THE OUTLOOK IN
CONGRESS,
Adjournment Will Not he Later
Than Juno I5.

" "ohihSVOh "bJ o'-1eOu-
tine business will probably oc-
cupy the greater part of the
Senate's session during the
week. The resolution offered
by Senator Teller expressing
sympathy for the Beers and a
desire that the Government ex-
tend to both Great Britain and
the South African Republics its
friendly Offices in bringing the
present war to a close will be
called up tomorrow. It's the in
tention of the Colorado senator
to press his resolution to an
early vote. 1t will probably be
referred to the committee on for
eign relations, but Senator Tel
Ter will insist that it be report
ed in some form at an early
date.
Senator Hale, either tomor-
row for Tuesday, will bring for
ward the naval appropriation
bill and very likely the greater
part of the week will be devoted
to it's discussion. With the lat
itude Of debate allowed under
the senate rules it is probable
that senators will discuss the
Boer resolution and the Phil
ippine question and other mat
ters relating to the foreign af-
fairs Of the government, while
the naval bill is under consid-
Grafton.
On Thursday the Montana SEN
atorial case will be called up, but
it will not be allowed to interfere
with the consideration of the
bills. 1t is the un-
doubted purpose of the senate
leaders 10 bring about all ad-
journment early in June, the
first week if possible, and unless
the unexpected should happen
nothing will be permitted to
delay adjournment beyond the
OF June.
The attention Of the house
this week will be occupied with
various miscellaneous matters,
except such time as may be de-
voted to the consideration of
reports on appropri-
alton bills, which will be given
the right of way. The desire
for an adjournment early in
June makes it ABSOLUTELY neces-
sary to expedite the supply bills.
The most important piece of
general Legislation to be acted
upon during the week will be
the amended Senate bill to
amend the general pension laws.
This bill was amended at the
request Of prominent G.. r. P.
R. officials, and it is known as
tee G. A. r. bill. The prin-
cipal changes it proposes in
law are provisions for
disabilities and
ratings and to increase
the limit of income of wild
ows pensiOnable under the Act
Of 1890 to $3.50. This bill will
be placed upon it's passage to
morrow under suspension of the
rules. The bill appropriating
{ 100000 for the militia of the
several States also may be called
up under suspension of the rules.
Tuesday, under an order Friday,
will be given to the committee on
and next Friday TO war
claims. 1t is not improbable
that the contested election case
Of Pearson versus Crawford from
the 9th North Carolina district
may be called up on Wednesday
DR. Thursday.

HIS LIFE.
When first Christian De Wet 1eaped
into prominence in the South African
campaign, it was currently reported tina,
he had lived for some time in England
and had, moreover, taken his degree at
Cambridge University. In connection
with the famous Boer leader such re-
port was, however, erroneous to the

is not only himself totally devoid of
culture, but he loathes learning as the
badge of British servitude.
There is q. Christian De Wet who took
his B.sA. at Cambridge, but he is a much
younger man, and a member of total
ly different family.
The real Christian De Wet was born
on farm near the township of De-
wetsdorp, in the Orange River Colony
then the Orange Free State-somewhat
over forty years ago. The family of
De Wet is well known throughout that
district, and the township OF Dewets-
dorp took it's name from the generals
father.
The boy, Christian De wet, received
but few months schooling. and then
went to work at once. AS he grew up
he proved himself q good and eminently
practical farmer and shrewd man OF
business. Under his efforts the farm
prospered well. and yielded comfort
able income. Though he always main
tanned his Unborn hatred of the Uitland-
ers and Uitlander ways, he did not car

400 pigs from Rloemfontein to the mar

This peaceful life on the farm was con-
tinued until the outbreaksof war between
Great Britain and the Transvaal in 1880.
Then the chance of striking q blow at
the syerdomde Engelschman' led him
to TEN norariIy abandon his farm life
He formed one OF the many Free Staters
who deffed their Presidents deciara tion
of neutrality, and went OFF to fight side
by side with the Transvaalers IN their.

struggle. He served under Joubert
throughout that conflict, and took par
in all the battles in Natal.
HIS FIRST FIGHT.
He was at Laing's Mex, the Ingogo
River, and Majuba. At Majuba he was
one of the half hundred burGhers from
the Free State who volunteered to storm
the hill; and the uniform OF a High
lander, who was shot by him on that &C.
casion, Is to this day among the boer
generals trophies of the battle.
Al the conclusion of the war after
neace was proclaimed. De Wet returned
to his farm and settled down afresh TO
his old humdrum life. Shortly after
wards he married and though hlmseii
a member OF the Dutch Reformed
Church, he chose his wife from Dop-
per family. one OF those stern. hard, un-
compromising adherents OF the old
Dutch faith, opposed to every and any
change OF reform. He has had several
children, the Oldest being son. now
about eighteen years of age, who mas

the general himself knows any, which
is not unlikely, he is most careful to
conceal the fact.
Some years back, De Wet became
