COMMENTS OF NEWSPAPERS.

London, Eng, Sept. 24.-The after
noon newspapers which comment on the
American reply to the German note
attribute it to political exigencies. y
The Pail Mall Gazette says: at is a
shock to find the government at Wash
ingto1 taking up the position that the
question of the punishment of the
Chinese responsible for the outrage,
torture and murder of American citi-
Gems should be left to the initiative OF
the murderers themselves, for it ia i'm
possible to doubt that the responsible
authors are the imperial authorities. -
The Globe says: 1.-THE refusal must
have a misohievous effect at Pekin.
Much, however, as President McKin-
ley's attitude is to be deplored, il can
have no effect on the British govern
ment, which. of course, will continue
to insist that the punishment of the
proved mu derers shall be an indis
pens!able. condition preceding the nego.
tiations."
GERMAN COMMENT. o
Cologne, Germany, Sept. 24.-The
Kolrisohe Zeitung publishes an in
spired telegram from Berlin, in which
the Washington governments reply to
the German note is characterized as
q manifest effort 10 assist the Chinese
government to accept the proposals with
regard 10 the punishment of the leaders
in the Chinese trouble. The telegram
points out that, though the American
reply shows an induIgent disposition,
it must not be deduced therefrom that
the Washington government thinks the
United States trade and missionary
interests require less careful protection
than those of the other Powers, but
that this United States government is
compelled to be indulgent, owing to
the unfavorable effect upon the situa-
tion In the Philippines, caused by the
transfer OF troops from those islands to
China. e...G
As matter of fact, tho telegram
adds, a vigorous and exemplary punish
ment of the guilty counsellors Of the
Chinese court will be in accordance
with the interests of both American
trade and missionaries. For SETTLE
mont between the Powers and China,
1T makes no difference, however, asserts
the telegram, whether America CO.
operates any further or not. Forces
sufficient for all emergencies will
remain available TO secure the expiration
demanded by the civilized world.

upon the rock in the above illustra-
ton, which is reproduced from pho
tograph, takes long and sorrowful
look at the valley of the Conemaugh
and Stony creek and the beautiful
hills which surround the city as it
now stands. The rock is a little over
three fourths of the distance to the
top of Green Hill and about 100 yards
from the road which winds around
the hill leading to Daisy Town. There
is a pathway by which the laborers
and miners working for the Cambria
Steel company cut off considerable
distance in going to and from their
work, and it was by taking this path
way that Herman Schultz, who re-
sides in Daisy Town, happened to get
a good view of the ghost on the morn
ing of May 81, 1894. This was the
first time the spirit had been noticed,
and each year since that time

the stealthy approach of the foe, and
whose keen intelligence and inventive
skill have devised a great variety of
resources for thwartng the devices of
Cronje and his later opponents.
Like Cecil Rhodes, Col. Baden-Powell
was born in rectory. He is the son
of the late Prof. Baden-Powell, of Ok
fords and Langton manor, and was
born on February %, 1857. Educated
at Charterhouse, he joined the Thir-
teenth hussars in 1876, and, as adju-
tant, served with his regiment in In
dia and Afghanistan and in South Af-
rica Early in his military career he
became familiar with the parts of the
African continent with which his
name will hereafter be associated. In
1887 he was again at Cape Town as
assistant military secretary to Cen
Sir Henry Smyth. and during his two
years stay there he served in the Lu-
zuland operations and was mentioned
In the dispatches. After serving three
years at Malta he again returned to
Africa charged with the special serv-
ice of raising and commanding the
native levies in the Ashantee opera
tions.
For his brilliant work in this cam
paign he received the brevet rank OF
lieutenant colonel. After the Jane
son raid when the Matabeles rose
second time. he was chosen as chief
staff officer of Gen. Sir Frederick Car
rington. Promotion as bretet colonel
followed this campaign, and he was
placed in command of the Fifth
dragons. At the beginning OF the
Transvaal war he was selected to pro-
ceed to South Africa to raise mill
tary force on the spot and to drill 1t
into efficiency. That he succeeded in

Col. Robert Stephenson Smith
BADEN n-Powell, whose heroic and pic
turesque defense of Mafeking has been
no less remarkable than that of Sir
GEORGE White, at Ladysmith, is sea-
soned frontiersman. At the beginning
OF the Transvaal war. Col Baden-P Pow
ell undertook the defense with force
consisting of part of the First bat
talon of the Lancashire (Royal
north) regiment, the First battalion
Munster fusileers and 1000 colonials,
with one battery of artillery-in al
probably 1000 men.
The siege began on October Is, 1899,
and was led by Gen. Cronje in person
until he went to Kimberley to oppose
Methuen. Baden-Powell was bonn
barded almost daily. He made occa-
sional sorties, but his force was too
small and his weapons too ineffective
to make headway against the besieg-
ing force. Col. Plumer, who was sta
toned at Fort Tuli, in Rhodesia,
raised force of 1000 irregulars to go
to the relief of Mafeking. On January
26 reports came of the relief of the
town, and there have been similar re-
ports since.
Col. Baden-Powell says the New
York Tribune, is cavalry officer, who
joined the. hussars when he was 19,
and is now lieutenant colonel in
regiment of the Dragon guards. His
life has been spent in the army and in
special service and travel. and he is an
authority on cavalry tactics, having
written manuals on reconnaissance
work and scouting. He is a natural
leader of men, and rallied around him
