THE AFRICAN WAR.
Roberts Scares British Oiiicers-Devel-
opmentS of the Conflict.

The sensation of last week in The South
African situation was the Censrre of Butler,
Warren and Thorneycroft by Lord Rob
erts for their actions regarding the
battle of Spion Kop. The War Office
published a dispatch from Lord Roberts,
dispatches describing the Spion kop and
other operations from Jan. II TO Jan. "a.
After sketching Gen. Buffers intentions,
as communicated 10 Sir Charles Warren,
who commanded the whole force, Lord
Roberts points out that Gen. Warren seems
to have concluded. after consultation with
his officers, that the fanking movement
ordered by Gen. Butler was impracticable.
and, therefore, so changed the plan OF
advance as to necessitate the capture and
retention of Spion Kop Lord Roberts
continues:
"As Warren considered it impossible 10
make the wide flanking movement which
was recommended, if not actually pre-
scribed in the secret Instructions, he
should. forthwith. have acquainted Butler
with the course he proposed TO adopt
There is nothing to show whether he
ren to point out that Butler appears
throughout to have been aware of what
was happening"
Regarding the withdrawal fpem Spion
Kop, the retention of which had become
essential to the relief of Ladysmith, Lord
hODertS says:
II regret to be unable to concur with
Butler in thinking Thorneycroft exercised
wise discretion in ordering the troops to
retire. | am of the opinion that Thorney-
croft's assumption of responsibility and
authority was wholly ineXcusable. Dur
ing the night the enemy's fire could not
haye been formidable, and it would not
have taken more than two or three hours
for T'hornevcroft to Communicate by mes
senger with Mai-Gen. Coke. or Warren.
Coke appears to have left Spion kop at
$50 p. m. for the purpose Of consulting
with Warren. Up to that hour the idea
of withdrawal had not been entertained.
Yet, almost Immediately after Coke's de
paftlre Thorneycroft issued the order.
without reference to superior authority,
which upset the whole plan Of operations
and rendered unavailing the sacrifices
already made to carry it into effect.
On the other hand, it is only right to
state that Thorneycroft appears to have
behaved in n very gallant manner through
out the day.
1T is to be regretted that Warren did
not himself visit the Spion Kop in the
afternoon or evening, knowing as he d d
that the state Of affairs was very critical.
ana that the loss Of the position would
involve the failure of the operations.
The attempt 10 relieve Ladysmith was
well devised, and l agree with Butler in

A Curious CryDt.

The ancient parish church Of st. Leonard
Hythe, Kent, is known far and wide for its
remarkable crypt. On either side, as you
enter, some 600 skulls are arranged on
shelves. while stacked on the floor there is a
large pile of bones some - feet high and
G15 feet wide. 1t is calculated that there
are the remains here OF nearly 1000 people.
a few years ago an examination of the
remains was made By the late Sir B. W.
Richardson, and in letter to the Rev. T. G..
Hall he says: 1T seemed 10 me that the
skulls were very various, some being of
Roman type, some Saxon, some Celtic and
one or two Laps. can form no theory how
they came to Hythe. but | think it not un-
reasonable that they wore collected after a
battle or from battlefeld."

The picture given above is the handsome
gentleman who is at present the diplomatic
representative at Washington Of Abdul
Hamid, the Sultan Of Turkey. He and Mr.
Hay have been playing the game Of fox and
geese about the payment Of some 500, 600
by the Turkish Government in recompense
for the missionary buildings burned at
Smyrna during the Armenian outrapes
some four or five years ago. Personally
the Minister claims TO know nothing about
the matter, since the original negotiations
Were conducted between Nr. Oscar Strauss,
American Minister at Constantinople. and
the Sublime Porte. He makes light of the
claim, however, and in a recent statement
given out to the press ventures the opinion
that, after, all the destruction Of the missions
may have been the result of personal diff
Guilty between certain Christians and Turks,
responsible, but for which it would willingly
punish its offending subjects if the male
factors could be caught
All this tergiversation however does not
make much impression upon people who
understand the Oriental character and ap-
preclate its entire want Of frankness and
fair dealing, except in the presence of su-
perior and imminent force.
The Bey is handsome fellow, and, of
course, Mahometan. He does not want
to have relations broken off between this
country and Turkey, because he is not
ready to go home; in point of fact, it is under
stood that he has only recently made ar
rangements for bringing out his three
wives, and expected this Spring to establish
his harem at Chevy Chase one of the
orfstocratic suburbs Of Washington.

Prize Corn Crop.

