lor China-Lord Robert la
ScrioMly IIL
LONDON. July 11 Lord Roberta
dispatch reporting still another unfor
tunate occurrence, throws a serious
light upon the state of affairs In South
Africa. There has been some com
ment recently regarding" the virtual ab
sence of progress by the Immense army
under the command of Lord Roberta,
but few could have been found to be
lieve that the scattered Boera were able
to Inflict t.uch a defeat so near Pre
toria. Instead of the surrender of all the
remaining Bo?rs being Imminent, as re
cent . telegrams had hinted, it sesma
they have been making a concerted
jit ten.pt to surround or recapture Pre
toria, with so much success that In
the region which was supposed to be
pacified, and in which no attack was
expected, they succeeded in inflicting
a serious defeat and capturing two
guns and some 200 men.
It is evident that General Botha has
a considerable force, seeing that he
is Able to pr&a Lord Roberta' lines at
half a diaen points around Pretoria.
Lord Roberta omits to give the name
of the commander concerned, giving
rise to a belief that the worst remains
to be told. i
Even if the mUhap be not more grave
than his information at present Im
plies, it proves that the situation is
still serious and that there Is nc pos
sibility of any troops being spared from
South Africa for China, but on the con
trary it will still take a long time to
clear the country of the Boers.
News has reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from aer
icus bowel complaint, and that Lady
Roberts was hurriedly summoned to
Moemfontein.
LONDON, July 12. Lord Roberts re
ports to the war office, under date of
Pretoria, July 12, as follows:
"The enemy, having failed In their
atatck upon our right rear, as mention,
cd in my telegram of July 9, made a
determined attack upon our right yes
terday, and, I regret to say, succeed
ed in capturing Nltral's Nek, which
was garrisoned by a squadron of Scots
guards with two guns of the battery
of the Royal artillery and five com
panies of the Lincolnshire regiment.
"The enemy attacked in superior
numbers at dawn, and seizing hills
commanding the Nek. brought a heavy
gun -fire to bear upon the small gar
rison. I i
"Nitral's Nek is about 18 miles' from
here, near where the road crosses the
Crocodile river. It was held by us in
order to maintain road and telegraphic
communication with Rustenberg.
"The fighting 'asted, more or less,
throughout the day, and immediately
on receiving information this evening
of the enemy's strength, I deupatched
reinforcements from here under Col
onel Godfrey of the King's Scotch bor
derers. . 1
"Before, however, they reached the
spot, the garrison had been overpow
ered, the guns and a greater portion
of the squadron of Grays had been
captured, owing to the horses being
shot: al about 90 Tien of the Lincoln
reslment. A
"The list of casualties has not been
received, but I think they are heavy.
"Simultaneously an attack was made
on our outposts near Hurdepoort, north
of town. In whijh the Seventh Dra
goons were engaged. The regiment
was handled with considerable skill by
Lifutenant-Colonel Low and kept the
en-vmy in check until they retired on
their supports and would probably have
suffered but a slight loss had not our
troops mistaken some Boers In the
bushes for our own men.

EATEN BT CANNIBALS.
Bushmen Roasted and Eaten by Kana
kas in New Britain.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 12.-Bushmen
from Cape Oxford, according to a letter
received by the Miowera from Sydney,
were killed and eaten by cannibals on
the coast of New Britain. The German
government is taking steps to punish
the cannibals.
The natives who were made victims
had been trading and when they got
to the landing, the canoes they were
in were fired and at once sank. Many
were killed and their bodies carried
a.hore. But the most horrifying part
was when several men were captured
alive and dragged to the actual scene
of the feast their bodies were to pro
vide. They were clubbed and after
wards roasted or baked and eaten.
This tribe of native ghouls is one of
the most notorious in the Islands for
man-eating. They are not head hun
ters' In the Solomon Islands sense of
the term, but bloodthirsty Kanakas,
who kill for food wlely. The victims
were not all killed at once, some of
them witnessing the killing of their
comrades and the first part of the can
nibal feasts.

