Attention Concentrated on China and
War In South Africa.
(Copyright, 1900, The Associated Press.)
iai.nlh.. June 16. what with ex
citing news from the war that was sup
posed to be- over In South Africa, sen
Mtionnl reports In regard to the war
that Is said to be pending In China,
and alarming dispatches relative to the
rebellion against British rule In Aahan
tl, to say nothing of the gay Ascot
meeting, the death of Mrs- Gladstone
and the death of the Duke of Welling
ton, the week has been one of consid
erable Interest. Tn fact, so generally
absorbed has the nation become In. Us
own affairs that those of oth?r coun
tries fall to elicit the slightest com
ment The war, as It Is learned Gen
eral Kelly-Kenny said to General Tuck
er a few weeks ago. Is "the rummlest
I ever saw. If we, referring to the di
vision commander, do things wrong,
we are sent home In disgrace. If we
do them right Koberts gets all the
credit."
And the war is "rummler" than ever
General Kelly-Kenny had any Idea of
The spectacle presented this week of
a victorious British general. In com
mand of the greatest army this country
ever put under one man, shut oft from
all communications with the outer
world, while units of his force, of the
seven hundred men, were annihilated
by a supjosedly pacified enemy, whose
territory was annexed, stands almost
unique in military history. While Lord
Koberts Is not blamed for these disast
ers, there la strong feeilng among the
leading South Africans in London that
he or some one blundered at Pretoria.
Those who know every Inch around
the Transvaal capital say Lord Rob
erts took the most arduous side to ap
proach It, whereas, with easier means
of access, he might have gone cast
ward and shut off all possibility of
General Botha's retr?at. As it is. the
capture of Pretoria was practically an
empty triumph except for Its moral
effect. What old South African cam
paigners are asklns Is, "Why did Rob
erts not get Botha and his men and
take Pretoria afterwards, instead of
occupying a deserted town and letting
the Boers calmly walk away under the
noao of his overwhelming force?" Yet,
while this question is frequently heard
there is such general admiration for
Lord Roberts, and belief In the effi
cacy of his tactics, that even those who
ask are loath to criticise him until they
know the details.
The patent fallibilities of the generals
fighting at the front have caused end
less criticism since the war began, but
scarcely any blunder in South Africa
has drawn upon It so much condem
nation as the recent Aldershot maneu
vers, when 30,000 troops engaged In a
sham battle on the hottest day of the
year. The Inquest upon four of the en
listed men who died from heat pro3tra
tloiiH records the fact that the troops
started early in the morning without
an adequate meal, and that the forage
caps they wore were utterly insuffici
ent to protect their heads from the
sun. A more damning Indictment of
military equipment was scarcely ever
so quickly secured than by this simple
verdict of a coroner's Jury.
Besides the men who died some 400
had to go to the hospitals. The result
Is that the obnoxious forage caps. are
likely to be done away with. The death
of the third Duke of Wellington re
moves one of the shyest and least
known persons in England. Once and
only once he made an attempt to speak

In public It was on the vagrancy
question !n which he was greatly in
terested. A profusion of notes lay be
fore him where he sat in the house
of lords. He caught the Lord Chancel

notes, cleared his throat and sat down
without even uttering a syllable. He
never tried again.
A curious story Is printed regarding
the Duke of Tork. It avers In January
a bevy of four beautiful Orienta'.
maidens arrived at Tork House and an
nounced themselves as a present from
a certain dusky potentate. The Frlnc
of Wales' son did not desire to offend
the giver, yet he could scarcely accept,
so, in some way or another, the maid
ens were returned and there was no of
fense. Not only theatrical circles but the
whole of London is amused and Inter
ested tn the exciting controversy be
tween the celebrated dramatist, W. S.
Gilbert, and Jenette Steer, the Ameri
can actress. Just before the latter pro
duced two of his plays at the Comedy
Theatre last week, Mr. Gilbert retireJ
from the stage management, and tn a
letter repudiated all responsibility for
the forthcoming production. The plays,
however, were produced, and proved
most successful, but Gilbert does not
feel disposed to let the matter rest and
wrote. Miss Steer as follows:
"Madame: I further understand that
last night you materially altered the
business as arranged by me, and as it
was played under my direction by Mrs.
Kendall, Miss Anderson, Miss Leclerkand
Indeed, by every other lady who ha
played Galatea under my stage man
agement during the last 2S years,. I
must ask you to advance Estanele In
front of Cynlsca from her left, not
from her right; to throw yourself on
your knees In front of her without any
exclamation; to fall at Cynlsca's feet
and not on any account to cross Pyg
malion, or. Indeed, do any business not
arranged at rehearsal. If you do not
comply with my wishes In :hese re
spects I will apply for an injunction
to prevent your playing the piece, or
otherwise, as I may be advised."
Aside from this, theatrical matters
have been dull and the managers are
already talking of closing.

