saw. on turning his head. that the
awning in front of No S57 was on fire.
He uttered an exclamation, sprang up,

out the fire. AS he did so he threw out
his right hand and at once fell dead,

THE ARMY BILL

Secretary Root made the
plain declaration to the Sem
ate committee that, if con-
gress does not at once in
crease the army in substan-
rial accordance With the rec
concentrations of the War de.
partment, it will be necessary
for the United States to aban-
don a large part of the Phil
ippine Islands where civil
government has been estab-
lished. This would be an APP
palling penalty to pay for de-
lay, yet the secretary did not
in the least overstate the case.
A large part Of the army now
in the Philippines must be
mustered out before the first
day Of July. when its term of
enlistment expires: and in or
der that this may be done, the
homeWard movement of troops
should begin at once and con-
tinue for months. But unless
troops are ready to take the
places of the garrisons which
are Withdrawn, large portions
of the islands which have

forces must be concentrated

THE new YEAR

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky.
The flying clouds the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want the care, the sin,
The faithess GOODNESS of the times:
Ring out, ring out, my mournful
rhymes,
Rut ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic Islander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease:
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold,
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

IN SOUTH AFRICA

Beyond doubt the Boer in
vasion, or reinvasion. of Cape
Colony is inciting many of
the inhabitants to rebel
against British authority and
to join the Beers. The Beers
have shreWdly chosen the
scene of their operations to
that end. They have invaded
the countries where disaffec-
ton against the British has
been most manifest and SYM
pathy with the Beers the
strongest. The result will be
more than mere swelling of
the ranks of the Boer conn
mandoes, unwelcome as that
must be. 1t will mean innum-
erable new treason trials and
a great increase of. i'll feeling
between Dutch and British all
through the colony. Perhaps
it would be too much to say
there is danger of a general
insurreotion of the Cape
Dut CHI. though even so grave
a contingency is being dis
cussed in London. But with.
out that the case is bad
enough. Every hour of Boer
invasion of Cape Colony
means months of trouble and
alienation between the two
races.-New YORK Tribune.
