NEW YORK, Aug. T.-Major General
IN Sir Frederick Maurice attracted
considerable attention about year
ago by his attempts to prove to British
officers that the bicycle was worth TAX
ing more seriously in military manoeu-
vers.
He organized big corps Of bicycle
volunteers for test of his scheme,
hut their evolutions were not a great sue
cess at the first trial. General Maurice,
AYERS a London correspondent, has just
tried his plain again, with body of 1900
cyclists of AldershOt. e'f
His success was so complete that many
observers, and even some of the pro-
fessed military critics, predict that the
cyclist is to be the mounted infantryman
of the future. At any rate Is is con-
tended that these Aldershot manoeuvers
prove the wheel to be much too good for
use only in dispatch bearing, scouting
and accommodating as at present.
The 1900 cyclists, carrying kit, rifle and
ammunition, left Aldershot at o'clock
in the morning and reached Bagshot in
perfect order. with intervals and space
preserved, in better time than cavalry
make on the same journey.

EOER LEADERS NEVER WILL GIVE UP

Heavy work and incessant marching
have rendered the British army stale.
The same feeling of WEAKNESS Is shown
in England. where the yeomanry force
recruited for special service is still H.
900 below the full quota, nOtwithstand-
ing the streuous exertions to strengthen
it and the high pay offered for rough
riders.
An article In the current number of
the Fortnightly Review, on the settle
ment in South Africa, derives special
Significance from the fact that the
writer Ivan Muller, knows more about
Lord Miners intentions than anybody
else, except Mr.. Chamberlain. Lord
Miner, 1t has been said. will land at
Capetewn with the constitution for
South Africa in his pocket, and the
Eortnightly Reviews article Is proba-
bly, the outline Of the scheme.
Mr.. Muller makes it clear that Mr..
Chamberlain and Lord Miner have de-
cided that British influence will be
paramount in South Africa~ dominion

plan Of confederation it Is plain that
the state should be the center Of politi-
cal power and have control Of the fed
eral funds and English senators should
outnumber the Dutch by two to one.
For the constitution of the upper
chamber he favors the American rather
than the Canadian and Australian pre-
cedents. but In the first instance the

spective governors or high commits

M. Constans telegraphed to Paris Aug.

fulfilled, and n. Delcasse, minister of for

Constans that in view of so fragrant g.
disregard of the undertakings the nego-

requested NJ. Constans to inform the
porte that he had received orders to leave
Constantinople.

with the porte. fixing Aug. 26 as the
date for his departure, and as the en-
Sagements were still unkept NJ. Constans
left Constantinople on that date.
With the departure Of NJ. Constans the
relations between France and Turkey
may be regarded as broken off. Munir

graphed not to return to Paris.
The current affairs of the two embas-

tical nature will be entirely suspended
until the sultan yields to the French
demands.
The French government holds that the
sultan has broken his word. He had
promised full payment of the long-stand-
ing indemnities to the Frenchmen,
amounting to 10000 900 francs. but at the
end Of last week declined to pay the full
amount, and offered a reduced sum-
which was refused by NJ. Constans, who
waited until yesterday and then de-
parted.

7 ONDON, Aug. 27.-The barometer of
South Africa fell when it was
- known that Steyn. DeWet and
Botha had defied Mr.. Chamberlain and
had announced their determination to

ton of Lord Kitchener has not fright

do not believe it can be enforced. MNi-
tary men here have not swerved from
the conviction that the war will continne

VA : ASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The last

of the marine hospital service
contains a number of reports concerning
the prevalence of plague dn the vicinity
of Canton, China, most of which are
made by missionaries and American ply
siclans connected with hospitals in Can
ton and neighboring cities.
The reports agree that the disease Is
epiden,ic in only few places in Canton,
hut that 1t is widespread throughout the
province of Kwang Tung. One mission
ary says 1t is much more general than
dn years past and that instead Of being
confined to a few large centers, it is
heard of in villages. as we'll as in market
towns and cities"
Another reports that the plague travels
along the great trade routes, and he says
that at present I'VE find the plague from
Hong Kong all the way along the west
river for 400 miles, and the larger the
plague center, the more the plague ex-
lists"
The reports generally agree that the
disease. instead of being transmitted
from person to person. is transmitted
from place to persons.

attention be given to Chinese methods OF
treatment. saying that in one case
