UNFORTUNATE LONDONERS.
About to Be Deprived of Every Means
of Sending Messages on Sunday,
NEW YORK, Au. II. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don wiys:
The Marquis of Londonderry, the new
noRtmaster-ireneral. has brouftht down
a veritable hornet's nest about the ears
of the government by the announce
ment of hlg determination to suppress
the district messenger service here In
the metropolis. In Liverpool, Manchest
er. I.eeds and other big cities and
towns.
The reason Klven by the marquis for
this extraordinary move is that district
messenger companies are encroach
ing upon the prer.tallves of the state,
which claims the monopoly of the con
veyance of messages by letter and by I
wire.
In no civilized country is the postal
and lelecraph service more abominable
thftn In EnrUnd. Neither telesraph
nor postoffloe Is open on Sunday. Six
years oko clstrict messenger cortipan-
les en American lines were formed In
London and in leadlnu provincial citl1,
the subscribers were provided with cad
boxes and as the messenjrer offices re
mained open on Sunday and all nlsht
and insured a rapid and sure delivery
of letters, the service has rradually
become Indispensable to the public.
The messengers have become espec-
ally indispensable since the nomina
tion of Lord Londonderry to the post
masier-peneralshlp last spring. Ap
pointed in order to stop his attacks
upon the government. Lord Londonder
ry slenallzed his assumption of the
office by proclaiming that he knew
nothlnsr abmt postal matters.
To the abuse lavished upon him In
connection therewith, the Marquis has
now responded by announcing his in
tention of suppressing; the district mes
senger service. The latter employs
here In London alone several thousand
well-trained lads, who will be thrown
out cf employment, while the five mil
lion inhabitants of the metropolis will
be deprived of their only means of
communication on Sunday.
It is probable that the Dost office will
compensate the messenger companies
for their plant on the same basis as
the telephone companies, whose ser
vice It is takinr over. But that does
not help the public, which. Irrespective
of political party, is unsparing- In vir
ulent abuse.
ROBERTS WANTS MORE TROOPS.
Is Adopting More Drastic Measures
With the Burehers.
NEW YORK. Aug-. 21. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Lord Roberts' proclamation In regard
to the Transvaal burghers who take the
oath of neutrality in the future has
beer, received with approval here. It
Is an undoubted fact that Lord Rob
erts' policy of so-called leniency hag
been unpopular in Great Britain for
some time past.and public opinion has
been urging that more severe measures
should be taken.
The effect of the commander-in-chiefs
proclamation will be that all
those burghers who have not taken the
oath of allegiance to the queen may be
treated as prisoners of war and re
moved from the country. It Is un
doubtedly unprecedented to regard a
civilian population of an Invaded ter
ritory when unarmed as If they were
the enemy's troops, but it is maintained
In fart that the Transvaal burghers
are all actual or potential combatants,
and it is Impossible to make distinctions
between those in the field and those on
th firms.
The farmers, therefore, must choose.
They must either loyally b'come British
subjects or else they must be deemed
to have thrown In their lot with the
queen's enemies. If they take the oath
and violate It. Lcrd Roberts threatens
them with Imprisonment or death, and
the farms and buildings of all persons
aiding and abetting the Boer forcts will
be confiscated or destroyed.
Even the opposition journals, which
dislike the war. do not for the most
part object to these drastic measures,
pointing out that ;n the interests of the
Roers themselves, as well as the Brit
ish, it is necessary that the campaign
should be brought to a conclusion, and
the burghers taught the futility at re
sistance. It is admitted, however, that
the adoption of this policy must inten
sify the savage and bitter character
which the struggle has now assumed,
and that the immediate effect is likely
to be a considerable accession to the
numbers of De Wet and other com
manders In the field.
Orders have been sent to Aldershot
for fresh drafts of reinforcements to be
prepared for South Africa, go that it
doesn't look as if the hope of the min
istry that a large proportion of Gen
eral Roberts' army may be brought
back In September is at all likely to
be fulfilled.
SALMON PRICES SATISFACTORY.
New York Buyers Are Pleased With
the Announcement of the Alaska

exceptions, buyers In this market re
gard the opening price named on the
1!00 tack of Alaska salmon by the
Alaska Packers' Association as being
extremely satisfactory. As a' result It
Is statd that all orders placed sub
ject to opening prices were confirmed
and in many Instances buyers are said
to have Increased their purchases very
larrely.
The consensus of opinion Is that. In
view of the exceedingly strong position
of salmon bv reason of the estimated
shortage of between 500.000 and 700.000
cases for the entire pack of the coast,
the prlcts named, $1.10 and I1.17H. are
very favorable to buyers, and will en
able them to sell at a profit, figuring
the cost laid down on the basis of all
rail rates at $1 4- The figures given
refer to all water rate, the cheapest
freight obtainable from the coast.
In an Interview a leading operator
said: .
There can be no doubt that the
P'lees named are low. considering the
strong situation salmon is in. and all
reports at hand Indicate that buyers
have confirmed what orders were
placed. I understand also that consid
erable business has been done among
country buyers, particularly in the
East. It Is impossible to form any es
timate as to the quantity that has been
sold, but If the prosrvots are anything
like correct, the association must have
placed a very Inrire share of Its total
pack. Buvrs In this market have
rrobably byn th smallest piirch-rs.
since a number of large buyers placed
orders for a lane e hare of their prob
able retirements with outsld; pack
ers some time tmo.
"The opinion among a larg? majority
of the buvers is that the prices are low.
As a matter f fact, the values are
only ten cents per dozen hishrr than
last year, wheru on other dr scrip
llons outsld? -f Alaska the difference
between this year and last Is consid
erably greater. It Is Intimated that the
association will advance the price on
all stock unsold within a few days, but
whether this is merely an Inducement
for buyers to get in early or net re
mains to be seen. If It does this will
be practically a guarantee against cut
ting prices and will insure the buyers a
reasonable profit.
"What effect the additional cost of
red Alaska salmon will have upon the
consumption is something entirely
problematical. The middle and poorer
classes are the great customers of can
ned salmon, and to them each ad
ditional charge Is a burden and results
In a decreased use of the article."

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-For saving
