Cost of Elephants.

It is somewhat interesting to compare
the weights carried by elephants in ths
tin producing districts Of the Malay
peninsula with those used in the long
Journeys and mountainous country Of
the Lao states. In the peninsula the
distances are seldom more than at most
three or four days march, and the ele-
phant is expected to carry as much as
900 or 1000 pounds, besides his mahout
and howdah. The latter is often mere
brace of panniers slung together so as
to rest one on each side of the backbone
and covered sometimes with light
barrel roof of bark. 4 good tusker car
rying 91a hundredweight will fetch
about e56, and female which can bear
eight hundredwcigh is worth about
e45.
In the Lao states, where journeys OF
ten days or three weeks are frequent,
the average weight hardly exceeds 3OO
pounds, or one-third of what is usual II
the peninsula The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Me Kawng and
in Muang Nan in 1898, good tusket
could be had for t32 and q female foI
e24. At Chieng Mai, where good teak
hauling elephants are in great demand,
a tusker may fetch s150 and female
anything from $50 to e10O, according
to her strength and ability.-Geograph'

Longstreet on shafter.

Among those who have commented
| on Skaters management OF the San
tiago campaign is Ger. James Long
street While in Chicago Tuesday
he was interviewed on the conduct Of
the war with Spain.
Fe declared that disaster TO the
American arms, similar in some re-
spects to Nspoleon's experience at
Moscow, was sverted at Santiago
only by some lucky accident
"It'e certain that eomebody blum
dered," he remarked, "and | believe
the bIunderer was Gen. Shafter. it
might have gone hard with shafter' 8
men if Admiral Cervera had been al.
lowed to follow his own judgment
and remain in Santiago barbor to co.
operate with she Spanish land forces
in an engagement with the Ameri.
cans ! even believe our land forces
would have been repuIsed
'.Chance circumstances alone such
as lack of food and confidence among
the Spaniards, decreed that the fate
of our men should not be as have
described If city is to be carried
by storm it is indispensable that the
assailants haze sufficient strength.
The advance of Shafier's army on
Santiago was ill considered from
| nearly all points Of view The con
due: of the troops was admirable aud
little less than heroic than the action
of Pickett's troops at Gettysburg or
of Meagher brigade at Fredericks
burg, The Rough Riders fame ought
to be secure They charged on foot
instead of horseback, but otherwise
they are types of the heroes Of Bal
aklava .
Gen LoDgstreet said that it might
have been prolonged for many months
if Shafter had sustained even a tenn
porary reverse at Santiago BE re-
| marked that, while there is no adequate
parallel between the struggle OF the
Civil war and the combat with Spain,
he recognized that the recent feats of
naval warfare under Dewey aud
Schley have never been surpassed
for dash and brilliaacy He criticised
little save the Santiago campaign
He spoke in comaendation of Gen
| Miles campaign in Porto Rico. and
said it was his firm belief that Miles
is field tactician and strategist OF
great ability.
Tie veteran, who is Republican
in politics. declared he is uncon
promisingy opposed to policy OF
conquest or Imperialism for this ma
tion, laughingly remarking that bis
detestation of conquest may be ga
legacy 10 the blood" acquired during
his early utilization with the Demo-
cratic party. He termed the im
perialistic tendency as un-American
aud unwise, besides being of doubt

desire to break world pledges
"Peace with bouor might be OBJ
tanned through conquest" be said,
..but would be honor rooted in dis.
honor"
Freedom for Cuba. a reasonable
war indemnity and half dozen coal
ing stations throughout the East and
West Indies, are favored by Gen
Longstreet ss the terms OF peace for

LEE COUNTY.
TWO IMPORTANT RUL-
INGS IN THE CASE.

Before q Decision is Rendered.

Iwo orders were received yester-

Iver by Clerk Brooks Of the supreme
court in the case of Lee county,
which was argued before the court
on the I'd instant. and which will be
Of special interest to all those both
for aud against the new county
One of the issues at question was
whether the referee should take testi-
money az TO the real result Of the
election, or whether the result as as
certained and reported by the com
Dissioners of election should be the
oily fac.s referred TO the referee. The
court held the latter. which was one
of the contentious of those opposing
Lee county.
Il looks now as though the su-
preme court would decide against
the legality Of the new county, if the
referee should report that two thirds
of she votes in Darlington county
were not in favor of Lee county, as
reported BY the commissioners of
election for Darlington
