at the present moment is better than it
has been at any time during the last Ia
months since the battle of Paardeberg.
The burghers in the field, though some
Of them are only 20 years Of age, can
be regarded as seasoned veterans
AS to the reports that the Beers are
miSled by their advisers In Europe,
who hold out to them hopes Of foreign
complications and foreign Intervention,
there is absolutely no foundation for
them. On the contrary, the decision to
continue the war was arrived at with
out hope or expectation Of foreign as
sistance and without any reference to
their advisers In Europe. Some friends
OF the Boer cause 6iscountenance any
agitation in their behalf, alleging that
It would be cruel to encourage or pro-
long a hopeless struggle, but they need
be under no. apprehension on that
score, for, in the first place, the Beers
do not think their struggle hopeless by
any means, and, secondly, agitation
may affect English public opinion, but
1t certainly will not influence the Beers
in the field, for they are not likely to
hear Of it.
There is one point on which I partic-
ularly wish to dwell. I am told that
some friends appear to have lost SYM
pathy with the Beers because Presi-
dent Steyn and General Botha rejected
the preposterous terms offered by Mr..
Chamberlain and Sir Alfred Miner.
Now, however sympathetic the friends
of the Beers may be or however desir-
Gus they may be to see the Suferings
of the latter brought to an end, yet it
must be borne in mind, as I said, that
they do not consider their struggle
hopeless, and their generals n official
advisers, like Messrs. Steyn and Bur-
ger, are perfectly competent to decide
what terms they can accept without
being parties to their own subjugation
and the loss of their independence.
They stand ready to risk their lives
rather than be ~consenting parties to a
dishonorable settlement or to a dis
graceful surrender to an enemy who
has so far proved implacable and for
whose good faith they have unfortu-
nately few precedents or guarantees in
their past dealings or conventions.
The world is not likely to forget the
lessons of the South African war. A
remarkable aspect of this remarkable
war has been the power1essness Of
wealth. These two republics have been
pitted against the richest power on
earth, and the sympathies of cosmo-
politan wealth have been almost with
out exception actively directed against
the Beers, yet Notwithstanding these
drawbacks the latter have carried on
the war to such a point that even If
their hopes should not be crowned with
success the ultimate victory Of the
British will be a great moral disaster
IL not a material defeat.

A KINGS GIFT TO A WOMAN.
White Lodge Presented to Mrs. Hart
mann by Edward VII.

mann by Edward VII.
There has been much curiosity as to
the future tenancy of the well known
royal villa, White Lodge, within Rich
mond park, which was rendered vacant
through the deaths of the Duke and
Duchess Of Teck. parents Of the Ouch
ess Of Cornwall and York, say a Lon
don cable dispatch to the New York
Sun. No official statement on the sub
5ect has yet been made. but there is no
reason to doubt the accuracy Of the
newspaper announcement that King
Edward has granted the use Of the
residence to Mrs. Hartmann for her
life.
Mrs. Hartmann is not an American,
al has been stated. She is a German
by birth and is exceedingly popular
with the royal family, especially the
king, who, it seems. has been in the
habit Of dining frequently at her house
in Berkeley square with a few personal
friends.
There are two or three hostesses in
London little known to the world whose
houses the king and his family frequent
as personal friends and where they are
able to abandon the starch of royal
dignity, and Mrs. Hartmann's was one
Of them. She has been a frequent Wis
itor to S~andringham, the kings resi-
dence. She is a widow Of advanced
years and has considerable wealth.
The latter qualification is necessary for
the maintenance Of White Lodge, which
Is an expensive house to keep up.

Novel Method of BORING Bolt Hole.

A novel method of boring holes in a

on a ship where a breakdown occurred.
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. To re-

as the engineer was without the appli-

Waverly, Feb. II. There has been

been mostly along the line Of an electric

matter the most attention have not ar
rived at any conclusion with reference
TO the choice between electricity and
steam. Denver is a small town about
ten miles from Waverly, and its citizens
are determined to have either a line to
ssavelly or Waterloo, and they have a
good deal Of encourag cement from both
points. This line, if built from Waverly,

Mr.. Hull said that work would be COM

than July without fail. AT most the de-
partment would be able to expend
about 100000 before tfeSnext congress

is quite likely that Mr. Hull will ask
Senator Allison to attach a special pro-
vision of $3.50 GOO to one of the appropri-

purpose of beginning work on the new

In the opinion of the member from

amount estimated for by the war de-
partment at this time calls for $5l9, 900.

Iowa Falls. Feb. 1.-THE recent raver-

case of Mrs Julia Is .Parrncter, Of this
city, against the city of Marion. is Of
more than passing interest, especially to
the legal fraternity and to municipali-
ties, as indicating the position the high
er court takes on several points that
are liable to come up in any other city
or town of Iowa A couple OF years ago
Mrs Parmeter was passing along one
of the streets OF Marion. and when OPP
sposite a feed store was struck on the
head and shoulders by a bale OF hay
that fell from a platform that extended
over the sidewalk to the street Suit
was instituted to recover damages from
the city. In rendering an opinion the
court holds that the platform was not a
nuisance; that the accident might have
resulted az easily even If the platform
had not been allowed to remain in posi-
ton by3the city. Also that the city was
not expected to anticipate the negli-
gence OF a third party, and further that
the city could not be held liable until it
had been given notice that the platform
was being improperly used. The court
holds that the man conducting the feed
store and using the platform vas alone
responsible for his acts. This case Is
viewed with interest here on account of
q case of this city in the courts last
year involving the retention by private
parties of platform or crossing over a
gutter in order to gain access to the
