Complete the Trip From Mate
Icing: to Pretoria.
LONDON. June 23. 3:30 A. M. General
Bteyn's forces In the Orange River Col--ony
are for the time drawing "most of
the attention of Lord Roberts, rather to
the neglect of Commandant-General Louie
!Botha and President Kruger. The sever
ance between the Transvaal and the Or
ange River Colony was completed yester--day,
as Lord Roberts said It would be, by
the arrival of General Buller's army at
Standerton. The wide net around the COM
or 8005 men Tinder General Steyn will now
ontract. Adroit maneuvering and brisk
fighting are likely to take place, because
until all resistance south' of the Vaal Is at
.an end. the British line of communications
-will not be safe. "
President Kruger's nora, who surren
dered to General Baden-Powell, are back
on their farms and working peacefully.
General Baden-Powell rode with only 200
men from Mafeklng. and he made the last
ecction of his nde to Pretoria with only
25. Lord Roberts met him In the outskirts
of town and escorted him to the Presi
dency. General Dewet's farm houses have been
burned by the British.
General Buller has issued a special order
eulogizing the services of Strathcona'a
.Horse.
Captain Jones and the Brigade from
H. M. S. Torte have been ordered back
to the ship at the Admiral's request.

lie "Will Gradually Snrroend and Dis
arm the Tiro Boer Armies.
NEW YORK, June 22. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
General Buller's advance to Sand Spruit
Is almost the only fresh point In the mil
itary situation in South Africa. His
march is in the direction of Standerton,
which commands the road northwara
from Vrede.
Lord Roberts has announced his plan
of operations already and the occupation
of Heidelberg by forces from Johannes
burg may confidently be expected within
AS hours. The remnants of Presidents
.Kruger and Steyn's armies will then be
separated and gradually hemmed In and
disarmed.
The process ought not to require much
time, as the Dutch forces in the two sec
tions cannot now number more than 10.OM
men. Military men are not surprised by
tho delay on the British s.de. They assert
that the business of feeding over 200.C01
soldiers in a country where food Is scarce
Is a most serious undertaking.
. Rumors have been revived that Generals
Botha and Dewet will surrender their
forces if they can gain any points by ne
gotiation, but these appear to be prema
ture. Dewet has not yet been thoroughly
beaten and Botha came near surrounding
French's troops during the last battle.
The story that the bridge on the Delagoa
Railway -as blown up by the premature
explosion of a mine. Is hardly credible.
PRETORIA AND NATAL.
Buller's Advance "Will Open Com

