CIM R U ROBERTS OCCUPIES TDE TKAXSVAAL CAPITAL. All England CelebrniSag the Event With Wild En thnslrtsra Practical Finish or a War Which Has Tried Great Britain's Military Besonrees as They Were SeTer Tried Before The Boers' East Effort Pitifully Entile. Xiondon, June C. -4:33 a. m. Qucjn Victoria, surrounded by the Duke and Duchess of York, Princess Christian, Princess Victoria and many other no tables of her court, drank to the health of Lord Roberts and the army at Bal moral last evening. A great bonfire, lighted at Her Majesty's command, blazed on Cralggovvn mountain, illu minating the countryside for miles around. The nation joins in the toast, glorifying Lord Roberts and turbulent ly rejoicing in his victory. The dispatches of Lord Roberts, tell ing of the incidents before the sur render of the capital by three civilians, stand alone, as the correspondents with him not yet had their turn with the wires. Lord Roberts' postscript announcing the loss of the Yeomanry battalion came too late for the public to know It last evening. Th newspaper com mentators consider the incident de plorable, but as having no weight to speak of on the results. The battalion numbered between 400 and 500. 4 General Botha and most of his men got away from Pretoria. This is in ferred from Lord Roberts' message, but the presumption is that the Boer com mandant General cannot escape the British dispositions without a fight. Operations elsewhere seem to have dwindled to nothing. General Baden Powell joined General Hunter on Sun day at Lichtenbuig. Sir Redvers Bul ler has not moved. Bennet Burleigh, wiring from Johannesburg, says President Kruger took 2,000,000 in cash to Middleburg. Mr. Burleigh and Guy H. Scull, an American correspondent, entered Johannesburg the night before Lord Roberts occupied the city and made a tour of it unmolested by the burghers. London, June 5. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, almost eight months after the declaration of war, Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. While the commander-in-chief of the greatest army Great Britain ever put in the field was fulfilling the promise he made to the Guard at Bloemfor.tein, to lead them into the capital of the Transvaal, Eng land was celebrating the event with Wild enthusiasm. Throughout the length and breadth of the country the news spread like wildfire. Based on the recollection of recent European wars, when the occupation of the en emy's capital signified the end of hos tilities, Lord Roberts' terse telegram was universally taken to mean the practical finish of the war which has tried Great Britain's military resources as they were never tried before. In London the Mansion House and the "War Office almost instantaneously be came the centres for jubilant throngs. Flags again appeared as if by magic, and traffic had to be diverted through other streets. Joyful throngs thunder ed cheers and sang "God Save the Queen." Hats hoisted from thousands of heads were waved in exultant hands and shimmered like a coal-bed In the sun. Lord R. Herts' six miles spruit dis patch was hardly printed by the "ex tras" before the Union Jack of the War Office was hauled up the flagstaff and the brief message was passed from mouth to mouth: "Pretoria is occu pied." The pressure of General French north of the Boer capital came as a surprise and explained the commander-in-chief's retriever anent the position of the en ergetic cavalry leader. It was evident that Lord Roberts delayed attacking until all his columns were ready to co operate. Judging from Lord Roberts' phrase ology, the occupation of Pretoria was not accompanied by any loss of life. What has happened to the Boer forces which so insistently opposed the Brit ish advance at Six Miles Spruit ct only be surmised. But presumably they have got away, for the present, at any rate. The latest press dispatches from a representative of the Associated Press at Pretoria, dated June 3d, quote Gen eral Botha as saying: "So long as we can still count on our thousands of willing men, we must not dream of retrea or throwing away our independ ence " General Botha, it is added, annulled the regulations appointing a special committee to preserve order, substitut ing military control for that of the committee. General Lucas Meyer adds that the burghers on the Ohureh square urged them all to stand fast. Thus, though their efforts were piti fully futile, it is evident that a few faithful Boer Generals worked desper ately to resist the overwhelming fore Of Lord