CHAMBERLAIN on The TRANsviAL
England Compelled to Increase tho
South African Garrison.

GW8AWuW OOlnRcI1oO 10 1OCTc000 tho
South African Garrison.
Birmingham, Eng, June 2s.-Joseph,
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the!
colonies, addressing the unionists Of
this city, last evening reviewed care
fully the Transvaal question.
In the course of his speech he said
that owing to the enormous military
preparations of the government of the
South African republic Great Britain
had been compelled to increase the
British garrison in Cape Colony and
Natal, entailing an additinal eXpendi-
ture of 100000 annually.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the govern
ment had tried to establish friendly
relations with President Kruger, but
all their advances had been received
with contempt. After denouncing in
the strongest terms the attitude and
notions of the Beers, Mr.. Chamberlain
with great deliberation and emphasis
added: THE Transvaal's enormous Sc
cret service fund has procured it
friends and advocates in every coun-
try. The way the British subject there
Is treated is not only menace to them
all, but interferes with our prestige
among the natives, who now regard
the British as paramount power"
Besides the breaches of the London
convention, the Transvaal is constant
ly violating the equality that that
convention was intended to secure. Its
misgovernment is fostering sore,
poisoning the whole atmosphere Of
South Africa. The duties in Cape Col
ony and Natal would be in the hap
piest condition, but so long as the dis
ease of hatred and suspicion prevails
in the Transvaal. 1t is impossible to
stop the contagion.
-Four times since independence
was granted we have been on the
verge of war with the Transvaal. It is
erroneous to say the British govern
ment wants war; but 1t is equally err
roneous to say that the government
will draw back now it has put its hand
to the pillow.
1--WE hope the efforts that are being
made will lead to ON amicable settle
ment. Great Britain only desires
justice, but there comes time when
patience can hardly be distinguished
from weakness, and when moral pres
sure becomes farce, that cannot be
continued without loss OF self-respect.
trust that that time may never come
in this instance, but IL 1t does, Britons
Mill insist upon the means to find re-
suit essential to the peace of South
Africa"

two tons of tobacco arc called for in

ter. The exact amounts are 3,O05
pounds Of plug chewing tobacco Of the
best quality, and 40 pounds of smok.
ing tobacco. This is divided among the
institutions as follows: Hospital for
the insane, Clarinda, $50 pounds of
smoking, $40 pounds of chewing; hos.
pital for the insane, Independence, 700
pounds plug chewing; hospital for Tho
insane, Mt. Pleasant, 630 pounds plug

tion for feeble-minded children, Glen.
wood, 25 pounds plug chewing; SOL

plug chewing, 1870 pounds smoking.
This is not an average estimate, be.
5000 pounds plug chewing the pre-.
vious quarter. independence asks for
no smoking this quarter, being well
supplied, probably. The other amounts
are about an average. The board has
succeeded i'll buying this tobacco at u
very low figure. Chewing tobacco is
bought for as low as 27A cents q
pound, none higher than 3OH cents,
and smoking tobacco of well-known
first-class brands is bought for 27A
cents per pound. But even then it is
quite an item of expense. 1t is ALSO
lutely necessary in the hospitals for
the insane and in the Glenwood insti-

An examination Of 1000 criminals

An examination Of 1000 criminals
in the French army has just been con-
cluded by DR.. j. Marty, the criminolo-
gist. The result is curious. It proves
that the criminal soldier Is a far better
specimen OF the human form than is
the ordinary military man, whom he
snrpasses in height, weight, chest
measurement, muscular power and
general condition. 1t is necessary to
fine some theory for the way In which
the wicked flourish like green bay
tree, so DR.. Marty suggests that 1t is
only the very strong who can survive
the wretched conditions of French
criminal families.
