HOW IT IS GATHERED.

Living in rough camp, he walks
forth into the trackless woods every
morning at daylight, aud keeps going
until dark. He wears snowshoes, ON
which he skins the surface of the
deep white carpet on the ground,
making his way from tree to 5ree, his
head up, scanning the brown trunks
for the little drops of concealed sap
/ that is known as spruce gum.
An expert gum gatherer can SEQ
gum on the trunk OF tree where the
novice would see none. He also knows
at = glance whether a "teat" is worth
taking Off or not, and that whec II is
sometimes fifteen feet above his head.
AS it is impossible to reach most Of
the gum on forest spruces without
some implement, the gum gatherer
has a specially made gathering rod,
with which he brings down the golden
drops. This rod is generally in three
sections, so that its length may he
regulated TO the height to be reached.
On the end Of the rod is a knife, and
beneath it is little pouch, such as is
used on fruit picker, into which the
piece Of gum drops after being de-
tached from the tree by the knife.
After getting all the gum ou tree,

Not all spruces yield gum. Many
OF the trees have no gum on them at
all until the bark becomes broken or
there ia some break around limb,
allowing the sap of the tree to exude
and harden. Trees that have been
trimmed of their lower branches are
the best for yielding gum. Sections
where lumbermen have "swamped"
roads, or have been logging, are,
therefore, better. as a rule, for the
gum gathersr than the virgin forest,
where the gum trees are fartheSt
apart. and the gum hangs higher.

STEYN'S SPEECH IN THE RAAD.
Pretoria, April 2.-(NIonday)-1n
his speech at the opening of the Free
State Raad, President Steyn declared
that in spite of the surrender of
Bloemfontein he had not lost hope of
the triumph of the republican cause.
The war, he said, was forced upon the
Transvaal and nothing remained for
the Orange Free State but to throw
in its lot with the sister republic, in
accordance with the terms of the
treaty. The war, he continued. was
begun with the object of maintain
ing by arms the independence bought
with the blood of the forefathers of
the nation and had been so successful
that it had caused the greatest won
der throughout the world and even to
the Beers themselves. After paying
tribute to the memory of General
Joubert, President Steyn said that the
British Notwithstanding their over
whelming numbers were violating the
flag of truce and the Red Cross and
he was compelled to report the mat
ter to the neutral powers.
The President further remarked
that the attempt to create dissension
among the burghers by the issuing of
proclamations had failed.
Referring to the correspondence be-
tween the South African Presidents
and Lord Salisbury, President Steyn
proceeded:
Not only were those efforts made
but the republics had dispatched a
deputation to Europe and America in
order to bring the influence of neu-
trail powers in order to secure a ces-
sation of the bloodshed, and | greatly
desire to secure these efforts and trust
they will be crowned VITA success"
After saying that the Government
had raised a temporary loan with the
Transvaal, President Steyn concluded
with prayer that the Free State be
preserved from being forced to give
up its dearly loved Independence.

HAY-pAuNCEFoTE TREATY CONSIDERED
Question of Defence of the Canal Discussed by
the Senate.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington April 5.--On motion OF
Senator Davis, the Senate today consid-
cred the ay-Pauncefote Treaty for the
modification of the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty behind closed doors. About three
hours was spent in discussing the amend
ment to the treaty made by the Senate
COMMITTEE on Foreign Relations, providing
that none of the conditions and stipula-
tions in sections l. 2 3, 4 and 5, OF ar
ticle 2. shall apply to measures which
the United States may find it necessary
to take for securing, by it's own forces,
the defense of the United States and the
maintenance of public order"
Senator Davis opened the debate with
general statement in support OF the
treaty but referred to the omission of
any provision permitting the United
States to defend it's property, which he
characterized as a palpable error and
omission with which the country would
not be satisfied. Mr.. Platt Comm, said
the amendment was unnecessary.
Mr. Lodge (Mass), pleaded for it saying
we should lose no opportunity to provide
for safeguarding cur interests in all ext
gencies that may arise. Mr.. Morgan
(Ala), occupied most of the executive
session.
His speech was as a plea for neutrality
as the best guarantee of the safety anG
usefulness of the canal. He said it was
to be a highway for the commerce of the
nations and that the proposed amendment
not only would fail to provide for it's
protection but might be the means OF
causing complications which otherwise
never could arise.
He contended that if this amendment
was inserted it would require not only
Notifications and the maintenance Of
troops at probably both ends of the canal,
but also the maintenance of battleships.
coaling stations and supply depots in that
vicinity. The provision was calculated in
times of emergency to make the terTnini
Of the canal great battle grounds and to
invite complications with other nations,
which would be avoided in case of the
| maintenance of absolute neutrality.
| He also contended against the necessity
| for the amendment as a precautionary
measure, arguing that in case of war we
would take possession of the canal with
out any previous agreement
''In case Of war we would almost GER
| tainly assume that the other nation to
| the controversy had broken the agree
ment and act accordingly"
Asked by Senator Mason if he, thought
it would be consistent on the part Of
Great Britain to fortify Jamaica and still
prevent our fortifying the mouth of the
canal, Mr. Morgan replied that the neu
trality provision only extended to the
three mile limit and not to a place SO
distant as Jamaica. Notifications of ouc@
living possessions, he said, were con-
stantly going on and the good faith of no
nation could be attacked because OF
them.
During the controversy Senator VOL
colt asked several questions indicating
his opposition to the amendment, while
Senator Mason by the same course indi-
Gated his opposition to the treaty without

to strike from the qualifications of vo-
tiers for representatives the provision re-
curing the payment of poll tax.
Mr. Williams (Miss.), offered an amend
ment requiring the payment of the poll
tax nine months prior to the election. He
said it was the universal experience OF
States having poll tax law that where
it could be paid just before the election ii
became a means of corruptng voters.
The amendment provoked a heated dis
cussion in which Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio),
Mr.. Underwood (Ala., Mr.. Linney IN.
c., and Mr.. White IN. CO, participated
TT was lost. So to 49,
Mr.. Pugh (I<y.), moved to strike out the
provision requiring that voters should
be able to speak, read and write the
English or Hawaiian language. 1t was
lost.

publicans with their inconsistency ID

rule in Hawaii in the pending bill while
denouncing at every opportunity the

BRITISH SECRET PAPERS CAPTURED.
Plans For Invasion of Transvaal Fall Into the
Boer Hands.
(By the Associated Press.l

Brandfort, Orange Free State, Mon
day, April 2.-Burghers who are re-
turning here from the scene of the
Sannas-Post ambuscade (also refer
red to as Karee and Korn Spruit), fur
nish interesting details of the occur
renee. 1t appears that when the first
retreating British wagon entered the
drift the ambassadors shouted Hands
up!" removed the officers and let the
cart through. This process was re-
peated several times till the wagons
arrived in bunch, when the ruse was
discovered and a disorderly flight fol-
lowed. In one cart were two officers,
to whom Commandant Dewet shouted
Hands up!" One of them obeyed,
whereupon the other shot his com
rade dead refused to surrender and
was Immediately shot.
The burghers lost three men killed
and ten men wounded, including a
field cornet. Among the wounded
was the Dutch military attache Nix,
who received bullet in the chest.
Altogether the Beers captured 3S9
prisoners throughout the day.
The significance of the battle must
not be moderated. 1t was fought by
a force of Free Staters on the fiat
plains and without shelter. The Free
Staters are now DESTROYS of marching
on Bloemfontein, and the Transvaal-
erS are anxious to emulate the late
success of their allies.
All the Southern Boer forces have
now formed junctures with the Boer
army and form large force of vet
