As Burdette Puts It.

Bob Burdette gives this simple rec
ipe: ''My homeless friend with the
chromatic nose, while you are stirring
up the sugar In 10-cent glass OF gin,
let me give you few facts to wash
down with it. You may say you have
longed for years for the free, independ-
ent life Of farmer, but you have
never been able to get money enough
to buy farm. But there is where
you are mistaken. For some years
you have been drinking a good i'm
proved farm at the rate Of one hum
dred square feet at gulp. II you
doubt this statement, figure it out
for yourself. An acre of land con-
tains i3, $50 square feet. Estimating
for convenience, the land at s43.56 an
acre, you will find that it brings the
land to just one mill per square foot.
Now pour down the fiery dose, and
imagine you are swallowing straw

The destruction of birds Ia becoming

investigation by sthe different govern
ments. A British consul In Venezuela
has just submitted to his government
u most elaborate report upon the sub
ject of killing birds In that country
for the purpose of supplying aigrettes
for wOmen's hats. He estimates that
the number of birds killed for that pur-
pose In 1893 was 1,53S,43S. According
to his statement no less than $40 birds
have to be slaughtered to produce less
than two and quarter pounds of the
smaller feathers. and he says ut Is to
be feared that this waste will, within

birds has already had far more dis

Nanderbilt's VIII,

New York Oct. 2S.-The provisions
of the will of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt have been made public in a
statement by Chauncey NJ. Depew
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits the
larger portion of his fathers fortune,
and becomes practically the head of
the Vanderbilt family.
The will makes no mention of the
marriage of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr.
and Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel
between the father and son because of
the union, but apparently the fathers
displeasure was visited upon his eldest
son, he receiving, all told, under the
terms of the will, but 81, 800, 900, and

Gertrude (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
will receive about 81, 500. 600 each. But

from his share enough TO Cornelius to

ENGLAND WATCHING RUSSIA.
Feared Russia May Extend Her Inhuene,

New York, Oct. 26.-The sailing of

an indication that some unexpected
attack upon British interests is posi-
BILE. The magnitude of the prepare
tions Of the war. which are out Of all
proportion to the requirements Of the
military situation, can be adequately
explained on the theory that the gov
eminent suspected that some great
power would be tempted TO seize the
opportunity for striking sudden blow
or carrying out a deeply cherished
policy.
The quarter from which such an at.
tack OF this kind may come is uumis-
takeable. The Russian press has had
license to criticise the English policy
in South Africa. in the most acrid way
and rumor that Herat may be occu-
pied, is already in the air British
commercial interests in Persia are so
large that a Russian seizure of the
commercial position in Western AZ
ghanistan would be a serious str olle,
aimed directly against free trade. That
seems more likely menace than the
forcing of the Dardanelles by the Rus
sian Black sea feet

her influence in China is also feared,

PRESIDENTS POLICY.

Washington. Oct. est is authori.
tatively stated that there will be no
halfway measures suggested for the
\ purpose of side-tracking the Philip
pine question until after the next cam
paign The president will face the
issue squarely and give congress the
best information possible from his
commissioners and other sources to
support the position he has assumed.
Although members OF the Philip
pine commission are not talking for
publication there is no doubt they will
lay stress in their report upon the
dcsirability of prominent and emphat-
ic declaration, on the part of congress,
which will convince those now in
rebellion that all branches of the gov
eminent are united on the question of
permanent American control of the
Philippines Such action, in the
opinion of Admiral De yey, and Prof.
Schurman, will be almost as effective
as guns in ending the war in the
Philippines
1t is now only a question of the
specific kind of government the presi-
dent will recommend. He will be gov
erned in his decision by the views of
the Philippine commissioners, whose
final decision will be the result of the
deliberations they are here for now.
The president is in favor of asserting
and maintaining complete sovereignty
over the Philippines at whatever cost,
and in favor of the most liberal kind
OF self-government when the insurrec-
ton ends, and in this he is sustained
by the commission.
The president is now working on
the part of his message regarding the
Philippines, assisted by the commits
sion.

