WASHINGTON, June 1.—The officials of BOXERS PREPARE FOR SLAUGHTER | Uprising in Southwest China Causes a New Alarm. | | | | VICTORIA, B. C., June 1.—Advices re- ceived by the steamer Clavering state that in Southwest China a new Boxer | insurrection has broken out, led by Mo- chihing, who killed his wife and family. Others emulated his example before the campaign commenced. | The Boxers first murdered a French | ionary and later killed a Belgian and fifty Chinese officials engaged in collecting taxes were killed. A church destroyed at Wei Hien, where a na- killed and a large were slaughtered. of | Troops were sent against the Boxers, who { number converts defeated them. The rebels are credited with a programme of overrunning Honan | and Shantung and then making for Pek- | ing. They are well armed. Peking correspondents say the Semi- foreign uniformed soldiers of Yuan Shih | Kal who guarded the imperial cortege en route to the eastern tombs created a reign of terror on the way, the villagers mistaking .them for foreign troops. The country people fled as soon as the pen- nants were seen. News was received that | the organization of a_ police force has | been commenced at Wuchang, and an Englishman, Charles Preston, has been engaged in Shanghai as superintendent. The police will number 600. It has been | further decided to organize a police force | in Hankow with an American as super- | intendent. |, Cerrespondents in_South China report | the defeat of the Kwangsi rebels near | Nanning and the capture of Sung Yung Seng, leader.

Official notice of the signing of the terms_of surrender came to Mr. Raikes. the British charge here, in a cablegram from the foreign | office. Tt was very brief, and was in ac- | cord with the statements’ contained in the | press dispatches. It probably will be com- municated formally to the United States Government to-morrow. Nothing official has reached the state department from Embassador Choate at London or any other source. President Roosevelt wag furnished a copy of the press dispatch, glving the news of the signing of the articles of surrender. The impression prevails in official cir- cles that the terms of surrender named by the British in their negotlations with the Boers have been very liberal in char- acter, perhaps from the dnuhfe desire to bring the war to a close and to have this happy event formally proclaimed before the coronation of King Edward. | From a commercial point of view the | cessation of hostilities will result ben- eficially to American exports to South | Africa, the reports issued from time to time by the foreign commerce bureau of the state department showing that they have suffered considerably since the be- ginning of the war. PRAISE FOR THE PATRIOTS. PARIS, June 2—The news of peace in South Africa reached Paris too late for publication ia the afternoon papers, and did not become generally known yesterday | evening and hence caused no excitement, This morning’s papers, howevér, give due prominence to dispatches announcing the fact and describing the way the news was received in London. The comments | of the press are mostly tinged with re- gret at the fallure of the Boers to se- cure independence, and highly praise the courage and tenacity of the defeated pegple. The Figaro bélieves that, after aston- Ll o HE awful desolation that broeds over the ruins oft St. Pierre, which was rased by a vol- canic blast, is graphically told in the pictures above. The photographs, from which the illustrations’ are reproduced, werc taken by the camera ex- perts attached to the expedi- tion sent to Martinique by The Call and New York Herald. (Copyright, 1902, by the New York Hcrald ' Publishing Company.) o - ishing the world by their resistance, the Boers doubtless have obtained a legiti- mate consecration of their efforts and that it is not an unconditional submis- sion to hich the delegates have just consented, ¥ The Gauolis Tejoices at the end of the war, but takes exception to the word “capitulation” in Lord Kitchener's dis- patch, saying that “The Boers retain for posterity one of the noblest examples of Lernlsm. Their intrepid defense will be one of the finest epics of contemporary history. What matters if Botha. Dewet and Delarey struck the flag? They have covered it with so much glory that the whole world owes it a salute, full of re- spectful emolument and admiration.” The Matin says: “Europe will to-day give a great sign of relief at the deliv- erance from the encrmous weight that op- pressed its consclence. Whatever the conditiong of this peace there will be for history in this war neither conquerors nor conquered. The Boers have won a peace in our era that ancient empires had not obtained. This conquest is worth all the others.” X Gre INTEREST ON BONDS. Former President Kruger’s Procla- mation Is Reversed. PRETORIA, June 1.--A proclamation which was issued yesterday in connec- tion with the signing of the peace terms last night declares that, notwithstand- ing the proclamations of Mr. Kruger that interest on the bonds of the Transvaal republic would be suspended so long as the war lasted, such interest shall begin to_accrue on June 1.

CHICAGO, June 1.—S8:ccess having at- tended the efforts of Franklin MacVeagh, president of the National Civic Federa- tion, in his intercession with the Union Traction Company on behalf of the street- car employes, the differences of the strik- Ing stockyard teamsters.are to be taken up in the same fashion. At a meeting of the Federation of Labor to-night it was said that an appeal should be made to James H. Eckies, president of the Com- mercial National Bank, to take up the teamsters’ cause with the packers. Mr. Eckles -is a member of the industrial committee of the Natlonal Civic Federa- | tion. The executive committee of the Pack- ers’ Association held a secret conference to-day, but refused to make the object of the meeting public. Another meeting will be held. to-morrow. : Under the cover of Sunday quiet tite packers scored heavily on the striking teamsters and succeeded in filling all their distributing stations about town, except these, in the Fulton market. The move by the packers came unexpectedly. All was done quietly an@ quickly. The cac- loads of meat which have been standing or. sldetracks were sent to the stations and unloaded, ice was brought from the yards on the cars and by evening all was ready for to-morrow’s business. ‘The coup of the packers brings the strike to an acute issue. Up to the pres. ent time the strikers have been informing all who dared to get their meat from these companies that if such a course should be continued their ice s\:fizply would be cut off. ith some of the distributing stations closed and others with an ade- quate supply of meat, the butchers have Leen unwilling to takeé the risk and have let their meat reserve run low. The appeal will be made to-morrow. FEARS MORGAN'S ONE-MAN POWER Wall - Street Movement to Safeguard Vast Interests. NEW YORK, June 2.—The World says: At several conferences held yesterday by men powerfui in Wall street the problem of having dependent upon the health and judgment of any one man such gigantic interests as are now being guarded by J. Pierpont Morgan was seriously/discussed. The object of these conferences was to safeguard not only the many enterprises with which Morgan is connected, but also to protect other financial interests in which Wall street is concerned. No attack on Morgan has been involved in these conferences. His pre-eminence in Wall street has not been questioned, nor as his handling of the vast affairs com- mitted to his charge been criticized. The entire discussion, it was pointed out last night, has turned on this point: “Is it judicious and in accordance with conservative finance to have such vast in- terests bound up in any one man, be he Mr. Morgan, John Doe or any one else?" Various plans for arousing all classes of financial men to the seriousness of the situation have been under discussion at the conferences referred to. This discus- sion, of course, has been Known to Mr. Morgan's partners in this city, and it is understood that the essential phases of it have been sent to the absent financier thsrough lhish Lflndodn house. everal thousand copies of a if was learned last might, ar gg;?,!;h':;; distribution with the opening of the mar. ket this morning.
