was still spent abroad and 1t was while
the family party was en- route from the
Riviera to London, where lived Mrs.
Arthur Herbert, an elder sister of Har-
riet, that Mrs. Gammell died suddenly of
heart disease. Mrs. Gammell had been
unable to detect the slightest tightening
of the burden of sorrow on her daugh-
ter's heart, and that she thought Harriet
would never marry is proved by the fact
that her will gave her possession Of the
handsome Gammell estate at Newport for
her life only Fhis is one of the hand
soonest estates In Newport-one of the
show places, In fact-and the great brown
stone house in which half a hundred
guests can be cared for is the beginning
of the row of magnificent palaces THAI
front the ocean. But Harriet Gammell
was nevertheless left a rich woman. 1t
is estimated that the property which Is
hers is worth at least $40, 900. Her
mother was accounted the richest woman
In Rhode Island, but how hcn can only
be conjectured, as her interests were so
diversified that no correct estimate has,
perhaps, ever been made. And Harriet
Gammell is the real manager of her va
ried estates She is woman of strong
mentality, and while she has attorneys
and agents she is the real manager.
There was romance in the meeting of
Thomas Shaw Safe and Miss Gammell. A
fractions cob was responsible for 1t. One
afternoon last summer Miss Gammell was

London Cannot Get a Word
From the Front.

London, Feb. 6.-This hoping, fearing,
doubling nation remains at the mercy
of every wild rumor. The impression
that Gen. Buffers forces are fighting
will not die out in spite of the con-
tinuous asseverations of the war office
that it has no news to confirm that be-
lief
From Cape Town under today's date.
comes the statement that up to this
morning nothing has been heard there
regarding Gen. Buffers recrossing the
Tugela river, while Field Marshal Lord
Roberts, in a dispatch dated Monday.
February 5, reports no change in the
situation. In view of the latter's dis
patches it seems hard to credit the cir
cumstantial reports of the engagement
of Gen. Buffers troops. The common
sense now almost inclines toward the
decision that these are due to the wish
being the rather or the thought. sup
position upon such q basis is utterly
futile. The complete silence from the
front and at home may be significant
as the wiseacres aver but it more pro-
baby represents that period of prepar-
alton which precedeS an important
NOV ennent.
In other parts besides the Tugela the
conditions of the men are scarcely more
satisfactory. There is an inconcluSive
vagueness regarding Gen. French's re-
ported intention to attack NOrValSpont
with an overwhelming force of infant
~. While the news of sharp fighting
in the neighborhood of Colesberg can
be fairly expected within a few days it
is not likely that it will assume greater
proportions than reconnaissance and
skirmishes for the purpose of holding
the advanced position of the forthcon-
ing main advance by way of Bloemfon-
TEN. Gen. French is strategically pro-
hibited from running any serious risk.
From Kimberley and Mafeking there
is nothing new, so it can be presumed
that the Intermittent bombardment of
those places continues.

TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY.
Trouble Begins in Canadian Pariia-
ment Over Expenses of Troops-

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 6.-Fhe Transvaal
war was discussed in the house OF
commons last night. The position of
the government was announced by F.
}. Gould, who made the address in re-
ply to the speech from the throne, in
regard to. the pay of the contingents
which is the bone of contention between
the two political parties. The govern
ment proposes to pay all the expense
of the Canadian soldiers to Cape Town,
there to be merged into the battalions
of the empire and paid for by Great
Britain. In addition to the pay given
by Great Britain Canada will make it
up to what would be paid if the Canad-
ian soldiers had been serving at home.
This extra amount will be kept in a
fund for the return of the men or given
out to their families. Sir Charles Tup-
per insisted on paying the full sum to
Great Britain while the Canadians were
in the field.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke of the JUS
tice of the war and supported the view
taken by the government for forward
ing assistance. He did not want to be
more imperial than the imperialists and
said the sending of the contingents Of
fered no precedent which any govern
ment would be expected to follow in the
future.

London, Feb 6.-The Better Life" a
dramatization of the Rev. Charles Shell
don's novel, I'm His Steps," by Arthur
Shirley and Sutton Vane, was pro-
duced last evening at the Adelphi
theater. 1t was rather well acted, but
does not seem to have attracted the
critics.
[Rev. Mr.. Sheldon has had nothing to
do with the dramatization of his story
He does not hold a copyright in Eng
land and was not consulted about the
dramatization. The announcement
that it has not attracted much atten-
ton will not surprise Mr.. Sheldon, as
he stated some time ago in an inter
view in the State Journal that he did
not believe the play would be staged
in the manner that it should be, and
that it would not be acted in the proper
spirit

GOES TO THE SENATE.
The New Treaty With England Sub
mitted Promptly.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The new treaty
with Great Britain relative to the
building of the Nicaragua canal was re-
ceived by the senate today and was
read in executive session. Senator Dav-
is, chairman of the commission on for
eign relations, moved to make the
treaty public, as it was a subject in
which all were greatly interested, but
after some discussion it was decided to
refer the matter to the committee on
foreign relations before taking that
step. The comments of senators upon
the treaty after hearing it read were
favorable It was said to allow the
United States all the authority that
was needed and the neutrality of the
canal was guaranteed as was the neu-
trality of the Suez canal.
