NEW YORK, June 4.-The Trlbune'a Iindon correspondent writes: The Ininiedlute sequel to the war Will bo the annexation of the two Dutch initiioi;viiil'.ha to the British empire. Tin-re will be temporary arrangemcnta for a military government, but ulti mately they will be converted Into aelf governltig dcpendenilca of the crown, like other colonial possessions. Aa time gcea on, the aame tendencies w'nUh have btoiiRht confedemtlnn In Canada and Auatmlla will operate In South Africa. That tills confederation will be essen tially Dutch la evident from the follow- In exhibit of population at the out break of the war: Cape Colony, 147,- 000 Itrltlidi. 21!9,(kio Dutch! Natal, 51,000 Urltlfdi. 10.0(10 Dutch; Transvaal, 120.- OtHiitruiHii, K'5,000 Dutch; Orange Free State. 7(.w) CiltlHh, "1,000 Dutch; Bechu annland aul UholeKit, 20,000 British 447,000 Dutch. What Is urinilMnkablc la the pre- ponJeranee of the Duti h over the Brit ish in numerical strength, in South Africa as a whole there are at least 100,000 Dutch In excess of the British population. If a confederation be formed, with a scheme of representa tive Rovernment similar to that of the Dominion of Canada, or to that which will bi brought Into existence by the Australian commonwealth bill, there will bo a Dutch South Africa with a DrltlHU viceroy. The Dutch will continue to rule Cape Colony ami the Orange Free State, and In the Transvaal they will dominate ev ery district except the mining camps of the Rnnd. i South Africans predict that here will be an Immense Immigration of British settlers, as soon as the war comes to an end and the paramount Influence of the Imperial government la established. There will be without doubt a large Increaso of British poulatlon In the mining district when the Transvaal Is converted Into a dependency of the crown; but It la by no mtana certain that immigration will reverse the pre ent conditions of Dutch preponderance In the other colonic. Tim British In Houth Africa have al ways been townsmen, and the Dutch have been fnrmera and cattle breedera The agricultural Industrlea are likely to remain 111 in'llaputed possession of the Dutch burghera. who dislike the occupations of town life, and prefer to remain In the country. The Dutch farmer have married In their youth and have had large families, conae jucntly the Dutch population has In creaw-d mora rapidly than the British population during the laat V) years. The British, government will have, at the end of the war, a Dutch empire In Bouth Africa, and It wil be under moral obllgattona to allow theae com munities of an alien race to order their own local administration and to direct their political progress. The line of racial cleavage will be sharply defined. and the Dutch will atand together and vote aolldly whenever they are allowed to air their political rights? It may be a decade before a Dutch government can be aurplanted In Cape Colony, and nothing short of the discovery of o fresh aerlea of gold powdered reefs bc ten the Orange and Vaal will convert the Free State Into a British commonwealth-No large manufacturing Industrlea arc likely to erlse In Souih Africa, and apart from the gold and diamond fields, agriculture and stock raiding s em -tlned t remain the chief resourcea of llf colonists, the vast majority of whom will be of Dutch descent and deeply prejudiced against mining camp adventurers and millionaire reef owners. The confederation will only serve to unite the Intereata of the Dutch In Souih Africa and to arm them with complete control oevr the local admin istration and material resourcea of the country, and the wisest British states man knows In his heart that, what- eer danger thero may be In reserve for the cmpln after the war. the union of the coloring cannot be opposed nor the subfecta of the crown deprived of the rights of self-government. MASEUr. Basutoiand. Friday, June 1 (General Brabant's Home have been the subjecta of severil small captures lit the hands of the Boers. Lieutenant Huudle, with 10 men. while searching a farmhouse In thr Flcksburg district, were captured. Two of the men were wounded. Lieutenant Lees and two men were captured while commandeering. An other patrol of the Border Horse num bering 20 men, while pursuing a small party of Boers wore surrounded and captured. Count Glelchen sent 13 men of the Provincial Horse, under Lieu tenant Bowker, with a flag of truce to Senekal to d.'m.ind the surrender of that place. The Boera captured the en tire party and. after robbing the men of all but their clothing, sent them to I'redc, whence some of them managed t. escape. Most of those who succeed ed In eluding their guards, however. were recaptured. CAPE COLONY. Sunday. June 2.- The telegraph line to Pretoria Is still open, but the town Is In great confu sion. There has been a general exodus. among those taking part in It being the foreign fighting legijn. Six spe cial trains left on Wednesday, and one of them Is reported to have been de railed. No British refugees have arrived- NEW YORK. June 4. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: So Important are the lessons taught by the Boer war that Secretary Root has given Instructions that the reports of the army officers who have been nhnrply watching the South African military operations be published in pamphlet form for the b?neflt of the service. Tactical reports from officers who participated In the campaign against Santiago and the t Derations In the Philippines will also be called to the attention of officers of the army. Officers of the army who have been following the war say that while the lesons taught cannont be regarded as especially new, the operations have substantiated these Important conclu sions: "The avoidance of frontat attacks upon an enemy's position, especially In close order formation. "The necessity of having the latest small arms and artillery. "The undeslrablllty of risking artil lery as General Buller did at Colenso. "The value of effective scouting. (Continued on Fourth Page.)

