Especial Correspondence.1


m S SOON as President Kruger had
~ issued his warlke ultimatum, a
- certain faction Of Queen Veto
ria's gallant army INDUCED in all sorts
of vainglorious predictions. Gen. White,
they said, would march leisurely from
Pietermaritzburg, the Natal capital.
where he was stationed, up to Pretoria ,
and Gen. Foresier-Wallier, commander
in chief at Cape Town, was to lead his
hosts to the same point, by way of
Bloemfontein. Both expeditions, as
severated the military prophets, would
reach the Boer capital at about the
same time. Uncle Paul Kruger, after
having been duly Inundated, was to be
sent to st. Helena, there to die of a
broken heart or some other equally
touching ailment.
The world now knows that the Brit
ish promenade" to the Transvaal has
not been marked by victorious prog
ess. Instead of 10000 men, nearly four
times that number had to be sent to
South Africa, the government appropri-
alton of $50,000000 is already exhaust
ed, and the treasury has been compelled
to issue eXchequer bills to meet current
liabilities. AT the same time charges
of inefficiency are being made against
the war department by the treasury Of
ticials, and the military chiefs accuse
the civil branch of the government of
having for years pursued cheese-par-
ing policy which prevented Great Brit
ain from keeping pace with other Eu-

1t is some time since your CORE
spOndent from Dorset has found time
or news to relate connected with the
grange. The past week Washington
Pomona Grange met with Dorset
Grange, the meeting being very
pleasant affair, although the worthy
lecturers program was not what he
had planned, some of those with i'm
portant parts being absent.
Brother Simmons of Dorset Grange
offered a hearty welcome address
which was responded to by Brother
Barden, of Mt. Anthony, in a pleas
ing manner. After the literary
program the members were seated
around tables loaded with the delica-
cies furnished by the sisters OF Mt.
Anthony and Dorset oranges the men,
bers of the latter confirming the as
sured hospitality by passing steaming
plates of oysters until the inner man
boiled with brotherly love. The cleo
ton of officers followed without
strife, and with the following result:

preliminary arrangements. Derore ac-
tual mobilization takes place, the eabi-
net has, of course, arrived at de-
csion that the military forces of the
nation must be placed on a war foot
ing The cabinet has also decided
whether the circumstances are such
as to demand the calling out of the
whole or only part of the reserves
The queen in council then, by procla-
nation, orders the reserve out for per-
manent service. The general and
either officers concerned then arrange
for the proclamation to be posted in
all public places. A railway and pas.
sage warrant is at the same time sent
to each reservist, with notice to join;
and he is either, if pronounced phys
ically fit, drafted to his battalion to
complete it to war strength, or re-
mains at the depot for further dis
posal For the purpose of facilitate
ing the organization of reserve corps,
the United Kingdom is divided into
military district commands, as shown
in the accompanying map. the reserv-
lists reporting for duty at the nearest
district command.
Since the beginning of the South
African war two calls for reserves have
been issued, and it is probable that be-
fore long the entire force will have
to be put under arms. This is fore
shadowed by the action of the COM
missariat department, which is COM
pleting arrangements for supplies for
10000 troops and transport helpers,
and for 81, 900 horses and mules, for a
period of four months. The supplies
ordered for the time mentioned in
clude 100000 pounds of preserved
meat, the same quantity of biscuit,
400 1000 pounds of coffee. 100000 pounds
of tea, 100000 pounds of sugar, 7oo,-
900 pounds of compressed vegetables,
100000 pounds of salt, 100000 pounds
of timed mixture of meat and vege-
tables, 100000 tins of condensed milk
and 1,450,O0O pounds of jam. The
liquid supplies include $4,000 gallons
of rum. $4,000 bottles of whisky, 3D.
900 bottles of port, 100000 pounds or
lime juice, so tons of alum for purify
ing water. There is in addition sup
ply of 1000 pounds of tobacco. For
the horses and mules $4,000 tons of
hay, 81, 0CO tons of oats and 5000 tons
of bran are provided.
From all this it would appear that
the war department officials at Lon
don are beginning to realize that the
"promenade" to Pretoria is a serious
outing and one that, no matter what
the ending. will add many millions to
the national debt, to say nothing OF
the loss of thousands of precious lives.

different from that in vogue in

different from that in vogue in
other European states or in our own
country short description of il, based
upon information furnished By an Eng
fish army officer, may prove of general
interest.
The military forces of Great Britain
are divided into three categories-lhe
first line, the second Lire and the third
line. The first line is available for serv-
ices in all quarters of the glose, and is
composed of the regular army, the army
reserve and the militia reserve. The
two latter are utilized to bring the reg
ular forces to a war footing and arc
called out by proclamation in case of
national danger, and are liable to serve
anywhere, at home or abroad. The sec
ond line is composed Of the militia, and
is available for home defense and for
garrisoning foreign stations. 1t is q
thoroughly reliable force, hes been
| called to arms on seven different occa-
sions, and has never failed the country
The third line is composed of yeom lnry
and volunteers, and is called on only
as a last resource. 1t is available only
for home defense, and is never called
out except when the United Kingdom
itself is in danger of attack.
On January /, 1899, the British army
reserve, composed of regular soldiers.
consisted of nearly 10000 men, of whom
$4,000 were under 35 years of age, 90. COO
were between the ages of 80 and So, and
1000 between 35 and 40. The caalry re-
serve consisted of $500 men, the artil-
lery of 10000, the engineers of 5000. the
foot guards of $500. the infantry of the
line of 4s,300, the army service corps of
1900, the rest being departmental. On
the same date the militia reserve con-
sisted of 10000 men, composed of the
pick of the militia.
The procedure in regard to calling
out the reserves is as follows: When.
in the opinion of the war office, mobi-
lization appears imminent, general
and other officers commanding at
home and abroad are duly notified to
give their time to carry out necessary

day before leaving for Texas, said that
the Camera hzd struck directly at the
root OF the cause for the only uneasiness
now felt by those in the field, VIZ need of
cottages.
THE program" he said, I'VE are salts
fed will more than meet the demands of
the most exactlng; the electric road is a
grea, comfort. and has already been the
deciding argument. in favor of returning
to Boulder this year. with many of last
years Chautauquans who prefer to live
in town. The grounds are looking well.
and consider it a remarkable accom-
plishment on the part OF the people OF
Boulder to have things generally in such
splendid shape. 1t has been a big prop
osition. and great credit is certainly due
those who have SO nobly shouldered the
burden. In Texas we feel that there is
but one place where it will be possible
for the assembly, even in this it's second
year. TO fail of giving entire satisfaction.
and that is in the matter OF houses to live
in on the grounds. Having been con-
stan,ly in close touch with the people of
Texas now for nearly three months. l
know what their opinion is, and the vote
is almost unanimously against returning
to Boulder this year if tents are to be the
