IN SOUTH AFRICA.

LONDON, Dec. 20.--It is reported
here that Gen. Knox has been forced
to abandon the pursuit Of Gen. DeWet
owing to the situation created in Cape
COLONY by the Beers crossing the Or
ange River. 1t is said 5000 Beers have
entered Cape Colony and consider
able number have reached Philips
town. The report adds that DeWet,
with about $500 men, is northeast of
Ladybrand and an attack on Winburg
is momentarily expected.
The war office last evening could give
no information regarding the reports of
q Boer invasion of Cape Colony. The
officials expressed the opinion, how
ever, that the newspaper accounts
we're exaggerated and that probably
the troops who have been employed in
chasing Gen. DeWet will be diverted
to deal with the invaders. Having re-
gard to the customary methods of the
war office, this can only be interpreted
as confirming the reports.
According to the private kilograms
received by the Daily Mail tie situa-
ton in Cape Colony ia depicted as
somewhat ominous. 1t seems that the

able assistance from the local Dutch
and that the troops at the disposal of
the British authorities are not sufficient
to cope with any serious spread of the
military operations. 1t is believed that
the government has at last awakened
to the seriousness of the situation and
is making the utmost efforts to provide
Lord Kitchener with horses and mules.
JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 20.-Heavy
cannonading was heard yesterday north
of Krugersdorp near Magaliesberg, on
the mountains northwest of here. 1t
is believed that Clements has again
engaged DeWet, who so severely de-
feated him there December 10, Glenn
ents is being strongly reinforced. The
Beers are very active between here and
| Pretoria.
CAPE Town, Dec. 20.-The Beers
have occupied Colesburg, twenty miles
south of the Orange River. The Boer
invasion is spreading east and west in
the northern part of the colony. The
inhabitants are greatly disturbed.

HEAVY TRUCKING.

Fifty-Horse Teams Are Put

"The passing of great 30, 40, 80

man engaged in the business of heavy

Sun, Interests everybody that sees
It; no doubt people would all be
interested just the same in the pre-
hminary handling of the big spool,
including the loading of it on the

all that part of the work being done
on just the same broad and lofty
scale.
"The cable comes from Trenton.
At the mill the great reel of wire,

a crane onto a car expressly built to

SLAVERY IN SIBERIA.
Poor People Are Accustomed to Sell
Their Young Children Into
Bondage.

In the district of Yakutsk, in ST.
IBERIA, the sale of young children is
not only a custom of old standing,
but has become kind of recognized
industry. The price of child varies
from ten to 10 rubles The pur-
ehasers of these living wares" are
usually Russian eXiles and govern
ment officials. The sellers are the ma
tive Siberians. 1t very frequently
happens that the banished conviots
buy their own illegitimate offspring
from the native mothers. The custom
of selling children among the Yakuts
has not improbably arisen and been
fostered by the stress of poverty. In
the northern part of that region the
lage 10 impossible. There are no
home industries and the coasts are
too far distant for fishing operations.
The only occupation is the chase of
furred game and that is alike meager
and Improbable. The Yakut sells his
children to preserve his miserable
homestead and feed his famished cat
NV hS pfelciS W Sci his OhsDtlHH
TO Russian buyers, but usually he has
no scruples as TO the personality of
the purchaser so long as the money is
forthcoming.
The usual object of the buyer is to
have the benefit of the child's labor
until it comes of age. Until they
reach the age of FL years these young
people, male and female, are the alb
solute slaves of the buyers. Girls are
sometimes married by their owners
before they come of age, but those
are the exceptional cases. More free
quently they are made to serve the
vile purposes of their masters, 1t is
said that the Russians themselves
have to certain degree adopted the
detestable practice of selling their
children. In these cases the sellers
are convict exiles and the buyers gov
eminent officials.
