 Mafeking, Friday, March 23.-There has been little excitement during the past week. The Boer shell fire comes fitfully and has little effect. The Brit ish casualties are almost nil. The Boers seem to be breaking up their main laa- ge1- westward, but have taken up an in- trenched position northward, with the view of preventing the approach of relief force. The sharpshooters keep up a steady interchange of fire. It is ru mored that relief is near.

Beginning of Harvest Festival

New YORK, Sept. 29.--In accordance
with a custom that has existed for ten
years, the Salvation Army throughout
America observes the week commencing
today as harvest festival week of self
denial. For seven days members of the
army throughout the land will voluntar-
lily live on as little as possible and give
everything they can spare for the benefit
of the poor and suffering. Captain, en-
signs and other officers, as we'll as the
rank and file of the organization, will
deny themselves many customary arti.
cles Of food and give the amount thus
saved from their meagre salaries to the
common charity fund Nor does the
army confne this virtue to its own men,
bers, for it has sent an appeal broadcast
asking for contributions of money, cloth
ing and food in aid of the cause. At the
general headquarters on this city it was
said today that the army is trying to
raise $4,000 by the contributions this
week. Much of this amount will be
spent in the relief of the poor here at
home, while certain proportion will be
sent to India, China and Japan.

that OF the sixteen states, with 1871 cleo

WORRY ABOUT TROOPS
Army Officers Are Greatly Con-

Future.

New York, May IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Army officers are becoming more con-
cerned than ever over the danger be
lieved to be involved in the policy
adopted by the war department author
tiles in not appealing TO congress to
provide Tor a permanent increase in the
enlisted strength at the present session.
necessity OF a continuance of all the
present available force in the Philip
pines fer at least another year is now
regarded as indiSputable, yet, under ex-
listing law it is imperative that a be-
ginning must he made not later than
November in the repatriation OF troops
serving there. In the Philippines there
are $1,000 regulars and SO, 800 volunteers.
By July l Of next year all these volun-
teers must have been discharged from
the service and the entire regular army
on duty in the United States and the
islands must be reduced to 27.O0O. Al
United States. Porto Rico, Alaska, and
Hawaii. at least 1900 men must be
brought home from the Philippines be-
fore the end of the next fiscal year.
With the present ocean transport IA
~cilities, neglected chartered tramp
steamers, which are hardly fit to carry
mules and forage. it will take at least
six months to return and discharge the
number of men essential to reduce the
army to its authorized strength. 1t is
declared to be out of the question to
attempt any reduction of the force in
the Philippines now, whensas a matter
of fact many operations nave been in
effective for lack of force, and it is
feared tina when reductions begin in
November h departure of troops viii
have a disastrous effect by giving en-
enlargement to TagaI leaders.
But this is nothing compared to the
danger of p~rotracted debate over the
proposed permanent increase in the next
session of congress. Little can he aX-
pected in the way Of such legislation
in December or January, and prominent
officers frankly declare that the matter
should be settled this summer.
