The WAR IN SOUTHERN AFRIcA.-The- Brit
ish Cape colony, originally settled by the Dutch,
but captured from them by the English, has an
area of about 1000 square miles, to population
OF about 100000. The population of Cape Town,
the capital of Southern Africa, is upwards of
10000. Grahaln's Town, near the eastern
tremty of the colony is the only remaining one of
any Importance. Here are stationed the Govern
ment troops, on the borders of Caifraria, for the
protection of the frontier. From this point to the
northeast extends the Kafir territory following
the line of the sea-coast. The kaffirs described
by Hugh Murray, in his Encyclopaedia of Geogra,
phy, as extremely handsome in their external
appearance, and completely pastoral in their habits,
The men, especially, tall and muscular, and the
females, though less beautiful, possess features
almost European, and vivacous and intelligent eyes
Their skin is deep glossy brown color The
men are employed in raising cattle, and milk is the
chief subsistence Of all classes A cow is never
killed except high occasions. Their King i.
| said to have force OF $4,000 men constant,
| equipped for war, and, on urgent OCCASIONS car
| arm 100000 men, who, it is presumed, compris,
the entire adult male population. 1t is with thes,
people, aided by the Hottentots, that the Brtisl
colonists are now eontending, and with whom the,
have had some hard fighting with uniavorabl
results.

The Progress OF Great Britain.

AT this time, when the census returns of our own
country form subject of much gratifying com
nent, it may not be unneresting to learn some
thing of the condition of Great Britain. The cor
respondent of the National Inteigencer has fur
nished several columns OF statistical information,
from which we select the more import1ni items.
Ia 1900. the population Of Great Britain and Ire
land was Is, ,i30 GOO, in 1850, % 100000 The
tonnage of 1900 was ,370, 900 1850, 50 900.
Raw cotton consumed, (lS00) $1,000 900 lbs !;
now, T75 900 lbs; cotton manufactures ex-
ported $500 72 900 900 yards now ,223, 500 900
yards coal consumed In 1900, 1860 600 tons ;
now, IS, 900 tons; exported, 10000, 1847)
800 600 The table shows that within fifty years,
the population has doubled, imports have trebed,
and exports have increased more than eight fold
and prOducts more than ten fold. Canals tlS00)
100 miles (lSi9) 2,20O.
RAfLwaYs.-Tbere are now 5000 miles, at the
cost of f50, 0,0C0 900, or more than $50 millions
of dollars receiving a revenue of El2 900 GOO
sterling conveying 1000 900 passengers, and sup
porting 80 900 persons, employees. The Clyde
was the first steamboat in 1911 the number now
is 1858, of l6S, ,07S The value Of raal estate
in 1903 was E967 ,294 900; in 1912 it Il 800, },
0OO, 900, or ten thousand million of dollars. The
amount of incomes under ESQ in 1900 was f232,
24O, 600 /; in lS4S, f3I ,743, $50.
TAxArIoN,-In 1900 population of 100000
paid f63 900 900, or GA 4s, per head. In 1850,
80 OoO,C0O pay f5OOOO, 900, or fl lbs, Cd. pei
head
These facts show that the ctIdiion Of the Brit
ish people is rapidly improving The recent ex
cess of revenue over expenses is another cheering
fact 1t is true that these returns do not by an,
means show such wonderful proofs of development
as mark our career, but yet they sufficiently
encouraging to convince every candid mind that
in spite of much poverty and social abuse, the Brit
ish nation shows no decay.

A Lone PAssAGE-The ship Warren, Captain
Lawton, which arrived on Wednesday night has
been one hundred and seven days on her passage
hither from Glasgow. She had sixty passengers,
who have all, strange to say, been in good health
during the whole passage. The vessel experienced
violent gales, from the 18th of December to the
7th of January, in which she unshipped her rudder
and sprung leak. From the 9th to the 22d OF
January, she hoated about at the mercy OF winds
and waves, without a rudder. The crew. finally
succeeded in constructing rudder out Of a hemp
cable, which enabled them to direct the movements
OF the ship. Fortunately they fell in with severa
vessels, which supplied them with provisions, an.
enabled them to reach port in safety. New forl
