The Queens Turn to Laugh.

Queen Victoria has just turned the
tables on certain artists and picture
publishers in London, and the "hup-
per circle is enjoying Il quiet laugh
over it. Some time ago some one, with
an unusual amount of self-contidence,
was going over the old Schloss Rose
nau i'll Saxony, now the property of
the Duke Of -Coburg, and on the
top floor, in the room which had been
used by the Prince Consort as a study
when he was a boy, was found paint
ing, which was declared to be Princess
Victoria at the age Of four. From
some one, no one knows who, permits
sion was had to copy it, and in a short
time the picture stores had a new like
ness of her majesty. 1t represented
child, exceedingly pretty, dressed in
q white gown, with the sleeves rolled
up. On her head was small cap, and
cuddling in her arms was a small Po-
meranian dog. The reproductions
went like hot cakes, and her majesty
heard about it. Victoria has q good
memory and she has herself declared
that incidents which happened when
size was twelve months old are fresh in
her mind still, but she could NOS for
the life of her recall any picture of her
fondling dog. To settle the matter
she sent to her son for the painting in
question, and when it was unpacked
the other day Victoria at once pro-
nounced that she remembered it very
we'll. twas done by the artist Greuze,
who died in 1905, fourteen years be-
fore her majesty's birth Chicago

LATE dispatches from the HERALD's
special correspondent at Pima, Ari-
IONA, lead to the belief that certain ne
gro soldiers need to be rounded up and
corraled with Apaches for guards. The
negro soldierhas good deal to answer
for for riotous and criminal conduct
during the war. Much was forgiven him
on account of the magnificent record
tn at he made in Cuba when many a
white volunteer owed his life to the
fierce Fighting of his negro comrade.
But such outrages as this latest one at
San Carlos are entirely without excuse
and should be dealt with by the autho-
rites with the utmost severity. Some
old frontiersmen may look upon
this as partial retribution
to the Apache for outrages that he has
committed in the past. No such i'm
moral and specious reasoning as this
can condone for moment the I'M
crime of which these
negroes are said to be guilty. If they
will act like brutes they must be treat

Chicago Record.
Anyone who will study map OF
| South Africa will be able to under
stand few of the reasons why the
British war office feels it necessary to
mobilize so large force to subdue the
South African republic and its ally,
the Orange Free State. When the
Afrikanders finally secured the recog-
milton of their claims, in the conven-
| tion of 1884, they were ALLOW ed to fix
their boundaries about a
territory of 1873 square miles.
The nation which has been
known as the petty republic', and
which some of the London journals
now characterize as ''trumpery little
state" is, therefore, in reality nearly
as large, territorially. as New Mexico,
and larger than all New England to-
gether with New York. The Trans
vaal is considerably more than half as
large as either France or Germany
and it is larger than Italy. 1t and the
Orange FreeState comprise territory
about equal to that of Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan com bined.
To reach Pretoria, the Transvaal
capital, from Mafeking, one of the
points at which the invaders presum-
ably will make their attack, the
British troops must traverse about $50
miles of hostile territory. From

ed like brutes. The Apaches are the
charges of our government, and it
those who are set to guard them so far
forget their duty to the government
and to their honor as soldiers that
they descend to rapine and murder,
they should pay the death penalty for
their crimes. And none are so deeply
interested in ferretipg out the guilty
ones and securing their punishment Is
is that large proportion of negro sol
diers that is incapable of committing
such brutal outreges.

GREAT BRITAIN has ordered canned

notoriety that was given some brands
of the product through the Esgan

CURLY SULLIVAN has played his
last con- game in Ell Paso for few
years. The police are to be congratul-
atea for their good work in this case
The newspapers, too, have had a good
deal to do with forcing the game to a
show down. 1t is noteworthy that the
conviction was on the charge of theft
from the person, and had nothing to
do with the confidence games by which
Curly earned an honest living. Thus,
unfortunately, the case brings us nc
nearer than ever to the general ban
ishment of the confidence men who
have given Ell Paso such an undesi-
rable reputation. Now if the police
can get after some of the regularly
licensed confidence games that are run
night and day in the gam bling resorts
they will be doing a direct service to
all honest people.

point on the Natal frontier, the dis
lance to Pretoria is about as far. while
from Kimberley, should the British
commence invasion from that point.
the distance is nearly 800 miles
Could the troops which
have been modified as far
as Cape Town travel as
the crow flies, they would have a jour-
ney of nearly 600 miles before them to
reach the nearest point on Transvaal
soil. The task, indeed. of mobilizing
the troops from Cape Town and bring
ing them to the Boer capital would be
almost equivalent, in point of distance,
to taking an army from Chicago to
New York city. the last 200 miles be-
ing through hostile territory.

YESTERDAYS dispatches announced
that Queen Victoria is about to mobil-
ize the entire British army and to call
out the "militia and reserves, or such
part thereof as may be necessary for
permanent service" The regular Brit
ish army consists of some 145, 900 effect
ives. of whom $4,000 are on Indian
establishment. The army reserves of
the FIRST and second class comprise
about so, 600 men. The militia contains
about 125, 900 men. In addition to these
classes of the auxiliary forces there
are the yeoman cavalry Of 10000 men I,
and the volunteers, 900, making q
total, home and colonial, regular and
volunteer force of 100000. The army
reserve and militia impressment will
fall heavily on all the rural districts,
and it is likely that popular opinion
concerning the war in South Africa
will be considerably modified when the
question is brought so close home.

GENERAL MERRIAM'S annual report
has a special significance in connection
with the reported danger of an upris-
in at San Carlos. General Merriam
is the commander of the department
of the Colorado. He gives the distr1-
button of the twelve troops of cavalry
and the one company of infantry under
mis- command, and after describing the
Indian situation, he asserts that the
danger limit has been reached in with
drawing frontier gsrrisons for foreign
service. There are some So. 900 Indians
in his department, as well as others
inst across the line in Mexico, and Cen
eral Merriam considers that the force
available would be Ineffective to cope
with a possible uprising. AS the regu-
lar army is liable to be called upon at
any time to meet other emergencies,
as short time ago at Wardner, Idaho,
it would seem that General Merriam's
protest is timely and worthy of the
most serious consideration by the au-
thorities.

SOME weeks ago the HERALD edi
torially discussed the conflict between
the Western Union and Commercial
Cable companies regarding the cable
rights between the United States and
Cuba. The Commercial Gable COM
pany has been carrying on an aggres.
sive campaign by means of circulars
and newspaper advertising in order to
get public opinion on its side. 1t has
succeeded to a remarkable degree. A
few days ago Secretary Root made an
swer to the great number of petitions
that he has received urging. that he re-
woke the action of ex-Secretary Alger
in refusing to sallow the Commercial
company to land a cable in Cuba. The
secretary states that the war depart
ment has nothing to do with this mat
ter, nor has any executive branch of the
government. Congress, he says, has
prohibited the granting of any fran
chises in Cuba, and no power rests
in anyone, without further congress
sional action, to give the Commercial
Cable company the right to construct
and operate a cable to Cuba. The
Western Union, he asserts. is operating
under Spanish grant, and its fran
chise must be protected under the
treaty of peace the same as other pro-
perty rights. The Commercial com
pany, in view of this attitude of the
secretary, has about determined to go
ahead and lay q cable to Cuba and en-
ter into active competition with the
Western Union, in the expectation
that the present monopoly will apply
to the courts for redress. The Com
company feels sure that no
United Estates court will uphold.such q
as the Western Union. The
people of the United States are against
in any form, and in this con-
they side with the CONNER
cisl company.
