The South African war has al
ready developed three important
advances in the science of war.
The fret is siege train; that is, n
special armored train, with loco
motive cars and rails for the trans
portation of siege guns and car
riages. Second, permanent steel
bridge spans, intended to replace
the bridges over the Tugela and
Modder rivers. The third advance
is balloons furnished with wireless
telegraphy apparatus. General
White, it is known, has such a
balloon, and it is of great service
at Ladysmith, while General Me-
thuen has one on his line of oper-
atoms. These progressive steps
are to the advantage of the British
army. On the Boer the more i'm
portant lessons have been in the
mobility of their troops, their sys-
tenn of fortification, their superior
artillery, railway communication
along their line of trenches, and
more than all else. the superiority
of their commanders and soldiers,
fighting on interior lines, in de-
Tense of liberty and Independence.
Such cause makes the better
soldier.

writes : Letter 90 the New York
world Stating His Position In the
Present Contest.
NEW YORK, September 5.-The
World tomorrow will print a letter
from Richard OIney, Secretary OF State
during the Cleveland administration
in which Mr. 0lney declares his inben-
tion of supporting Mr.. Bryan fer Pres
ident. After saying that Mr.. Bryan Is
hardly the candidate he should choose
If he had his way in the matter and
that he entirely dissents from parts OF
the Kansas City platform. Mr.. Olney
says:
Perfection In a candidate or plat
form is an idle dream, and infirniity in
its creed and defects in It's leadership
will always characterize every party.
But they in nowise exucse a citizen
from taking his assigned part in the
government OF the country-from max
ing up his mind what the Common
wealth demands and what party's sue
cess will come nearest satisfying the
man and using his influence and cast
ing his vite accordingly.
BE 1t admitted that the Democratic
party. its platform and its candidates are
open TO much just criticism. yet. all things
considered. would not its triumph be the
best outcome of the present Presidential
contest?"
Mr.. Olney then criticises the policy of
the Mckinley administration regarding
the Filipinos and thinks that the country
would soon find itself in the tolls of a Chi
nese problem more menacing than the
Philippine problem itself He concludes:
For myself, find 1t tolerably clear
that citizens duty in connection with
the coming Presidential election not only
permits, but requires him to desire the

club. 1t was the greatest fizzle yet re-

House. The club worked hard to get

corps who refused to drum unless they
were paid. A purse was made UP and
this settled the dispute and they play

Sir:-During Mr.. Bryan's tour IN this

speaker to be heard

ago. When this gross discourtesy was
reported to the management, it affected
that the blowing was necessary at that

was prearranged. Let us sincerely

attempted tonight, and that the few
