Love Of a Mother Seal.

This story of the capture of young
seal near Anacapa island, CAL. is told
by Ernest Whitehead: The seal was
taken on board his ship. AS the vessel
started the mother seal was noticed
swimming about, bowling piteously.
The little captive barked responsively.
After reaching the wharf at Santa Bar
bara the captive was tied up in jute
sack and left on deck. Soon after COM
ing to anchor the seal responded to it's
mothers calls by casting itself over
board, all tied up as it was in the sack.
The mother seized the sack and with
her sharp teeth tore it open. She had
followed the sloop 80 miles.

living opposite a young ladies' school.
It appears that in this school are many
pianos, daily practice upon which by

to desperation, the New York Tribune
says, she wrote to the principal Of the
school asking that when pianoforte
practice was going forward the win

composition. To which the schoolmis-

raised the new flag to the tall staff
which had been located at the highest
point in the park. The last verse of
the song was sung at the conclusion of
the band music and Marshal Carroll
called for three cheers for the flag and
Company B. They were given with
will and then the G. A. r. proposed
three cheers for the returned volhn-
teers. This was another signal for
patriotic outbreak and Company u.
came right back with three cheers for

completely victorious and the rem
nants of the gang killed or taken pris-
oners.
Having heard that the dacoits had
gone on plundering expedition, the
assistant superintendent of police and
the district superintendent, of police,
accompanied by 25 native police, start
ed in pursuit, and came up with them
on the side of hill, where they had
taken a strong position under IN over
hanging rock which protected their
rear, while in front of them and on
either flank were high rocks, with an
open plain beyond.
Finding it impossible, owing to the,
nature of the ground, to dislodge the
dacoits from a distance, it was decided
to rush their stronghold, and accord
ingly they were charged by party of
police from the front and another party
from the rear of the position. Both of
icers charged home, but the native po-
lice Jagged behind. Shots were ex-
changed at a few PAGES, and two of the
dacoits were killed, one of them being
Saleh Sahib, the leader of the gang.
In second attack each officer was
accompanied by one man. one of whom
was killed and another wounded.
Eventually the three remaining dacoits
two of whom were wounded, laid down
their arms and surrendered.
This illustration shows how they are
kept in restraint with steel hobbies.

CASE AGAINST BOERS
English Preachers Historian On the
Transvaals Situation
His Views Are Heartily Applaudea b.
the Jingoes Of Great Britain
HAS Nothing Good to say OF
Dutch Africans.

Such q case as Rev. w. j. Knox Little
makes out against the Beers in his re-
cent work on South Africa shows that
the present contention is not q new
matter, or one which has arisen since
the discovery of gold in the witwaters-
rand. So far from suzerainty being
now asserted for the first time, it has
never been laid down, and there is no
time in the history of the Transvaal
that the overlordship of the British
crown has not been put forward us the,
fundamental consideration. The Beers
themselves do not date the existence
Of the Transvaal government from the
date of their wholesale immigration in
1886, and the fact remains that Presi-
from the older stock were born British
subjects and have never had their al
elegiance surrendered back to them.
In 1888, two years after the grand
trek, the Beers beyond the Vaal were in
trouble with the fierce and war-loving
Zulus. Sir George Napier, governor of
the Cape Colony ut that time, assumed
that the Beers were British subjects
M matter of course. and sent British
troops to bring about peace, which
was soon after effected. At TINT time
the trekkers were in sore straits, and
had England left them to their fate
there would have been no Boer gov
eminent to-day to tell the tale. The

main on the farms they had improved
and submit to the imposition of their
British masters. Some of them settled
in Natal, which was thereupon mace q
British colony, leading to the passage
of those to the north across the Vaal
river, where they founded the South AZ
rican republic. Others moved further
west and formed a rude government
about 1888. Difficulties between Beers
and the Griqua natives were made pre-
text for British interference, and
Griquas and British fought side by side
against the burghers in 1s45. Great
Britain then assumed control by APP
pointing resident governor, where
upon more of the Beers went across the
Vaal. About 5000 remained, and these
had constant quarrels with the British,
who, determined to make the Beers
submit to the yoke, annexed the ter
ritory and attempted to establish reg
ular colonial government. The Beers
revolted under their leader, Pretorius,
and expelled the British magistrates.
Another force of redcoats reconquered
the Beers and maintained British rule
until 1853, when, after another year of
intermittent fighting, the British aban-
doned the region and allowed the Beers
to form government of their own un-
der the name Orange River Free State.
No gold has been found in the country,
and so there is no uitlander question.
But the Orange Free State Beers realize
that if the Transvaal becomes British
they will be entirely surrounded by
British territory and their independ-
ence will be of short duration. The re-
gion now has $4,000 inhabitants, of
whom about one-third are whites. Great
Britain makes no claim to suzerainty
over the nation.

Weeping. The requirements under
Uys, Maritz and Potgieter were over
thrown soon after near the crossing of
the Buffalo river. There was no doubt
about British sovereignty at that time.
It was not long after that British
resident was sent to Bloemfontein as
an open expression of government.
When, in 1S4s, the Beers made trouble
for this official and shut him up in his
own house, Sir Harry Smith acted i'm
mediately. With small but sufficient
force from Cape Town he met the trek
kers at Boomplatz on August 20, and
put them to rout, reestablishing the
sovereignty of the Orange Free State.
So we'll attested are these facts that the
Beers do not pretend to have been in
any way liberated from the allegiance
owed to Great Britain until the Sand
river convention in 1882, when Pre-
torius began the administration of what
he called the Dutch African republic.
But Mr.. Little SCOTS at the idea of there
being anything like a government in
the Transvaal at that time or for many
years afterward. There were perpetual
chickering's between Potgieter and Pre-
torius, and it is hardly to be said even
now that there is that maintenance of
public order and administration of inn
partial Justice which are the essentials
of settled rule.
In 1857 the son of the old Pretorius,
then acting as president of the repub-
lie, invaded the Orange Free State. He
retired without firing shot, however,
and in the year 1859 the two countries
were united under his leadership. From
that time on for many years the force
of the Beers was used alternately in
fighting with Cetewayo, the Zulu king,
and in wrangling over doctrinal re-
ligious questions at home. When Pre-
torius proclaimed the boundaries of
the Transvaal to extend as far as Lake
Ngami he was forced to withdraw his
proclamation by the British, but not
until the great explorer, Livingstone,
whom the Beers hated, had been at
tackled by them at Kolsberg, and all
he owned in the world put to fire.
The British found the country de-
fenseless against a powerful foe, with
out money in its treasury or other prop
er means for preservation. 1t kept the
descendants of the trekkers from the
assegais of the Zulus, as it had kept
their ancestors from them years be-
fore. From that time to this there has
been no doubt of the British sovereign
ty, even though Gladstone was pre-
vailed upon to permit them to establish
their own government. This is the
British contention as set forward by
Mr.. Knox Little.
