There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed 10 ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness Of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's

HOW THE COMMANDERS
MET AFTER SURRENDER.
"Gou Made a Gallant Defense,
Sir, Were Roberts First
Words to ,Croaje.

Paardeherg, Tuesday, Feb p.
-MaJuba day-At 3 m the
British camp was awakened bv
the continued rattle of rifle fire at
daybreak and the news arrived
that the Canadians, while building
trench quite close to the enemy
were fusiladed at a range of so
yards. The Canadians gallantIy
worked forward and occupied the
edge of the trenches along the
river, entirely cnilading the
Beers. This movement was fol-
lowed by cessation Of the fire,
except an occasional solitary shot.
Suddenly n regiment stationed
on the crest of u hill perceived II
white flag ii q burst into cheers,
thus first announcing the surrend,
or OF Nen CrOnJe.
Shortly afterwurd note reach
ed Lord Roberts bringing tidingS
of the Beers unconditional sur
render, Gen Prcttvman was sent
to accept the surrender.
At about I O'Clock the small
group of men appeared in the dis
tance crossing the plain towards
headquarters. The latter being
apprisci of Gen Cronje's app
| proach, Lord Roberts went to the
front IN the modest cart IN which
he sleeps and ordered 4 guard OF
the Seaforths to line up. A
group of horscmen then appeared.
On Gen Preltyman' 3 right rode
an elderly man clad in rough
short OycrcUat, wide-I trimmed hat
ordinary tweed trousers ant
brown shoes. 1t was the re-
doubtablc Cronje. His face wa.
almost burned black and his curly
beard WAS ,tinged with gray.
Lord Roberts walked to and fro
in front of the cart until the Bocl
general arrived, when the British
commander advanced gruvely ano
kindly saluted the BOcr command
er. He then motiOned Gen Croni,
to Il seat IN chair which had beer
brought for his a accommodation
and the two officers converse,
through an interpreter.
Gen Cronje afterwards break
tasted with the British officers.
E Cronje's face was absoIuteI,
f impasslve, exhibiting no sign o
his inner feelings.
= .OEu hODcTlS was huifOunie,
by his staff when Gen Prettyma
addressing the field marshal, said
"Commandant Cr"nje, Sir"
The commandant touched hi
hat in salute and Lord Robert
3 saIuted in return. The Who'll
, group then dismounted and Lor
Roberts stepp' d forward an
shook hands with the Boer com
mander.
"Iou made n gallant defense
sir" was the first salutatiOn O
Lord Roberts to the vanquishe
Boer leader.

AFFAIRS IN PEKING
Are Becoming Very Serious, From a
Sanitary and Medical Point
of View.
Many Chinese Are Dying of Smallpox
and the Bodies Are Hidden Away
in Houses and Court Yards-Great
Accommodations of Refuse.

PEKIN, November 16, via Shanghai,
November 1S.-Sanitary conditions
here are becoming serious. Since the
foreign occupation many Chinese have
died OF smallpox a1d other infectious
diseases. Fearing that their funerals
would be interfered with, they have
kept most of the collins containing
their dead in their houses and court
yards.
The question OF removing garbage
has become one of grave importance.
As the natives are forbidden to deposit
refuse in the streets, there is now an
enormous accumulation in their dwell
ings and yards, which threatens a SER
ious epidemic. In view Of the large
number of troops in and near the cap
iral, the consequences of such an out
break would be frightful. Smallpox,
which is always prevalent, is much
more malignant during the winter sea-
son, and the danger here is now alarm
ingly increased.
