The Lance in Warfare.
.lNeW Orleans Times-Demorat. !

A young lawyer of this city, who takes
strong interest in military matters, tells
rather an amusing story at his own ex-
pense- I was smoking a quiet cigar in
the st. Charles corridor one evening a
couple of weeks ago." he says, when
fell into casual conversation with a mid

accent at once proclaimed him to be Eng

BOer war. and Ventured to say that the
British troops, while undoubtedly mag
nlncent soldiers, were having an entirely
new experience in engaging Il civilized
enemy and had consequently suffered
from over confidence. They didn't realize
the vast difference between q lance and a.

he replied. General Kitchener had di-
vision of lancers in the last SOudan cam
paign and they tried their steel more than
once With that he changed the subject
and presently we parted. OF course my
comments showed my total ignorance of

gentleman was Major ENowle. who led
a battalion of tht Twenty-irst Lance in
its famous charge against the dervisheS
at the battle of 'Omdurman last spring.
The major Is one of the British officers
sent here to loOl after the mule ship

Kansas City, Mo-. March Mr.. John
Dillon. Irish leader In the English par
lament. was invited 10 send a message
to be read at the recent banquet of the
Marquette club in this city, which de-
veloped enthusiastic Boer sentiment. Mr.
Dillon's reply, which was delayed in
transit, has just been made public Il
is dated Dublin, Feb. 2, and says, in
part:
I'm Ireland we regard the war now
being waged by the British government
against the TWO republics of South Africa
as the most unjust, criminal and cow
ardly war of the century. In order TO
deceive liberal opinion in Great Britain
and abroad, a preteXt was put forward
that the object of the attacks on the
republics was 10 secure equal rights for
the OutldnderS. The falsity of the pre-
text has been exposed by the fact that
Outlan2ars or all races except English
are lighting in the armies of the two re-
pubics. To use the words of Secretary
Keitz, in his great manifesto TO the Free
Staters, according to the colonial secre-
tary, England has constituted herself
champion of all the OuIlanders. And
what do we find? On the borders, side
by side with the burghers, we find these
same Outlanders in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Irlshmen,, frenchmen, Belgians and
even EngiiShmen-ready to lay down their
lives in order to rid themselves of their
Self-constituted champion
All the civilized world now sees that
the real object Of this conspiracy and
war against the republics of South At
RIGA is to deprive the republics OF their
liberty, TO steal their gold gnines, to in
crease dividends by reducing the wages
OF labor in johannesburg and to estalb-
hsh the ascendancy of the English race
over all other races in South Africa. Was
war ever urged for such infamous OBJ
Jects?
In pursuance of this conspiracy
against the liberties of South Africa the
press in Great Britain and South Africa
which is financed or controlled by spec
ulators and mine owners, who are chiefly
responsible for the war, has assaiIed the
Boer people with a torrent of calumnieS
and hes unparalleled in human memory
The irish people, who know from eX-
perience the bitter fruits of race ascend
ancy and the denial of liberty, stand to-
day for liberty and justice in South At
RIGA as they stood in 1775 for liberty and
justice IN America, and We look with
commence to the citizens of that great :
est OF republics, which throughout the
nineteenth century has been the Mecca
OF all lovers of liberty and the refuge
OF the oppressed, to extend its sympathy
and ah-powerfUl aid to the small peoples
who are fighting with splendid herOism to
vindlcate in South Africa today the same
principles which your ancestors fought
Tor and died for in the great war which
gave freedom to America

Nashville, Tenn, March 4.-Colonel
Frank NJ. Fardenshire, well known
over the state. has just returned from a
trip to Havana. In an interview, ne
said:
IN my opinion, there wilfbe serious
trouble in Havana on the day of the

authorities, so per cent of the voters

. Voters must be able to read and
write and own $3.50 worth of property.
This rule was advocated by the Span

shuts out. the average run of natives,

Coal and iron shares have also SUI

ACCIDENTS TO BANKNOTES
Used as Gas Lighters and Boiled
With Cabbage.
washington Star


