The Reported Recrossing of the River
RecOnnafssance by Dundon.Id,.
Cavairy.-A Possible British Conscrip-
ton.
London, Feb. 2.-2:37 p. m-Public
anxiety is again concentrated on the
Upper Tugela. There is no official
news from General Buffers headquar-
tiers, and the only informa ton which
has reached London in any way sup
porting the reports that he has recross-
ed The Tugela river. is found in the
dispatch announcing Lord Dundonald's
reconnaissance which was taken to indi-
cate prelude to renewed activity. This
took place three days ago. Lord Dun
donald found no difficulty in crossing
the river, and General Butler may have
moved in the interval.
Dispatches from elsewhere in South
Africa merely tell of desultory shell fir
Ing and the movements of patrols,
though Cape Town mentions rumor
that General French has captured eight
hundred Beers, where and when not be-
ing announced.
POSSIBLE BRITISH CONSUMPTION
London, Feb. 2,-Rumors are current
that the militia ballot act will be put
in force on February IA, and that Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, the commander
in-chief of the British forces in South
Africa, has cabled for 10000 additional
men, which the government has prom
Used to give him, sending $4,000 militia

teers will be modified forthwith, and
that the cabinet has specially death
with these matters.
The militia ballot act makes every I'M
married man between eighteen and
thirty years Of age liable to serve for
five years.

PARLIAMENT AND THE WAR

London, Feb. I'm the house of
commons to-day the under secretary of
state for foreign affairs, William st.
John Brodrick, replying to question,
confirmed the accuracy of the state
ment of Count Won Bulow, the German
minister of foreign affairs, in the reich
stag, as to the British engagement re-
garding seaching vessels He explain
ed that the government undertook that
there should be no search at Alden, or
at points more distant from the seat
of war, because there was nothing to
prevent the shipping of cOntraband
from intervening ports. The govern
ment, he added, had not surrendered
any right, but on the representations of
the German government, and assur-'
ances of the main steamer company,
Great Britain had agreed, pending
further arrangement, not to arrest
mail-ships, except on the gravest sus-
picions
Mr.. Brodrick also declared the gov
eminent had no knowledge Of any
communication, having passed between
the Netherlands and other govern
ments with reference to the war, or of
the mutual relations of the European
powers with respect to the war.
Attempts made to show a connection
of Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary
Of state for the colonies, with the Jane
son raid did not meet with much sue
cess
Mr. Chamberlain, being asked as to
the letter sent by B. r. Hawkesley,
counsel for the British South Africa
company, to Earl Grey, formerly Brit
ish administrator of Mashonaland,
under date OF February TO-. 1887, in
which he said that Mr.. Chamberlain
would have no one but himself to
blame II the cable dispatches referring
to the negotiations of 1895 were pro-
duced before the parliamentary COM
lnittee Of inquiry, replied that they were
communications between third parties,
and he had no knowledge of them at
the time they were exchanged. He as
sumel that the cable dispatches were
those which Mr. Hawkesley had de-
clined to produce The cable mes
sages were sent to him in 1896 for con-
1dent,al perusal and he returned them
With letter saying there would be no
personal objection to their publication.

WOULDN'T TALK ALL NIGHT.
How Congressman LittIefieId Made a Hit With
an Audience.

an AuuienCc.
One of the really good stories is 60
ing around among the lawyers about
Congressman Li,tlefield of Maine. 1t
was when the congressman was stump.
ing in his campaign. 1t was up in a
Franklin county town. The chair
man Of the committee wanted to give
Charles good send-off, and SO he said
"Ladies and Gentlemen: This is
Charles z. Littlefeld, who is known
from Eastport to York as the one
great orator of Maine. This, fellow
citizens, is Charles Littlefeld, who
will talk to you from the setting of the
sun until the rising up thereof"
Applausel
Then up rises Charles and darts a
falcon glance at the chairman and an
other rs piercing at the audience.
"Gentlemen," said he, "you and
the chairman can stay here in this
hall if you want to until the rising OF
the sun, but as for myself I'll tell you
right now I'm going to be out OF this
hall in just fifty minutes"
And the applause that he got then
was in earnest.

