Somebody asked the MESSAGE
the other day the meaning Of inn
pclialism. y eli, perhaps ther,
are Il goodly number who do not
understand the meaning of the
! term to their cOmDlcte satisfaction
so we drop here "a hint as to the
definition.
However, we prefer to take a
couple Of Republican Senators for
| the illustration. The other day
the following resolution was intro
duccd in the United States Senate:
Resolved, That the Philippine
| islands are territory belonging to
the United States; that it is the in
tcntion OF the United States to re-
tain them as such and to establish
and maintain such governmental
control thruout the archipelago as
the situation may demand
The resolution was introduced by
Senator Beverage of Indiana, and
he made Il spread-eagle speech up
on the question. The speech was
full of fine dictations and accom-
panied by flights of oratory, but
his logic was fcarfullv shaky.
Senator Hoar said that practically
every statement of fact made by
Nj, Beverage was rcfutrd by
official reports from Admiral
Dewey, Gen. Otis, and
other officials in the Philippine
cs. Senator Iloar also said the
cloqucncc and beauty of the speech
as whole recalled to his mind the
incident of Satan taking Christ ON
Il high mountain and promising
him everything in sight if He would
only knccl down and worship him.
Christ replied; Get thee behind
Me, Satan, and Mr.. Hoar be
lives the American people will
eventually say; Get thee behind
ne, lmperlallstic tempter. - Mr..
iioar expressed regret that the
speech OF Mr.. Beverage was SO
full OF wealth. and glory
and kindred thlngssthat there was
no room for such words as
right. '.Justicc', 'dutv'. and
freedom. -
The above by two Republicans

THE MESSAGE is not a man wor'

there are men living today who are

faith in the ultimate triumph of

that our cause is righteous, but if

Paper cSreney.

LONDON, June l5.-That Command
ant-General Louis Botha should have
been able to stand for two days against
Lord ROBBERS and then TO retreat with
out losing any guns or having any Of
his men captured. Is taken to mean that
he has a force which the British must
still reckon rs formidable when acting
defenslyely.
The paclicatlon OF the whole Of the
Transvaal. especially the wide spaces,
far from the railroad. is looked upon as
a business requiring months rather
than weeks. Meanwhile everything
goes well for the British arms.

Machadodorp. said:
Both wings Of the federal forces
touched the advancing army at / a. m.
yesterday. east OF Pretoria. The fight
ing continued until dark. The enemy,
though In overwhelming numbers, were
checked along the line Of thirty-six
miles, and the burghers succeeded in
driving back their right wing i've
miles. Two burghers were killed and
ten wounded"
Another Machaldodorp announcement
is that the first regiment Of General
Buffers force attacked Almonds Mex
and was "annihilated." but as the Brit
ish were In overwhelming force. the
burghers were compelled to abandon
the mex.
A dispatch from Lourenco Marques,
Of yesterday, says:
President Kruger is holding on to
his gold and issuing paper notes from
the press in his executive car. The
Boer governments coin in stock is ex-
hausted and officials are now paying
out plain gold discs unstamped. Some
who have declined TO accept the notes
have taSen their salaries in gold bars.
1.-Two steamers arrived at Lourenco
Marques yesterday bringing several
thousand tons OF supplies. consigned to
Portuguese merchants but destined for
the Bners. General Butler will be un-
able to advance further until he gets
supplies. Nearly every farm house his
troops passed flew the white flag. The
British took nothing without paying

Case at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 14.-Argu-
ment of counsel in the Injunction pro-
ceedings in the plague case occupied
the attention of the court this morning.
Attorney Dunno presented a long ar
gument in support of the contention Of
the board Of health. that it had not
violated the law in Quarantining the
Chinese or that it had Disseminated in
so doing. He said the hoard Of su-
pervisors had the necessary power to
vest the board of health with power
to enforce such quarantine as the
board Of health deemed necessary for
the protection Of the health of the in
hahltants of the city.
The attorney for the complaint then
read number of pffidavits in support
Of the bill of complaint in which the
dispositions swore that if plague ex-
listed, proper precautions have not been
taken by the board of health. Other
alhdavits were to the effect that plague
does not and has not existed in the
