no other road in America carries any

mail-carrying contract has been Sc
cured by this great railroad for more
than 25 successive years Is proof as

AWARD OF BRITISH CONTRACTS

London, Dec lin the House of
Commons to-day Sir Alfred Hickman,
conservative, member for West Wolver-
hampton, brought up the subject of the
contract for the Uganda railroad
bridges going to America, insinuating
that favoritism had been shown the
American firms.
Lord Cranborne, parliamentary sec
rotary of the foreign office, repudiated
the suggestion. He said that tenders
were invited from the United Kingdom
on exactly the same conditions as from
the United States, but the American
tender was accepted because it was
much the lowest. While the govern
ment was anxious to employ British
firms, it could only give contracts when
consistent with public interests.
Another question elected the state
ment that there had been 1885 cases
of typhoid fever among the British
troops in South Africa, and that of this
number 3,642 proved fatal.

BILL WAS TOO SMART

my son Bill" said the Maryland
farmer, was just too smart for any
thing. I had big red bull, who use6
to get loose once in a while and lick
everything in the state, and Bill was
ready to bet his last cent on the crit
ter. One day, when a circus procession
was comm up the road, Bill comes run
min from the barnyards and says:
"'Dad, I'm goin' to Jet the bull not.
eur why says I.
eur to see him hev fun with the
elephant
Don't you do nothin' of the kind.
The elephant would break his back in
holy mint
"'Never, dad-never! Our bull will
roar one roar dive one dive, and he'll
tumble that behemoth into the ditch
and then upset the band wagon. Dad,
it's the chance of our life to see a heap
of fun
"Waal, now" draWled the old man.
bill said so much that I told him to
go ahead. Mebbe that bull smelt them
three elephants a mile away, fur when
he was let out he was ready for a row.
He paved and bellered and worked his
mad up and when the elephants finally
come along selected the biggest of the
three and made fur him. One of the
circus men called out fur us to take
our critter away, but we was lettin'
him take keer of hisself jest then. With
a heller and a rush he was up on the
but things didn't happen as
Bill had planned 'em. Say now. but
that big beast met our bull head on and
knocked him fat and then he got his
trunk under him and flung him into a
swamp, and never even looked back at
him. We went down to see our bull
and he had tears in his eyes, a broken
leg and one horn gone. I looked at Bill
and Bill looked at me, and bimeby, I
says:
"'Bill this critter cost me $40 in
cash.

EXPLANATION AT THE HAGUE.
How the Rupture With Portugal Cam

How the Rupture With Portugal Came
acknowledgement Reports.
The Hague, Dec. 11.-Replying in the
second chamber to-day to the interpret
lation of Count Van By,andt, notice of
which was given yesterday, on the sub
ject of the tension between the Neither
lands and Portugal, the foreign minis
ter, Dr. W. H. De Beaufort, sketched
the history of the misunderstanding,
which, he declared, had been exagger-
ated. He said that the Dutch minister
at Lisbon, Baron Van Heekeren, an
nounced on November II that Portugal
desired to withdraw the exequatur of
Herr Pott as consul of the Netherlands
at Lourenzo Marques, unless the gov
eminent of the Netherlands would OBJ
viate the necessity by dismissing or re-
calling Herr Pott.
AS the Netherlands government had
no official information that Herr Pott
had permitted, as alleged, the impor-
tation of contraband of war; it would
not accede to the demand for his recall
without fuller inquiry, and it there
fore instructed the minister at Lisbon
to cable to Herr Pott asking him to
applied for leave to come to Europe,
which was granted, and the Neither
lands progressed to Portugal that an in
vestigation be made during the consuls
visit, and that three months be allowed
for the rendering of report on the
subject. The government of the Meth
erlands supposed that Portugal ap-
proved of this proposal, and was sur
prised to learn soon afterwards that
Portugal insisted on Withdrawing the
exequatur of Herr Pott.
The foreign minister explained that
he was not aware whether fresh COM
plants against Herr Pott We're the
cause of this, but a notification sent to
the Netherlands minister of the with
drawal of the exequatur now would i'll
accord with the very friendly relations
between teh Netherlands and Portugal
Immediately after the exequatur was
withdrawn, however, the Dutch minis
ter was summoned to give Informal
ton, and Herr Pott was expected at
The Hague within a month.
After Count Van Bylandt had ex-
pressed the hope that the difficulties
would be speedily settled, the subject
was dropped.

mfttee of supply, and William st. John
Broderick, the secretary of state for
war, introduced the supplementary es-
Inmates of G16,000,0 900 for the army. He

He added that the governments policy
was to pursue the war with the strong
