AREA OF THE BOER WAR.

Recent occurrences in South Africa have
strongly called attention to the widespread
area of the Boer resistance to the British Never
in the history Of the war has the scene of oper-
ations been more extended, and the consequent
difficulty Of guarding lines of communication
been greater. In the earlier stages of the war
the Boer forces were chiefly massed in two or
three places. Now they are scattered ell over
South Africa, from the Cape to the Limpopo
River.
General Botha is with his main army on the
Zuuland frontier. That is east Of the wedge
OF Natal and IN the extreme southeastern corner
of the Transvaal. General De Wet is at the
other side OF the wedge of Natal, In the north
eastern corner Of the Orange State. General De
La Rey was last heard of at Moedwill not far
from the Bechuanaland border In the western
part Of the Transvaal. Another Boer force has
been operating the Caledon River, on the
Orange State. The British are fortifying
Mossel Bay, which is on the southern coast Of
Cape Colony, midway between Cape Town and
Port Elizabeth. And at numerous other points
in Cape Colony there are serious revots. Thus
Generals Botha and De La Rey are operating
more than three hundred miles apart while
from the scene of the recent battle at Moedwill
to that of the British Notifications at Mossel
Bay the distance is six hundred miles.
Such are some Of the distances along which
the British are compelled to maintain guard
lines sufficiently strong to deal with swiftly
moving and well armed Boer commanders Of

PAN-AMERICAN ARBITRATION.

The time set for the meeting Of the second
Pan-American Congress at the City Of Mexico
is at hand Despite rumors to the
contrary, not single government has declined
TO take part in the congress, but all will be
properly represented. History however re-
peats itself in the fact that one of the govern
ments has in n measure qualified its acceptance
making its full participation in the proceedings
of the congress conditional upon a certain re-
striction of the programme of topics to be dis
cussed. 1t is the same government that at the
first congress, eleven years ago, took similar
action concerning the same subject 1t may be
interesting and instructive TO review the salient
facts concerning that phase of the former
gress and TO compare them with the conditions
and prospects Of the present time
The invitation TO the first congress named as
a topic for discussion ''arbitration for the set
clement OF disagreements and disputes that
may hereafter arise" In accepting the in
yitation, on April 4, 1889, the Chilian Govern
ment expressed the opinion that the congress
should confne itself to commercial and eco
nomic questions. thus practically though not
in terms, disappearing the consideration Of any
phase of arbitration The congress met how
ever, under the programme set forth in the in
yitation, and on December 13 1885, appointed
among Others committee on general welfare
which TO draft plan of arbitration Chilli
was not represented on that committee, its
members being from Argentina Bolivia Brazil
Colombia, Guatemala, the United States and
Venezuela. On April 9, $780, that committee
presented report, setting forth an elaborate
scheme for the obligatory arbitration of all con-
troversies concerning diplomatic and consular
privileges, boundaries, territories. indemnities
the right of navigation and the validity con-
struction and enforcement of treaties. and. in
deed, all controversies. whatever their origin,
nature or object. excepting those which in the
Judgment of any one of the nations involved
might imperil the independence of that nation
This sweeping scheme was explicitly declared
to cover controversies pending well as those
which might afterward arise, even though
they had originated in occurrences antedating
the arbitration treaty.

equally for his colleague. Mr.. Alfonso, there
upon read q long and detailed paper which
was, according TO the rules of the congress, ap-
pended TO the report and the minutes OF pro-
ceedings. He expressed Chili's cordial approval
of the general principle OF arbitration, but also
her unalterable disapproyal Of the proposal to
make arbitration unconditional and obligatory,
arguing that TO have moral force and to be
practically workable arbitration must be volun-
tary. He also objected TO the proposal to make

An official report to the School Board of the
Boroughs OF Manhattan and The Bronx gives
the total number OF pupils on the public school
lists on September q 265.947. More than a
quarter Of a million boys and girls receiving in

these lists do not include the little men and

from a hundred to a thousand mounted horse
men each. 1t is big job. 1t is far different
from the task which was before Lord Kitchener
on the Nile, where there was just one objective
force to strike at and practically no need OF
guarding the lines of communication at the
rear. British impatience with Lord Kitchener
may be natural. But glance at the map OF
South Africa should restrain it within bounds.

