Specimens of Boer Journalism.

[From the Pail Mall Gazette.1
An Englishwoman writing to 'sThe
Cape Times from Barley West, by
way of showing the condition of things
untEr Boer rule, says:
ut is really most irritating being cut
off from news-I means news of the
progress of the campaign. The only
newspaper we ever have a chance of
reading (and that is only very OCCASION
ally) are the Boer organs, The Volks-
STEM The Standard and Diggers'
News and The Bloemfontein Express, ;
and the sameness of their reports of
the different engagements make one
very tired. Usually we read of the loss
on the Boer side of six, or at the most
ten, men, while the British never seem
to lose fewer than two thousand.
have noticed that there has not vet
been single fight in which the British
loss has been computed at less than
, two thousand, while at Modder River
and at Colenso we are told that the
British loss was on each occasion GER
tainly not fewer than five thousand men
"A this rate, when is the coronation of
Kruger to take place at Westminster
Abbey? These papers have annoyed me
so much that now I refuse to read them
at all. AS an Englishwoman, I need
not say how dreadful it is to read that
the British soldiers are half-hearted and
that they had to be fired upon by their
own officers to make them advance"

a Troop ship,s water supplv.

The ships ordinary supply would be
totally inadequate for the requirements
of, say, a thousand troops, besides
horses: but the difficulty is overcome
with the aid of a good condensing ap-
paratus. From the tanks into which the
water is condensed about twenty tons
and upward a day. extra iron pipes are
run to suitable positions on the differ
ent decks and draw off cocks are fixed.
Under the cocks for supplying the
horses tubs are placed into which the
water is run. In the soldiers quarters
small pipes are fixed and the supply
is taken from the spring cocks, the
amount allowed being usually six pints
a head a day, except when the vessel is
in the tropicsS when one gallon a head
is allowed. To provide against any
breakdown of the condenser, portable
iron tanks holding about 400 gallons
each, are placed in the lower holds and
filed. Lift pumps are then fixed fore
and aft on the main deck and the sue
ton pipe, from the pumps is taken
down close to these tanks and finished
with a union, onto which a rubber sue
ton hose is screwed, and led to each
tank as required. A rising main taken
from the pump is turned and run paral-
lei with the main supply, and finished
at the same points.-The Building

LOSS OF RUSSIAN TRADE
Due to Idleness of Home Manufac-
tories.

New York, March 7-According to
the statements of a gentleman repre-
senting the Russian government who
has just returned from a visit to st.
Petersburg, American manufacturers
must not look for the immediate receipt
of any large contracts for equipment
and material for the Transsiberian rail-
road.
The gentleman referred to, who is in
close touch with the officials of the
Muscovite government, said:
Prince HilkOff, the Russian minister
of ways and communications, and M
De White, the finance minister, are en-
tirely opposed at the moment to send
ing heavy contracts out of the country
This decision. has been arrived at in
view of the fact that several of the
large Russian manufacturing concerns
are shutting down through lack of
work. Orders for five thousand freight
cars for the Transsiber1an road were
being awarded just as 1 left the capital
to four Russian concerns that were on
the eve of SuSpending operations be-
cause of the dullness in trade. In fact,
these firms were actually in the hands
of receivers, owing to financial embar-
rassment. The cars are to be delivered
inside of one year. was told by one of
the principal engineers in the ministry
of ways and communications that the
Transsiberian road will require $4,000
cars in all. So that as contracts for five
thousand have been placed as above
stated 10000 more will be ordered.
Contracts for bridges estimated to
be worth some 100000 have just been
placed with Russian manufacturers.
: Such proceeding was actuated partly by
the minister's policy but it was also
found that while further fostering ma
tive Industries by awarding the con-
tracts to Russian bridge makers the
latter offered additional advantages, as
they undertook to deliver the material
by June, whereas the pest inducement
as to delivery that American bridge
manufacturers could make was com
pletiOn of the contracts by November
next"
AS to the prospect of orders for the
Chinese Eastern road the speaker who
acted last year as purchasing agent
for that system said:
Il expect to see a goodly number of
substantial orders emanate from Port
Arthur before long. know of three
Americans out there now and I feel as
sured that the result will be most pleas
ing to manufacturers in the United
States.'
Reverting to the prospects of pur-
chases abroad for the Transsiberian
road, he said:
las I mentioned before, the Russian
government is very reluctant at pres
ent to send heavy. contracts out OF the
country, but it would undoubtedly well
come an influx of foreign capital and
is prepared to offer many inducements
for the building of manufacturing
plants in many desirable localities
throughout Siberia and southern Rus

GROWLS AT JAPAN.
The Russian Bear Covets Japanese
Interests in Corea.


New York March IA dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Odessa
says:
Among the officers of the volunteer
fleet of cruisers who recently returned
belief that the enormous garrisons be-
ing formed at Port Arthur, Dalni and
VladivOstock will be utilized soon as a
coercive lever for compelling the Jap
anese to abandon their pretensions and
acquisitions in Korea
The commander of one of the cruisers
expresses his conviction that before the
end of this year Russian influence in
the far eastern peninsula will have be-
come so absolutely dominant that the
Japanese will feel morally constrained
to give up the struggle and retire from
the many important enterprises they
are now prosecuting in Korea and that
will open the way for the gradual as
sumption of a Russian protectorate.

THE WATERS RAGE.
Illinois Bottoms Flooded and Much
Property Destroyed.

st. Louis, Mo-, March lone human
life has been lost and an immense
amount of damage done in the last "A
hours by the floods throughout the
American bottoms and the territory
north of Alton, Ill.
In the eastern part of Madison county
the rise of all the small streams has
been sudden and has caught the farm
ers and property owners unawares.
Thousands of acres are tonight covered
with from one to six feet of water
The western part. of Madison county
has suffered greatest, however, for
Wood river had gone out of its banks
in a dozen places. The village of East
Alton, three miles from Alton, is partly
under water
The damage to orchards, wheat lands
and other property cannot be safely es-
timated until the water subsidies. The
cause for the sudden rise is explained
by the fact that the ground under the
snow was frozen, and that all the melt
ing snow and rain of the last few days
was forced into the waterways at one
time.

good record for landing criminals in

Hines and Mary Marshall, two of the
most notorious negroes in Topeka, to
the penitentiary for Is years. Both are
ex-jail- birds. The first served three
years for burglary. He was discharged
from the penitentiary last October and
in November stole a watch from Fred
Geyser, at 2O4 Taylor street. The chief
found the watch pawned in Kansas
City and secured description of the
man who pawned it. Che description
tailed exactly with Hines If he had
escaped the Jail sentence he received
he would have had to answer to this
charge. Among the other criminals sent
to the penitentiary by the police are
Dick Williams and James Reeder for
murder and Ben Hendricks for burg
larry Mike Summers and Red Smith
were arrested for horse-stealing and
sent to Nebraska and Iowa respectively
to answer to the charges.
