Attitude of the Natives.

TT IS not clear whether the Boer war
is astonishing the natives or filling
them with WEAKNESS and disgust.
Whatever their emotions, they have
not yet begun to engage in any upris-
ings; or at any nate they haven't up
risen any higher than the top rail Of
the fence, from which they are view
ing the proceedings with an unmistak-
able go-it-husband, go-it-bear attitude.
Whether they will remain on the fence,
or whether they viii come down and
participate in the exercises are ques-
tons of the hour in London and South
Africa. The most formidable of the
lot are the Basutos. They are not so
fierce and cruel as the Zulus, but they
are more crafty and strategic. There
are about 100000 Of them in all and they
can put an army of $4,000 in the field
at two days notice. Half of them carry
rifles and the other half assegais and
battle axes. Their mountains are full
of big caves, which serve as fortresses,
armories and forts.
The Basutos arose from the REM
nants of the tribes dispersed and near
ly obliterated by the Zulus in their
carnival of outrage and slaughter in

the beginning OF the century. FOR iit1na
dreds of miles in all directions the for
ests were cleared OF inhabitants The
few who escaped were driven north and
south to meet new enemies and fly back
upon the assegais OF the zulus. Out Of
hundreds OF thousands, hundreds only
escaped, and these hundreds, the sur
vivors of many tribes, were the begin
ming of the Basutos. They found ref
uge at Thaba Bosigo, and there,
young man of humble birth, Moshesh
by name, organized them and eventual
my made them a great and powerful
tribe. The name of Moshesh is revered
to-day. When in doubt the chiefs of
the Basutos meet and solemnly ask,
What would Moshesh do If he were
alive?'
Moshesh was a heap big chief in his
day. AS against the Zulus. he recog-
nized the fact that discretion was the
better part of Valor. When the Ztlus
sought to engage him in battle. he hid
his tribes and his f1ocks and herds in
the caves. This policy he steadfastly
pursued until the Basutos waxed pow
erful. When the tribe was big enough
to fight, it tackled all corners. and
partly by fighting ferocity, partly by
craft and cunning it almost invariably
gave the Corners the worst of it.
The Basutos have fought both the
Beers and the English. IN 1858 they
went to war with the Beers over
boundary line. The Basuto horsemen
made frightful ravages among the
Beers farms. Battles were fought, am
bushes laid. In the end the Beers con-
quered, and the Basutos lost much
farm land. But this victory was won
only with British aid, and in the end
the Basutos found themselves British
subjects. They are said to hate the
Beers more than they hate the Eng
lish and should they do any uprising it
is likely to be against the burghers.

AMERICAS
INTEREST IN CHINA

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The renewal of the report that Rus
STA intends to seize New Chwang, on
the Gulf of Leao Tong. has provoked
renewed activity in diplomatic circles
in Europe and America. Russia's de-
sire Tor this city is not of recent growth.
New Chwang is to be a station on the
Fort Arthur branch of the Trans-Si-
perlan railroad. II affords an excellent
door to Manchuria and those other
northern ports of China over which
Russian influence now extends. Amer
ica, England, France and Germany are
interested in keeping that door open,
IN accordance with the treaties with
emma which give to them all the privi-
reyes enjoyed by the most favored ma
lions. That is why Secretary Hay has
communicated with the foreign offices
IN st. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris and
London, asking that some written guar
antee be given that the treaty rights
OF the United States will be respected
In those parts of China over which the
various European powers are extending
their influence. Germany has already
Indicated a willingness to respect our
rights. Russia and France have shown
no reluctance to give us the desired
assurances, but England is a little
slow. We cannot believe that this tar
diness is due to anything but preoccu-
patton with the Suoth African troubles.
When the Belgian syndicate, two or
three years ago, secured a concession
for railroad building in the Chinese en-
pire, which gave to it a practicable mo-
nopoly, the British, German and Armeri-
can ministers in Pekin protested on the
ground that the concessions We're in
violation OF the most favored nation"
clause of the treaties. China thereup-.
on so modified the concessions as to
conf1ne the operations of the syndicate
to the Peking- Hankow line. England
and the United States co-operated
again in July of the present year for
the protection of the rights of the Eng
lish-American syndicate which has
concession for railroad from Hankow
to Canton and the sea. British and
American capitalists are Interested in
this enterprise and their governments
must protect them. In northern China,
however, the capitalists of the two
countries are not SO closely allied. In
fact, when Great Britain was attempt
ing to keep Russia from getting con-
troll of the railroad concession to Port
Arthur and from New Chwang toward
Peking, she sought American assist
ance and did not get it. We did not
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-11-17

