Another late telegram from Cowes, saying that nearly all the restric tions upon the kind's diet have been with drawn, ha been welcomed u evidence that the late omlnou conclusions were drawn Without considering the doctors' conclusions. King Edward sat smoking on the deck of the royal yacht and watched the race f the email yachta off Cowe. Those who drew inference from the fact that the invitation to Westminster abbey were not dated have had their fears dissipated by the proclamation published In the Oasett tonight axing August 8 as the data for the coronation, which I al together of more Importance than what might have or might not have appeared en the cart of Invitation. The king and Queen Alexandra will leave Buckingham palace on August IS for the royal yacht, where the fleet will paa In lew.

In It Issue of this morning the Dally Mall assert there 1 no longer any doubt that the three monster oil interests of Rockefeller, Rothschild and Nobel have entered Into a working agree ment. "Thus," say the paper, "without any pub licity the greatest trust the world ha ever seen has sprung Into being." This combination, says the paper, has been hinted at In messages from Batoum and Moecow and it has been more clearly shown In the offers made to Russian oil exporters by representatives of the Nobel and Rothschild Interests for the absorp tion of the whole of their output. The exporters have been forbidden to sell through the agencies of these Interests at a price arranged by them or to fight the combined forces of the three oil giants. This offer was made openly and with the idea of maintaining prices and It has been refused, the Russian exporters preferring to fight. It was doubtless this combine, continue the Dally Mall, which Induced the Russian government to issue Invita tion to an anti-trust conference. Spokes men of the anti-trust combine declare It mean a- fight to the death and that the Independent exporters cannot hope to win.

About 1:30 o'clock thla morning flames were discovered Issuing from the building at 919 Liberty street, occupied by the De- Noon Bros.' Paint and Varnish company. Owing to the combustible nature of the stock the fire spread rapidly and soon the adjoining building, occupied by Stewart Bros., dealers In rubber goods, was alao in flames. As the fire spread there were frequent ex plosion and about o'clock, when the flames appeared to be succumbing to the ef forts of the firemen, there was an explosion that shook the building and shot the flames far out over Liberty street. Five firemen were caught and badly burned about the hands and soorched about the face. They were at once taken to the Homeopathic hospital and later removed to their homes. Their Injuries are not regarded a serious. Meanwhile the moke and ,edor from the burning rubber, mixed with paints, oil and benslne, nearly stifled the firemen and made it almost impossible for them to get at the blaie, but they worked heroically and about 8 o'clock this morning had the flame under control. Both building were gutted and S. Ewart'a wholesale grocery, adjoining on the east, was badly damaged. Speer A Hollar's furniture store, A. C. Ellis, hat dealer, and J. J.

CHAMBERLAIN IN THE MUSE First Appearance of Colonial locTstarj Binoe His Accident TALKS OF AFFAIRS IN SOUTH AFRICA ays Government Will Carry Out All Promises Made to the Boers, but Will Take Its Time In Doing So. I LONDON. July 29. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain appeared In the House of Commons thla afternoon for the first time since hla recent accident. He wa greeted with hearty- cheering and later he was wermly congratulated by Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, liberal leader In the house. . 1 Mr. Chamberlain's sppearance In the House of Commons today was marked by speech which won tbe applause even ot such opponents as Henry La- boucher. Mr. Chamberlain dealt com prehensively with the past and future of South Africa. "We have no Intention," he declared, "that the Boers should break with their old traditions. We desire that they should preserve all the characteristic of their race and hope they will shake banda with us, thus securing prosperity In South Africa under the flag which pro tects different races and dlffeernt re ligions." That sentiment wa tbe keynote of the speech. Dealing with the much discussed labor question, Mr. Chamberlain said he believed every Inducement to labor should be held out to the blacks, but no scheme of com pulsory labor would receive the slightest government support. . There is no inten tion of packing the country with Brit ishers, but so much Transvaal land was lying Idle that the colonte could only be made a great corn producing factor by bringing In British settlers. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman supple mented his Congratulation by asking for Information of the colonial conference. He expressed the hope that lenient treat ment would be extended to the Boer In South Africa. Mr. Chamberlain replied that the1 one spirit animating the members of the conference was the desire to draw closer together the constituent parts of the empire, and hs thought It safe to say that the conference bad made Important progress toward a perfect union, to which he himself looked forward. Regarding South Africa, Lord Mllner, the high commissioner, had telegraphed spon taneously that he did not think further legislation necessary to make the banish ment proclamation effective. The gov ernment, however, reserved to Itself the important right In the new colonies to refuse to allow the return or to keep watch over persons who showed themselves Inimi cal to good order and peace. "We are not going to allow ths result of ths war to be undermined," said Mr, . Chamberlain, "by Intrigues carried on by nominal constitu tional mean." Status of South Africa. Regarding ths future status of South Africa th colonial secretary said the im perial government had established a crown colony in ths strictest sense. .The next step would be to add a Dominated official ele ment. Thereafter there would be an elected official element. Nothing but circumstances and time would separate the new colonics from self-government, the ultimate goal of their ambition. That consummation would .not be delayed, If for no other reason, be cause It might relieve the government of the tremendous burden ofresponsib!llty In volved In the present situation, but all must understand that the government would not be rushed or pushed into any action which circumstances did not warrant. The speaker said he was one of those op timistic enough to believe that the new colonies would reach the ultimate goal of their ambition much sooner than many per son now thought possible. So far aa the government was concerned, the surrender promises would be kept in spirit as well as In letter. The government, he said, was bound, both by honor and interest, to this course. There remained many question to be dealt with; a new tariff must be arranged, Involving Intricate question concerning which exports must be consulted, and the taxation of mine must be settled, but he wished to say nothing would be done to punish owner of mine, aa had been sug gested In tnany quarters. The government would do nothing to interfere with a quick revival of development of ths country. Subject to that consideration, Mr. Cham berlaln continued, no man waa more anx lou than he to recover some considerable part of the cost of the war from South Africa. -He thought It would be perfectly fair to lay a fair part of tbe cost ot the war on the principal industries of the Transvaal, but what amount It was too so6n to say. Mr. Chamberlain's speech evoked crit icism of tbe financial features of tha policy outlined for South Africa from Sir William Vernon Harcourt, James Bryce and others, Mr. Byrce said he hoped the national scout would not be used as police, but Mr. Cham berlain said he could not see why they should not be so employed, as he believed they would make admirable civil guards. Mr. Chamberlain also said he hoped the royal Judicial commission going out to South Africa would exercise tbe king's clemency in view ot tbe large number of sentence Imposed during tbe war. BOTHA GIVES GOOD ADVICE Saya Boers Mnst Drop Politics nnd Make Themselves Happy In South Africa Because It Is Home. CAPETOWN, July 29.