Capital and Labor.

The result of the absorption of labor
by capital is being painfully illustrated
in British India. Millions upon mil
lions are starving, though there is
plenty of food products in the grana-
ries of the spectators. The starving
people have no money, but they are
permitted to earn a little breaking
rocks and performing other arduous
labor for the Identification of public
roads and public property. These are
the wages they receive:
An able bodied man. -. 81 cents per day
Women. l-2 cents per day
children. ................2 cents per day
No work no pay, and no money no
grain. What becomes of those who
cannot work can only be imagined.
A clergyman says that a beautiful,
shapely girl-child can be bought for
thirty cents, and an English CORE
spondent of the London Chronicle
complains that these people Glove to
handle money and even try to lay by
on-fourth of cent of their daily wage

Modest Jefferson he had been
! Governor, Ambassador to France, Vice
President and President; he was ripe
III experience and crowned with hon
ors; but this modern lawgiver, this
immortal genius, hesitated to suggest
laws for people with whose habits,
customs and methods of thought he
was unfamiliar. And yet the imper-
ialists of to-day, intoxicated by Il taste
OF blood, are rash enough to enter
upon the government of the Filipinos
| confident Of the nations ability to
| compel obedience, even il it cannot
earn gratitude or win affection. Plu-
tarch said that men entertained three
sentiments concerning the ancient
| gods: They feared them for their
strength, admired them for their wis
dom, and loved them for their justice,
Jefferson taught the doctrine that
governments should win the love of
men. What shall be the ambition of
our nation, to be loved because it is
just or to be feared because it is strong?
In his annual message sent to Con-
gress December 5, 1898, the President
makes the following recommendations
in favor OF permanent increase in
the standing army:
"The Importance OF legislation for
the permanent increase of the army is
therefore manifest and the recommen.
dation of the Secretary of War for
that purpose has my unqualified ap-
proval. There can be no question
that at this time and probably for
some time in the future, one hundred
thousand men will be none too many
to meet the necessities OF the situa-
tion."
1t is strange that this request for so
large an increase in the permanent
army should be asked OF peace-lov-
ing people just at the time when the
Car of Russia is urging the nations OF
the world to join in the reduction OF
military establishments. But strange
as it may seem, the President not only
requests it, but the Republican leaders
in Congress seem inclined to grant the
request.
Progress in Europe; retrogression in
the United States!
In the old world "the currents OF
destiny seem to be running in the di-
rection of relief to the people from
military burdens; shall they run in
| an opposite direction here?

the tail shrivels, the legs make an ap-
pearance, the head separates from the
body and the tadpole becomes 4 frog.
All this every school child knows.
The youngster is very voracious and
eats all sorts OF animal food. At this
stage frog culturists have always fed
him with raw meat, liver, heart and
other waste material of animal car
casses chopped very fine. He grows
rapidly until he is six months old and
then invariably sickens and, in ma
jority OF cases, dies. The trouble
probably rests in the diet. Frogs, as a
rule, live on insects. They prefer
them alive, but when hungry will eat
them even when dead. When it has
been possible to feed them on flies
they have always prospered. But,
needless to say, it is practical impos-
sibility to furnish enough flies and
other live insects to supply the de-
mands OF their nimble tongues and
voracious appetites, and therefore the
frog farmer is compelled to use meat
as food. The result is death, to such
an extent as to make all frog culture a
financial failure. Experience has
shown that out of 100 artifcially
raised from sixty to ninety-fve die
when they are six months old.
Thore have been many attempts at
raising frogs for the market and many
are going on to-day Thus far none
has been altogether successful. Seth

When, later in the year, the Ontario
legs are received the domestic article
falls to 20 cents and the Ontario and
western batrachians bring from 40 to
GO cents a pound. In Ontario the
frog business is conducted on a large
scale. The French-Canadians inheri,
their talent in this field from their an.

more rapidly than the supply.