USED A RAZOR. '
Jealousy at the Bottom of a Cutting:
Affray.
ELDORADO. Kan.. June 22. The neigh
bors of Mrs. Olin Castle heard screams
at her home today. They rushed there
and found Mrs. Castle, a bride of one
week, lying on the floor with her throat
cut. Bending over her was Miss Jessie
Morrison, who also had a gash In her
throat and was cut in several other
places. A razor was lying on the floor.
Mrs. Castle wrote a dying statement
saying that Miss Morrison came to her
home, accused her of writing a certain
letter, attacked her with a razor and
then cut her own throat. Miss Morrison
says .Mrs. Castle called her In, attacked
her with a razor and she cut Mrs. Cas
tle's throat in self-defense. Mrs. Castle
is believed to be dying. Miss Morrison
will recover. Jealousy. It Is said. Is at
the bottom of the affair.
MURAVIEFF'S DEATH.
Way Have an Important Bearing on
the Chinese Question.
NETY YORK. June 22. The sudden
death of Count Muravieff Is a startling
Incident which has an Important bearing
upon the China question and Russian
policy. He was the most pacific Min
ister of Foreign Affairs Russia had
.known during recent years and exercised
restraining Influence over the ambitious
Generals. The Czar called him from
Copenhagen when a successor for Prince
Lobanoff was needed, and that was a
quiet capital where a minister had easily
been convinced that Russia and Great
Britain ought to get on comfortably to
gether. Count Muravieff not only took up the
Czar's project for a peace conference at
The Hague and carried it through in a
sympathetic spirit, but he also practiced
peace in his relations with the European
powers and declined to take advantage
of England's heavy work in South Af
rica, His death ha come at an Inop
portune moment for the settlement of
the great questions connected with
the Impending dissolution of the Chi
nese Empire. His successor may be more
easily influenced from Paris and less
cautious in dealing with Germany and
England.
BADEN-POWELLS NOTES.
Colonel's Correspondence Witk Beer
General Amused the Boys.
London Illustrated Bits.
One of Baden-Powell's most regular
correspondents was General Snyman, the
party who made a regular Job of trying
to rush Mafeking every Tuesday and Fri
day, and passing the rest of the week
In recovering from the effects of his
rush.
The correspondence would start In a.
curt sort of way. Snyman would drop
a line to say that he was about to shell
the hospitals and the women's laager, as
he didn't seem to be making any Im
pression anvwhere else. Then Baden
Powell would acknowledge the receipt of
his kind letter, and offer to place every
facility In the way of the Boers for
committing the brutality that they evi
dently regarded as one of tho sweet
pleasures of life. Bnyman's reply to that
would be in the shape of splinters of
scrap iron, and after an hour or two's
steady shooting he would send in another
letter telling Baden-Powell that there
would be half an hour's rest for tho
funeral of the victims. Baden-Powell
would reply In a genial sort of way that
so far there were no victims to deal
with and he trusted Mr. Snyman woula
go on shooting as long as his health and
fancy permitted.
Sometimes Baden-Powell would write In
a less conciliatory vein. It seems that
on one occasion, after shelling Mafeklng
for three hours and a half, the Boera
smashed up a two-pound box of cigars
In Baden-Powell's tent, which he had
omitted to remove when the shooting be
gan. Baden-Powell was naturally a gooa
deal upset at this, and he wrote rather
sharply to Snyman. saying that while he
could take a Joke with anybody, he
thought It was going a little too far to
Jack up the garrison's smoking mixture.
In reply. Snyman shelled the town again
for another two hours: and then Baden
Powell wrote rather sharply to Sny
man. saying that they would really have
to charge him for housing his waste scrap
iron. He said thej had a collection of
busted shells In a corner of the city that
weighed several tons, and they really
hadn't the room to spare for useless
bric-a-brac
If there was no shooting In the after
noon. Baden-Powell would organize some
athletic sports and an occasional church
bazaar pr Sundav school raffle. "While
the show was on he would wander
around telling the leading" citizens stories
of his childhood to make them laugh and
keep them cheerful. Sometimes, when
things were going along all right, he
would go up to his studio and do a little
painting. If on such an occasion Mr.
Snyman sent a message calling on the
garrison to surrender at once. Baden
Powell would reply with a little note
saying he would be obliged If Mr. Sny
man would please go away Into the next
street, as he was busy working on his
new poster for the military tournament,
and hadn't any time for frivollng Just
then.
In the evening Baden-Powell turned
himself Into a public entertainer for the
time being. He would have a piano on
the platform In the big concert hall, and
he would announce that he was about to
give a little Corney Grain entertainment
for the benefit of the stranded Boers.
Now and ngain there would be an inter
ruption. Just as he had got on to tho
rollicking chorus of a song Imitating
Kruger having a night out. the call boy
would come on with an urgent note.
Bnden-Powell would read the note ana
then say: "Excuse me. ladles and gen
tlemen. I have got to go out In rather
a hurry to push the Boers back a little.
I will return in about half an hour,
and will then have the honor to present
my unique Imitation of Dr. Leyds trying
to speak tho truth without the aid of
mechanical apparatus of any kind."
Then Baden-Powell would go out and.
having returned once Just to take his
call before the curtain, would hurry
away to the back and draw up a plan
for dusting the Boers off the outskirts
of the city. After a few minutes' steady
shelling, and a couple of bayonet rusne
of so, he would get a letter from Sny
man charging him with harshness and
br-'allty toward the poor Boers who
were trying to sneak Into Mafeklng under
cover of the nlcht. Then Baden-Powell
would smile quietly to himself and call
his men back and tell them to go and
get drinks, after which he would return
to the concert-room and give his imita
tion as promised, together with a couple
of encore verses that he had thought up
during the little scuffle.
At night when the citizens were In bed
Baden-Powell would go down into the
larder and experiment. It appears thai
he has Invented a recipe for horse
sausage that knocks the saveloy of com
merce clean oft the field.

