The foregoing statement was made by
DR.. E. Benjamon Andrews, former pres
ident of Brown university, and now SUI
perintendent of the Chicago public
schools, in his address on 1.-The War In
South Africa at the Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal church last even
ing. The occasion was the mems Sunday
forum meeting, and DR.. Andrews startled
his hearers by the declaration that in
ternational war inevitably would follow
war.
He announced that from the moment
Kruger's followers surrendered, England
necessarily would come in conflict with
other powers in carrying out It's plans
of colonization. He declared that clashes
would follow the attempt to build the
Cape to Cairo railroad and that the
contemplated effort of Great Britain to
build a railroad from the Suez canal to
Bombay, which would give that nation
a direct means of throwing munitions of
of the Euphrates, would be resisted.
The address of DR.. Andrews was
heard by an audience that packed the
chapel. Several times he referred to the
wrongs of the African people, both in
the United States and in Africa, and his
words brought out great cheering.

WINNIPEG, Man. Dec. 1S.-The news
that Canada will be asked to send an
other contingent to assist the imperial
army in the 1ransvaal is hailed with de-
light here. Hundreds Of young men have
already applied for enlistment, and ap-
plications have also been received from
young men in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, who appear anxious for adventure in
this stirring war.
The interest. in the war here is intense.
1t is, indeed, the one theme of discussion,

Speech.
LONDON, Dec 1S.-George ]. Goshen,
first lord of the admiralty, when Gistrib-
uting prizes to volunteers and riflemen
in London, this evening, said:
Il little thought when 1 - :epted this
invitation that L would address men to
whom an appeal had been made to stand
shoulder to shoulder with the regulars in
South Africa. The possession of $780, 900
volunteers will be regarded by the coun-
try as q great element Of security, and
I am confident that they are all prepared
to dc their duty. 'The colonies also are
prepared to do their share, and Canada
and Australia are welcoming the oppOr=
tunity to go to the front" Enthusiastic
cheer;ng.)
After praising the great services of the
Natal brigade assisting troops III South
Africa, and testifying to the constant
anxiety Of naval men to be in the thick
of the fighting, Mr.. Goshen said:
ut is impossible to grant their desires,
although the soldiers and sailors would
be glad to go to South Africa. in thou
sands, because when 10000 regulars have
left our shores the responsibility resting
upon our navy will be immensely in
creased.
ct believe the preparedness Of the navy
has contributed essentially to cause Brit
ons to remain calm in face of the black
outlook.
'We have not only to look at South
Africa, but at the situation and at pos
sble emergencies all around, and, with
out being an alarmist, I would insist that
We must sacrifice to the imperative duty
that every ship be fully and properly
manned"
MIR. Goshen closed with an eloquent
tribute to the unarimity Of the country
and the colonies in supporting the govern
ment in the grave crisis.

JOHNSON SHAKES BACK,
But He Didn't Improve on His First
Effort,

But He Didn't Improve ON His First
Effort.
IF subsequent is valid for a tax
title purchaser to protect his prior inter
ests, L believe the state has as good a
right to protect ITSELF" said County Au-
ditor Johnson.
Il noticed an article in the Globe
criticising me some what severely for tax
ing a decided stand on this point, and if
the assumption had been tue the criti-
cism would have been merit d. AS a mat
ter of fact, however, l was simply dis
cussing the merits of the proposition.
The question is far too deep to take any
hasty action. While l fully believe that
the state has as good a right to protect
itself by adding subseQuents as a tax
title purchaser, yet there are very grave
doubts to subseQuents being a protection
to anybody.
For ms ance, If the taxpayer fails to
pay his taxes in June a penalty of 10 per
cent is added. If he still fails to
pay them before the 1st of January, a
further penalty of per cent is added
Then judgment is asked for and the prop
erty sold in May, at which time interest
at the rate of II per cent commences.
Now, this penalty of 8 per cent is in lieu
of any interest from January to May
yet where subsequents are added, say
Jan. l, not only is the penalty of per
cent put on, but interest at 1G per cent
commences then, making double pen
atty
1T is questionable in my mind if this
would be upheld by the courts If, how
ever, a subsequent is valid for a tax title
purchaser to protect his prior interests
l believe the state has an equal righs to
protect itself. intend to investigat Il IS
and get the advice of competent author
1ty. One thing is certain, If these sub
Sequents could be added for the state
1t would save the county macy thousands
OF dollars in court and sheriffs' fees
where judgment is asked each year.
"Of course, where, these taxes are final
ly paid by the owner, all these expenses
fall upon him, but it would remove that
burden from the taxpayer in such a case
and where settlements are made, such as
IN the case of the North ST. Paul Land
company. In this instance we received
$4,000 In full of all payments, although the
county of Ramsey had expanded in judg
ments and sheriffs' fees over $4,000 Had
the system of subsequents been added
this amount would have been less than
$1,000
The penalties and interest which Mr.
Johnson refers to are distinctly provided
for by the statutes, which also provide
that when actual payment of sub -equent
tax is made, the certificate holder NAV
draw interest on both against judgment
and subsequent tax. The state does not
actually make any payment of tax, and
for this reason alone, a careful official
would prefer to take separate judgments
for each year.
The question Of leakage" which was
the first cause of the county auditors
alarm, has evidently been set,led to his
complete satisfaction by the G / o b e S
article.