Roberts' army. Teiis were rung, nag; were noun ana holidays were declared all over Ung land. The Lord Mayor of London, Mr. A. J. Newton, has cabled to Lord Roberts: "The Empire will never forget what you and the forces under your com mand have accomplished. Accept the grateful congratulations of the citizens of London." THE CROP CONDITIONS. Washington, June 5. The Weather Bureau's weekly summary of crop con ditions says: Over the central and Eastern portions of the cotton belt there has been a general improvement in cotton, although slow growth is re ported from Georgia and South Caro lina, where rain is needed. In Texas planting is not yet completed and the crop has suffered much from excessive rains, is much in need of cultivation and is being damaged by Insects. The week has been exceptionally favorable for trans-planting tobacco in the Ohio valley and Middle Atlantic States, the bulk of the crop in Ken tuckv having beenset. . hen you say your blood is im ure and appetite poor you are admitting your need of Hood's Sarsaparilla.

The National Legislature Looks Horns our ttie Item la the Xaral Appro priation Bill Relating to Ocean Surveys Mr. Cannon Arouses the Hone to a Tremendous Pitch of Excitement. Washington. June 6. The House to night at 10:30 took a recess until 10 o'clock to-morrow, the two chambers Of the Nat: mal Legislature, with hands flown and horns locked, were in a des perate struggle over the item in the Naval Appropriation bill relating to ocean surveys. The final adjournment of Congress is postponed until it is over. The proceedings in the House dur ing the day were tame and without dramatic incident. But to-night tho House got its dander up over the failure of its conference to abide by their in structions on the ocean survey item, and after an exceedingly sensational debate, in which Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the Appropriations Com mittee, made some startling disclosures as to the manner in which Commander Todd, the hydrographer of the navy, had waged his campaign against the stand taken by the House in favor of the coast and geodetic survey doing ocean survey work, the House rejected the conference report by an overwhelm ing majority, and the Speaker took the almost unprecedented course of ap pointing new conferrees on the part of the House who are not members of the Naval Committee. The debate w,is one of the bitterest and most heated cf the session. Mr. Cannon in the excitement of the mo ment took off his collar and necktie, and with sleeves roiled up aroused the House to a tremendous pitch of enthu siasm as he dealt the conferrees sledge hammer blows. The galleries, crowded lo the doors, cheered the picturesque fight of the grizzled old veteran until the fretted ceiling rang. The conferrees defended their course as best they could, and Mr. Foss, acting chairman of the committee, resented with bitter language the charge that he had be trayed the House. Hot words were bandied back and forth, but the House was in an ugly mood and was resolved to fight the Senate to a finish. The appointment as conferrees of Mr. Cannon, Mr. Moody and Mr. Shafroth, all of whom are In sympathy with the House's position, assures no surrender on their part until the House itself sholl direct them to yield. When the House re-assembled at 8 a. m., the conference report on the General Deficiency bill, showing a complete agreement, was agreed to. Mr. Cannon submitted the conference report on the Sundry Civil bill, show ing the item carrying the claims of Nevada to be the only one in dispute. The item for the memorial bridge across the Potomac river was struck out. The provision as to the State claims was compromised by an amend ment that certain federal claims against those States would not be prosecuted. Mr. Cannon explained that the Sen ate added about $5,000,000 to the origi nal $61,000,000 of this bill, and that by this report the Senate yielded about $1,000,000 and the House $4,000,000. Con siderable debate followed on the va rious items. The conference report was agreed to, but the disputed item was sent back for further conference. This was to appropriate $462,000 for claims ol Nevada, for extra pay given Nevada's soldiers during the civil war. At 12:30 the House recessed until 1 o'clock. On re-convening, over 100 members with private bills were hustling about trying to secure recognition, but Mr. Lentz, of Ohio, had declared that he would object to unanimous consent for anything until an order wras made to permit the printing of the Coeur