He said in part Fellow citizens, J
thank you for this warm, generous
welcome. We are happy people. The

Captains Killed.

Washington, Oct. pa cablegram
from Gen. Otis confirms press dis
patches regarding Gen. Schwan's
movement on San Francisco De Mala-
bon. He. says: 'Schwan was success
full Tuesday in driving the insurgents
south with loss from San Francisco

disintegrated and retiring on divergent
roads which are impossible for artil-
Iery wagons. There is no intention
of occupying this country permanently
or temporarily. The transportation
wagons will return by way of Rosario.
The column will move in the direction
of Dasmarinas, probably retiring on

Says No Force Was Used in the Ne

Columbus, Ohio, Oct 12-The first
public utterance of Judge Day, presi-
dent of the American peace commits
sion, concerning the deliberations of
the commissioners at Paris, is con-
tanned in a letter written to Former
Congressman Watson of this city and
read by him at republican meeting
Wednesday. Judge Day sets forth
reasons, which, in his mind, justified
the payment of the $20,OOO,0O0 for the
Philippines, declaring it was never con-
tended by the American commissioners
that the United States had right to
press for possession as a matter Of con-
quest He says that the subject was
made plain in the printed protocol of
the joint committee, published last
winter after the treaty was submitted
to the senate.

ton. Some mistakes may have been

been conducted in a most able, cOnscf-

look after the interests of Great
Britain in the Transvaal in the event

Chicago, Oct. IA cablegram was
received Wednesday night by the
Tribune from President Kruger OF the
Transvaal republic as follows:
Through the Tribune we wish to
thank our many American friends for
their sympathy in the present crisis OF
the republic. Last Monday we gave
England 48 hours notice to give assur-
ance that the dispute would be settled
by arbitration or other peaceful means.
That notice expired at o'clock today.
The British agent has been recalled
andWar is certain. This is fitting end
to the British policy Of force and fraud
which has marked all south Africa
with the blood of Afrikanders. We
must now make south Africa free or a
white mans grave. The republics
forces include all nationalities, among
them strong American corps, show
ing it is not a case of boer against
uitlander but all nations against Eng
land. We have full faith in freedom
and republicanism and the righteous
ness which guides the destinies OF ma

New York Resolutions.

New York, Oct. IA great mass
meeting was held at Carnegie hall
Wednesday night to express sympathy
with the beers in the controversy with
Great Britain. Augustus Van Wyck,
democratic candidate for governor in
opposition to Roosevelt, presided. The
societies represented included the
DAUGHTERS of the American Revolution
the Sons of the Revolution, the Colo
NAL Danes, Loyal Legion, the Hol-
land society, the Holland Danes and
the United-Irish. Gen. O'Bierne, rep
resentative of the beers in this coun-
try, also Congressman Warner, Brig
adler Gen. Roe, Dist. Atty. Gardiner,
Gov. Pingree of Michigan, Senator
Mason of Illinois, Senator Platt of New
York, Senator Teller of Colorado, and
other prominent men were present.
The meeting petitioned the president
to offer the friendly offices of the Unit
ed States to secure peaceful settle
ment by arbitration between Great
Britain and the South African Repub-
| lic Mr. Van Wyck made a speech in
which he characterized the pending
struggle is one of the strong against
| the weak. Bourke Cochran followed
and spoke more than an hour. He
said that the United States has as
much right to intervene to prevent ag-
gression and preserve peace as Eng
| land has for the qualification Of greed
and the spoilation of territory. ResO-
| Iutions were adopted as follows:
This meeting, having considered the
difficulty between Great Britain and
the South African Republic and having
examined the relations of those two
states as defined by the congress of 81
and "a, is of the opinion that Great
Britain does not have any right Of in
tervention in the internal affairs OF
the South African Republic by treaty
or initial law. This meeting is also OF
the opinion that the South African Re-
public; although not bound to comply
with any demands of Great Britain, has
shown a proper and commendable will
| lingness to consider alleged grievances
and to grant reasonable privileges,
| therefore, it is the duty of Great Brit
aim not to force a conflict upon south
Africa but to either accept the offered
reforms or leave the matter to arbitra-
ton. A copy of these resolutions is to
be transmitted to the government Of
the United States, Great Britain, and
the South African Republic.
Cable News Meagre.
London, Oct. 12.-Up to midnight on
Wednesday, no dispatches had arrived
from Cape Town since the expiration
of the ultimatum. 1t is not yet known
whether the first shot has been fired.
The absence of news from the Cape
since early morning was not due to an
interruption of the cable but to pres
sure of work, the cables probably being
nearly monopolized by the British gov
eminent dispatches, which take pre-
cedence. But two cables run to Cape
town from Europe. The one on the

