Military Critic Writes on Du-
ration of Boer War.
Expects Organized Resistance to
Last 90 Days: Will take Six
Months Longer to Occupy
South African Country.

itary critic, in an article ON
"How long will the Boer war
last?' which will appear in the
forthcoming edition of Leslie's
Weekly says:
In the summer of 1861 there
were few men in or out of the
United States who foresaw that
the war Of Secession would last
for four years if any held that
opinion he gained little credence
for it at that time. In June,
1865, only those who had spe-
cial opportunities of knowing
the condition of the Prussian
army foresaw that the Austrian
empire would be suing for peace
within six weeks of the outbreak
of the then pending hostilities.
The duration of war depends
partly upon the nature of the
country in which it is waged,
but more upon the relative re-
sources of the two belligerents
and the energy and determina-
ton with which each of them
throws into it. The last named
is probably the most important
factor.
L have from the beginning ex-
pected that the Beers would
make a desperate fight, Accord
ing to their view, the cause for
which they are in arms is that
of their independence, or their
national existence, and for that
cause every community will
fight harder and longer than for
any other.
Great Britain is fighting for
the unity of her empire and for
the moral existence of the Brit
ish nation. 1t is cause which
appeals less directly to the in
telligence of the masses than
that of independence and the
disproportion between the re-
sources of the British empire
and those of the Boer republics
is so great that neither the Brit
ish government nor the con-
stituencies by whose tone it is
accustomed to guide itself, are
able to realize the Importance of
extreme exertions to bring the
war speedily to an end.
In the present case the Brit
ish government, the group of
politicians in charge of the
nations affairs is not yet more
than half awake, and if the
provision hitherto made for the
conduct of the war should prove
insufficient there would be con-
siderable delay before fresh ex-
ertions by way of preparation
would produce a visible result.
| hardly expect the resistance
of the BOer armies in the field
to be prolonged for more than
three months, but ] should not
be surprised if the effective
occupation of the whole country
required a further six months
of continuous effort.
There are now under the com.
mand of Lord Roberts altoget her
100000 men, and even if the
most liberal deductions be made
for casualties Of all sorts, for in
vaIids, for garrisons left on the
communications, and for troops
stationed in the districts lately
disaffected; and if we allow that
there may be in Natal 10000 to
supply a field force of 10000
there is still abundant meterial
for Lord Roberts to attack the
Beers with a force outnumhering
their whole army. On the lowest

DIDN'T AM THE FaDaRIL COURT.
Nebraska Board of transportation Orders
a Reduction OF Freight Rates.

OMAHA. Neb.. Feb. 2+.-Acting under the
orders Of the Hartman railway syndicate md
other New York railroad pools, the railway
attorneys to-day fled q petition In the Federal
Court asking that the case In which the state
Board Of TRANSPORTATION orders a reduction OF
20 per cent. In freight rates be removed to the
Federal Court. The railroad attorneys give
this explanation:
The Maximum Rate cases were bills brought
by certain stockholders Of railroads doing
business in this State to enIoin the railroad
companies and the Board OF Transportation
from putting into effect the rates fixed by the
Newberry bill Of 1893. In these cases DEGREES
were entered perpetuaily enJoining the com
panies and the Board OF Transportation from
putting theso rates into effect aud enIoining
the board from entertaining com plants under
that act or enforcing any order hereunder.
upon the ground that the rates fixed by the act
did not yield to tho railroad companies a rea-
sonable return upon investments.
I'm the decree II was provided that " the con-
dItions should thereafter change 40 that the
rates fixed by tho Newberry bill would yield, q
fair return then the defendants might. by
applying to the court and making a showing 70
that effect. have the DEGREES so modified To 20
permit the putting In OF hess rates. In
board Is now. atte mpting 10 proceed to estapllsn
rates lower than those ixed In the Newberry
bill without first having applied. to the Eedsral
