ENGLAND'S HEAVY BURDEN.
Secretary Brodrick Gives Facts
About south Africa-kitchener Has
m Free Hand.

London, Oct. 10.-The secretary of
war, Mr.. Brodrick, replying to Sir
Charles Howard Vincent's offer to
raise fresh troops or do anything else
to assist the government, declines the
proposal and, in doing so, lengthily
reviews the British position in South
Africa, obviously in answer to the per-
sistent and searching criticisms of the
ministerial journals and members of
Parliament that the government is
languidly content to let the war drag
on. Mr.. Brodrick says to begin with,
that nothing Lord Kitchener has asked
for has not been promptly met. He
adds:
''We have, roughly. 100000 men and
450 guns in South Africa, and over
100000 men are under training at home
We have no difficulty, therefore. in
keeping the field army up to its requi
site strength, by drafts, and if a fur
ther call be made we are in position
to meet it with the utmost prompti-
tude. Notwithstanding this. there
seems to be an impression abroad that
the close of the war is retarded by a
scarcity or troops, or the want of
mobility of our columns
This impression Mr.. Brodrick COM
bats by reciting what the war office
is doing, providing supplies for 314, 900
persons, directly or indirectly connect
ed with the war. feeding 24S000 horses
and mules, and maintaining four
months reserves of food for men and
animals. Sixty nine mobile columns,
perfectly equipped, are now in the field,
and ten thousand remounts are being
landed monthly, besides those cap
| tured.
Mr.. Brodrick says the anxiety can
be set at rest at home. The govern
ment has never .interfered with Lord
| kitchener, in whose vigorous prose-
cution of the war they have entire con-
tidence. He points again to the vast
| extent of the country
Aliuding to Lord Kitchener's sending
back poorly trained yeomanry, Mr..
Erodrick replies that they would have
been trained earlier but for the opin-
ion OF military advisers in South Africa
and at home, up to November 1900, that
no fiesA troops were needed.

VENEZUELA IN HOT WATER.
Mob Attacks German Sailors and
Wounds Petty Officers.


Port Of Spain. Trinidad, Oct. TO-
The British royal mail steamer Eden
arrived here to-day from Laguira, Ven
ezuela, and brought the following re-
liable story:
Last Sunday night about fifty sail
ors from the German cruiser Vineta
became engaged in street row at Por-
to Cabello with the local populace. .Po-
lice in civilian clothes interfered, sid
ing with the inhabitants, and the fight
became general, the Germans making
their way toward the wharf, where
they boarded the German steamer Va
lesia, moored at that place.
In the meantime two petty officers
OF the Vineta, who were entirely sober
and who were waiting at the wharf
to take the Vineta's boat were
attacked BY the police. They
resisted and the police wounded them
both badly with their swords. All the
Germans ashore were unarmed. The
wounded petty officers were received on
board the Valesia by members of the
Valesia's crew, the populace and po-
lice still attacking them with stones
and sticks. The mob then tried to
board the Valesia, but were prevented
from so doing by the captain and crew
of that vessel. In the meanwhile the
captain of the Valesia had signalled to
the Vineta, which was in the harbor,
the perilous situation of the Germans,
and the Vineta sent a boat load of
thirty armed men, who boarded the
Valesia, and making a feint of firing,
dispersed the mob.
1T is said that the Venezuelan gov
ernment is putting the blame for the
affair upon the Germans, and has re-
quested the German minister to apollo
gize for the sailors conduct.
''It is believed at Caracas that the
German minister intends to ask Vene-
zuela to apologize"

of the city convention and ratifies the

of the platform reads:
"The issue in this campaign Is
whether the Republican party, con-
trolled by Thomas c. Platt, shall gov
| ern the city of New York, or whether
the city shall continue to be governed
by Democrats. Seth Low is Repub-
! lican; Edward NJ. Shepard is a Demo-

I'VE favor a liberal construction of
the excise laws. We want for district
attorney of this county a man who
will prosecute all offenders against the
law. but will not use his Office for po-
litical partisan purposes to prosecute
innocent people and attempt to terro-
ize public officials and private citi-
zens."
Another declares:
1--WE denounce as an infamous par
! tisan crime against home rule the leg
islation visited upon the metropolis by
| successive Republican Legislatures as
a punishment for the Democratic pref
erences of our citizens"

SHE TOLD TWO STORIES.
Mrs. Carroll Made Poor Explanation
of Tragedy I'm Her Room.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Mrs. Lucy H.
Carroll, who lived with her father at
76 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn, was
shot and seriously wounded at her
home early this morning by a man
known as Capt. John B. Nelson. The
woman was shot three times. Nelson
then shot himself in the right temple
and died instantly. Mrs. Carroll told
the police that she did not know the
man who had shot her.
Il was awakened" said Mrs. Car
roll, by seeing man in my room.
was much alarmed and cried: What
do you want here?' Without reply the
intruder drew a revolver and fired
three times and then turned and shot
himself. l do not know him, nor can
1 imagine why he should have entered
my rooms"
The police found a portrait of Neil
son in Mrs. CarrolPs room. and when
she was told of this she said she had
known Nelson for some time, that he
had paid her much attention and had
been very jealous recently. Nelson
was about 35 years of age and was at
one time a sea captain. Mrs. Carroll
is about 30 years old. Her father.
whose name is Kornder. is a dry goods
merchant with a place of business in
Brooklyn.
According to the police the woman's
husband enlisted year or more ago
in the United States engineering corps.
About the same time Nelson secured
a place on one of the United States
army transports, and it is said came
back a third officer. He had performed
service on the transports Cante and
Arathusa and had sailed as second
officer on the steamship Givonne. Up
on his rteurn from his first trip to
the Philippines he carried a letter of
introduction to Mrs. Carroll from her
husband, and from that time on be-
came a visitor at the parents home.

A Link Story in Dialect.
From the Scotsman.


Such a demand for caddies has arisen at
North Berwick that very few are now
found to do anything in the fishing line,
for they can earn their bread easier on the
golf course. During the recent visit of the
Oxford and Cambridge Society to the course
the demand for caddies was greater than
ever, and every man was commandeered
from the harbor to carry clubs. A left
handed Englishman had to content himself
with one of the very rawest of these raw
recruits, who made a bunker for a tee and
made no distinction between a niblick and
a putter when he found his employer in a
bunker. This did not improve the English
mans play, which to begin with was of an
inferior order. After an unusually futile
sclaf he turned to his raw fisherman cad
die with mixed look of menace and pity
and demanded some explanation of his fail
ure. "Weel, SIR" replied the recruit 80
dinna ken sac muckle aboot gowff as 1 do
aboot haddies an flukes, but in my opeen-
Ion, sir, We aye stan on the wrang side o
the ba'. :"
