THE sourH,s REPRESENTATION.

1t was by a very narrow majority that
the effort to bring to the front the ques-
tion of reducing the representation in

notwithstanding the fact that there are
a good many Republican congressman
who are against any movement to inter
fere with what has been done in some
of the Southern states to disfranchise
nliterate negroes, the Olmstead resolution
would have been adopted.
II has been thought all along that the
sentiment among Republicans in Con-
gress in favor of reducing the representa-
ton of those states which have abridged
the suffrage was not strong. Indeed.
1t has not been very long since the Pres
ident was quoted as saying that he was

the reports that in certain of the South
came as a surprise. In fact, even some

will. but there is some ground for say
ing that before it is there will be an I'M

opposed to legislation of that kind. In
that event it is doubtful if majority
for the resolution could be mustered by
its friends.
There is a growing belief among the

A well-known admiral, who did notable
service in the war with Spain, told good
story on himself when in town recently,
says the Philadelphia Record. He came
to the city during the restoration of indie
pendence Hall for no other purpose than
to secure one of the original bricks of the
historic structure. One day he visited the
hall and told the caretaker who he was
and what he wanted. The official willing
20 do a favor for such a distinguished
person, wrapped up one of the bricks and
handed it to the admiral, who was profuse
in his thanks. Upon his arrival in Wash
lngton the admiral gave further evidence
of his gratitude by writing a letter to
Director Ritter, expressing thanks to him.
What was his surprise the next day to
receive a can from the caretaker who had
given him bf4cR, With the statement
that if he did not bring it back to Phila-
delphia he would surely lose his job. Re

GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR THE
BRITISH

While the Queen and the English peo-
pie are showering honors upon Lord Rob-
erts, Lord Kitchener is having a rather
gloomy time in South Africa. No doubt
Lord Roberts deserves all of the honors
the English people are comforting upon
him, but the fact must not be overlooked
that the Beers are by no means conquered
yet. He scattered the Boer armies-put
end for a time to organized opposi-
tion-but the war the Beers are now wag-
ing is as threatening to the British as
was the war they conducted with we'll
organized armies. He is about the only
British general that has won any repu-
tation in South Africa, and there is there
fore reason for the enthusiastic reception
given him on his return to England.
That Gen. Kitchener is having a diff
cult time of it there is no doubt. II is
true he has a very large force under his
command but it must not be forgotten
that he has to cover an immense terri
tory, while the Beers can go where they
please and strike any part of his long
drawn out lines. The British are fight
are unacquainted with the country, their
horses are unaccustomed to the conditions
with which they have to contend and the
men do not know what precautions they
should take for their protection against
climatic dangers.
The rainy season is now close at hand,
and 1t is expected that there will be an
II. I,a
British. The enteric fever is certain 10
make its appearance, and If 1t should
show itself in a. severe form large part
of the British force would be incapaci-
tated for service.
The movement of the Beers into Cape
Colony has alarmed the British greatly.
The greatest precautiou will have to be
taken to prevent an uprising of the Cape
Colony Dutch. The latter are now un-
doubtedly extending to the Beers all the
aid they can without exposing them
selves to great danger. And in the Trans
vaal the Beers are remarkably active.
They have met with many successes re-
Gently in attacking British posts. 1t is
an easy matter for them to concentrate
against some point in the British line of
defense, destroy the railroad track, cut
telegraph wires and even capture detach-
ments of troops before reinforcements can
be forwarded TO the aid of the surprised
garrisons.
The war in South Africa is not over by
any means, and 1t will not be until many
more British lives have been lost and
a great deal more of British money has
been expended.

This was the unconventional note. says
the New York Times, that a young ma
iron on the upper west side of town had
handed her by her maid the other day:
MY Dear Mrs. c.: 1 am dead ana
buried, and I recommend Mrs. F., who
brings this note, as my worthy and capa-
BILE successor.
Startling. wasn't it? But an interview
with the bearer of the mysterious note re-
vealed the fact that it was a missive
from the wash lady of the family who,
as 1t later appeared was on her death
bed. The dying woman had taken this
method of recommending a friend for
her place as manipulation of the family
linen. The bearer of the missive got the
job, and ON her first appearance an
nounced that the writer of the note had
passed happily away a few days after
penning her sensational note of intro
duction,
