London, Dec. 28.-During the con-

South Africa, the papers are filed with
letters and articles criticisng the gov
ernment and the campaign and suggest
ing remedies, improvements, alterations
in the plans and the like. The Times
complains of censorship and concealment.

Another killing.
Cowboy Near Chinook Shoots a
SheephCrder, Name I'm
known.

News from Chinook tells of the killing
of sheepherder at,Cow creek by cow
boy named Irving. The herder's name
cannot be learned, but it is said that the
latter drove his sheep on Irving's range
and a quarrel ensued, the herder, who
was carrying a Winchester, making an
attempt to cover the cowboy with his
gun. Irving was too quick for him
however, and pulled his revolver, shoot
ing and instantly killing the herder.
Irving gave himself up, telling the above
story.-Leader.

The dispatches from the front all rep
resent the Beers as ina nervous condi
ton and in constant dread of the British
alvance, but this is probably an exagger-
alton
The Modder river correspondent of the
Daily Mail gives an explanation of sud
den rifle fire inexplicably opened from
the Boer trenches. He says:
The Beers have wires stretched along
the ground in front of the trenches and
connected with lamps. If a wire be
touched, lamp is extinguished, thus
giving warning. One night hind ex-
tinguished lamp, which resulted in a
false warning. The fire ceased when the
Beers discovered the alarm was false.
The correspondent of the Daily News
at trere Camp announces that tram
way is being constructed from the rail
way to hill commanding the Boer posi-
ton and that along this the British will
convey heavy guns,

Continental Officers.

London, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Daily Mali from Pietermaritzburg says:
Every day reveals some new facts re-
garding the strength of the Boer position
at Colenso. Thanks to the services of
continental officers, the character of the
campaign has changed. We are no
longer fighting foe who relies upon
guerilla tactics, but we have to deal with
what is rapidly becoming disciplined
army, enjoying the advantage of know
ing the country and selecting the scene
of contest, without the burdens of cum
berSome commissariat.
The Beers have converted the hills
near Colenso into fortresses of immense
strength, Everywhere they have
splendid trenches, many of immense
strength, and boom proof. Tramway
lines permit the shifting of guns with
astonishing rapidity. The main positions
are connected with the outlying positions
by underground passages, and the forts
proper bristle with machine guns that
command the approaches. Probably
mines are laid

Evasive Beers.

The English people are getting rather
tired of the way the Beers manage to
drag out the campaigning in South Afri.
ca, and complaint is becoming general in
London. De Vets escape frcIn the Brit
ish daily looks more probable. His force
is supposed to number 1900. and burghers
are continually joining him from the east,
many of them being men who have taken
the oath of neutrality. Kitchener and Me.
thuen were trying to get him in a trap,
but he succeeded in crossing the Vaal Riv.
or at De Vets Drift, and evading Me-
thuen, although attacked by him, and is
now pursued ut the head by Methuen and
at the rear by Kitchener. Delarey defeat
ed Gen. Darlington in a rear-guard action
and captured 800 men in garrison at
Glands River camp, as well as earlier
caused the evacuation by the British of
three towns west of Pretoria. De Wet is
now endeayorng TO join him. The situa-
tion is not very clear, owing to the news
coming in driblets and lacking authentic
detail.
The National tribune., 1900-08-16

The reported choice Of the German
Field Marshal, Count Won Waldersee, for
Commander-in-C Chief OF the allied forces in
China has been confirmed. This choice
was something of a surprise, owing to the
fact that the Field Marshal is still In
Germany and cannot leave for China for
some days, and furthermore the German
force in China was the smallest of all the
powers concerned.
Count Alfred Won Waldersee is the lead
ing military man in Germany, having
been taught the art of war under Won
Moltke, whose chief assistant he was for
some time before the death of the old
Marshal Upon Won Moltke's demise Won
Waldersee succeeded him as Chief of the
General Staff of the Army, which position
he held until 1891. He resigned at this
time on account of a temporary misun-
derstanding with the Kaiser. He is now
Commander of the Ninth German Army
Corps and General Of Cavalry. It is
reported officially from the various Capt.
tails that his appointment is satisfactory
to the powers and was arranged personal
ly by Emperor William.
1t is understood that he enjoys the con-
fGence of the Emperor to a degree IN
equalled by any other military man in the
Empire. 1t is said that he was offered
the Chancellorship at the time Of Prince
Bismarck's resignation, but, according to
reports. his wife persuaded him not to
take the place, because he was yet too
young, and, withal, too hot-headed for a
diplomatic position. He, therefore, de-
ciined to enter into politics, but since then
has been constantly in the public eye as
a possible successor of Capriyi. He is
about 81 years old and served through
the Danish, Austrian and Franco-Prus
sian wars. His wife is an American
woman. formerly Miss Mary Esther Lee,
of New York City, who was a widow,
however, at the time of her marriage to
Count Won Waldersee.

