The dead = Sea.

The Dead sea, which for thousands
of years has been a forsaken solitude
in the midst of a desert, on whose
waves no rudder has been seen for
centuries, is to have a line Of motor
boats in the future. Owing to the
continued increase in traffic and the
influx of tourists, shorter route is to
be found between Jerusalem and Ke-
rak, the ancient capital of the Land
of Moab.
The first little steamer built at one
Of the Hamburg docks, is about 100
feet long. An order has already been
given for the building of second
steamer. The one already built and
OH the way is named Prodromos THAT
is, ''forerunner'). 1t will carry 81 per-
SONS, together with freight Of all kinds.
The promoters Of this new enterprise
are the inmates OF Greek cloister in
Jerusalem. The management of the
line is entirely in German hands.

bay the private property of unarmed
citizens was pillaged by the officers
and crews of the British vessels Of
war. Houses were burned and places
of public worship mutilated and de-
| filed. Officers of the British navy, ami
mated by the presence of Admiral
Cockburn, particularly distinguished
themselves in these exploits.
The testimony collected by the COM
mittee proved conclusively that they
were governed by the combined mo-
tives of avarice and revenge. Not sat
isfied with carrying off, for their own
use, valuable articles, other things, too
bulky or which furnished no allure
ments to their cupidity, were wanton-
ly defaced and destroyed. It was al
legged by some British officer, in pallia-
tion Of these acts of wanton cruelty,
that white flag sent on shore by the
admiral was fired upon by the Ameri-
can militia. The evidence proves this
not to have been the fact. This pre-
tense has been resorted to only to ex-
cuse conduct which no circumstance
can justify.
The little hamlets of Frederick and
Georgetown, on Sassafras river, on the
eastern shore of Maryland, were de-
stroyed by fire, live stock slaughtered
and carried away, and all supplies, fur
niture, bedding, clothing, that could
not be conveniently carried away were
destroyed.
At Havre de Grace, one Lieutenant
Westfall told Mrs. Roxanna Moore that
if she did not get out of her house it
would be burned with her and her
children in it.
The troops looted her house, and
upon her soliciting one of the soldiers
to spare her few little things for the
baby, not two months old, he replied
II will take everything can; it's what
we came for" and Immediately seized
shawl, which was nearly all the COW
ering the little baby had at that time,
being held in its mothers arms.
The details of the looting at all these
places will make interesting reading
for those who are inclined to favor an
Anglo-American alliance.

Davitt ON Delarey.

Michael Davitt, who spent several
months in South Africa during the
present war, writes Of General Delarey
in the Dublin Freeman as follows:
Koos Delarey is not "an old man."
Lord Roberts is nearly ten years older
He is in the prime Of his military man.
hood, but looks little older than he
really is.
His father fought against the Eng
lish in his day, and the property of the
family was confiscated, compelling the
Delareys to move into the Transvaal,
where they settled in the Lichtenburg
district, between Pretoria and Mafe-
king.
Delarey is not the --latest hero" Of
the war; He has been a hero from the
beginning. 1t was he who won the
first battle, and took the first batch of
British prisoners, at the engagement
with the armored train at Kraipann,
near Mafeking, a few days before the
battle Of Talana Hill. Fifty-siX Eng
lish surrendered to a small body of
Delarey's men. The English press, in
publishing the lingo report of the en-
gagemcnt. declared that "Ncsbitt and
his band of heroes" had "probably per-
ishcd to Il man at their posts" after
"inflicting terrible punishment" upon
the Beers. No English We're killed, and
no Beers. Captain Ncsbitts thumb
was little injured, that was all, when
the British hoistcd the white flag and
surrendered.
Delarey has been in more regular en-
gagements during the war than any
other Boer general, and has probably
inflicted more defeats upon the heroic
foemen who succeeded in burning his
farm than any of his confreres, ex-
cepting General Louis Rotha. He
fought a force Of fully 5000 British
at Abraham's Kraal, for a whole day.
with 300 men, and, though his losses
were heavy, he placed six times the
number of his enemies hors dc combat
He assured me while I was visiting
him at Brandford last May that Chris
tian De Wet, General Philip Botha
and himself could have extricated Cen
eral Cronje from Paardebcrg if that
brave but eccentric officer had been
more willing to listen to the advice Of
his friends than to rely upon the re-
sources of foolish and fanatical be-
lief in his own military infallibility.
Had Delarey been in Cronje's place,
Roberts and his valiant house-burning
and women-arresting warriors would
not have yet arrived in Bloemfontein
1t will be recollected that he bagged
number of the British last July very
near where he gave others of their
kind sound thrashing few days
ago, on the Mageliesberg hills, only
some thirty miles from Pretoria.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1901-01-26

