will be all completed tonight except,
perhaps, a little on the deck and the

the fourth story or attic into rooms at

building for electric lighting will be
practically completed tonight so far as
it can be done before plastering. The
splendid weather OF the fall has contrib

work and promises to do even more yet.

AUpcudicitfa.

An English doctor has advanced a new
theory of appendicitis. He says that the
habit of crossing one knee over the other
causes the disease. and that the various
other things alleged as the cause have
nothing TO do with it.
The history of this disease and of public
knowledge OF it and its causes is rather
curious. In the first place, appendicitis
was never heard of outside the medical
schools, until a few years ago, and then
cases appeared thick as blackberries in
July. There was a general appendicitis
scare. Everybody seemed to be liable to
the disease. Surgeons were in their glory
The public began to ask if there was no
way to avoid the alternative OF death or a
sursicar operation. There were many peo-
pie of limited means who valued their lives
and their pocketbooks almost equally.
They wished, if possible, TO avoid becom,
ing hospital patients on shortfnotice. Then
it was announced that grape seeds were the
cause of the calamity. and that those who
wished to be free from the possibility of
the dread malady should not swallow the
seeds when eating this fruit.
AS everyone knows, the only comfort
able way to eat a grape is to refrain from
chewing the pulp. The process of con-
scientiously extracting the seeds is both
laborious and distasteful. for thereby one
gets a certain tart favor not altogether en-
joyable. But numbers of nervous persons
carefully saved all their grape seeds, In
fear of calamity, or refrained from eating
grapes at all.
Finally the popularity of appendicitis as
fashionable and recherche disease began
to wane. 1t became subject for the CONT,
papers, and fewer and fewer cases of death
or recovery from it appeared in print. Now
it is announced that We may eat our craps
seeds in peace, and perhaps by and by some
scientist will discover that there never
was any such disease, after all.

Expert Opinion of the Beers.

Probably few people now living are as
! competent to speak with authority on the
conditions underlying the situation in
South Africa as Mr. Rider Haggard. the
novelist. He was with Sir Theophilus
Shepstone when that official annexed the
Transvaal to the Empire in 1877, and as
sisted at the raising of the British flag at
Pretoria Mr.. Haggard has spent years on
the Dark Continent and is as familiar with
the Beers as he is with the Zulus, Bechua-
mas. Mashonas, Swazes, and all the other
natives. which is saying good deal. His
views at time like the present are worth
considering.
In a recent interview Mr.. Haggard as
serted that the real cause of the present
war is the ambition of the Dutch element
throughout South Africa to secure the es-
tablishment of a great Afrikander republic
extending from Zambesi to the Cape. This
dream and design have been fostered from
without. and have long seemed possible OF
realization, in the minds of leaders at Pre-
toria. Bloemfontein. and among the Boer
element in the British colonies. 1t Is all an
outgrowth of the racial hatred with which
all the Dutch element regard the British,
and it has always meant an ultimate strug-
gle for supremacy
The Beers, according to Mr.. Haggard,
will not stay long in the field. The rank
and file are composed of men unused to
absence from home, who will be soon af-
ficted with nostalgia; the sooner perhaps
as they learn that this war involves being
killed as well as killing. That is some
thing they are quite unprepared for. In
all their history they have only had one
square fight against white troops. That
was when they met Sir Harry Smith at
Bloemplatz, and then they were routed.
For the rest they have always rested in
laagers or hid behind rocks and potted ma
tives or bodies of Englishmen Insignificant
in point of numbers compared with them
selves. AS to the natives, the famous nov
elist declares that they hate the Beers;
that it was this that precipitated the Zulu
war. and now he thinks that the blacks
generally will insist upon a chance at their
old enemies. Summing up the situation.
Mr. Haggard says: III We are to stay in
South Africa we must rule in South
Africa-it Is a case of govern or CO."

