DIG CUT IN PRICES TO CLOSE OUT THE STOCEi Headquarter for Pry Goods ARE ANGRY AT OLD 00M PAUL (Continued from First Pace.) "The presence of ample cavalry and artillery." Brigadier-General A. W. Greely. chief signal officer, made this statement re frarJin conclusions he had drawn as a result of the war: "The South African war will do more to preserve peace during the next 20 years than the Hague conference or anything of that character. The tre mendous efficiency of modern arms of precision, using smokless powder on ground specially suited for defense, has been made apparent by this war that every military student has learned the almost impossibility of capturing any difiicult position, especially by a frontal atttack. "Although the Individual Boer Is a man of great bravery, resourcefulness and possessing soldierly qualities ge erally, yet it is to be remarked that the Transvaal army has not captured a single position during the entire war. On the other hand the British army has found it almost impossible to cap ture any position, but has won its way by outranking the Boer positions and rendering retreat Imperative." The British empire now has 235,000 soldiers In South Africa and, according to Captain Relchman, the Transvaal force has not at any time averaged more than 23,000 men. As showing the inslginflcance in numbers of the Boer troops and the failure of the British to properly scout, Captain Relchman, In one of his reports, states that he was with a mere handful of Transvaalers occupying a position when a strong detachment of the British advanced against it. The Boers opened fire and the British after weakly returning it, awaited further reinforcements, evidently being de ceived as to the strength of their ene my. 4 A report received at the war depart ment, dated in April, shows that the British then had a total of 53,046 horses and 161 machine guns, and 435 guns of all calibre. When Buller's troops were advancing to the rescue of Lady smith, the Boers, supplied with one pounder Maxims, greatly demoralized the British. When General Buller's force obtained Maxims and opened fire on the Boers, the whole Boer line, which had been silent except for a few sniping shots, opened fire, show ing, according to department officials that, like the British, they were de moralized by the fire of the guns dis charging several hundred projectiles per minute. The Boers, in anticipation of the war, were supplied with the latest Mausers, of German manufacture and the latest Krupp and Creusot artillery. The lat ter Is mostly made up of siege guns which, however, are capable of being promptly transported and placed in po sition at points which it is desired to defend. These guns have a range of six thousand yards, while -Gee.nral White's forces had weapons, with the exception of the naval brigades, with a rang of only four thousand yards. The value of this additional range was especially demonstrated, and one of the results of the war is the prac tical rearmament of the British bat teries. The operations, according to army officers, emphasized above every mm As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow. Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation ; others from within", as when waste products accumulate in the system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by B certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. livery blood disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Many mistake the .sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOO REMEDIES! the poison must be completely and perma nently eradicated the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood. or any similar blood trouble, write them fully for advice about your case.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. Dave Hill Arrives and Is Called Upon by Barker. NEW YORK, June 4. The demo cratic state committee will meet In the Hoffman house at 8 o'clock to night to agree upon the program for the state convention, which will as sembls in the Academy of Music to morrow morning to choose delegates to Kansas City. Former Senator D. B. Hill, on his arrival from Albany went to the Hoffman house, where Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, who was nom nated rejently for president by the middle-of-the-road populists in their convention in Cincinnati, sought him out. Mr. Barker sent up his card to Mr. Hill and was received. When asked what his business was with Mr. Hill, be seem ?d embarrassed and re plied: "I Would rather that no mention be made of my visit." Mr. Hill, it is expected, will be chair man of the committee on resolutions. It seemid :o be conceded last night that the convention would Instruct the national delegates for Bryan. Mr. Hill's resolutions are said to dispose of the rroney issue by advocating bi metalism at a ratio that will not dis turb the parity of all forms of money. John Norton will be temporary chair man of the convention and Elliott Danforth will be permanent chairman. Augustus Van Wyck, it Is understood, will be Brooklyn's delsgate at large, j with Crker, Hill and Murphy. ANOTHER DEATH FROM PLAGUE. San Francisco No Longer Tries to Con ceal the Presence of the Dread Disease in That City. SAN FRANCISCO. June 4.-Health Officer O'Brien and Bacteriologist Kel logg have reported that the case of a Chinese, whj died on Saturday after one day's illns, was undoubtedly one of bubonic plague. At the time of the autopsy the body was already beginning to turn black. Certain glands had been removed from the body, it is said, by physicians en gaged by the Chinese. The health offi cer has been instructed to quarantine the persons and laboratories of these doctors. Temporary quarters will be estab lished on Angel island, sufficiently large to accommodate SOOO Chinese. The passage of street cars through Chinatown Is to be stopped, and all permits to pass through the quarantine lines are to be revoked.

Returned MUMonary Say They Are Religious Fanatlca and Will Bo Hard to Suppress. CHICAGO. June 4. Rev. Dr. D, Z. Sheffield, president of the North China College of the American Board of For eign Missions, who has own selected by the First Congregational church to to be Its paid missionary in foreign lands, gave a lecture at the church last night. He has been In China thirty years. Speaking of the present situa tion In that country, he said: "I have the gravest apprehension of danger to the mission stations In Northern China. The Boxers are not upheld openly by the government, but secretly. "The Boxers are also known as the 'Society of he Groat Knife.' They are band-M together for the preservation of conservatism. They are religious j fanatics, claiming that spirits urge j them on, and that they are Immuned ' from death or Injury as long as they remain loyal to the silent voices. At j first they attack.nl the native churches belonging to the Roman Catholic Mis sions, but soon began to wage war on the Protestant churches and ml.xlons as well. "They have destroyed TOO houses be longing to the Roman Catholics and SOt) belonging to the Protestant denomi nations. They are adding to their ! numbers and it will take the most strenuous efforts on the part of the Chinese government to suppress them. "I am glad that the marine were landed, but they will find their time oc cupied in protecting the cities alone. Foreign intervention will result In the overthrow of the present government." TIEN TSIN. Sunday. June J. Two more of the party of foreigners who fled from Pao Ting Fu have arrived here. One of them was badly Injured. The relief expedition has returned. There has been no news from the body of mounted Cossacks who started In search of the refugees and fears for their safety were entertained, but the Cossacks returned this evening. They report that they had a fight with the Boxers at Tuli. killing fifteen and wounding many. Lieutenant Blueskey, Dr. Hamilton, a trooper and a civilian were wounded. It Is reported from Pao. Ting Fu that eight Americans and three mem bers of the China Inland Mission are missing. The missionaries are in great danger. No further news has been received regarding the missing refugees. LONDON MONEY MARKET. Loan Rates Continue Low and Dis counts Are Forced to Follow. NEW YORK. June 4.-The Times' London financial cablegram says: The ebb tide in the British money market looks as though It may not yet be quite at Its ebb. Throughout the week Just passed a quiet struggle went on between those who held bills and those who held money, as to whether the discount rate should be main tained at above 2' per cent or go be low It. Thus far money wins. ' Occasionally 2 9-18 per cent has been quoted, but the rate has been 2 per cent as a minimum for bills up to thrte months. But short loans con tinue cheap. Seven day advances have not risen above two per cent at any time. Should money keep thus cheap, dis count rates will sink further and will not be pulled up again until foreign exchanges relapse to points threaten ing to our stock of gold. The stock markets last week were all "Kaffirs." Whitsuntide has Interrupt ed the speculation, but If no bad news comes meanwhile from South Africa, an enormous development of active gambling may be looked for, not only In these mining and land shares, but elsewhere.
