the action of Judge Ha2elrigg iii swear-
ing i'll Governor Goebel, would probably
decide against Governor Taylor. He
then wanted the right to submit the
matter TO the United States supreme
court for final settlement. The talk
was informal, Mr.. Edelen merely stat.
ing his position, that the opposing at.
torneys might take the matter under
advisement The lawyers separated
with an agreement to meet again.
When they met Tor the second time
Mr.. Edelen again submitted his propo
sition, and received the reply that tht
Democratic attorneys desired to have
the matter adjudicated in the state
courts. To this Mr. Edelen objected
saying he wished the final settlement to
be made in the supreme court at Wash

would be met half way, and the confer
ence was at an end.

derment. Of this total Of $4,000 troops,
with 452 guns, all are now there, with
the exception of about $4,000 that are
afloat. Beyond comparison, this is the
largest force Great Britain has ever put
into the field. At the end Of the O1mean
war she had scraped together $4,000
men. Wellington, at Waterloo. had
$4,000 men.
MIR. Wyndham's speech was the
strongest defense the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done. The general
tone Of the morning papers is that his
figures will astonish the country.
Roughly speaking, only 10000 men are
ut the front. Ten thousand others have
been lost and 10000 are shut uaat Lady
smith.
Excluding taese, there arc 10000
troops who have not yet been in action,
in addition to those at sea. Why so
many electives have not yet been en-
gagged is explained by the lack of land
transport and the organization OF sup.
plies, in which Lord Roberts is devoting
his experience and Lord Kitchener his
genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight of
these masses must destroy the equili.
brium which now holds the British
forces stationary wherever they are in
contact with the Boer army.
Lack Of transportation and organiza.
ton will not explain adequately why,
when generals ut the trout request re.
Inducements, they get them in real
small numbers. Knowledge is slowly
penetrating to London that large garri-
sons must be kept in Cape Colony to
hold down the Cape Dutch, who, as
everyone knows, outnumber the British
residents three to two.
Gable scraps received during the last
IL hours do not further illuminate the
military operations. Various independ-
ent correspondents confirm the report
that General Butler told his troops on
Jan. IL that he hoped to relieve Lady.
smith within d week.
1t is believed in some rather trust
worthy quarters that he is again assail-
ing the Boer lines.
A further list of casualties published
by the war Office brings the total from
the crossing of the Tugela to the aban.
donment of Spion Kop to 1885 officers

MACRUM A WEAK MAN.
Canon Farrar Said His Chief Care Seemed
to BE For His Personal
Safety.

LONDON, Feb. 2.--Canon Farrar, who
was forced to leave Pretoria with other
British clergymen, arrived in London.
With reference to Charles e. Macrum,
the former United States consul at Pre-
toria, Canon Farrar said:
"Mr. Macrum was one Of the last men
I saw before leaving. I told him he
was taking the wrong side, and did not
understand American feeling. His
chief care seemed to be for his personal
safety, and l think it was chiefly on
that account that he left in the midst of
the crisis. He is not q strong man, and
President Kruger may have taken ad.
vantage of this. But, when last saw
Mr.. Macrum he was patriotic and
loyal American.
"In regard to Blake's socalled volun.
teers, they are like Mr.. Blake, mostly
Burghers who would have been obliged
to tight anyway. Mr.. Macrum told me
there We're 5000 Americans in the
Transvaal, most of whom the United
States was glad to get rid of.
Pretoria, Canon Farrar added, was
provisioned for two years.

provcment in the parks since 1898,
and the saving IN the health depart
ment has been effected by reducing
salaries already very small. The state
ments made on Monday evening with
respect to the city infirmary, and Mr.
Herman, are absolutely false. Tho
expenditures haye been decreased
proportiopatcly and the number of
inmates reduced. Similar statements
were made concerning Inc other city
departments and Mr. Strunk, who
last Monday advocated the appoint
ment of a new bonrd was characterized
as disgruntled and disappointed poll
tician.
Dr. j. &. CulberisVn, Il member of the
board of education of Cincinnati
spoke especially Of the management
of the health department under tho

placed in that position n man wholly

pointment. he said, was considered an
insult by the decent members of the
profession The academy OF mcdi-
cine of the city adopted resolutions
In protest, but the Incapable health Of
iiccr Isl still retained. Dr. Culbertson
also spoke fcelingly of the disregard

affairs.
Hon. Dunison Wilson spoke elo-
qucntly in favor OF the passage OF the

the present board of city affairs is

that Mayor Tafel himself has been
compelled to ask the designations Of
three of the members on account of

did not see how he could pay out the
money on orders signed by Governor
Taylor until ne know for certain who

He had asked an opinion from the at

1t was received he would act accord

that the radical cure of cata,rh could

but from an internal remedy, acting on

FOR AMERICAN PARENTS.

(Hon.. WI Ting-Fang in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly for September9
The attitude of American parents
and children toward each other always
surprises Chinaman, and impresses
him unfavorably. His whole nature is
imbued with filial ideas so radically
different from those current here that
it is almost impossible for him TO APP
preciate the American point of view.
The Chinese parent expects explicit
obedience on the part of his child, and
he is not disappointed in his expecta-
tionS. American children are some
times obedient, but not always. the
Chinese parent governs by authority,
the American by affection. The Chi
nese parent says solemnly to his chlld:
1T is your duty TO obey me- All the
authority of law and custom demand
it. You musti' The American parent
says: Il shall be disDleased if you
don't obey me. and you shant have
any more sugar plumS." Both systems
have their advantages and dlsadVan-
tageS. The American way allows more
personal freedom, and is consistent
with the spirit of the American con-
stitution; but I sincerely believe that
the Chinese method makes children
more obedient and respectful Respect
to elders is one of the cardinal virtues
inculcated by our great sage Confucius-
In our eyes, it is a sin to dlSobey one 5
parents: a breach of duty not TO sup
port them in old age