d'Alene investigation testimony. None could persuade him to yield. Figura tively he had the House by the throat. Then another recess was taken until 1:45. Then Mr. Lentz withdrew his ob jection against several bills of minoi importance. At 2 o'clock another hall hour's recess was taken. At 2:30 an other bill was passed and then Mr. Lentz resumed his objections. The House again came to a standstill and recessed until 3 o'clock. When the House re-convened. Mr. Lentz still blocked the path of private bills. Several he let pass and one, of fered by a Democratic member, he yielded to, but Mr. Cushman, of Wash ington, immediately .objected in retalia tion for the Democratic objection to a bill he had offered. At 4 o'clock the House again insist ed upon its disagreement to the Sen ate amendments to the naval bill re lating to ocean and lake surveys and the abolition of the sea course for naval cadets. Mr. Foss then called the attention of the House to the fact that the Senate, after a protracted struggle, had prac tically agreed to the House provision relative to armor plate. (Applause). Mr. Kltchin, of North Carolina, as sailed the proposition to give the Sec retary of the Navy carte blanche to pay what price he pleases for armor plate. The House concurred in the Senate amendment. 154 to 96. The bill was then sent back to conference and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. When the House reconvened at 8 o'clock, Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, attempted to make a statement relative to ap propriations for this Congress, but Mr. Lentz Interposed an objection. He was obdurate. A moment later when the Senate resolution to permit foreign exhibitors At the Buffalo Exposition to bring in laborers to install their exhibits was presented, Mr. Cann in got the floor and was prcceeding to make his state ment when Mr. Lentz interposed the point of order that the remarks were not germane. Mr. Cannon frankly stated that his purpose was to make the usual state ment for the benefit of the country and the House. If the objection was insist ed upon he would print it in the Rec ord. Despite the appeals of some of his Democratic associates Mr. Lentz re fused to relent and Mr. Cannon de sisted. .The resolution was adopted- ETHELBERT I AMI.T WIXS fhe Special Race at Graresend - Jean Brssnd Badly Bsaten.l New York, June 2. Ethelbert easily defeated Jean Beraud in the special race at Gravesend to-day. He was rid den by Danny Maher and was favorite In the betting. The time was 2.08 1-5 for the mile and a quarter. Hi3 perfor mance of to-day was good enough to beat that of- any horse that was ever saddled in this country. Maher had waiting orders and laid alongside his rival Ui.tii thoy ' ;-e tiair a mile from home, when he drew out and opened a big gap in a few strides and then came home as he pleased, under double wraps, with his head sideways ten lengths in front. Those magnificent specimens of horse flesh got away on the instant and came down the stretch, which was a living wall of humanity, moving stride for stride on exactly levei terms, nose to nose and tail to tail. The stride cf each was exactly the same length, their hoofs spurning the soil, covering the distance with great strides. The fir3t quarter was covered in 23 4-5 seconds, not slow going when the weight is considered. When they straightened out in the back stretch they were still running stride for stride, neith r appearing to have the least advantage, and the half was passed in 48 seconds. Maher gave Ethel bert a trifle more rein, and he began to move a little fastei than before. Now they were coming to the pole which ma.rked half the Journey, and in an other instaht they had passed it in 1.00 2-5, splendid time. In the next furlong it became appar ent that Jean Beraud had got the gad, as, inch by inch, at first, then foot by foot and then stride by stride Ethel bert began to get away from his rival. The time to the three-quarters was 1.18, and as far as Jean Beraud was concerned he hnd little more interest in the race. Around the upper turn, to the stretch it was Ethelbert first, and the other nowhere; for in a few great bounds with Maher sitting still on his back he had opened a gap of a dozen lengths, while Jean Beraud wa3 floundering in distress, a badly beaten horse. Maher did not look back, however, until he had reached the end of the seven fur' mg's in 1.26 3-5, and when he did turn h saw the pride of the Whit ney string far behind him and took a steady pull on e.is mount, passing the