Queen Victoria refuses to permit
her son, the Duke of Connaught,
Chief-of-Staff to General-in- Chief
Roberts, to go to South Africa for
service in the Boer war, notwith-
standing his chief, Gen. Roberts,
has been ordered to the front. This
not only reveals the real dangers of
the campaign, but is an injustice to
the Duke, who is the most manly
of the Queens sons, and ever so
ready to dc service. He offered to
forfeit all title and official rank and
go in any capacity as a volunteer,
but the Queen declined to yield.

The thoughtless Americans who
are shouting for the Beers and
wishing their success have not the
slightest comprehension of the fact
that next to a defeat of the United
States, the greatest calamity to the
United States would be the defeat
of Great Britain by the Beers. -
Courier Journal.
Right you are. No "thoughtless
American" has for over a hundred
years had the slightest compre-
hension," nor have the vast ma
jority of the Americans become
less "thoughtless" on that slight
est comprehension than were the
patriots of 10 who carried their
thoughtlessness to the extent of
fighting against and freeing them
selves from such slightest compre-
hension." 1t is true that then, as
now, there were those who regret
ted the course of the "thoughtless
Americans, and they and their
SUCCESSORS have never ceased to re-
greet it. The Tory of 10 and the
Anglomaniac of to-day are the
same. AS the thoughtless Ameri-
cans" Of 70 disregarded the admo-
nitions of the Tories, so the
''thoughtless Americans Of today
ignore the warnings Of the Anglo
maniacs-and 50 may il ever be.
No matter what may happen to

NINETEEN HUNDRED.

The new year is upon us and
soon the Changing bells will an
nounce the dying of the old year
and the birth of 1900. To most OF
MS the old year has brought with it
both veal and woe, and on looking
back we find Father Time has, on
the whole, dealt mercifully with us,
and it is with.a pang of regret we
bid 1899 good bye and take up the
year of 1900. Fearful of what this
young changeling may bring us,
we in trepidation start to write
1000, the last year of this century,
hoping though that peace and pros
perity may be with us till the next
century.
This is the usual time for making
good resolutions, and those that
were made year ago and broken
are wiped off the slate and new
record commenced. Do not think
you can entirely revolutionize
either the world or yourself in a
few days, so just start in gently,
and instead of the usual dozen or
so good resolves select one or two
and decide to live up to them.
One of the most important and
which, if lived up to, would bring
in its train many others, is to be
true to ourselves. This is not so
easy as may appear on the face. To
have the moral courage to always
say No" when we feel we should,
and to do as our conscience ap-
proves without deferring to outside
opinion, is no easy matter. But
this one resolution lived up to

The mere rumor that Irishmen
of Omaha are discussing a Fenian
invasion of Canada will add to
Britain's worry and cause English
detectives to keep an eye on the
Nebraska city and the Canadian
border. AS fear of an uprising in
India has caused a recall of the
order for troops to South Africa, so
it need not be surprising if no more
troops leave Canada to help whip
the Beers. John Bull just now is
so frightened it takes but little to
give him a conniption fit at the
sight of his shadow.

The year 1899 in retrospection
has many pleasant recollections.
AS nation we are growing strong
er and are bringing peace and en-
lightment to other peoples. We
are keeping apace of the times and
are marching abreast in the paths
of science and progress. We are
looked upon as one of the strongest
nations in the world, and our word
has weight in whatever councils we
participate. We can but hope that
the new year will be as successful
as was the old.
In closing up this year the Ken
lucky Irish American thanks its
many readers for their substantial
support, and hopes for continu-
ance of the sanic, and it wishes a
happy and prosperous year, with
peace and plenty, to every reader

rate the total loss will approximate

The Transport Mcpherson, With
Supplies, Left New York
for Porto Rico.
WILL REACH SAN JUAN FRIDAY NIGHT.
Secretary of War Issues an Appeal to
the Governors of States for
More Supplies.
The Devastation wrought by the Recent
Herrlcane in Por,o Rico Worse
Than First supposed-Many
People Destitute.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The secre-
tary of war Monday afternoon issued
the following appeal to governors of
States for aid for the storm sufferers
in Porto Rico:
"Sir: 1 inclose herewith copies of
two telegraphic dispatches received
Sunday evening from the governor
general of Porto Rico by which it ap-
pears that the devastation wrought
by the recent hurricane in that island
is even greater than was at first sup
posed. 1t is evident that great mnlt
titude of people, rendered utter
ly destitute by this awful calam7.
ity, must be fed and cared for
during a considerable period, until
they can have the opportunity
to produce food for themselves. Enor-
nous quantities of supplies of the
kinds indicated by the governor gener-
al must be procured.
1.-THE magnitude of the work to be
accomplished leads this department to
supplement the appeal already made
to the mayors of the principal cities
of the country by more general ap
peal, and beg you to ask the people
of your state to contribute generously
to the relief of the people of Porto
Rico.
"Swift steamers have been provided
to leave the port of New York to carry
the supplies directly to Porto Rico as
rapidly as they can be collected.
contributions should be either in
supplies of the character indicated or
in money so that the supplies can be
purchased. The supplies should be
sent to Col F. B. Jones, army building,
foot of Whitehall street, New York
city, in packages plainly marked 'Por-
to Rican relief, and he should be con-
suited as to the time of shipment.
Money should be sent to the National
Bank of North America, New York
city, which has been designated as
depository for the relief fund.
Very respectfully,
ELIHU RooT,
Secretary of War.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen
Monday wrote Secretary Root that the
navy desired to cooperate in every
way it could in rendering assistance to
the storms tricken people of Porto
Rico, and rendering a warship to be
placed at the disposal of the war de-
partment, if it was desired to convey
supplies to the island. The offer,
doubtless, will be accepted, as every
ailable means is being adopted to
hurry along the great stock of sup
plies, which is imperatively needed.
Mr. Allen is in telegraphic communi-
cation with several naval stations with
a view to having ship ready as soon
as the war department wants it.
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The transport
Mcpherson with cargo of supplies
for the storm sufferers of Porto Rico,
left her pier in Brooklyn Monday
afternoon. About two-thirds of the
original cargo of army supplies were
left behind to make room for the guam
titles of rice, beans, grain, clothing,
lumber, etc, required for the immedi-
ate necessity of the sufferers Up to
within a quarter of an hour of sailing
voluntary donations kept piling in. 1t
is expected that San Juan will be
reached not later than Friday night.
