MAJUBA HILL.

AS Lord Roberts pointed out in his dis
patches. the surrender of General Cronje
falls on the anniversary of the battle OF
Hill, which decided the fate OF
the British in the Transvaal war of 1881.
The following are The chief facts OF that
day, so black in British history:
On the night of February 26 General
Sir George Colley and staff marched out
of camp to occupy Majuba Hill, over
looking the Boer position at Laing's Mex.
He had with him twenty officers and 1921
men of the 5Sth, 6Oth and 92d regiments
and the Naval Brigade. With great diff
Guilty they arrived at the top after a
climb of eight hours, too fatigued to in
trench themselves.
Although the Beers were alarmed to
see the H~ighlanders at dawn looking
down upon them from the heights of Ma
juba, nevertheless, 'lntler the direction
of their fighting general Nicholas
! Smidt, they went to the attack. The body
of their force with long n guns kept
the. summit nearest them clear, while
small bodies of active young men pushed
up the face of the hill. They were thus
protected by their own men n un-
harmed by the British on the heights
who dare not come out to beat them back
and whose bullets Whizzed harmlessly
over their heads.
This movement went on for hours, the
advance I'D the hill being unknown tt
the British on the summit. After a large
party Of Beers had collected just below
the brow of the hill, suddenly they show
ed themselves, overcame the pickets AMI
advanced to the attack. But taken of
their guard by the apparition of the be
siegers, the British were confused. waver
/. ed. fell Jack in a panic and soon were II
full fight down the side of the noun
tain, losing heavily from the enemy
bullets as they ran.
The rout was disastrously complete
Sir George Colley was killed, as we'll a
Captain Romilly, in command of tn
Naval Brigade. Seven other officer
shared their fate, and Is We're wOunde
or captured by the Beers. The total los
of all ranks was 800. besides SO unwound
ed men who surrendered to the victorie
of the enemy. This defeat ended, this
war, and Majuba Hill has ever since bee
a term of reproach in the annals OF til
British army.

London. March 16. 5 a. m.--Events are
moving in the South African campaign
in a speedy and satisfactory manner
from both the military and political
points of view. 1t could hardly have been
expected by the most sanguine English
men that they would take a turn SO favor
aable. ny
1t appears that when Major Weston
cut therailway north of Bloemfontein he
thereby intercepted General Joubert.
who. far from having retired from the
campaign, was then coming southwark
with 5000 men, presumably to superin-
tend the defense. Elaborate defense
works three miles long had been prepar-
ed outside the town. No Boer wounded
were left in Bloemfontein. When asked
the reason by Lord Roberts. 2Mr Frazer
replied: 9TH b%urghers do not like fish
and would not care to go to Capetown.
The evidence goes to show that so far
as the southern part of the Free State
is concerned, there will be no further re-
sistance 1t is understood that MI. Fra
ger, Mr.. Vessels and other leaders are
quite prepared to accept the position OF
a se~lf-governing British colony.
The cheers which greeted the reading
in parliament yesterday of the cores
pondence with the United States reached
throughout ~thecountry. The speech Of
M. Delcasse has increased this satisfac-
ton, and, taken with the general beief
that Emperor Nicholas is personally
averse to any intervention, these incl
dents spread the idea that there will be
no further serious attempt to interfere
from n quarter.
American newspaper. that the Beers
will sack Johannesburg and raze 1T to the
ground If necessary is not k very Sc
riously Mr.. Chamberlain's statement
that President Kruger has already been
warned as to the consequence of sucn
conduct is regarded as showing that suf-
ficient precaution a been taken. The
Times suggests that the burghers should
be warned that their farms would be
taxed as a guarantee against amp dam
age to British property, but no serious
approximations are entertained of such
conduct as Mr.. White is said to nave fore
Swallowed. ]. B. Robinson, the million
aire mine owner, says he does not believe
the Beers would be SO foolish.
BY lifetime Lord Roberts reaches the
Vaal river he will command some 49,
600 men, while General Butler will have
40, 900. From the military point of view
| the critics now think there is nothing to
fear.

