LONDON , June 8. 3 a. m. The ex-
* cutlve officers of the Transvaal gov-
li'nment arc in a railway car , shunted
on a switch at Macedorp station. Pres
ident Kruger caused the Interior of
ilia coach to be reconstructed some
time ago with a view to contingencies
Uiat have now arrived.
A correspondent of the Dally Ex
press , who went from Lourenzo Mar
tinez to see President Krugcr , was re
ceived yesterday. The president sat
smoking n long plp9. He looked wori-
rled , but his bearing was quiet and de
termined. He did not make the least
objection to being interviewed.
The correspondent was equipped for
Interview by cables from London.
"Yes , " said President Kruger , "It Is
quite true that the. British have oc
cupied Pretoria. This , however , does
not end the war. The burghers are
fully determined to fight to the last.
They will never surrender so long as
600 armed men remain in the country.
1 feel deeply encouraged by the fine
work Steyn and DeWet are doing In
Iho Free State. "
The correspondent suggested that
'the war was over , Inasmuch as the
capital had been taken.
"Tho capital , " explained Mr. Kruger ,
vilth energy. "What is a capital ? It
does not consist of any particular col-
loctlon of bricks and mortar. The cap
Hal of the republic , the scat of gov
ernment , Is here in this car. There
is no magic about any special site.
Our country is invaded , It is true , but
it is not conquered. The government
is still effective. "
Referring to the'reason "why he left
Pretoria Mr. Kruger said :
"I was not foolish enough to be
taken prisoner. , I provided this means
of locomotion precisely for the same
reason as our burghers supply them
selves with hoises when they take the
field. It is necessary that I should bo
able to move quickly irom place to
place. That is all. By * and by this
care will take me back to Pretoria.
For the present it enables me to keep
away from Pretoria , where 1 could beef
of no service and where I should only
play Into the hands 'of the enemy. "
"They say , Mr. Kruger. " remarked
the correspondent , "that you have
brought with you gold to the value of
2,000,000 ? "
"It is not true , " replied the presi
dent. "
Secretary of State Reltz remarked :
"You may depend upon It that the
1 war Is not yet over. Guerilla warfare
will continue over an enormous area.
We intend to fight to the bitter end
shall probably retire on Lydenburg ,
where wo can hold out for many
months. "
"Yes , " observed Mr. Krtiger , "it is !
only now that the real struggle has
begun. I fear that there will still ,
be much bloodshed , but- the fault is
that of the British government. " Then
raising his voice to an almost passion
ate height , Mr. Kruger exclaimed i1 1 :
"The time has. passed for us to talk.
Wo have done plenty of that , but k.it
has done us no good. The only thing
left for us to do is to Keep on fight
ing , to keep on fighting. "

DULUTH , June 8. The entire husl-
ness and most of the residence section
of the town Virginia , on the Mesaba
Iron range , has been wiped out of ex
istence and It only took sixty minutes
to do it. In that time fully IL'o build
ings were reduced to ashes. The main
.business section of the city is about
five blocks from the mill where hong
lire started and over this intervening
territory the flames spread rapidly , car
ried directly to the business buildings
by a fierce southwest wind. The terri
tory over which the lire traveled cov
ered about twelve blocks , about nine Vof
which were thickly built up. Tonight ;
there Is not business - *
a house-hotel
or store standing in Virginia. The res
idence portion of the town was only
partially burned. The school house Is
untouched , as also are most of the
churches. The loss is estimated at
? 500,000 , with not more than $125,000
insurance. So far as known no lives
were lost.

