C0LV|LLE A COWARD
Charged with Showing White
Feather in Time of
Danger.

London, AMI. 8-The case of Major
General Sir Henry Colville, whose
resignation was asked by the war
office, owing to the Lindley affair, has
been left in the hands of Lord Rob-
erts.
Since the war Office first passed
upon the matter much additional evil
dence has been received upon which
the request for the resignation was
based. Various high officers who
have recently returned from South
Africa assert that General Colville on
several occasions took precautions for
the safety of himself and his men,
which came dangerously near to show
ing the white feather.
There is no disposition on the part
of the war Office to recede from the
position it has taken. In fact, what
eve Lord Roberts may decide, Gen
eral Colv1lle will be severely over
hauled for a breach of the regulations
in discussing the matter with the
press.
The selection of a COMMANDMENTS
chief for India and a commandments
chief for Canada has also been relegat.

FOR PEACE.

Capetown, Jan. 8-The central
peace committee, Kroonstad, has is
sued a circular in the course of which
il says: 1.-THE time has arrived for
the inhabitants of the Orange river
colony to make an effort to save the
country from further destruction.
The country is literally a vast wilder
ness. Farmers are ruined and facing
starvation, are obliged to go to towns
for protection and huge refuge camps
have been formed by the British for
them. This is caused by a an obsti-
nate minority, who will not bow to
the inevitable

IS WILLING.

London, Jan. 8-Great Britain has
not yet replied to the circular Of the
United States government inviting
the powers to confer on the Chinese
question in Washington. The Asso-
ciated Press is authorized to say that
she is willing to agree to the proposal
if the other powers will also agree,
but the impression prevails in London
that the other European powers are
not likely to accept Hays suggestion.

GIVES NO OFFENSE.
Proposition to Transfer Negotiations Does
Not Give Umbraqe.

London, Jan. 10-There is no reason
to believe that the American PROPOSE
ton to transfer the Pekin negotiations
to Washington has given umbrage in
any quarter, says the Vienna CORES
pondent of the Times, since the sug-
gestion does not appear to have been
prompted by selfish motives. But the
European powers have had more ex-
p%eirence with diplomatic conferences
than the United States and know that
these tend to reveal and emphasize
differences Of opinion which in the
case Of China they are particularly
DESTROYS of avoiding.

The Fat Man Got n Lesson.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
There was a trihing fire in a West Side
street the other day which caused a good
deal of excitement and incidentally gave a
fat man a lesson in courtesy. The fire
started in the apartments where the man
and his mother lived. The man started
about the time the fire did and got down
four flights of stairs to the street before
his mother knew what was up. When she
discovered the fire she promptly tainted.
anw the fat man stood in the street
Yelling, Save my motheri Save my
mother!" A messenger boy. who was pass
ing, stopped. saw the smoke, ran up the
stairs, aroused the woman and brought her
out in safety. The neighbors cheered and
the fat man looked uncomfortable.
Here, boy" he whispered. Here's a
quarter for you"
The boys face expressed his disgust.
Jaw, save it." he said, land buy yourself
some nerve food.
The crowd laughed the fat man blushed
and the boy went whistling down the
street. He didn't know that he had been a
hero. and the fat man felt himself a
coward.

Once from on high,
Fell a snowflake. dainty and white,
or that sisterhood pure
Whose gray convent walls
Are the clouds in the sky.
Up from below,
Where a blazing fire roared and ragged.
Sprang a spark furnace-born,
With ire TO consume
Or ambition TO glow.
Wayfarers bold,
They Joined IN a wedlock OF wee:
And the cloud-born dissolved
In a tear-the spark
Became ~lifeless and cold.

ABOUT SQUIRRELS.

The. ExAs<HEBE doesn't know
whether the commissioners have
tal1eD any action. on the squirrel

probably will and 1t seems 70" be

We understsnd this method has

effective than By any. other means.
Thus does. ALI the property in the
county bear an equal burden of the
cost of the poison, and the farmers
who are directly concerned, be given
q chance to rid their farms of these
pests. The EXAMINER believes. this
IS q most effective method and we,
would like to see it given trial
early this spring, The work done
in early spring is what counts.
Certain it is that some scheme
must be devised to abate these de-
struciye animals, and as everything.
else has been tried, the EXAMINER
hopes the commissioners will give
this scheme chance.

SAME Old LES.

Speaking Of Towne's great speech
n the senate the other day the Salt
FAKE Tribune says:
One tribe in the Philippines made
war upon our flag and planned the
killing of our soldiers It's power is
broken, only some wandering murder
ers of that tribe are still scouting about
Rlundering the people and, when pos
stble, killing our soldiers, but they do
not much count.
That shows that, even in face of:
direct contradictory evidence, the
Tribune can lie with as much ease
as was reputed to Annanias.
Right now the war department. Is
asking congress for authority to
send and keep loo, 900 men in the
Philippines until order is restored.
The departnentsay this number OF
men is absolutely necessarily If
there were only few bands of
<'royfng murderers' would 1t re-
qulre SO. many soldiers? Nonl atter
how few there are, they seem to
-"count much," if all these troops
are needed.
It isn't SO long ago that the lib
une was saying that, aenly q few
bands OF outlaws remained in thu
islands, > yet within the past. month
80, 600 or 20, 900 have come in and
