WAR IS ON AGAIN Renewal of Fighting Between British and Boers. DELAREY SUFFERED DEFEAT BablnKton's Force Attacked and Routed Dntch Commando JVear Ventersdorp, Killing? and Capturing: Man. LOXBON, March 25. The "War Office has received the following dispatch from Ixrd Kitchener: "Pretoria, March 25. Babington's force. Including Shekleton's column, attacked Delarey, 1E00 strong, southwest of Ven tersdorp. and defeated him, following him up rapidly, with the result that the Boer rear guard was driven in and their convoy captured. Including the guns captured at "Vaalsbank. Our troops displayed great gallantry and dash. They captured two 15-pounder guns and one pom-pom, six Maxims, 320 rounds of big ammunition, 15,000 rounds of small ammunition, 160 rifles, 63 wagons and 24 carts, besides tak ing 140 prisoners. Our losses were slight. Many Boers were killed or wounded." The official casualty list issued this even, ing indicates a renewal of active opera tions since the failure of the negotiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha. At Hartebeestfonteln, March 22 and 23, two officers wero killed and three wounded, and four men killed and 20 wounded. There also seems to have been heavy fighting at Aplle, near Gredgedacht. March 18, and near Ventersburg March 16. Ventersdorp, the scene of the defeat of Delarey, is about 57 miles northeast from Hartebeestfonteln. It is possible, there fore, that the advices as to fighting at these points really refer to the same en gagement. The Pretoria correspondent of the Stand ard says that it is obvious some month's must pass before Boer resistance can be crushed. The Amsterdam correspondent of the Dally Express says he understands that Mr. Kruger has advised Acting President Schalkberger to formulate peace terms. Boers Near Queenntoivn. QUEENSTOWN. Cape Colony, March 25. The town guard has been called out owing to reports that a force of Boers is near the town. Business has been shut down in order to allow the employes to man the trenches and forts day and night. The Boers, who are said to be 20 miles off, are alleged to have crossed the railroad near Drummond. Boers Lost Heavily. CAPE TOWN, March 25. It is said the Boers lost heavily in attacking the garri son at Lychtenburg last week. More than 70 burghers are reported to have been shot at one epot among the wire entangle ments. BRITISH ARMY REFORMS. Kerr Scheme Almost Amounts to Conscription. NEW YORK, March 25. The London correspondent of the Tribune, writing of England's scheme of military reorganiza tion, says: The new scheme of military organization may be roughly described as the half way house to conscription. It involves the development of existing system of volun tary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reason able execution of success. When the ex periment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory the way will be opened for compulsory service. The War Office will then be in a position to assert that everything is done under the volun tary system to provide an adequate army for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. The only alternative from the official and military point of view will be com pulsory service. The military experts who have been contending for years that con scription was inevitable and that the em pire could not be defended without it, unite In pronouncing Mr. Broderick's speech a masterly performance. That is because they perceive the trend of an exceedingly artificial attempt to provide 125.000 new troops and to organize six army corps, in as many districts, for con stant training and annual maneuvers. Mr. Broderlck himself spoke like an official who was condemned for political reasons to make brick without straw, and had lit tle confidence in the voluntary system. The reorganized army will consist of three army corps of regulars, with head quarters at Aldershot, Salisbury Plain and Dublin, and three army corps of aux iliary forces at Colchester, York and Scot land, with 60 battalions of militia and volunteers, a considerable body of Imperial Yeomanry and 21 volunteer field artillery batteries. Each corps will have Its own staff, transports and stores, and be vir tually self-adminlstratlve. There will be no great Increase of regulars, although from 13 to 18 battalions will be gained by the withdrawal of the Mediterranean and colonial garrisons and by the trans fer of Indian troops to tropical posts and placing coaling stations under the control of the navy; but 50,000 will be added to the militia, the yeomanry will be recruited to 35.000, and In one way or another over 125,000 fresh troops will be brought under training In six districts. All these changes are made in order to keep three army corps in readiness for foreign servico in an o-r.ergency. yet to leave three army corps behind to provide for home defense; and whether the troops are dispatched abroad or held In reserve, every corps will have Its own organiza tion, cavalry, artillery and transport, and be systematically trained for modern war fare. The scheme looks effective on paper; the