going after them when he stopped into
a mud hole dug out to fill in bank.
The hole was covered with reeds and

Wednesday afternoon car float Of
the Wilmington & Northern railway
oareened and two cars laden with coal
and one car laden with iron toppled
into the river, The coal was swept
away, but the iron is lying in the
river bed and will all be recovered.
The cars were placed on the float to-
day. The trouble was caused by several
cars being taken from one side of the
float and one becoming derailed. This
left three loaded cars on the opposite
side of tho float and before it could be
properly secured it careened.
New Castle, Aug. 20. The survey OF

held within n few days and the pro-
posed route will be chosen. Bids will
be asked, and it is expected that the
work will be commenced in about &c
days.
The people of Delaware City arc
anxiously awaiting the construction OF
| the road, as are the people residing
along the proposed route. Many who

of way through his land for 81.
When the road is constructed {
freight line will be run between Della
ware City and Wilmington as often as

SMYRNA.

Smyrna, Aug. 80. Some farmers in
this neighborhood, who refused to
grow tomatoes for Gamers at Sc per
ton, are in quandary. Last year,
those who refused to contract struck it
all right, as tomatoes were in great
demand, but this season the situation
is reversed, and those who did not
contract do not know what to do with
their crops. The Smyrna Gamers will
not purchase any tomatoes outside of
their contracts, and the prices in the
cities are SO low that the farmers can
not get more than freight for their
shipments. Consequently, thousands
of baskets of tomatoes are rotting in
the patches.

In a review of the situation in South
Africa, printed by the London Times
of August 10th, it is shown that there
were at that time in Natal over 6,000
British regular troops and 1000 Euro
pean police and volunteers. In Cape
Colony there were about 1000 regulars
and over 1000 volunteers. In Rhodesja,
which is arming, large force of yolun-
teers is available and others in Bechu-
analand. Altogether it was estimated
that British force of 10000 regulars
and about 10000 volunteers was avail
able on August 10th in South Africa,
the regulars being susceptible of large
increase from naval brigade sent
ashore from the Cape squadron. Since
the date mentioned several thousand
regulars have been sent to the Cage
from England and large force will be
sent there when war is declared. From
India arrangements are being made to
send 1900 men, besides detachments
drawn from various colonies and pos
sessions. 1t seems to be intended to
run no risk by having an inadequate
army. Operations are expected to be
conducted from Natal. Already troops
are being stationed on the frontier of
Natal, Bechuanaland and Rhodesia to
guard against Boer inroads. The Por-
tuguese at Delagoa Bay are under arms
to prevent descent by the Beers on
Lorenzo Marquee in search of the sup
plies that have been stopped there at
England's suggestion.
The gravity OF the situation from the
British point of view is enhanced by
| the fact that Natal is the only colony
III the South that is clearly to be de-
pended upon. The Orange Free State
is in alliance with the Transvaal and
Cape Colony is equivocal, its govern
meDt being now in the hands of a
Boer ministry. Rhodesia, north of the
Transvaal, is unquestionably loyal and
| will contribute serviceable body Of
horsemen to the British cause. Bulu-
wayo has u population of 5000 and
Salisbury 1000, so that the Rhodesia
| element cannot be ignored. Colonel
Baden Powell has formed II large camp
near Buluwayo and is expected to
bring regiment down to Mafeking,
which is not far from the Transvaa
border. What aggregate of forces the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
can oppose to the British is unknown.
They will be aided, no doubt, by vol.
unteers in considerable numbers from
the Boer element in Cape Colony,
Natal and Rhodesia. On the othe'
hand, they will be embarrassed by thu
necessity Of retaining large force al
Johannesburg and several other towns
to look after the Outlanders. 1t is no
unlikely that they could put over 81, 0ot
volunteers in line against the British
regulars and volunteers. The existence
of several lines of railway leading int
the Transvaa effects the military prob
lem, making it easier than formerly fol
the British to bring us troops and sup
plies. As the Transvaal is inclosed il
British territory, except on the Portu
guese side, where there is British
fleet. it is cut off from all reinforce
ment.

i In the first half of 1899 England i'm
ported from Russia less than half as
much wheat as in the first half of 1898.
\ ct the imports of 1898 were from the
poor crop of 1897, and the imports of
1899 were from tho CROP of last year,
which was not supposed to be Y cry
bad, says the Portland Oregonian. The
decreased import from Russia was
1884, 600 hundred weights; the increase
of importation from all countries Was
nearly 1900, 900 hundred weights. The
increase from the United States was
739,57 from Argentina, $3.50, 500;
from India, 4Sl, 300, and from Aus
tralasia, 9S1, 4S0 hundred weights
These figures are exclusively of -four,
of which the British import from this
country and in tho aggregate was IA
little larger this year than last. That
our export of wheat and -four in the
fiscal year Just closed should have
slightly exceeded our export in the
year previous looks very much as If the
European crop of last year had been
overstated.
