Dewet and Delarey " Accepted the King's Invita- tion to Visit Him--Were Ac- companied by Gens. Roberts and Kitchener. London, Aug. 18.--Mr. Ferreira, son- in-law of Gen. Delarey, willingly gave his impressions of his visit to the king to a reporter, who called on him at the! hotel. He said: "I accom: panied 'the generals as a guide and .in- terpreter, because I have been here he- fore, you see," exhibiting a pair of apparently new kid gloves. "'I bought these in~ London in 1898, but I never wore them. 1 was compelled to hau- dle a Mauser rifle instead; 1 left the gloves in Pretoria, and the moths gnawed this hole, but his majesty never noticed it."" Mr. Ferreiry seemed to regard this as a good joke on the king. Continuing, Mr. Ferreira saia : "We were all dressed in the sober fa- shion in which you see me." The Boer adjutant wore .a sober black, mourning suit, devoid' of least semb' lance of color. The king when he' re- ceivea his visitors was aressed in the full uniform of an admiral of the fleet. Mr. Ferreira went on to say : "The king received us all with thé most kindly courtesy, but beyond the necessary politeness he did not evince that particular interest which has heen shown by his more humble sub- jects. The interview! was very brief, partly because it was. necessary for me to translate each of the replies of Gen. Dewet and Delarey as they would not trust themselves to attempt their expressions in English, and partly al- so because they had not "lunched aboard 'the Royal yacht and were probably. getting hungry. Gen. Botha made his own replies in English, so his majesty spoke mostly to him. The king exp pleasure at seeing us and enquired as to our health. All 1 can say further is that there was no time during the conversation to de- viate from the ordinary channels. His majesty shook hands with me in an affable manner, and enquired if I had accompanied the generals in South Africa. 1 was not presented to the queen, but the Prince of Wales and the Princess Victoria Maude spoke to me. The latter was frankly curious to learn some of our war experier We were all pleased with the kin pleasant reception, 'as 'ft is not eve one who meets the king." The Boer 'generals themselves, Gens. Botha, y , of vice of delegate Fischer, were im- movable in their refusal to make any statement on any matter. Funds are coming into the delegation in a very satisfactory 'manner. One cheque was received terday for £3500. The ex- treme cordiality between Lord Rob- erts ana, the Boers was noteworthy. They 'returned with him on his special train. = During the journey the . com- mander-in-chiei explained all the sur roundings of the country side. Lord Kitchener, on the other hana, 're- mained at Southampton after acting as host at luncheon. The refusal of the Boer generals to witness the. review of fleet at Spit- head, or see King Edward Saturday, caused great exultation in the conti- nental press, and undoubtedly upset the plans of Secretary Chamberlain. Chamberlain had appeared extremely anxious that the generals should see no newspaper representatives before their visit to King Edward, and he accordingly caused instructions to be issued that no reporters be allowed on board the Wildfire or- Nigeria, while very unusual restrictions were placed on all reporters. The general impression is that Gen. Botha and his companions declined the invitation to witness the revibw and see King Edward because it came direct from Mr. Chamberlain, but on receiving the king's personal. invitation for Sunday, they readily accepted. An unique spectacle was witnessed within the walls of Westminster Ab- bey. vesterday. The cherished wish of the colonial troops in London was gratified, 'and they took part in what might be deseribea as a special colo nial Thanksgiving service. Two thou- sand invitations were issued for the which "®&one but visitors from. colonies, were privileged to be present. _ The troopers came in hv train from Alexandra. Place, wher: they are encamped, and from the north and south transcepts they took: ed down with awe, and wonderment, on the brilliant ornaments in front of the reredos. The service was simple vet dignified in character and struck a deep note of reverence. Bishop Wel don preached an impressive discourse and hisswords, referring to the feeling of brotherhood and kinship, thrille] and animated the entire congresa- tion.