mile pole in 1.43 1-5, with a couple of wraps in his hands and lots left in him. Down tho stretch it was only a proces sion. Pull as hard as he might, Maher could not help winning by ten lengths, amid the cheers of tne multitude. It was a grand race and grandly run. Up sets were the rule up to the big race, not a favorite landing the money. A SUGAR AND COFFEE COMBINE 1NCORPOR VTED. New York, June 2. The National Sugar Refining Company, of New Jer sey, was incorporated at Trenton, N. J., to-day with an authorized capital of $20,000, 000. The company is empowered to produce and deal in sugar and coffee. The capital stock is divided into one half common and one-half preferred, the latter 6 per cent, cumulative divi dends. The incorporators are: Fred erick B. Mollenhauer, Brooklyn; James H. Pose and Frederick H. Howell, of New York; Herbert B. Cory, Engle wood, N. J.; George R. Bunker, Yon kers. N. Y. The following officers were elected: Fresident, James H. Post; Vice-President and Treasurer, Fred erick D. Mollenhauer; Secretary, Her bert D. Cory. It was announced that all the plants owned by the company will start up at once at their full ca pacity. It is stated that there is an understanding, although no definite compact, between the new concern and the American Sugar Refining Com pany, and that no rate war will result from the organisation of the new com pany. THE REQUISITION FOR FORMER GOT. TAYLOR'S ARREST. Frankfort, Ky., June 2. The application for a requisition on Oovernor Mount, of Indiana, fer former Governor Taylor's re turn here for trial is expected to be filed Monday. So far as c.n be learned, Mr, Taylor has not comn- -nicated with hll political friends here directly in the last day or two, but the 'eport that he has abandoned his intentkn of attending the National Republican Convention at Phil adelphia for fear of being arrested after he leaves Indiana, is credited by many who are close to him. While a majority of the Republican leaders stand by Tay lor in his course, others do not and he has received letters from a number of them urging birr, to return to Kentucky. Ex-Governor Bradley is credited with be ing among those who are opposed to Tay lor remaining out of the State. THE SITUATION IN CHINA. Pekin, June 1. American and other foreign guards numbering 349, arrived here in the midst of the Dragon fssti ral. The streets were unusually crowd ed and, though the people were greatly Interested in the annual spectacle, no manifestation of hostility was made. The presence of the guards has al ready had a marked effect upon the bearing of he Chinese toward foreign ers. The excitement in the adjacent country has been much allayed, but many Christian refugees are still flock ing into the city. The "Boxers" are evi dently moving afield. Unfortunately no leaders of the "Boxers'' have been ar rested, thoug-h th- ir capture would have been easy. All the Government has done has been to occupy the see: e of the disturbar.r s and no real repres sive measures have b?en taken. The Health Problem Is much simpler than is some times suppceed.

Many Killed on Both Hide Jpn PrftlfaU Agnlnst Puil l auding rt large Force -The Hlate Depart ment Orders the Gnubaat Helena Miib More Troons to atrenglben the Forcrs Nearest the Been of Trouble. Shanghai. June 6. The soldiers dis patched to attack the Boxers have fought an engagement quite close to Pekin. Many were killed on both sides. In consequence of the representations Of Japan, the landing of a large Rus sian force at Taku is alleged to have been stopped. It is believed here that should Russia persist in sending a pre ponderating military force to the front a collision with Japan will Inevitably result. Alarming reports are current here of the hurried completion of the mobiliza tion of the Japanese fleet. The Russian Minister to Pekin, M. de Giei-s, has made another attempt to induce the Chinese Foreign Office to formally request Russian assistance to restore order, but the offer has not yet been accepted. Violent dissensions are reported to exist between the Chinese commander-in-chief of the forces, Jung Iu, and Prince Ching Tuan, who, in accordance with the wishes of the Dowager Em press, is strongly supporting the cause of the Boxers. The mobs who murdered the English missionaries Robinson and Norman mutilated and disembowled the bodies. The station at Yan Tin, three miles from Pekin. has been burned. The British Minister, Sir Claude Mc Donald, is reported to be quite ill. London June 7. Affairs in China are gradually working