they had overthrow the governments
of the republics by overwhelming force
of arms they should deal with the
brave burghers remaining, not by per-
petualIy increasing the expenditure,
but by a policy of reconciliation,
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman said
that the secretary of state for war had
made a frank statement as to the real
condition of affairs and he expressed
hope that the government would bring
home the volunteers.
Mr. Broderick replied that it would
be impossible for the government to
give any pledge on that point, as Lord
Kitchener must be kept supplied with
many mounted men.
Timothy Healy remarked: "A war be-
gun in braggadocia and hypocrisy has

The supplementary estimates of 916,-
100000 were then adopted by vote of
2S4 against 8.
The house having gone into commit
tee of ways and means, the chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, explained that the existing Dor
rowing powers of the chancellor only
amounted to G5,000,000 He moved,
therefore, a resolution authorizing him
to borrow, by war loan, exchequer bonds
or treasury bills, G11.000,0O0. He said
he did not expect to use his borrowing
powers until February or March and he
asked the house to postpone any discus
sion Of the subject until the second read
ing next Thursday.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman ex-
pressed his approval of the resolution,
which was agreed to.
The committee then rose and the
house adjourned.

FIRST TOBACCO SALES.
Crops Bought by Two New Haven Man
ufacturers.

ufacturers.
| East Hartford, Dec. 1.-THE first
sales of this seasons broad leaf tobacco
in this section were reported this morn
ing, and it is likely that, now break
has been made, other sales will rapidly
follow. The crops sold were by Dennis
Driscoll, John Helm Henry Pitkin John
F. Burnham, Harry S. Powers, William
Kinnary, Charles Chandler and Mott
Brothers, all of South Windsor, to f.
Grave of New Haven. The tobacco was
in bundle and prices paid varied from
% to 27 cents per pound. Several other
farmers in the same vicinity refused Of
fers of 231s cents per pound for their
crops.
Two other sales on private terms to
Osterweis of New Haven were also re-
ported, but the names of the sellers
were withheld. These sales of broad
leaf are the first of the season and the
prices received are very satisfactory.
The price is above the average of last
season and indicate that the crop as
whole will sell at prices above last year.
The sales reported amounted to one
hundred acres.

A WIN MING BOY.
Earns His Medals by the Use of Good
Food.

A vicksburg, Miss, boy, ], B. Smith,
corner Grove and Third streets, says;
st have been studying very hard to try
and beat my room in examination.
/ have been eating oatmeal and cream
for breakfast all my life. Lately when
the hard study began l did not feel well
enough to go to school, and there
was an examination ahead of me and
an exhibition, too.
Il was determined to go through this
examination, but felt so sick all the
time that l didn't know how to accom-
plish it. Well, mother saw the Grape
Nuts food advertised, so she bought
some and gave it to me for breakfast
every morning, and you just ought to
see what this food did for me.
II began to get well at once and grow
hearty and fat, in spite of my hard
work. Above all that I did beat my
room at examination, making a general
average that was the highest mark in
the room. / am also able to take part
al The military drill tomorrow night
at the exhibition and will try for the
gold medal for general excellence. If
YOU think there is any question about
this you can write to Bro. Garbrial,
our principal and he will tell you that
it is true"
1t is of the greatest Importance that
parents feed their growing children,
during study, on the most nourishing
food possible to obtain, and there is no
question on this score regarding Grape
Nuts for the food is compounded of the
elements selected from the grains which
go to quickly make and rebuild the
brain and nerve centers. Any parent
can prove this statement by feeding the
children on Grape-Nuts. Obtained
from any tirst-class grocer.

WILL NOT HELP KRUGER.
DUTCH GOVER NMENT MIKES A
DEFINITE SETTLEMENT.
Refuses TO Take the Initiative In an
Effort to Secure Arbitration Between
the Transvaa1 and Great Britain.

The Hague, Dec. 1.-THE Dutch gov
eminent to-day finally and definitely
refused to take the initiative in behalf
of arbitration between the Transvaal
and Great Britain.
The decision of the government was
communicated during an interview be-
tween Mr.. Kruger and Dr. Leyds and
the Dutch foreign minister, and the
minister of finance, N. G. Pierson. Mr..
Kruger explained that the object of his
journey was to disseminate the idea of
arbitration, and the Dutch minister re-
piled that the role of the Netherlands
must be passive. The initiative be-
longed to the great powers, they added.
When the great powers had reached
decision the Dutch government might
see what it could do.
A serenade of Mr.. Kruger by the
scholars fixed for tonight has been
prohibited by the police out of fear of
disturbances.

Why Charters Are High.

There seems to be an impression among
the wheat growers OF Eastern Washington
that the scarcity OF wheat tonnage on
this Coast, and the consequently high
price for wheat charters. Is due TO some
local condition which prevails here. hence
we see appeals made 20 the commercial
bodies OF the Puget sound cities to try to
do something towards procuring more ves-
sells to come TO the Coast ports.
The fact IL that at the present time there
is shortage OF tonnage all over the
where there may be a temporary
congestion due TO local conditions. The
causes Of this shortage are several. One
important factor Is that large number
OF steamers have been Withdrawn from
commercial freight carrying and are now
being usej for army transports. The
United States purchased a relatively large
feet OF vessels OF this character at the
commencement OF the war with spain.
and has had 10 add heavily 10 Il. on the
