SHE DESERVES 1T.
A French Ex- ministers Views of Eng

- EX- N16WS Oh
lands Situation.
New York, Dec ia dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Gen. Du Barail, former minister OF
war, represented the ultra-AnglophobeS
in France when he said:
4 hope that England will be forced
to drink the cup of bitterness to the
dregs. She deserves it. I shall be glad
to see poetic justice accomplished. For
years Europe has bowed before the
prestige of British arms and has been
cOWed and overcome by English threats.
Every modern state has suffered at
England's hands.
Now, at last. we Seee that the cat
has not such fearful claws after all.
Every fresh Boer effort makes fools OF
US all.
will bring England to terms in short
order. do not believe that Great Brit
ain will think for a moment of accept
ing defeat or making overtures, but
am confident that she viii be forced to
do so.
Her recent discomf1tures are not or
dinary ones. They disclose fearful in
competency on the part of the British
generals, who have not faced a civiliz-
ed foe for nearly half a century
In a word, the turning point of Brit,
ish power has been reached. 1 consider
that the TransVaal war will rank in
history as one of the most significant
conflicts on record"
Col. Chapelle, editor Of one OF the
leading French military journals, said:
The war this year has disclosed
three things. It is shown that the Beers
are being directed by men who have
studied closely the conditions in South
Africa, for nearly every mishap which
has befallen the British has been main
ly due to superior knowledge of tOpO-
graphy on the part of the Beers.
Second, the Beers appear to have
studied particularly the art of strate-
gy, which has mostly been abandoned
by the civilized nations at present.
Finally, the Beers are less Self-cOn-
fdent than the English. Consequently
they have gone into the struggle with
more spirit to perform what is regard
ed as impossible. The English troops
seem to have thought they were deal
ing with half-civilized foes or entire
barbarians, like the Dervishes. Appar-
emily they did not expect to find mill
tary intelligence shown in battle
against them and were drunk with
sense of their own power. This is why
| they are SO often taken by surprise.Any
! good leader of soldiers knows that the
| best army is that which goes on the
| battlefield filed with uncertainty"

Their acquisitions on British steamship
lines for troop ships, no word has yet
been received by steamship agents here
Of such steps being taken. At the Of
flee Of the White Star line, which has
already turned over three of its steam
ers. the Majestic, the Britannia and the
Cymrfc, to the British government, it
was said that If another steamer was
taken it would be the TeutOnic This
would leave the line with only two
passenger steamers, the Oceanic and
the Germanic. and consequently it is
not expected there that any more

near future.

HEIRS TO MILLIONS.
Two Chicago Electricians Find Them
selves Rich.

New York, Dec. 19.-The World says:
Huga Hunfalvy, a lawyer of this city,
says there is no possible question that
two electricians in Chicago, E. P. and
c. S. KarOly, are heirs to an estate in
Hungary worth 100000 hOrins, or
about $4, 800, 600. They never would
have known anything about it had not
Count AlOis karOly, ambassador of
Austria ungary to the court of St.
James, left Europe with BOriska Frank,
a young actress, and come to America
1t was through an effort to prove that
Count Karoly. who died III London,
leaving a large fortune, was a relative
that the KarOly brothers discovered the
fortune awaiting them. They are not in
any way connected with Count KarOly's
father. The trouble came about by the
self off from all communication with
his family in Hungary and dropping his
family name. He was a scion of q noble
family in Hungary who served with
Louis KOssuth in the Revolution of
1913 and escaped to this country. He
called himself $. KaSOly when he set
tied first in Albany and began the
practice of medicine, in which profess
sion he had already gained distinction
in Hungary.
DR.. Karoly married IN Salem prac-
ticed in Baltimore where his sons were
born and removed to Aurora, Ill, where
he died in 1894.
Shortly after his death his only sis
ter, who had inherited the estate, died
in her home in COdolIO, the faVOrite res

It is considered that the diplomatfsts
of Europe who only a few. months 40

useless loss Of life, which can only in
the end be in favor of the black pop-
ulatiOn, should continue
