ON HER METTLE.
England Will Tolerate No Interior
ence From Any Quarter.

New York, March IA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
DR.. Jameson was down with enteric
fever and critically i'll when Ladysmith
ceiVed here by a prominent South Afri-
can states that he has rallied and is
likely to recover. DR.. jameson was
anxious to have a military command in
the campaign but as the leader OF the
raid he was excluded form the service
for political reasons and was not well
coined when he arrived at Ladysmith
few days before the investment of the
town. His opportunity came. When the
garrison was fever stricken he reverted
to medical practice and did ten mems
work in caring for the fever patients
and the wounded soldiers.
The peace ENJOYS who have arrived at
LOurenzO MARQUES are high officials in
the two republics. Mr.. Wolmarns is
member of the Boer executive council
and a blind follower of President
Kruger who has implicit confidence in
his fidelity While nearer forty than
fifty years old, he fought as a youth in
the first war of independence, and was
bitterly hostile to the OutlanderS and
reformers. The South Africans describe
him as an astute and crafty man who
has learned all he knows about politics
from Mr.. Kruger. Mr.. Fischer has been
state secretary of the Free States and
has exerted a strong influence over the
Dutch leaders in Cape Colony. He had
cate of peace a year ago, but President
Steyn carried him into the war and has
been faithfully served by him.
The ministers, having the moral sup
port of the united nation, are indiffer-
ent to the appeals when the Dutch re-
publics are making for foreign media
ton, whether in Europe or America
They confidently expect Lord Roberts
to go from Bloemfontein to Pretoria
and are resolute in fighting the battle
of the united empire. They will re-
gard the intervention of any European
power as an unfriendly act, precisely
as the Americans would have done at
the close of the war with Spain, when
the British government refused to med
die in what did not concern it.
There is evidently the hope on the
part of one or two European powers
that have been approached through
their consuIs at Pretoria that the Amer
lean government, which was under spe-
cial obligations to the British foreign
office during the war with Spain, will
make a serious mistake in its policy at
the present crisis, but there are no
signs that the state department has any
intention of thrusting its services upon
a British government which is satisfied
with the present work of Lord Roberts
as a capable and efficient diplomatist.

CHURCH MEMBERS HELP.
Mr.. sheldon's Church Inaugurates
Fraternal Movement For Com
muuicauts

A fraternaI beneficiary organization
to pay sick benefits, funeral expenses,
and to make small loans without inter-
est to members, is a new feature in
Kansas churches which has been in
augurated by the Central Congrega-
tiOnal church, Mr.. Sheldon's church.
At the request of Central church a
committee was appointed at the last
general assembly of the Congre gational
churches of Kansas to formulate a plan
mittee is now at work.
The Brotherhood of st. Paul, a new
organization in the Methodist Episco-
pal church has a feature of this kind
in its chapters in the east. but it has
never been put into effect in the chap
ters in Kansas, so that this move on
the part of the COngregationalists will
be the first of the kind in the state.
1t is the design of the organization
to aid its members in much the same
way that lodges do, but there will be no
expense in connection with the conduct
of the organization. There will be no
rent nor salaries to pay, so that there
will be no dues for these purposes. As
sessments will be made which will go
into a general banking fund, and from
this will be paid the sick benefits, small
loans will be made. and members will
be otherwise assisted.
1t is the intention TO make the organ
iZatiOn INSTRUMENTATION and not
cOnfine it to the Congregational church,
church membership in good standing
being the requisite for becoming a
member in the order.

MORE THAN A BILLION.
Increase in Value of Agricultural
Products.

New York, March 1.-THE improve
ment in agricultural conditions now,
contrasting with the depth of depres-
sion in 1896. is as little appreciated
by the outside public as was the farm
ers' condition during the hard times. 1t
is conservative however. to say that
the produce of the United States farms
for the past year was worth to the
farmers over 81 500 O0O. 900 more than in
either of the depressed years noted.
This is an average advance of 81 per
cent in values compared with the low
point
These statements are made by the
American Agriculturist for March,
which contains an elaborate review of
the agricultural situation from finan-
cial and industrial standpoint. The live
stock OF the country is said to be worth
500, 000, 900 more than during the hard
times, or a gain of SO per cent. Staple
crops are worth $400, 900, 900 more than
then, while other crops show an in
crease of 5000. 0O0, 900 in value. or a gain
of % per cent compared with the de-
preston of 1916. The produce of live
stock, such as meats. dairy products
calves, mutton, sheep and lamb hides
and pelts, colts, mules etc, are said to
show a gain of 1870, 0O0, 600, or 40 per
cent above the low point.

Root Reassures Cubans.

Havana, March 14-Elihu Root. the
secretary of war in addressing the
members of the planters association
yesterday said he understood that dis
trust existed as to the carrying out of

that the American government intend
ed to fulfill every obligation, and that
the Cubans should believe and act ac-
cordingly. The editor of Ell Dia, at
Caibarien was recently attacked by a
crowd of sponge fishers. who attempt

HOW HE VOTED.
Councilman Morgan Misrepresented
by Council Minutes.

Heretofore the reading of the min
utes in council meetings has been omit
ted, but it will be done carefully in the
future. The change has been brought
about by discovery made by Council
man Morgan. Mr.. Morgan has found
that that he was recorded as voting in
favor Of a certain ordinance, when as
matter Of fact he was violently opposed
to 1t.
The ordinance in question was the poll
tax ordinance, which was passed sew
eral weeks ago. Mr.. Morgan opposed it
vigorously all the way through. but
In some way or other his vote is re-
corded in the affirmative on the final
passage of the ordinance. He does not
know whether City Clerk Squires mis-
understood him or whether he mad
vertently voted wrong at the time.
When the clerk started to read the
minutes at the last meeting Of the
council, and the usual motion was
made that the reading be dispensed
with, Mr. Morgan brought his reforma-
ton guns into action. He demanded
that the minutes be read hereafter, in

tiCns from the American ambassador

Daddy Woods an aged colored man
who lived in a Squalid shanty on the
bank of the river, to go to the poor
farm. I have tried to induce him to go
for more than a year, but he has always
refused. He lived in the worst place l
ever saw. and he has suffered constant
ly for food and fuel. 1 don't see how a
human being could live in such a place.
I gave him a bar of soap and a clean

w. H. Caldwell, of Topeka, formerly

Sheldon pushes the India scheme. Why

look away over into India, when with
no spectac1es he could see Mrs. Thorpe
and learn of direful suffering right here
in Topeka This morning he prints a
picture showing the horrors of the Phil
ippine war, and is silent as an oyster
on the war that aristocratic England is
waging to blot out a peaceable republic,
which, l suppose, when accomplished,
will appeal to us of America to help the
starving new subjects of England. In
stead of appealing to US for aid for
starving India, why does not Mr.. Shell
don demand that England shall cease
spending money and blood to subju-
gate the Beers and send some Of her
wealth to this country to buy our food
for her starving subjects in India?"

establish a provisional government and
then take a plebescite.
Major Francis declared that Viscount
Ouropreto, Generals Cantuaria and
Piragibe and Admirals Mello and Wan
denkolk were concerned in the con-
spiracy.