While it cannot be stated that it is
an American habit to light lamps and
gas with money" explained an official
of the redemption division of the treas
ury department to a Star reporter,
there are a number who appear act
uaEy to have money to burn, and who
now and then burn it There are more
money burners. too. than come to the
front and demand redemption of their
partly destroyed money. for some peO-
pie hesitate before they are willing to
appear in such an indefensfble position.
don't want to be understood as stat
ing that il occurs every day, for that
would probably be stretching il some
What, but il is a fact that il occurs
many more times than would be sup
posed. a case of the kind came to the
division last week where a fellow light
ed match at the door Of his room,
and from that lighted what he sup
posed was a piece Of paper which he
had in his pocket. He started with the
lighted paper TO find the gas jet. He
found it, and as he blew out his lighted
paper he ascertained, TO his surprise
and disgust, that his taper was a SO
bill, more than ene-half of which had
been burned In his communication to
the secretary of the treasury, to whom
he was advised TO write, he admitted
that he was a fool and deserved a kick
instead of anything else, but said as
grass was rather short with him he
would have to appeal for redemption.
He furnished the necessary aftldaVitS
which. under the law, have to be flied
in such cases, and q new bill was sent
him for the half-burned note which he
sent in for redemption. Lots Of times
people burn money, but make no
claim for redemption, supposing that
they have no redress in the matter.
But the treasury department does not,
as rule, hunt up trouble. so, unless
the claim is made, none Is suggested.
Il had case somewhat in the zane
line recently. and there are frequent
similar occurrences, as where a s. dog
puppy ate up twO-thirds of s. note
The pup was Of a playful disposition,
wrote the man VINO owned il, and,
though I saw him playing with the
note, I did not recognize il as money.
But he won't play any more in my
back yard Later on, when the puppy
got tired playing with it, the owner dis
covered that the dog had been amusing
himself with a note which had, by ac-
cident, fallen on the floor. The affidavits
in the case were very amusing. but the
man got his remnant Of a note redeem
ed at it's full value. The lamp and gas
lighting people are by great odds in
the majority Out Of a number of such
cases the percentage of women suf-
ferers is so small that it can almost
be said they 6oa't lose money by using
il IS lighters. I knew Of a woman Whl
boiled almost out Of existence several
bills which, by some means, got in the
folds of the leaves of a head of cab
bage. The money dropped into her
basket on her way back from the mar
ket. The notes were pretty well wreck
ed. for the cabbage was being cut up
when they were discovered. but there
was enough left on which to base a re-
demption."

GERMAN NEAT BILL.
Retaliation on Fart of United States
Would Injure That Country.

Berlin, March 4.-Regarding the report
caoled from Washington that Secretary
Hay has received assurance from the
German government that the meat bill

sador White said today that he had no
information to confirm il, but that he
expected his assurances would be given
Inc executive committee of the Ger
many commercial convention yesterday
adopted unanimously a resolution againSt

declaring that such a prohibition of meat
imports would considerably injure meat
consumption on the part Of a large sec
non OF the nation. especially the indus
trial masses. The protest concludes as
IollOWS: We protest on behalf of the
industry. of the commerce and shipping
of the German fatherland."
The influential Weser Zeitung points out
forcibly that the meat imports, at a con-
serVatlVe estimate. amount to only 10. 900 =
20 marks, whereas the exports 10 the
United States reach 100000 marks. an

hibition of the bill. II says:

German trade with the United States.
Moreover, the Americans themselves
would develop those industries which
Germany now supplies"

He FORETELLS ITS DOWNFALL
PRESIDENT JORDAN THINKS
BRITAIN ON THE DECLINE.
British Of Today Are Mere Shadow
In Point of Brain and Drawn Of
Their Forefathers.