St. Joseph, Mich., Aug. 18.--The city of Manistee is entertaining a sen- sational. municipal scandal. The city was enjoined from further carrying on its street improvement contract with the Central Bitholitic Pavement com- pany, of Zanesville; Ohio. The bill of complaint is signed by Ald. C. A. Wall and George R. Roy, members < of the municipal water board. Mayor Michael Fay, fourteen mem- bers of the city council, City Treasur- er Charles A. Zoebel, City Clerk Willi- am Pfeiffer, J. E. Merritt, chairman of the paving committee; Attorneys Jorgenson and Charles McCloud, Spe- cial Engineer W. Parks, and the pav- ing company are defendants in the case. Boodle is openly charged. Alderman Wall asserts that he was approached by Mayor Fay, who he alleges offered a certain amount of money to him if the - Bitholitic company was awarded contract. It is alleged that Mayor Fay influenced in a corrupt manner the action of the councilmen in their deliberations, and that at many of the special secret sessions no record of what transpired was kept. It is al- leged that the bids for all paving was specified to be cinders and gravel, but sand has been used. HONOR THE EMPEROR. Aged Monarch Receives Many Congratulatory Messages. Vienna, Aug. 18.--The seventy-second birthday of "Emperor Francis Joseph was celebrated with elaborate fetes throughout the dual empire. During the forenoon the members of the for- eign diplomatic corps presented at the palace telegraphic messages of con- gratulation from King Edward, Em- petor William, King Alionso of Spain amd others. In the capital the anni- versary of the Smperor's birth «+ was never so generally observed. Public offices, stores and factories were closed, the streets were handsomely decorated and gala performances were given at the theatres. Special thanksgiving ser- vices were held in all the churches and were attended by thousands of per" sons. The celebrations in honor of peror Francis Joseph are not the forced tributes of "downtrodden sub- jects, but arc spontaneous testimonies to the love and affection which this most 'generous monarch is held by the people. There * is no more popular ruler in the world, and he has won this popularity by a uniform genero- sity and kindness to' his people ever since _he mounted the throne, more than hall a century ago.

The gun the United States has ac- quired the right to use is understood to be an improvement ~on the model supplied to Great Britain, being light- er and of longer range. The United States officers have long complain- ed that their field guns were less effective than the French and German guns. . PAID FOR HIS VIRTUES. Obtains Gift From a San Fran- cisco Millionaire.

He was also asked if he chewed to- bacco and "upon replying in the nega- tive the stranger offered him a box of cigars, which he also declined. Before leaving the «town the stranger Mr. Higginson, a San Francisco million aire, went to 'the boy "and presented him with $2,100 in®bank notes. CUBA NOT TO LEASE FORTS.

London, Ont., Aug. 18.--A strane story is current here regarding the flight of Marion Brown, whié was hanged in London for the murder of Policeman Toohey in 1898. It- will be reniembered that after the murder Brown was traced to Lambtoh coun- ty where, after a sharp encounter, he gave the constables the slip and noth- ing more was heard of him until he was captured on the Pacific coast. Now comes the story that while in jail here Brown confessed that he was ferried across the river by an Indian and that just before the United States was reached he killed his conductor and threw his body into the river. An empty boat was found on the United States shore, just above the Indian reserve at Sarnia, after Brown's es- cape. A few days later a body which was supposed to be that of a boy he- longing to the reserve was picked up down the river. PUZZLED BY SLEEPER. Unsuccessful Efforts to Awaken Lockport Man.

Canada Atlantic Adopts a New Fuel Device. Ottaw Aug. 18.--The Canada At- lantic rhibvay is equipping its engines with a perfection fuel economizer and smoke consumer. The device has been placed on three engines, and is giving satisfaction. . 1t is likely that all the engines will eventually be equipped with the consumer if it continues to give good service. The object is to increase combustion of gases by in- troducing a jet of air by special means at a point which could not otherwise be.reached. By this ingeni- ous device, smoke, which is uncon- sumed coal, and gases, which are pro- duced 'by combustion, are forced into contact with a blast of hot air, thus giving a supply of oxygen to promote perfect cambustion.
