views on the Outcome of the War.
Nothing has been more extraordinary
in connection with the South African
war than the lack of news that has
come from the Boer side. Especially
is this true about the men who are
leading the armies of the republics.
OF President Kruger and General
Joubert-who, by the way, is of the
same age as Lord Roberts-of the
Transvaal and of President Steyn Of
the Orange Free State much has been
printed, but there end descriptions Of
the personality Of the leaders.
The New York World recently con-
tanned an interview with Philip Louter
Vessels of Bloemfontein, who comes
to the United States by the advice of
his government to do what he can for
the republics. His brother is the chair
man Of the war council of the Orange
Free State. Another brother is in the
volksraad. Still another has been in
command of the Boer forces that be-
sieged Kimberley.
Naturally it would be supposed that
Mr. Vessels would know all about the
generals commanding the troops. He
was asked about them.

erals except my brother" said Mr..

The firm that built the Lick and 9TH
er great telescopes has been given an
order by the war department for 100
neldglasses Of a new design that are
expected to be lighter in proportion to
their power than any other fieldglass-
es yet produced, says the Cleveland
correspondent Of the Chicago Record.
They will weigh but IL ounces and be
but about four inches long, but they
are expected to be sufficiently power
full to take the place Of the glasses
now used in the army. The new
glasses are a part of the general plan
for tightening the service equipment
Of the army.

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles we're to be traced to the kidneys,
but row modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-RoOt, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures Of the most distressing cases

cruel as to call forth universal aenun-
citation. The stats authorities have
just ordered camp Of convicts aboA

lease cancelled, owing to the convicts
being underfed, underclothed and
overworked. When man hires con

We're over. but were prevented from
going further than San Francisco by
the intervention of friends. They are
waiting there for Chinese events to take
decided turn one way or the other.
Jesse NJ. Wilson of Washington,theC Cor
nell graduate who received an appoint
ment, is in this city anxiously awaiting
news which will send him hurrying to
China or cause him TO look for other
employment.
1t was Secretary Robert Harris inten-
ton to put the management OF Chinese
customs into the hands of young Amer
lean and English college men as far as
possible. He had made arrangements
for their instruction by Chinese teach
ers and had several prominent profess
sors in different colleges watching for
promising men. Several graduates went
to China year ago and are among the
foreigners now in danger of death at
the hands of the boxers Among the
number are two Cornell men. A num-
Der of young men who will be gradu-
ated next year and who were to receive
appointments have about given up hope
of the service being continued and will
probably drop preparations for that
sort of work
