A HALF-HEAR1TD SIEGE.
Roberts reported weyener sim Sur

Relief Forces

LONDON, April 1S.-The war office re-
ceived the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts, dated Bloemfontein, Tuesday,
April II:
sOur force at Wepener is still sur
rounded, but it is reported that the
fnemy are attacking in a very half
hearted manner and are anxious about
their communications, hearing that
forces are approaching Wepener from
two directions-one under General Run
die, via Reddersburg, and another under
General Brabant, with General Hart s
brigade i'll support, via Rockville.
"On the reoccupation of Rockville,
April 10, the few Beers there retired,
and General Brabant made some i'm
portant arrests.
"Violent storms have somewhat in
terfered with the march Of these col
umns, but it it hoped they will soon be
able to make their presence more de-
cidedly felt.

H0AR LAUDS AGUINALDO.
Puts Him In the Same Galaxy as Kos
suth, Hale, Kruger and
Joubers.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-For more
than three hours Mr.. Hoar, the senior
senator from Massachusetts, occupied
the attention of the senate with a speech
in opposition to the policy of Imperial
ism" upon which, he maintained, this
government has embarked. As pre-
pared, the address was about 80, 900
words i'll length, but Mr. Hoar omitted
much of it owing to an incipient at
tack of the grip from which he was suf-
fering.
One of the notable parts of the adj
dress was the eulogy of Aguinaldo.
Mr.. Hoar did not ilSen the insurgent
leader to Washington, as has been done
heretofore, but to kossuth, Dom Paul.
Joubert, Nathan Hale, and other build
ers of the church of liberty In state
craft he likened Aguinaldo and his asso-
ciates in the leadership of the Filipinos
to the best minds ever produced in the
Asiatic race-a race which handed down
to us s'the scriptures of the old and new
testaments, the poetry of David, the
eloquence of Isaiah, the wisdom of Sol
ONION, and the profound philosophy of
Paul
One of the most effective parts of the
address was his fancied rollcall of some
of the distinguished statesmen of the
United States ON the question of the re-
tention of the Philippines. He began
with George Washington and closed
with William Mckinley, each in SEN
tence giving the reason for his vote.
Every vote was in the negative except
that of Aaron Burr, who voted Eyes, y
and explained: You are repeating my
buccaneering expedition down the Mis-
sissippi. | am to be indicated at last. -
When the name of William Mckinley
was called he replied:
"There has been a cloud before nv
vision for a moment, but I see clearly
now; go back to what | said two years
ago: .Forcible annexation is criminal
aggression; governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed, not of some of them but of
all of them / will stand with the
fathers of the republic. / will stand
with the founders of the Republican
party No.
The effect was dramatic.

DEFENDERS WERE DETERMINED.
Claimed They Could Hold Out at Mafeik-

MAFEKING, Saturday, April THE
success of Lieutenant Smith Eman, the
Rhodesian scout, who, with the excep-
ton Of a Reuter- correspondent, cy-
clist, is the only white man who has en-.
tered Mafeking since the siege began, is
likely to prove Of great value to Colonel
Plumer, to whom he has returned with
dispatches, should Plumer decide to
raise the siege of Mafeking in earnest.
A Scottish crofter has introduced a
method of making nourishing porridge
with oat bran, which is great boon
and is solving the question of feeding
the natives.
We are now confident of holding out
two months longer The men in the
trenches are determined to play the
game to the end.

COAL STRIKE PROBABLY ENDED.
Convention at Pittsburg Advised Miners
to Return to Work Pending Settlement.

PITTsBuRG, April 1S.-A feeling of re-
lief pervaded the atmosphere of the To-
cal coal world when it became known
that the strike of the Pittsburg district
miners was ended, at least for the time
being.
The parting words of the district Off
Gals to the delegates were to urge their
constituents to resume work. More eff
fectiye than this, however, was the rec
ommendation Of the convention itself, in
a resolution bear ng ON the outside day
scale, advising nat the whole district
go back to work Immediately pending a
permanent settlement of that point. 1t
is therefore expected that some 5000
diggers and mine laborers will again
take up a1elr duties today.

