London, Oct. 1.-Lord Rosebery, for finally declared his position relative to the South African question. In a let ter under today's date he says: T have maintained silence because am loath to re-enter politics. Today, how ever, I can speak without touching pol itics, for a situation has been created which is beyond polemics. I think there is much in the last three years of our relations with the government of the Transvaal to cri .icize, if not condemn, but that is all over for the present.
 Tt is needless to discuss how We could best have attained our simple and reasonable object of rescuing our fellow countrymen in the TransvaaI from the intoIerabIe conditions of sub jection and injustice and of securing equal rights for the white races in South Africa, for an ultimatum has been addressed to Great Britain by the South African republic which is itself a declaration of war. In the face of this attack upon the nation the people will undoubtedly clear their ranks and relegate their controversies to a more convenient season.
 There is one more word to be said Without attempting to judge the policy which concluded peace after the re- verse at Majuba HiIl I am bound to state my profound conviction that there is no conceivable government in this country which could repeat it."

GREAT BRITAIN UNPREPARED.


 London, Oct. Tiff the latest reports from South Africa are true the Boers have not waited for the expirat tion of the time limit. but have already crossed the border, as they would be entitled to do both in virtue of the notification contained in the last paragraph of the ultimatum and also of the British ac- knowledgement. which reached Pre- toria so speedily as to justify the be- lief, amounting to almost a certainty, that the war party in Great Britain is in reality delighted that diplomacy has said it's last word and action can now proceed.
 All indications go to show that Great Britain is so unprepared as to be com pelled to remain on the defensive for some weeks. All the aggressiveness must come from the Boers. It seems highly probable that the tongue of Natal as far as New Castle will be in the hands of the Boers before many hours.

the Hose Lynching

Chicago June 4-When the negro Hose
was burned by a mob at Newman. Ga.
prominent colored people of Chicago raised
fund and sent a local detective named
Levin TO investigate al the circumstances.
To-day he reported to a meeting held at
Bethel Church that the burning of Hose
was fully premeditated and was openly
advocated by many of the leading men of
the community, as an example to the col
orede people.
He said he learned positively that. while
Hose actually killed Crawford Mrs. Gran
ford had admitted that the negro did not
modest her in any way.
One of the most astonishing charges
made in the report is that the railroad Off
cials, who made up a special train
for. the lynching party after the capture
of Hose, tctually advertised the contem-
late burning and sold tickets to people
attracted by these advertisements.

climate and Compression.


II has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for a
colored people. Dark skins are by no
means confined TO the tropics. they are
to be found In races even beyond the tenn
perate zone. This diversity, according to
q writer In one of the American maya
zines, can only be accounted for by con-
sidering the different modes of life that
have acted for centuries upon the various
classes and castles Of the country. The
coolie who works IN the fields with strip
of cotton cloth about his loins is very
dark; the merchant and trader who never
go abroad without being thoroughly cloth
ed are many degrees fairer. 1t Is said
that a colony of Jews on the west coast
Of India has been established for nearly
eighteen centuries, but because they have
not followed the habits OF the people as
regards clothing, they remain to this dav
a white people. On the other hand, the
Aryan populations of India and Persia.
originally a fair people. by adopting The
customs of those countries, have become
in great measure colored race. Accord
ingly, Ii rs argued that the steady march
OF nature is toward the evolution OF far
people all over the world. The layer of
dark pigment beneath the cuticle prevents
the skin from blisterlng. and when proper
ciothing renders this Safeguard linneces
sary, nature dispenses with ii altogether.
II Is also limited that color has something
10 do with the mental and intellectual con-
ditions of people. but into this question
the writer wisely forbears TO enter.

admitted that Dyea and Skagway and
that strip of territory at the Lynn canal

objected to these conditions. What Can

TO weigh about lGS at the present time.
