t S0UN1S QUITE WAaIEE.
Continued from First Page.

Most important light has been
thrown upon the situation by frank
statement tonight to the Associated
Press by Sir Walker Peace, agent gem
eral for Natal in London, who fought
against the Beers in former years. He
said:
The attitude of the Orange Free
State means its inevitable acquisition
by Great Britain. Peace in South At
RIGA can only be accomplished by war.
In my opinion war would not last
more than two months. In order to
make pacification effective, Great Brit
ain must assume absolute control over
the whole of South Africa
SO far as the position of Natal is
concerned, all this talk about poor, un-
defended Natal is nonsense. There will
be little or no fighting in Natal, if it
comes to a war, and / fear that no other
issue is now possible What do you
think 10000 British troops would be
doing while this much talked of Boer
raid was in progress? Our railways
are in good working order and our
troops can be transported quickly. The
bad weather conditions have been mag
nified. A campaign could be carried
On now just as well as in any other
season.
1.-TWO morths from the day Gen. Sir
Redvers Butler lands the fighting will
De over If the Free State had been
loyal, fighting would not have lasted
fourteen days. 1t is the luckiest thing
in the world. however. that the Free
State has been foolish enough to take a
hostile attitude, for that means her adj
dition to British possessions. The Free
State would always have been a dis
turbing factor in the quiet of South
Africa.
Great Britain has the power to work
out ultimate peace 1t remains to be
seen whether she has the spirit. Upon
the conclusion of war, which must be
unfinching in order to be effective,
British control must be absolute over
all South Africa, in Cape Colony, Ma
tai and other sectors. Half measures
would only prolong unrest and produce
more disturbances.
Il have known the Beers as we'll as
any man. I have lived among them
and l have fought them. To exist
peacefully so close to them is an utter
impossiblity. Negotiations are we'll
enough in their way, but British con-
troll Of the Transvaal must come even
tuaNy. For years the Beers have been
crying Throw the Outlander into the
sea-, and Out with him. Possibly
they are not so virile as during the
last war, but there is little difference.
My idea is that if the Beers were
caught in the open once or twice the
thing would be ended. Kill five hun
bred of them and all that wouli le-
main for England to do would be TO
send a few shiploads of Grape. They
never have stood in the open, and il
war comes now they will have to do
more than stay in the hills.
"This is not optimistic twaddle, but
an opinion based upon my experience
in campaigns against the Beers.
have not the slightest fears for the
safety of my colony or its towns. 1t
is possible that few Boer incursions
might get a few miles into Natal, but
no further, and it must be remembered
that many of those living on the edge
of the Natal border are themselves
Beers"

THE PROPOSED LOAN oRDlNANoE.

THE PROPOSED loan ORDINANCE.
The Register is advised that the draft
of the proposed refunding ordinance
for this city is about complete, and
that the special Council Committee
will probably be called, about the first
of the coming week, to consider the
document. The measure provides for
a ten-thirty loan, in series, and carries
about $425, 900. or all of the city debt
open to refunding. That the ordinance
will pass the committee in practically
the form in which it is drafted is I'M
doubted, but it is pretty certain to
give rise to an extended debate in
Council, which may result in a radical
change in form. There is a very con-
siderable sentiment in favor of so
modifying the measure as to provide
simply for the refunding of the COM
promise loan, leaving the other city
bonds to be paid off as they mature
under the old system, and the eompar-
alive merits OF these two ideas will
doubtless be set forth in extenso. 1t is
very doubtful whether the people will
approve of a refunding ordinance for
practically the entire city debt, even at
four per cent, and the time has gone
by when lower rate of interest can
be expected Perhaps four and one
half per cent. is as low as the city
can negotiate loan, at present.

THE ApuLTEKAT,oN OF FLOUR

One explanation of the fact that our
wives do not make the same fiaky hot
biscuits that mother used to make"
may be found in the researches of Chi
cago chemist, who, after patient inves-
tigation has ascertained that there is
an extensive and widespread adulter-
alton of -four with white clay found
near Greensboro S. c., and which is
openly advertised as affording a
saving of $500 to $500 per car load of
flour" 1t is further explained that
this earth is now largely taking the
place of a white rock, formerly ground
and mixed with -four. but the rock
showing a tendency. by its superior
weight, to settle to the bottom of bar
rels and sacks while in transit. the
white clay is coming into favor. 1t is
also asserted that a glucose by-product,
containing SO per cent. of pure starch,
has become so popular with millers that
its price has lately advanced from S1.22
to $3.50 per bag, and this particular
adulterGte, besides containing a decid-
ed percentage of sulphuric acid, is said
to be so devoid Of nutriment that man
would have to eat one hundred and
fifty pounds per day, if that were a
physical possibility, to keep in condi-
ton. Some samples of flour purchas-
ed in the open market, are said to have
yielded, upon analysis forty per cent.
of adulteration of one sort and other,
and this -four bears the brand of sup
posed reputable millers. 1t is a matter
about which something should be done,
for the flour combine appears to be an
exceptionally greedy one.

for a still more general application of
precautions That many men killed

fifty thousand railroad men have been
killed or wounded. 1t is time to stop

RECENT COMMENT.