THE WAINWRIGHT SWORD.
The Fund Now Exceeds Five Hun
dred Dollars.

uTeu DOklafD.
The fund which is to be applied to the
purchase and presentation of a sword of
honor to Commander Richard Wainwright
in recognition of his gallantry in sinking
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers Furor
and Pluton, now exceeds $500. 1t is gov
ing daily, but the committee has under
consideration plans for raising the amount
needed more rapidly. An effort will be
made to secure small subscriptions. and it
is believed that the children of the city
will take an interest in the proposed DEM
onstration, when they shall have been in
formed by the committee that Commander
Wainwright was a Washington boy and
attended the schools In this city. F. P. B.
Sands. treasurer of the fund, said Times
reporter to-day: "a dime is as welcome
as a dollar.
1t is proposed that when the money is in
hand and the sword in readiness, a
committee. of Washington people shall go
to Annapolis, the present station of Com
mander Wainwright, and escort him to this
city. He will be met at the railroad sta
tion by bodies Of representative men and,
escorted by a procession. will go to some
great public hall, where the presentation
will be made.
Secretary Root and Secretary Long have
already been approached on the subject,
and it is said that they have virtually
acquiesced in the plan to have the cavalry
at Fort Meyer, artillery at the Washington
barracks, and the marines at the marine
barracks and the navy yard. together with
the Third Cavalry and Marine Bands. take
part. The National Guard. it is under

Passengers From Cape Nome On n
Overcrowded steamer.
SEATTLE. Wash, Oct. 31.-With thous-
ands of dollars in their possession 173
persons arrived here on the verge Of starv-
alton. Two died on the voyage for lack
of food. One was crazed. All are more or
less sick. These people took passage on
the three-masted schooner Hera, which
left Cape Nome on September &c. They
knew they would have to sleep anywhere
they could on the oyercrowded vessel. but
they we're told there would be plenty OF
food
At the beginning Of the voyage the pas
sengers were given two meals a day. They
were so anxious to get back to civilization
to spend the yellow gold they did not
mind. Then the Hera ran into heavy
gale. That was when she was four days
out. The next day no meals were served.
Such passengers as were able made their
way to the galley, where they got picked
pigs feet out Of a tub.
The butter gave out, then the sugar.
Within ten days the food supply was al
most wholly exhausted. Then the water
supply failed. The passengers were given
some bread made with salt water and chic
ory for coffee, without sugar or milk.
made from rain water that accumulated in
the iron life boats and befouled with to-
bacco juice.
Contrary winds made it impossible for
the schooner to make a harbor. For
twenty-four days those on board subsisted
on some bread, the rain-water coffee. and
salt horse that could be eaten only under
great stress.
Joseph Ryan, OF Sacramento, died on
October 16, and George Lamby died on Oc-

man lost his mind and was brought ashore

The Navy Department today re -ived
telegram from Captain Chadwick, OF The

The officials of the Navy Department are
greatly pleased with the first report of tbs
tests of the system as it indicates that tho
wireless telegraph will prove Of great value
to the department. The distance of the New
York from shore was not stated in the tele-
gram, but it is supposed that she was from
three to five miles at sea- The communi-
cation was established by the New York
with the Massachusetts, and, after messages
were iuterchanged. the New York flashed
tie information received TO the Navy De-
partment from the wireless telegraph sta
ton at Navesink 1t was sent 10 Washing
ton by wire This was the first message from
the wireless telegraph received al the de-
partment.
Weather reports from all along the coast
show that heavy storm has besn raging.
and it is believed that the teSts made by
the New York and Massachusetts were
conducted under adverse conditions
The greatest distance at which objects
at sea can be viewed with glasses is sa d
to be from nine to twelve miles. and, as
the ships are thirty-six miles apart it
may be realized that the experimenting
warships are laboriDg at a g-eat disadvan-
tage.

Dignity and Impudence.

Our Spanish friends have not done any
thing for the world to smile at for so long
time that 1t is relief to realize how
much unconscious and even pathetic humor
they are still capable Of. In view Of the
naval activity noticeable on the part OF
the British Government, the Spanish navy
has been ordered to concentrate at Cadiz.
What the consequences of this desperate
movement may be, We know not; but 1t
certainly will cause Lord Salisbury an ILL

Stock Exchange. We may look to see Brit
ish consols used for wall paper in a few
