FEW METEORS SEEN.
At National Observatory Owing to a
Prevalence of Clouds.


Washington. Nov. 5.-Unfavorable
weather conditions hampered the as
trOnOmerS at the Naval observatory
last night. Clouds prevented observa-
lions until after o'clock a. m 1t was
however only partially clear at any
time. The path of ten meteOrS were
plated on the star chart. One of these
meteOrs was as bright as a second
magnitude star. but the others were
fainter.
Chicago, Nov. 15.-Chicago and the
Mississippi valley went to bed this
morning without catching a glimpse OF
the star shower of leOnids for which
they have waited third Of a century
From Davenport east to New York, &C
cOrding to the dispatches received by
the weather bureau, the sky was over
cast to a degree which bIOtted out all
the stars and made satisfactory Obser-
walton of the meteOric shower an i'm
possibility.
Despite the adverse condition at the
University of Chicago, parties OF pro
fessors and students stuck to the roofs
and to the cameras which they had
mounted against the coming of the
star shower. RyersOn laboratory, Nor
gan Park academy and the fine arts
building were the chief places OF con-
gregation in the city, While the as
Economical faculty and the more ad-
Vanced classes in astronomy lay IN wait
for the leOnids at the Great Yerke' 5
observatory at Williams Bay, Wis.
Up at Northwestern university, Pro-
fessOr George w. HOugh, with three as
Sistants and a number of students, kept
five huge cameras in Dearborn Obser-

FOUGHT THE BOERs.
Kansas Nan Says They Are Almost
Worthless.

A special to the Kansas City Journal
says:
F NJ. Coleman, of Gypsum, Kan,
spent twenty-five years in the Trans
vaal country in South Africa, portion
OF the time in the British army and
does not entertain a very high opinion
of the Beers. He is now 50 years old
and very feeble. He was educated at
Oxford university in England and join
ed the British navy in the 30 He took
part in the troubles at Della Plata,
South America, in 1910, and the next
year went to the TransVaa1 country
where he served as Interpreter in the
British army under General Somerset,
the famous Waterloo officer.
Mr.. Coleman was engaged in the first
war with the Beers in 1915. After that
war he remained in that country until
knows every foot of the country. He
came to this country in 1867. He says
that the Beers have improved wonder
fully in the past thirty years, else there
is some tail preVaricating being done
by newspaper cores pOndentS there
now. When he was there he says the
inhabitants at that time were an eX-
Ceedingly vulgar low minded people
who stole everything they could lay
their hands upon Mr.. Coleman says
he used to attend their sacrament, the
'.Naachtmaal," when the natives would
steal just the same as at any oIher
time. When trading with them, if they
stole anything he would simply charge
it to them and they would pay the bill.
Had they been openly accused of steal
ing, he would have lost their trade for
all time. These people, he says, were
given to the use of very depraved lang
uage, their discourse being entirely un-
fit for decent people to hear. The idea
of washing themselves at mealtime
never entered their heads. The natives
are all ponderOusly fat or exceedingly
thin and skinny. There are no good
looking ones among them. They speak
a mixture of languages. At that time
they were very lazy, the men lying
around summing themselves or going
about gun in hand, in search Of game.
Mr.. Coleman considers the Kaftfrs to
be among the finest people he ever met,
and the Beers absolutely the worst

New York, Nov. 15.-In a. paper on 1.-The
Mexico of today" which will appear in
the forthcoming issue of the Independent
Vice President Mariscal makes a state
ment and relates an anecdOte touching
MeXico's silver resources. He says:
For 500 years she has produced one
third of all the silver that was mined

Washington, he asked Senior Romero how
much silver Mexico was mining and how
long she could keep it up. Senior Romero
trying to be conservative, replied that
Mexico was turning out $50, 900, 900 per
year and could keep it up for 200 years.
Ii would not hear of such a thing He in
sisted that our minister had been 50 long
gotten details and that he must be mis-
taken about the abundance of silver. Mex
leo expects TO supply the world with
$1g0OuOOOO OF silver per annum soon"
The writer further says:
1t will not do for Americans who do
not understand the language or habits of
the people to go to Mexico to live unless
they nave some employment. American
laborers are much superior in skill to
InoSe OF Mexico, but you can hire from
eight to twelve MeXtcans for the 50 Amer

SOLDIERS IN THE RING.
HAWAII WINS FROM THE
THIRTY THIRD.
The Oceanic Athletic Clubs Monthly
Champions is Being Arranged.

The champion bantam weight of the
Thirty-third L. $. Infantry and the
champion of Hawaii met last night at
the Oceanic Athletic Clubs exhibition
in very clever four-round contest.
Victory was with the local boxer,
James Decker, young half native
who showed himself to be exceedingly
skillful with the gloves. His opponent,
Private Jones, was the larger man and
was also expert in the manly art but
young Decker proved a surprise, put
ting up one of the cleverest contests
ever seen here. He was awarded the
contest on points.
The exhibition was largely SOL
diers' night. Boxers from the trans
ports in port attended and several con-
tests were arranged, one of them, be-
tween Privates Scott and Cuatin, offer
ing something of a novelty in the way
of pugilsm. Scott had a style that
was distinctly his own. 1t was not
according to Hoyle but it proved effec-
tive. Scott was quick as lightning
and outpointed his man in every round.
He went at it sideways, with one hand
extended and appeared to be looking
at the ground, but when it came to
mixing things he had both hands very
| effectively at work. Herman and Hall,
two more members of the Thirty
third, boxed four rounds, the contest
being declared a draw. A four-round
contest between Andrews and Decker,
feather weights, was also declared a
draw, after some lively boxing.
During the intervals the Quintette
club gave music and Jim Post was
persuaded to do a cake walk. Mr..
Hill, the Orpheum baritone singer,
gave a solo and then the event of the
evening" was called. 1t was a six
! round contest between Lambert and
Martin Denny, the manager and box
| ing instructor of the club Lambert
was a good deal the heavier man and
| was quick on the defensive but did not
attempt to do any aggressive work. He
was outpointed by the clever boxing
| instructor and Denny got the decision
The club has ordered complete para
phernalia from the coast to fit up its

I to arrange a contest between Denny