NEW YORK , June 8. The Joint pas
senger committee of the railroads in
the Trunk Line association , after a two
days' session adjourned without reach
ing an agreement on the matter of ex
cess fares upon fast trains , via differ

that any publUped reports of new cases
of plague sine ? last Sunday are not

GOT READY IN TORI Y HOURS.
Indiana nnd Mantnrhu4etl figure In
Itemiirkitblo Kxpi r I m out.
WASHINGTON , June 8. The ex
periments with the battleships Indiana
nnd Massachusetts have been n marked
success. A telegram received nt the
navy department today from Admiral
Silas Casey , commandant of the Lcaguu
Island navy yard , announced that thu
two big ships were completely equipped
and ready for sea. He said the Indiana
would pull out at noon nnd thu Massa
. chusetts about two hours later for
Newport via Hump ton Roads. The de
lay ' In the case of the latter ship was
not because df any .nek of prepared
ness on her part , but simply because
the tide would not servo until aiter-
nooii. Thus It appears t.mt these two
tormldaolc vessels have been made
leady for any required service in the
* hort space c ? about forty hours , with
out the slightest notice to the com
mandant of the "League Island navy
yard or the commanders of the two
battleships. The result Is regarded as
a satisfactory vindication of the policy
of keeping ships "in ordinary , " recent
ly 1 ; adopted by the navy department.
The record made at League Island is
about as good as any made abroad ,
with superior facilities in the latter
case.

a detachment of sailors and marines to
Tien Tain , and , after conferring with
the German minister at Peklr. , to ar
range with the commanders of the

Germany has officially declared her
readiness to act in concert with the
other powers , but having no interests
outside of Shan Tung province she is
not disposed to take the leading part
in Intervention In China.
The German newspapers claim to.
have discovered that the alleged secret

tious. The National Zeltung avers that

lln h Tlwt follows , Her Skull It Frac
tured ,
OMAHA , Neb. , Juno It. Mrs. Kate
B. Moores , wife ot Frank E. Moores ,
mayor of Omaha , died at her liome at
8:55 : p. m. Saturday , the result of a ler-
rlble runaway accident , which occurred
three hours before.
She had attended a picnic given by
her daughter's Sunday school class at
Riven lew park nnd was returning
homo In her own carriage , accom
panied by Mrs. T. J. Mackay , wife ot
the rector of All Saints' church , and lit
tle daughter. When near St. Joseph's
hospital , on South Tenth street , the
horses became frightened at a runaway
team attached to Dr. Porter's buggy ,
which crashed Into the carriage occu
pied by the two women. ' In an instant
the fiery horses were beyond control
of the coachman and dashed down tiie
street at n terrific pace. Mrs. Moor-w ,
weak and nervous from fright , at
tempted to alight from the carriage ,
but fell to the pavement , striking the
back oT lier head on the curbstone. The
skull was badly fractured at the base
of the bruin. ,
After Mrs. Moores fell the frighteneiT
animals galloped on down T .nth
street , barely escaping serious mishap
a number of times , until Mason street
was reached. Here the horses ran Into
a wagon , throwing them from their
feet and stopping the mad flight. Mrs.
Mackay had clasped her little daughter
tightly to her breast and remained In
the carriage until the final collision ,
when they were thrown on the horses
with the coachman , but fortunately all
escaped serious injury. The carriage
was wrecked and the horses came out
with only a few scratches.
After a preliminary examination and
treatment by the physicians nt Uio
drug store Mrs. Moores was. removed
in an ambulance to her home at 617
South Eighteenth street. In the mean
time tne son end daughters had ar
rived , but it was nearly an hour before
the mayor could be found , as he had
been entertaining Envoy Wessels on
behalf of the city. The mayor was
finally notified and hurrleB at once to
his wife's side.
Surrounded by her family , Mrs.
Moores passed away , never having re
gained consciousness.

of school , It was supposed that the. Jan
itor in cleaning up about the building
set fire to the rubbish In tne furnace ,
which caused the conflagratlton.

Cook ot Sacramento , Cal. , father of
W. II. Cook of Kearney , who myator-
TJttsTy'C7sappeared while * on his way
here from Sacramento , has been found.
The old gentleman is In the hospital
at Rock Springs , Wyo. , but how he
got there Is yet unknown. It will bo
remembered that his overcoat , cane ,
lunch basket and pocketbook were dis
covered on the train this side of Ogden ,
but Mr. Cook had disappeared and
them was nothing to "how when or
where ha got off the train. The pock
etbook contained only some papers and
a ticket and the absence of any money
gave rise to unpleasant suspicions.
These suspicions were Intensified a few
days later when it wan learned that
some person had used the ticket as
far as Kearney , that it had been taken
up ort Ibis passenger division , thus
creating the presumption that the old
man had been foully dealt with and
robbed of his money and ticket. Sun
day evening his son set out for Ogden
determined to run the mystery down
from that point , but during the evening
n telegram was received by Agent Rob
inson of this city stating that the miss
ing man had been located In the hos