SENATOR LODGE
NOTIFIES M'KINLEY
(Continued from First Pag)
always, determined that the American
cltlaen ahull be protected at any coat
in all his rights, everywhere and at
11 timet.
"Events moving with terrible rapidity
have been swift witnesses to the wis
dom of your action In the East. The
Philadelphia convention has adopted
your policy both In the Antilles and
the Philippines, and has made it their
own and that of the Republican party.
' "Your election, sir, next November,
azures to us the continuance of that
policy abroad and In our new posses
sionsTo entrust these difficult and vi
tal questions to other hands, at once
Incompetent and hostile, would be dis
astrous. "Tour defeat would be the signal for
the advance of free trade, for the an
archy of a debased and unstable cur
rency, more business panic and deprv
alon and hard times, and for the wreck
of our foreign policy.
"Your election and the triumph of
the Republican party which we believe
to be as sure as the coming of the day
will make certain the steady protec
tion of our Industries, sound money and
a vigorous and intelligent foreign poli
cy. They will continue those condi
tions of good government, and wise
legislation so essential to the prosperity
and well-being which have blessed our
country in much abundance during the
pst four years.
"Thus announcing to you, sir, your
nomination as the Republican candidate
for the presidency, we have the honor
also to submit to, you the declaration
of principles made by the national con
vention which, we truat. will receive
your approval. We can assure you of!
the faithful and earnest support of the
Republican party In every state, and we
beg you to believe that we discharge
here today w ith feelings of deepest per
sonal gratification this honorable duty
imposed upon us by the convention."
The senator's remarks were frequent
ly Interrupted with applause. When
Senator Lodge closed. President Mc
Kinley mounted the stand, the vast
concourse of people cheering heartily.
It was some moments before the presi
dent could proceed. He had a manu
script In his hand, but he referred to
It only at long Intervals.
He said In part:
"Senator Lodge and Gentlemen of the
Committee:
"This message which you bring to
me Is one of signal honor. It la also
a summons to duty. A single nomina
tion for the office of president by a
great party which. In 32 years out of
40, has been triumphant at national
elections. Is a distinction which I
gratefully cherish. To receive unan
imous renomtnatlon by that same party
Is an expression of regard and a pledge
of continued confidence for which it
is difficult to make adequate acknowl
edgement. "If my countrymen shall confirm
the action of the convention, at our
national election in November, I shall,
craving divine guidance, undertake
the trust to administer It for the In
terest and honor of the country and the
well-being of the new peoples who
have become the objects of our care. ,
The declaration of principles adopted
by the convention has my hearty ap
proval. At some future date I will con
sider Its subjects in detail and will by
letter communicate to your chairman
a more formal acceptance of the nom
ination. "On a like occasion four years ago,
I said:
" 'The party that supplied by legisla
tion the vast revenues for the conduct
of our greatest war; that promptly
restored the credit of the country at
Its close; that from its abundant rev
eunes paid of a large share of the
debt incurred by this war, and that
returned specie payments and placed
our paper currency upon a round and
enduring basis, can be safely trusted to
preserve both ur credit and curren
cy, with honor, btabllity and Inviola
bility.' "Three and one-half years of legis
lation and administration have been
concluded since these words were spo
ken. Have those to whom was
confined the direction of the govern
ment kept their pledges? The record
is made up. The people are not un
familiar with what has been accom
plished. The gold standard has been
reaffirmed and strengthened. The end
less chain has been broken and the
drain upon our gold reserve no longer
frets us.
"We are refunding our bonded debt
bearing three and four and five per cent
interest at two per cent Interest, a
lower rate than that of any other coun
try, and already more than three hun
dred millions have been so funded with
a gain to the government of many
millions of dollars. Legislation has
been enacted which, wHUe utilizing all
forms of money, secures one fixed val
ue for every dollar, and that the best
known to the civilized world.
"A tariff which protects American
labor snd Industry and provides ample
revenues has been written in public law.
We have lower interest and higher
wfli?r-s, more money and fewer mort
gages. We have prosperity at home
and prestige abroad.
"Unfortunately the threat of 1896 has
Just been renewed by the allied parties
without abatement or modification.
