Altboqgh an admission was charged,

There were 800 people on the stage

greeted him He said In part:
However men may differ about the
invasion of the South African repub-
lies, all are agreed that the restoration
of peace is in the highest degree desir-
able. Their are but two ways in
which the war can be terminated-eith-
er the Boers must surrender or the
English government must abandon the
attempt to sUbdue them. It Is quite
generally assumed that the resistance
Of the Boers cannot be successful. and
il this be true they would not be justi-
fled in continuing n struggle which in
wolves fruitlsse loss of life and waste
of property. even though the losses in
flicted on their enemy were tenfold
greater than what they suffered them
selves, for blOodshed is useless and is

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT
ON CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES

Washington. Dec. 10.-The first an
nual report of General Chaffee, mill
tary governor of the Philippines, sums
up the situation there from military
point of view by stating that the prov
inces of Batau gas and La Guna, in Lu-
Zon, and the islands of Samar. Man
dora, Cebu and Bohol. constitute the
area now disturbed by any embodied
force Of Insurgents.
He says that TO the physical charac-
warfare of the rebels, who are amigo
and foe in the selfsame hour, to the hui
manity Of the troops, which Is taken
advantage of by the rebels and the
Inhabitants who sympathize with
them, and to the fear of assassination
on the part of the friendly disposed
If they give information to the Ameri-
can forces. Is due the prolongation of
the guerilla warfare.
Commenting upon the plan of grad
ually replacing military with civil ad-
mimstration, General Chaffee says:
1.-The withdrawal of interference with
civil affairs does not contemplate with
drawal of the troops from their sta
tions to any considerable extent; on
tue contrary, lulS Siloulu uot Ue uoue
hastily. and when undertaken should
be gradual and more in the nature of
concentration than reduction of force
or abandonment of any considerable
area of territory"
He therefore recommends that there
be no further material reduction of
troops before January. 1903. The gov
ernments which are being organized
provincial and municipal-General
Chaffee says. are both new and untried,
and there is but one certain and relia-
BILE method of ascertaining the progress
of the Filipinos in elf-government,
namely, observation by the army On
the subject Of the military government
of the city of Manila General Chafr ee
says:
"In the government of Manila for
three years, II the military have done
nothing more. 1t is everywhere apparent
that an excellent foundation has been
laid and turbulent and hostile com
munity brought to observe the laws
and individually be orderly; this has
been done without undue harshness OF
The Holly chieftain., 1901-12-13

But is it true that the resistance Of
the Beers Is hopeless? Since the fall
Of Pretoria it certainly has not been
fruitless; 1t has been justified by most
important results. Lord Salisbury Q
position that nothing but absolute sur
render would be considered has been
abandoned, and to-day the burghers
could secure almost any terms short of
complete Acknowledgement of their in
dependence. AS their resistance has not
been fruitless, neither is their struggle
for independence hopeless. On the con-
trary, If their resistance be prolonged
for few months. the abandonment OF
the struggle to subdue them By Great
Britain Is inevitable.
Providence has so ordered events
that the President of the United States
can conclude this bitter quarrel. 1t is
an extraordinary opportunity offered to
an extraordinary man. 1t would not
be necessary to draw the sword, to
make and threat of armed Intervention,
or to take an unfriendly attitude. One
word spoken to the English ambassa,
dor or in the hearing of the English na-
ton, would restore peace, establish JUS
'tice, secure liberty to these burghers,
promote enormously the prosperity of
the human race and bring immeasure-
able glory to the American nation.
Will that word De spoken? Never in
history has such momentaus results
hung on the lips of human being
Will Theodore Roosevelt improve this
opportunity for himself, his country
and the whole human race"
Resolutions We're adopted petitionine
the President that the treaty of Wash
ington, Of May 8. 1871, be strictly en-.
forced and that the use Of American
ports and waters be fheneeforth denied
to vessels operating under British char
ter for the augmentation Of supplies of
war; and that the President of the
United States will employ every posi-
ble means to bring to an end the hor-
rors of concentration camps and n war
fare which by its unexampled ferocity
and enormous cost of life and
treasure has 1tstonished the civil
lied world.

CARNEGIE'S MILLIONS

Washington, Dec. 10.-The Post this
morning says:
President Roosevelt has received a
letter from Andrew Carnegie in which
the latter offers to make donation Of
$1O,OOO,O0O to the United States. The
letter will be referrerd to Congress by

Mr.. Carnegie's gift Is for the purpose
of establishing in Washington univer-
sity for higher education. As far as
his idea has been developed 1t proposes
n gift after the manner Of the bequest
of james Smithson, the Englishman
who gave s1,OOO.O0O for the establish

In the old days of the Hudson Bay

conducted wholly by barter. The
standard of value was n beaver-skin.
and gans. knives, powder. lead and
blankets were exchanged for furs with
out recourse to coin. In time, how

the company and accepted for the
value of one beaver-skin at any post
Some favor of the old romance will

In anticipation of partial concentra-
ton of the troops in the Philippines next
year General Chaffee submits estimates
of cost for the construction of quarters
and barracks. lie recommends that a
permanent post be constructed at once
in the vicinity of Manila for garrison
Of two squadrons of cavalry, two bat
tries Of artillery, and two full regi-
ments of infantry. together with nos
pital and st5renouse, the whole to be
under the command of brigadier-gen-
eral. He gives $500,O0O as a rough es-
innate of cost for this project.
General Chaffee devotes good part
of his report to the terrible disaster
which befel Company c. Ninth infant
ry, at Balangiga, Samar, and which,
he says, was largely due to overconti-
dence in assumed pacific conditions
and in people who to great extent,
as yet are strangers to and unapprecia-

beliefs and actions"
American soldiers, he says, fall to dis
criminate between real and assumed

The proposed university will not in

will supplement them, for, according to
the present plan, Its doors will be open

PLAIN TALK
To Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from catarrh
In its many forms, knows that the
common lotions, salves and douches,
do not cure. 1t is needless to argue
this point or to cite cases of failure,
because every victim of catarrhal
trouble knows 1t for himself II no has
tried them.
A local application, If 1t does any.
thing at all, simply gives temporary
relief wash, lotion, salve or pow
der cannot reach the seat OF the dis
ease which is the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
lieve the blood Of catarrhal poison
by secreting large quantities Of muc-
Gus, tho discharge sometimes closing
up the nostrils descending TO the
throat and larynx, causing an irritat-
ing cough continual clearing Of tho
throat deafness, indigestion and
many other disagreeable and persistent
symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal treatment; remedy
which will gradually cleanse the sys-
TEN from catarrhal poison, and re-
move the fever and congestion always
present in the mucous membrane.
The best remedies for this purpose
are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and
Hydrastin, but the difficulty has al
ways been to get these valuable cura-
tives combined in one palatable, con-
venient and efficient form.
Recently this has been accomplish
ed and the preparation put on the
market under the name of Stuart 8
Catarrh tablets; they are large plea
SAINT tasting lozenges, so that they
may be slowly dissolved in the mouth,
thus reaching every part Of the nue.
Gus membrane and finally the stomach
and intestines.
An advantage to be considered also
is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con.
tain no cocaine, morphine or poison.
our narcotics so often found in catarrh
powders, and the use of which often
entails habit more dangerous than
the disease
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
and most effectual catarrh cure on the
market,