cnier practical difficulty is promptly sug gested by France, German and Austrian critics. How can the men be obtained? What magic can recruiting have in the future which it has lacked In the past? There is no Increase of pay for regulars or militiamen, and there are no additional attractions in a servico which Is to be rendered more arduous than ever before. The scheme of reorganization involves the liquidation of a political debt. When the Salisbury government dissolved Par liament last Autumn it pledged itself to reorganize the army, and consequently some project which looks impressive on paper had to be brought forward after the elections. When that pledge was made, the government itself was open to criticism for having underestimated the fighting resources of the Boers, and It was convenient for Ministers to lay stress on weak points of the military sys tem and the necessity for a complete re vision of methods. The Ministers, in re deeming their promise, indict the patriot ism of the nation, the loyalty of the colo nies and the efficiency of the voluntary system. Their scheme of reorganization is virtually a confession that everything went wrong in South Africa, that the army was unequal to Its work, and that the voluntary system broke down. That Indictment is not well founded. The Mfc. Isters miscalculated the resources of the Boers; either Lord Lansdowne or Lord Wolseley sent one army corps to do the work of six; Infantry undertook the im possible task of fighting mobile mounted forces; the Generals were amateurish in such battles as Nicholson's Nek and Co lenso, and reckless at Stormburg and Ma gersfonteln; the officers lacked flexibility and quickness of mind; the staff work was bad and the medical and transport serv ices were defective. Aldershot has not come out well, nor has Pall Mall nor Downing street; but the soldiers never flinch In their duty, and the army as a whole endured the strain of a terrible campaign with splen did staying power. The results in South Africa have been highly creditable to the rank and file and have fully vindicated the efficiency of the auxiliary forces un der voluntary enlistment. Pall Mall made some woeful miscalculations and the offi cers in the field were not always up to their work; but In order to retrieve these blunders It was not necessary to call In question the discipline of the volunteer army, and the patriotism of the nation by the present plan of reorganization, which stimulates the spread of militarism in a peace-loving community and leaves as the basis of Imperial defense a specious paper scheme enmeshed with red tape without the soldiers in plain sight. The Chamberlain Libel Suit. LONDON, March 25. On the resumption today of the hearing of the libel actions brought against the Star and the Morning Leader by Arthur Chamberlain and his son. Neville Chamberlain. In connection with charges bearing on War Office con tracts, counsel for the defendant, con tinuing his address, declared Arthur Chamberlain had only decided to sue as an afterthought on consultation with Joseph Chamberlain, when the latter found he had no ground for action. Coun sel found justification for the articles in the manner In which orders were secured for the Arklow works, and the fact that the Kynochs secured government orders when their tenders were higher than others. Counsel considered it was a thou sand times to be rtgretted In the Interests of honor, purity and public life, that Joseph Chamberlain's Parliamentary statement to the effect that he had no Interest, direct or Indirect, in the con tracting companies was not corrected. Sir Edward Clark, rising to reply in be half of the plaintiffs, contended that the articles were purely and simply attacks on Joseph Chamberlain through Arthur Chamberlain. Turlca Mnsimcre Bnlgnrlans. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 25. Accord ing to private advices from Macedonia, a band of Turks massacred three Bul garian families, men, women and chil dren, in the village of Aghamahaleh, near Seres, a town 47 miles northeast of Sa lonica. Details of the outrage have not been received. The ne'ws created a pro found sensation. It is reporetd that a village near Gonastlrin, Macedonia, with a mixed population of Mussulmans and Bul garians, has been burned. READY FOR A CONFERENCE Object of Mlnevrorkers' Committee In Visiting Xew York. NEW YORK, March 25. President Mitchell, of the Miners' Union, sent the following statement to WUkesbarre to day: "I have had no conference with J. P. Morgan or any other railroad president or coal operator. Contrary to reports we, the committee, did not come to New York in response to any invitation. So far as I know the miners have not, up to this time, been offered or granted any concessions. Of course, we all hope to avert the strike and we are putting forth our most urgent efforts to that end. We came to New York for the purpose of holding a conference, If possible, and In doing so, we are simply carrying out the wishes expressed by a majority of those who attended the late conference at Hazleton." Senator Hanna