DERELICTION OF DUTY.
Lieutenant-Commander Fails to Obey
Orders.
NEW YORK, June 16.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Lieutenant-Commander J. C. Colwtll,
Just relieved as American naval attache
In London, Is under Investigation for
failure to obey orders of the navy de
partment. A court of inquiry, of which
Captain F. A. Cook and Medical Di
rector White are members, Is sitting
for this purpose In Washington navy
yard.
Lieutenant-Commander Colwell re
ceived orders to report on a certain
date In the United States, preliminary
to going to the Philippines. He failed
to report, and sent an explanation that
his condition was such, In consequence
of an operation, that It was Inadvisa
ble for hlra to travel.
It Is alleged that he subsequently
placed himself under medical treat
ment in order to Justify his explanation.
The court is expected to submit Its
findings In a few days.

MUST SHOW CERTIFICATES.
Asiatics Not Allowed to Leave Call for

SAN FRANCISCO. June 10 All the
railroad and steamship companies have
been notified by the federal authorities
at Washington that Asiatics will not
be allowed to leave California unless
provided with health certificates Issued
by the United States marine hospital
officials here. Whites will be allowed
to leave without certificates, but it Is
recommended that they provide them
selves voluntarily with certificates to
avoid possible delay.
A first order from Washington read
that whites as well as Asiatics were
required to have health certificates,
but this order was modified later, ex
emptlng Caucasians. This action has
been taken to assure people In other
states that every precaution is being
taken in California, and there is no
possible danger of a spread of the
plague If it should exist In San Fran
cisco.

health officer, McQuestin, In this city,
It was sent by the quarantine health
officer, Kinyoun, In San Francisco. A
local officer was ordered to search all
east-bound trains for passengers from
Sar, Francisco at the state line. These
were required to show certificates
signed by the United States marine
officer. In event of their failure to
produce the document, they were to be
turned backward on their Journey.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. When
seen by a representative of the Asso
elated Press today, regarding the quar

Officer Kinyoun, General Passenger
Agent Goodman, of the Southern Pacific
Company, stated that his company had

FLVRRY IN STOCK MARKET.
Chinese Situation and the Impending
Phottage In Wheat Create Ex
citement. NEW TORK. June 1.-The stock
market today abandoned the Idea of
waiting In which It has b.-en so long
steadfast, and gave itself over to ac
tive liquidation with all appearances
of a state of alarm. Two expected In
cidents were the cause of this change.
First of these was the action of the
directors of the Northern Pacific rail
road In reducing the dividend on com
mon stock. This was accepted at a
d-r-clsion that a serious shortage In the
wheat crop of the Northwest was to be
faced this year, and that a period of
declining railroad earnings was to be
expected as a result of this, and re
action In general business. The ef
fect was pronounced on stocks of grain-
carrying roads, and especially In the
Northwest. The second cause of alarm
was the situation in China.

Two Thousand Muckers Expected to
Stop Work.
VANCOUVER. B. C. June 16.-An-
other strike throughout the Kootenay
mining dlstri:t Is Imminent, and unless
all filgns fall 2,000 muckers will stop
work tonight and refuse to resume on
Monday morning. Such a strike would
again Daralyze mining operations
throughout British Columbia.
J. Frederick Robertson, of Nelson,
president of the South Kootenay Board
of Trado and managing director of the
British Columbia Gold Fields, Bays he
would not be surprised If work was
stopped In a number of the mines In a
few days, If the present difficulties were
not settled '.n negotiations now under
way.
The difficulty arises over a question
of wages and has been brewing for sev
eral months. In about three-quarters
of the mines ' the muckers, who are
the principal workers underground, are
paid S2.50 or $2.60 a day. In a fcmall
minority of the mines they get $3 a
day. It is to make the $3 rule uniform
in all the mines that the strike Is be

Rousseau hus somewhat alienated the
socialists by a declaration he made to
the effect that a workman who wants
to work is as much entitled to the pro
tection of the authorities as the work
man who dovs not want to work. This
statement was made In Justification of
the action of the authorities In giving
an escort of 20 policemen to two work
men who wished to enter a factory
where a strike was In progress., The
final action of th government In this
