GENERAL BULLER,s ApPErIrE

From the New York World
 General Sir Redvers Butler is a noted gourmand. Before leaving England his chef planned for him different dinner daily for three months ahead. Each din- ner was packed in a separate case with the date on which it was to be eaten on the cover and the menu inside. The chef has instructions to keep on providing his master with dinners as long as he remains on the campaign.
 Ruler's devotion to the table is well known. It was no derogation from General Buffers courage or military ability. which despite the Tugela river affair, are beyond question. He works fifteen hours daily, or more if necessary, and never spares him. self in any way. But he must have good feeding.

Augustus Birrell tells of a delightful in- cfdert that occurred at the Johnson club" which meets four times a year at the "Old Cheshire Cheese" a steak-and-chop house in Wine Office court, London, just out of Fleet street. and where it's members dine and talk and 'explore the mind" of their hero. Dr. Samuel Johnson, says the Buffa- To Commercial At one of these dinners there happened to be present Bonnor, the famous Australian crieketer, who con- fessed to the company that until that even ing he had never heard of pr. Samuel Johnson. Mir Burrel says that at this some one filtered" Whereupon "Bonnor, the beared, the terrific. clear-eyed, drew himself up to his full height of six feet six, and said: Yes: and what is more l come from a great country where you might ride a horse sixty miles day for three months and never meet anybody who had. But I have heard of him now. and can only say, that Were I not Bonnor the cricketer, I would be Samuel Johnson!"

NO TIMBER IN SOUTH AFRICA

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The vast veldts aud kopjes of South Af riea, where the Boers and Britons are fighting, are almost destitute of trees. In fact the only trees of any size in all that country are the blue gums, which are not native to South Africa, the original stock having been imported from Australia many years ago. In Australia the blue gum tree 'ofteas grows t9 a height of 300 feet. though away from its native hauptss 1t rarely reaches such "a gromth..

By the Flank at colesburg.

Flank turning has been inauSurated at Colesburg by General French, wno is in the nelghborhood of the scene of General Catacre's assault and the Boers are Tn luii retreat towards the Orange river. BucKlhg the center of an entrenehed line is thing of old warfare. It was a desperate mat ter even then now 1t borders upon lunacy and criminality in the man who orders II.
 Flank movements call for superior forces, and that Is what the British can com Pretoria. General Freneh's flank move ment at Colesburg was executed with 2'oVo men. How many Boers were in colesours is not known, but 1t is stated that their line was six miles long, and it would scarcely be possible to build and hold line of that length with less than two thousand men.
 This war has not shown that the Boers can cope in open battle with the British. Nothing of the kind nas been demonstrated. There has been a great deal of exultation oyer the results of three attacks upon Boers hid behind rocks pr ample e2S1isIl works vel t--.eeonn5cted" up. The Boer has stood securely in his fortress and delib- erately shot down inc British soldier when Of his deadly rifle. General Butler, who seems to nave studied a luxurious menu more than modern warfare, ordered sucn a state of things, and the result was loss of LOO British soldiers, dead or wouAded, witF loss of unirty-two Boels, killed and wounded. The only wonder Is as to tle Boers. There is no reason why any Boer in such a battle should nave been killed E OF wounded No smoke obscured the oaltle- field, and the Beers could pick off the enemy at leisure.
 General Butler had no excuse for fnging his men against such force, except ol course general incompetency. He knows the Boers, or should know them. He was chief of staff to Sir Evelyn Wood in the assaults flung back as his was at Tuseia river. He was at Tel-el-Keber in the Egyptian War of 1882, and the Soudan cam paign of 1SS4-S5. He is reputed the wealth. fest officer of the English army, but his wealth and his experience did not teacl him that smokeless powder, machine guns and two-mule rifles have rendered direct assaults upon entrenehed or protected po- sitions ruinously impossible. He has, it is believed, learned the lesson, but the est of the lesson was e.even hundred valuable lives. Gneral Roberts will assuredly em- ploy strong, free, and aggressive columns, and when une Boers meet these columns they must come into the open.

Felt Smaller Than He Looked

The dwarf of the new house is John L. Burnett, of Alabama An Alabamian the other day related this story, which will best illustrate how the diminutive member will appear to the speaker when he makes his maiden speech relates the Philadel- phia Call.
 Burnett commonly known in his district as the Jack of Spades is a shrewd law yer who mas had much practice before the Alabama supreme court. The greatest em- barrassment of his life was suffered when ne made his debut before that dignified tribunal He was seated behind a high table, stacked with law books and papers, and when he arose in his turn to address the court their honors were unable to even see the top of his head above the pile
 "The learned counsel" said the chief justice, will kindly do the court the usual courtesy of rising when addressing it."
 1t is needless to add that Burnett felt manifoldly more diminutive than he looked.

About the headquarters of the man

NORTHERN RAILROAD,
The Bees Account Confirmed From
Fort Steele, B. c.


Over week ago the Bee announced
that the Great Northern would in the
near future construct railroad from
near this city into the northern part
of Flathead county, and into the
northern coal fields. The Bees ac-
count is confirmed by the following
special to the Spokane Spokesman
Review:
Fort Steele, B. c., Oct. 3l.-A party
of Great Northern surveyors was IN
the vicinity of Tobacco plains Sat
urday and it is said the company ex
poets to build "a line from Kalispell,
Mont, to Elks or Fernie, in order
to secure coal from the Crows Nest
coal mines for use on the western
division of that system. It is also
learned that an agent of the COM
pany was in Fernie recenlly with a
view of ascertaining how much coal
could be furnished, and that the COM
pany would take all surplus coal
mined. So far as could be learned
there are no engineering difficulties
to be overcome between Kalispell and
the Crows Nest pass railway.
The north and south railway seems
to be an assured fact. Surveys will
be started early in the spring. This
road, when completed, will be of
great benefit in TIE development of
the great valley of the Columbia and
Koo1enai and the mines tributary
thereto,
