he was a mass of flames and, save for

One explanation of the catastrophe is
given as follows: The pipes to tn

the stove, it created supply of steam
which could find no outlet except
through the iron of the stove.

Wolf Creek is one of the oldest land

recently remarked that he remembered
the saw mill situated at that place,
which sawed the lumber for the old

circular saws had not come into Use.
The one saw in existence was the
straight saw, and it was logged up and
down through the length and breadth
of the log by the help OF water power.
A couple hundred feet of lumber

capital is subjected to as many hard

tributes as much in taxes as the rail-

proven their receipts average only a
trifie over two cents per mile for each
passenger carried owing to the many
occasions for which they are expected
to grant rates which seem below the

Both British and Beers have reason to
fear the attitude OF the blacks in the war.
There is native question in South Africa
that grows more perplexing as the Kaflirs
thrive and multiply.
Their districts and reservations are the
most densely peopled parts of South Africa.
In Cape Colony they outnumber the whites
five to one, and in Natal fifteen to one. In
Basuto Land there are only 600 whites to
$4,000 natives. In spite OF the large in
fiux of white men in the Transvaal, the
blacks OF that country were estimated, in
1896, to outnumber the whites three to
one. The Orange Free State alone has no
native question of IL serious nature, the
Afrikanders equalling the blacks in num-
bers. But the State has had frequent trol-
bio with the natives outside its frontiers
and particularly with the Basutos.
The Basutos are now said to be rising
against the Beers, whom they accuse Of
having ill-treated them in the gold fields
and of robbing native miners OF their
wages. Their district is n British crown
colony surrounded on oil sides by British
and Boer territory. There is no certainty
that the quarter Of million Basutos
would not turn against the British as
readily as against the Beers II oppor
tunity favored. Their grievances against
both Dutch and English are deep
seated and of long standing. They have
had repeated wars with the Orange Free
State which secured a slice OF Basuto soil
before the remainder was taken under Brit
ish protection. The attempt of Cape COL
ony to disarm them resulted in war that
cost the Cape $50, 900, 900. Tho prohibi-
ton OF liquor, the collection OF the hut
tax, the suppression of many Of the
chiefs, are among other causes of diScon-
tent that at times, have led to dis
order. Thci" mountain valleys are most
fruitful and the people have made con
siderable progress in civilization, but, after
all, they have the mountainecrs love of
independence ms they have shown in their
hard-fought battles with the whites around
them. There is no telling how far they
may be able to intensity the present
troubles, but that they may oppose one or
both OF the hostile nations is tho fact that
excites anxiety.
The Zulus, whose country is now part
of Natal, are armlng, and dispatches from
Durham say that they and the Swazs will
make common cause against the Beers
These tribes and also the Basutos have very
few guns; but the warfare the ycan wage
with the Katlir assegai has proven their
prowess on many a battlefield in some of
which they have annhilated their white
enemies. There is no doubt that the mil
lions OF Kaffirs OF South Africa can give
serious trouble to one or both of the white
contestants.

A Remarkable Proposition.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: 1t is remark
able that in all the various attempts to unite the
different Christian denominations and to throw fl
the manifest weakness and absurdity of the inter
mDable differences OF opinion among Christians
eardng what ia the doctrine and teaching of Christ.
it has occurred to men to expect that the One
whom they claim to be the living Head of the
Church. and TO be still Man. would if asked. inter
fere and tell them dehn tely what is the truth and
the proper way to all the vexed questions. Ger.
tainly. this would seem to be common sense. OF
course 1t would be necessary IL He did do so, for
almost every one to concedc that he is wrong N
many respects. and this would be a shock to sec.
tarian pride. Yet II He could speak through Apos.
ties, distinctly and definitely, in the first days of
tho Church. there is certainly no logical reason
for saying that He could not do it in this time.
when the questions he settled and the differences
to be adjusted are so much more numerous and
radical.
Suppose all the different sects should get together
and rec that they needed q com petent Judge and
Authority to decide between the M. and then ask the
great Head OF the Church to give them such author.

