THE PROPOSITIONS ARE LOOKED UPON MERELY AS A RUSE BY WHICH TO GAIN TIME. London, March 9. 5 p. m. The peace rumors touched upon in the Associated Press dispatch today were founded on fact. Kruger has appealed to Lord Salisbury for a cessation of hostilities, offering at length, by cable, the terms which he is willing to accept. These, however, are not taken seri ously, as they include practically noth ing more than what the Transvaal gov ernment offered prior to the issuing of he British ultimatum. Official circles here regard the prop ositions merely as a ruse of the Boers to gain time, and do not consider that Kruger will yet really consider the sweeping demands which Great Britain will make as reimbursement for her loss of life and great expenditure. It is understood that Krugers ad vances have met with emphatic rejec tion at the hands of Salisbury, who is believed to have said that no such at tempt to retain the independence of the Transvaal can be considered for a mo ment by the British government. London, March 9. From various quarters come signs of a possibility of peace in South Africa beirg shortly within the bounds of practical politics. All dispatches from Lord Roberts' headquarters, including those of the commander-in-chief himself, indicate a lack of guiding spirit among the Boers, and individual demoralization portending disintegration unless speed ily stemmed. The flight of the burghers from Pop lar Grove, according to accounts, was wholly Inglorious. A Times dispatch from Poplar Grove of yesterday's date, goes so far as to assert that the rout of fhe Boers was so complete that the submission of the Free State is being demanded by the burghers from their unwilling president, and it is expected its submission will he made within a week. Tue correspondent adds: "Probably the Boers' wisest course was flight, but it was most undignified and is certain to produce consterna tion at Bloemfontein. There is a grow ing" outcry against any further identi fication of the Free State with the Transvaal's interests." Dispatches from the Boer camp at Glencoe depict President Kruger as donning- a bandolier, seizing a rifle and inviting volunteers to accompany him, as he wished to have a shot at -the en emy "himself. Kruger is also quoted as having declared in his address to the troops that he "did not know whether arbitration or intervention would end the struggle, but it would end quickly, within the next month, he strongly be lieved." Lord Roberts has moved ten miles nearer Bloemfontein, evidently with a view of seizing' and utilizing the rail road, possibly to reach the Free State capital in three or four days, whence he may begin repairing the railroad southward, meeting the British ad vance from Cape Colony, which may be expected to be hastened as soon as General White takes command. AT JAMESTOWN. The British occupied Jamestown un opposed yesterday "and the Boers are reported as retreating beyond Aliwal North, so that Cape Colony is practi cally clear of armed Boers. Reinforcements from Natal are going to Roberts. General Warren's division and some artillery have already been ordered to join the commander-in-chief, so that the latter is preparing for all eventualities, including possible desperate opposition to his crossing the Vaal river and the necessity of a siege of Pretoria, where thousands of natives are reported to be employed in the construction of defensive works, con cerning which such secrecy is main tained that no one Is allowed to walk or drive on the outskirts of the town. The Prince of Wales this morning in spected Paget's Horse and Dun raven's Sharpshooters, attached to the imperial yoemanry, prior to their departure for South Africa. THE AMEER SPEAKS. The Ameer of Afghanistan has au thorised his agent In London to publish the following statement or the policy of Afghanistan towards Great Britain and Russia. After saying he had de voted much anxious thought to the pos sibility of Russia taking advantage of the Transvaal war to" advance through Afghanistan on India, his highness adds: 'I have come to the conclusion that Russia feared Afghanistan, as war with the Afghans would mean a gener al rising of all Islam, which would spread through Russian Asia. Russia had not troops enough to combat with such a rising. Her hold on the Mussul- men countries she has conquered is In secure. They hate her and with 10 times her power. Russia could not fight Afghanistan and India success fully. Afghans prefer death to slavery and their women and children are be ing taken by Russians." The Ameer says: "England must re member that I am always ready to fight for her on land, here or In India." KRUGER AND STEYN THERE. The war office has received the fol lowing from Lord Roberts: "Poplar Grove. Friday. Presidents Kruger and Steyn were both present at the fight on March 7 and did all In their power to rally their troops. The rout, however, was complete, the men declaring they could not stand against the British artillery and such a formid able force of cavalry." NEW WAR LOAN. The amount of the new war loan will be 30,000.000 pounds, with Interest at 1 S-4 per cent. The bankers of London met Chancellor of the Exchequer Hicks-Beach today to discuss the terms of the loan which will be adver tised tomorrow. CAN'T COME SOUTH. Washington, c March ' 9. President Mc Kin ley has been obliged to decline the