A great fire has been burning along the

The British lohg-range artillery on the
left front threw shells in the direction Of

British from the west for half an hour
during the forenoon, probably TO cover
the movement referred to. The shells hit
nobody. The Boer losses, If any. are un-

The Fuu strength Of the Republic,
Now In the Field

MODDER RIVER, Jan 81 t3-20 p. M.
Two refugees. Messrs. Norton and Coul-
ter. with their families. entered the camp
here today. The party had fourteen
horses and twenty mules. all in good con-
dition. Messrs. Norton and Coulter, in de-
scribing the conditions in the Transyaal
and Free State. said that the republican
forces had put their last ounce Of strength
in the field.
The party was not stopped once by tre
Beers. Though they had pass from
Barkley West which permitted them to go
20 Kopics Dam, which is the Msgarsfou-
tein head lager, they did not report there
because il was certain that on account Of
the excellent condition OF their horses and
mules their stock would be seized.
Norton and Coulter left their farms at
Boksburg, near Johannesburg. on SeptCm-
her =, because they saw that war was
certain. They went to a farm owned by
AIR. Norton at Dingley Dell near Taungs,
on the border Of Griqu iland West and
Bechuanaland. Tor four months they lived
on the game they shot or he veldt. They
expected that the war would be over be-
fore that time, and their sporting 2mmu-
milton having given out. they reported at
Barkley West.
The Orange Free State had already pro-
claimed Bechusnsland and Griqualand
Free State territory, and had comman-
deered every man, regardless Of his na-
tionaIity. a proclamation, dated January
20 demanded personal service from every
man or a war contribution. Those NOS
complying with either Of these demands
were notified that they would have TO get
out OF the country and leave their goods
behind. Many storekeepers with 81 500 or
So coo worth Of stock were paying assess
ments of from $3.50 20 $500 rather than
abandon their property. According to the
story told by the refugees. there is no
doubt that further assessments viii be
levied on these stOrekeepers until their
goods are exhausted. When this stage is
reached they Will be e. PEELED II they re-
fuse TO fight. Norton and Coulter state
positively that every available man on the
western frontiers Of the two republics and
in Bechuanaland and Griqualand has been
commandeered and sent to the Boer posi-
tions between here and Kimberley.

The Negro Abroad.

The good effects of Brooker 7.
Washington management of negro
affairs in the South is already seen
and acknowledg ged. The German Gov
ernment has arranged with him to send
negro experts to its possessions in
West Africa u introduce the raising
of lotion by tie natives of that couu-
;ry.
The stronghold of the negro at pres
ent is agriculture, and when his eff
cheney in that line is acknowledged by
foreign governments he will have more
general recognition in this country.
BroOker I. Washington's theory of
keeping the negro out of politics, at
least until be achieves position in all
lines of industry, and especially until
he becomes a master in agriculture, is
the true one.
When the negro is the owner of the
land he cultivates: when he runs his
own factory and conducts his own
mercantile establishment, he will find
himself an irresistible factor in the
politics of his own State and well
come auxiliary TO the powers thut
shape the policies of the nation.

With all the stories current of what

there is not one probably that can be-

ture. it Is likely has her to thank for
the plans and schemes that led him TO
liberty. Not only this, but she found
shelter among her friends for the men
who did escape. And at this point in
serving her government her cleverness
was admitted to be OF an unusual type.
II was this very gift, too. that made
her the most scientific spy, probabl

closely she was watched by the enemy.
If Miss Van Lew, after those exciting

Why the Oyster Crop Fails.

1t is pointed out ttat partial failure
of the oyster crop in certain years,
the diminution in size Of oysters on
the market AMI the extinction of many
oyster beds that formerly We're famous
-tne SadlIe Rocks, for instance
have been uue to want of material for
the prouucuUn OF the oyster shell.
The beds throughout the oyster belt
have steadily dtteriorated in late
years, auu IL many cases become alb
solutely worthless, in spite of the fact
that food has teen supplied artificial
iy at great expense and trouble, and
wire fences have been used 10 protect
the oysters fro-n tle star fish. For
this trouble the detilement of the water
by sewage anu waste OF various man
ufacturing establishments have usual
ly been blamed, sometimes justly,
sometimes without cause. What the
oyster must have, or it will perish. is
"a full supply OF carbonate OF lime
with which TO build its shell. Near
the mouths of rivers, where carbonate
of lime in mechanical solution, as it
is expressed. comes down from the
hills and the plains of the interior in
drainage, the oyster has all the ma
terial 1t needs for building its house.
and at the same time, the intiowing
tide brings it ample food.-Boston