Startling Assertions of Modderfon-

NEW YORK, Dec: Ism. De Long
the manager of the dynamite factory at
Modderfontein, in the TrEnsVaal, has
just started for France, and has been in
tervtewed by representatives of the Paris
journals He says that the British gov
eminent can have no idea of the vast ex-
tent of the preparations that the Beers
have been quietly making for years, with
the realization that another struggle with
the full force of Great Britain was in
evitable. Even should the Bo5rs be div
en- out OF Natal. l4eV points out, no British
army could ever hope to enter the Trans
vaal and surYive,4 Since the war began,
he says, heavy. artillery that had been
carefully stored away has been brought
forth. He asserts that the forts at Pre-
toria and Johannesburg are as strong as
any fortresses in the world, and have
within the last month been rendered abso-
lutely impregnables while Ede!berg alone
could hold it5iown with twenty-five men
against 1,000--assauants, particularly in
the rainy season, which has just begun
causing unfoB1abfS streams suddenly to
spring into existence
De Long states that there are about
5000 well trained German volunteers in
the Boer army, wlt1 have not yet been al
lowed to go to the front. He adds that
the governments of the Boer republics are
showing ggeatMeconomy of strength,
and have not yet used third of their
military resources.

POLITICAL NOTES.

johnny Selb, one Of the warm members
OF the Fifth ward bunch of Republican
po1uclfns. scored victory last night
over J. c. Reichardt another Republican
leader, from the Third ward. Selb some
months ago was member in good stand
ing or the Lincoln club. Either owing
TO 1orgetfulness or a lack of the needy
ne allowed his name to get on The de-
hnQuent list. AS soon as he had been
appointed chief clerk in the office of the
corporation attorney, Selb decided that
ne would affiliate again with the organi-
Zauon which is made up of officials and
employees Of the county and city J. G.
Reichardt, who did not fancy Selb ow-
lng to his being for Donahower rather
than for Kiefer, endeavored to prevent
Se!b from regaining membership In the
club There have been several heated
sessions or the club ever the proposition
10 admit Selb to membership again. and
UP to last night Reichardt had the best
of the argument.
When the order of general business
was reached at the session last evening
Selb, who had slipped the amount of his
delinquent dues to the treasurer. arose
and made a talk for himself He de-
ciared that he had never been officially
notified that he was in arrears and that
the club for this reason had not the
right to drop him from the rolls He
had paid his delinquent dues, and as he
was a good Republican desired to have
his name placed among the others. Reich
ardt raised the point of order that as
Selb's name had been voted On and re-
jected at a previous meeting he could
not qualify by paying his back dues.
Spirited speeches We're made in behalf of
Selb by Doc" Schiffmann. Ell Warner
Henry Johns and Arthur J. Stobart
The president of the club, John w. Fine
bout, who Is one of the assistant cor
pOratiOn attorneys, ruled that the point
raised by Reichardt was not well taken.
In addition President Finehout stated
that any member Of the organization,
whose name was on the rolls previous to
the recent reorganization of the club, was
entitled to again become member on the
payment of delinquent dues.
Three new members were admitted and
committees appointed to arrange for the
annual banquet of the club Feb. Il.

replied that if the Appointment came to