up a crisis of the first magis'tude. The morning papers think that the British squadron is rec ognized as inferior in strength to the Russian, as well as to the Japanese. The Daily Telegraph says: "We re gret that Great Britain is too much occupied in South Africa to settle the Chinese business with a strong hand." The Pekin correspondent of the Times says: "No train either left or arrived at Pekin yesterday (Tuesday). Further damage to railways is reported. The Boxer movement is spreading un checked throughout the province. "Not one Boxer has yet been arrested or punished. Anxiety is increasing re-gai-ding the fate of the missionaries at the various stations. At the meeting of the Tsung Li Yamen yesterday (Tuesday) the Japanese Minister dis cussed the offer of M. de Giers, Russian Minister, to give assistance of the Rus sian troops in quelling disturbances. China is quite capable of accepting such assistance." Washington, June 6. Minister Con ger, at Pekin. cabled to-day that the situation was worse at Pekin, and this statement, taken in connection with Admiral Kempff's alarming cablegram yesterday announcing that an engage ment had begun, decided the State De part to strengthen the naval forces nearest the scene of trouble. Ac cordingly a cablegram was sent to Ad- : miral Remey, at Manila, directing him to dispatch at once to Admiral Kempff's command the gunboat He lena, or, if that craft is not at Manila and ready for immediate service, then some craft of correspondingly light draft and power. The purpose is to place at Admiral Kempff's disposal an efficient warship capable of ascending the Pei Ho river as far up as Tien Tsin. Admiral Kempff's flagship, the New ark, drawing twenty-three feet of water, cannot ascend the river safely beyond the Taku forts near the en trance, but the little Helena, drawing only eleven fet, can safely ascend to Tien Tsin, forty miles above. She was especially designed for service in these Chinese rivers and so is likely to prove much more effective than any other of the foreign warships which can pass the Taku forts and reach Tien Tsin. She carries a battery particularly adapted to dealing with such half organized mobs as the "Boxers." Be side her 8.4 inch rapid-fire guns she carries 4.6 pounder rapid-firers, 4 one pounder rapid-firers, two Colts and one three-inch rapid-fire field guns. She is commanded by Commander Swin burne and her complement is ten offi cers and 16G men. In view of the service ahead of her it is expected that Admiral Remey will add to this one or two companies of marines. If the Helena leaves Manila to-day she should reach Taku next Sunday night or Monday morning. Secretary Hay cabled Minister Con ger, at Pekin, an authorization to call for reinffjreements from Admiral Kempff and to make such disposition of his naval force as he deems proper to protfet the American legation and consulates and American interests gen erally. The administration is still de termined that the United States Gov ernment shall continue on Its inde pendent course respecting the Chinese situation, though wi.iing to go as far as possible to aid in the restoration of peace and order in China. Therefore Admiral Kempff has not been instruct ed to join the nival commanders in the Pei Ho river in concerted action. London. June 6.-0:1", p. m. A spe cial from Shanghai, dated June 6th. says the members of the majority of the legations at Pekin. including the members of the British legation, are sending their families away. It is also said that several prominent Chinese residents are leaving the city. There is an unconfirmed report that two Rus sian engineers have been mui lered at Yu-Chow-Fu. There is an unconfirmed report that two Russian engineers have been mur dered at Yu Chow Fu, northwest of Pert Arthur, after their wives had been outraged. The total damage done to the Chinese railroads by the Boxers fs now esti mated at 15,000.000. Pekin. June 6. The situation is grow ing steadily worse. Events move uith such rapidity and affairs, owing to the excitement of the natives, are so criti cal that the foreign Ministers held fre quent meetings. They feel the need of a free hand for energetic action, with out a perpetual reference to the home governments. Sir Claude McDonald, the British Minister. is wiring for seventy-five more marines. Native employees who have returned from Feng Tai say they left the Box ers openly drilling in the adjacent vil- lTHE "BOXERS" UPRISING THE TSI B6 LI YAM ESI OBDEKEB TO FACE ALE EFBOPE Ratber Thai to Interfere