TROOPS AT SHANGHAI.

The Chinese and the merchants at
Shanghai have been protesting against
the landing of 5000 English troops there
as precautionary measure. They say
they fear the effect on the anti-foreign
element. The United States has refused
to interfere at the request of the southern
Niceroys, not being in any mood to do so
in view of the failure Of the Imperial
Government to accede to its wishes re-
garding the continued rife attacks on the
Legations, etc, and recognizing the right
Of a nation to land troops to protect its
citizens. As to whether the movement
is wise no official comment will be made
1t is reported that the French are about
to land 1,2G0 men.

with the powers, and OF request for a
cessation of hostilities pending negoiia-
tions. This brought forth a vigorous note
from the United States Government to the
effect that it was evident that there could
be no general negotiations between China
and the powers so long as the Ministers
of the powers and the persons under thc:r
protection remain in danger, and the pow
ers could not cease the efforts for the de-
livery of their representatives except un-
der an adequate arrangement for a peace
full deliverance; that the United States
Government was ready to agree TO cease
sufficient force of the relief expedition he
permitted to enter Pekin unmolested and
escort the Ministers and residents back to
Tien Tsn.
A dispatch from Minister Conger. dated
The National tribune., 1900-08-16

Aug. A, was received on Monday, which
said:
Situation more critical, but we will
hold on until your arrival. Hope It win
be soon. Send such informa tion as you
can"
The British Minister at Pekin reported
similarly on Aug. q. adding that only 10
days rations were left.
Minister Congcr emphasizes the serious
ness of the Chinese situation last week
by cabling in cipher to the Secretary of
State regarding the Chinese insistence on
their proposition to take the Legations
out of Pekin to Iien Tsin under Chinese
escort that to leave Pckin would be GER
tain death. The Chinese Government has
been making strenuous efforts to get the
Ministers out of Pekin and has been rep
resenting to them that their Govern
ments were urging the Chinese Govern
ment TO send them, Mt the same time rep
rescnting to each Government that the
other Governments were desirOus that the
Ministers should leave Furthermore, by
various official utterances they have CON
lnued TO seek to prevent the advance of
the allies by predicting a rising in wrath
Of the Chinese people upon the approach
of the allies and the inability of the
Chinese authorities to prevent q massacre
of the Ministers and the rest of the for
eigners and other Christians in the 'for-
hidden city"
None Of the powers was misled by the
double-dealing of the Chinese officials, but

danger so strongly as Mr.. Conger has
been instructed to 90 to Tien Tsin If the

The Americans, British and Japanese

Pei-Ho and advanced on Yangtsun. The
Chinese position consisted of seven lines
Of intrenchments. The enemy fell back
from one to another until, driven from the
last, they fed, demoralized, toward Pc

Aug. 6. The combined armies have now
a base of supplies and command both the
railroad and the Pei-Ho.

Go, grandly borne, with such a train,
AS greatest kings might die to gain.

Attend thee to the grave.
And you, the soldiers of our wars.
BronZed veterans, grim with noble scars,
Salute him once again,
Your late commander-Slalnl
Yes, let your tears indignant fall, ::
But leave your muskets on the wall;
Your country needs you now
Beside the forge-the plow.
When Justice shall unsheath her brand,
Il Mercy may not stay her hand,
Nor would we have it so.
She must direct the blow)
And you. amid the master-race,
Who seem so strangely out of place,
Know We who cometh: He
Who hath declared ye free.
Bow while the body passes-nay,
Fall on your knees, and weep and pray!
Weep, weep-I would ye might
Your poor black faces white.
And, children, you must come in bands,
With garlandS in Your little hands,
OF blue. and white, and red,
To strew before the dead.
So sweetly, sadly, sternly goes
The fallen 10 his last reposc-
Beneath no mighty dome,
But in his modest home;
The churchyard where his children rest,
The ouiet spot that suits him best,
There shall his grave be made
And there his bones be laid.
And there his co1lntrymen shall come,
And memory proud, with pity dumb,
And strangers far and near,
For many and many a year.
For many year and many an age,
While History on her ample page
The virtues shall enroll -
OF that paternal soul.
