NOTES Sobriety Among Troops.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin has written a letter to Sena.
tor Sewell, of New Jersey, a member
of the senate military committee, on
the post exchange or army canteen.
He says that the sale of spurious
liquors by the canteen is absolutely
prohibited; that only beer and light
wines are sold; that the canteen was
established and is maintained in the
interests of temperance and the bet
terment of discipline with most sat
isfactory results; that the exchange
is a cooperative store and supplies are
sold at cost, for the benefit of officers
and men, and that the canteen is a
department of the exchange consti-
tuting an enlisted mems club and
rooms are furnished with reading
matter and games, but no gambling
is allowed; and that the percentage
of assertions has been reduced since
the introduction of the canteen. He
also says that the anxiety of temper
ance people outside the service about
the canteen is unwarranted.

TRANSPORT THOMAS.
1t Arrives from the Orient with Sick Sol
diers-Capt B"okmiIler's Statement
About the Fight at TIen Tsin.

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-The United
States transport Thomas has arrived
from the orient with a large num-
Der of sick and wounded soldiers,
marines and officers. Some of the
men who are in the ships hospital
are from the battlefield at Tien Tsin
and among these is Capt. Edwin v.
Bookmiller, of the Ninth United
States infantry, who fell in the adj
vance of the American forces on the
Chinese works. A large number of
the sick and wounded are from the
various Manila commands and the
Chinese contingent is made up mostly
of members of the Ninth infantry and
the first battalion of marines. Capt.
Bookmiller says that the fight in
which the Americans engaged was
a terrible strain on the soldiers and
that for fully II hours the men were
exposed to a heavy crossfire from an
L-shaped entrenchment which faced
a low bit of ground.
The Thomas brought back 1877 dis
charged soldiers, 81 prisoners and five
stowaways who were discovered soon
after the vessel left Yokohama.

Wyo., Wednesday reached here at
9:4O a. m. yesterday. The robbers con-
fined their work to the express car,

messenger state that a man con-
cealed himself on the tender at Upton
and when about two miles west of
that place compelled the engineer to
stop the train. The first man was
here joinedSby three others. The two
coaches were detached and the eS-

down the road where the safe was
blown open and rified. The express

MACHADoDoRP TAKEN.
The British Troops Occupy President Kru-
gers Most Recent Capital, the BOer
Force Hastily Decamping.

London, Aug. 31.-There is very
buoyant feeling in the city due TO
the prevailing impression that the
South African war is running out to
its last dregs. Lord Roberts last dis
patch shows that the salient points
on both wings of Gen. Botha's posi-
ton have been carried in Buffers adj
vance.
The British troops occupied Macha-
dodorp, President Kruger's most re-
cent capital, Tuesday. The Beers
evacuated this place with great pre-
cipitatiOn, but this was probably due
to knowledge of Gen. French's move
ments. The British cavalry general
has worked right around the north
of the Boer lines, and was almost op-
posite Buffers position and a few
miles away from him, at Elandsfon-
tein. Thus, unless the Beers had de-
eamped hastily, they would have found
themselves caught between two Brit
ish columns, and could scarcely have
saved their guns and transport.

ter Day Saints, Joseph Smith, presi-
dent of the church and son of Joseph
Smith, it's founder, defined the
church's attitude toward polygamy.
The occasion was the meeting of the
saints in the pavilion at Washington
park. Joseph Smith stated in the
most emphatic words he could COM
mand that the Latter Day Saints of
the church whose president he was
did not believe in polygamy, that
they never had believed in it, that
their founder, Joseph Smith, had
stated again and again in unmistaka-
bic words that man should have but
one wife and woman but one hus-
band.

AS the Beers retired through the

the colonials had captured %, includ-
ing Gen. Olivier and his three sons.
AS 200 Beers were following behind
in fairly close order the colonials then
began hard voIley firing, with the re-
suit that they killed six Beers and
frightened off the others, who had no
idea of the actual number in the
donga.

Bishop Alexander Walters Elected Presi-

erarIoIl from coneested DistrIcts-

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 3I.-The Ma
tionaI Afro-American council elected
yesterday Bishop Alexander Walters,
of New Jersey, president. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we urge the lynching
record upon the consideration of the
president of the United States, who, in
his last message, asked congress to enact
a law to protect foreigners residing in
ask the president of the United States
to use his best offices to secure the same
measure of protection for citizens of the
United States which the contemplated
legislation will extend to foreigners.
Resolved, h.Iat we heartily approve
gradual and healthful migration of col
ored citizens from the congested districts
of the south and from the denSely popu-
to the fertile and undeveloped territory
of the west, in order that the Afro
American race may become an indis
pensable factor in the agricultural de-
veIopment of the country.
We realize that conditions cannot be
theorized away and point to our many
years of patient burden-bearing as proof
that to the wise adjustment of all men
acing conditions the negro will con-
tribute the best Judgment of an earnest,
self-sacrifciT1g, law-abiding citizenship.
We realize that the salvation of our
race is in our own hands; that the i'm
mutable laws of nature know color
line. With 35 years of freedom we gladly
accept all the responsibilities which CIV
tltZatfOn and citizenship place upon us
and ask only fair field and no favor.
We plead no excuses, seek no particular
privileges, ask no special laws in favor OF
ourselves or on account of our grand
fathers, but we do appeal to the chivalry
of the nineteenth century that if it be
too busy to help US forward that it will
be too generous to push us back.