MIDSUMMER DULLNESS
DISTRIBUTIVE TRADE IS OK A RE
STRICTED SCALE.
Marked. Upward Mereseat la. Prloea
of Arricnltaral Products The
Weekly Trade Re-rlews.
NEW YORK. Juno 12. Bradstreef s to
morrow will say:
Midsummer dultnesi In distributive
trade and Industry, and further reduction
of prices In manufactured goods, particu
larly iron and steel and raw textiles, but
a marked upward movement In nearly all
agricultural products, are the leading
features of the business situation thl3
werk. Wheat ha3 advanced 14 cents per
bushel since June L and 20 cents from the
low point reached In November, a gain
over the latter period of 27 per cent In
price. Corn-crop advices are still In a
high degree encouraging, but that cereal
has sympathized with wheat, as has also
oats, and hog products In turn felt the
quickening Influence of higher prices for
corn. Improved demand for dairy prod
ucts is reflected In slight advances this
week. Crop damage has been a moving
cause for the advance In the prico of cot
ton. Some weakness has been noted in
cotton goods, without, however, favor
ably affecting distribution. Trade in dry
goods has been helped by warmer weath
er. Wool is lower, and the woolen-goods
market is rather quiet, awaiting tho next
London wool sale and the opening of the
8pring-wo!ght season.
Weakness of prices le still the leading
feature of the iron trade, and lower quo
tations are noted for plg-lron. Structural
material also has verified predictions In
a decline of from ?7 to $9 per ton. Do
mestic orders for. Iron are perhaps slight
ly more numerous, but are for small
quantities. Talk of a systematic shut
down of iron furnace. production for the
nrvpn mnrVt r-nrriM fhlflt fmm th RotlUl.
but while this subject Is under consldera- I
lion, the disease is finding a partial cure
lp the going out of blast of a number of
less economical furnaces, and the Sum
mer shut-down of many mills. Export de
mand is good, but, as for some time past,
waits upon the question of freight room.
The other metals are steady, and practi
cally unchanged In price, with the ex
ception of tin, which Is slightly slower.
A heavy business Is doing In refined
sugar, and the manufacturers are over
sold. A good margin of profit exists in
this trade. Reports from the boot and
shoe industry are of rather unsatisfac
tory trade prospeots, and leather and
hides are rather weak at the East, but
strong at Chicago, where heavy purchases
for Philippine Army purposes have
strengthened the situation. Building de
mand for lumber is not active, but white
pine is relatively firm. Southern pine is
in oversupply in a number of markets.
Anthracite coal Is in seasonable distribu
tion, while the demand for bituminous
continues active.
Whea. (Including flour) shipments for
the week aggregate 4,645,160 bushels,

DUN'S BE VIEW.
Crop Damage Report the Overshad
owing: Factor.
NEW YORK, June 22. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weakly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The damage to the wheat crop of the
Northwest is the event of chief import
ance. How extensive the loss may prove,
in view of tho widely conflicting accounts,
can only be Juuged from the specula
tive markets. It is Information gathered
at the West that has caused a remark
able advance at Chicago, 15 ants In 10
days, and the price here has advanced
11 cents per bushel, though for the Sep
tember option only 9 cents. The belief
Is that a large part of the Spring wheat
has been killed so as to reduce a yield
expected to be close to the largest on
record as to be considerably less than
the world has required during the crop
year now ending. Until within the past
three years it would have been reasoned
that. any material advance In prices would
neutralize the foreign condition, which
had caused exports of about IW.OM.Oifl
bushels of wheat, flour Included, in tho
closing year after 223,000.000 bushels In
the previous year and 217,000.000 bushels
In the year 1S9S. besides exports of 213.
000.005 bushels of corn In the closing year
against 177.0O),C00 last year and 212,OW,0o0
In the previous year.
But the fact seems to indicate a more
extensive and lasting Increase of foreign
demand than has been considered prob
able. Other sources of heavy export
have been found disappointing. The
United States continues to show enor
mous power of increase. If supported by
prices, which, until recent years, would
hardly have been regarded remarkably
high. If the coming crop falls much be
low expectations the demand for It may
prove surprising, even though prices "av
erage more than have been expected.
In iron and steel structural producers
a week ago reduced the prices of beams
to Jl 90 and angles to Jl 80 at Pittsburg,
leaving only rails and tin plates, which
have not been reduced from the highest
point. The rallworks are crowded far
ahead, and the question in plates de
pends largely upon wages. Western bar
Is reduced to 31 55 and steel bars to Jl 50
at Pittsburg, with a general shutting
down of works expected July 1. Hoops
are quoted lower at $2 23, and No. 27
black sheets at 3 cents, buyers asking
only for small lots. There Is a wide
range of quotations for merchant steel,
and the lower prices named for pipe
has only started the demand a little,
as buyers expect yet lower quotations.
Minor metals also quiet, with small trans
actions. The shipments of boots and shoes, only
233.74S cases, in three weeks of June
are over 20 per cent smaller than In
1899 or 1895. and smaller by 10 per cent
or more In other years. The Jobbers still
appear inclined to wait, and some man
ufacturers decline quotations recently
named, and have closed or reduced forces.
Of necessity the best economy in pro
duction cannot be reached under such
conditions. Hides at Chicago are not
changed for the week, as reported gains
and losses balance.
Lower prices are agatn reported for
several grades of cotton goods, nnd are
expected for others, and buying is there
by retarded. Heavy brown goods and
drills and denims are dull, and without
doubt the uncertainty of the material
market had some Influence. Tho price
of raw cottons han again advanced a
quarter during the past week, but with
out clear indications of increased demand
for the supply remaining or lnsufflcleno
of that supply.
In woolen goods the manufacturers also
find that the demand falls to nnswer ex
pectations or to support prices asked at
the opening, and some large works are
now reported running part time or clos
ing. At the three chief markets wool has
been extremely dull with sales of only
2,720.600 pounds. Even where considera
ble blocks are found at low figures the
conditions of the goods market Is by no
mans encouraging to buyers.
Failures for the week have been 17? J
In the United States against 178 last year
and X In Canada against 13 last year.

