Complete Distraction of Boer Army FurnHhes Larye Headlines for the Unionist Press. NEW TORK. S.pt. IS. A dispatch to the Tribune from London say: The Duke of Devonshire has replied to the challenire from Delmeny and Mes srs. Balfour and Chamberlain, the Earl of Klmberley and score of canvassers have been speaking within twenty-four hours. But Lord Rosetery's letters haw Im mm tho ihlf Immilse to the liberal canvass, while Lord Roberts has done the ! most effective work for the i momma. He has fully confirmed the earlier re- ptirts or tne occMpatHMi 01 ruinii,..i by the British army and the appear ance of the remnants of the Boer com manders in Portuguese territory after a few rifle sh ts had been fired. The irurJs' brtes.1.?. which has held the post of honor throughout the cam paign, led the way into Komatipoort. the final nbJjcMve point of Lord Rob ert's strategy. That brigade has marched In the course of the year from De Aar to XIafrrsfonteln. under Me thuen, and to Bloemfonteln. Pretoria and the Portuguese frontier, under Lord Roberts, and It nw stands (ruard over the ba.-k door of the neutral bare through which the Dutch received their ' arr-s and supplies. The war has ended with the de struction, of cuns and ammunition on the edge cf the frontier and with the disarming: of the refugees by th( Por tuguese officials. Every mile of rail way in the two Dutch states is now under British control and every Im portant town is garrisoned. Lord Rob erts has Pnished his work and ran re turn to England, after proclaiming a state of peace in which belligerents will be Hal de to summary punishment as outlaws and murderers. . . The Delapoa Bay railway, which has played an Important part in the Boer campaign, will now become an instru ment of peace. It Is nominally owned by a Holland company, but haa virtu ally been the property of the Trans vaal government. The Holland direc tors, in order to prevent the confiscation of this railway by the British military authorities, will be anxious to clear the line and put It In working order to Pre toria for supplying the army of occu pation and for the resumption of min ing operat'ens on the Rand. The Inter ests of the Portuguese traders are Iden tical with those of the directors. The neutral base, without which the Boers could not have armed themselves and kept up a. year's campaign, is con verted by the completion of Lord Rob erts' campaign into a center of nm mrcw with the victorious army and mining camps which are behind it. The Boer refugees are disarmed and even Imprisoned, and the merchants of Delagoa bay are settling down at once for a period of brisk trade with Pretoria and Johannesburg. The railway bridge at. Komatipoort has ben saved, probably through the good offices of tbe Portuguese, and raid ers whr interfere with the prompt ' re sumption of business all along the line will have no friends in Delagoa bay. The entire influence of the neutral base will now be thrown on the British side .against a prolongation of a hope, less struggle bv train wreckers and roving bands of guerillas. Incidents which now fill Lord Rob erts' dally bulletins and the meagre dispatches received by the London press are details of police work rather than acts of war. Methuen .as captured large droves of cattle and sheep. Paget has broken up the camp of Erasmus commando, and other commandoes are picking up wagons, ammunition, horses and live stock here and there and squads of famished and desperate burg hers.

Favorable as are the dispatches from Komatipoort. there are croak-fs In the military clubs who forecast a long per iod of brigandage and plunder in -the conquered territory and assert that the British commander will find the HKt stage of Dutch resistance more difficult to deal with than guerilla warfare en cumbered with its trains, wagons and uroves or came ana sneep. rnev as- sume that the thorough disarming of the Boers will require years of syste matic surveillance, since guns, rifles and ammunition have been sown like rtrao-nn fB(..h Kmr.mr fh Vnr,l. .i I nmnn nln fatn PH " " J mountain fastnesses. this kind will cease, however. .....7 i I.- r. tf.

Without Concurrence of the Northern Pacific It Can Amount to Nothing, NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-That the re cent conference here of western railroad presidents l not productive of results, o far as the restoration and nialnten. ance of rates Is concerned, la becoming quite apparent. The absence of a Northern Pacific representative from the meeting was re garded as significant, and neither the Northern Pacific, it Is said, nor the Great Northern railroad has become a party to any of the 'detailed arrange ments proposed by the conference. Those arrangement were pluced In the hands of special committees, and It Is helleed that something In the nature of trntlic pools are to be formed In the different sections of western territory. The adhesion of the Northern Pacific railroad Is considered necessary for the accomplishment of the desired result. As already stated. It has not been se cured and It Is not likely to be. President Mellen. of the Northern Pacific, said: "We have repeatedly declared that we have nothing to do with any pool and shall adhere to that policy. The .Northern taclpc does not propose to violate the law and gvt Itself Into trouble, no mutter what other rouds may do. W't maintain the regular rat nnd endeavor to get along with as little friction as possible with our neiRh- bors. Of course we are In accord with any effort to restore and maintain rates. and I have no desire to criticise the ac tion or policy of any other railroad. On the advice of counsel, however, we shall keep out of pooling arrangements and particularly 'blind' pools, which Is about what the appointment of those special committees means." President Mellen added that his com pany hal no agreement -with the Great. Northern. Another pool mentioned bv President Mellen was that all pooling arranse- mcnts made by lines acquired by the Northern Pacific railroad company were cancelled as fast as they were discov ered.
