Boston Lyric Opera TO-NIGHT, "BOHEMIAN GIRL" March 12th, Intending Purchasers of An)- CLOCK LINE ANSWERING TO Fi notity THE STRANGE STORIES That Arc Told Among Military Men LORD * KITCHENER'S PLANS FOR THE ENFORCING OF NEED- ED DISCIPLINE. Remount Scandal the Result Of a Private Squabble--It Is More Than Probable That War Will End Within Six Months. March 4.--A strange story is exciting much discussion among military wen, although it has been kept out of both press and parlia- ment. It relates to alleged reprisals tuken by Australian troops for Boer outrages in firing upon wounded, and Draconian measures adopted by lord Kitchener for enforcing discipline. It is stated that the Australian officers and men, who took the lex talionis into their own hands, were tried by court martial, and some of them were sentenced to be shot. The story is told with precision ana full details, but the censorship has excluded it from ordinary despatches and official explanations cannot be obtained from Pall Mall. A curious light has been thrown on the remount scandals by a high offi- cer of the government, who tells that whatever merits or demerits of case it would never have come wp had not a private squabble arisen between mem- bers of the house of commons. According to this statement, one member sent in a bid for horses, which was refused in favor of a New- market dealer. Against the latter the disappointed bidder and several rac- ing members of the house of commons had hitter grudges. A 'cabal was formed, regardless of party limes, and a determination was arrived at to make the government suffer for giv- contracts to a man who was not in favor with the aristocratic parlia- mentary racing set. These personal grievances, apparently, had long been common talk in the lobby of the house of commons, and the bait thrown to the opposition by the ais- gruntled unionists was eagerly taken up with the resulting exposition of the horse scandals. On 'the best informed opinion, the Pall Mall Gazette prophesies the end of 'all serious hostilities in South Afri- ca by September. That, it is saiq, is a pessimistic rather than an optimis- tie view. Judging from lord Kitchen: er's progress last week and the well- founded reports of Gen. Botha's per sonal inclination to surrender, the practical end of the struggle may con- siderably antedate September. ---------------- FAITH IN SUBMARINE LINES. Think They.

Ward address od those present on wireless: tele graphy. He said: "While we do not intend to belittle the credit due to Mr. Marconi for the advancement he has made in that field, we have every confidence in the ability of submarine cables to main- tain their commercial supremacy in competition with wireless telegraphy, even should it ever extend beyond its present experimzntal stage as regards trans-Atlantic or other long distance transmissions." NO WAR, IN PHILIPPINES. London, Even Respectable Guerilla Warfare Has Ceased. New York, March. 4.--Brigadier- general Funston, in this city, en route to Washington to learn ii he is to go back to the Philippines when his fur lough expires in April, had a talk with a Herald reporter and said : ""fhere is no more war in the Philip: pines than there is in Kentucky. As- sassins lurk in the cane and shoot down men who are at their mercy, but there are no soldiers in the field of battle with the United States troops. Even respectable guerilla warfare has ceased. "In my opinion, one-half of our troops might be brought home now, the end of a year one-half of remaiving might be returned." -------- _ Likely A Total Loss.

WAS BADLY BURNED. ---- 4 While Trying To Apply Coal Oil To Dull Fire. Ottawa, March 4 --While applying coal oil to a cook stove fire yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Sophia Marchand was painfully burned about "the back, arms and hands. She was removed to St. Luke's hospital for treatment. The accident happened in the small frame house, '219 Bank street. Mrs. Marchand had only taken possession yesterday and placed her new house: hold in order. Her niece, Caroline Young, a ten-year-old girl, was as sisting. She placed fuel in the stove preparatory to starting the fire and used coal oil to help on the flame. Her aunt, according to the girl's tory, added more oil, and when the match was applied the flames burst forth. The girl's skirt became irnited, and in her efforts to smother the fire, Mrs. Marchand placed herself in dan- ger. Her dress became a mass of flame and she rushed in terror to the street. Passersby = seized her and smothered the flames in the snow. She will recover. The girl's heavy clothing protected her from injury and she was able to proceed to her home nearby. A STEAMER OVERDUE. There Is Anxiety Regarding The Steamer Etruria. London, March 4.--No news has been received of the Cunard liner Etruria, which left New York, Febru- ary 22nd, up to an early hour this morning. The Lucania communicated with Browhead by wireless telegraphy when 430 miles out, but she had not found connection with the Etruria. The station at Brow Head kept con- tihually sending out messages in hopes of getting the Etruria's range, | but the expectations were not bright for to-day, in view of the failure of the Lucania whose zone of comnruniza- tion is much greater. The Cunard steamer Saxonia will take a soytherly course in order to search for the steamer Etruria, if the latter, which is now considerably over due from 'New York, is not reported before the Saxonia sails. The com- pany deprecates anxiety for the Etruria. The officials says there is no doubt of her safety, but they have sent the tug Skirmisher to search for er. " EXPELLED FROM CHURCH.

