CRONJE'S HUMILIATION.
Roberts and Kitchener Scored For
Their Treatment of Boer General.

New York, Feb. ga special to the
World from Washington. D. c., says:
Continental diplomats accept the de-
feat of Gen Cronje in grim silence. None
Will consent to be quoted for any ex-
preston except that the issue was what
might have been expected. One of the
attaches who has himself served as a
soldier, however, said:
There is one aspect of the capitula-
ton of Gen. Cronje which is humiliat-
ing to every soldier. There is a broth
erhOOd of chiValry which binds all pro-
fessional soldiers Violation of the del
tcate amenities which govern the con-
duct OF members of our profession is
reflection upon the order of chivalry as
much today as it was when knighthood
was in flower
Gen. Cronje made a gallant defense.
At the cost of the utmost sacrifice and
pain he stopped the victorious LOrdROb-
erts and held his ground until his hard
pressed countrymen could form for a
final defense.
THE fact that Lord Roberts and his
lieutenant, Lord Kitchener, compelled
the valorOus Cronje to the bitter hui
initiation of presenting himself at the
tent of his cOnqueror as q suppliant for
the miserable boon of unconditional
surrender is a requita1 of bravery not
consistent with chiValrOus conduct. Sol
diers throughout the world will be
amazed There was no possible excuse.
The fact that the British commanders
the f1imsiest pretext. The British were
strong enough to have executed the
frail army were any violation of war
committed.
"Cronje has been a brave foe. He
made no discrimina ton between the
wounded British and his own people;
all were treated alike, as was shown
when the hospital at Jacobsdal was
captured two weeks ago. The bitter hu-
initiation put upon him is a stain upon
Christian knighthood. It is without
parallel.
Contrast the conduct of Lord Rob
erts and Kitchener with that of the
victorious Schley and Shafter The ut
most courtesy was shown TO their over
thrown foes. Philips Don't cheer, men;
they are dying will stand in contrast
to the conduct of the generals who COM
PEELED gallant foeman who had bat
tied against tremendous odds to come
as a humble suppiant even to the very
doors of their tents, to beg for his brave
sOldirs tina tthey might ANONYMOUSLY
surrender.
This ruthless, overbearing conduct
will have an effect upon civilization.
Those who claim to admire fair play
should exhibit some of the elements
of the chivalry which is the real basis
of gentlemanly conduct.
Soldiers will remember this treat
ment and it is possible that on another
day it may be returned with interest"

VOTED FOR PASSES.
Iowa Legislature Decides to Keep Up
Free Rides.

Chicago. Feb. 2s.-A special to the
Times Herald from Des Moines, Iowa,
says:
After an all-day discussion the
Hughes anti-free pass bill lacked one
vote of passing in the house. Various
Attempts had been made to kill the bill
with amendments and by the indirect
means of laying it on the table. The
judiciary committee had reported the
bill in an emaciated form, making it
apply only to delegates to political con-
ventions A minority report, restoring
the bill to its original form, prohibiting
issuing passes to all state and county
officers, including members of the legis-
lature and district judges, was adopted
by a vote OF 81 to "a.
The opponents of the bill next tried
to amend it by making 1t apply to the
railway commissioners, TO whom rail-
way companies are compelled by law
to furnish free transportation. This
failed by a vote of 80 to 81.
The morning votes indicated that the
bill would pass, but during the noon re-
cess several members changed their
minds and voted no on the final roll
call. No motion to reconsider was
made. The discussion was at times
very animated.

ALARM FOR CROKER.
Friends Fear That the Health of the
Tammany Man is Seriously I'M
paired.

New York, Feb. 2s.-Richard Croker's
condition is beginning to alarm his
political and personal friends. Reports
from Vantage, England, are that he Is
recovering slowly from his injuries.
While his fractured leg is mending, his
stomach troubles have attacked him
again.
One of Mr.. Crocke's lieutenants re-
ceived a letter from him yesterday in
which Mr.. Crocker was frank enough
to say that he was not in the best OF
health. He also wrote that he would
not return to New York before the lat
ter part of May.
This will prevent him attending the
Democratic state convention, which is
to elect delegates to the national con-
vention, and is taken as an indication
that his troubles are of a serious char
acter.

LIE UNDER THE SEA.
Spanish Armored Cruisers Cannot Be
Recovered by Uncle Sam.

New York, Feb. 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
All chance of saving any of the Spanish
armored cruisers sunk off Santiago.
Cuba has gone. WORD has reached the
navy department that the Cristobal
Colon, which was pushed on the beach
by the cruiser New York, after the bat
tie with Cervera's command, has slid
into deep water.
The department long ago gave up the
idea of saving the Colon. Private per-
sons have been writing to the secretary
of the navy for permission to raise the
vessel but as they could not meet the
departments requirements, or imposed
impossible conditions, favorable action
on their requests has not been taken.

OYSTER TRUST FORMED.
Seeks to Control the Foreign as Well
as Local Trade.

New York, Feb. 2s.-The consolidated
oyster company is being organized. 1t
seeks to control not only the local trade,
but trade to foreign shores as well. Ev-
cry man that eats an oyster in London
or New York will be a subscriber. In
all probability the fry will soon be
raised out of reach of the casual mid
night roysterer, who bears home pen
ance in box.
The formation of the oyster monopoly
is in the hands of Theron Strong, a law
yer. At the present moment Mr.. Strong
is disinclined to give complete details,
as he says there are still options to be
secured from different oyster growers.