visited several . places in the financial district today. When asked whether his presence here had any connection with coal strike rumors, the Senator replied it had none. "I am here on another matter," he said. "I have nothing to do with this affair and I don't know anything about it, save what I have heard aand read the last few days. I have not been con sulted regarding this matter at all." The Herald tomorrow will say that the operators of the anthracite mines and the executive officers of those railroads that are largely Interested In that In dustry are unanimous In the opinion there will be no strike ordered April 1 In the Pennsylvania coal regions. There seemed to be equal posltiveness in the assertion that, as an organization, the United Mlneworkers will not be recog nized by the operators. It seems to be pretty well established that Mr. Mitchell will not have an opportunity of holding any conference as the representative of the United' Mlneworkers with any of the anthracite operators or with any person representing them. The operators are averse to giving any recognition to the organization. Several of the railroad officials received dispatches from the coal region today and the recipients said that all were of the same tenor that the miners were anxious to avert a strike. Pittsburg District Scale Settled. PITTSBURG. March 25. Patrick Dolan, district president of the United Mlnework ers' Union, announced today that after a conference lasting more than three weeks the operators conceded the demands made by the miners In the new wage scale, and a fair settlement for the Pittsburg district has been effected. The miners' officials will take up the Beaver and Irwin district scales this week. THE WESTERN BLIZZARD. Storm Which Raged In Colorado and "Wyoming Has Passed Away. DEXVER, March 25. The storm which raged In Colorado and Wyoming yester day and last night has passed away, and under the bright sunshine the snow is fast disappearing. The weather has not been cold, and It is not believed that range stock has suffered much. Railroad trafllc Is still very much delayed, all trains from the East being reported from six to eight hours late. Trains from the West are also off time. The Chicago Commer cial Club, which was scheduled to arrive here at G o'clock tonight, will not reach the city until tomorrow morning, having been delayed several hours by the burn ing of a rldge on the Rio Grande West ern near Descret, Utah. Floods In Chicago Suburbs. CHICAGO. March 25. Heavy ralna of the past few days have caused floods In the lowlands south and southeast of Chi cago and the suburban towns of Grand Crossing, Drexel. Woodruff, Dauphin Park and Burnslde are inundated. The flood in some places Is so deep that many fami lies are imprisoned In their houses, and sidewalks, fences and outbuildings have floated away. The conditions are worse at Burnslde, where the streets are under a foot of water. A dike at Elghty-oeventh street and the Illinois Central tracks has given away under the pressure and fully two feet of water poured over the sur rounding country, basements within an area of four miles being flooded and con siderable other damage done. Early Crops Destroyed. MATTOON, HI.. March 25. A terrific hail and wind storm passed over this section last night, doing great damage to prop erty and early crops.

A Ministerial Council was held at Sars-koe-Selo yesterday, under the presidency of the Czar, to discuss the riots, the con tinuation of which tomorrow is anticipat ed. The delegations of the students at a meeting yesterday withdrew their pre vious Invitation to assemble tomorrow. This step was taken In order to prevent the police from arresting those who have taken an active part in the agitation for students' liberties and university reforms and drafting them into the army. In spite of this, it is feared that the workingmen will assemble, as strikes are threatening to break out tonight. Several large forces of troops accoutered for active service marched through the streets today, pre sumably towards the suburbs to check the workmen of certain factories who have been warned against entering the city Sunday under the penalty of losing their positions. In military circles it Is reported that the officers of the Cossack Guard Regi ment have petitioned the authorities not to employ them henceforth In suppressing riots, holding that pitting them against defenseless men and women is beneath their dignity. Lleutenant-General Prince Vlazmlnsky, a member of the Imperial Council, who protested against the con duct of the police and Cossacks, has re signed, according to reports. Practically all the higher educational Institutions are Idle, Including, according to today's In formation, the Khurkoff, Odessa, Kazan and Kieff Universities. A student named Bobrltzky, who was wounded In the Khurkoff riots, died the following day. The above is an uncensored dispatch. Censored dispatches referring to the same subjects conflict In some respects with the uncensored message. Sunday. The Socialist organs called off their proposed demonstrations.

