Curghers Content Themselves With f Sniping the British . Cape Town, June 12.—It is reported that a force of Boers have occupied Labuschangne’s Nek, near Dordreicht. A majority of the invaders consist of rebels, many of whom are of a very low type. The constabulary have had very se- vere work in the neighborhood of Petruskerg attempting to clear out the Brand and Hertzog commandos. In one affair eleven out of fifty Brit- ish engaged weve either killed or wounded. The fighting was at such close quarters that revolvers were used. It is reported that Gen. De Wet with 1,000 men has occupied a position in the Gatsrand hills, south of the Krugersdorp Potchefstroom railway. Sir Gordon Sprigg, the prime minis- ter of the colony, reports that the Boers in the northwestern districts res- olutely avoid coming in contact with the British troops and content them- selves with sniping. Marauding bands of burghers occasionally appear in the midlands but they appear to be bent only on looting. The Boers captured 30,000 cartridges and seventy-five rifles when they com- pelled the surrender of Jamestown a few days ago. ‘The Boer prisoners now number 19,042. BOERS’ GREAT LOSS.

New Battleship Develops Unexpected Speed. , Washington, June 12.—The magnifi- cent performance of the battleship Tllihois in her run from Newport News to Boston has given great satisfaction to the navy department. The Tllinois is one of the greatest as well as the newest acquisitions to the navy, and there is high expectation for her in her trial trip off the New England coast this week. The contract calls for sixteen knots sustained for four hours, and those who were on board during the run from Cape Charles to Boston believe that she will make 17.25 knots or better. The vessel left Cape Chartes light ship at 7:15 Satur- day night and rounded Cape Cod at 7:15 yesterday morning. FIFTY-NINE DROWN. Accident to a Passenger Bont in Chi- nese Waters. Victoria, B. C., June 12.—The steam- er Kinshiu. Maru arrived yesterday from the Orient, being the first of the reorganized Nippon Yusen Kaisha ser- vice which now gives bi-monthly. in- stead of monthly steamers. She brought news that a Chinese passenger boat bound from Chu San to Ning Pi was upset during a squall on May 8, and out of sixty-elght,on aine were saved. © MUST CUT EXPENSES. State Insurance Commissioner and Operation of Fire Insurance. Insurance Commissioner Dearth, in his report to Gov. Van Sant, says that the business done by the fire insurance companies licensed in this state shows that they will have to do something both to reduce managing expenses and the loss from fires, or an increase in premium rates will result. The in- crease in the value of investments dur- ing the past two years saved these com- panies from a loss of $8,000,000, but the commissioner says the rate of 43 per cent of expenses to premium receipts ts too heavy a load for the companies to carry and at the same time furnish to the public the necessary security. The commissioner thinks the companies might easily reduce the experises of management. The fact that from 35 to 40 per cent of the fires in Minnesota last year are charged by the authorities to incendiar- ism, he uses as an-argument in favor of @ fire marshal. The loss of 68 per cent of. the premium receipts, when added to the expenses, leaves the com- panies a heavy loss. He also calls at- tention to the ‘increase of fire losses in this state, from $877,487.46, in 1899, to $2,951,536.15, in 1900, as an esvidence that unless something is done to check these ravages a heavy advance in rates must be made. Taking up mutual fire companies, he says they should not be allowed to charge full stock company rates, or their members will be led to expect that no further assessments will be made. They should, however, have mutual premiums, paid regularly, at least every six months, under the name of assessments. The township mutuals have succeed- ed in reducing the rate on farm prop- erty from 75 cents to 17 cents per $100 of insurance, and have saved the farm- ers $4,200,000. Of the 285 American fire stock com- panies licersed within the past thirty years but 108 remain, and of the 62 for- eign companies, 41 remain. But 17 niu- tuals out of 81, and of 11 Lloyds admit- ted, only 2 are now in the state. Of the 271 companies which retired from the state, less than 5 per cent are now in existence. FISH AND GAME AT STATE FAIR. Attractive Exhibit May Be Made Permanent Feature. Minnesota will have an exhibit of game and fish at the state fair in after years. Just how extensive it will be depends upon the appropriation the leg- islature will grant to support the work, which will be begun with state fair money this year. Executive Agent S. F. Fullerton of the state game and fish commission has been in conference With Secretary Randall of the fair association. Secre- tary Randall has agreed to build aqua- riums if the state will furnish the fish to stock them. Mr. Fullerton accepted the proposition, and next winter he will ask the legislature for an appro- priation large enough to establish a permanent exhibit equal to any at the Pan-American exposition or Nashville. The exhibit will intlude, this year, moose, deer and elk heads and speci- mens of all kinds of game birds that grow wild in Minnesota. It is probable that several private collections of fine quality may be secured for the first year, while a state collection ts being prepared. As for fish, the state hatchery has a pretty good collection. The United States fish commissioner has promised to send some new stock for the plant, which will make it as good as the ex- hibits at the Pan-American or Nash- ville. The grotto will be in the shape of a tunnel, “and will appear as though blasted out of solid rock. At night the aquarium will be lighted by electric bulbs in the water, giving a very pretty effect. The fish exhibit at the next fair will consist of about 1,000 specimens, in- cluding all the sturgeon families, trout, bass, pike, croppie and other game fish. The aquarium will cost about $1,000, over“half of which will be spent for plate glass. ALL PARISHES REPRESENTED. Catholics of State to Join in Semi- Centennial.

MINNESOTA STONE TOO EXPENSIVE. Capitol Steps May Be Secured From Another State. The state capitol commission has opened the bids for the stone steps and terraces at the new capitol and rejected the three offers received. The lowest bid was greatly in excess of the esti- mates of the commission’s architect. It was, however, $107,873 below the next lowest offer and nearly $119,000 lower than the highest bid. The figures sub- mitted were: P. M. Hennessy of St Paul, $273.227; Butler-Ryan company, St. Paul, $381.100, and George S. Deeks, St. Paul, $392,000. The specifications called for Minneso~- ta stone, and the members of the com- mission say that the limitation in the specifications narrowed the kind of stone down to a few quarries. The architect was instructed to re- vise his’ specifications and another call will be made for bids, which will be opened at the next meeting of the com- mission, July 2. Bidders will be per- mitted to submit estimates on both Minnesota and foreign stone. Minor changes will also be made in the orna- mental work upon the stone, which, it is believed, will materially reduce the cost withcut seriously injuring the qual- ity of the finished work. The commission received a bid from the State investment board on the $250,- 300 worth of certificates of indebtedness issued for the construction work upon the capito}. The certificates were sold at par to the permanent school fund. Estimates were allowed to the con- tractor. the Butler-Ryan company, for work done during May, as_ foltows. Work on dome. $8.145.52; general con- struction work, $5,000. Wants Germany to Interfere.