and then dip the end of stick OF
caustic potash in water, and then rub
it on the button until the skin begins
to start. The application should be
made when the calf is from one to
three weeks old. In the majority of
cases that will lie the end of horn
growth on that calf. The entire stick
of potash, except the end that is APP
piled to the button should be wrapped
with paper to prevent burning the
hands.
Mature animals should not be de-
horned in fly time. 1t has been done,
and the application of tar has pre-
vented bad results, but it is inndvis-
able. We do not advise a novice to
undertake the operation. Better EN-

Transferring Bees from Box Hiyes.

There are at least three ways oil
transferring bees from box hives into
movable frame hives. The old method
is to pry open the old hive with cold
chisel and hammer and cut out the
combs and fit them into the frames OF
the movable frame hive and fasten
them in with sticks and strings. After
trying this method on several colonies
l must pronounce it messy, sticky and
unsatisfactory. A much better way is
to drive them out by the following
plan: Take the hive which is to be
transferred under tree in the shade
or alongside of building and turn it
bottom up, place on top of it an empty
box of the same size, blow in a little
smoke at the bottom occasionally and
drum on the old hive with a couple of
sticks for ten or fifteen minutes.
Nearly all the bees and the queen will
go up into the empty box above. In
the meantime place the hive in which
you wish to put the bees on the stand
where the old hive stood, so as the
field bees which will be coming in all
the time have place to 60. OF course
they will be rushing in and out, not
knowing what to make of it. Take
the box of bees and dump them in
front of the new hive and they will
soon run in and make themselves at
home. Stand the old hive in a new
location and drum out again in twenty
one days. Put these bees in a new
hive or add them to the old colony as
you prefer. If one desires two hives
from the one, it is best to let the old
box hive cast swarm first, then drum
in twenty-one days. and the one drum
ming will be all that is necessary.
Still another way, which is better
and less work than either of the above
methods if one wishes to keep the
whole force together and get the most
honey, is to take movable frame hive
full of combs a week or two before
swarming time and place under the
box hive, closing the entrance of the
upper hive and compelling the bees
to go through the new one. When
honey begins to come in rapidly the
bees will crowd the queen into the lower
story, always putting the honey above
the brood. When the queen is laying
nicely in the lower story, put queen
excluder between the two hives and
soon all the brood will be Matched out
above and the combs will be filed
with honey. 1t can be taken of, the
combs cut out, the honey extracted,
the old combs melted into beeswax
and the old hive cut up into kiudling
wood. l am trying some this wav
now and find it the most satisfactory
method OF all, getting more honey and
wax and keeping down the increase.

skirnmiik Excellent Humaa Food.


Skimmilk contains nearly all of the
food value of the original milk, with
the exception of the fat, and even this
may be present to the extent of from
one-tenth to l per cent. 1t contains
from 3.5 to per cent of protein,
about per cent of milk sugar and 8
per cent of ash or mineral matter.
Its chief value is as q muscle making
food and hence it is of great value to
growing children or laboring people.
Its economy as an article of diet can
best be shown by comparing it with
other foods. Twent five cents will
purchase 8 ID times as much total nu-
trients aud five times as much protein
in skimmilk at two cents per quart as
IN slrloin steak at twenty-five cents,
or four times as much nutrients and
) - times as much protein as mutton
shoulder at fifteen cents per pound.
Or three quarts of skimmilk, worth
from six to eight cents at retail, will
hold more total nutrients and more
protein than pound OF round steak.
At the present prices the only COM
moa food mate: iais that will furnish
more protein for given sum of
money than skimmilk are beans,
wheat flour, oat meal, corn meal and
salt Goldfish.