With tfca Boxer Movrneat Tbe Chlaeaa V ircroy Orders the Troops to Op pose tbe Farther Landing or Far eirn Troops-Roltinf life Inaas flold trs Hmiir Cat Tp-Home or Thrtr Bodies Frlfc-htrully Mutilated. Washington, June 5. The Secretary of the Navy has received the following cablegram from Admiral Kempff, com manding the United States ship New ark, lying at the Taku forts, at the mouth of ths Pei-Ho river, dated Taku, June 5th: "Engagement has commenced. Have landed a force of fifty seamen more battalion of marines. "KEMPFF." The cipher message Is not entirely legible, and it is supposed at the Navy Department the Admiral means that he has landed fifty seamen to reinforce the battalion of marines already ashore. Shanghai, June 4. The China Ga zette says it has the highest authority for stating that the Dowager Empress has ordered the Tsung Li Yamen to face all Europe rather than to interfere with the Boxer movement. Elsewhere it is asserted that the Viceroy has ordered the troops to op pose the further landing of parties from foreign warships, and that the troops now engaged in operations are designed to prevent further foreign reinforce ments reaching Pekin. Tien Tsin June f. A representative of the Associated Press visited Huuang Tsan, on the Pekin-Tlen-Tsin railroad, to-day and found that the station had been burned and two bridges damaged. The officer commanding the Chinese troops on duty there said that two hun dred of his men had bolted and only fifty ipmained. Thse fought well, kill ing a number of Boxers. The bolting troops weie badly cut up in the adja cent broken country. It is stated that sixty were killed or wounded. Some of their bodies were recovered, frightfully mutilated. Bands of Boxers are patrolling the neighborhood, but have not Interfered with the party of the Associated Press represent atives. All the Chinese railway employees are deserting their posts, and the troops sent to guasd the stations appear to be worse than useless, a guard of 250 sent to Feng Tai bolted at Lu Kou Chao yesterday morning when they heard of the trouble at Huuang Tsun. Vienna, June 5. The Neue Freie Presse to-day says the representatives of the foreign powers at Pekin have requested their governments to assent to the squadron of warships blockading at Pei-Ho river, leading to Pekin, as well as blockading Tien-Tsin. Washington, June 5. Tho State De partment has received cablegram from Minister Conger, at Pekin, stating that matters have taken a much more se rious turn "there. No details are given, but it is indicated that the Boxers' ac tivity is extending very closely to the Chinese capital. The State Department still finds it self unable to do more than it has al ready ordered respec ting the protection of American interests in China. Troops are not available, and even if they were, the government here is disin clined to participate in any joint dem onstration that would menace the in tegrity of the Chinese empire. Tien Tsin, June 5. News has just been received from the Viceroy, through the men he sent to Yung Ching, that Mr. Norman, of the North China Mission, was murdered Friday or Saturday. It is thought that the Viceroy knew of Mr. Norman's murder at the time of Mr. Robinson's. London, June 6. The Daily Express has a dispatch from Shanghai, dated Tuesday, which says: "Russian troops have been ordered from Port Arthur to the neighborhood of Pekin to punish the Boxers for killing two Cossacks and wounding two." London, June 6. The Berlin corres pondent of the Daily Chronicle says: In official circles here it is believed that the situation in China has grown worse. The powers are now exchang ing dispatches regarding the appoint ment of a e;"ie commander for the united Europe i and American squad ron. The Pekin correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Tuesday, says: Mr. Norman, a missionary of the So ciety for the Propanation of the Gos pel, was cruelly murdered at Yung Ching on June 2d. 1 he Viceroy of Pe Chi Li has officially notified the fact to the British Minister. The murder was undoubtedly due to the complicity of the Chinese govern ment on the disturbances caused by the Boxers. It is indisputable that the chief sup porters of the Boxers include Prince Tuan, the father, and Heu Tung, the guardian of the heir apparent, as well as Tung Fuh Siang. the General com manding the hordes of Kan Su soldi, rs, who have long menaced the safety of foreigners in Pe Chi Li. The Tien Tsin railway should be im mediately patrolled and protected by British guards.
