Boston keeps a firm hold upon her
position as the second commercial port

In New York prize fight, the other
evening, one of the contestants was in
capacitated for further activities be-
cause his opponent, or opponents Sec
ond, had smeared something offensive
upon his gloves. The dispatches leave
deplorable doubt as to just what the
disturbing stuff was. One set of tele-
grams announce it as having been oil
Of musk; others as oil of mustard.
Either compound is about as ungrateful
thing as any sensitive-souled bruiser
would care to have showed into his
face, though for genuine knocking out
qualities the musk would undoubtedly
secure the championship.

Probably George Fred Williams
doesn't worry about his place on the
democratic national committee. The
state executive committee can safely
count upon his being an acceptablesub-
stitute for the Hon. John W. Corcoran,
whom the Worcester convention pushed
off in order to make room for him.
Judge Corcoran was regularly chosen
for the place by the state delegation to
the national convention, but that won't
trouble these modern democrats. 1t
didn't in Harrity's case. Judge Cor
coran is, of course, quite easy in his

And 35, 900 More Men for the South
African War.

London, Oct 1S.-The house today
agreed to consider the royal message
tomor- ow A motion by Mr.. Balfour
appropriating the entire special session
for government business was carried
by 279 votes against 49,
The debate on the address in reply
to the speech from the throne was
then resumed Philip James StanhOpe,
liberal member for Burnley, moved an
amendment strongly disappearing the
conduct of the negotiations with the
Transvaal He attacked the policy of
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, and demanded
that the latter should clear himself of
the charge of completely in the jane
son raid. After denOuncing the action
of Cecil Rhodes and the South African
league, Mr.. Stanhope said:
THE British high commissioner in
South Africa, Sir Alfred Miner, is lack
ing in qualities necessary to a diplO-
matte in his position. While entirely
acquiI Ig the government as a whole
of any connection with these doubtful
transactions and believing that they
are animated by peaceful motives,
am convinced that the secretary of
state for the colonies and British high
commissioner in South Africa, have for
the last two years been fully deter
mined that war and war only should
end this crisis and that they have
worked for this consummatiOn during
the last year.
The amendment was seconded by
Samuel Thomas Evans, liberal member
for the middle division of Glamorgan-
shire.
A supplementary army estimate has
been issued, asking the house of COM
mons to vote an additional $4,000 men
and 10000, 600 pounds sterling ($50, ,00O
0O0) in consequence of the situation in
South Africa. It is explained that the
50, 600 men represent the probable max
inum excess beyond the establishments
fixed for the next year, 1S99-19OO and
is in consequence of the calling out OF
a Ia for 1T1rareea a1-r
transfer of troops from the Indian to
the British establishment With the
additional 10000, 600 pounds, the total
army estimates are 80, ,617, 200 pounds.