Chicago, March 4-President David
versity. Of California, lectured at All
Souls church today, speaking to a
large audience on THE Blood of a
Nation"
He said that the present century
would witness the downfall of Great
Britain He declared that ultimately
the people Of South Africa would have
their freedom.
The speaker, in emphatic terms, as
serted that the present inhabitants of
Great Britain were a mere shadow of
their fOrefathers in point of brains and
health. Mr.. Jordan thinks that a ma
ton that POUNDS its destiny on war
must reach a speedy decay. He said a
great war saps the vitality of the best
blood OF the nation.
Mr.. Jordan deprecated the fact that
so'many of the best youths of a nation
are killed during times of war. He re-
marked that this accounted for the eX-
istence Of a weak nation, both men
tally and physically. The speaker de-
clared that France, more than any
other great nation, had deteriOrated.
He said war, more than any other
thing, had contributed to this sorrow
full condition. Among other things, he
said:
i think war, more than any other
agency, destroys the vitality of a ma
ton. Take, for instance, the present
BritiSh-BOer war. The best representa-
tiyes of both countries are now on the
field of battle. War not only makes
widows, but it prevents many mar
riageS. 1 am certainly of the opinion
that war is a curse on any nation, I'M
less it is the result of a fight for free
dom. Such a thing as carrying on a
war for the sake of encouraging i'm
perialistic ideas viii wreck, sooner or
later, nation that tries such a
scheme"

AMBULANCEs NEEDED.
Princess Salm-Salm Says War Isn't
Near Over.

Chicago, March 4-Princess Agnes
Salm- Salm arrived in Chicago today
and went to the residence of her
nephew, Edward Mendel.
My object" she said, sis to interest
humane and wealthy people in fitting
out one of more ambulance corps. Each
corps should have at least ten doctors,
trained nurses and a liberal quantity
of hospital supplies. Some people seem
to think that the war in South Africa
is practically ended, but that is a great
mistake. I believe il will last for d
considerable time-that, in fact, it is
Just beginning. Personally, my sympa-
thies are on the side of the Beers, but,
of course, that has nothing whatever
to do with my humanitarian work
Il am not a novice in hospital work.

war and the war in Mexico, l had am

MALICIOUS, SAYS WILSON.
Denies That Cubans Are Going to
Make a Row.

Matanzas, Cuba, March 4.-Generai
James H. Wilson, military governor of
the department Of Matanzas-S Santa
Clara, in the course Of an interview to-
Gay, said to the correspondent of the
Associated Press:
Trouble is absolutely out of the
question. The future depends largely
upon the agricultural prosperity, and
where work is plentiful, wages are good
and country is prosperous, no sensible
man wishes 10 alter conditions.
ANY person who publishes reports
representing the CUbans as preparing
rising does so with malicious intent
to misrepresent them, or because he
has been led to believe this by those
who know better. The prospects of
Cuba are very bright. If sugar goes
to the United States free, or nearly so,
there viii be such an influx Of capital
and OF immigrants as would render
Cuba, ere long, one Of the richest and
most prosperous places in the world
The best the United States can do
for Cuba and the Cubans is to give
every opportunity for improving the
value of the land by putting It to the
best uses In this way capital could do
an immense amount of good here as
well as obtain large returns
General Wilson suggests supplying
cattle for working purposes On a time
basis, accepting regular rates OF in
terest. which should be about per cent
a month.
Cattle" says he. "caa be landed here
at cost of SO a yoke, which. once here.
would bring more than $780, Large
numbers of working cattle are required
by reliable and hard working men, who
are anxious to obtain them"

Chicago, March AT a banquet given
last night by the Princeton club of Chi
caSo, President Francis L. Patton, one
OF the guests of honor, made an inter-

next great thing for Princeton 10 do is
to develop d graduate department. and
that there should be a first-class school
OF law in connection with the university.
The social question, the one relating
especially to What shall We do with
these peopleT WAS one that was now
pressing the American people and there
should be a course for the training of
minds for the solving of it, That the
subject of international law and diplo-
macy was one with which the best minds
or america were now wrestling. and that
II seemed TO him the proper course for
Princeton TO take was to provide instruc-
