The removal will be private, only the trustees of the monument, state officers and representatives of the press being present.

April 12.-The British Wr.r Office ha3 Issued tho following special order regarding surrenders in the tield: "Any otficer or soldier who, when In the presence of the tneniy, displays a white Haj or other token of surrender, will be tried by general court-martial." A news agency yesterday published a dispatch from Cape Town received by thy Frankfurter Zeitung purporting to be a true picture of the present situation ia South Africa and confirming a Reuter dispatch on the same subject cabled to the Associated Press on Wednesday. The dispatch says that General De Wet is so distracted by the hopelessness of his cause that he can be truthfully described as Insane. He goes in fear of his life amid his own troops, and keeps himself surrounded night and day by a bodyguard of chosen adherents. From his own ranks voices aic new more frequently heard calling imperatively for peace. No further news has been received regarding the reported resumption of peace negotiations In South Africa, but the fact that the censor allowed the report to pass, ünd the fact that the government has not issued n denial, are held to prove that negotiations of some sort are In progress. the casualty list issued yesterday revealed th fact that Lord Methuon was discharged from the hospital last week, this being the lirst notiiication that he had been ill. There Is no information from South Africa beyond the fact that the Hrltish have evacuated Hoopstadt. which, the Daily Mall observes, "seems to show that Lord Kitchener's force Is still none too strong." It is announced from Brussels that the Dutch Transvaal committee has handed to Mr. Kruger a check for l.ooo.wu florins, collected in Holland for the assistance of tho Roers. It appears that Mr. Kruger's entourage assert that the route from Leydsdoran to Zoutspansburg Is heavllv fortified . and able to resist the British a long time. RUNNIN3 RACE WINNERS.

The Prussian railway authorities are making experiments with American car couplers at Erfurt. The Lokal Anzeiger and the Frankfurter Zeitung confirm the revert that 5.0"x of the workmen of Herr Krupp have been dismissed, including 3.000 who were employed in the cannon works. The congress of French miners opened in Lens yesterday. Unless the French government agrees to bring In an eight-hour1 dfy bill the delegates will probably vote for a general strike. The LondoYi Post says It Is rumored that an Alexandria firm of cotton brokers has failed with liabilities reported to amount to 250.0vW, while it is said that the assets show on paper a margin of JioO.coO. Owing to the anti-foreign feeling among Its one hundred employes, and their rejected demand thatUhe company discharge its Italian foreman, the Utica Cabinet Company, of Knoxvllle, Tenn., has been compelled to close down. Unless the engineers, firemen and water tenders at the plants of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, at Youngstown, O., are granted Increases in wages, ranging from 15 to 35 cents per day, they threaten to strike next Monday. A strike would throw about three thousand men out of employment. The Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers' Association, in session at Columbus, hau inerted a provision in the constitution providing for the payment of $200 on the death ol a member who has been in good standing for one year, and $'5 on the death of the wife of a member. The benefits will be paid by assessment. The Glasgow, Scotland, municipal committee has recommended the awarding of a big contract to an American steel company for the supplying of a, 4 50 tons of rails and fish plates, worth $110,700, fur the municipal street-railway of Glasgow. Fully nine-tenths of the lirst equipment of the road, amounting to mjO.Ooo, was purchased in the United States. The Lorain Steel Company, of Ohio, will get the order. In the course ofa long article on Wallstreet speculation.' the Frankfurter Zeltung says: "The present boom bears the stamp of a wild and highly unsound movement, resembling the Vienna speculative craz of 1S73. The greatest caution should be exercised by German Investors." The article attracted much attention on the Berlin Dourse yesterday and caused a break In values. The report of the General Electric Company for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31 shows profits of $6,243.72 after deducting expenses and allowing for depreciation and losses. Dividend and interest payments reduco the balance to $4.275.502. which has been added to the previous surplus, making It $.6253. Orders received aggregated $27.i6t,541, and the balance sheet thows assets, exclusive of factory plants, of $l,2.V),oA) in excess of the capital stock outstanding. Arthur Keen, chairman of Guest, Keer.e fc Co.. limited, and E. Windsor Richards, cne of the directors of the same company, which has extensive works for the manufacture of iron and steel at Dowlais, Cardiff and Newport. South Wales, and Birmingham, England, are in New York. The object of their visit to this country is to ascertain what may. In their opinion, be the outcome of the American steel combination and what effect it will have on the Iron and steel trades of Great Britain. After a two days' session the committee of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor selected to arbitrate the complaint of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union against Victor F. Lawsoa, publisher of the Chicago !aily News, yesterday rendered a decision. The decision is a recommendation that the pre.-smen and assistants olficially d clar-? off the boycott n the News. Unless the ressmen shall have taken this action, the decision states that the council Is not warranted In attempting to settle any other isSU'. There Is trouble brewing between th' manufacturing potters of the country an 1 their employes, particularly with respect to the Western potteries. Tlie men who are employed In the Western potteries ardissatisfied because, as they claim, the scale of wages agreed on by the manufacturers and the men has not been put m full operation. The men lit tho West are endeavoring t have their national organization call all the men out if the manufacture! b do not ajjrro to their demands. The lr.en who comprise !he Trenton, N. J., end of the organization are opposed to thü

