dow of well-known jewelry firm, and
his attention was attracted to a mag
nificent gold sword, says Philadelphia
paper.
The two gentlemen stopped and
looked in the window at the sword for
few minutes and read the card which
was near it announcing that this
sword is to be presented to Rear Ad~
miral Schley in Philadelphia on the 2Oth
inst"
Let us go in and see it." said Schley.
And in they went The jeweler was
ntar the door and he recognized the
hero of Santiago at once. The sword
and case were taken out of the window
ard placed on top Of a showcase, where
the admiral could examine it closely.
His face was eaming with delight as
he handled il aad outside there was
gathering large crowd of men, WON
en- and children, whose faces were also
bcaming, but they were not looking at
the sword. They were studying every
move and change of expression in
Schley's face. He did not seem to no.

Further correspondence resulted in tho
withdrawal of the Transvaars franchise
concession, the British government hav-
ing suggested that the English members
Of the Raad. when elected. be allowed to
use their own language in the dcihera-
tons Of that body, just as the Dutch mem
|, bers of the Cape Colony Legislature are
allowed to Use theirs. Thoreupon the
British government proposed to formulate
new proposals, but bt fore further negotia-
tions could be Instituted the Transvaal
government on October . last issued an
ultmatum. This instrument demanded
that the points of dispute be arbitrate ed;
that all British troops on the borders of the
South African Republic be withdrawn.
with the proviso that the armed burghers
would also be withdrawn from the Dor
ders. and that her majesty's troops then
on the high seas be not landed in South
Africa. The ultimatum stated that If
satisfactory answer VS. not received by
p. m. on October II, 1899, the Transvaal
government would be compelled to regard
the action of her maiestys government
as a formal declaration of war. on Octo-
Der 10 Mr.. Chamberlain directed Sir AL
feed Miner, the British high commission
er in South Africa, to inform the Trans
vaal government that the conditions de-
manded by the government of the South
African Republic are such as hcr maics-
tvs government deem 1t impossible to
discuss" Thereupon the Beers advanced
against the British positions la Natal and
Hechuanaland, with results which are
known Of the whole woc'ld.
Concerning the personal ambitions. the
political aims and the Interior motives and
designs behind the South African trouble,
it is not necessary to speak at this time.
1t is evident however that for the Boers
the dilemma was serious Had the fran
chise been granted to the Outlanders un-
conditionaly the Dutch would have been
outnumbered and soon overwhelmed in
the Transvlal, while war meant newt
able defeat, in spite Of the Bocr triumph
in ISL With England, on the other hand
the choice was either supremacy over
of a Dutch United States of South Africa
ana the Wiping out of British influence in
that quarter of the globe.
/ If We We're to try to draw a parallel be-
tween the action of England in seeking
the franchise foe the Outlanders of the
Transvaal and China endeaVornG to force
the United States to make Cinnamon citi-
2ens of this country, or to attempt to i'm
aclno England in the act of seeking to
redress the wrongs of Outlandors in Rus
STA possibly we might gain new light on
the situation in South Africa, particularly
as the Beers moved from Cape Colony in
to the Transvaal to establish an indepen-
dent State and escape the hated Bolton.
If We follow the line of inquiry regarding
the right IF superior race to encroach
upon n degraded people too closely. how
ever, we shall come dangerously near to
the question of the right of our own fore
fathers to dSivc out an inferior race from
our native land. Stripped of all verbia GO
the connic. in South Africa is in reality
struggle for race supremacy and no one
can doubt as to its ultimate outcome.

Vermont met with her second defeat Of
the year on the foot ball field a Athletic
Park Saturday afternoon at the hands
of the New Hampshire state College
eleven. The final score stood to :. Cal
dcrwood making a touchdown and kick
ing the goal for New Hampshire and Oat-
ley kicking a goal from the field for Ver-
mont. The game was a kicking game from
start to finish Oatley and Calderwood
puntng about even. Vermont showed
poor judgment in punting over New
tIampshre's line twice from the so yard
line in the first half and once in the sec
ond thereby giving their opponents a
chance to kick ont from tho 20 yard line
Vermont probably could have kept the
visitors from scoring if they had punted
the ball out of their territory the first
part of the second half when New lIamp-
shire held for downs on the 30 yard lin"
and rushed the ball steadily down the
field.

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Next Term Begins Jan. d-Statement by
the Trustees.

The dSth annual announcement of the
Medical Department of the University of
Vermont has been issued from the Free
Press job office and is now being sent out.
The next term begins Thursday, Jan. 4,
nnd continues until June 2S. The reappolnt-
ment Of the former occupants of the
chairs of instruction leaves no announce
ments, which are new in the list but q
lcaflct has been printed to accompany the
announcement which Is as follows:
The trustees of the University having
resumed entire control of the Medical De-
p1rtmcnt, have rcappointed the former oC-
cupants of the several chairs of iustruc-
tion for the ensuing year. They have taxi
en- this action in order that the Medical
Department may maintain as close a con-
tinuity IS possible with its honorable past,
and that the alumni and und rgraduatcs
may feel assured that no radical or rcvo-
lutionary measures are contemplated in
their dealing with the department. They
can confidently promise to students both
ola ana new, continuance of the same
endcaVors a heretofore made on the part
of the instructors to bring the grade of
instruction, both ddactic and clinical, up
to the highest attainablc level and they
feel justified in assuring students that
they will be permitted to pursue their
studies free from the disturbing Influences
which were so much to be regretted dur
ing the past year. We trust That any for
mer students who in view of these cir
cumsances and of doubts concerning the
future OF the institution may have con-
tcmplated going elsewhere to complete
their medical studies, may return to their
classes with fun confidence that the Sos
sion will be pleasant and profitable one;
and that others who are choosing an in
stitution in which to begin or continue
/ their medical studies may not be preiu-
diced by any recent occurrences or rum1rs
affecting this institution, bat will consider
| only its permanent and well-estabished
claims upon their respect and confidence.

Bone Of Contention in South Africa

\ "subscriber' has asked the FREE
l.RI:sS to publish a condensed statement
Of the claims and couutcr-claims which
have led up to the war between England
and the BoorS' The Sou.h African con-
uoyorsy has assumed SO many different
phases under the magic touch of modern
diplomacy AS to Ccndcr a condensation Of
the details OF the trouble into concise
set comprehensive aud satisfactory state
meut a difficult matter, and many inter
csting points must De left untouched, as
indicated by the volumes ana columns OF
newspaper space devoted to the subject.
Such a summary will be more lntelligible
81 accompanied by a brief reference to the
historical aspects Of the case.
The dispute between the English gov
eminent and the Dutch settlers in South
Africa has continued from the beginning
Of British rule in Care Colony. In the
au's English missionaries returned to eng
Land with terrible stories of The slavery
system among the Beers and as a result
Of the agitation caused thereby came the
abolition Of slavery accompanied by conf
I0nsation Of about oro-third OF the value
represented by the saves. The British
later established English as the official
language of the country, but the action
which seems to have aroused The hercost
recommendations the Beers was the send
Ing of number Of shp-loads OF English
convicts to the colony to supply cheap la
hor.
The Dutch settlers crossed the Vaal
river in large numbers in order to secure
relief from British oppressiou, and in 1910
they established republic in tho Trans
wal whore they fancicd they would he
allowed to live n peace, The republic was
acknowledged BY Great britain At tho