POWERFUL APPEAL

From the Armenian Revolution
Federation to Mr. Mckinley.
BOSTON. December 25.-At a con-
vention of representatives of the Ar
menian Evolution Federation, the fol-
lowing resolution. which was tele-
graphed to President Mckinley, was
adopted:
BOSTON. December %, 1900-To His
Excellency. William Mckinley. Pres
ident of the United States, Washing
ton, D. c..
The committees of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation OF this coun-
try. in their annual convention assem-
bled in Boston, unanimously congrat-
ulate you upon your reelection to
the presidency of the United States and
invite Your ExceIlency's kind attention
to the ~deplorabIe condition in which
our people in Armenia are perishing
and will o be exterminated If a
powerful hand does not come to the
rescue of such a nation, which has
been the champion of civilization for
centuries in Asia Minor.
In the present complicated situation
Of European diplomacy the United
States is the only nation that has been
unselfish and Neutral in oriental af-
fairs, and yet a friend for suffering
races: the only nation who can ter
rorize the great assassin and his blood
thirsty fanatics to save the remainder
of their victims from imminent blood
shed.
Our fathers and brothers gave their
lives for the sake Of country and
We are all ready to fall in their places
but in this utmost struggle have we
not the right to expect assistance from
this great republic which founded its
existence upon revolution and which
has the inheritance of liberty from
Washington and Lincoln.
Please accept our sincere wishes and
assurance of our highest regards.

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY
Have Been Sent to Our soldiers In
the Philippine Islands by
the Government

Fifty tons Of candy have been
sent to the soldiers in the Philip
nine Islands by the commissary de-
nsrtment of the army during the
last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in CUBA
and Porto Rico.
This is done upon the advice of
the medical officers of the army,
because it is a physiological fact
that a moderate consumption or
confectionery promotes health and
satisfies a natural craving OF the
stomach.
Candy was never furnished to
the United States army before, al
though it has been commonly USED
as a ration by the French and Brit
ish troops in the tropics.
This explodes another old-fa5h-
toned theory that sweets were in
furious to the digestive organs,
while a moderate use of sweets is
actually beneficial.
Very few things are injurious,
and the food cranks who advocate
the use of a few grains and vege-
tables and decry the use of sweets
and meats are in error, as a whole
some variety Of meat and vegetable
food is absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the highest condi-
ton Of health.
The best rule to follow is to eat
what the appetite Graves, and il
there is any discomfort or trouble
in digesting meat and sweets, the
difficulty can be readily overcome
by the regular use after meals Of
some safe digestive composed Of
pepsin and diastase. which will as
sist the stomach by increasing the
flow of gastric juice and furnish
the natural peptone lacking in
weak stomachs.
The best preparation of this kind
is probably Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at all
drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated
the value and effectiveness Of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases
of impaired digestion.

NEW YORK, December PA dis
patch to the World from London says:
London is luxuriating in a foggy
damp and miserable Christmas. New
ertheless, not for many years has
Christmas business of all kinds bean
so brisk or expenditure so lavish
among the w~ell-to-do classes, despite
the war and the heavy taxation, indi-
eating that the wave OF industrial pros
perity is still mounting.
Queen Victoria has a large family
gathering at Osborne. including many
of her great grandchildren. The queen
has not benefited materially by the
change in the mild air of the Isle of
Wight, and she only takes one short
drive before lunch each day in a closed
carriage.
At windsor Castle there has just
been carried out the three-centuries-old
custom of roasting a ~2OO-pound baron
of beef from one of the Queens prime
steers. It takes ten or twelve hours
to cook the beef, before a huge fire,
consuming half a ton of coal. Fifty
bundles of fre-wood and 200 huge bill
let's Of dried wood. The baron Of beef
was taken to Osborne, to be placed on
the Queens %sideboard, with the royal
monogram and an Xmas motto artist
cally executed upon it in shred horse
radish.
The Queen touches the monster joint
before Christmas day luncheon with a
knife, ard then it is cut by the chief
butler, and all the household, from the
royal guests down to the scullions,
have luncheon off it.
The Prince of Wales has a family
party at Sandringham, but he returned
to London on Wednesday, as Xmas
festivities bore him.
Lord Salisbury has his family round
him at Hatfield House, including the
First Lord of the Treasury, Arthur Bal
four; the President Of the Board of
Trade, Gerald Balfour; First Lord Of
the Admiralty Selborne, and Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs Gran
borne.
Thus the premier makes good the
joke at his expense by Lord R~osebery,
who said that he country could feel
assured, if any crisis arose in Christ
mastide, the effective section of the
ministry would all have their legs I'M
der the same mahogany at Hatfield.
