Major Chic let the reporter shake
his famous peach tree growing in
his yard, yesterday, promising him
all that fell. Now from a physical
stand point, the Major did not
think the reporter much shake (s)
and when the old gent saw six fine
fellows roll on the ground, he said
Don't shake so hard, you will tear
the limbs from the tree" People
get deceived sometimes, 1t is
needless to say, we had peaches and
cream for dinner yesterday.

down and killed a couple of police
men few days ago in New Orleans
was located in negro house
Friday and when his capture was
undertaken, he killed four men
and wounded a score of others
before he was run out of the house
by it being set on fire. He was
riddled with bullets when he came
out. Other negros have been killed

The multiplying indications that the bi.
cycle has lost none Of its past popularity
give increased force to the arguments for
better highways. There Ia little reason to
believe that the efforts OF the League OF
American Wheelmen will be less successful
in the future than heretofore, but the prog
ress to be made by the League unaided
must necessarily DO somewhat slow. This
fact, coupled with that Of the demand, con-
a greater number OF smooth and service
able roads, not only for wheelmen, but for
the benefit Of all who use four-wheeled
vehicles. has led many persons to inquire,
Why do not the wheelmen and the automo-
bilists unite'
There are more reasons than one for the
belief that such'a union would be profitable
and would result not only in assuring the
continuance Of the work for improved roads
being lone by the wheelmen but also in expe-
diting II. 1t is argued that the objects and
requirements Of the l.. A. W. and the Auto
mobile Club OF America are coincident In all
important respects. Each association is
striving for fair treatment, so far as con.
Germs its use Of vehicles, and each, prima.
rily, Ia working for the betterment Of the
roadways used by the public at large. Many
conveniences now enjoyed to a limited ex.
tent by cyclists, as, for example, sign.
boards here and there In various parts OF
the country, will appeal forcibly to the
owners OF automobiles.
A,o.har confederation ub;,h ..~.. T.
the cooperation Of the two bodies In cues.
ton Is that the League OF the wheelmen
has, by reason Of it's greater age, acquired
an experience in dealing with the problems
Of road construction which should prove
extremely valuable to an organization
engaged in promoting that work. 1t has
encountered the difficulties which naturally
attend such undertakings, and has dis
covered, at least in a degree, n way to
overcome them.
On the other hand, the Automobile Club
has set out with a show of ambition
which should convince every one that II IL
prepared to labor industriously and long
for the accomplishment Of is purpose It's

Of several men we'll known throughout the

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Following up their successes OF the past two
weeks. the Beers appear to be forcing the
lighting all along the line. In the southeast Of
the Free State they have concentrated against
Gen. Brabant and his Colonials. whom they
attacked on Monday, renewing the fighting
yesterday morning. While this fight was in
progress. another force was detached toward
sprlngfontein. the junction OF the railways
from Colesbere and Burshersiorp by which
Lord Roberts's reeniorcements and supplies
have been coming w from Port Elizabeth and
East London. The news from Lord Roberts IL
vague, but indicates that the Bopr activity in the
south has compelled him to action. The nat
ural supposition Is that he will try to cut Of the
Bosr commands now south Of Bloemfontein
and strike a vigorous blow that may go far to
shorten the campaign. The sudden diversion
Of Gen. Rundle's division from Kimberley TO
Springfor tein is a sign OF the gravity Of the
situation both for the British and Beers.
The initiative OF the fighting reported from
Natal is uncertain. The fighting said to have
begun yesterday near ElandslaaRte and to-
ward the Drakensberg up Sundays River may
BE- merely for the purpose Of feeling the Boer
positions, or IL may be the preliminary to an
attempt on the part OF Geu. Butler to force one

came through Buluwayo on March 81 and was

Rhodesia. had arrived at Cape Tow and was
leaving for Beira. where the new Australian
Bushmen's Corps have already begun to arrive
on their way through the Portuguese territory.

dealing them a crushing blow II he has q
sufficiently strong mounted force to strike

should be able to close the avenues of their

No School OF Diplomacy Needed.

Every now and then somebody asserts
that our international interests would be
promoted by a body Of professional diplo-
matists, and that it might be we'll for our
Federal Government to establish at WASH
ington a school in which young men should
be trained for diplomatic functions. The
assertion is based on the assumption that,
in European countries, diplomatic duties
are entrusted only to men especially trained
for the purpose, and that, by neglecting to
follow their example, the United States are
placed at a disadvantage in negotiations.
That the assumption Is not warranted by
facts will be clear to any one who reads on
article IN Diplomacy as a Profession
contributed by a Diplomat" to the last
number OF the London National Reriep.
The writer OF this article begins by point
ing out that the field Of diplomacy has been
signally narrowed during the last half CEN
fury, and is likely TO be still further
curtailed. What he has In mind is the
extreme rapidity with which negotiations
can he now carried on, owing To the
enormous extensions Of the facilities ~
communication; that is to say. the spread
OF the postal system and the establishment
of the electric telegraph. When the long
distance telephone shall have come into
general use the intimidation OF the func-
tons entrusted to diplomatists sent to
foreign countries will be- complete. The
outcome Of this tremendous change in the
facilities of communication is obviously
twofold. to wit: the onccntration of direct
responsibility in the erson of the Minister
for Foreign Affairs and the Withdrawal Of
almost all the responsibility which formerly
rested IN diplomatic representatives. #
follows that diplomacy, considered as a
profession, is losing its roison dffre. and
IL tending to disappear.
The day is coming when the only material
service which can he rendered by a diplo.
matte representative will be to acquire so
thorough a knowledge OF the character and
customs OF the people to witch he Ia
accredited rs will enable him to acoualnt
his Government with tho trend Of public

Much Of the opposition to a free trade