( care whether Russia or England built
the road, If our treaty rights were re-
spected 1t lis conceivable that the Brit
ish government may now be willing to
allow us to get along without its tnfiu-
ence iii, securing the guarantees which
we desire. But we do not want to
think that this is probable.
But, even If we should fail to secure
those assurances from the British that
weseek in connection with New Chuang,
we do not think that the disaster
would he grave. The policy of Russia in
the Orient is a civilizing one, and in
spite of the criticisms of the opponents
Salisbury's administration, the British
premier has seemed to understand the
futility OF resisting the inevitable, Rus
STA will dominate northern China, not
withstanding the separate or combined
opposition of all the other powers.
What may be called the glacial drift
of the Russian iceberg Is in that d.
rection. The progress is slow, but it is
irresistible. Now, we in America care
more about the disposition of Russia
toward us in Chinese ports than about
keeping Russia out for the sake of
some other power. If Russia is friendly
and If we may enter our products at
New Chwang, it is a matter Of indiffer-
ence to US whether the British or the
Russian or the German or the Chinese
flag flies there. 1t is the belief Of the
Eagle that Russia intends to follow
the same policy in all the Chinese ports
which it now controls or may control,
that it has decided upon for the new
city of Dalmy to be built near Port
Arthur. That policy was set forth

Land Grabbing in the East.

IN DEALING with the question of
the open door" in China, Senator
Cullomof Illinois has lately express
ed some views that are strongly sugges-
tive of peculiarities in the policy of the
republican party, with reference both
to our internal and foreign affairs.
He is strongly in favor of the open
door" and thinks that a demand should
be made upon Russia, Germany and
France that they keep it open SO that
we may get our full share of the Chi
nese trade. He says that 1.-The large
eastern field should be open to interna-
tional trade. With this policy we win
be able to hold our own with other ma
tons" The Chicago Chronicle very per-
tinently calls attention to the incon-
sistency of this statement, with a de-
mand for about fifty per cent of protec-
ton to enable the American manufac-
turer to compete on equal terms in his
own home market. If we can hold our
own with all competitors in the Chinese
market, it is not easy to see why we
should need a high protective tariff to
keep these same competitors out of the
American market where we, at least,
have an advantage to the extent of
the transportation charges that our
foreign competitors must pay on their
goods.
Rrt this is merely Incidental to the
main idea which we desire to bring out.
Mr., Cullom is opposed to having the
United States take any part in the dis
mar7he-,~>,ant Of China and says:
lit would be an unfortunate move for
this government to participate m the

General Joubert.

If 1t is true that General Joubert has
been killed in action. the Boer
army has lost an exceptionally wise
and able commander. Although he
came of an old French Huguenot fam
lily, Joubert in physique and mental
characteristics was typical Boer. He
was 6S years, but still strong and Wig
orous, capable of enduring as much
hardship as any soldier in his army.
He began life as a farmer and later en-
tered law and politics. At one time he
was the attorney to the South African
Republic. and afterwards became its
vice president. Twice he has run
against Kruger for the office of presi-
dent In 1893 he came within SS1 votes
of beating Dom Paul Last year he
was defeated by more decisive ma
jority, Kruger's pronounced anti British
attitude serving to increase his popu-
larity materially.
For nearly 80 years Joubert, next to
Kruger himself has been the most
prominent figure in the Transvaal In
1880 he accompanied Kruger and Pre-
torius to England, and with them
formulated the memorable demand for
Transvaal indepenence. The demand
being refused, the triumvirs formally
declared theSouth African Republic free
and independent. In the war that fol-
lowed Joubert displayed high military
capacity. He was the hero of Majuba
Hill. personally directing the battle
that crushed the British force, out of
existence. 1T was he who organized the
Transvaal army and brought it to a
high state of efficiency. A writer in the
New York Herald tells how he divided
the country into seventeen military de-
partments, and each department
again into smaller divisions, with COM
manders, field comets and lieutenants
of various rank in charge. Every man
in the Transvaal became a trained SOL
deer without leaving his farm. Every
man had his complete equipment ready
at home. Eevery man was pledged to
appear at an appointed spot at the
summons, To mobilize the entire force
of the Republic Joubert had to send on
ly seventeen kilograms. The word
passed down the line, and in an incred-
IDLY short time hundreds of post riders
carried the summons from farm to
farm. Within forty-eight hours the en-
tire nation would be in arms, fully
equipped and provisioned for a month,
awaiting only the command to assem-
BILE. In the old days of Majuba Hill
the army thus assembled was an army
of sharpshooters. Then Joubert's proud
boast was true: Forty bullets per
soldier and a man per bullet"
Joubert was honest, frank and kind
hearted. Since the outbreak of hostil-
ties he has done many deeds that re-
veal his high and noble principles. He
has treated the British prisoners in his
possession with courtesy and consider
alton. he has caused the wounded to
be tenderly cared for, and the dead he
has given decent burial. In all his
formal communications with General
White. Joubert showed himself to he a
gentleman and a soldier. The Trans
wall could i'll afford to lose SO skilled a
general and so noble man.
