tered in the exact whereabouts Of the
allied armies. From japanese sources
came the most advanced information,
first In the Toxic advices that Tung
Chow had been occupied and later In
an official dispatch from the Japanese
foreign office to Minister Takahira con-
firmfng this report. The minister
promptly communicated his information
to the department. and it was accepted
by the officials, as the latest and most
authentic news of the whereabouts of
the relief column.
Some days had elapsed, however, since
this occupation of Tung Chow and there
had been ample time to cover the twelve
miles between that place and Pekin
Whether the allied forces actually were
there is the all absorbing question on
which every one awaited word with
anxiety. Secretary Root was satisfied
that Tung Chow had been left behind
and this was one of the reasons why 1t
was regarded as futile to consider Ii
hung lining proposition Tor an afIl1S-
tice at Tung Chow.
A dispatch was also received from
Admiral Remey conveying the Japan
csc report of the occupation of Tung
Chow and adding the statement, also on
japanese authority, that the attack on
Pekin was expected to be made yester-
day. A dispatch was sent to General
Chaffee, but its contents was not made
public. Although the officials regarded
it as important 1t doubtless made the
American commander aware of the fact
that there was no deviation in the
American attitude A dispatch also
was sent to Minister Conger, advisory
in character, giving him the benefit of

BY BRITISH IN
PANTRY

Again and again through the war the
British infantry have confirmed their
old reputation. There is probably no
more trustworthy body of lighting men
in the world The defence of Lady
smith, the prolonged fighting on the
Tugela, the victory of Peters Hill, tell
the old tale of logged steadiness and
unflinching advance. But as a whole
the war has not been an infantry war
Against a mounted enemy, the foot
have seldom had 6, real chance. They
have storned positions and held posi-
tions, but time after time before they
could come to close grips the enemy has
melted away from between their hands
and vanished in the distance or the
dark. Their marching has astonished
generals, but let them toll over even
twenty miles day, and what Is the
good against horses which will cover
thirty in half the time, and bring their
riders up fresh into action at the end
of it? Infantry on the march are al
most always tired, and it is worse than
useless to take them into action when
they are half dead Of WEAKNESS and
thirst. That Is one of the things which
nlC'idCli LclSOL dL NlCuuGT ILlVSE ana
Gatacre at Stormberg. Against infan-
try equally they would more than hold
their own but against infantry mount
ed the balance is unfair. If in a war
like this we depended on infantry alone
or chiefly, 1t would probably go on for
years.
AS to the oot-soldier's arms, the con-
troversy still continues whether it is
better to load with five cartridges at
once, or to load with single cartridges,
and have magazine of eight in re-
serve In loading behind cover there is
no doubt that the Briton has exposed
himself more than the Boer, but that
may not be the rifles fault. At all
events, for accuracy and range, the
Mauser has been proved at least the
equal of the Lee Metford The "dan-
gerous zone" Of fire in the field has been
almost trebled in extent, and at Lady
smith few rifles rested on a wall kept
down the fire of a gun at a range of
twenty-five hundred yards. On the alb
solute necessity of good craftsmanship
In modern war we need not dwell. Eve
ry one knows that to this as much as to
their horses and guns the Beers owed
their early successes. A soldier who is
not marksman may just as well stay
away from future fields.-London

IN HONOR OF MAJOR McCABE.
A Complimentary Banquet Given by

A Complimentary Banquet Given by
the Grays Last Night
The Grays last night gave a royal
complimentary banquet to their cap
tain, Charles F. McCabe, just elected
major of the Second regiment. The
banquet was held at the Hotel Tontine
and 116 persons were present. After the
dinner, Lieutenant Gruener, the toast
master, called upon General e. e. Brad
lev who, on behalf of the company
presented to Major McCabe handsome
sword as o token of the esteem in
which he is held by his company. In
the course of the presentation speech
General Bradley said, speaking to Ma
jor McCabe; Let US hope that the
golden eagle you wear on your shoulder
tonight may be soon replaced by the
silver leaf and that by the silver
eagle
AS Major McCabe arose to receive the
sword the Grays' cheer was given by
the assemblage. Major McCabe said
that the company was in good condi
ton, financially and otherwise. The
membership of the company was every
thing that could be desired. He said:
eve have no dead wood. I never car
ried dead wood. / always found that
three or four worthless men democrat
lied the whole company. Let such men
go. There are men enough who want
to enlist. Membership in this company
I believe to be the best in any COM
pany in the city of New Haven and
elsewhere To say that a man is
GRAY marks him as being GENTLE
man.
When he finished speaking a large fig
ure of a horse was wheeled into the
banquet hall and the new major was
placed upon the dummy steeds back
and wheeled about the hall-to give him
practice in riding preparatory for camp,
as some said
Speeches were made by Captain
James M. Townsend, ex-Lieutenant
Governor J. D. Dewell, Major Clark of

In one case only observed the men
toned discoloration, though it was i'm
possible to notice any heart action by
any means. l at once resorted to
venesection. and, sure enough, the blood
flowed and after a short time faint
heartbeats up 10 seven per minute
could be distinguished. Everything was
done to start respiration, Yet 1t was
too late and the heart beats within
half an hour gradually diminished.
The corpse had been laying for dead