There are corn crops and corn crops.
1t is possible for two men to raise each
100 bushels of corn to the acre and yet
have one man raise twice at much corn
to the acre as the other. This appears
paradoxical, but it is easily explain
ed. One man may plant his corn at
such late day that it will become only
we'll glazed at the time it has to be
gathered for exhibition; while the other
man may plant his corn early and thus
give it time to thoroughly mature be-
fore it must be gathered. Corn gather
ed just after the roasting ear period is
very heavy, and will at that time some
times weigh double what it will when
it has been well dried. This is the se-
cret of some of the enormous yields of
corn recently reported. The figures
that claim yields per acre we'll up to the
20O-bushel mark are based on weighed
and not measured bushels. Inspect
that same prize corn few months after
1T has been gathered and it will be
found looking very shaky. Every ker-
mel will be found standing by itself and
with an abundance of room between il
and its neighbors. Really such prize
corn does not fill the requirements, OF
should not. The water content of corr
should be taken into consideration, anG
we are not sure that 1t would not be {
good idea to have each sample entered
analyzed for its water content, and thli
analysis be taken into consideration
when making the awards.-Farmera

A Hubbub IN Iowa.

The state of Iowa has been victim.
lied by certain irresponsible building
and loan societies and imitation life in
surance associations to such an extraor-
dinary extent that the attorney general
has recently found it necessary to in
weigh with unusual, and seemingly de-
seri ed, bitterness against the whole
brood, and to recommend legislative
action looking to their better control.
His observations appear to be remark
ably accurate for one in his position,
political incumbents as rule being
neither we'll versed in the true status of
such organizations and the injury they
intlict nor in the needed methods for
their betterment.
The cry, of course, is at once raised
that he is discriminating against home
industry and that the various fake in
stitutions that he denounces, being
Iowa born and bred, must be let alone.
AS matter of fact, the state is the
home of at least one standard life or
ganization, small, but managed upon
the correct and safe principle of gen
uine insurance, which does not come
within the purview of his attack at all.
But the horde of make-Delieve life in
surance concerns that have been started
IN that state, as elsewhere, in order to
show people that old, legal and conserv-
ative ideas are all wrong and that two
and two can easily make five, as we'll as
the crowd of badly organized and
worse conducted building and loan
associations, are up in arms against
this speaking attorney general.
| There appears, however, to bea good
chance that their attention may be d.
verted elsewhere, as some of their vic
tins have caused a resolution to be in.
troduced in the legislature calling upon
the governor of state, the state treasur-
or and auditor and other otficisls to in.
form that body what, il any, connec
tion they have had with local insur anct
or building and loan associations, anc
generally why the concerns in question
are not better managed. 1t is claimed
in this proposed resolution that man,
of the state officials are directl,
or indirectly interested in some of tn
; poorest of the associations. Intention
al wrongdoing.. is not alleged, but 81
inability to know the genuine from tn
spurious is strongly intimsted. Prot
ably the resolution will be tabled, bu
its introduction has done no harm
while the pungent recommendations o
the attorney general that the Who'll
business be looked into and the stat
| guarded 80 far as may be possibl
against a continuance Of th
evils seem to be still in orde
Worthless building and loan societie
and imitation life insurance associs
tions do not necessarily call for COZ

The manager of the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage company, Mr.. Vose,
has gray horse which knows as much
as any animal in the city, says the
Portland Press, not excepting the fire
department horses, as his owner thinks.
The company stables its horses on Fore
street, and Mr.. Vose's horse is also
kept there. To do away with the ne
cessity of hiring man to g to the
stable at four o'clock every morning to
feed these horses an ingenious device
was arranged which answered every
purpose until the arrival of the gray
horse. The device consisted of two
alarm clocks which were set to go off at
four o'clock. A heavy weight was SO
arranged that when the alarm started
the weight would drop and pull wire
which opened the trap doors and the
feed then came tumbling into the man
gers Of the horses.
After the arrival of the gray horse it
was noticed that all of the horses be-
came very hungry long before noon
each day. This could not be accounted
for until some one stood watch to see
what Was the occasion for the state of
affairs. The watcher soon learned.
After the horses were fed at night and
had eaten all that was given them, the
gray horse reached up and, taking the
wire in his mouth, pulled upon it. Down
came into the managers the feed that
was intended to fall at four o'clock. OF
course the horses proceeded to eat at
once, and before noon were very hun
CRY. A man now feeds the horses at
four o'clock, and the gray horse pulls
the wire in vain.
