APOLOGY STORY DENIED


state department, regarding the story
that Great Britain has apologized to this
| government for the action of the censor
/ in opening letters addressed to the United
! States consul at Pretoria, that the United
| States has made no demand upon the
! British government for an apology, as
! the officials say that Mr.. Macrum who
was consul at Pretoria when the mail is
! said to have been opened. made no Off
! cial complaints on that subject, and thus
! the state department had nothing official
! before it to serve as a basis for a de-
mand 70 ran apology. As stated before.
however, the British government itself
voluntarily took notice of Mr. Macrum's
complaint, and finding that, as an Incl
dent to the transfer of a large quantity
Of mail from Durham to Cape Town, re-
sulting in great congestion and the hand
ling of mail by new agents, there had
been an indiscriminate opening Of let
tiers, which probably had affected the con-
sular mail with others. Lord Paunce-
fote, speaking for his government, dis
avowed the action Of the censor, and de-
clared that it was unauthorized in re-
spect to Mr.. Macrum mail. This as
surance was given long ago. and some Of
the members Of the house committee on
foreign affairs were made acquainted
with it at the time
London, March q (6:17 D. m.)-The re-
port. published in the United States, that
Lord Salisbury has apOlogized for the
opening Of American consular mail in
South Africa, is untrue. Nothing what
ever has passed between the two govern
ments on this matter. and the British
premier has taken no action to fTIvest- /
gate the allegations of Charles Z. Ma /
crum. former consul Of the United States /
at Pretoria, nor has he been requested /
to do so. A printed fac smile Of a
letter to Mr. Macrum alleged TO have /
been opened, was given to Lord Salisbury /
by a representative of the Associated .
Press. but he made no comment. nor did .
he direct that anything be done.

q. Tho Huts OF the Amazon.

T have seen but few people on my
way up the Amazon. Para, at the
mouth, is the metropolis of the whole
region. It has 100000 population
and is a big business center. Oby.
dos has about 500 people, although it
is put down in the books as much
larger. There are few other scatter.
ing towns, such as Santarem and Porte
Allegro, but none have many people.
Along the banks you see here and
there cut out Of the woods clearing
just about big enough for hut and O
garden. The hut is made of poles
and palm leaves, and the garden con-
sists of few banana trees, an orange
tree or so,and some palm trees. The
huts are thatched with palm leaves.
They are SO rude that the wind whis-
ties through them and the roof merely
serves to keep out the rain and the
sun.
They are built close to the river.
Naked babies play on the shore in
front of them, and bare-footed men
and women stand and look at the
steamer as it goes by. The most of
these people are rubber hunters, q
few own cacao orchards, but all seem
to be thriftless and poverty stricken.

Enriand's Boy Choirs.

Julian Ralph, writing of "The Choi,
Boys of England, in the Ladies
Home Journal, says: "Small boys are
innch preferred for the reason that
they develop into manhood later thar
biz, ;stalwart children, for it is at the
coming of manhood that their voicef
break and they are obliged to stoF
singing until their adult tones are
reached-a matter of years. A boyisf
treble is as delicate as the bloom on
peach, and it's possessor must lead al
orderly and innocent life, which if
why so many choirs are made up Of
boys taken from their homes an6
boarded and taught in church institu
tions. These, sometimes, are able te
sing until they are seventeen or eigh'
teen years of age, though between
fourteen and fifteen is the usual perioc
when their voices break" =

discovered new use for electricity. ;.
1t is fattening pigs. Therei is no joke
about the experiment. He has used
two cages of guinea pigs for the 'ex-
pertinent. The pigs in each cage were
the same age. Around one cage he
hung electric wires, which were
charged daily. The pigs in this cage
gained ten per cent. more in weight