Cancellation of $35,000 , Pays off Last of

LINCOLN , Neb. , Juno C. The last
Uom of the bonded Indebtedness ot
the slate of Nebraska was wiped out
on Juno 2 by the cancellation of $35-
000 of bonds belonging to the perma
nent school fund. Those bonds ma
tured In 18)7 ! ) , but wore not paid un
til last Saturday , owing to R lack of
cash In the sinking fund.
The state's bonded Indebtedness was
incurred between the years 1871 and
1874 , and amounted to almost $450.-
000 , ot which amount all hut $23,000
was. held by the permanent school
fund. The occasion for the Issue of
tlio bands arose out of the fact that
during the period mentioned general
fund warrants wore paid out ot the
permanent school fund by the state
authorities , because of n lack of cash
In the general fund. To reimburse
the school fund recourse was had to
the issue of what were termed "trans
fer cortlflcates , " crediting the perma
nent school fund with the amounts
thus abstracted. Those certificates
were later taken up , In 1877 , by the
issue of Nebraska state bonds direct to
the permanent school fund.
The redemption of the $35.000 ot
bonds last Saturday wiped out the last
remaining evidences of those early
transactions and leaves the state clear
of Indebtedness save for the lloatlng
debt , consisting of about $1,750,000 In
warrants outstanding against the gen
eral fund , of which $922,000 are owned
by the permanent school fund.
The report of the state treasurer
also shows the receipts , disburse
ments and conditions ot the state
treasury during the half year ending
May 31. 1900. During the six months
covered by the report the receipts
amounted to $1,6.15,042.27 and the dis
bursements to $1-129,850. leaving n bal
ance on hand of $819,281.90 , of which
$614,110.34 was carried over from the
preceding half year. The uninvested
portion of the educational funds still
amounts to over $200.000.

GOLDEN HARVEST HAS BEGUN.
OOO.OOO I'cnoni VUltcu' 1'nrli Kxpoiltlon
Ourlnc Hi" I.ait Woek.
PARIS , Juno 11. The golden harvest
of the exposition has at last begun.
Twice this week the number of visitors
exceeded half a million , which sur
passes the figures of the 1889 exposi
tion at a similar period. It is esti
mated that over 8,000,000 persons have
now passed the turnstiles. The great
est difficulty Is now experienced In get
ting from the grounds at night , the
street cars and omnibus facilities being
utterly Inadequate to cope with the Im
mense crowds , nnd the cahmon are
having high times , demanding and get
ting fancy prices for short trips homo.
It Is nothing unusual for them to ask
$2 for a trip for which the legal faro
Is 30 cents.
The electrical arrangements at the
Chateau D'Eau have been ropulrod and
the Illuminations during the evening
are now very brilliant and effective.
The American pavilion was closed for
four days this week for the improve
ment of Its Internal decoration. A.
large piece of statuary representing
three wild bronchos forms a vor.r
striking centerpiece , and about It ar
palms and ( lowers and a circular sofa.
The walls have been repainted a soi'ter
color , relieving the former glare ot
whlto , and a number of paintings have-
linen hung. Further Improvements ai'a
contemplated.

pli-aloa In an armed Junk off Cape Sul-
mnn , fight miles from Hong Kong , re
turned today. The pirates secured
about ? COO on board nnd used the
launch to catch three other craft , which
they looted. They then abandoned th
launch to the crew.
Hun n Cure for l.rprony ,
PARIS. June 11. Prof. Mcelinikoft
of the Pasteur institute , who recently
startled the world with ills experi
ments toward a long life elixir , believes
he has twtind a serum against leprosy.
Several celebrated physicians abso
lutely support his claim and some
American physicians are here Investi
gating with a view to using tlie rem
edy among the Infected populations oC
Hawaii and the Philippines.