Toronto, March 4.--At the guarter ly meeting of the Broadway taber- nacle, an invitation was presented to the pastor, "Rev. Dr. Chown, to re main -in the church another 'vear. The treasurer's report of the past quarters of the church year showed an increase of $490 in receipts the same period of last year. A re quest was ordered to be sent to the Toronto conference to memoralize the general conference to provide a con tiouous definite test of membership of the church. Formerly when a person no longer attended. the classes his name was struck from the rolls, but since that has been dropped there is no telling when. a member's connec tion has been severed. ------ Ready For The Match.

The Reconciliation of Ireland On- ly Attainable With British Sympathy -- British Opinion Must First be Conciliated--Not Apostasy but Common Sense. New York, March 4.--A special cable to the Sun states that H. H. Asquith has prepared a manifesto, setting forth his reasons for withdrawing from the official liberal party and ab- andoning the policy of Irish home rule, in company with lord Rosebery. He says : "In. 1886, when I first entered par liament, home rule was the dividing line between parties and the governing issue of the general election in that vear. Looking back to the years which followed 1 may fairly claim to bave done what in me lay, both in parlia- ment and outside, for the promotion of that cause, and it will always be the honor of being associated with Mr. - Gladstone, the most illustrious liberal of the nineteenth century, in his last attempt to bring loyalty and three | over | last summer contentment to Ireland. "Why did that attempt fail? It failed {because of the rooted repugnance of a { lnrge majority of the electorate Great Britain to the creation of a { legislative body in Dublin, a repug- {nance which not even Mr. Gladstone's | magnificent, courage, unrivalled au- {thority and unquenchable enthusiasm were able to overcome. The eight { yodrs which have elapsed since have {done nothing to conciliate and not a little to harden and stiffen the ad J varey judgment of the British élector lated A great deal of loose rhetoric is {eurrent on the subject. But ii we {were honest we must ask ourselves { this practical question, 'Is it to be { part of the policy and programme of { our party if returned to power that it | will introduce into the house of com- | mons a bill for Irish home rule ?* The { nnawer in my judgment is 'No." And {why so? Because the history of these | vears has made it plain that the re conciliation of Jreland to the empire {ean only be attained by methods {which will carry, step by step, the sanction and sympathy of the British { opinion. To recognize facts like these and to act accordingly is not apos tasy. It is eommon sense." of Still Fighting Addicks. Dover, Cal., March 4.--The rumors of harmony among the republicans of Delaware have evidently. been based more upon the wishes of some of the leaders than on actual facts. As a matter of fact there appears to be no let up in the fight, to prevent the election of J. Edward Addicks, as United States senator. This' is evi: denced by the rousing meeting of the regular repmblicans of Sussex county at Georgetown to-day at which plans were discussed for continuing the campaign with increased vigor. The republicans of Sussex county have the strongest party organization in the state and their action will doubt less be followed by the anti-Addicks element along the line. Prince's Visit To Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis, March 4.---It is { safe to assert that nowhere .in Ameri- | ca will prince Henry be more heartily received than in Milwaukee, for in no other city in the western world is the | Teutonic element so strong.

Fremont, Neb., March 4.---For months a strange man has been jumping from street corners after nightfall and imprinting hearty Kiss es on the lips of pretty women.

That Is Made Against The G.T.R System. Detroit, Mih., March 4. Member: of the Detroit board of trade are much stirred up over a ruling of the Grand Trunk under which the road has cut Detroit off from its through billing privi'ege. Under this privi lege farm products purchased along the line of the Grand Trunk by be troit merchants were brought to thi city and reshinped from here to point of destination. Under the new rule which went into effect on March 1st, such products will be shipped direct te the consignee whith will mean a loss of thousands of dollars to Detroit dealers. As the city is side-tracked by the Grand Trunk a committee of the Detroit hoard of trade has already protested against the new rule to division freicht agent Clark, but the kick was without of fect. It is mow proposed to send a committee to general manager Hays. and §f this effort is fruitless the board of trade wil start a fight against the Grand Trunk. TO: WELCOME . THE PRINCE.
