one other was, killed out of mercy.

a thbag as a car of cattle on fire was

REWARD FOR THEIR CAPTURE.

the Burglars.
A despatch from Toronto says :-The
provincial authorities have decided to
take another important step in the
efforts to recapture Pare and Hold-
en, the Napanee bank burglars and
gaol -breakers. A circular has been is-
sued from the Attorney General's de-
partment, offering a substantial re-
ward for the arrest of either or both
of the runaway thieves, and it is hoped
by this means that their ultimate cap-
ture will be rendered more probable.
The circular contains full descripe
tines of the two men and of the cloth-
ing worn ny them at the time of their
midnight flitting from the hospitality
of Napanee's gaol. It gives all infor-
mation that might be of assistance in
their identification, and offers a sub-
stantial sum for their arrest. The
amounts of the proffered rewards are
b$500w0 for either of them and 61,000 for
Several thousands of copies of the
circular have been printed, and for-
warded to the police authorities in all
centres of ' importance throughout Can-
ada and the United States, to the var-
ious detective agencies, to the crimin-
al *departments, of the various prov-
inceand States, and, in fact, to every
person OT Offielal to whom the infor-
mation is likely to prove of value, or
the reward an incentive to activity in
the search.
HONG KONG AGAIN.
The 'British Authorities Have to Take
strong ;mean req.
A despatch from.Hong Kong, says
The native opposition to the ocoupatioia
by British forces of the new territory,
Kow Loon, opposite Hong Kong, has
suddenly been renewed. About nine
hundred men of the Hong Kong Regi-
ment, with machine guns, are left
here on Monday night, while the vol-
unteers have been warned to be in
readinees for any emergency. The Brit-
ish sceond-class gunboat Swift, acoom-
panied by three other gunboats, is pro-
ceeding to sea under sealed orders.
These warships have five hundred men
on board.
The territory back of the hinterland
is also disturbed, and Chinese troops
have been sent there.
TWO THOUSAND BRITISH -
Later -In all, 1,350 infantry soldiers,
100 artillerymen, 50 engineers and 500
marines have gone to the 'Kew loon
hinterland. The greatest secrecy is ob-
served as to the plans of the British
authorities, and nothing is definitely
known regarding the actual destina-
tion of the trope, but it sores evident
that two detachments of troops will
advance on Tal -Po -Fu ,and. Deep Bay,
cut off the rebels and drive them from
the ceded territory. The gun vessels
engaged in the operationshave been
provisioned for eight days. Troops are
patrolling the European quarter of
Kow Loon. It ie reported that rebels
from Tung -Kung invaded British ter-
ritory Sunday evening and that two
armed gangs robbed the City of Kow
Loon. Hong Kong itself is quiet.

(Probably connected with a mysterious
despatch received at Johannesburg
from Pretoria on May 12, saying a
special train fully equipped with Boer
artillerymen, guns and a searchlight
apparatus was being held in readiness
at the capital of the Transvaal. The
statement was then declared to be
without significance, but Tuesday's
news throws a more serious light On
the movement, and. it is certain there
will be a great sensation in London
when the news of the arrests becomes
generally known. ,
CAPE GOVERNMENT DELIBERAT-
ING.
The afternoon newspapers print
special despatches from Cape Town,
saying seven nem have been arrested
at Johannesburg and have been taken

Boer's Johannesburg organ, which pub-
lishes an edition in London, has a de-
spatch frora Pretoria which says that

torney and were executed at midnight.

bellion is alleged to have been matur-
ing for four months and that the ac-
cused, whq are said to have been en-
gaged. by the South African League,

public and Sir Alfred Milner, Gover-
nor of Cape Colony and British High

ing the grievances of the ,Uitlanders in
the Transvaal, have culminated finally
in an arrangement for a conference
which will probably be held in Cape
Town.
THE BUFFALO STRIKE.
Business of the t.ort RCIIIIIIIIS Paralyzed:-
Shovellers' Demands SatisRed-LOther

