WILL TRAVEL INCOGNITO
Kruger Plans for His Trip Through
 Europe

Paris, October 3O-The foreign officials believe former President Kruger will trav- el incognto during his visit to the Euro pean capitals, rellnquishing it in each city only to permit an exchange of visits be- tween MT Kruger and the head of the nation. His stay in Paris will not exceed forty-eight hours and possibly only twen- ty-four. The French government will not offer Mir Kruger any formal function, though it is expected the city will tender him demonstration which will be scene of enthusiasm.
 The government will not take part in the reception, but will not, however, put any obstacles in the way of private plans of welcome. In short, the government will not take any step likely to be construed as an offense to Great Britain, though 1t is certain President Loubet and MT. Kruger will exchange visits. The same proceeding could and, perhaps will be followed at each European capital visited.

oossAcKs ARE RUssIA's PRISONERS.

From Ainslee's Magazine.
 The Cossaeks are the arms and legs of Russia, while the moujik is the backbone. The Cossacks won Siberia for Russia when they were the daring fringe of her popu1a- ton, grown adventurous and warlize by their frequent conflicts with the Tartars who crowded Russia's borders. In them is concentrated the enterprise and the ag- gressiveness which the moujil1 lacks. They cut the path and the moujiks followed, and the descendants of these hardy pioneers live throughout Siberia today, forming q hereditary military caste. So strict are the laws of heredlty among the Cossacks that 1t is almost impossible for an officer who was not born one to obtain a commission in Cossack regiment

highness adds:
IT have come to the conclusion that
Russia feared Afghanistan, as a war
with the AfghanS would mean a gen.
eral rising of all Islam, which would
spread through Russian-Asia. Russia
has not troops enough to combat such
a rising. Her hold on the Mussulman
countries she has conquered is inse-
cure. They hate her and with ten
times her power, Russia could not fight
Afghanistan and India SUCCESSFULLY.
1.-The Afghans prefer death to slavery
and their women and children are be-
ing taken by the Russians"
After saying he is willing TO send
in the Transvaal, but adding that the
Afghans areJunaccustomed to the sea

But England's troubles are always
my troubles; her strength is my
strength, and her weakness is my
weakness. England must remember
hat I am always ready to fight fol
