RUFUS GRISWOLD'S LETTERS.

Mrs. Rufus Griswold of Bangor, Me, has given to the Boston Public Library the collection of manuscript letters left by her husband and published in part a couple of years ago by her son, Will liam Griswold, who died last Summer This collection consists of about twelve hundred pieces covering the period from 1880 to 1870, and they all have a high literary value, especially the letters re- lating to Edgar Allen Poe, some of which are from his own pen. There are ten letters from Thomas Chivere, who contended that Poe stole the meter of 'HThe Raven" from his own earlier piece. John q. Whittier is represented by twenty-three letters and there are two from Henry Clay.-Boston Tran script

HAPPENINGS SUFFERINGS.


Hunger and Sickness Aiding the Boers Mafeking. Feb. 19.-Horse meat now composes a considerable part of our ra- eions. There is little grumbling. The first pinch of the siege is over, and the town has settled grimly to stick it out What may be typhoid malaria has broken out in the women's laager, and dysentery, due to the absence of vege- tables, is rife among the garrison.
 We are thrown upon our own re- sources. Such luxuries as we had are exhausted, or have been communicated for the hospitals, which are filled to OverfloWing. The chiidrens graveyard close to the women's laager grows week. ly, as the young lives are cut short pre- maturely by shell and fever. We look with hope deferred, for relief.
 The cheerfulness which was charac- teristic of the early days of the siege has almost deserted us, the men pre- ferring to remain at their posts rather than move about and work up an appe- tite which cannot be satisfied. The na- lives aIe in tAe worst plight. Those who are unable to obtain work are al lowed a small handful of meal daily. Many, braviug the danger, wander about the town with gaunt and hungry faces in search of work, which entities them to an extra ration of meal. If they find work they are generally too weak to perform ii.
 From their advanced posts the Boers rake the streets and the market square It is impossible to dodge their bullets We have taken remarkable precaution, however, and the casualties, though heavy, are not what they might have been had less able men been at the head of affairs. Even the headquarters mess fares scantily.

London, March s, 423 p. m.-Lord Roberts telegraphed to-day that he has | captured Krupp gun and a number of tents and wagons. Following is the text of the despatch:
 l Poplar Grove, March S.-Two bri- gades of cavalry, with horse artillery and Kelly-Kennys division, marched to- | day ten miles eastWards. The Boers were quite taken by surprise yesterday. They moved off so hurriedly that they 1 left cooked dinners behind. We cap tured Krupp gun and several tents and wagons.
 "The total casualties were: Killed Lieutenants Keswick and Frieslck. Wounded-Lieutenant Bailey of the Twelfth Lancers and De Crespigny of the Second Life Guards, both severely, and Lieutenant Smith of the Shrop- shres, who is believed to have been picked up by Boer ambulance. Two
 men were killed, forty-six wounded
 and one man is missing.
 "Gatacre reports that he intends oc-
 cupying Burghersdorp to-day. Repairs
 to the railways towards both Storm
 berg and Steynburg are being pushed.
 Clements now occupies Norvals Point, on the south bank of the Orange
 river. The bridge was blown up March 6, and the enemy are holding the north
 bank of the river, but not, it is believed, in any great strength
 The full extent of Lord Roberts suc- cess of yesterday is not yet clear, but the, best informed appear satisfied that it brings peace perceptibly nearer. EX- perts anticipate that the burghers will make no further stand west of the Free State capital, and some of them deduce from the fact that the Boer forces are divided and have retreated in different directions. that dmoralization has set in and that the Transvaal forces will next be found carefully in- trenched in positions north of the Vaal river, while the bulk of the Free Staters will abandon the contest and sue for peace.
 Elsewhere the news indicates that the conditions continue hopeful, from British point of view, the telegrams from Mafeking alone showing any de- spondency.

 ln Waists.

Very chic are the new Handkerchief w al sts, made from squares of silk, fringed around the edge and woven and printed in the most ar tistic color schemes. We show some very beauti- full effects in rose color ings, porcelain blues, serpent greens and the pastel shades, with pret- ty striped borders; also soft white grounds, with wide border in Persian effect, and elaborate de- signs in the handsome all- over warp prints.
 The beauty of these waists is, that they're sufficiently simple to be made by the most inex- perienced amateur dress makers.
 Another style which promises to rival the Handkerchief Waist, is the Ribbon Waist, dain- tily fashioned of strips of lace insertion and ribbon. These are ex tremely fashionable and are marvelously rich in effect. A very lovely design, on display at the Ribbon department, is in violet satin ribbon, alter hating with white lace insertion.
 A very stylish shirt waist in white lawn is made of all-over em- broidery, buttoning in back with tiny pearl buttons; white linen coll lar, also buttoning in back, linen cuffs. This is known as the French waist, and promises to be much favored. Ask to look at it.
 Any of the above waists may be made to your order, in our cus- tom waist department, at very reasonable cost.