buttons: '
The other cities of the size of Pipe
stone, which endeavored to secure IL
brary donations from Andrew Car
negie, are meeting with the same re-
ply which was given Mr.. McCleary
when he presented our case. Sena-
tor Miller has:been looking after the
desires of Luverne in this direction
and writes the Herald as follows: "1n
a conversation with U. S: Senator
Clapp few days ago I learned that
.Luverne's prospects Of securing a
share of Mr.. Carnegie's vast wealth
for library purposes are not encour-
aging. Senator Clapp stated that in
reply to letter he had written on be-
half OF some of the smaller towns,
Mr.. Carnegie had expressed deter
mination to make no contributions to
towns of less than 10000 inhabitants.

fore the philanthropist disposes Of

We Lose the Convention.

On account of the number of cases
OF small pox that were there during
the past month and not knowing how
1t would terminate it was deemed ad.
visable not to have the State Sunday
School convention held here this
season. To show how other Towns
are ready to have this meeting, we
take the following from the Sentinel,
Fairmont:
The State Sunday School Associa-
tion, three hundred strong is to be
with us in June. Mrs. J. E. Hobart,
State Secretary, spent Sunday and
Monday in town looking: the town
over and talking with many of our
church people. As a result repre-
sentatives Of the various churches
met Monday night and voted unani-
mouslY to extend the invitation and
the convention was assured. Mrs.
Hobart is enthusiastic over Fairmont
and some of the most able S. s. in
structors and workers in the United
States will contribute to make this
the biggest thing Fairmont has ever
entertained of the kind. This is a
matter which will appeal not only to
all church people but to all citizens
of Fairmont who have pride in ou1
beautiful city. Fairmont will open
hearts and homes to these people.

PRINCE HAD JEWELS HIDDEN.
EXPERIENCE WITH CUSTOMS
OFFICIALS.

Prince Henry de Croy, a Belgian nobleman
said to be a cousin Of King Leopold of the
BeIgians, had an unpleasant experience yes
terday on his arrival here on the steamship
Potsdam from Rotterdam and Boulogne. He
had declared five pieces of baggage, and was
about to leave the pier at Fifth-st. Hoboken
when Andrew McCort Custom House in
spector, noticed that the prince appeared to be
exceedingly nervous, and made him submit to
examination of his person. to learn whether
or not he was carrying about with him dutiable
goods on which he had not made any declara-
ton. The inspector found in the clothes worn
by the prince gold ring with large emerald
encrcled with thrty-three diamonds. worth
about $500: gold bracelet with a large emerald
encircled with hundred diamonds. worth
$1,000; two Angora shawls and three silver
snuffboXes.
Inspector McCort, at his home No. 149 Harri-
son-st., Brooklyn told a Tribune reporter last
evening that the goods mentioned were con-
cealed on the princes person. and that he Ghe
INSPECTOR had intercepted them by accident
The examination of passengers baggage had
been finished, and the prince had obtained
receipt from an expressman for his hve pieces
Of baggage. when the inspector asked the prince
for his name and destination, and the latter
wrote in the inspectors book 'P. H. Croy,
WASHINGTON. D. c." Then the inspector invited
the prince to step aboard the ship, and on taking
him to a stateroom asked if he had any con-
cealed packages in his possession. After the
prince had opened his waiStcoat the inspector
says the rug, folded in tissue paper, was found
concealed inside his trousers. The case was
found in coat pocket The bracelet was dis
covered inside the princes coat. in which. also,
were found the shawls and snuffboxes.
Inspector McCort found that a large amount
of money in a sealed package had been left by
the prince in the possession of the purser.
Thinking diamonds might be concealed in the
package the official opened it in the presence of
the purser He discovered no diamonds, but the
package contained many thousand dollars in
cash and drafts. The package. after examina-
tion, was returned to the purser.
Inspector McCort said that the property of the
prince which had been seized would. of course,
be confscated, as he had made declaration
under oath that he bringing over only wear
ing apparel. The government, however, gave
the owner the privilege of taking the goods out
after paying the appraisement, which might be
the full value of the property.

