of the late Eugene Field will rejoice
to know that the final report of the

ample funds wherewith to not only
build a monument, but provide hand

TOMORROW THE DAY.
LONDON, October 1.-The Berlin
correspondent of the Daily News says:
According to advices from the Hague,
DIR. Leyds, the European representative
of the Transvaal, has named Tuesday
as the day for the formal declaration
of war by the Beers. There is an I'M
confirmed r1mor in circulation here
that Queen Victoria has written Queen
Wilhelmina, of the Netherlands, de-
ploring the turn events have taken in
South Africa, and assuring the Dutch
monarch that she has gone to the ut
most limits of her constitutional

A PAINFUL SITUATION.
LONDON, October 2.-The Cape
Town correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says:
almost every Afrikander in the
Cape House of Assembly or actively
engaged in political life, and almost
every minister of the Dutch Reformed
church in the colony, has relatives In
the Boer forces. j. w. Sauer, the COM
missioner Of public works, has several
uncles who have been Communicated.
and Mr.. Hofmeyer, the Afrikander
leader, has nearly a score of relatives
in the Transvaal. A painful line of
cleavage between British and Afrikan-
ders is already manifesting itself"
ASKS A POTENT QUESTION.
LONDON, October 2.-The Pretoria
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle,
~telegraphing at noon Sunday, says:
81 have seen the leading members of
the executive of the Transvaal, who de-
sire, through the Daily Chronicle lat
the last moment, to ask what the two
kindred nations are going to fight
about. They point to the fact that a
large number of Outlanders of all ma
tionalities are arming in defense of the
republic. They point to the unanimity
of feeling in the Orange Free State,
which, they say, should make England
pause"
They aim at a union with England
like that of Scotland, not Ireland, and
they urge that it will be a war like
the wal which lost England her Amer
lean colonies, and that it will benefit
neither the English nor the capitalists.
The greatest excitement prevails
here. Thirty-six trains with armed
burghers were dispatched yesterday
Saturday amid terribly pathetic
scenes. Thousands of refugees, white,
Malays and Kaffirs, have gone to the
Cape in open trucks. Strict orders
have been issued to the Boer command
ers on the frontier to restrain their
men from firing. The rains have be-
gun to fall and plenty Of forage will
soon be obtainable.

STRANGE TALK FROM OTIS

Milwaukee Sentinel.
The question" General Otis is repre-
sented as saying, SIS whether it would be
wise to hasten the ending of the insured
ton" This is a very unusual subject of
speculation by a general in the face of
the enemy. The commander in chief,
President Mckinley. is understood to be in
favor of ending the instruction at the
earliest possible moment. So is everybody
else, except General Otis, who argues that
every day the Instruction lasts the Filipl-
nos grow sickle and more Disguised with
independence

The Ohio Democracy has opened the
campaign in that State in a manner
calculated to make Republicans look
straight down their noses while en-

AN ADMINISTRATION SUGGESTION.

Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, is
one of those Republicans who neds
every time the administration winks.
and his more important utterances are
supposed at all times to reflect the pol
icies and inclinations and wishes of the
President and his advisors. This fact
gives more than ordinary importance
to the remark of Mr.. Grosvenor that
1.-THE trusts should not be made a po-
litical issue. 1t is an economic ques-
ton, and should be treated as SUCH"
1t will strike the average citizen
that economic questions" have not
only frequently-nay, generally-been
made political issues, but in addition
that they properly belong to political
discussion and action. If the trusts
are to be curbed, legislation, both State
and national, must be had, that legIsla-
ton should be in line with the beliefs
and wishes and interests of the great
masses of the people, and a knowledge
Of what is wanted by the public can
best be had through public political
discussion, followed by a verdict from
the people at the polls. The people
are concerned, vitality and very serious
ly, in this trust business. Their flu
ture welfare is very largely bound up
in the entire matter, and since the Re-
publican party, through its leaders and
officials, is popularity believed to favor
the combines and to profit pecuniarily
and in other ways through their ex-
istence and continuance a little dis
cussion and investigation of the whole
matter, followed by appropriate action,
is undoubtedly right and proper.
That there will be Republican dis
sent from this proposition goes with
out saying, but Republicans are not tc
be allowed to wholly dictate the issues
of the coming campaign before the
people. The Democracy and the people
themselves will have something to say,
and when the issues are made up the
trusts will be one of them, and Repub-
licans will have to meet this question
as others.
Commencing next Monday morning
the Register will begin the publication
Of a series of notable articles upon
household topics from the pens of such
noted men and women as Marion Har-
land, Parker Quincy Adams, who will
write of liable Hints" Mrs. Mary J.
Lincoln, and others The articles will
appear daily, and will merit the atten-
ton they are sure to receive.

WAYNE MacvEAGH'S DISCOVERY.
New York World

WAYNE MACY EACH DlSCON Ell
New York World.
In his plea for Carter, Wayne MacVeagh
yesterday announced that the case of Car
ter was "one with which a court-martial is
wholly untitled to deal" This will be a new
doctrine to a country that tor a hundred
years has regarded a court-martial com
posed of eminently honorable army officers
as the fittest of all courts to pass upon The
conduct of an army officer in his Official
capacity.
An6 why not? What is it that %disquali-
fes such a court of trained and sensitive
honorable officers for the task Of finding
out whether or not it be true Lnat Carter
c%cnspired with contractors 10 defrauj the
government; whether or not the engineer
ing work which he passed and paid for was
such as the contracts called for; whether
or not he gave false vouchers; whather or
not he made false reports as to his pres
ence for duty? And if he did tnese things,
who is more competent than a court of his
superior officers to say whether or not his
conduct was unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman?
What would the condemned officers dis
charge upon such a pretense as this be
worth to him?

