CRITICISE THE OFFICERS
| Canadians Make Remarks About the
| British Tactics.

Ne1c York Sun Special Serctoe
Toronto, Ont, March 13.-There has
been good deal of criticism here among
Canadians returned from the South At
rican war of the conduct of British Off
GERS in the campaign. Not long ago their
conduct was characterized by one of the
Canadian contingent as supercilious, and
Trooper Linton of the Strathcona Horse
said the troop was on one occasion or
dered by the British officers into the bat
tie line in regular formation, exposing
to the merclless and bloody rife fire of
the Beers. Colonel Steel, who was in COM
mand OF the Strathconas, told the troop
to disregard these orders, adding: Il
don't wan to pass a sentence of death on
you" Steel told them to approach the
enemy with all possible caution
Speaking Of the tactics employed in
fighting the Beers, Linton said the chief
losses of the Strathconas occurred prior
to July, and he attributed the fatalities to
the stupidity of British officers, who or
dered them to advance on the kopjes in a
manner that gave the Boer sharpshooters
every chance to pick them off.

ACTRESS ABDUCTED
Rose Tiffany's Strange Story Of
Her Disappearance.
SHE MET A STRANGE WOMAN
Drugged CIaret. u Ride on a Train
and She Awakes at
Joliet.


Chicago, March 13.-Mystery surrounds
the case Of Rose Tiffany, an actress con-
nected with a company now appearing in
a down town theater who disappeared
Monday. She awoke last night in a hotel
In Joliet and Immediately telegraphed to
her mother and the manager of the com
pany. richly dressed woman luncheon
at fashionable hotel, a glass of claret
d Drler ride in a carriage, a dreamy ride
on the train, twenty four hours of dream
less sleep and an awakening-th are
component parts of Miss Tiffanys story.
Miss Tiffany lives at 2431 Michigan av-
enue. She has a minor part in James
O'Neill's production of Monte Cristo -
at McVicker's theater, and she is said 10
nave as many as five lines to say during
the evening. She is a robust, fine looking
girl, q years of age
The actress says she left her home at
z o'clock Monday afternoon to meet some
friends. She stopped at a downtown de-
partment store. and while standing at the
lace counter a richly dressed woman of
middle age approached her. The stranger
apologized and inquired if she were not
Miss Tiffany. Then she talked knowingly
of the actress former home at Buzzard's S
Bay, Mass, and convinced her that she
was an old friend.
CIaret Makes Her Sleepy.
The upshot of the conversation was that
Miss Tiffany accompanied the strange
woman, who said her name was Mrs
Nichols, to the Auditorium Annex. There
the two ordered a little lunch and the
stranger suggested that they drink a small
bottle Of claret. When the claret was
finished Mrs. Nichols invited Miss Tiffany
to accompany her to her home in Engle-
wood, and. the actress, sleepy and acquies-
cent, got into a carriage
She dimly remembers the ride in the
carriage, she says, and also that she
stepped aboard a train. The next she
knew her new friend was shaking her vio-
lently and telling her that they were at
Englewood With Mrs. Nichols. Miss Tiff
f2ny left the train and, although pos
sessed by an almost uncomfortable desire
TO fall asleep, managed to reach a hotel,
where she was told to await the reap
pearance Of her companion.
She Comes Too.
Miss Tiffany waited until she could fight
off the stupor no longer, and then took a
room. That was about o'clock Monday
evening and she insists that she knew
nothing until o'clock last night when
she aWoke and was informed by the
chambermaid that she was not in Engle-
wood but in the St. Nicholas Hotel at
Joliet
She ordered light luncheon. she says,
then took a carriage and was driven to
the railway station, where she caught
train for Chicago, arriving here at $780,
The actress can advance no reason for the
strange wOmans action and last night she
was suffering violently from a headache,
which probably arose from the drug in
the claret.