The gold bill has been denounced and
Its repeal demanded. The menace of
! to 1, th.-refore, still hangs over
us with all Its dire consequences 'to
credit and confidence, to business and
Industry. The enemies of round mon
ey currency are rallying their scat-
tered forces. Th people must once
more unit and owreom the advo
cates of repudiation, and must not re
lax their energy until the battle for
public honor and nonest money shall
again triumph.
"Not satisfied with assaulting the
currency and credit of the government,
our political adversaries condemn the
tariff law enacted at the extra ses
sion of congresa In 1S97, known aa the
Dlngtey act, passed In obedience to
the will of the people expressed at
thft election In November, a law which
at once stimulated our Induatrlea, op
ened the Idle factories and tulnea and
gave to the laborer and to the fnrrner
their return for their toil and Invest
ment, Shall we go back to a tariff
which brings deficiency In our reve
nues and destructlxi to our Industrial
enterprises?
"Our platform of ISW declared,
"the Hawaiian Islands should be con
trolled by the United Slates, and no
foreign power should be permitted to
Interfere with them." This purpose
has been fully acompllshed by annex
ation, and delegates from these beauti
ful Isles participated In the convention
for which you speak today.
"A Just war haa been waged for
humanity, and with It have come new
problems and responsibilities. Spain
has been ejected from the Western
hemisphere and our Mag floats over
her former territory. Cuba haa been
liberated and our guarantees to her
people will be aacredly executed.
"A beneficial government has been
provided for Porto Rico.
"The Philippines are ours, and Amer
linn authority must be supreme there
throughout the archipelago. There will
be amnesty um! liberty, but no abate
ment of our rights, no abandonment
of our duty. There must be no ecut
tle policy. We will fulfill In the Phil
Ipplnea the obligations Imposed by the
triumphs of our arms and by the trea-
x ot Pce; by International law
by
i the Nation's sense of honor; and more
than alt, by the rights. Interests and
conditions of the Philippine people
themselves. No outside Interference
blocks the way to peace and a atuble
government. The obstruction! ara
here, not elsewhere. They may post
pone, but they cannot defeat the real
ization of the high purpose of thla Na
tion to restore order to the Islands and
to establish a Just and generous gov
ernment In which the Inhabitants shall
have the largest participation for which
they are capable.
"We re-assert that early principle of
the Republican party, sustained by un
broken Judicial precedents, that the
representatives of the people, In con
gress assembled, have full legislative
ower over territory belonging to tha
United States subject to the fundamen
tal safeguard of. liberty. Justice and
personal right a and are vested with
ample authority to act "for the hlgheat
Interests of our nation and the people
entrusted to its care."
"This doctrine, first proclaimed In
the cause of freedom, will never be
used as a weapon for oppression.
"I cannot conclude without congratu
lating my countrymen upon the strong
national sentiments which find expres- !
rion In every part of our common coun- !
try, and the Increased respect with
which the American Is greeted through
out the world.
"We have been moving In untried
paths but our steps have been guld-
J by duty. There will be no turning.
no wavering, no retreat. No blow has
been struck except for liberty and hu
manity, and none will be. We will
perform without fear every national
and international obligation. The Re
publican party waa dedicated to free
dom forty-four years ago. It has been
the party of liberty and emancipa
tion from that hour, not of profession,
but of performance. In Its solution of
great problems. In Its performance of
high duties, it has had the support of
members of all parties In the past, and
confidently Invokes their co-operation
in the future.
"Permit me to express, Mr. Chairman,
my most sincere appreciation of the
complimentary terms In which you have
conveyed the official notice of my
nomination, and my thanks to the mem
bers of the committee and to the great
constituency which they represent for
this additional evidence of their favor
and support."

BUMMER. RESORTS.
"To the mountains our people in In
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days of relaxation and recreation nec
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working conlltlon. The
languorous sloth of the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change of air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation of
flagging energies as will provide brawn
and vigor for the-return to labor. For
tin' they urge tli mountain climb and
ramble: the balsata of the mountain
pines, and the clear, unadulterated
mountain air.