The Financial SIt.mflon.
NEW YORK, June 22. Bradstreefs
financial review tomorrow will say:
Easy money and the absence of any
largo material for speculation have tend
ed to limit the declines which the stock
market naturally exhibited on bad crop
advices and the alarming developments In
China.
The market had a reactionary appear
ance, but the selling of stocks has been
largely. If not mainly, by bear traders,
although some long stock was forced out,
especially In the Grangers. Berlin, too.
contributed toward the concessions, sell
ing through London considerable amounts
of Its holding of American stocks, and
the financial and speculative complica
tions at Berlin have been regarded with
attention here as an argument in favor
of conservatism and caution. The some
what Improved aspect of the financial
situation In Germany toward the end of
the week was therefore a favorable sign,
and it has also been noted that the Lon
don money market, though sensitive to
the influences of the troubles in the East,
and the financial pressure on the Conti
nent, has been the zone of many disturb
ances. The fact that New York has sup
plied Paris and Berlin with nearly $10,
000,000 of gold in the last few weeks, with
out it having any effect on rates for
money at New York, is a notable fact,
and a decided demonstration of the
strength of our financial position. In fact,
it is thought that the recent gold move
ments have been due largely to loans
made In New York for Berlin Interests,
and it Is also pointed out that the steady
Increase in the average bank loans at
New York indicates that considerable
money Is again being Invested In foreign
bills, which Is equivalent to discounting
European time obligations with American
capital.

THE AMERICAN DERBY
ONLY SEVEN SURE STARTERS FOR
THE GREAT RACE.
LleHtexant Glhasa la the Favorite,
Sasa Phillips Second Choice Re
salts of Yesterday's Events.
CHICAGO, Juno 22, There are appar
ently only seven sure starters, for tomor
row's American Derby, worth about $15,
000. Three or four others are mentioned
as possible starters, but apparently the
list will be confined to the following:
Lieutenant Gibson, 129, Boland; Sam
PhllHps, 127, Burns; Advance Guard. 122.
Taral; James, 122, Mitchell; Silver Garter,
122, Bullmon; Barrack, 122, McDermott;
Norford. 122, Enos.
W. Oliver's colt. All Gold, may start.
If so, be will carry 122 pounds; and be rtd
dan by Caywood. Yellow Tall, it Is eaid,
will not Btart, but there are those who
think he will go to the post. Sidney Lucas,
122, is also carded as a starter, and he
has many followers, yet it is given out on
good authority tonight that he will not
go to tho post. Reminder and Knight Ban
nert are also carded to start, but there is
hardly a chance that they will do .
The track is certain to be quite heavy.
It was cloudy today, and as the rain last
night was heavy, it seems certain the go
hig will be deep. The condition of the
track makes C. H. Smith's colt. Lieuten
ant Gibson, more than ever a favorite.
Tonight erven money was the prevailing
odds aX the sporting resorts, although good
bets at a better figure were obtainable.
It is thought seven to five will be of
fered in the rititf tomorrow. Sam Phillips
will bo second choice and Advance Guard
probably will be third choice. G. B. Mor
ris decided to roly on Silver Garter rather
than Pupil, as the latter Is out of con
dition. The local public does not know
much about James, and Silver Garter, the
Eastern entry, and most of the betting
will be on Lieutenant Gibson and Sam
Phillips with a little play upon Barrack,
a Chicago horse, because of his ability to
run In the mud. Norford will ateo havo
following, because he Is the property of
"Lucky" Baldwin.
The betting will be conducted In the
same way as in 1893. No boards will be
displayed, the bookmakers merely using
small cardboards on which they will show
the odds.

