Just what recognition OF belligerency
accomplishes Is not exactly clear, nor
does it appear to be thoroughly estab-
lished In the international law.
Its chief benefit TO party situated as
are the insurgents in Cuba would seem to
be of the kino that is described as moral
influence. They would gain, according
to generally accepted authority, the great
moral advantage OF possessing a recognized
status, by contrast TO being outlaws or
rebels, and the opportunity to employ
commissioned cruisers at sea, sailing
under a national flag, and to exert all the
powers known to maritime warfare. OF
course the recognition by one nation does
not imply similar recognition and re-
spect for their arms, flag or ships by any
other nation. Loans and war material
may be obtained but the latter are now
available to the insurgents, as any other
kind of merchandise. Neutrality
laws, themselves somewhat indefinite,
would have to be recognized as before, but
by the country that recognizes the belli-
gerency OF party in conflict the flag Of
such party is acknowledged, its revenue
laws are respected and it acquires politi-
cal standing that would doubtless be of
benefit in enabling the party SO recog-
nized to more readily float a war loan.
There are obligations, however, that
must be assumed by an independent state
thus recognized as belligerent, and one
of the n ost important OF these is that it
is responsible for the acts Of its people as
affecting neutral property, response
bility that in the present situation in
Cuba is on the shoulders of Spain which
holds itself responsible for acts OF the
Cuban outlaw as ii could not be held for
acts OF the Cuban State.

As more OF the details OF the story of
the march OF the British freebooters into
the Transvaal Republic are produced in
evidence, it appears more and more clear
that the pluck and dash with which that
incident has been invested by British
prose ana British Laureate poetry was by
no means so conspicuous with the raiders
as it was with the Beers, who, like the
minute men of Lexington, hurried to
the defence of their country and their
homes.
JAMEsoN's troops rode into the Trans
vaal land expecting TO make their way to
Johannesberg which they thought to find
safely in possession of the Uitlandtrs, the
foreign residents. The raid was not SO
much raid as it was a representation In
force of the outside government and OF
Great Britain itself. The residents within
the territory seem to have been relied
upon to have accomplished their revolu-
tion by the time the JAMESON contin-
gent should appear, but rs it happened
the rebellion had collapsed and JANE
SONS force found itself only body OF
foreigners engaged in the act of invading
with arms peaceful and friendly nation.
Instead OF being possible representatives
of the colonial government and of i'm
perial England, they were nothing more
or less than freebooters.
II there was any heroism in connection
with this ridiculous raid 1t belongs to
the Dutch farmers who bottled the in
vaders. The Beers rode farther and rode
harder and fought harder and more
skiliully than JAMEsoN's men who seem
not to have shown any qualities to entitle
them to the heroics that are made of the
incident in London. Field Cornet
CRoNGE Of the Boer army rode out of
klerksdorp, on the border of the Orange
Free State, picking up men on the way
and leading them to ,Krugersdorp. An
other officer at the head of 60 men made a
forced march of Is hours and joined
CRoNGE's command In time to be of SER
vice. Only about one hundred and fifty
men had assembled when fire was open
ed on JAMEsoN's column and these
hardy fellows had ridden night and day
to reach Krugersdorp. Meanwhile the
alarm had spread and the Boer farmers,
singly, or in small parties as they could be
assembled, without loss of time, sprang to
the saddle and rode through the rough
country to join their patriotic fellow
countrymen. The whole affair In its feat.
ures almost duplicates the story Of the
American minute men. The fight was q
running battle for 25 miles, the Beers from
ambush picking off the raiders as they
marched and holding them in band
while avoiding open battle until their
numbers had increased to 1900 or more
and the raiding party was at their mercy.
The Boer women offered to GO to the
scene OF conflict "if any more men were
wanted" and the whole country was in
arms.
All this indicates that the JAMESON he
roes are of the Pinchbeck kind.

COLOR LINE DRAWN.

Proposition to Put Negro on the Bishops
 Bsnch summarily Disposed Of.
 NEW YORK, April a-The color line was distinctly visible for a short time in yesterdays session of New York's Methodist Episcopal conference. It was precipitated by resolution of Rev. Delos Lull, which recommended that the general conference take un- der consideration the advisability and expediency of putting a colored man on the bench of bishops. This was characterized by Rev. c. H. McAnenny as an attempt at special legisla. tion for the colored race, many of whom, he said. had shown themselves ungrateful for favors re. ceived. ''rake Fred Douglass" con. tinued Dr. McAnenny, "who was held up as an ideal man by those of his race. In what way did he benefit them? And when he died, did he leave penny for their Improvement" Several other members spoke in the same strain, after which the resolution disappeared from sight without having been put to 8 vote or laid upon the table.

This Means the Establishment sf Regalar

 WASHINGTON, April. a-The Chinese government has decided to enter into the postal union. The entranes of China into the universal postal union would mean the operation of all the regularly organized governments of the world, save the Orange Free State in Africa, under one postal treaty. The adhesion of China to the big postal compact would necessitate the estab- lishment of regular domestic postal system in China, which now has only a crude scheme by which letters are re- ceived at private offices and distributed by private carriers. It would also put the Chinese empire in regular postal communication with the rest of the world. The request for an admission probably will be submitted at next years postal congress, and on the empires suggestion, following the precedent set by the Australian col. onies. be made to take effect imme. diately, instead of year later, as usual.

 SHAMoxIN, Pa, April 2-Mrs John Morton, of Irish Valley, was being de- % ivered of child yesterday when her daughter, MrS Hannah Foster, of Trevorton, who was at her mothers bedside, was taken sick suddenly, and also gave birth to a child. Both women occupied the same bed, and the attending physician mixed the babies. One of the children is boy and the other a girl, but, no-.. body knows which belongs to which mother. At length Mrs. Morton said she would take the girl, as she had several sons already, and would really prefer another daughter, whereas Mrs.. Foster wanted boy. As the matter stands, Mrs. Morton does not know whether she is nursing her daughter r or her granddaughter, nor does Mrs.. Foster know whether she is rearing her brother or her son.