About 40,000 persons, Including a few stu dents and factory workmen. Idled along the Nevosky Prospekt for about half an hour at noon, but within an hour later the streets were no livelier than usual. The police and military occupied the parade grounds and other open places. Large as semblages are possible, but no disturb ance Is looked for unless In the suburbs occupied by the workmen. MAXY HEADS HURT. Free Fight Among Russian Xihlllsts In Xctt York. NEWYORK. March25. The Times says: A meeting of Russians held last night at a hall on Henry street to form plans for aiding the Nihilists In St. Petersburg broke up In wild disorder after a free fight, in which at least half the audience Joined. The hall was filled to the doors, but everything went off smoothly until a committee was appointed to call a mass meeting to raise funds for the Nihilists. Just after the committee had been named some one shouted: "Down with the spies. Throw them out.-" "Kill the spies," chorused a dozen oth ers. A man near the door struck a man near him In the face with his fist. His victim retaliated, and this seemed to be the signal for a general scrimmage. With wild shouts and yells in various lan guages people In the audience began an onslaught on others for no apparent rea son. Some fought with chairs and oth ers with their fists, and the din could have been heard a block away. For 10 minutes pandemonium reigned. Non combatants, of which there were only a few, stood on seats until they were jostled down. "Out with the spies," shouted a voice, and three or four people were promptly thrown down .the stairs. One or two others shouted "police!" and announced that they were going for po licemen. This quieted the people, the fight stopped, and a stampede from the hall followed. Though many were bleed ing about the face, none was seriously hurt, and there were no arrests made. Marseilles Is Quiet. MARSEILLES. March 25. The strike situation has undergone little change. There have been no further disorders. more street-cars are running today, pro tected by police; the strikers are quietly trying to Influence workers to Join them.

The sun shone brightly, and the crowds were early astir, pouring Into Valetta and filling the terrace and ramparts command ing a view of the harbor. The approach of the Ophrr was heralded when she was still IS miles distant by sa lutes from a flotilla of 15 torpedo-boats, which went out to meet her. She entered the harbor amid salvos of artillery from St. Anglo, the citadel forts and warships. After receiving the officials, the Duke and Duchess landed and drove to Porto Reale, and thence to the palace. The bal. conies of all the houses along the route were profusely decorated with flags and bunting, and filled with cheering specta tors. The entire distance from the land ing place to the palace was brightly deco rated with Venetian masts and arches. The streets through which the Duke and Duchess and their party passed were lined with troops and blue Jackets. ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA. An Official .Explanation In the House of Commons. LONDON. March 25. Replying to Sir Ellis Ashmead - Bartlett, Conservative, who asked In the House of Commons today whether Russia had presented Chi na with a modified agreement regarding Manchuria and whether Russia had withdrawn from the so-called concert of Europe, the Under Foreign Secretary. Lord Cranbourne, said the government "understood that the terms of the proposed agreement were still under discussion, but he was unable to make any positive statement on the subject. The Russian OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, Government, he added, had informed the Government of Great Britain that Rus sia has no intention of withdrawing from co-operation with the other powers In China. Questioned in regard to the Russian concession at Tien Tsln. Lord Cranbourne said LI Hung Chang signed an agreement granting Russia a consid erable, tract of land which the Russian Ministers had previously claimed by right of conquest. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was not aware by what authority LI Hung Chang signed the concession and the Chinese Government had de clared Its validity and therefore It must be reserved for further examination. Count Lamsdorff made a similar decla ration March 20. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Chancellor of the Exchequer, was asked whether. In view of the formation of the United States steel corporation and the threat ened Increase In the German duties on steel, he will consider the advisability of proposing a substantial Import duty on foreign steel. The Chancellor said the Inquirers must await the presentation of the budget. The Colonial Secretary, Mr. Chamber lain, when asked if It was possible to change the offer of peace terms to the Boers, said the negotiations were closed. and there was no Intention of reopening them. English Duty on Grain. LIVERPOOL. March 25. The Daily Post hears that the failure of the peace negotiations In South Africa Is causing the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hlcks-Bcach. to consider the expediency of abandoning the suggestion of a shilling registration duty on corn In favor of a two shillings direct duty. Tronble Breaks Out In Coren. LONDON, March 26. At Intschau, Co rea, collisions have" occurred between the president and missionary students, ac cording to the St. Petersburg corre spondent of the Dally Mall and several students have been killed or wounded. STEEL TRUST MAGNATES. Secret Conference Held at Morgan's Oillce In Xerr York. NEW YORK. March 25. There was a conference of steel Interests