DECLINED TO GUST THE BISHOPS.

The Sarcasm OF Lord Sallsbury's Son
Amlises the British Commoners.
London. Feb. 22.-By a vote of 200
against 120 the house of commons re-
jcctcd the motion to remove the bishops
from the house of lords on the ground
that their presence there is incompatible
with their religious duties. The debate
was notable for remarkable proposal
by Lord Salisburys son, Lord Hugh
Cecil, Conservative member of parlia-
mcnt for Greenwich, who, in a quantity
amusing speech, moved an amendment
suggesting that, instead of removing the
bishops it would be preferable to create
the great non-conformist preachers life
peers. and SO make the house Of lords
more representative of the educated
classes. Arthur j. Balfour, the gov
crnmcnt leader described Lord Cccils
proposal as embarrassing and uncon-
ventional" and urged him to withdraw
the amendment The house was highly
amused at the incident, and the amend
mcnt was ncgativcd without division.

A Creditable War Showing.

Washington, Feb 22.-In reaching the
decision to recommend long term Of
imprisonment in the case Of private
in an Alabama regiment who had killed
man in an affray, Judge Advocate
General Lieber has completed remark
able record, disposing of the last Of the
capital cases that had come before his
department for review, without in any
single case imposing the death penalty.
Thus the war has passed without the
execution Of single soldier on account
of military crimes. This is believed to
be without parallel in history. There
were crimes committed, but they lacked
malice or premeditation, and there were
no dcsertions because of cowardice or
trcachcry.

1HE FRENCH REPUBLIC
Strengthened by the First Message
..,.s.. Of President Loubet. s.zsz..,
HIS: PATRIOTIC UTTERANOEs.

"Fresh Proof of Fidelity to the Res
public While Some Misguided Men
Seek to Shake the Confidence of the
Country In It's Institutions"
Paris, Feb. 22.-All opposition to the
administration of President Loubct
seems to have disappeared, and there is
not the slightest anxiety as to the safety
Of the republic, despite the murmurings
Of the monarchists. The president s
patriotic message to the senate and
chamber Of deputies has greatly strength
encd the republic. The chamber of depu-
ties was crowded when the message was
read. 1t was greeted with salvos of
braves. The senate received the mess
age with similar approval and passed the
credits demanded to dcfray the ex-
penscs of the funeral of the late Presi.
dent Faurc.
The following is the text of President
LOnbcts message:
Summoned to the first magstrature
Of the country, l need for the accom-
plishment of the great duties devolving
upon me the cooperation of the senat,
and chamber of deputies. l ask this of
you, and am sure it will not be with
held. You may count upon my firm
desire to dedicate all my efforts to the
defense of the constitution. You have
as n pledge thereof my unchanging de-
votion to the republic.
'The regular transmission of power,
accomplished in few hours after the
most sudden death Of our beloved and
regretted president, Felix Faure, has
afforded in the eyes of the whole world
fresh proof of the fidelity of France to
the republic at time when some mis-
guided men are seeking to shake the
confidence of the country in its institu-
tions. The national assembly plainly
signticd on Saturday its desire to bring
about the paciiication Of mems minds
and to rc-cstu bliSh and make lasting the
union Of all Republicans.
"Passionatcly devoted to the prin
ciples Of the French revolution and the
regime Of liberty, it will be my constant
anxiety to assist parliament IN this nee
essary work of tolerance and concord.
During the course of the temporary diff
fcultics through which we have passed

Eagle Rare Track Case.


Media, February 20-Judgs Clayton
handed down 0rst opinion in the Eagle
race track book making case to-day, that
will bs received with favor by the follow-
ers Of She race track In and near Phila-
delphla When the seven men charged
with making books o. the Eagle track last
summer were tried at the December court
they were all acquitted, and the costa
were ordered paid BY the jury's verdict BY
the prosecutor, Christopher Knapple, an
officer employed by the Bryn Mnwr Pro-
tective Association to make the raid.
Distrlct Attorney Schaffar raised an OBJ
lection to the costs being put on tho prose-
cutor aud took out a rule to have the ques.
tion argued.
Judge Clayton gave his opinion In the
the disposition OF costs should stand. He
said 1t was unusual to put the costs on an
officer Of tho law, who Is a prosecutor, un-
less the charges were shown to haYe been
brought through malice and were unwar-
ranto1. He said he charged the jury IN
this way and by placing tho costs on the
officer they virtually decided that there
WAS mali,e in the prosecution, and he
would not change the jury's finding,
The decision practically gives the sports
clear field in Delaware County. No one
will now venture to molest them with the
chance Of being mulcted in bill Of costs
amounting to 800 or SEQ.
IL is said the Eagle track has already
man and is being put into shape for racing
ms soon as the weather permits.
