TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

A rather unexpected result has fol-
lowed MIR. Chamberlain's recent speech
in support of the scheme for sending
clusion of the war. An enormous
number of letters has been received
from women eager to emigrate and re-
luctant to wait till hostilities are
ended. One woman who wrote direct
to Lord Salisbury said she was pre-
pared to go outat once with her mother
and sisters, but she indicated no par
ticular sphere of usefulness. Another
wrote to the colonial Office in behalf
of herself and few other "first-class
lady BARRIERS" Naturally the colonial
office authorities are doing their ut
most to discourage applications from
women other than those who are self
dependent, and girls of the servant
type are urgently advised not to go
out at all. 1t is very doubtful whether
there will be any openings for them,
and the public funds cannot be used
for the purpose of granting free pas
sages TO the cape.

A college p ofessor. reading Lord
Rayleigh's Theory of Sound" a few
years ago, became particularly inter
ested in that part which relates to the
vibration of cords. He began to study
he waves which travel along a cord
when one end is shaken. and then to
experiment with cords loaded at in
tervals with weights, and vibrating in
lir or water. What could he hope TO
learn from such Investigations? What
practical results were to be looked fol?
lie could not tell. nor could any one
else have told. Yet he studied the sub
iect for five years. The facts he dis
covered make 1t probable that tele-
phone communication may take place
under three thousand miles of sea, and
the professor has sold his invention for
half a million dollars.

Sr Robt. Harris scheme to enable
China to raise sufficient money to pay
off the allies indemnity claims, seems
to be meeting with favor among the
foreign ministers. This plan provides
for the banking of the salt and like
taxes over to the maritime customs al
ministratioD and the levying of an an
nual house tax equal to one-half a
months rent, which il is calculated
will provide 10000, 900 taels yearly.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns on the highest authority
that Prince Tuan's fate has been finally
decided. His death sentence will be
committed to Punishment to Turlxestan.

headed and several degradations. The
Chinese mmissioners are surprised
that the guilty officials should escape
with such light punishmcnts.
Although no official notification has
reached the President of the departure
of Prince Ii Hung Chang from Pekin
for Shanghai, the officials are inclined
to believe that he has done so, and that
Ii Hung Chang is really leaving Pekin
for good and because the emperor is
displeased with his conduct of the ne
gotiations. Ii favored the signing of
the Manchurian treaty which China
has turned down.
The Chinese government has form
ally notified Russia that China, owing
to the attitude of the powers, is not
able to sign the Manchurian con-
vention.

The German army has furnished an
other terrible illustration of what duel
ing means. An infantry captain pres
ent at an officers dinner took offense
at the innocent but rough horse-play
of an army surgeon, rad struck him.
He then retired to his quarters. In a
little while two officers representing
the surgeon appeared with challenge.
Before they could deliver it a brother
OF the surgeon entered and shot the
captain dead. His excuse was that he
sacrificed himself to save his brother,
the surgeon, who had a wife and chill
dren, and could hardly hope to sur
vive a duel with the offended captain,
a noted pistol-shot. Such an incident
must come home with peculiar force
TO the emperor, who has frankly COM
mended dueling in the army as the
proper way for soldier to protect his
honor"