Invitation . to visit Thomasville, Gl, next week. It was stated that while the president would Uke to go public business would not permit his leaving Washington at this time. SHELDON'S AD. RATE: $26 FOR EACH INCH SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED TO DATE HAVE PASSED BEYOND THE 250,000 MARK. New York, March 9. A Topeka dis patch to the Journal Bays: Although It is some days yet before Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of this city wiU begin the publication of the Tope ka Daily Capital as he believed Jesus would. Indications in abundance are being received that the experiment t being: watched with intense Interest by the entire civilized world. Letters ordering copies of the edition are being received by the hundred from nearly every civilized country- on the globe. The demand for the Sheldon edition in the United States is some thing enormous. Since Friday night the aggregate number of subscriptions received is over 100,600 and the total number received up to date is over 250.000. The advertising business of the Shel don edition has kept pace with the cir culation, although the rate now is $26 per inch for each insertion. Even at this high, rate the application for ad vertising space is far greater than can be supplied. All advertising contracts are accept ed by the business managers of the Capital under the condition that they dhall prove acceptable to Mr. Sheldon, and the matter submitted shall be sub ject to his inspection and approval. Mr. Sheldon's daily mail has to be delivered to him in a wagon since the announcement of the matter was made a short time ago. The increase of work in the mailing department of the local postofhee is so great that the govern ment has sent six more mailing clerks here to assist in handling the Sheldon mail edition. The mailing fo:ce on the Capital and. in fac t, the clerks in all departments of the paper, have been doubled, and a great deal of the business of the paper will be transacted outside of the office for lack of space inside. The Capital this morning made an announcement to the local advertisers, in which it said: "The first five issues of the Capital during the wpek of Mr. Sheldon's con trol will consist of eight pages. The last issue, which is to take the place of the Sunday edition, will be, so far as now known, 16 pages. It would be a physical impossibility for one man to edit a larger paper and inspect ev erything that will go into it as closely as it will be necessary for Mr. Sheldon to do under the circumstances. Me chanical difficulties also make it im possible to issue a larger paper." ARCH USURER DEAD AT BIRMINGHAM, ENG. HE WAS A SHYLOCK IN REAL LIFE, EXTRACTING THE LAST CENT DUE WITH DELIGHT. Chicago, March 9. A London cable gram to the Tribune says: Isaac Gordon, who gloried in the ti tle of "the greatest usurer in England," is dead at Birmingham. Though suf fering from a painful illness for a long time, he was engaged in money-lending transactions up to within two hours of his death. Gordon was a Polish Jew, 35 years old, and unmarried. He came to Eng land as a small boy and penniless. He entered tire service of a money-lender at Worcester as a clerk, but soon en gaged in business on his own account, and probably no man in England pos sessed more aliases and certainly none wrecked more homes through usorious methods. He was fit real Shylock in real life and impervious to reproach, whether emanating from judge, Jury, church or press. Gordon was summoned to appear be fore the -Money Lending commission, but it was necessary to Issue a writ to secure his attendance. He was the em bodiment of obduracy, suing for the last cent due, and extracting it with almost greedy delight. It is reported he died worth $5,000,000, but his will cannot be found. One of Gordon's commonest methods of getting a man into his clutches was to advance a sum of money at an ex tortionate rate of Interest and after wards approach the struggling debtor in another guise, and as a rule the more the victim of Gordon's methods endeavored to extricate himself the more hopelessly he became involved. The torment was increased by the re ceipt of letters threatening awful 'pains and penalties unless both principal and interest were promptly paid. VICTORIA'S SIGNS. Warning to Drivers to Keep Middle of the Road. in the The residents of Victoria have a new macadam road, built at a cost of sev eral thousand dollars, which is in every way a credit to the town and of which they are very proud. Now, the stupid ity of a certain class of drivers seems to lead them to prefer the gutters to the middle of the road, which is intend ed for vehicles. There is nothing worse for a macadam road than to be mis used in this way, and the practice has grown until the Victorians are exas perated. The authorities have embel lished the sides of the road with a number of signs, of which this is a fair sample: "If absolutely necessary road will- be widened for your especial benefit." When there is abundant space in the road for driving, as there is in this case, to destroy the road by driving in the gutters exhibits a lamentable spirit of carelessness and lack of considera tion for the public good. The drivers of livery teams and all others are ur gently requested to "keep in the mid dle of the road." 'THE BLUE AND GRAY.' Monthly Magazine Conducted try dets at Bingham School.

