Islands Without Owners.

Mr.. Frederick A. Cook, writing of
Antarctic Exploration in the January
Century, tells of certain islands that
might well be fitted with lighthouses:
A series Of low pryamidal masses ap-
peared under the southern sky. 1t was
like bank of blue fog fringed with
snowy bands. The whole length of our
seabOard formed an ill-defned cloud
like aggregation resting on the black
water and extending the entire length
from norJheas. to southwest. AS we
steamed on, the center groups became
more distinct, and the whole line rose
above the horizon, where we recogniz-
ed 1t as the northern exposure of the
South Shetland Islands. During the
afternoon gentle but piercing wind
came from the land, bringing with it
a CLASSY air and an easy, silvery sea,
over which the new land stood out in
bold relief. We could distinguish Liv-
inGston Island over our pert bow, and
norJheastward, melting into the blue
airy distance were numerous similar is
lands. Over our starboard bow was
Smith Island its base still under the
water sixty miles away.
In a general way the coast-line re-
sembles parts of the Greenland land
scape, About the largest islands there
are many small, lce-free isles, or rocks
which are the resting-places of seals
penguins, oormorants and gulls. On
the larger islands, and especially on
Livingston Islan1, there are high
peaks and rounded, dome-like hills
which are tipped with snow, but their
sides are bare. The valleys are filled
with large glaciers, which send tongues
out into the sea. We saw no glaciers
however, which came out for any dis
tance into The water The limit of the
ice was generally at high-water mark
where 1t wasted away into small frag-
men,s. There was no snow on the
SOdoL iS.NlluNlo, Dul Jitlt was dloO uO-
thing to indicate vegetation From
what we later learned Of the lands fur
ther south, it is extremely possible
that moses and llchens are here abun-
dant, but there is no hope of grass OF
trees.
1t Is very curious that this group OF
islaniis, about one hundred in number
with a thousand miles cf accessible
coas.-llre and several good harbors
free from ice for much of the year
should remain unclaimed by any gov
ernment ard unsettled by human ef-
forts. Il would be a humble mission II
cur government would take possession
of this group of islands and place
there a lighthouse, with a supply sta
tIion for the preservation of ship
wrecked ClI1ors Vessels are lost in
this vicinity almost every year, and
we do ret knew but that scme poor
seamen are new stranded on one of the
many desolate islands, awaiting Che re-
lief which never comes.

The Famous Jameson Raid.


The fact that the anniversary of that
raid is at hand, and that It has more or
less connection with the present trou-
BILE beween the Beers and the English
makes the famous Jameson raid a mat
ter of much interest 1t was on De-
cember 30. 1S95--a Sunday night at
that--when Dr. Jameson started out
from Msfeking for the heart of the
Transvaal Republic with 600 picked
men behind him. Jameson had enlist
ed his troops in th> service of the
South African Chartered Company,and
they were fine lot of men. Few. If
any cf them, knew where they were
going; few, If any of them, cared, so
long as they were following the loved
profession Of fighting, and most of
them had an idea they were going TO
fight some hostile native tribe.
Jameson cut the telegraph wires and
boldly started out to strike eiCher Pre-
toria or Johannesburg, believing that
when he did so the Uitlanders would
seize arms and join him in an attempt
to overthrow the republic. 1t was
bold move and when one considers
that the Beers are now standing off a
great British army, it can be seen that
Jameson had colossal nerve in start
ing out with but 600 men. The invad-
ers were met by hastily gathered
hand of burgers, who slowly retreated
as Jameson advanced, depending upon
reinforcements being raised in time TO
crush him before he could reach any of
the larger cities. Finally, when 400
Beers had been gathered together, they
made aJstand, and that stand now has
permanent place in history The in
vaders were at last obliged to surrend-
er after losing seventeen killed and
forty-nine wounded.
AT the time it was supposed that the
invasion failed because poorly planned
but now ii seems that it was folly for
Jameson or any other man to think
that he could take 600 men, march into
| the Transvaal, be joined by 1000 Uit
land miners, and then overthrow The
republic. A momentary victory might
have been scored, but their defeat was
inevitable England disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the raid, so help from
without was beyond hope. 1t now
turns out that the raid was good
thing for the Beers for it opened their
eyes TO the fact that Jhe foreigners
within their gates were likel yto cause
trouble at any moment. Without the
raid The Beers would have been crush
ed in a few days in the present war
wllh England, and it is certain that by
Uhis time the South African republic
would not have been in existence. The
four years time that have elapsed since
Jameson opened the eyes of Dom Paul
and the Beers have been used ito good
! advantage by them, and that they have
been busily engaged in preparing for
the war they knew was inevitable is
evident from the manner in which
they ara standing off the legions of
Great Britian.-Towa State Register.

Call For a Democratic Congressional Con.
yentlon.

The meeting Of the Populist congress
sional committee of the Seventh Kansas
district at Hutchinson on Tuesday,
August 81, 1900 resulted in the with
drawal from the race for congress in this
district of both the candidates which
were nominated by the Great Bend con-
vention on April II, 1900.
This condition Of the political situa-
ton renders it necessary that new con-
ventions be held to nominate candidate
for congress in this district. The Popu-
list committee has issued its call for a
Populist convention to meet in Hutchin-
son, Kansas, on September II, 1900, for
this purpose, and recommends that a
Democratic convention be called for the
same purpose at the same time and place.
The Populist convention makes its repre-
sentation the same as the representation
was in the Democratic convention at
Great Bend.
In view Of these facts and that the
time for preliminary arrangements is
brief, in order that the nominee for con-
gress in this district may be able to enter
into the campaign at the earliest possible
date, l, as chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee of the Seventh
district, assume the responsibility OF
calling and hereby call delegate con-
vention of the Democratic party of the
Seventh Kansas congressional district
to be held in the City of Hutchinson,
Kansas, on Tuesday, September II, 1900,
to nominate a candidate for congress and
transact such other business as said con-
vention may elect. Tie basis for the APP
portionment of delegates is one delegate
at large for each county and one delegate
for each three hundred voters or major
fraction thereof cast for Hon. Jerry
Simpson at the general election in 1896
provided that no county shall have lesI
than two delegates. The several coun
, ties are entitled TO the following repre-
sentation in said convention:
