JOHN BULL Is UNHAPPY.

The English are still complaining
with much evidence OF pain. because
the Archbishop of York. one of the
chief dignitarics of their national
church, issued a pastoral proposing a
day of national humiliation for re-
cent British disasters in South Africa.
This is rather incongruous. to say
the least in view of the fact that the
war III South Africa, from the official
standpoint, ended fully a year ago
the operations of the British army
since that time being regarded princi-
so unfavorable, however, that the stan
chest Tory newspapers are denouncing
the Government for not hurrying rein
forcements to Lord Kitchener. The
Spectator, one of the most influential
of the British weeklies. urges the Gov.
ernment to send Lord Roberts to South
Africa to finish n war which the gal
liant ''Bobs" indiscreetly declared
practically ended twelve months ago.
Rudyard Kipling the et-laureate OF
jingoism is writing articles in the
newspapers denouncing the lnefficlency
of the War Office in the most caustlt
terms. General Butler, not so long

John Bulls nerves are in sadly shat

a doubtful proposition. There is

Joseph's hospital while undergoing an
operation performed by DR. W +.
Mum in an effort to remove tack
from the childs digestive tract The
tack was swallowed on Thursday by
the child while at play with some Of
her comrades When her abdomen
was opened the tack was found lodged
in the veriform appendix The opera
ti0n performed was similar to that fol-
lowed in cases of appendicitis.
The case presents peculiar features
in that beyond the ordinary fear felt
in regard to the possible danger of
having foreign substance in the
stomach. no grave doubts were felt a.
to the child's welfare at the time the
accident occurred. The following day,
however. acute pains developed in the
little girls abdomen. together with all
the symptoms of appendicitis Efforts
were made to dislodge the tack but
without avail and yesterday the opera
tion was decided on. The shock of tho
operation proved too great for the
child's system and she failed to rally

ROOSEVELT'S POLICY.

The Milwaukee Sentinel an old fash
loned thick and thin, black and white
and yellow Republican organ, thinks
that The Tucson Citizen shows un
necessary haste in determining what
President Roosevelt proposes to do"
The Citizen has not as yet determin-
ed what President Roosevelt proposes
to do" although 1t could make a very
good guess at it, The Citizen has not
yet judged Mr.. Roosevelt and does not
intend to do So But The Citizen ex
poets that his administration will be
conducted on strict Republican lines
and consequently we are not prepared
to give 1t our approval In advance.
There was a time, and not SO long
ago either, when Theodore Roosevelt
entertained practically the same views
about tariffs, subsidies and force bills
that The Citizen does now. but that
was before Roosevelt became a prac-
ticai politician or had serious dreams
that he would ever reach the Presi-
dency. We can remember very dis
tinctly when Roosevelt was an extreme
civil service reformer. an extreme FREQ
trader. and an extreme opponent of
subsidies, bountles and all sorts oi
class legislation. But President Roose,
welt knows that the Republican party
Is against civil service reform and that

tariff and to any kind of class legisla

the party which elected him in so far
as they are well defined, and If he
cannot conscientiously do this that it
is his duty to resign.
President Roosevelt as IA practical
politician" will undoubtedly fll his
contract and hence The Citizen really
anticipates little or nothing from his
administration in the way of relief
from tariff exactions. the repeal of
special privileges or the reform OF the
civll service However, there are diff
ferences OF degree, If not of kind, in
the various iniquitles to which the Re-
publican party stands committed The

The arrangement. it is said. includes
the stumping of Illinois by Senator
Fairbanks In the interest of Dawes for
the Senate against Senator Mason, in
retuy 60: which Dawes friends are
to do NIL in their power to throw the
vote OF the state in the next national
convention for Fairbanks for PrCsi-
dent,
When I &slator Cullom was csked
about the matter he replied that he
was not prepared to speak of polite !

edge of them,
1t will be remembered that some
time ago Gov. Yates entertained Pres

Yates Roosevelt combination had been
inatton of Roosevelt for President and
Yates for Vice President

that it dsposes of all rumors that Sen

Copper in Peru
American Syndicate

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 29-United
States Minister Dudley. who returned
from Peru to-day, brought the first
definite details that have been made
public of the enormous scheme of a
party of Americans to develop the
copper mines OF Peru and to make
that country one of the great copper
producers OF the world. Mr.. Dudley
said:
Copper properties of enormous
value have been discovered at CerrO
de Pasco. in the heart of the Andes.
and $l0,000U00 of American capital Is
to be invested in their development
Tho project involves the building Of
eighty miles of railroad from Arroyo,
the present terminus Of the 120-mile
road that runs from the seaport of
Callao to the mines. At the present
time the only means of transporting
copper ore to the railroad liz on the
backs of llamas and hurrOs.
when this road is finished Peru
will jump into prominence as one Of
the largest producers of copper in tho
world. The pleasing thing about this
development of the Peruvian copper
mines Is that American capital Is back
of the enterprise | am not in posi-
tinn to mention the names of those in
terestcd in the big enterprise. but
can say that among the number are
some people close to Senator Clark of
Montana. The properties are to be cX-
plotted on the most extensive scale"