movement, because they have no special grievance. The new United States Steel Corporation and the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Stcd and Tin Workers are to wage their lirst light to-day. The Pittsburg district of the executive board of the Amalgamated Association met on Thursday and decided to call out all employes of the W. Dewees wood plant of the American Sheet Steel Company, of McKecsport. Monday next unless all discharged men since the middle of last week were reinstated. It was also decided to strike at ence if other men of the- association were di. -charged before then. After this action three more men were given thrir choice of renouncing the association or losing their positions. Upon learning of this action the strike was declartd at once. American manufacturers of fire-prevent-icg and extinguishing apparatus may los? a rare and valuable opportunity through

their unaccountable lndiiierence to the specinl international exposition of that whale class of apllance.-i and methods which is to be held at Berlin during the coming jummer. So states Consul General Frank Mason, at Frankfort, in a report to the State Department. In order to facilitate American exhibits arrangements recently have been made by which all machinery and apparatus intended for exhibition not only will be admitted free of duty, but will be brought from New York to Hamburg and Bremen and returned after the exposition by Gerrmin steamship lines free of charpo for freight and handling. The only expense from the American point of shipment will be the ordinary railway freight rate firm Bremen or Hamburg to Berlin. The exhibit will open about May 13 and continue until the end of August. LOYAL LEGION ADJOURNS. It Firnt Approves Several Important Chnnftea In the Constitution. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 11. The congress and reunion of the Military Order of the Loyal legion adjourned to-day to meet In San Francisco on the Wednesday suecoeiiinK the Sth day of April. 130G. Most of the session to-day was devoted to the consideration of amendments to the constlj tut ion, all of the amendments recommended by the committee being adopted. Most of thet-e broaden the scope of membership, and are practically designed to admit veterans of the SpanL-h-Ainerlcan war who possess the other qualifications. It makes eligible to membt rshlp of the first class those who ferved in the civil war as enlisted men or warrant oificers in the regular or volunteer army, navy or marine corps of the United States. Heretofore the "subsequent commissions" recognized have been restricted to those in the regular army. INCOME AND FRANCHISE TAX. M. K. Ingnlls's View of the EnsieM Wny to Raise Revenue. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 11. President M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four Railroad, sneaking at a dinner of the Knife and Fork Club, to-night, advocated the income tax and the franchise tax. "Wc are just learning." said Mr. Ingalls. "that a franchise tax is the easiest collected of any, and probably one of the fairest ways of raising revenue. Of course, those who manage corporations will object, as everybody does, to paying taxes, but, nevertheless, it is right and proper. Those that have the protection of the State should L'ur their share of its burdens. I have always believed in an Income tax and have thought that the decision of our Supreme Court against the constitutionality of such a tax was one of the most unfortunate occurrences of the age. We should have a tax on ail incomes, large or small, exempting a moderate amount, as most of the States exempt a certain amount of property from execution and levy- This country is so rich that, with a fair system of taxation and economy In expenditures the tax rate will be so low that it will not be oppressive, and thus you will encourage and protect your small property holders." MARINE HAPPENINGS. The United States cruiser Buffalo has arrived at Colombo. The steamer Iceland reached St. Johns, N. F.. last evening with 20.000 seals. The steamer Greenland, which has gone to the rescue of the crew of the Hope, is expected to reach Bryon Island, in tho Gulf of 3t. Lawrence, to-night and to embark the castaways on (Saturday. The eight torpedo boat destroyers recently sent from Devonport. England, for an experimental crulre of three weeks, hav-i returned to that port In a crippled condition. This leads to the conclusion tnat they ate too lightly constructed. Th United Steamship Company will start a new steamship service between Copenhagen and the Danish West Indies, by way of Holland. England and the United States. This service will be inaugurated whether the Danish West Indies are sold or not. The transport Arab, which sailed from San Francisco March 31 for Manila with seven hundred hoises. returned to port yesterday, lnst Thursday, when the Arab waabout 1,20) miles off Port Taylor, she was discovered to be leaking and Captain Wills put back for repairs. The transport Garonne, which sailed from Manila on March Owith all the Twenty-sixtn Volunteer Infantry except Company F. has not so far been reported at San Francisco. This has not yet caused apprehension at the War Department, as she is a slow vessel and may be a week behind the other transports. The annual meeting of the shareholders of thei Cunard Line Steamship Company, at London, was marked by an unusual incident. A shareholder demanded that a committee of Independent shareholders be appointed to inquire into the policy and position of the company, declaring that the profits were made solely from transport work and thit another war and more butchering would be required to assure future dividends. The motion was not adopted, but the report, recommending a 5 per cent, dividend and a 3 per cent, bonus, was adopted. Vessels cannot be held liable for tho loss of life on account of negligence, according to the decision of the United States Court of Appeals, at Chicago, in the Mary I). Ayer-t)noko ease. Recovery can only be had against the owners of the craft, there being no lien against the vessel itself. The case arose over the collision between the steamer Onnko and schooner Mary D. Ayer, on Lake Michigan, two years ago. The Ayer went down, carrying three of Its crew. Suits were instituted for $15,000 against the steamer and it is these suits that have just been defeated. Numerous similar suits are pending around the lakes, and, under the court's ruling, it is expected that they will be dropped. Movement of Stemuer. NEW YORK. April 11.
