The Boer General, De Wet, Is Being

by the British.
MS ATTEMPT ON CAPE COLONY FAILED.
The Chase Of the willy Commander
Has Been One Of the Most Excit-
ing Operations Of the War. and 10
Expected to Result, Ultimately, In
His Capture.

Aliwal North, Cape Colony, Friday.
ID ce.7.-Gen. De Wet appears to be in
q most dangerous position, and to
need all his strategy TO extricate his
force. With strong British columns
on three sides and two swollen rivers
barring his front, the British COM
manders begin to be hopeful that the
great chase by four columns, which
has been one of the most exciting OPP
erations of the war, will result in the
capture of De Wet.
De Vets Whereabouts.
Definite news of his whereabouts
was first received December ?. The
next morning Gen. Knox started in
hot pursuit, and Pitchers and Her
bert's columns were detached to make
a turning movement. After three
hours march Gen. Knox learned that
during the night De Wet had doubled
back past the British right, necessi-
tating a complete change of plans
During the night of December Gen.
Knox encamped on the Carmel farm,
the site of the Boer laager, which evil

Made . Daylight start.
Gen. Knox started again at day
light, hoping to corner De Wet while
crossing Karrepoort drift, but he ar
rived too late. The British expert
enced very great difficulty in follow
ing De Wet, owing to the rise in the
river, but they succeeded in crossing
without the loss of man or beast,
From that time on the pursuit of the
Beers was taken up without baggage,
the troops being supplied by foragers,
enabling them to make more rapid
movements, and keep in touch with
the republicans.

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
 Than Are Single Women.

Than Are Single Women.
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It appears that people generally are , greatly mistaken in their notion that there is an enormous surplus of Hnmar- ried women in this count. The truth Is that no such excess of spinsters= ex. ists; in fact, it is quite the other way the bachelors outnumbering the maid. ems. At the present moment there are in the United States 2,2to3000 more un- attached males than females similarly situated, tie exact figures being 5, ,427.- 767 bachelors against 3.224, 494 spin sters ot ages frem 20 years up. Thus 1t is obvious that if girls do not find I husbands t is not for lack of a plenti- ful supply of the article. What is re- quired, seemingt1, is general migra- ton of spinsters from the north and east to the great and growing west, in parts of which there are ten available mates for every maid. From the last remark, however, it must not be infer red that there is actually an excess Of unmarried women in the northern and eastern states. Even in those parts of the country there are more bachelors than spinsters 20 years old and upward. notwithstanding the theory to the con- trary so widely accepted. No state in .he union has as many maidens as bacheIors-not even Massachusetts, where the figures are 219, ,255 spinsters, against 22G.085 bachelors. Massachu- setts is the banner state for spinsters, the bachelors outnumbe~ing them by only two-tenths of 1 per cent. Next comes Rhode Island, where the excess of bachelors is ? per cent. The ex- cess of bachelors in the District of Co., lumbia is 8 per cent. in North Carolina g per cent, in New Hampshire 9 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent, in Maine 37 per cent and in Vermont 54 per cent. In Maryland the bachelor surplus is 19 per cent, in New Jersey 1t is % per cent, in New Yock it is 26 per cent and in Virginia 1t is 1z per cent. All of these are low percent. ages so far as the superiority of bache- tors in point of numbera is concerned

Flood of Fire.
 Buffalo's big exposition-=aad if only one-half she promises of the manage. ment are realized it will be ip every respect =a big affair-will be the occa- sion If what will doubtless be moat brilliant and startling electrical illU. mination. Niagara Falls will be trans , formed into flood of fire. The seeta. ing, roaring torrent will be ablaze witb all the hues of the spectrum The superlatiYe natural grandeur of the scene will be so enhanced that the projectors of the strikingIy novel en- terprise contend that its success will make the exposition an event in his 5ory. The idea is to erect a series of tall towers on both the American and Canadian sides of the river. On the Top of these loftly spires huge electric searehlights will be placed, in such manner that they may be played on any part of the falls. The imagination may picture the dazzling effect that will be produced when a score of those powerful instruments of illumination are brought to bear upon the rushing waters as they tumble irresistibly over the rocky ledge into the depths be heath. A constant change of colors will be used in the manipulation of the searehlights, so that now the fallD will be like molten silver. again q flood of crimson. again as green as old ocean itself and so on through the whole gamut of the painters palette The astonishing effect will be still fur ther heightened by the use of electric arc lights in the Cave of the Winds, which will give to the water as it falls in front of it a weird, phosphorescen glow. The power for this record making illumination will be all within easy reach, as Niagara will itself be made to do all the necessary work. This is expected to be largely a spec, tacular arrangement, but scientists hope to discover something new about the effect of light OF water, and make q careful study of the chemistry oi color. This has been done to some extent with electric fountains, but Niagara will offer an entirely new field

LAKE IN AFRICAN MOUNTAIN.
Explorer Cfrcumnaxigates the Entire
 Sheet Of Water.


 Al meeting of the Royal Geograph- ical society in London an interesting report by Poulett Weatherley on Lake BangWeulu, in central Africa, was read. The explorer eireumnavigated the entire sheet of water His party reached the lake iI August, 1896, and established a camp at the southeast efn corner, 5, ,765 feet above sea level The shores of the lake are absolutely free from shells and the water has no depth. He sounded in many places. but never found more than fifteen feet. Its surface was usually still, very strong wind raising the smallest sea- 1t appears to be nothing but flooded district. MT. Weatherley thinks 1t was formed by the water from the great watershed of the Tanganylka plateau The overflow is checked to the west and southwest by a rim of rock, but the east and southeast has no such barrier, and in that direction there is a vast swamp from twenty to forty miles in breadth The Liposochi and 3Rena to the north and the Cbambeze to the east are the chief contributors to the water supply. With twenty-five men he explored the island of M 5a. Wala, about twenty miles long and LOGO yards from the shore, and pro eeeded toward the outlet of the f.uea pula. ultimately landing at K1rui isl and. After stay of some Gfme on the Island, which they found low. beauti- fully wooded, well peopled and cult. yated, they passed on to Kisi island. This they found not a bit like the island depicted on the maps. It pre- sented q most peaceful prosperous sight and in common with the other two islands, Kirui and MbaWala. it reared q good number of sAeep-tha broad-tailed khd-and goats. The people appeared to live a life of com piete peace and eontentment. Proceed Ing in northerly direction. the party reached the extreme north-noathwest corner of the lake Continuing their journey along the coast. they diseov- cred narrow peninsula stretching Sorth and south, having on the west E sheet of water abuut three miles in width, which extends the whole length of Rangweulu north and south, but is always separated from the lake by tn~ 1sthmus.