AMENDMENT GRANTING AU THORITY FOR DEFENSE OF CANAL BY THIS COUNTRY WHEN CONSTRUCTED. Washington, March 9. The senate committee on foreign relations has agreed to report the Hay Pauncefote treaty amending the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, with an amendment grating au thority for the defense of the canal by this country when constructed. The committee is practically unani mous in favor of the amendment. Some objection was made by Senator Morgan of Alabama, but he will not oppose the measure in the senate, ac cepting the change In order to hasten the action of the senate. A quite elaborate report has been prepared by Mr. Morgan, which will be pubmitted to the senate In executive session when the treaty is reported. It is the opinion of members of the committee that the senate will with but little delay ratify the treaty as amended. Mr. Morgan was the only member of the committee who voted against the amendment, Mr. Bacon and Mr. Daniel the only other Democrats present, vo ting with the Republicans. They also voted with the Republicans to have the treaty reported as amended. Mr. Morgan talked during the sitting of the committee in opposition to the amendment, practically consuming the entire time of the session. He con tended for the utmost liberty toward other powers in the use of the proposed canal, and held that American inter ests are fully safeguarded by the treaty as it stands. He also contended that an effort to amend the agreement might result in its defeat, and indica ted his purpose to oppose it to the ut most. Some of the other senators expressed the hope that he would not go to this extent and before the meeting adjourn ed there was felt to be some ground for the opinion that the Alabama sen ator would content himself with stat ing his opposition. While no member is authorized to speak for Great Britain, the opinion is expressed that the government of that country would agree to the proposed modification of the treaty. PRICE PUT ON LAWTON'S HEAD A Manila Paper Says the Jl1 Killed Him Got $25,W0. Who San Francisco, March 9. A Manila newspaper, the New Orient, an issue of which has arrived on the transport Warren, says that General Lawton was killed because a price was placed upon his head by wealthy natives of Manila. The story is told as follows: "When the news of General Law- ton's death reached Manila there was great rejoicing in certain native circles It was at once proposed to raise a purse to reward the man who killed him. "The officers of the Katipunan socie ty took charge of the affair. Within 24 hours the treasury had in hand over $100,000 of voluntary contributions. Af ter consultation it was deemed that this was too large a sum to be given to the slayer of a single man, and the re ward was fixed at $25,000. The man who did the deed was a second lieuten ant of the Guardia Civite named Gar cia. "The rest of the cash on hand was placed in a fund to reward such patri ots as might in the future be fortu nate enough to rid their' country by death of hated American officers. "Further contributions were solicit ed, and the noney is still pouring into the treasury." LIQUOR LICENSES, $1,000,000. Marshfield, Mass., Votes in Favor of License and Then Fixes the Price. New York, March 9. A special to the Sun from Marshfield, Mass., says: The citizens of this town, once the home of Daniel Webster, apparently possess some of the humor for which the great statesman was noted. The municipality has only about 500 voters and on election day, Monday, the ma jority of those who cast their ballots on the license question voted "yes" for the first time in the history of Marsh field. After the result of the count had been announced one of the town meeting orators arose and proposed that $500 be appropriated to maintain order, in view of the riotous times which he predicted would result from the sale of liquor. The motion was passed, but not until some practical joker had made an amendment that only $500 be taken from the town funds, and that the other $4500 be taken from the money realized from the sale of licenses and that the price of each "cense be $1,000,000.

Intimate friends of General Harrison that he is chagrin ed that his name should je so freely used in the newspapers of the country in connection with public questions now under consideration. The rjersistent effort of some news paper writers to make it ' appear that he is planning to step forward as an anti-administration leader, with the hope that he may be called on to be come the candidate for president, Is said to be especially distasteful to him.

UNION WILL BE TAKEN : ' CARE OF. Indianapolis, Ind., March 9. The So cial Democratic party today nominated the following ticket: For president Eugene Victor Debs of Indiana. For vice-president Job Harriman of California. The Social Democratic party will ab sorb the Hilquitt-Harrlman faction of the Socialistic Labor party by agree ment. The Social Democrats say the candi dacy of Debs will attract hundreds of thousands of voters to their party. They profess to see the beginning of a great national victory. The candidates ad amalgamation are to be approved by a majority of each party, according to the referendum. Debs had positively refused to accept the nomination, but finally succumbed to persuasion. It seems from explana tions of his friends that Debs has been applying his earnings to the extinction of the debt against the American Rail way union, and that he did not want to cease until the debt was paid. The debt amounted to several thousand dol lars. Debs received assurances that the debt would be taken care of and that he would receive the rest three months before entering the presidential canvass.
