L.EADER OF ZIONISM. Theodore Herzl, leader of the great Zion movement, who may come to the United Sates to collect money for the establishmment of a Jewish republic in Palestine, has devoted Ms whole life to this labor, and is now on the way to beholding its final success. Dr. Herd's personality is powerfully magnetic, and how well he has used it in his work may be gathered from the fact that the Zionist company now DR. THEODORE HERZL. lacks but $5,000,000 to secure its char­ ter and begin its actual operation in the historic land of the- prophets and the Savior. His zeal carries all before it. He is, as a clever writer in London described him, a Moses with modern ideas. His purpose Is to secure from the sultan the privilege of slowly ac­ quiring the Holy Land by purchase, and by then parceling out the country In forms on long time payments. ||i the House of Commons at Lon­ don Monday Mr. Brodrick', the war see- -retary, in reply to questions, said there were 40,229 persons in the "concen­ tration camps" of the Transvaal and Orange River colony. The deaths in jthese camps for the month of May numbered ninety-eight men and wom­ en and 318 children, The announce­ ment of the mortality was received with groans from the Irish members, and cries of "Scandalous!" Brodrick added that the authorities were ar­ ranging for the release of the women and children who had friends to re­ ceive them, but the government could not. undertake to feed them in isolated positions. The division in the House of Commons on the motion of Lloyd- George (Welsh Nationalist) to adjourn the house on the question of the treat­ ment of Boer women and children, Which was rejected by a vote of 258 to 134, served to accentuate the split in the Liberal party on the government's War policy. Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman, the Liberal leader, supported iLloyd-George in denouncing the policy Of concentrating women and children In camps, and with Sir William Ver­ sion Harcourt (Liberal), and the Rt. Hon. William Bryce (Liberal), voted In the minority on the Lloyd-George's tnotion. About fifty Liberal Imperial­ ists, led by the Rt. Hon. H. H. As- quith (Advanced Liberal), and Sir Ed- Ward Grey (Liberal), abstained from voting as a protest against the Ban- nerman-Harcourt-Morley section of the House of Commons, identifying i themselves so closely with the extreme pro-Boers. The Daily News and Chron­ icle, respectively the organs of the pro- Doer and Imperialist sections, display the greatest irritation' at this open ] split in the Liberal party. Lord Kit­ chener, in a dispatch from Bloemfon- tein, sends the following report of Boer casualties since his last weekly telegram, exclusive of the killed and wounded accounted for in the fight with De Wet, mentioned in his dis­ patch of last Saturday: Killed, 24; wounded, 14; prisoners, 26; surren­ dered, 165; rifles captured, 137; small- arm ammunition, 8,200 rounds; wag­ ons, 198;-horses, 1.500; cattle, 8,000.

Oolonel Turchln was in Illinois when Oasts AU Women Lawyers. Women cannot practice law in Ten­ nessee. The supreme court at Mem­ phis said so Thursday. Miss Marion Griffin of Memphis was denied a li­ cense by the supreme court on the ground that a lawyer practicing law is an officer of the court and the state constitution prohibits women from holding office. Judges Wilkes and Caldwell delivered dissenting opinions. There are a score of women lawyen in Tennessee who had been patiently awaiting the decision. f la Bt Lotls Fire in the establishment of the 3. B» Sickles Saddlery company, jat the southwest corner of Twenty-first .street and Washington avenue, St Louis, de­ stroyed property and stock valued at almost $200,000. The loss is partially covered by insurance. The losing firms are the J. B. Sickles Saddlery company, the T. F. Reynolds Carriage company, and several other concerns of minor importance. During the fire several firemen were injured, but not seriously. Bane* Ji( mi Coffln. Tom Burns, notorious as a gun wn, has met his fate near Tucson, Ariz. Burns was working with a cowboy named Wallace on the ranch of Tom Willis, and had abused him several times and threatened to kill him. Wal­ lace finally turned on his persecutor and shot him dead. Burns was buried with his boots on and the cowboys danced upon the box coffin that con­ tained the body. "We'll dance into h--1," they shouted. Captain King I* Sentenced. In the United States court at Mobile, Ala., Capt. Cyril W. King, former construction quartermaster at Fort Morgan, Ala., was sentenced to impris­ onment in the penitentiary for one year and a half and to pay a fine of $3,000. He gave notice of appeal, and made the required bond of $10,000. King was convicted several weeks ago of receiving a bribe with intent to ..In­ fluence his official conduct . '<n <: t»< Ho Liquor Given The secretary of war directs the pub­ lication of the following order for tile information of the army: "No malt, vinous or spirituous liquors will be purchased by the subsistence depart­ ment for. any purpose. Supplies there­ of needed in medical or hospital prac­ tice for use in the diet of soldiers too sick to use the army ration will be provided by the medical department." JOHN the clarion of Lincoln's call roused the North to arms. The Russian sol­ dier offered his sword to his adopted country and was appointed colonel of the Nineteenth Illinois Volunteers. His Russian methods, crossed with Ameri­ can patriotism, soon made that regi­ ment a shining light of discipline and efficiency. He was called to the aid of General Buell, gave that commander most valuable strategical advice at Corinth, organized a battery in Chi­ cago, was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and In other ways distinguished ~ himself highly In the service. Three Union Miners Rhofc Three union miners were shut down while attempting to force an entrance into the Maritime mines at Mattewan, W. Va. Several hundred union miners, who were on strike, marched in a body against the mines of this place, where nonunion men were at work. The op­ erators, with twenty armed guards be­ hind them, blocked the entrance. The nonunion miners were headed by Su­ perintendent Lambert, and when the prvlously warned union men persised in their attempt he gave the command to fire. Fully fifty shots were fired. Boyd Martin and Riley Johnson were fatally shot and Sam Artirch was dan­ gerously wounded. The strikers re­ treated, panic-stricken, and the wound­ ed men were removed to a shop near­ by and physicians summoned. . Mad Mullah Bepnlsed. . ~C The foreign office at London ceived the following reports as to the progress of the British expedition which is co-Operating with Menelek of Abyssinia against the Mad Mullah. Colonel Swayne with the main body advanced on June 2 against the Mul­ lah's camp at Yahel and nothing has been heard from him since. He left Captain MacNelll with a guard of 300 men at Zariba, Somali. The Mullah's cavalry and infantry attacked Zariba three times, but were repulsed. On the last occasion they lost nearly 500 men, 141 of whom were left dead on the field. The British casualties were ten native levies killed and nine wounded. Dvefete Lyaehlng la a Base Waiw Shortly before 1 o'clock Wednesday morning two negroes, "Prophet" Smith and F. D. McLaud, were lynched near Shreveport. "Prophet" Smith was re­ sponsible for the race feeling that led to the killing a week ago of John Gray Foster, brother-in-law of Governor Mc- Mlllln of Tennessee.