Smith.
NEW YORK. June 22. Joe Bernstein, of
this city, met Solly Smith, of Los Angeles.
Cal., at the Broadway Athletic Club, and,
after fighting 14 rounds. Smith was dis
qualified for fouling. The men were
matched to fight 23 rounds at 124 pounds.
From the outset Smith seemed inclined
to lose on a fouL In the first he went
down without provocation, and Referee
Johnny White made him get to his feet
quickly, as his dropping was too palpable.
Several times he dropped to one knee to
avoid punishment, but In the seventh.
Smith sent a right-hand swing to Bern
stein's Jaw, which staggered the East
S'-der. In the 11th round Smith was down
from a straight left, and in the follow
ing round he sent Bernstein to the floor
by a right-hand swing Dock of the ear.
After this Smith was visibly weakened.
but bis pluck and gamenesa were admir
able. He knew he was up against a los
ing game, and rushed, smashed and
clinched without regard for science or
rules. In the 14th round Bernstein sent
Solly down three times th rights on the
Jaw. After getting up the third time.
Smith butted Bernstein deliberately, but
the referee did not see it. Then, after a
clinch, he hit Bernstein, very low on the
body with his right a minute before tho
end of the round, and the referee promptly
disqualified the Callfornlan for Intentional
foul.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. .
Philadelphia-Brooklyn Game Ended
In a Farce.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22, Today's
game between Philadelphia and Brooklyn
developed Into a farce and culminated In
a forfeiture against the locals. During
the progress of the game Philadelphia
utilized four pitchers, and Brooklyn
placed four men on the rubber. In the
ninth inning Kltson. who had been sub
stituted for McGInnlty In the eighth, was
batted freely by Philadelphia, who tied the
score. In the 10th inning neither side
scored, but when Brooklyn went to bat
in the 11th they made three tallies before
two men were out. Then the home team
began to delay the game by sending men
to bases on balls and refusing to put
them out when the opportunity offered.
Umpire O'Day then gave the game to
Brooklyn 9 to 0. Attendanco, 5682. The

Willie's Thirst Xor Knowledge. -,
Pliiladelphia Inquirer.
It -was on a steam railroad going from
Washington to Philadelphia that I over
heard the following conversation between
a little boy. Just at the Interesting- age,
anxious to know, and his aunt, whose
patience-was severely tested by little Wit
lie's questions. The first to attract his
attention was a buzzard flying high In
tho air.
"Oh, auntie!" he exclaimed, "look at
that chicken way up there."
'That's no chicken, Willie; that's a
buzzard."
"But. auntie, I don't hear him buzz."
"Auntie, look at the man pumping the
cow; Is she punctured?"
"He is milking the cow, Willie. Do be
still for a. while."
After a short pause ho espied several
pumpkins, in a field and tasked:
"Auntie, Is a pun'kln a grown-up or
ange?" Auntie kept quiet In hopes of bringing
him to a stop
Next to meet his gazorwas a man walk
ing through the car.
"Auntie is that man drunk?"
"Hush, Willie; It Is the motion of, the
car that makes him walk so crooked."
"But. auntie, papa walks that way on
the street when he leaves the club."
"Will you be quiet for a while. If you
please?"
"Auntie, look at the moon. Where did
all the stars come from?"
"I don't know. Willie. Don't ask so
many questions."
"Did tho moon lay 'cm, auntie?"
And as darkness drew -on little Willie
began to nod and auntie, gavo a sigh of
relief.
A Pathetic Parting: When Congress
Adjourned.
Washington Letter.
One of the most patthetlc scenes ever
witnessed at tho Capitol was the parting
of the blind chaplain and the membeni
of Congress tho day of adjournment.
There Is scarcely a man In the Houso
but who has formed an attachment for
Chaplain Couden, and yet not many fre
quenters of the Capitol know the cauae of
his affliction. While a private during the
Oval War a eheil hurst near him and
the flying fragments deprived him of fcia
sight. A story related of the incident is
that while Chaplain Couden was being
carried from tho field of battle some one
said: "Poor fellow, he will never see
again. He might fcetter be dead." He re
plied!: "Don't be too sure of that, boys,
you may hear from me yet." Since then,
and as chaplain of the House, more than
oneiof the boys who sat around the camp
fire with hdm has listened to his touchirs
prayers from his stand ait the Speaker's
tdesk, or to some reference to the days
when he "soldiered with the boya" Dr.
'Couden Is not less a poet than .an able,
scholar, and one of his greatest delights
isto compose and read verses of hia own
at a reunion of his comrades. He Is by
farUhe most popular chaplain the Housa

ithat he couldn't pull himself past the

off the dog."
"What about the button?