A despatch from Buffalo, says: -
There is practically no change in the
strike situation along the docks, and
the business of the port is at a stand-
still. An agreement was reached on
Tueeday between Contractor Connors
and the striking grain shovellees, by
which both the men who had stood by
the contractor and the strikers were
to be taken into the new Grain Shovel-
lers' -Union. This pra,etically settIeld
all the existing trouble, as far as the
grain men were concerned., but as
they have pledged themselves not to
reture to work until the grievanoes ef
the striking freight hatdIers, eonl
heavers, ore dockteen and elevator

is no telling, when work on the docks

TWELVE IONTHS KARRIED
COLBORT OLIVIER MURDERS HIS
WIFE AT SOREL, QUE,
The Pair ilad Not Lives isapaily together
aud find Severai Times steep Saparat.
A despatch from Montreal &see :--A
horelble murder was orimanted at
Sorel, on the St. Lawrenee, a short dis-
Innen belew Montreal, about noon on
Thursday. Calbort 0-ivier had a quer-
rel with his wife and killed her. After
committing the crane he called at the
Roman Catholic presbytery and told
the prie,sb ip attendanue of the crime.
He then surrendered himself to the
police. The obief ef police had the
coroner notified, and tben Olivier's
house was visited. The door was found
lock4d, but it was eaeily foreeti. On
the floor of the baelx room the body
of Nrs. °tinier, nee Adeline Pelocruin,
wan foand in a balf-neked condition,
earl partly covered by an old Union
Jack. On the right temple a deep but
narrow wound was distiovered, in her
right, hand had been placed rather
clumsily a pair ef large scissors.
The house in which the murder was
conamttted is a small frame bulidiag,
15 feet square, and divided into two
rooms. The front room was used as
a store, and the back room, wbere the
body was found, was used as a bed -
ram, kitchen, and general living
room Evidently there had been a
struggle before the woman was killed,
for ()Ryler himself has wounds and
&crannies on his face. There were also
scratches and. small wounds on the
body of the murdered woman.
MARRIED A YEAR AGO.
Olivier is a pensioner of the United,
States, army, having served in the civil
war. He was raarried,to the murdered
woman only a year ago, she being his
second wife. They did not get along
well together, and witbin two weeks
after their marriage they separated.
Their differences were patched up, but
withiP the year they have been re-
united and separated three times. One
of these reoonoiliations took place two
days ago.
Olivier, the murderer, is said by those
who are intimate with him to be a
man with a terrible temper, and it is
reported tha,t his first wife used to at
times sleep with a revolver under her
pillow, so afraid was she of being M-
used by hem. it would appear that
the murderer's first movement after
committing the deed, which hanpened
shortly before 11 o'clock, was flight,
and that the scissors were placed in
the murdered woman's hand to indi-
ca Lb 'suicide.
BIG GERMAN LINER ON FIRE.
The Fire Was Discovered Jut After Leav-
ing New Fork Barbour.
A despatch from New York, says: -
Fire was discovered in the hold of the
North German Lloyd mailsteamer Bar-
barossa Pet as she was' passing the
Narrows on Thursday morning, out-
ward bound. "Ship on fire; want im-
mediate assistance," was run aloft,
which was flashed•to the city by the
marine observers. Captain Richter
put the vessel about and made for
port.
On rounding the battery it was
necessary to slacken speed and hug the
New York shore, because of the num-
ber of craft on, the river. .A.s soon as
she neared the ferry slips, a Christop-
her street ferry boat slipped out. The
Barbarassa had to dodge this, and also
it cattle ship. Then. appeared the
United States mail boat and an
Elie lighter, Ihe Barbarossa struck
the ligater and sustained a bent
prow. This threw her into the slips.
'the side of the vessel struck the end
of pier 41, throwing her bow into the
French liner La 13retagne, whieh lay
at the dock. She struck with, such
force that La Bretagne was stove in.
She was rammed so hard that all of
the gangways and freight skids were
smashed into splinters. Her prow was
run clear through the barge Foster,
sinking that boat immediately, and
rammed the barge Leroy so badly that
she- sank within a short time.
The Barbarossa was hauled off, and
still turning iiercely below decks, taken
across the river to her dock in Hobo-
ken. Her cotton -laden compartment
was fluoded, and about, nine o'clock at
night the fire was extinguished.
The Barbarosa carried 500 salooxt
and intermediate passengers, several
hundred steerage, and a crew of 250.
