London, June 20. - Gen. Sir Leslie

skirm.sh near senekal Friday with a
large force Of entrenched Beers, He
declined to attack them. This is the

Dewet and Botha' Make Compact.
Ccmmandant Dewet with 5000 men
and three guns is moving northeast in
the, Orange River Colony. It is under
stood that he and Commandment Cen
eral Botha entered into compact that
neither would surrender SO long as the
other was In the field. Twelve thou.
sand rifles all told have been surren-
dered to the British. President Kru-
ger is still at Machadodorp. The ex-
posures regarding tile hospitals in
South Africa have
Made Great Sensation
in England. They began with three
columns of restrained language in the
Times yesterday from w. A. Burdette-
Coutts, Conservative member of parlia-
ment for Westminster. His disclosures
have been widely reproduced and they
are supplemented this morning with
denlnc:atory kilograms and interviews
from survivors and army medical men.
The archbishop of Cape Town, in an
address before the Society of Good
Hope IN the Cape government house
Monday expressed great dissatisfac-
ton at the way in which the sick and
wounded We're treated. He declared
that the warm clothing that was alb
solutely necessary was freely offered.
but was rarely, il ever distributed by
the army doctors, that the sick
Slept Upon the Bare Ground,
and that, even in Cape Town the way
in which the hospitals were misman-
aged made ones blood boil. Mrs. Han
bury Williams, wife of Maj. John Han
bury Williams, Sir Alfred Miners mil
itary secretary, told the meeting that
If the visiting delegations had reported
the misnanagement the doors would
have been shut in their faces. A news
agency dispatch from Cape Town says:
Certain disclosures point to malfeas-
ance in the arrangements for the sick
and wounded" The Daily Express
refers to the "springless,
Out-of-Date Ambulnnces"
Of the British, and contends that Boer
ambulahces are VIGOROUSLY superior.
Princess Christian publicly asks for
volunteer nurses. The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says that Lord Roberts will reply
fully to the charges of Mr.. Burdette-
Coutts. Frederick Trieves, consulting
surgeon to the London hospital, who
was recently at the front, says the
charges come to him as an absolute
shock, and are quite incredible. He
praises the medical department..

London, June %. = The khedive of
Egypt arrived in London at noon yes
terday from Port Victoria, where he

Buckingham palace, escorted by a
troop of the horse guards and cheered
by the spectators.

A Russian Inventor, K. Danilewsky

A Russian Inventor, X. Danilewsky,
has recently experimental, under gov
eminent auspices, with flying ma
chine which combines the lifting pow
er Of a balloon with something resem-
bling wing action. The balloon is
shaped like a projectile, and is small,
being filled with pure hydrogen. Its
ascensional force is sufficient to neu-
fralize the weight of the aeronaut and
che apparatus. The latter consists of
- system Of movable aeroplanes and q
steering tackle, by means of which the
eeronaut guides the course of the bal
loon. In descending, the latter as
sumes an upright position. The i'm
mediate object Of the experiments is
to provide dirigible balloon for the
signal corps of the Russian army.

Liquor Tra~.c.
Chicago, Jrne 29.-Wne national con
vention of the Prohibition party met
here yesterday and in three sessions,
morning, afternoon and evening,
cleared up all business except the
nominations for president and vice
president, which will be made this
morning. The convention in point of
numbers and enthusiasm shown is
considered one of the greatest ever
held by the advocates of cold water.
Thirty. seven states Of the union were
represented when Chairman Oliver
Stewart, Of the national committee
called the convention to order at the
First Regiment armory yesterday
nearly
Seven Hundred Delegates
being present, while scores of others
are expe cted today. when the party
names its national candidates. The
platform as adopted by the convention
bears solely, on the question of the
suppression Of the liquor traffic. In
connection with this, however. the adj
in!nistration, and President Mckinley
lin particular, are bitterly arraigned
for the position taken On the anti-can-
aeeA law, tlc dCllOu Oil llllS DtluS Ue.
nounced as Unreasonable"
A Bitter Fight
took place in the committee on resolu-
tons before the platform was finally
agreed upon, the members being di-
vided over the question of single issue
or a "brc ad platform" The advocates
Of WOMAN suffrage were particularly
emphatic in demanding a suffrage
plank. but after a session lasting sew
eral hours the matter was colnpro-
missed by reporting a separate resolu-
ton favoring the granting of the fran
chise to women, and in this form the
report of the committee on resolutions
was adopted by the convention after
considerable further debate.
Woolley for President.
I Expressions Of various state delega-
lions last night rather indicate the
nomination of Woolley for president
and III. Is. Metcalf of Rhode Island for
vice president. The voting strength of
the third prominent candidate for pres
idential nomination, Hale johnson Of
Illinois, apparently decreased rapidly
during the; day to the gain of Mr..
Woolley, and it appears probable that
the contest to-day will be narrowed
down to Mr.. Woolley and Rev. Swa1-
low. The latter's friends, however,
confidently assert that his nomination
lis assured, and brisk contest may
take place before the question Of lead
| ership is settled.

Arrangements have been perfected
by which Russian oil will be distrib-
uted in Germany. In the last few
years American petroleum has prac-
tically monopolized the German mar
ket. The German government has now
offered facilities to Russian producers
IN the way of reduction of railway
rates, so that 1t is expected in the near
future the Russian oil trade will make
considerable progress in Germany.

The friends Of the plan to convert
Indian lands in Northern Minnesota
into national park are much encour-
aged by the reception it has received
at the hands of representatives. A ia
vorable report by the house commit
tee on Indian affairs, which says in
part: The headwaters of the Missis-
sippi are now protected by national
forests, and this protection is threat
ened by lumbermen, who wish to re-
move the pine. In France vast sums
of money are now being expended in
reforesting the mountains which have
been denuded and where the gravelly
soil las begun to wash down into and
destroy the valleys below. Enormous
sums are expended to restore these
mountains to their natural conditions
AZ nearly as may be. In Northern New
York the state has acquired a large
area Of the Adirondacks in order to
preserve the waters Of the Hudson,
and has expended nearly $4,000, 900 for
that purpose. II the timber around
the headwaters Of the Mississippi is
entirely removed the government will
no doubt hereafter be called upon to
restore it as nearly as possible to the
original state and to expend a much
larger sum than 10 now necessary to
preserve It in that condition. Large
amounts have already been laid out
for the creation Of reserves in that To-
cality to prevent great foods in the
spring and to preserve q supply of
water for midsummer and tail. We
cannot afford to have the lands around
the headwaters Of our great rivers de-
1orested and made barren.
