Russell, editor of the Liverpsn! Daily Post, held up “The Gay Lord Quex” as the type of a play which should be con- ned by the press, describing it as a “calfous enjoyment of Coarse sin,” In which the hero- displayed “no desire or prefer- ence for what was chaste”” Piaero has written to the Times a bitter satim) on Sir Bdward, It must be a sad matter,” said the dramatist, “for so earnest. an(l indus- tribus a critic to find in the awymn . of 1t ‘critical ife his gods dlsplaced and see thé work he loudly accl d eiter for- gotten or treated with deliberate meglect. What I venture to complain of s that Sir Edward, in chagrin at the mustiners of his ideals, should allow vexation to tempt him to unfairness toward a work to which he brings almost of necessity an Wnperfect understanding.” Pinero challenges Sir Bdward to prove his uurtlou by extracts from the play, adding "nqt the comedy does mot” bulong to the school, which labels each of its char- cters wolt or lamb and that it seeks 'to deplct mén and wpmen as they are, Dot wholly virtuous or wholly L, T am pre- to admit.

P, Marchand, spe- clal attorney for the Interstate Commerce commission, stated tonight that caplases bad been issued for the arrest of the in- dicted men and will be served upon Mr. Burt at Saginaw, upon Mr. Bemnett at To- ledo and upon Messrs.

The act under which the bills were voted fixes. penalties of a fine,not exceoding $5,000, or imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding two years, or both, at discretion of the court. It is understood that the documents charge the officials with unlawful manipulation of rates with re- ect to flour and feed transported to east ern destinations. Evidence is said to have been adduced to show that secret rates were given to certain big millers, and that domestic flour was handled on the export rate.

There were summoned &s witnesses before the grand jury thirty prominent rallroad officials and millers of the northwest, but only three witne heard. These ‘e sald to have been a Lake Shore agent at North Amberst, 0., a flour and feed dealer at the same place and Auditor Smith of the Interstate Commerce commission. The dismissal of so large a number of important witnesses leads to the belief that a special grand jury will be summoned to take up the. matter of cut rates and preferences given to shippers with a view of punishing not only all the rallroad officials involved, but also those who accepted the preferences. It is understood that the agent of the Interstate Commerce commission secured a great deal more evidence tham he expected 'ad | Inculpating many prominent men in the northwi and that the four pending bills FIre |are but the beginning of the prosecutions. ‘e Reports are current that other rallroads will be involved.

LONDON, Sept. Nofilll impottant, it is belleved, is likely to ensw & result of the conference yesterday at the colonial office between Colonial Secretary Chamber- I8in and the Boer generals, Botha, Dewel and Delarey. There may be, however, slight medifica tions of the plans outlined for the re-settle. ment of matters in the annexed territory, but these will be in the nature of internal changes more interesting to political econ- omists than to the world at large, and sven these will ouly ocour after Mr. Chamber- Iain shall have consulted with Lord Milwer, British high commissioner in South Africa, and, after such cobsultation, have uu the matter before the cabinet. What transpired at yesterday's conferehce is little more than what happened when one of the members of the cabinet recelved a trade or other delegation in suppért of its particular views. No tople really vital to the cenquered republics, sb far &s their re- Iations to the outside world are comcerned, could be admftted to discussion. ' Such points were [rrevocably settléd when' the terms of peace weré signed. The comcesisions which the Boer gererr 1 urged Mr. Chamberlain to make were : most vitally important to individual ‘Bo¢ especially to landowners, but of compat tively small importance to the rank atd in England, except to those who,’ through {ovestment or otherwise, are difectly to: cerned In South Africa. Except for the breaking of precedents, hampering Lord Milner or antagonizing the Iiberalists.of | Cape Colony and Natal {t may be aald that Mr. Chamberlain might easily have coneeded all the generals asked.