at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. today. It was attended by Mr. Morgan, Judge Gary, Charles M. Schwab, John W. Gates and Senator Mark Hanna. Alter It was over the participants declined to go Into par ticulars, although one of them said that the size and color of the new stock cer tificates of the United States Steel Cor poration were discussed. From other sources It was learned that the personnel of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation was decided on. Colonel Isaac C. Elwood, of Chicago, de clared tonight that he would not oppose In any way the plans of J. P. Morgan In perfecting the ?1,000.000,000 steel trust. Morgan Buying Out Hanna. CLEVELAND, O., March 25. It became known here today that J. P. Morgan Is negotiating with Senator Hanna for the transfer to the United States Steel Cor poration of Mr. Hanna's Interest in the American Shipbuilding Company. The un derstanding is also that John D. Rocke feller, who owned one-tenth of the stock of the shipbuilding company, transferred his Interest, and that the effort now Is to gain control of Mr. Hanna's holdings, which are said to be equal to those of Mr. Rockefeller. Mr. Hanna was the largest individual stockholder In the American Shipbuilding Company. The sale of Rockefeller's Interest to the United States Steel Corporation means virtually the retirement of that gentleman from the Lakes. If the sale of Mr. Hanni's se curities Is accomplished, the Senator will also virtually have retired from business. The possession of the Rockefeller and Hanna Interests gave the United States Steel Corporation, a foundation of one fifth of air the securities. NEW YORK, March 25. The announce ment made last week that J. P. Morgan & Company have purchased what Is known as the Rockefeller Interests In the ships, railways and mines of the North west was confirmed todiy by Mr. Rocke feller's representative, F. T. Gates, who Is president of the Bessemer Steamship Company, the Duluth, Mesaba & North ern Railway and the Lake Superior mines. AN AMERICA! "BLACK POPE." Father Meyer May Become the Gen eral of the Jesuits. NEW YORK, March 25. The Herald says: Among the possibilities suggested by reports from Rome Is that of an American becoming "the Black Pope." There are according to an old saying, three Popes In Rome "the White Pope," who elts in the chair of St. Peter; "the Red Pope," who Is the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda; and "the Black Pope," who Is the General of the Jesuits. Cardinal Gibbons' name has often been mentioned for the first named office. That of Father Rudolph F. Meyer, also an American, Is also spoken of In connection with the last of the trio. According to the reports In reference, Leo XIII has determined to remove Father Martin, General of the Society of Jesus, on the grounds that the recent popular demon strations against the order in France, Austria, Spain and Portugal, are due to mlsmangement, for which Father Martin Is held responsible by his holiness. Members of the Society of Jesus in this city are Inclined to doubt the accuracy of this report. They believe, however, that In view of Father Martin's bad state of health an assistant may be appointed with every likelihood of succeeding him eventually. "If any action had already been taken by the holy father," said the Rev. Father J. J. Wynne, S. J., last night, "It would have been reported to us by cable by our representative In Rome, Father Meyer. Nothing on the subject, however, has been received. On the other hand, there Is a possibility that a vicar has or may be ap pointed as assistant to Father Martin, who will take charge of his work. The General has been In bad health for a year or more, suffering seriously, I fear, from Brlght's disease. Though he is compar tlvely a young man, about 54 years of age, and has several assistants and ad visers who have charge of different sec tions of the world under his direction. Rev. Father Meyer, representing this country, his work Is very onerous. Unfier the circumstances I think It probable that the holy father has given him an assist ant." THE DEATH ROLL. "Widow of Preston S. Brooks, "Who Cnned Charles Sumner In Scnnte. COLUMBIA, S. C., March 25. The widow of Preston S. Brooks, who caned Charles Sumner in the United States Sen ate, died here last night. (Charles Sumner, Senator from Massa chusetts, was regarded as the most un sparing, most feared and most hated op ponent of- slavery in Congress when the Missouri compromise was repealed. In 1S54. and in the contest over the admission of Kansas in 1S56, In a speech on "The Crime Against Kansas," he sharply censured Senator Butler, of South Carolina. Two days afterward, on May 22, 1S56. as Sen ator Sumner was seated at his desk in the Senate Chamber, when the Senate was not In session, he was assaulted by Preston S.

Chile's purpose to retain the provinces of Tacna and Arica, notwithstanding the protests of Peru and Bolivia, Is formally acknowl edged In an official statement of the Chilean case communicated to the United Fojp&wamsed, The liability to disease is greatly lessened -when the blood is in good con dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves. As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S. has no equal.

These charges are counter to similar allegations made by the two last-named countries against Chile. Chile seeks to prevent an lnterven, tlon on the part of the United States In the South American dispute. Peru and Bo livia are utilizing every channel to bring pressure to bear upon the Administration to Induce it to take action. The President has definitely decided, however, that he will not take action unless all three pow ers request it.