"The recent uprising in China ;has been a great lesson to tht Chinese?' said Sir Claude MacDonald, the former British Minister to China at Chicago Friday, "and if taken advantage of in the proper spirit by them, as well as the powers, it will prove a great stride toward civilization. The coun­ try is immensely rich in mineral products, but is undeveloped." Fro-Boer Meeting la London. • meeting was held in Queen's hall, London, to protest against the alleged horrors of the women and children's refuge camp in South Africa. Henry Labouchere presided.

Thomas G. Barker is on trial in the Hudson county court, Jersey City, be­ fore Judge Blair, charged with assault with intent to kill. On Feb. 3 last Barker shot 'Rev. John Keller of Ar­ lington, N. J., vicar of Trinity chapel in that place. Barker told the author­ ities he shot the minister because his wife had told him that Keller had in­ sulted her. Mr. Keller denounced the whole story as utterly false. He de­ clared that his whole life was a refuta­ tion of the charge. Goe* Oat" Hell Get*. With hundreds of jSckies lined up on both sides of the deck, and bunting flying in the breeze the last hawser was thrown off from the battleship Massachusetts at the navy yard. New York, and it swung majestically into the channel, starting on what Admiral Barker unhesitatingly proclaimed to be a foolhardy and perilous voyage"-- the passage of Hell gate. It ppassed tiie dangerous point in the channel, but not without trouble |t&d narrowly averting an accident | embalmed and taken to his homo in Detroit Hazen S. Pingree's rise politically was meteoric. For twelve years as Mayor of Detroit and Governor of Michlgan-rrat one time holding both offices--he was a center of public in­ terest, at first by reason of the theo­ ries he attempted to work out in State and municipal government later be­ cause of his eccentric outburst and his wars with the Legislature and Su­ preme bench of the State. As Mayor Of Detroit Mr. Pingree advocated the lighting of the city with its own plant at a saving of $76,000 annually, the laying of electric wires underground, the removal of wooden pavements and flie substitution of brick or asphalt and the equalization of taxes. He compelled the street car companies to fulfill their contracts and forced them to sell tickets at 8 cents; reduced tel­ ephone rates from $50 bo $25 and gas to $1 per thousand. His potato patch scheme was a side issue for the pur­ pose of utilizing unoccupied land. It was ridiculed at the time, but when it was found that the poor had been fed and the commissioners having charge of the indigent were saved $30,000 in one year the opinion of the scoffers changed. Mr. Pingree was mustered out of military service on Aug. 16, 1865, and shortly after his discharge went to Detroit. There for a short dime he was employed in the bpot and shoe factory Of H. P; Baldwin & Co. Deciding to embark in business for himself, in December, 1866, with C. H. Smith, he purchased a small boot and shoe factory/ the entire capital repre­ sented by the firm of Pingree &. Smith being $1,360. ^he first year they em­ ployed eight persons, and the value of their output was $20,000. The com­ pany now employs over 100 persons, the value of the annual product being $1,000,000. From the beginning of this enterprise Mr. Pingree had general supervision over the complicated de­ tails of the entire establishment. Mr. Smith retired from the firm in 1883, but the firm name, Pingree & Smith, was retained. In 1872 Mr. Pingree mar­ ried Frances A. Gilbert of Mount Clemens, Mich. They had three chil- two daughters and a son. Man Hnat in T< Another Mexican has been killed In the big man hunt now in progress in southwestern Texas. Captain Brooks' company of State Rangers overtook four members of the Cortez-Gonsales gang, all riding stolen horses.

As a result of the man hunt so far two Mexicans have been shot to death, one hanged, and two wounded. Five hun­ dred men are still scouring the coun­ try for Cortez and Gonzales, the lead­ ers of the outlaws, who are supposed to be guilty of the assassination of Sheriff Morrison of Karnes county and Sheriff Glover and Constal^-Mypbg of Gonzales county. . >yi*- \ ̂ Heavy Fire Loes at Woaisi' ;; ome has suffered ftrom a costly'Ire which started May 28 in a building at the corner of Stedman avenue and First street and soon leaped across to the old court building. .Later the Washington Trading company's build­ ing and the Smilie-Campbell building caught.
