SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Lack of Faith in Lord Kitchener's
Arithmetical Demonstrations Of
British Progress in War.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. Accommodating on the
South African situation. London cor
respondent, says:
THE war news remains as ambiguous
as a Delphi oracle. Lord Kitchener's
returns of Boer losses was not unfavora-
BILE, but the faith in these arithmetical
demonstrations of British progress has
been impaired. While 1000 Beers have
been killed, wounded and captured in
September, the commands stillretain
the power of attacking in considera BILE
strength and capturing conveys. The
BOer force, estimated by Lord Kitchener
at 1880 in July, has been reduced on
the face of the returns by over 5000, yet
the $500 remaining are making an eff
feutive resistance In the Transvaal and
encouraging widespread systematic
revolt in Cape Colony, and are making
a formidable demonstration on the bor-
ders of Zululand.
The guerrilla warfare against the war
may be the relations of Lord Kitchener
and Mr.. Brodericls, but it is evident that
there is discomfort among officers in
South Africa, and that fresh blood is
needed ard that recruiting has virtually
stopped. No official return has been
published of the numerical strength Of
the army in South Africa. 1t Is custo-
mary to estimate it at 100000, but these
figures are probably grossly exaggerated.

The percentage of sick remains about
the same as during the early part of the
campaign. namely about per cent. In
Mindanao it is 1 per cent. Taking into
consideration what we have to contend
with over there and comparing it with
the records Of the civil war, it will be
seen that we have made great improve

Gen. John F. Weston. commissary gen
eral, who accompanied General stern
berg. reports that as a result of his trip
to Manila his department there has been
centralized and decreased in number of
employees in consequence OF the decrea Sc
of the army in the islands to one-half
Its former strength. The commissary de-
partment is now in the hands of Is reg

One of the effects Of the reduction OF
the army was to pile up great quantity
OF supplies. but nothing will be wasted.
Certain kinds of supplies which could
NOT be kept have been sol j but the sta>
pies are as good as ever and can be
used by the army"
General Weston found affairs in the

BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE
County Commissioners Have Gone
Away on Road Surveying and
Fishing Excursion.

County Commissioner Terrell. Clark
and Mathews went away on a trip to
the Big Hole country today, taxing ad-
vantage Of the fine weather. Their OBJ
ject in making the visit was to look over
some territory in the Wise river district
with a view to changing a country road
there.
The road is to be extended to the
county line and improved in other ways.
The commissioners felt that they could
direct the change better after seeing the
road and the country through which it
runs. Also the fine weather afforded them
an opportunity to combine pleasure with
business.
For they expect to do little fishing
at the Big Hole while they are there.
The commissioners expect to be gone
on the trip for two or three days, and
no doubt the slaughter Of fish will be
notable.

Tolstoi Declares Russian People Know
Nothing Of It-object of Alliance g.
War a Menace. r.
(By Associated Press.)


London, Oct. 2-The Revue Blanche Of
Paris recently asked Count Tolstoi for
his opinion on the Franco-Russian all
Lance, and the Paris correspondent of
the Times sends the reply received by the
paper.
Tolstoi says, that in the first place, the
true Russian people do not know of the
existence of an alliance, but if they did
they would have the common sense to
understand that this exclusive alliance
with another nation could not have any
other object than to support it against
it's enemies and pc A.aps involve them in
wars. Therefore the alliance would be
dAspleasing to them.
Count Tolstoi says the object Of such
alliances is war or to menace war; that
their influence must be michevouS gen.
orally and that they can produce only
the greatest mischief to the nations
forming them. Frances government
compromises, and will be forced to make
more, in regard to French traditions Of
freedom and humanity, in order to pre-
tend to be united in sentiments and in
tentions with the most despotic, retro
grade and cruel government in Europe.
In Russia, the alliance has already had
a certain influence. Russia no longer
cares for European opinion and feeling
herself backed by this strange friendship
with the nation reputed to be the most
civilized in the world, daily becomes
more in regard to French traditions OF
