London, May 1o.-The tidings from
Mafeking are gloomier than ever.
Everybody there has an empty stom-
ach and pinched face. The natives
are no longer given porridge and the
whites now have nothing but a quart
of that substance and pound Of horse
sausage daily. Everything else eatable
has gone. Insufficient food, wet
trenches and cold nights are deadly to
the health of the garrison. This in
formation comes from reliable natives

Underwriters Put up Reasons For High

Topeka, May 12.-The school house
In district No. II, Hodgeman county,
was entirely destroyed by a wind storm
last Sunday. Hardly splinter OF the
building was left on the original site.
It was insured in the Shawnee Fire
company for $500. The wind storm
of last Sunday over the state caught
most of the local companies for large
amounts.
1t is asserted by prominent Topeka
fire insurance man that out of about
400 fire companies writing business in
the United States, only four did a
profitable business last year.
Fire insurance rates have been raised
in Chicago and Philadelphia as much
as p per cent within the last few
months because of the unusual fire
losses. It is said that in the congested
insurance district in ST. Louis the in

Pruposed Tunnels In New York.

New York, May 10.-Behind the pur-
chase of the Long Island railroad by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
there is, 1t is believed, plan for the
development of terminal facilities that
includes the construction OF tunnels
connecting not only this city with
Long Island, but with Jersey City, and,
perhaps, a tunnel connecting the Grand
Central station with the Long Island
railroad system.
The Pennsylvania Railroad COM

minal in Jersey with the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad sys-
tenn, and the Long Island railroad
system with that of the Pennsylvania

London, May 11.-From Boer sources

expressing indignation at the British

NEEDS OF NAVAL DEFENSE.
Danish West Indies Must Not Go
To a Foreign Power.
PROTECTION OF COAST CITIES.

Washington, May 14.-Senator
bill said: My reasons for desiring
more ships, and desiring them quickly,
is my belief that the safety of the
United States depends upon the
strength of our navy. Our Atlantic
coast is studded with cities, from the
Gulf to northern Maine. For the de-
Tense of this great coast line and these
cities we have no adequate fleet. We
are about to enter upon the construc-
ton of an isthmiaa canal. To control
that canal, to. defend it, to hold it open
for our commerce and for the COM
merce of the world even though it be
against an enemy's feet, we must be
the naval masters OF the Carl bbean sea.
The safety of the canal depends upon
our feet. All admit that the canal
ought to be built, and the time is near
when the work will be begun. If we
are to protect the canal as well as our
coast we must have navy proportion
ately strong.
Il hope and believe that We shall
have no war, but a great feet is the
greatest insurance of peace. However,
we would be foolish, indeed, if we
should close our eyes to the possible
ties of the situation. We could never
allow the Danish Islands to pass into
any other hands than ours. The Euro
pean nation which should undertake
to take possession of these islands,
right on the road to the canal, and
make of them great naval stations,
would by that very act become an
enemy of ours. We could submit to
no such thing as that. The Monroe
doctrine is a great protection to the
United States. Men of all parties,
Democrats, Republicans and Populists.

Urged Training And Preparation For
Defense in England.

Defense in England.
London, May 1.-THE annual grand
habitation of the Primrose League was
held in Albert Hall The spacious
building was gaily decorated and was
well filed. The Marquis of Salisbury
presided. Lord Salisbury. in the course
of his address commented on the re-
markable change which had taken
place in the latter half of the century
in the views of the people regarding
the empire. Under the brilliant guild
ance of Lord Roberts 200, 900 soldiers,
larger army than had ever before
been sent across the safe eXpanse of
sea, was now engaged in reducing to
obediency to the queen those territories
which ought never to have been re-
leased. and in restoring to South Africa
the only chance it had of peace, devel-
opment and tranquility,
Lord Salisbury then took up the Irish
question, saying that the accumulation
of arms in time of peace and the poten-
tial power of resistance in a discon-
tented province was too clearly illus
trated in the case of the Transvaal and
the Free State to be ignored in the case
of Ireland.
His references to the possibility of a
coalition Of the powers against England
were a little short of sensational He
warned his hearers that in this eventu-
atty the empire could trust no profess
siOns of friendship abroad but must be
prepared to stand or fall by her own
might. and he urged the formation of
rife clubs among all classes and the
training of every youth for the possible
defense Of the country against foreign
invasion.