REFEREES BILL HEARING.
NO ONE FROM NETWORK LIKELY TO
CHAMPION THE MEASURE.

The committee representing the Bar Associa-
ton which was appointed by John E. Parsons
and the named by ex-Judge Charles +.
Brown at the meeting of the members of the
New-York County bar held on Saturday will
go to Albany to-day to be present at the hearing
before Governor Odell on the Referees bill Ow-
ing to the short time elapsing between the ap-
pointing Of the committees and the day set for
the hearing. no notices were sent to the mem
bers, and It is thought that the printed reports
regarding the committees may not have been
seen by Of the persons named In view
Of this and other facts not all of those asked to
speak against the bill are expected to be present
at the hearing. Another thing that may keep
some members of the committees from being
present is the fact that several papers an
nounced that the hearing would be held on Tues
day instead of to-day Just how many men
would go to Albany could not be learned yester-
day. Nor could any person be found who was
able to say positively whether not there would
be anybody to speak in favor of the bill at the
hearing No one came forward yesterday, and
announced that he any else would be on
hand to say that the bill was drawn on consti-
tutional lines, that it wise measure and
that it ought to become a law
1t was learned that one Of the principal argu-
ments that would be used y those who looked
upon the bill with disfavor was that it was i'm
practicable. The provisions Of the bill take
away from the justices of the Supreme Court Of
the First Judicial District the power which they
have long had in the appointment of referees
and direct that the Appellate Division shall ap-
point twenty lawyers as referees of the Supreme
Court and Surrogate's Court and twenty law
yers referees of the City Court in the judicial
district embraced by New-York County alone
The clerks of the courts are to enter the names
of the referees appointed in alphabetical order
and references emanating from the courts must
be given the referees in rotation.
Charles Bulkley Hubbell who called the meet
ing of the members of the New-York County
bar to order Saturday, seen at his home
No. 20 West Eleventh-st., yesterday. In speak
ing about the Referees bill Mr.. Hubben said
"A petition denouncing the bill will be pre-
sented to Governor Odell to-day. 1t is signed
by more than one thousand Of the busy law
yers of this city. So far no advocate or cham
pion of the bill has appeared / should say
that it is the unanimous expression of the bar
of the city that the bill is obnoxious one and
that it would be difficult for Governor Odell to
justify his approval of it,

ANGRY BULLDOG BITES A MAN.
THE LATTER HAD PROTECTED TERRIER
FROM THE UGLY BEAST.

The grassy stretch north Of the Metropolitan
Museum of Natural History was thronged yes
terday morning mostly with women and chill
drea who were enjoying the warm sunshine and
balny air Among the hundreds were Charles
Reilly fifty-four years DID, janitor Of an apart
ment house at Eighty-second-st and Central
Park West and his daughter Grace, fifteen years
old With them was their little Scotch terrier,
Gyp The dog was scampering on the grass and
barking.
On a nearby hummock Julian Goldey, Postal
Telegraph boy, holding in leash big brin-
die bulldog. AS soon the bulldog saw Gyp he
became frantic and strained for freedom. He
was soon free, for Goldey wasn't strong enough
TO hold him.
Then there was a commotion Gyp, thorough
ly scared, ran yeping to the feet of his mistress
She picked him up and started to run, but be-
fore she got five feet away the bulldog was
jumping up and trying TO get at the covering
terrier. He didn't succeed, for the girl turned
so quickly that the dog landed against her back
All the time she was screaming ana her 1ather
was doing his best to frighten the bulldog.
Grace turned and ran, and then, according TO
Mr.. Reilly, the bulldog turned on him and twice
sank his teeth in the calf of the mans leg. Two
policemen had run up, and one OF them used his
club with such effect that the bulldog fed He
was later caught and taken home by the mes
senger boy.
Mr. Reilly was assisted to a drug store in CO.
lumbus ave, and remained there until an am
bulance arrived from Roosevelt Hospital AT
the hospital he told that his wounds were
exceedingly dangerous. He was advised to go
to the Pasteur Institute.
The messenger boy said that the dog belonged
to James Earll OF No. SO West Seventysxth- st.
Mr. Reilly went to bed after reaching home
He suffering keenly last night. One OF the
wounds in his leg Is an inch and half long ana
half inch Deep