If any one suggests the possibility of surrender 1t is because we do not mean to get beaten, and we are cheerfully enduring the hardShips of to-day rather than to make surrender in any degree possible tomorrow.

give for it? Is his name, undoubtedly
an eminent one in some quarters, used in
the board of directors as a bait to catch
investors? Did Mr.. Jones himself pay
par in cash money" for the stock that
he holds? Is his possession of it, or any
part Of it, due to the fact that ne is in
luential in the finance committee Of the
United States Senate, and by virtue Of
his position there could do his company,
or Mr.. Searles', or almost any company
Of the kind in which he or Mr.. Searles
might have an interest, a very important
service at d very critical time?
We have never known a gentleman Of
Mr.. Jones' financial prospects to grow
rich suddenly except by some means Of
this kind. In other words, and to be,
plain, it is fair to infer, until Mr.. Jones
denies 1t, that he is 1T, neither on ac-
count Of his cash, nor his property, nor;
some invention of demonstrated valne,
but rather on account Of his ''pull" or his
swing. We say that it: is fair to infer
this until Mr.. Jones denies it, because
Mr. Jones, by reason Of his unjust at
tacks upon leading Republicans puts
himself very much in the public eye and
invites attack from any quarter. Mr..
Jones has no business to live in a glass
house with perfect safety il he is going
to keep throwing such large stones.

The composite chairman Of the Popu-
list Democracy, Senator Jones Of Arkan-
sas, is still resenting with considerable
heat the charge that since he is such an
important officer Of the American Cotton
Company Capital $1,000, 600; John %.
Searles, lately treasurer Of the sugar
trust, grand moguD, it must be that he
is high priest in the trust temple, or,
at least, that he is reckless, abandoned
plutocrat. To do Mr.. Jones entire JUS
tice, we suppose that the American Cot
ton Company is not a vicious trust which
deserves to be destroyed, any more than
a number Of other corporations Of 81
100000 capital in the hands OF former
officers Of more monopolistic trusts. Pre-
sumably the American Cotton Company
will make all the money it can, will make
dividends, indeed, upon it's s., 000, 900 Of
stock. Mr.. John q. Searles can be trust
ed to look after little thing like that,
even If Mr.. Jones deyotes all OF his at
tention for the next three months, or for
the next three years, for that matter, to
Populist Democratic politics exclusively.
The phase Of Mr.. Jones connection
with the American Cotton Company
which we would like him to explain is
this, rather: How much Of the 81 ,OOO,-
600 of the stock Of the company has he
got, how did he get it, and what did he

manufacturers HAVE
A VERY BUSY YEAR.
Exports Under the Dingley Law
Show Vast Growth.
The Demand for Raw Material Is So
Great that Imports Of Manufacture
ers' Material Have Also
Greatly Increased.

The manufacturers of the United
States are making their greatest record
in this closing year OF the century. Busy
workshops, smoking chimneys, factories
running on double time and, in some
cases, the full twenty-four hours with
three shifts of hands, are an evidence OF
this; but exact proof is found in the re.
port of the chief of the bureau Of Stats
tics, just issued, which shows an enor-
nous increase in the importation of the
raw materials which they use in manu-
featuring and an equally enormous in
crease in the expectation of finished man
ufactures. Importations Of manufacture
ers' materials in the fiscal year 1900
were more than double those IN the fiscal
year 1894 and, during the three fiscal
years in which the Dingley law has been
in operation, have exceeded, by more
than $100,000,0 900, the imports of raw
materials in the three years in which
the Wilson law was in operation, while
the expectations Of finished mannfac.
lures, in the three years under the Ding
ley law. have exceeded, by more than
$500, GOO, 900, the expectations OF manu-
features in the three years under the
Wilson law.
Evidence from Official Sources.
Here are the official figures showing
the importation of manufacturers ma
terals and expectations of manufactures
in the fiscal years 1895, 1896 and 1897,
all of which were under the Wilson low
tariff, contrasted with those during the
fiscal years 1898, 1899 and 1900, which
were under the Dingley tariff The Will
son tariff, It will be remembered, went
into operation Aug. %, 1894, and the
Dingley tariff on July 26, 1897, so that
the fiscal years ending June 30, 1895,
1896 and 1897, were practically all with
in the operations Of the low tariff and
those Of 1898, 1899 and 1900 were prac-

The above table is worthy of careful
study. We have been hearing, for years,
from Democratic orators first, that free
raw materials would help the manufac-
turers. and, second, that a protective
tariff destroys our chances in foreign
markets, yet it will be seen by this table
that the importations of Articles in q

dustries' amounted, in the three years
Under the Wilson free trade law, to S6lo,-
405, 152, while in the three years under
the Dingley protective tariff they amount
to SIPS, S21 ,352 Look also at the narrow
column, which indicates the percentages
Of the total imports which these raw ma
terials form, and You viii see that they
form much greater proportion OF the to-
tai imports under the Republican system
of protection than under the Democratic
system Of free trade. Why? The an
swer is simple enough. Under the Dem
ocratic low tariff, absolute free trade IN
some particulars, many manufacturers
were compelled either to close their
works or reduce their output owing TO
the heavy importation of manufactures
from abroad under the low tariff rates.
Hence the small consumption of raw
material in manufacturing. This differ
ence Of more than S100, 100000 in the
quantity of raw materials imported in the
three years means difference of several
hundred millions OF dollars in the amount
Of goods manufactured and hundreds Of
millions in the amount of money paid to
wage earners in the various manufactqr-