Delarey has a supreme contempt for
the British as fighters, and holds that
one Boer is fair match for five of the
gentlemen and heroes" whom Roberts
had the honor to command.
1t will be found when all the facts
arrive that Delary's force at the battle
just fought was nothing like. as strong
as Kitchener's account would repre-
sent 1t to be. Just before the general
election he had been "killcd" while
leading starved and wrctchcd com
mando Of 300 Beers" "all heartily sick
of the war, etc" He has again licked
his enemies and, therefore, he must
have had $500 men under him when
he did it-that is, after the general
election. ....
Your readers will be interested to
learn that in October last two of De
larey's guns were in charge of two
young men who were born and bred
not hundred miles from sleepy lit
tie town in the north of a small Leins
ter county. .....
The general is about five feet nine
in height, and well, but not stoutly
built He has dark hair, black eye
! brows, and dark, deep, dreamy browI
eyes, strong Roman nosc and full
. darkisl beard. His face is very hand
some and noble-looking and imprcsses
you as being the true index of a kindly
and lovable nature. He is Of n quiet
disposition, and talks very little. When
seated in his saddle he looks an ideal
natural soldier, and though he has
probably never studied work on mill
tary science in his life. he possesses
/ greater generalship than a lifetime OF
campaigning and study has given tc
any half dozen of the titled military
buffers he has confronted and beaten
IN his campaign. But he has never
burned house or arrested Il woman
in his life; therefore there can be nc
true glory or real military renown fo1
such "a savage Boer," in English esti
nation.
Brabant's Horse, some of whom have
just been beaten near De Vets coun.
try, had the reputation Of including
the choicest ruffians of South Africa
They have burned more houses, and
done more looting than any other corps
OF the "heroes and gentlemen" who
have so distinguished themselves in
this glorious war against women and
children and BOer homes and farms.

RYAN DECIDES FOR WOOD
By Refusing to Order a Hearing
of the Case.
TOWNSHIP JUMPERS TO "GIT."

Washington, Sept. 2.-In the contest
case of j. L. Calvert against James r.
Wood, coming from Lawton, o. T.,
land district, and involving entry No
1, the acting secretary of the interior
has refused to order a hearing of the
case The charges upon which the
contest was founded were substantially
that Woods entry was made in viola
ton of the homestead law by reason of
its location on the south line of the
town of Lawton. And that the entry
embraces tract a mile long and only
a quarter of a mile wide, and was so
taken for speculative purposes and not
for agricultural purposes and that the
entry was made at time when there
were large number of townsite set
tiers on the land who occupied it for
trade and business purposes. The de
ciSion holds that the selection of land
adjacent to the town of Lawton was
not in violation of the letter or spirit
of the law and that the fact that there
may have been alleged townsite settlers
On the land at the time he made his
entry does not affect Woods right OF
entry.
The land was not subject to appro
priation for townsite purposes, nor wa:
any person entitled to enter upon it ol
occupy it for the purposes of trade OF
business, and no such occupancy could
operate to defeat his right to enter. 1
IS further held in the OOiOiOu tina
Woods entry is not bad on account o
the form of the tract embraced. Th'
secretary says that under the act O
June 6, 1900, making provision for th'
disposition of these lands, it is directed
that they shall be disposed of unde
the general provisions of the home
stead and townsite laws of the United
States and under this law Woods loca
tion is valid.

STREET RAILWAYS SUFFER.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 3.-The citi-

While the entire city was more or less

water vented its anger over miles of

The appalling overflow was caused by

of and ). and then continued with
great force until nearly 10 o'clock.
The storm, according to weather Off
Gals, was the heaviest that ever swept

The surging waters spread over an
era in the East end nearly miles long
and mile and half wide.
This extended from W oOdland Hills

East Madison avenue.
Over large share of an extensive
residence territory the water rushed
with terrific force, varying in depth
from 1 to feet. Culverts, trestles and
bridges were torn down and for hours
nothing seemed capable of stemming
