HISTORY HAS NJ PARALLEL OF
 B0ER INVASION OF CAPE COLONY

London January 12.-History fails to fur nish parallel to the Boer invasion of Cape Colony. A whole month has elapsed since the republicans crossed the Orange river and still Great Britain knows next to nothing of their numbers, whereabouts or doings, and still less of the object of the inroads. The only thing known with tolerable certainty is that they are pro- gressing southward, over some sparsely inhabited tracts. where they escape ob- servation Other large bodies are travers- ing the very heart of the colony. The only logical explanation seems to be the largely accepted idea that the invasion forms part of a great organized scheme of that Ma
 poleon of the war, General Dewet to strike terror in the British colony, which, unques- tionably, is nearly denuded of troops, and trust to the chapter of accidents to achieve such success as will enable the Boers 10 almost dictate the terms of peace. The hating policy of the invaders however, seems to threaten to defeat their aims and has enabled the hastily enrolled levles to volunteergto occupy vital strategic points, while there are some signs that the gather ing of troops in the rear of the burghers is beginning press them southward Into the arms of the British moving from the sea- board instead of attempting to drive them back again across the Orange river, where

they might be enabled to rejoin General Dewet
 In the meantime disquieting hints are ar- irving of the alarming rapidity with which the British army Is wasting away. The long lists of dead, wounded and diseased bear out these stories, while there are abundant signs that the troops at the front are becoming stale and discontented the general exasperation at home is becom- ing more acute and the public is becoming quite skeptical of the competency of the government to get the country out of the wretched tangle.
 Seldom has there been such universal condemnation of the utterances of pub. lie man as greeted the recent address of the Duke of Norfolk to the Pope, express ing hope of the restoration of the temporal independence of the pontiff. Bitter as have been the denunciations of the Italian press the comments of the London newspapers have been quite as caustic. Nothing could be more contemptible than the Duke of Norfolk's behavior, says the Daily News If the Italian government had known he was visiting Rome for the purpose of pro- testing against their presence in heir own capital they would have been perfectly jus. tfied in stopping him at the frontier. Not content with insulting tho King of Italy and the people of Rome, Ms despicable ad- dress also condemned the toleration of Italian Protestants by the Italian govern ment If would be difficult for an English Catholic to sink lower."

VANDERBILT'S MARRIAGE.
Arrival of Guests Creates Quite Stir
 In Newport.

Newport, R. l., January 12.-While the marriage of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, one of the richest Vanderbilts, to Miss Elisie French, does not occur until Monday, quite a large number of guests arrived today. The arrival of the guests created quite a stir, but the feature of the day was the elaborate meetings in the evening in which the bridegroom rendered to the members of the wedding party, including the brides maids, the ushers and intimate frineds dinner. The dinner was given a the home of the bride at Harbourvllle.
 At the conclusion of the dinner num- Der of the most costly and beautiful gifts which had been conveyed during the day from one of the local banks to the house were shown to the guests. The evening festivities were closed with an informal dance.
 The ceremony will take place in St. Johns church Monday noon followed by an elaborate breakfast served by Delmoni- co at the French residence.

SENATE AND HOUSE
 CAN STILL DRINK BUT
 THE SOLDIERS GO DRY
BY ALBERT HALSTEAD.

Washington, January 12.-(Special.) )-The army bill will not get through before the middle of the present month, if it is finish ed so soon. The debate has obtained a wider latitude than expected and conse- quently the work on the bill has been ser- iously delayed The debate on the can- teen question wasted two days. It is re- garded as most unfortunate by officers of the army that the House was followed by the Senate in abolishing the sale of beer at army post exchanges It is feared that this will have a tendency to decrease en- listments and will work to the detriment of discipline by causing soldiers to seek their beer outside the posts, where they will get poorer stuff and have to meet temptations that will be prejudcial to dis oipline. However, the demand of the tenn perance people for the abolishment of the army canteen was too strong for the poi- ticans-in the House and the Senate to sislt. But the sentiment of each house fa- vorable to temperance has not become strong enough yet to lessen the con- sumption of beer, whiskey, champagne and other beverages in either the House or the Senate restaurants The W. c. T. U. has succeeded in cutting off the soldiers beer

NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Warrant Served on w. H. Ritter Chare-
 ing Him With Forgery.

Paragould, Ark, January 12.-There were new developments in the Greene County bank dedication case today. Last night Sheriff A. D. Grayson served a warrant of arrest on ". H. Ritter, late cashier, charg ing him with forgery. MT. Ritter gave bond in the sum of $4000 The affidavit was made by T. B. Kitchens, late president of the bank, and charges that the cashier raised statement of deposits in the Mer- chants Laclede National Bank of StLouis from $106S.4 to $11 06S. "A, with the felonious intent to defraud the Greene County Bank out of $10,000 MT. Kitchens also filed affidavit charging Ritter with larceny and embezzlement in the sum of S2S000. No warrant will be issued on this affidavit, however.
 The preliminary hearing occurred today before Squire Hays. After considerable wranglng the bond for the defendant was fixed at $4000 for his appearance at Circuit Court.

but it has not had any such influence with the men who legislate to prevent soldiers from drinking beer As one old Senator, who leads a splendid life and is not in any sense a whiskey or beer drnker said to me the other day:
 'The Senate is a conservative body, would have you know, and it proposes to drink all the liquor it wants, but the sol- dief boys are not to have d-d drop. The effect of the aboishment of the canteen on the morality of the troops will be watch ed with interest. The establishment of post exchanges where beer was sold lessened drunken 7ss and improved the discipline of the arrnN at least that improvement was coincident with the establishment of the army exchange. Now the post exchange with its beer is abolished and the expert ment will be watched with interest. Ger tain the grog shop keepers on the edge of army posts will have no cause for com plaint."
 The bureaus, for some reason, seem to be confident that the Senate will reduce the tax on beer from $1 .65 barrel as the House bill provides, to $150. The House reduced the actual tax 25 cents a barrel and the Senate would make the reduction, according to this statement 10 cents more thus making the total reduction of the rev. enue from the beer tax about thirteen mill lions.

pr. M. l. Pupin Makes Longer Distance
 Talks Possible.

New York, January 12-The Electrical Review, published today, announces the purchase by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company ehe Bell company of the patents of Dr. M. I. Pupin of Columbia, Calif., which it states, covers the art oi ocean telephony and which enables tele- phone messages to be sent over any length of land. It further states that the sum of SOC, eco has been paid to Dr. Pupin for the invention, with an annual salary to him during the life of the patents of s7500.
 The invention referred to and for which patents were issued in June 1900, is de- scribed at length, and 1t is characterized as one of the most brilliant and exceptional inventions of Dr. Pupin. It was thought necessary in order to talk a given distance, say zoo miles. in underground cables, to employ large copper wires covered with in- sulating material The expense of such wires and material has been sufficient to prevent the construction of long under ground circuits. Dr. Pupln's invention Is declared to furnish method whereby con- ductors of relatively small diameter, cov- cred with insulating material of moderate thickness may be used in place of the large and expensive conductors formerly thought necessary.

In twenty seconds there were signs of pulse and it was plain that cir culation was being revived. In twenty-five minutes a second hypodermic injection was administered, this time in Q branch of the bronchial artery in the upper left arm. Tn twenty minutes from the second injection respiration was full and phy ythmical color to the patients face and he recovered con- sciousness and asked for food.
