| London, February 23.-4 q. IN. General
Cronjs is seemingly making his last
stand. lie Ia dying hard hemmed In py
British infantry with shells from hfty
guns falling Into his camp. On the third
day of the fight the Boer chief asked for
an armistics to bury his dead. flight TO
a finish or surrender Internationally"
wns Lord Kitohensr's reply. General
| Cronje Immediately sent hack word that
his request for truce had been misun-
derstood, and that his determinations then
as before was to fight to the death.
The battle went on. This was the
81 tuation Of General Cronje Tuesday eve
ming, as skstched In the soanty kilograms
that have emerged from the semi-silenoe
OF South Africa.
Officially Lord Roberts wires that he
has scattered the advance commandoes OF
the reinforoements that were striving to
reach General Cronje. 1t is regarded as
singular that Lord Roberts, wiring We'd

good news II 1t has any.
without trying to reconcile even the
scapty matsrials at hand, 1t seems plain
that General Cronje is In bad. and even
desperate situation and that the British
ars pressing their advantage While the
attack on General Cronje proceeds. there
is q raoe for concentration between tie
Beers and the British. The engagement
with General CronJe's i've thousand 60
eight thousand entrsnohed men is likely
to become an incident In a battle between
the masses. The separated factions OF the
Bosr power are rapidly drawing together
to attack Lord Roberts.
VIII General Cronjs be able to hold out
until the Boer masses appear or, II he
does. viii they then be able to suooor
him, The British are facing the Beers ON
ground whore the arms. taotics and train
ing of the British are expected TO give
them the advantage.
General Butler. according to . despatch
from Chisveisy dated Wednesday, finds
the Beers in positions north Of the Tugsls
largely reinforced. This seems strange.
The war Office for the first tims has given
out an official compilation Of the British

This does not include, therefore, Lore
Roberts recent losses, nor the Wiltshire
prisoners.
| The press association learns that the
| British losses at Koodoosrand were seven
hundred.
Three thousand fresh troops will en-
bark for South Africa today. The relative
position Of the oom batants is llkened to
chess players. one Of whom, from time to
time, adds pieces to the board, While any
loss to the adversary Is irreplaoeable.
The morning papers aliuds to the
thoughtfulness Of Lord Roberts In send
ing despatch to the Earl OF Mimic, the
Canadian governor general.
The military critic of the Times urges
the continuance of efforts to send more
troops to South Africa, SO as TO be ready
for the many difficulties that mutt be
surmounted even after Lord Roberts has
succeeded against General Cronje. He
adds: "The splendid spirit shown In
Canada which has just received the first
news of losses incurred in ths cause Of
the empire should serve to impel as to
greater exertions."

LITERARY NOTES.
ANDREW CARNEGIE ON TRUSTS.

ANDREW CAhNEGlE ON TRUSTS.
A director of the Standard Oil Com
pany has recently published in The
Independent an article declaring trusts
to be good for the workingman. To
the May Century, Andrew Carnegie of
the Carnegie Company, which rivals the
Standard Oil for first place among the
worlds great corporations, will contri-
butte an essay taking the same ground.
In this article, which bears the title
Popular Illusions about Trusts" the
great steel manufacturer argues that
the evils Of trusts are generally self.
corrective; that no trust can live long
unless it secures a virtual monopoly of
the commodity it deals in; and that
"the only people who have reason to
fear trusts are those who trust them"
In the same magazine 1.-THE Real Dang
or OF Trusts, their menace to the in
dependence Of the individual and the
state-will be pointed out in a vigorous
editorial.

The Philadelphia Civics club. made
up Of women, has a lovely room in

Wouldn't it be beautiful if mems clubs
would provide similar stowaway for
women? Now. if we must call at q mans
club, We are obliged to stand around
and be stared at in halls or wander out
and wait On sidewalks"
The women spplauded as il they were
in earnest.
Mrs. Ira G. Wood, president Of the
Wednesday club. thought the ideal club
would be that which shared intellectual
and literary life with men. I'VE are
leaving men nothing but the prosaic,"
che said.
THAT makes me think Of young
man l met the other day who dreaded
looking into the future" said Mrs. Pen.
oyer Sherman. president Of the Wo-
mans club. He said to me, Men give
their lives to their work because they
want their wives to have all the COM
forts of home. The wives are at clubs
studying, advancing. Tell me what the
result will be in a few years. The wo-
men will have gone far ahead Of the
men. They will respect US less; We will
respect ourselves less"
Then Miss Lillian Gillett. president Of
the Young Fortnightly, got up with:
"Only yesterday l asked Professor
of the university, Have you met Mrs.
Blank of Michigan avenue? oh, yes.

"You needn't fear that man cannot
keep intellectual pace with a woman.
He gets schooling daily that cannot
come to her. He can hold his OVID"
said Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers.
II should like to see mems and wo-
mems clubs joined together" said Mrs.
Gertrude Beck of the Business Women's
association. II should like to have
fathers teach their sons the art of mar
rying 90 as to check the rush of women
into business"
remember many years ago when the
first woman's club was organized in
Chicago" went on Mrs. Henrotin. "We
asked our husbands il We might join.
They said yes, but can't you call it some.
thing else besides q club? We never
discussed politics, equal suffrage and
religion. We talked together Of Greece
and Rome. We were almost afraid Of
one another, but now since this great
revolution of women there is change
from the sense Of exclusion to one Of
inclusion"
We should be careful Of our club
membership" said Mrs. Cyrus McCor-
mick. EVERY member should be an
active one. Idleness kills all interest.
The ideal club quickens the conscience,
wideps the sympathies and stimulates
ambition"
"Women's clubs have made women
part of the world" said Mrs. Rogers.
I'VE have share in bringing the king.
dom on earth. l think the coming of
the kingdom has Jagged because it has
been q one-sided affair."
A woman within pale-green waist
said that many clubs were organized
