Among the jects discussed at the conference the Boer generals, Dewet, Botha Delarey, and members of the former Boer directory at Utrecht, was the future attitude of officials of the for- mer republicans avho resided in the continent during the war, and who claim restitption of their personal pro- perty rights before returning to South Africa. The generals professed a will- ingness to support these claims, but no final decision was taken, as the generals thought, it preferable to as- certain the sentiment of the British authorities, and then act accordingly. The future of ex-president Kruger was not discussed. Mr. Kruger abstained from anv attempt to influence the de- cision of the generals. He prefers to remain in Holland. The European and American tours of the Boer generals: will not be arranged until they return from London. Tt has been decided, however, that in addition to the cen- erals, delegate Reitz will lecture also. De- 25.- sub- of and A Bright Life Removed. Sympathy is extended to Capt. J. A.

AN INQUIRY 1S BEIKG MADE COUNTESS DENIES STORY OF RHODES' GIFT. \ Important Developments in Wire- less Telegraphy--The King of Barotseland is Homeward Bound. London, Aug. 25.--A despatch from Pietermaritzburg, Natal, to the Daily Mail; ' dated Sunday, says that while a vessel was discharging her cargo at Durban, a case of goods, which had been declared 'as containing saddlery, suddenly burst open, and was found to be filled with sabres and swords. They were consigned by an English concern to a Transvaal firm. An en- quiry is being: made into the matter. An important development in re- "zard to wireless telegraphy is believ- ed to be imminent in Penzance. The Italian warship Carlo Alberto, on which a number of experiments recently been carried out, arrived off Penzance on Saturday, and took up a position north of Signor Marconi's |station at Poldhu. communications between the ship and the station, and yesterday the war- ship left. The nature of the experi- ments which are in progress is not known. The Countess of Warwick denies the report that the will of the late Cecil Rhodes makes her a beneficiary to the extent of 21,000,000. Lewaiak, king of Barotseland, north western Rhodesia, the only other king present at the coronation of King Ed- ward, sailed for Cape Town yester- day. He took with him a huge pile of bacgage, including forty hat boxes. The family of the late Lord Paunce- fote, . have been: made the victims of two contradictory stories about the pecuniary conditions in which thev were left, one declaring them, penni- less and the other as being in posses- sion of a fortune double as great as they really have. The fact is that the late ambassador, out of the savings of a laborious life, had secured a sub- stantial London home for his family, in Chesham Place. If this can be dis- posed of to advantage, it should se- cure the main income of about £1,500 per annum. The government, it is pen- erally held, should supplement the amount by providing the proposed pension £500. a ---------------- FATAL MAGAZINE EXPLOSION 9 Two Bright Young Mer Were - In- stantly Killed. Winnipeg? Aug. 25.--Cecil Hart, clerk in the Bank of Hamilton, at Indian Head, was fatally shot in the back of the hedd, while duck shooting with a companion, Fdward Blakely, on Saturday, near that town. The shoot: ing was accidental. Hart was a son of Mrs. D. H.~Cole, and a nephew of Lady 'Schultz, of Winnipeg. William ~ Trown was drowned while crossing Old Man's river at Kipp, rear Lethbridge. He "was a resident of Trail, B.C., and was visiting rela- tives. Halifax, N.S., Aug. 25.--Charles Mc- Nulty, of Charlottetown, aged fifteen vears, and Finely McDonald, of Thor- burn, aged seventeen vears, were killed at Thorburn, six miles from New Glascow, Saturday. bv the hlow- ing up of the powder magazine of the Acadia Coal Co., where they were em- ployed. The explosion is said to have been caused by one of the boys put- ting a match to the minidture can- non at the magazine door. The brick magazine was shattered to atoms. There were between thirty and forty twenty-five-pound kegs of powder ir the magazine. y Railroad Contractor Dead.

Charter 'to Build Railway Through Adirondacks. Albany, N.Y.. Aug. 25.--The New York Canadian Pac ific company. which claims ownership of the old charter anterior to the adoption of an amendment to the state constitution prohibiting railroads running' through state lanus, has applied to the state railway commissioner for authority to issue first mortgage bonds for $25,- 000,000. The company was formed originally to build a railway irom New York te Albany, ana through the Adirondacks to Canada. There is much doubt as to whether this charter will not prove to have heen outlawed by time. The New York Canadian Pacific rail- way got its charter under the title of the Northern New York railway. An extension of the charter was secured, and efforts were put forth from time to time to keep the project alive, but since Mr. Webb's St. Lawrence and Adirondack road has been built, it is regardea as extremely doubtful whe- ther any other big company would care to build through the woods, as there is hardly business enough to make it profitable. A PROSPEROUS FUTURE For Cunard Steamship Line--Sub- sidy Assured. New York, Aug. 25.--A Tribune Lon- don cable says: It is stated by prom- inent members in Livegpool shipping circles that negotiations between the British government and the Cunard company will result in an agreement that will insure a prosperous future fot the line. An understanding is re ported to have been arrived at by which the company, in addition to a mail subsidy, will have adequate finan- cial a ance, 'and be a purely Brit- ish concern. The Y dene line is mak- ing arrangements for a considerable development of passenger traffic. The change is not unconnected with the schenie' of the Morgan trust for mak- ing return passenger tickets available by any of the vessels of the different lines. SIR C. R. WILSON RETIRES. Anxious to Assume Chairmanship of Board of Directors. Montreal, Aug. 25.--According to re- ports important changes may take place in the Grand Trunk directorate. According to romors, Charles M. Hays, second vice-pr ident, and gene- ral manager of the system, is slated to succeed Sir Rivers 'Wilson as, pre- sident. Sir Charles Rivers Wilson will, it is understood, retire from' the pre- sidency and become chairman of the board of directors, a position similar to that held by Sir Wiliam Van Horne on the Canadian Peicfic. A Baby's Long Climb. Gore "Bay; Ont.,, Aug. 25.--Alfred Clarke, a baby of fifteen and one-half months, son . of Stewart Clarke, ma- son, of this - town, 'the other day climbed up a ladder to the roof-of the house; whichis at least eighteen feet hich at the eaves. His sister miss] him, "and" hearing him cry located him hanging over the edge of the roof, only kept from fall- ing by the rung of the ladder.

Vancouver, R.C., Aug. 25.--J. Fin- neran, an iron-moukder by trade, and the immediate heir to $10,000 in cash, which he did not know was awaiting him, has died in poverty in the city jail. Finneran formerly lived and worked in' San Francisco, and-had been a resident of Vancouver for some months. A> month ago his father, for- merly a locomotive engincer on the New York Central, died, Jeaving him the large legacy. The letter announc- ing it arrived here only a dav or twe istence. Finneran worled first in Vancouver at the Albion Iron works. Every fay: day was followed bv a spree and aft- er two months he lost his position. Then he worked at different places ar ound the town and finally was carried to the City hospital, having suffered a fainting spell on the street. Two davs he staved in the hospital and then be- came so violent that he had to be re- moved to a padded cell, in the police station. He was last seen alive stand- ing in the corner of the'cell, when he threw up his hands and fell dead. When he was brought in an unopen- ed letter was found in his pocket. Af- ter his death this was opened.and it proved to be from a firm of Chicago lawyers, advising Finneran that he had fallen heir to 210,000 and some small property in' a New England state. The letter had been forwarded to San Francisco and from there came to Vancouver. The man had evidently died without hearing of the fortune that had been left for him.
