ment. The last, the repulse of Gen.
Butler, losing over 1000 men and IL
guns, was the worst.
Buffers reverse does not show that
he was guilty of the lack of caution
shown by Gatacre at Stormberg, but
proves that the British are not only
fighting Dutch from all parts of South
Africa, but that they have also found
themselves, to their surprise, face to
face with their best military tactics of
Germany and France.
This is now we'll realized, and the
British generals may hereafter act ac-
cordingly instead of planning their
field movements as though to fight un-
tutored savages.
The British nation is aroused as
never before. There is general call
to arms, not only i'll England, but in
all dependencies, and in few weeks
England expects to have 100, 900 more
men to face the Beers. England can
not afford to let the Transvaal and Free
Orange States whip her in such con-
test. Her prestige, if nothing else, is
at stake.

The patrons of Husbandry had a

The reports of the several committees
show the inner feeling of the order on
public questions.
The committee on agriculture COM
mended the rural free delivery ofmail,
urged the farmers to aid the census
enumerators in gathering agricultural
statistics and regretted that the State
Board of Agriculture has not been
established.
The resolutions concerning combina-
tions and trusts died in committee.
The committee ON transportation
called attention to the wide difference
in the price paid by the consumers
and the price received by the farmers,
and said part of it goes to the abroad
companies, but most of it goes to the
men who handle farm products in the
cities.
The committee on good of the order
recommended that grange picnic be
held in each county next summer.
Resolutions adopted recommended
that scientific temperan ce he taught in
the public schools, that the use of
cider and other light drinks in the
home be discouraged, favored the local
option proviso in the new Constitution
and protested against the admission of
Brigham Roberts to Congress.
Wesley Webb was appointed COM
mittee of one to urge that the grounds
adjacent to country schoolhouses be

THE growing popularity of American
corn is shown by the fact that large
quantity was exported in the eleven
months ending with December, 1899,
than in any preceding year, and a
higher price than since 1895.
The total exports were 185, ,832, $50
bushels, valued at $74, 742, 1877, while
the 1856, ,284, $40 bushels exported in the

The question of fraud in securing
diplomas seems to be disturbing ele-
nent in the medical as we'll as theolog-
ical circles, by charges or exposi-
tions made in the Philadelphia Press
about the Allopathic State Board
charges that examination questions
we're printed and sold to the students.
Knowing just what they were to be
asked, of course the questions were
learned and answered readily. The
students by this means get diplomas
on very scant medical information.
To avoid any possible leakage
through bribery of printers, copyread.
ers, proofreaders, or other persons
through whose hands the printed
things must pass, the Medical Coun-
cal determined that the examination
questions shall be retained in theil
original written form by the presidents
of three medical boards, and that a
the examination the questions shall bt

the officer in charge of the examina

The statement that brought th,

UNDER the head of History Dis

wisely about fictitious history-the
use of names and dates that are incor-

to mind the minister whose sermon

fore he met the Moravians) in Florida,

asked if he did not think the United

smiled and said:

AN ADDRESS BY AGU|NALDO.
APPEALS FOR RECOGNITION.
Renews His Stand-Says Spain Had No
Right to Cede the Islands to United
Ststes-China Takes Hand she Re
fuses the u. 5. Common Privileges.

Manila, Aug 9.-Aguinaldo has APP
pealed to the powers for recognition of
Filipino independence" in a document
dated at Tarlac, July 27, and signed by
Buencaminio. 1t has been received by ali
the foreign consuls in Manila with the re-
quest that they forward it to their respec-
tive governments.
The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereignty
of the islands from Spain before the sign
ing of the treaty of Paris and therefore
Spain was in no position to cede them
to the United States. They argue that the
possession of 1000 Spanish prisoners, cap
tured with their arms while fighting
against the Filipinos, is eloquent proof
OF the nullity of the Spanish sovereignty,
as when they surrendered SPANS hold was
irrevocably lost.
The document appeals to the powers to
influence Washington to bring to a ter
nation "the unjust war which is devas-
Eating the country"
Chinn's New Attitude.
New York, Aug. "a special from
Washington says:
Some uneasiness prevails in military
circles relative to the attitude of China
with respect to the Filipinos as the re-
suit of her refusal to permit the shipment
OF horses purchased by agents of General
Otis to Manila on the ground that they
are "contraband of war"
While the Pekin government has moi
formally recognized the belligerency OF
Aguinaldo her announcement that horses
are contraband is regarded as dangerously
near her recognition.
Aguinaldos address does not worry OF
ficials here. There is no idea that any for
eign government will heed the address. l
has been the desire of Aguinaldo and hi
associates from the first to secure sucl
recognition and the appeal merely put
this desire into rather formal shape tina
may bring to it the attention of outsid
governments.
The state department does not share tn
apprehension said to exist among army OF
ficers that China has given indirect recoe
milton to the Filipinos by refusing to allo,
Americans to ship horses from China I
