The South African war is now in it's
final stage, and there is no doubt
about the outcome. II the Beers were
still to meet with occasional successes.
like the capture of Bethune's troopers,
their ultimate surrender would be
none the less inevitable. Continued
fighting does not serve their great and
noble cause, which is lost already, but
simply prolongs a period of unneces-
sary, unavailing bloodshed. Many of
their foreign sympathizers who feel
for them in the bitter defeat of their
hopes must deprecate this costly,
fruitless struggle, and there have been
rumors that the Beers themselves
have begun to question it's wisdom.
No one will, however. question its
business. There are those among
them who would sue for peace, even
though Kruger has declared with char
acteristic obstinacy that his people
win resist until they are destroyed

A writer In the Revue SociaIiste as
serts that the chief bar to woman's
advancement is her lack of will. The
statement is made that a woman
spends all of her life yielding to the
wishes OF some man. When a child
she is forced to make sacrifices for the
benefit of her brothers. and she learns
to wait on them and concede every
point to the masculine usurper. She
1t is who nurses the sick man and
humors his uncertain moods. This Is
good training for wifehood, and as
wife she learns that she has married
her husbands family and must defer
to all of the relatives she has acquired
Her husband expects obedience, and
she must wear smiling face when
she is in pain, and must always suit
herself to his humors.

An investigation of the watershed Of
Rock River, H., will soon be made by
the Division of Forestry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to determine the
cause of the diminution Of the volume
of that stream. This is supposed to
be due to the denudation of the forests
along the head waters of the river and
to excessive artificial drainage for
commercial and agricultural purposes.
The decrease in the volume OF the wa
ter has become alarming, and in re-
Spouse to the agitation of citizens of
that locality Representative Hit ap-
piled to the Secretary of Agriculture
for an investigation. G. F. Schwartz,
field assistant Of the Division of For
estry, will visit Illinois to investigate.

Satisfaction must be expressed at
the present activity of the historical
societies in the middle west. They
realize that the earlier the work of col
lecting and preserving the early rec
ords of the states is begun the better
1t will be done, and that each year it
is postponed valuable material is lost.

ciety Of Illinois will appreciate this in

1t seems strange that with all the

the age" man is still at the mercy Of
some of natures most petty creatures.
Take so small thing as a mosquito.

Mr.. Carter declared the statement

denounced the charges as pigments or

hn
crowded with spectators, The pictur-
esQue incidents were few. Partisan
passion running high in the face OF
the impending presidential campaign
broke out several times during the at
ternoon and hot words were banded
across the political aisle. Mr.. Hull Of
Iowa and Mr. LentZ of Ohio crossed
swords, and later Mr. Grosvenor Of
Ohio and Mr.. Gaines Of Tennessee had
a lively encounter. Throughout the
day at every opportunity there was
play for political advantage and
taEnts and challenges were banded
back and forth. But all this was
merely incidental TO the work OF

bedlam. Hour after hour the con-
ferees struggled on with their reports,

The House.

Washington. June Z. - When the
house iast s..isut at 1850 took a recess
until 10 o'clock to-day the two cham
beers of the national legislature, with
heads down and horns locked, were in
desperate struggle over the item in
the naval appropriation bill relating
10 ocean surveys. The final adjourn.
ment of congress is postponed until it
is over.
The proceedings in the house during
the day were tame and without ORA,
matte incident. This was partly due
TO the fact that the firm position taken
by the house on the armor plate pro-
vision transferred the fight to the floor
OF the senate and TO the obstinate re
fusal OF Mr.. LehtZ, an Ohio Demo
crat, to permit any unanimous consent
legislation until the Republican lead
ers agreed to allow the testimony of
the Occur d'Alene Investigation to be
printed. Mr.. Lentz held the house by
the throat all day, and except for
privileged matters things legislative
were practically At standstill. But
last night there was enough excite.
ment to compensate fer the dullncss
OF the days session. The house 90,
its dander up over the failure Of it's
coLferees to abide by their instruc-
tions on the ocean survey item. and af-

the appropriations committee. made
some startling disclosures as to the
manner in Which Con mander Todd.
the photographer Of Ike navy. had
waged his campaign against the stand
taken by the house in favor of the
coast and geodetic survey doing ocean
survey work, the house rejected the
conference report by an overwhelming
majority, and the speaker took the al-
most unprecedented course of appoipt-
ing new conferees on the TART of the
house who are not members of the
naval committee. The debate was one
OF the bitterest and most heated of the
session.
The senate.
Inability to reach an agreement uron
the naval appropriation bill forced the
senate to abandon the adoption OF the
mousse resolution for final adjournment

ate leaders and caused their well laid
plans to 90 awry. 1t was n day of
STRIFE and turbulence in the senate.
Early the cOnferees on the naval bill
reported disagreement and the sen
ate was told plainly that the house
would not consent to the amendment

TO be operated by the government. a
COMPROMISE Dropcsit on was presented
by Mr.. Penrose Of PENNSYLVANIA. and

adopted by vote of 30 to 80. The