BRITISH RETREAT.
lnsunlciency of Boer Communications
Save British Crushing Defeat.

London, Oct 2S.-The official an
nouncement of the joining of Gen.
White and ten. lule has come as a
great relief, and all the more so in
view of the fact that later dispatches
have shown that only the incapacity of
the intelligence department of the
Beers saved Gen Iule's column from
a great disaster
1t appears that the British evacuated
Dundee during a thunder storm lasting
two days, which stopped the Boer can
nonading, taking all they could, but
leaving plenty behind for the Beers to
loot The appointments of the Beers
hospital at Dundee are described as
very inadequate and primitive The
Beers themselves, in the absence of a
nursing staff, get only scant attention.
Gen. Iule's column had a very ex-
hausting march, chiefly, it is believed
by night. The reason of night march
is not given, but it was probably fear
of Boer surprises. The heavy rains
and mist hampered the march, but
were perhaps the means of saving Gen.
Iule from molestation. 1t took the
column twenty-Gour hours to cover the
last sixteen miles

Big Battle Imminent at LadysmIth, where
1900 Beers Are Opposing 10000
British Soldiers.

London. Oct 3l-The position at
Ladysmith, without being alarming,
is sufficiently dangerous to excite anxi-
ETY.. Evidently the Beers are trying
to repeat their Dundee tactics. Rough
ly estimated, they have 1900 men as
against 1000 British.
General Sir George Stewart White

lesser range. The delay in the Boer
attack is reported to be due to the nom
arrival of Commandant-G General Jorb-
erts column This has given the
British much needed respite after
their recent exertions.
Everything, it is now considered
hinges on General Whites resources
and judgment. Nothing is known
regarding the progress of defensive
works for the protection of Lady
smith.
Farmers in the neighborhood Of
Ladysmith have left their farms and
stock at the mercy of the Beers and
are congregated in the town. Two
guns the Beers have mounted are pow
erful weapons. They are the ones
used in Smelling Dundee, and it is a

London, Oct. 27.-During the debate
on the second reading Of the appropri.

which passed the second reading by a
vote of PA 10 IS, James II. Dalziel,
liberal member for Kirkcaldy, express
ed the opinion that one of the greatest
difficulties in arriving at settlement
witE PRESIDENT Kruger had been that
rightly or wrongly, the president had
believed Mr.. Chamberlain. the British
secretary of state for the colonies. and
Cecil Rhodes were identical. He add
ed that Mr.. Chamberlain had given
grounds for this belief by suppressing
kilograms.
The colonial secretary tartly inter
vened, saying: Il have never sup

them" Mr.. Chamberlain also denied
that he had refused to see DIR. Monta-
que White, the agent of the Trans
vaal, who, the colonial secretary add
ed, had never applied for an audience.
The speaker, William Court Gully,
ntervened at this juncture, and de-
clared all references to such matters
were out of order.
Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist
member for South Mayo, announced to
the house of commons that he would
resign tomorrow as a protest against
the Boer war. Mr.. Davitt denounced
the lingo press, and said the war for
the meanest and most mercenary aims

of the century. lie declared that if he

Cabinet Discussing Philippines.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The cabinet
meeting lasted two hours and half,
an hour longer than usual After the
adjournment the members were unu-
sually reticent. One member said tn e
president had cautioned them against
making any statement about the meet.
ing today, 1t can be stated however,
that the discussion related TO the
Philippines, and there is reason to be-
lieve it was in reference to military
and naval plans which are to be
placed in operation soon.
The Philippine discussion was
brought about by newspaper publ
cations of recent date, purporting to
outline the treaty of arrangement
which Gen. Bates has made with the
Sultan OF Sulu archipelago. Secretary
Root took occasion to point out the
unsoundness and unfairness, as he al
legged, of the criticisms which have
been put upon the friends of that ar
rangement, especially where they
relate to the question of slaveholding
in the islands.
