tack were to be made from Natal there
would be mountains to work through and
much tropical growth.
'The question of transportation would
be serious. We would need thousands of
mules, which must be brought from South
America The ocean distance and the
adverse climate would kill the animals off
by the hundreds, and the actual work
would entail even greater losses.
Will Need 10000 Men.
"There is a question of strategy as well.
The Beers would be difficult to hit in
mass. Indeed, they might not be mobii-
lied in a European sense at all. In an
arid, rocky country, filled with splendid
shots, with no real objective point to
capture, with a disaffected or actively
hostile population on your flank or rear,
the conquest of the Transvaal would be
one of the most arduous undertakings we
ever entered upon. In my opinion no less
than 10000 men would be required. Your
own Philippine War is not so difficult. In
deed, it is folly to underestimate the mill
tary strength of the Transvaai, which
proceeds not alone from the material
character of the population but also from
the nature Of the country itself.
.'And the Beers are armed to the teeth.
The money raised by taxation Of the Uit-
landers has been spent in arms and artil-
lery, so that the republic repeats on a
small scale the military camp which the
continental powers exhibit on a great
scale"
How excellent a marksman the Boer is
may be inferred from England's past ex-
perience with him. In one engagement
in the sos out of a total English force
of between 600 and 700 the loss in a few
hours was 2S3 killed and wounded-near-
ly half the force. 1t is a literal fact that

but aside from their morale and their

SEEKS BAN ON CANAL.
City of st. Louis Will Ask Issue of an
Injunction.


Proceedings will be instituted soon in
the Federal Court at Chicago to prevent
the operation of the Chicago drainage
canal. The city of St Louis will be the
plaintiff, represented by City Counselor
Schnurmacher. This was decided at the
meeting of the joint committee Of the st.
Louis City Council and house of dele
gates which was appointed several weeks
ago to investigate the drainage canal en-
terprise and recommend steps to protect
the city's interest.
Various plans were discussed for pre-
venting the pollution of the city's water
supply, proceedings by injunction being
regarded as the most feasible. Afterward
the committee asked Mr.. Schnurmacher
for Il written opinion to the standing
the city would have in the courts. Ihe
committee met to consider Mr.. Schnur-
macher's advice. This was to the effect
that the city or any resident of st. LOUIS
could enjoin the operation of the canal II
it could be shown that any interest would
be threatened by the pollution Of the wat
err Resort should be had to the United
States Court at Chicago, in Mr.. Schnur-
machers opinion. The committee dis
cussed the matter for an hour and half,
and then drafted a joint resolution di-
recting the city counselor to institute such
legal proceedings as might be necessary.
The action Of the committee following di-
rectiy on the visit to st. Louis Of the
State inspectors from Chicago is consid'
cred significant.