Did Mr.. Henderson Say 1t?

The occasion Of the singular remark at
Republican campaign meeting in Ohio last
Saturday. The next Speaker OF the House
is reported as having said Of the Commits
sioner OF Pensions under the present Ad-
ministration: "If were GOD, I would not
have made EVANS"
Mr.. HENDERsoN's impotence in the past
with the policy OF watchfulness and strict
accountability which Mr.. EVANS has in
troduced in the Pension Bureau, with the
approval OF President MCKINLEY. has been
manifested at various times in Congress
and elsewhere. The next Speaker Is gen.
erous, warm-hearted sort Of chap, without
a very steady rein on his emotions; not
exactly the person himself that wisdom
would select for the control and disburse-
ment Of public funds under laws susceptible
OF loose construction.
Nevertheless, it Is hoped that the respon-
sibility OF the eminent post with which Mr..
HENDERSON is to be trusted by the Repub-
Leans Of the House Of Representatives OF
the Fifty-sixth Congress will serve to
repress what we may describe as the
viously habitual with him. 1t would
be great misfortune to Mr.. HEN
DERsoN II he should contract the notion
that the prestige OF his new Office
requires the frequent utterance OF cpl
grammatic phrases in the fashion Of his
predecessor He is not built to rival Mr.
REEDS reputation for sarcastic humor. An
attempt on Mr.. HENDERsoN's part to be
particularly scintillant and cutting would
be apt to produce something either very
mushy or very vulgar like the alleged
remark about Commissioner EVANS.
Now, as matter of fact, although Mr.
HENDERSON has profcssed a very contempt
uous opinion Of Commissioner EVANS in
times past, and has said some harsh and
unjust things about him, he made, about
four months, ago a distinct public retrac-
ton and apology. In n speech at Dubuque
on June 21 Mr.. HENDERSON said, in his
enthusiastically impulsive way:
Here in my home State. in my home district in
the city love veil and among . people love so
we'll from this platform from which have spoken
TO You often want to publicly acknow ledge the
great wrong have done H. CLAY EVANS. Boys. he is
your fiend and the friend Of tho old soldiers every
whore. Let us give him at least Justice"
That is why we believe that Mr.. HENDER-
SON is msrepresented in the current YER
sions Of his speech in Ohio last week To
suppose him capable, only sixteen weeks
after this voluntary and manly confession
OF wrong, Of resuning his public attacks
on the Commissioner, in the brutally often
sive and semi-blasphemous manner re-

Democratic National Headquarters,

The cherished purpose OF some of the
members OF the Democratic National Com
mittee to transfer their headquarters for
1900 from Chicago to the city OF Washing
ton has been frustrated, temporarily at
least by the declaration OF Mr.. JOHNSON of
Kansas resolutely and deliberately ref,Is-
Ing to turn the committee loose as pro-
posed. Mr.. JOHNSON AYERS that the entire
question OF headquarters has been left TO
him; that he finds Chicago to be the best
place for the committee "to carry on it's
business" and that New York is certainly
not the place for headquarters
For many years prior to 1885 the ma
tional headquarters of the rival political
organizations were in New York city, the
most desirable place for such purpose, and
In fact the only city in the United States
from which capable, thorough and compre-
hcnsive political canvass can be- conducted
by any party. New York is not only the poit-
ical centre, but Ia also the commercial and
intellectual capital of the country. 1t is
the great city Of greatest agencies OF argu-
ment in reaching the voting public. II is
the determining factor in the vote OF the
uncertain States which decides elections
The business affairs of any party, as of any
national enterprise, are conducted in and
from New York, irrespective of the locality
OF the nominal headquarters.
So far from diminishing in Importance
New Hork's predominancc among American
cities has been enormously increasing; but
this consideration did not prevent the Dem
ocrats from substituting Chicago as their
headquarters three years ago The avowed
reasons which led to the change were three

position that there existed some in
