MASTERS OF THE CAPEs

Is it really the purpose of the Beers
| to make themselves masters of all
South Africa? 1t looks as if they have
some such intention. Mr.. Sandberg.
who is understood to be an ex-aide-de-
camp of Gen. Botha, and who is now
lecturing on the continent for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the Boer
cause, says that the Beers will never
be satisfied until they have achieved
their independence, and that their in
dependence means the overthrow of
Great Britains power in South Africa.
There appears to be much reason in
what he says. If Great Britain should
not be able to conquer the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State it would be
difficult if not impossible, for her to
hold the rest of her possessions in
South Africa, If they should revolt,
and there does not seem to be any rea-
son for thinking they would not seek
their independence. 1t is a fact that
the Boer army at present is largely
composed of citizens of Cape Colony.
The Cape Colonists are largely Dutch,
and sympathize deeply with the Beers.
If it had not been for the help they
have given the two republics it is
probable that the war in South Africa
would have ended before this.
There is no doubt that before the
Boer war began there was a pretty
clearly defined understanding that
there should be an effort to end British
rule in South Africa. Ambitious South
Africans had dreamed of a South Afri-
can republic. Doubtless Cape Colony
would have revolted before this if the
success of the Beers had been greater
The Beers still hope that some one
or more of the great Powers wifi fr1=-
tervene and help them secure indie
pendence. That would be a step-the
first step, but a long one-towards the
overthrow of British rule in South At
RIGA. Other British possessions there
would follow the course pursued by
the Beers. AS South Africa is neces-
sary to Great Britain, to enable her to
maintain her hold on India, there is
no probability that she will grant in
dependence to the Beers unless she is
compelled to do so, either from ex-
haustion or because of pressure from
other powers.
1t looks as If there were a movement
in this country to influence our gov
eminent to exercise such pressure The
proclamation of Gov. Yates of Illinois
last week, and the speech of Bourke
Cochran in Chicago last Sunday night
seem to indicate the existence of such
a movement. 1t would not require a
great deal of agitation to create a SEN
timent in this country in behalf of the
Beers that Congress and the President
would have to notice, Notwithstanding
the very friendly relations which now
exist between this country and Great
Britain. Those who think that Great
Britain is pretty we'll through with her
trouble in South Africa are likely to
find themselves mistaken.

THE PRIZE MONEY.

The Washington Post publishes the
o1scial figures of the prize and beun-
ty money paid to American naval Off
GERS who took part in the Spanish war.
The statement includes both the Santi-
ago campaign and the Manila cam
paign. The figures are striking. They
will doubtless be heard from in the
halls of Congress.
1t appears that Rear Admiral Samp
son has already drawn prize money
amounting to $25,794.44 and expects
about $4,000 more when the Maria Te-
resa case is settled. The man to draw
the next largest amount is Capt. F. E.
Chadwick. who was in command of
SIMPSONS flagship the New York. He
has been paid $14, 026.0S, and expects to
get some $4,000 more out of the Maria
Teresa case. Neither Sampson nor
Chadwick had any part in the battle,
as is well known. They were ten miles
away when the Spanish ships came out
of the harbor and were sunk. The
battleship Massachusetts was part of
the blockading squadron. but she was
at Guantanamo taking coal when the
will not get a cent. Thus the same
rule does not apply to all absentees.
In contrast with the handsome for
tune awarded to Sampson and his cap
tain, and already paid, stands the
amount paid to Rear Admiral Schley-
1883! And at best. Schley can expect
only about $4,000 more. This latter
sum has not yet been awarded him,
though SIMPSONS awards have been
perfected and paid. The captain
of the New York, who was not pres
ent during the fight and who prevent
ed the sending of a message of con-
graduation to Schley. will receive $14,-
600 more than the commander who
stood on the Brooklyn's bridge while
that vessel bore the brunt of the enc
my's fire.
Dewey's Manila campaign was ex-
ceptionally brilliant. yet Dewey got
only $3.50 prize money for wiping out
the Spanish navy in the Far East.
Dewey and all of his captains will not
receive as much as Sampson and
Chadwick alone. Rear Admiral John
c. Watson, the senior of both Samp-
son and Schley, was a division COM
mander during the Spanish war. lie
has received as prize money $3.50; yet
he was in just as many fights as Samp-
son.
Capt. r. A. Cook was in command
of Schiey's flagship. the Brooklyn. Cook
was with schley on the bridge when
the Spaniafds were destroyed. He has
not yet received a cent of prize money,
though he may get a little over 81, 600
mere patch on the sum given the alb
sentee, Capt. Chadwick. Capt Clark
OF the Oregon has not received a cent.
He may get about $1,000. 1T was
captains fight" according to Secretary
Long, but the actual. fighting captains
have got the least profit out of Il. They
risked their lives, and get the short
end of the purse; those who risked
nothing get the long end. 1t may all
be strictly legal, but IL was a mighty
poor law that permitted of such mon
strous injustice. The country is to be
congratulated that the bounty law has
been repealed. so that there cannot be
another such scandal.

