How They Disagree.

One OF our exchanges says that an
editor and his wife disagree with each
other very materially. She sets things
to rights and he writes things to set.
She reads what others write and he
writes what others read. She keeps
the devil out of the house as much as
possible, and he retains him and could
not go to press without him. She knows
more than he writes and he writes more
than she knows.

General De Wet In Cape Colony.

The news from South Africa has Of
late been SO conflicting and closely CEN
sored that it is d.G;cult to form an ac-
curate opinion of what has there been
transpiring, but it is certain that the
end Of the war is not reached and Ia
likely to continue many months more.
General De Wet has again invaded
Cape Colony and has been carrying on
his hostile operations on British soil
Crossing the frontier at Noval's drift,
the great Boer leader appears to have
in view the taking of the middle course
straight through the colony by way Of
the Philipstown district toward Cape
Town. His objective point is probably
somewhere near Ladygray, SO miles
northeast of Cape Town, where the
central and largest of the three invad-
ing columns is resting and where the
eastern and western columns, now
bivouacking at Knysa and Calvinia,
nearly 200 miles in either direction,
might effect a junction with him.
1t is not stated how large force Is
under the daring Free Slater, but 1t is
probably not more than 1000 or 5000
men. A junction with the advance col
umns of invasion might place at his
disposal more than 1000 men. The one
thing that would make the demonstra-
ton formidable and the thing on which
the burghers count with desperate ex-
pectation Is an Afrikander rising
brought about by the masterful per-
sonality of De Wet. Such a demon
stration has heretofore been threaten
ed, but thus far the Cape Afrikanders
have failed to join their fortunes with
their invading brethren. Whether even
De Wet can bring them out now is
question, although he will receive more
recruits than the commanders who
went ahead Of him. 1t is a daring
campaign upon which General De Wet
has entered and will be watched with
keenest interest both by pro-Boer and
anti-Boer sympathizers. If carried out
as indicated in Cape Town dispatches,
1t is likely to bring some decisive re.
suits.

Kitchener said, "Give me one general

'I'll give Lord Roberts three years to

to do it, he will have to go at the task
soon, as General De Wet apparently
grows stronger and more elusive as
time goes by.

AS was expected, the nuptials of the
Princess of the Asturias and Prince
Charles Of Bourbon, celebrated in Mad
rid, were attended with unruly demon
strations by the people. Ostensibly
these were meant to express public dis
approval Of the marriage. but the prob
ability is that they were rather ex-
pressions Of the deep seated unrest
that has taken possession Of the Span
ish people. The country has been hui
inflated on land and sea. 1t has been
stripped of it's colonial possessions 1t
has been exasperated by the break
down of the cruiser sent to represent
Spain at the naval pageant in honor of
Victoria. Industrial depression sue
ceeding temporary boom, caused by
the need of clothing and feeding the
army after it's return from Cuba, has
brought actual want on the laboring
classes of the port towns. An out
break of the Carlist agitation has led
to the proclamation of martial law in
some of the southern provinces. The
strike fever is afloat. and general
movement against repressive labor
laws is in progress All of which
should account for the present excite
ment in the peninsula.

REPORT ON STEAM VESSELS.
The Supervising Inspector ueneral Says the
Total Loss Of Life Last Year on
Steamahips Was $40.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The annual
report of Gen. James A. Dumont, SUI
pervising inspector general of steam
vessels, was made public yesterday.
1t shows that 9,l73 vessels were in
spected during the last fiscal year, a
decrease of so from the figures for
the preceding year. The total loss of
life on steam vessels last year was
$40, an increase of 140 over the pre-
vious year. BY the loss of the steam
err Rio de Janeiro at San Francisco
last February 127 lives were lost.
Gen. Dumont, in his report, goes
fully into the case Of the sinking OF
the Staten island ferryboat North
field, June IA last, which had on
board 1000 passengers, OF whom
only five were lost. He says the age
of the boat was in no wise response
Bile for her sinking, as any boat not
provided with watcr-tlght compart-
ments would have sunk after receiv-
ing such a direct right angle blow as
was given the Mortified by the
Mauch Chunk.
