The press of the country has spoken
in the very highest. terms of Mr.. Phelps's
services to his country. They find
nothing in his public career but that
which calls for praise. OF his character
as a man, perhaps the words of Timothy
Dwight, former president of Yale uni
versity and almost lifelong intimate of
the deceased, most fittingly express his
worth. He said:

Washington Special to \. Y. World, IL
A resolution of sympathy for the Beers
will likely pass the senate within the
coming week. Senator Mason exploded
a bombshell in the ranks of the pro-
English senators today when he an
nounced that on tomorrow morning he
would move to discharge the committee
on foreign relations from the further
consideration of his resolution express
ing sympathy for the struggling South
African republics. 1t was unexpected
and created CONSERVATION among the
friends of Great Britain. Senator Mason
discaimed any intention of being dis
courteous to the committee. He said
II am convinced that majority of
this senate are DESTROYS of expressing
the sympathy of the American people
for these patriots.

This resolution was introduced three

mittee. Today, Immediately after the

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.

The entrance of the British troops into
Bloemfontein on Tuesday of this week
could not have been. surprise to any
one who has watched the trend of events
in South Africa. The Beers have never
intended to hold that city. as it is wholly
unsuited to defensive operations. From
the beginning of the war II has been the
object Of the republics first to keep the
British occupied without the confines of
the Free State and Transvaal, and then if
they succeeded in entering the former,
merely to harrass and delay the m 10
their forward progres- toward Pretoria.
The latter city Is tie crux of the whole
situation. Its defense has been the study
of the Beers for years past, and 1t Is
said to be prepared to withstand siege
of almost any duration likely to be at
tempted by the British. Unless the lat
ter can prevent the ultimate concentra.
ton of the Boer troops and guns at Pre-
toria, the end of the war is a long way
off. For it Is not conceivable that the
Beers will seek peace after the curt re-
fusal of the British government to con-
slider any proposals base ed upon the in
dependence of the little republics. Stories
of differences among the Boer leaders
will not bear scrutiny. They would
not allow any personal differences to
eopardze their independence, and that
is what it would mean. A New York
paper republishes cablegram direct
from President Kruger announcing that
no such differences existed and that the
war would 60 on.
A possible end TO the situation in
South Africa is found in the persistent
rumors of dangerous friction between
France and England The mobilization
of the British fleet, the calling out by
the queen of the old reserves, the request
to the colonies of England to report their
full fighting strength, the feverish haste
to equip more troops and secure more
war material, in the face of British sue
cesses in South Africa-all these point
!
come from Boer sources.
While France, Germany and Russis
are reported unofiicially as declining tC
interfere in behalf of the Boer republics
they certainly have given no assurance
that they will not seize the present oc
casion to call for the settlement of diff
ferences they long have held with Eng
land. In such event the same end would
be attained for the Beers. England
could not keep her great army in Soutl
Africa and at the same time carry on {
war with any of the first-class powers.
Altogether, the situation for the brav,
little republics is not halt so bad as sur
face indications would imply; and unles
all signs fail Joseph Chamberlain may
find himself in the rather unenvabl,
position of having touched of the pow
der train that set the whole of Europe

made to them regarding Americans very

believe that resistance to our rule was the

The only representations" made to
the Filipino people which "aroused
them" were those contained in President
Mckinley's "benevolent assimilation"

them that they were not to have freedom

they refused. Gen. Otis fOresaw the bad
effects of this proclamation and tried to

another general was too quick for him
and sent the fire brand broadcast. The
war was natural result. And, by the
way, if these people are "inteligent,

Wheeler testifies, why are we depriving
them of the "unalienable right" to life,

THE DEATH OF Hon. E. j. PHELPS.


The announcement in Saturday morn
ing's papers of the death in New Haven,
Conn, of the Hon. f. j. Phelps was
read with deep regret by the people of
Mddlebury, the town of his nativity.
While the end had been expected at any
time for some weeks, only its actual
presence could bring a realization of the
loss to town and state and country of
one who had in life filled so large a
place. Although Mr.. Phelps had not
made his home in Middlebury since his
early years, he was not an infrequent
visitor during the summer months, and
often drove about the country revisiting
the places which he knew well as boy.
His love of outdoor life and the beauties
of nature attracted him to our mountain
resorts, and he was a frequent guest at
Bread Loaf Inn.
As graduate of Middlebury college,
he retained his interest in all that per.
tanned to that institution, and expected
to be present on the occasion of the
centennial exercises now but few