ENGLAND A PIRATE NATION"
New York Sun.
1t was strong language that John Morley
used the other day in his speech when he
said that if England used her vast pre-
ponderance of force to coerce a feeble COM
monwealth into virtual surrender of its
independence she would run the risk of
being branded by mankind as a pirate
nation The epithet stings but it will
stick if England insists upon subverting
the Pretoria government for no bettef rea-
son than because President Kruger prefers
seven years to five years as the term of
residence required for naturalization.

pays the penalty at each end.

THEINDIAN PROBLEM.

Mrs. Amelia S. Quinton has written
for the Women's National Indian As
ISOLATION, an address, delivered at
Portland, Me-, which embodies some
excellent thoughts upon the Indian
problem.
Among other things Mrs. Quinton
says:
THE professional object of our Govern
ment in its Indian service is the civiiza-
ton of our Indians and their speedy prep
aration for the status of American citizen
ship. The way to both can be short. Let
but the protested object become the real
object, and the needed work. as already
Illustrations can be quickly done. Again
and again have the best and wisest friends
of the red man pointed out the way. i
is. First, by the continuous service of well
selected officials. Second by placing the
care of our Indian schools under our gen.
eral superintendent of Education. This
alone would close half the work of the
Indian Bureau. Third. by abolishing the
reservations as fast S Indians have their
lands in severalty, and one-third of the
sixty reservation agencies could, and
should, we are told by those most compe-
tent to judge, thus be abolished, now, and
years be similarly closed. Thus the
called Indian problem, and the greet diff
culties of the Indian situation would for
ever disappear and our nation could COM
SiStenly turn to the great island problems
prOVidentially forced upon it.

ANotHEK AMERICAN WORLDS FAIR.

The project to hold a Worlds Fair
in St Louis in 1908 has assumed such
form that it is practically certain Of ac-
complishment and while it may not
equal the Chicago exhibition or COM
pete in point of gorgeousness with the
similar event to take place in Paris
next year, it will probably surpass both
these affairs in many points of inter-
est, not. the least being the centraliza-
ton of that rapid modern progress in
manufactures and the arts so typical
of the end of the century. The people
of st. Louis are enthusiastically in IA
vor of the Fair, the idea of which ORR
ginated with Mr. Charles NJ. Harvey,
associate editor of the Globe-Democrat,
ten years ago, and who succeeded in Sc
curing the endorsement of Congress a
year ago last February. The local sub
scriptions now aggregate five million
dollars, and at the coming session Con-
gress is to be asked to vote five mil
lions more. With ten millions of ac-
tual capital much may be accomplish
ed, but even this large sum will prob
ably be increased by the issuance OF
securities in some form or another. st.
Louis it not as big city as Chicago,
but it is imbued with the same progress
sive spirit and the State of Missouri and
her neighbors will aid in achieving that
success which the metropolis of the Mis-
sissippi valley deserves.

Still later the reporter said:

He led the way into his wardroom,
where he exhibited with considerable
pride among other things the photograph
of che of Mania's leading bellies, young
Filipino woman
when you look upon the picture the
most pessimistic would have to acknowl-
edge that the Filipinos were not savages,
said Dewey. "She is one of three dauSh-
tiers, two of whom are married to wealthy
Englishmen. Speaking Of Filipinos re-
minds me that one of the most promising
features about the whole business is the
general appearance and condition of affairs
at the Straits Settlements. There one can
see the Filipinos who have been brought
more directly under the influence of the
English than their brothers"
All this shows very considerable
amount of respect for the Filipinos on
the part of the Admiral, vino certainly
knows them as well as any man pos
sibly can, and at the same time indi-
Gates a very marked mental reserva-
ton as to details and reasons for his
beliefs. which will doubtless be express
ed later on. His expression, "All will
come out right-it must" is full of
meaning.

DEWEY ON TIE FILrpINos.

Upon his arrival in New York har-

was interviewed upon variety of mat
tiers, and among other things was ask
ed his opinion of the Filipinos. In re-
ply to the first question, of some
what general character, he said, in
part:
.'They are good soldiers-splendid ones
and their powers of endurance are re-
markable.''
Later he was asked:
DO you consider that the Filipinos are
yet capable of government. at least
enough so to allow of the withdrawal Of
the American forceS?'
No, they are not; but in time they will
be. 1T is bound to come out right-bound

ing themselves than the Cubans are.
Some of them, | doubt not are now
capable of administering affairs, but the

ideas of an honest and efficient govern

don't know the meaning of the word non