COLLEGE
ATHLETES.
Strength and Endurance the
Result of Proper Training.
Blood Wine-Used at Principal
Observation-Disclosures General
Health of Students.

The interest in college athletics is I'M
doubtedly growing. This is due to sew
eral causes. Probably the first reason is
that of making name for oneself-which
goes down in history and becomes a
monument to ones memory-respected
and honored by the succeeding genera
tions and constituents of the several in
situations of learning.
The fact that athletics, as now INDUCED
in throughout the country, has been a
means of turning sickly, puny men into
sturdy specimens of manhood is also avery
great inducement, and serves to arouse
athletic instincts in thousands of young
fellows, who would otherwise have no
aspirations in that direction.
The training of a college athlete is
good example for everyone to follow
throughout life.

The boycott seems to be carried to
the limit in Scranton. Pa. Not even
the pulpit is exempt from it. The other
day a preacher was seen to be riding
on one of the boyeotted street cars. A
delegation waited upon him and asked
for an explanation of his conduct. He
replied that there was no union of the
ministers and consequently he felt that
he was violating no obligation when
he took the most convenient means of
transportation at hand; further. he re-
garded it as a personal matter. having
no connection whatever with his office
as a minister of the gospel. But the
delegation thought otherwise, and is
sued a boycott order against the
preacher. The controversy soon became
so heated that the minister resigned
his pastorate and left the city.

THE ORANGE INDUSTRY.

Cuba and the British West India
Isles want the United States to reduce
the duty on oranges and lemons. There
is now pending a reciprocity treaty in
which it is provided that oranges from
the British West Indies shall be ad-
mitted on the payment of only NOM
inal duty, and it is certain that Cuba
is going to make a big effort to have
her oranges admitted on such terms as
will enable her to grow oranges at
big profit.
But the duty on oranges and lemons
will not be reduced great deal if
California and Florida can prevent it.
Last year California shipped 5000, 900
boxes of oranges, for which the grow
ers received, according to a recent
circular, $1O00O,OO0. 1t required $4,000
cars for their transportation, and the
freight paid on them was something
like $S,OOO0OO. These figures give
some idea of the extent of the orange
industry in California.
The time is close at hand when Flor
ida will ship as many boxes of oranges
as she did before the great freeze,
namely, 100000 If it had not been
for that disaster she would be shipping
more than 100000 now. Unless an
other freeze checks the industry Flor
ida will be shipping 10000, 900 boxes
within the next twenty years; and
Florida oranges are a long way the
best in the world
When Cuba asks for reciprocity and
insists upon lower duty on oranges she
will be met by the very decided OPP
position Of California and Florida.

The famine" in the means of land
transportation is very remarkable.
Among the railroads centering in Chi
cago there is general complaint Of
the lack of freight cars to move the
grain and coal freights. In New York
a day or two ago an official of one
of the great systems expressed the
fear that there would be a coal famine
on the lines of his company because
of the want Of cars. Our motive
been kept in a constant state of anx-
iety, owing to the short supply of en-
CINE fuel" And he added that he
could not tell when the situation would
be relieved. Another New York rail
road man said that not only was there
a shortage in cars and coal, but in
locomotives as well. If the roads had
a greater number of cars they would
not have engines to pull them. And
all OF this is in the face of the fact
that the roads have for the past year
or more been adding as rapidly as
possible to their rolling stock equip
ment. The Pennsylvania system alone
has given orders for 200 locomotives
and several thousand cars to be deliv-
cred during the next twelve months.
1t is understood that about every To-
connective and car plant in the country
Is crowded with emergency orders.
