NOTHING 10 MAIC TI London Paper Declares Mortality in Concentration Camps Is Worse Thaa India Famijoe. ETERNAL STAIR ON ENGLAND'S NAME. All Hamane Men Are Called Upen to De- mand a Change Before the Empire Is Exterminated—Famous Episcopal Cler~ gyman Who Denounced Governmen#’s South African Policy Made a Bishop. London, Now 9.—The Daily News exhaustively surveys the concentra- tion camps in South Africa with the following conclusions: “The truth is that the death rate in the camps is incomparably worse than anything Africa or Asia can show. There is aothing to match it even in the mor- tality figures of the Indian famines, | where cholera and other epidemics have to be contended with,” Statis- tice are produced in proof of this as- sertion. i ‘The government's advertisement for teachers for the camp children, set- ting forth that the “term af emplo ment will be one year certain,” is! prominently dixplayed as evidence | that the authorities have no inten-_ tion of ending the “wholesale destruc- tion of life.” The News urges all humane men not to wait for official reports but to insist “on the eamps being broken up and the people dis- tributed among their friends or re- moved to districta where a fresh at- tempt can be made under competent | organization and with some regard to! the preservation of life—that, or ex- terminatien and an eternal stain on} the name of England.” The appeintment of Rev. Charles; Gore, canon of Westminster, to be bishop of Worcester, has rained both a political and eecclesiastic storm. Qnly a few days previous te the an- nouncement of his appointment Mr. Gore came out in the Times with a streng letter condemning the concen- ! tration camps and other severe meas- | wres in South Africa, Several of the | government organsstigmatived him as a pro-Boer and deplored the fect that | sugh a talented author should have been so helplessly misled. Their as- tonishment over Lord Salisbury's al- most immediately afterward elevat- ing Mr. Gore to the bishop's bereh was so great that it took away their breath, The evangelical party in the chureh also bitterly upbraid Lord Salisbury for selecting © man so prominent in high church circles, In less prejudiced quarters the affair is taken as owce more exemplifying Lord sbury’s extraordinary cynic- ism and utter lack of interest in cur- rent events, OPPOSES REVENUE REDUCTION Washingtor . 9--Senator Bur- rows, of Michi . talked with the president Saturday about financial legislation, Senator Burrows is a member of the fin e connnitiee of the senate and is s ly opposed at this time to any ft r recuetion of BEATS ALL MAIL RECORDS. Letters Carried 15,265 Miles, or Half Way Around the World, In Less Than 30 Days. New Yerk, Nov. 9.—When the Cun- ard liner, Umbria, sailed Saturday she carried a sack of mail matter that ar- rived in San Francisco lass Monday on the steamer Ventura from Sydney and Aucklaad. & will be the speediest mail delivery every accomplished In the world; more than half way around the globe, by steam at sea and steam on lard and steam on sea again, in less than 30 days. The steameltip will have the letters in the London pest office the morning of November 16. It will beat Jules Verne’s Phineas Fogg by 20 days. The extreme distante from Melbourne to London, by way of San Francisco and New York, is 15,265 miles. Nearly 11,- 000 miles of the new route between England and its far-away colony are covered by American ships and rail- way trains. The beating of the last record of 31% days will prove that mail can be taken through New York more quickly than through the all- water route. d RAZED SEVENTY HOUSES. Me}.

Washington, Nov. 9.—Consul Gen- eral Dickinson from Sofia reports by cable the receipt by him of another letter from Miss Stone, as already noted in the press dispatches.

Although no explanntion is afforded by him as to the reasons for this interference it is believed that the Bulgarian autherities are seeking to pave the way for a denial of responsibility for an indemnity, by exhibiting unnecessary activity,in the pursuit of any persons who might be supposed to be able to inform them of the whereabouts of Miss Stone, FAVOR NICARAGUA ROUTE, the government's inc: “LT do not believe,” said he, “that it would he wise to tinker with the revenues vn- til we know exactly what money will reded, If we _to build the aguan eanal and provide diberal amounts for the improvements of rivers and harbors it would be the height of folly at this time to slash the revenue Cole Ye apolis, Minn =A, A. yor of Minneapolis, tendered n Younger, the bandit reeent- ly released from the Minnesota state prison, a position as captain on thre Toeal police force.

Other fleeing eenvicta, according to Teporte received at Warden McClaugh- ry's office ave still making for the Indian territory, They have broken up iato twos and threes. This is im- dicated, he says, by the fett that rob- beries 6f stores and residences re- ported when the cenvicts were knewn to he traveling in gangs have ceased to be reported. James Wilson, colored, was cap- tured om the outskirts of Leaven- werth a¢ moon Saturday. Wilson's feet ware still shackled. In this con- dition he had traveled two miles from the ecene of the outbreak since Wednesday afternoon, and he had come out from cover to get food, A message from the sheriff at Law- rence to the warden said that ten guards, a number of deputies and a crowd of gitizens, all heavily armed, were on the track of Frank Thomp- son, @ negro convict, originator and ringleader of the conspiracy to es- cape, and two other convicts who are traveling between Lawrence and Nor- tonville.

Completion of the Trans-Siberian Railread, Which Is 5,542 Miles Long and Cost $390,000,000. St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—Replying to a congratulatory telegram from the finance minister announcing the completion of the Trans-Siberian railroad, the czar of [Russia tele- graphed as follows:' “I thank you sincerely for your joyful communica- tion. .I congratulate you on the cempletion within so short time and amid incredible difficulties of one of the greatest railroad undertakings of the world.” With the completion of the rail- road the world witnesses a finished work of tremendous value to the gov- ernment under whose direction the road was built and of vast importance as bearing upon werld-politics in the near future. The avowed primary ob- ject in the building of this railway, which will have a total length of 5,542 miles and will cost $390,000,000, was the promotion of the coloniza- tion and industrial development of Siberia. The attainment of this ob- ject. will alone justify the cost of the road. The closer settlement of Siberia, with the inevitable adequate utilization of that vast territory's natural wealth and resources, will give to Russia a new empire of sur- passing richness and of steadily in- creasing importange and ‘power.
