BRITISH DISSATISFIED.
Sir William Harcourt Attacks the Gov
ernment for It's Financial Policy.

NEW YORK. Aug. IA Tribune dis
patch from London says:
The war in South Africa Is clearly APP
preaching an end. Hunter has reported
that he viii have fully 1000 prisoners
among the hills south OF Bethlehem.
and that Oliver alone has succeeded in
breaking away toward Harrlsmith with
a thousand men. Forty thousand Brit
ish troops ought to be able TO catch
that commando with its five guns. The
Free State forces now consist Of two
columns Of 1000 men each under De Wet
and Olivier, several hundred miles
apart and enveloped with British
troops, and when these surrender the
Transvaal Beers will not have any
justification for holding out, especially
when the campaign has become one Of
intolerable suffering on both sides.
The Beers are fighting in rags and
barefoot and are suffering from hunger,
cold and every conceivable prlvatlon.
The British troops are also badly
clothed and fed, owing to the wretched
work Of the transportation service.
Sir William Harcourt made a speech
against the government yesterday in
the House Of Commons, and displayed
a semblance Of his old-tine fighting
form. He referred to the estimate Of
S1j.OOO,0OO for operations in China. and
intimated that the ultimate cost Of Brit
ish operations In that quarter might ex-
coed that in South Africa. He also as
suned that the war in South Africa
would cost fully 900, and COM
mented on the fact that consols. which
used to stand at 115. had gone below
par. He even ventured to predict that
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, II he were
borrowing, would emulate Mr.. Goshen's
achievement in sending them down to

This speech was the most effective at
tack which has yet been made on the
government. The war has not been
well financed. A tax Of penny a

more revenue than the new schedule OF
increased taxes imposed by Sir Michael

ALASKAN TELEGRAPH LINE.
General Greeley Now En- Route to su-
perintend Its Construction.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.--Brigadier- -Gener-
al Greeley, chief Of the United States
army signal corps, left Chicago for
Alaska last night.
He goes north not to discover the
pole, but to bind the frozen fields Of
the Yukon in the harness OF electricity.
Standing in the station last night he
took out a pencil and traced on a
map Of Alaska the route that viii be
followed in building the new cable and
telegraph lines.

said, 'necessitated by military condi-

I perfected arrangements with the Do
minion government. and already the
Canadian engineers are building their
line from Dawson in a northwesterly
direction to meet ours at the boundary.
The two governments have joined
hands to carry the wires through the
heart Of the northern wilderness.
ultimately It is proposed to complete
the circuit by constructing line from
Dawson on across country TO come
ont at our own port, Valdes. on the
southern coast Of the peninsula. The
conditions win eventually carry the
line up the Yukon and down into Brit
ish Columbia. Joining it with the wires

Four experienced signal officers are

NEW YORK. Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
An allegiance between Russia and the
United States for the settlement Of the
Chinese crisis is urged in lengthy ar
ticle in the Vovoe Vremya. This Jour
nal points out that just as the Franco
Russian Alliance neutralized the war
like menace Of the triple alliance, 80
would a rapprochement between the
Northern Empire and the United States
consolidate the peace Of Eastern Asia.
It adds:
"As in the case Of the Franco Rus
sian alliance, our rapprochement with
the United States has in fact been long
prepared by the mutual and long
standing sympathies between the two
nations, and it remains for diplomacy
to give shape and form to these SYM
pathies.'
The Vovoe Vremya points out that
the attitude taken by the United States
In Chinese matters meets the approval
Of Russia. Neither country seeks ven
geance but desires substantial and last
ing pacifcation Of China and the far
East.
Both nations" the journal says, "are
sufferers by the competition Of Chinese

News from China in the last "a hours

send an army TO Pekin and take the
risk Of having a massacre ordered be-
