CAPTURE OF C0L0NIALS
Beers Take One Hundred and
Thirty Prisoners.
DE WET IN ORANGE RIVER COLONY

Correspondents AlIege Tint Fitch-
ener's Policy Is IA Failure, and IL IL
lis Not Changed the War May Last
For Years.
London, March 27.-The Cape Town
correspondent of The Daily Express
reports the capture by 100 Beers of 100
colonials in rocky detile near Rich
nlond last Thursday. He asserts that
the colonials lost 13 men before they
surrendered, adding that they were all
liberated after having been stripped of
their accouterments.
1t is reported from Bloemfontein that
General De Wet is again in Orange
River Colony.
The Pretoria and Bloemfontein cor
respondents of The Times send long
dispatches admitting that Lord Kitch-
ener's policy and operations have fail
ed to achieve the results hoped for and
pointing out that the British public
must be prepared to return to the orig
inal policy of occupying districts and
studding the country with military
posts as the only means of effecting
complete pacification. This process, the
correspondents say, will occupy much
time and necessitate constant supply
of fresh troops.
Policy Must BE Changed.
Unless this aspect of the case Is
grasped by the authorities" say the
advices of The Times, there is a pos
sibility of the war lasting for years.
1t is quite useless to renew peace nego-
tiations. Nothing approaching terms
as the word is generally understood,
would be polite or even possible with
the Beers"
The Daily Express prints a rumor
that Sir Alfred Miner is dissatisfied
with his qualified authority and has
asked the government to give him eel
Their a free hand or no hand" Mr..
Chamberlain is said to have replied
that 1t would not be advisable to dis
ISOLATE the authority of Sir Alfred
Miner from that of Lord Kitchener.
| and the rumor goes that Sir Alfred
contemplates resigning.
A dispatch from Vryheid says that
General French, with Bartnars and
Pulteney's columns, arrived there yes
terday, having killed, wounded or cap
tured 1000 Beers
He has also taken seven cannon,
1000 rifles, 1880 wagons and 226,000
head of horses, cattle and sheep.
The dispatch is regarded as giving
the total of General French's captures
throughout his operations. 1t indicates
therefore the capture of one additional
gun and of additional Beers and war
material.

st. Petersburg, March 2T.-All Rus
STA is trembling at learning that among
the hundreds who have been arrested
as implicated in the huge plot against
the life of the car are many persons
high In social and official life. From
all over Russia come the same reports,
of hundreds locked up In prison, and
the names are startling because of
their prominence. 1t is this that has
unnerved the car, the suspicion that
there is no one too high or too init.
mate to be above suspicion.

New York, March 27.-There will be
no additional police legislation at AL
bany at the present session. This was
decided upon at a conference of Repub-
lican leaders and legislators at the
Fifth Avenue hotel on Sunday after
noon. Governor Odell was not present.
but his attitude toward such proposed
legislation was known to every man In
the conference, and he had spokesman
present. Senator Plat did not recede
from his position that he believed the
passage of n metropolitan police bill
advisable; but, with the distinct knowl-
edge that the governor would veto any
such bill. he agreed with the others in
the conference that the effort to force
the passage of such a bill would be I'M
wise and probably unsuccessful.
Senator Platt, after the conference,
gave out the following statement:
THE general opinion of those at the
conference was that the police condi-
lions existing in New York ought to
have the attention of the legislature,
but that it would be useless to pass any
bAAi, Us TIC EoNt htNldltu Nliue
he would veto it. Some of those pres
ent favored n state police bill. and 9TH
ers favored a metropolitan district law,
but 1t was conceded by all that nothing
should be done at present.
II regret the situation, as 1 believe
that some action by the legislature is
imr ortant for the city and the Repub-
licln party, and | think that such will
be the general opinion soon. But II
nothing is to be done and If the present
bad conditions are to be submitted to
the legislature is not responsible for
that. If 1t turns out in the next munic-
ipal election that the judgment which
have formed upon this subject has been
wrong, then l shall be glad that Tam.

AND THE YEARS GO By.

Lightly sips youth at the wines OF its Joys,
Laughs at the charms of yesterdays toys;
Lille is so long, and nothing alleys,
And the years go by.
Little by little the world shows its dross,
Deepens the sense of enjoyment and loss;
Pleasure is wearing off part of its gloss,
And the years go by.
Now there Is question and doubt and dsmay;
Well, time will alter, and truth will outstsy;
Night is as needful, perhaps, as the day,
And the years go by.
Work multiphes, and pleasures sbate;
80 much to do, and are so late;
Duties still focking knock at the gate,
And the years go by.
once-ah, we sigh but we never can stopl
What is life for but to work till dropf
And the years go by.
Age is oncoming, and what have we donef
Oh. we had dreamed of such victories woni
Whose is the fault, and what is undoneP
And the years go by.
What do hold but handful Of dustf
We were so wise in our first ardent trust.
Somehow we missed the real metal for rust,
And the years go by.

toration of the Jewish nation to power
and greatness as in the days of David and
Solomon. The Jews, he said, emphasized
the fact that their God was a national
God. Their religion was largely a re-
ligion of patriotism. Jesus himself was
a great patriot; he did for his nation
what no other reformer or leader has
ever done. He could not keep it in its
integrity; he could not restore the in
situations of David, but he did more to
give his people q new birth and a new
life. than had ever been done before or
has been accomplished since During all
the nineteen hundred years which have
interviewed since the time of Jesus he
said the Jews have never submerged or
lost their identity, although they have
lived in all countries anl mingled with
all peoples and races. In this fact the
speaker found a promise and a prophecy
that the Hebrew nation would some day
be restored. Jesus, he said. gave his life
for 1t. 1t is inconceivable. DR.. Hamlin
asserted. that this great nation should
not be reunited. Paul too, was a great
patriot.
Patriotism, he continued. is a religion.
although it cannot be a full religion in
itself but it has a large place in the re-
ligion of every heart. DR.. Hamlin then
referred to the fact that the natal days
of Washington, the father. and Lincoln.
the savior of the country, came close to-
gether in the same month.
Children he said. should be taught rev.
erence for authority. Denunciation of
those in high official positions, he de-
clared is far too common; people are 100
free and ready to criticise those who
make and execute the laws. No doubt, he
said, there are here and there actual
mercenaries, some who are unworthy of
the positions they occupy, but the vast
majority of our public men are clean and
pure. There are some men who bring
Flemish upon party, upon country. and
upon the administration of government
but happily they are few, and it is SLAM
derous to say that all are base and hypo-
critical. We should engender respect for
those who stand for the Government and
for the flag.
Neither is ii necessary to hate other
nations in order to love our own, to
Haunt other flags to revere our own, he
said. Our children should be taught to
respect high ideals liberty. and good
government wherever 1t is found God
hath made of one blood many nations.
and he hath set them in their places of
vantage or inferiority. The advantage
which We occupy should be used for the
benefit of all the world. We shall never
love our nation as well as when we rec
ogn!ze 1t as one of a galaxy of nations
standing for progress, civilization, and
liberty.