Queer Kinds OF Bullets.

While lead and steel are the most
common metals in use for the smaller
projectiles employed in war. gold, sill
yer, iron and even wood have been
fired. At the siege of Amadanagar bull
lets of gold and silver were fired into
the enemy's camp by order of the
Mogul Princess Claude. To make such
bullets more effective curses were in
scribed upon them. Mr.. Selous, the
African hunter and explorer, is said to
hove shot lions in the north Of Bulu-
wayo in the COS with golden bullets.
Lead was scarce and it was not easy
to get fresh supply; but gold, mined
on the spot did just as well. During
the fighting on the Kashmir frontier
the rebellious Hunzas used bullets
made of garnets incased in lead, which
they fired against the British soldiers.
Bullets Of stone were used before the
end of the sixteenth century Iron
bullets were mentioned as in use in

Queer Kinds of Bread.

The Mexicans make bread OF the
eggs of three kinds of insects. For
this purpose the natives cultivate in
the lagune of Chaico sort OF carex,
on which the insects readily deposit
their eggs. The eggs, after being sep
arated from the bundles of floating
carex, are then cleaned and sifted, put
into sacks like flour. and sold to the
people for making a kind of cake or
bread, called "hautle," which forms
a tolerably good food, but has fishy
taste. and is slightly acid. Bread has
been made from wood and sawdust.
In Kamchatka pine or birch. bark, well
macerated, pounded and baked, fire.
quently constitutes the native bread.
The Icelander scrapes the Iceland moss
off the rocks and grinds 1t into fine
-four, with serves both for bread and
buildings. In Africa powdered dry To-
Gusts are mixed with flour for bread,
and during the Indian famine small
stones are said to have been ground
and mixed with meal for bread. On
the western shores of England GER
tain kind of seaweed (Phorphyra Ia
ciniata) is gathered, washed, boiled,
and then baked with oatmeal flour for
bread.

The Chinese boy has his sports and
games to help keep him busy, and out
of mischief. He flies kites and plays
at shuttlecock, the shuttlecock being
kicked about from one hoy to another
and kept in the air as long as pos
sible. Chinese boys who, If they were
in America would enjoy dog fights,
in China amuse themselves by secur-
ing large aggressive crickets and ar
ranging cricket fights. The boys in
China also play at guessing pennies,
and buy oranges from the peddlers
with the agreement that the one who
comes the nearest to guessing the seeds
in the orange be allowed to eat it while
the other one pays.
But one good friend the Chinese boy
has, no matter how bad he may be, and
that is the same friend that the bad
American boy has-mother. Chinese
mothers weep over their bad sons Just
| like American mothers do, and inter-
cede with the father to forgive the
wickedness Of his offspring.
So even in far off China the bad boy
has his friends, and there as here, no
matter how wicked he is or where he
is, the fond, loving mother waits
through the night for his return, and
murmurs in words that, in spite OF tho
fact they are spoken in Chinese, are as
tender as though uttered in English,

Brooks Adams has written a book
in which he sets forth the theory that
the financial and political commissions
of recent years in the western hemi-
sphere are due to the decay of Eng
lands power. He says tho center OF
commercial and financial supremacy
has been passing from London across
the Atlantic, and the Spanish war was
only the shock of its arrival in the
United States. The controlling power
under the new industrial conditions
will continue to be held by this conn
try so long as we can maintain the
vast export trade now enjoyed.
American machinery will hereafter
handle the coal and iron received and
shipped in the harbor of Alexandria,
Egypt, with reduction in the cost per
ton from $3.50 to so cents or less. An
expert was sent to this country to
study the problem, and the results is
the construction of an elevated tam
way on the American plan.