Yesterday was a genuine "democratic day," so far aa the weather was con cerned, for It rained a downpour from early morning until late at night. In the Eastern states a rainy election day Is always counted a favorable omen for the democracy and the 'old Jackson lana" walked about In the storm yes terday, chuckling to :hemselves and prophesying all sorts of good luck for their ticket, for at the last moment thpy came out and adopted the hop- seotchers, and even the independent political outcasts. In their eagerness to down the republican ticket. rhe "scratcher" wis abroad in the land with a vengeful pencil. Hardly a straight ballot was cast In anyone of the precincts. Old Stalwarts and Old Jaeksonians vied with one another in scratching candidates on their own ticket! they did not happen to like ersonally. In truth politics cut but a small fig ure In yesterday's election. Every body was trading some candidate in tha Interest of some other candidate and scratching where they could not trade. It was more of a family fight than a party contest In this city, but In the country, party lines were observed somewhat anu the complexion of the vote was diferent It is to soon after the battle to ana lyze the causes which led to the trad ing and scratching but there are good reasons for all that was done yesterday and explanations will be In order.

MULTNOMAH COUNTY'S VOTE. Republicans Win a Victory Except on the Legislative Ticket Which Is in Doubt. PORTLAND, June 4. In the state election to day the republicans elected C- E. Wolverton Justice of the supreme court, and J. W. Bailey, food and dairy commissioner by a plurality estimated between 5.000 and 7,000. M. A. Moody (rep.) is re-elected to congress from the Second district by a plurality of about 5,000. Tongue (rep.) is probably elected to congress In the first district by a plurality of 2,000. The. legislature is in doubt at this time though chances favor the republicans. In Multnomah doubt hrdl up up up upup up uprm county the legislative ticket la In doubt and at 1 a. m. the count, which la about one-third completed, shows that all four state senators on the cltlxens. ticket are probably elected. The representatives are In doubt and it will take complete returns to deter mine the result. George E. Chamber lain (dem.). for district attorney, is probably elected over R. E. Sewall (rep). The republicans elected the circuit Judges, sheriff, county clerk, clerk of the circuit court, assessor, county commissioners and coroner. For mayor of Portland the contest Is very close, and so far as counted Is as follows: Rowe (rep.) 833; Storey (Ind rep.) 836; Wells (dem.) 710. GEN. OTIS PLEASED. After Being Held Five Days In Quar antine and Vaccinated, He Goes East. SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. After five days In quarantine at Angel island, Major-General E. S. Otis, who arrived last Wednesday from Manila, was al lowed to land today. Severil cases of smallpox on beard the transport Meade were the cause of the quarantine and General Otis and all on board had to submit to vaccination. General Otis left for the East tonight LONG SESSION NEARLY CLOSED Congress Will Probably Adjourn on Wednesday Next. IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED Ooly Four Appropriates Bills Rcmila la Be Voted I'poa by tbe House-Attempt it Fillbusterla( Belug Made, But It Will Not AraiL WASHINGTON. June 4.Congrcss Is In Its laat gasp of a long session and its expiration apparently Is to be quite perfunctory. Unless something extraordinary oc curs, no further general legislation of national Importance will be enacted be fore the flnal adjournment. The senate was In suasion more than ten hours today, nearly four hours of which were spent In esecutlve session The on!y feature of the day's session wa the speech on the Philippine question by Teller (all ), of Colorado, and an effort of Pettigrew (pop.), of South Dakota, to obtain consideration of the anti-trust bill . passed by the house last Saturday. Tonight a picturesque session was held-a sort of social session at which many of the senators appeared In full dress and the galleries were thronged with a gaily attired crowd of specta tors. Grave as the advices are from China, they have not induced the state de partment to vary from the lines of ac tion It has laid down. The naval force of the United States near Peking rep resented :y one vessel, the Newark, has not been strengthened, but if the occasion should arise Admiral Kempff might be reinforced to almost any extent, likely to be ne;dod In the course of three or four days, from the num erous American deet still at Manila and In that vicinity. The minority report of the committee which Investigated the Coeur d'Alene riots says: "At one time or another there were over 1.100 men In prison at Wardnjr, Known as the 'bull pen.' They were kept there many months. They were not tried. They were not charged with any crime; they were held and guard ed by the United States troops. It was the duty of General Merrlam and of the president of the United States to Inquire Into the causes and reasons for the detention of so many American citizens. No such Inquiry was ever made. Such Indifference Is hard to un derstand and harder to excuse. ( "The plea that General Merrlam was acting at the request of the governor of Idaho, and his state reprsentatlve, Bartlett Sinclair, is not good. Neither the governor nor Sinclair had the right to violate the law." The majority report was also com pleted today and submitted to the minority members but it will not be made public until approved by the housj military committee which con ducted the Investigation. The house today agreed to the sen ate amendment to the sundry civil bill, appropriating $5,000,000 for the Louisia na Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. Only four appropriation bills remain In dispute between the two houses. Tawney (rep.), of Minnesota, Is making an effort to delay the final adjourn ment unless action is had on the Grout bill, but he met with no success today. Everything, so far as the house Is concerned, indicates a final adjourn ment Wednesday. BOXERS' BLOODY BUTCHERY. Presence of Foreign Troops Have No Effect Upon The P.tb-jis The Powers Will Interfere. TIEN TSIN. June 4. Traffic between Tien Tsin and Peking has been sus pended. It is reported that Pao Tin Fu was attacked last night. Mr. Rob inson of the North China mission (not Mr. Stevenson of the Church of Eng land mission at Ying Me, as cabled last night) is missing and five native Christian s have been murdered at Yang Chlng. Mr. Norman of the same mission has been captured at Wa Chia Ying, two miles from Yang Chlng, and Is In great danger. The British cruiser Endymon and torpedo boat Hart have arrived at Taku. PROMINENT WOMAN DEAD. CHICAGO, June 4.-Mrs. Alsolna Ste vens, one of the best known women sociologists in Chkago, died suddenly yesterday at Hull house. Mrs Ste vens had a close relation to public affairs of the city, She was .appointed factory Inspector by Governor Altrid in ls'1. She 'm a d!ent t0 v; r tlonal convention of the populist party In Omaha in 1892. She also served on the woman's auxiliary committee at the world's fair labor congress.s
