A private letter from DR.. FL. A. Gil
lette, states that he has recently pur-
chased a farm one mile from De Funiak
Springs, Florida, and ia now engaged in
putting in a crop. The farm consists of
47M acres of land with ten acres of or
chard, including peach, pear, plum and
fig trees. There is a two story house on
the place, which was originally built by
a millionaire, so that our old friends are
very comfortably situated. The doctor
has one acre of c~antaloups already rlant
ed and intends to plant another, the
fruit to be shipped to st. Louis, Louis
vile and Cincinnati. He is also raising
cassava, from which tapioca is made, and
which produces a crop OF from s to 16
tons per acre. The climate is all that
could be. desired, and cool nights are the
rule. The doctor is still troubled some
with rheumatism, but his cough has left
him.

mittee on mileage today rejected the claim
OF Brigham II. Roberts OF Utah for mileage

2,597 miles and return, al the usual rate OF
20 cents a mile each way, making a total OF

member who may seek to secure for Roberts
the $4,000 usually allowed in contested
cases. This. however. is not the committee

LONDON. Feb. 1-2.5O p. MN the
absence Of exciting war news the nati-n and
the newspapers have had time to discover
the utter lack Of relation existing between
the feeling Of the people and the temper Of
tho government as demonstrated in Parlia-
mcnt, where. instead Of relieving the grave
anxiety OF the country by the declaration Of
measures it is proposed to take in behalf Of
the national safety. the ministers continue
to demonstrate their inability to grasp the
situation by beating the air with recrimina-
tions. self-accusatory defense and chickering's
as to the degree of responsibility attachable
to the respective departments Of the govern
mont. The disgust, almost despair. uoticea-
bic on all sides. is voiced by the ultra
ministerial organ. the Globe, which says:
The heart Of the empire seems paralyzed.
while its cXtremities are in full visor. Thus
far only one statesman in the front rank
has struck the right note and that is Lord
Rosebery."

officer, formerly Of the Tweuty-second Ger

ALARMED OVER COAL SUPPLY
Heavy shipments Abroad Attract
Attention in Great
Britain.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The announcement that
a firm OF Cardiff coal shippers has con-
tracted to supply foreign agents with 400
GOO tons of steam coal for shipment abroad
has occasioned genuine uneasiness. The
destination of the fuel is not mentioned,
hut as coal at present is exceptionally
scarce in Germany, France and Russia, it
is probably going to one OF these countries.
France is already replacing its home de-
ficiency by buying in the United States, but
the American shipments are intended solely
for railroad locomotives and will not be
used in the navy. The vital interest which
the question has for Great Britain will be
understood when it is realized that Natal
is depending on Wales for coal for the
numerous transports that have gone to Dur
ban, because the colonial coal fields have
been closed by the war. 1t is pointed out
that it would be a good move on the part
OF the Beers TO drain the full resources of
Great Britain in this manner, and in the
event Of sudden demands the British navy
would be perilously crippled by the loss
OF so much coal. Some of the newspapers
advocate the government placing an en-
barge on such transactions in time of war.

Statement that Burghers' Military

LONDON, Feb. lin the House OF Com
mons today the government parted most of
the questions in regard to the war in South
Africa. Mr.. Wyndham, the parliamentary
under secretary Of state for war, maintained
that the information furnished by the in
telligence department was generally accurate
and that in regard to the forces
remaining in the United Kingdom would be
included in the statement which the govern
ment would make shortly. Relative to the
speech by General Lord Wolseley. the COM
mander-in-chie explaining the British re
verses in South Africa, Wyndham said Cen
eral Wolseley merely intends to convey the
impression that the military qualities shown
by the Beers were OF a higher order than
had been anticipated. At this remark the
Irish members cheered. Asked II he had
any war news to communicate to the house,
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader and
first lord Of the treasury, replied in the
negative.
