Lord Methuen's Defeat.

II is not necessary to dwell upon the
Importance of Gen. DELAREY S last blow
in the western Transvaal, 20 foresee
that It must have a damaging effect
on the immediate future of the campaign
in South Africa, and perhaps prolong
it beyond the term generally expected
in England. 1t was a stroke OF real
genius, and compares favorably with
Gen. DE VETS memorable attack on
Sannas Post near Bloemfontein just
about two years ago.
Gen. METHUEN seems 70 have been
contemplating a concentration with
GRENFELL at Rooirant jesfontein twenty
miles south from Lichtenburg, which
appears to have been the objective OF
his march, and sixty miles northwest
from Klerksdorp, the scene of DE-
LABEY's previous exploit at the end OF
last month. Apparently Gen. METHUEN
was moving up from the southwest,
and was caught by DELANEY, who had
turned his back on Klerksdorp, in one
of those situations with which IL was
the delight Of the first NAPOLEON 10 deal.
According to the accounts the action
opened by an attack on the rearguard
which was driven forward on TO and
through the main body of the column,
while at the same time an envelopng
attack on both fanks was developed
and vigorously pushed.
The slower-moving OK train was
overwhelmed by the stampeded mules
Of the following convoy, and in the
confusion that was created the whole
column lay at the mercy Of the Beers,
whose tactics made their victory COM
plete. Further accounts will no doubt
explain the conduct of nearly one-half
of Gen. METHUEN's force which was
pursued for four miles from the scene
Of the action. and made their way with
due speed to Maribago and Kraaipan.
TO the shelter of the bloCkhouse line on
the railway south of Mafeking. How
it came about that so considerable n
number as 500 mounted British troops
should have abandoned the field when
the whole force of the enemy could
hardly have exceeded |, 200 is expliCable
only on the supposition that their leaders
were incompetent VI lidt tlc olIcl
troops have become what reports that
escape the censor describe as thor
oughly demoralized, and in the newer
levies, unframed and physically unfit.
Lord KITCHENERs reflection that the
sudden revival Of activity on the part Of
DELAREY is in order TO draw of the force
pursuing DE WET is no doubt the correct
one; but it could not be expected that
he would do his work so thoroughly.
What the Boer Generals next move will
be is Of considerable interest, as, should
he succeed in cutting of the force under
Gen. GRENFELL so suddenly left in the
air, the whole plan Of operations of Lord
KITCHENER in that part Of the Trans
vaal will have TO be remodelled and con-
siderable reenforcements sent 10 check
the Beers.
1t is not TO be supposed that what has
Just happened will affect the determina-
ton of the British Government to see the
war through, but it must open their
ewes 20 the necessity for increasing the
fighting force in South Africa by better
material in the rank and file Of the army
and substituting competent leaders for
mere court favortes.

The Northern Securities Case.

The Federal District Attorney for
the District OF Minnesota MILTON D..
PuBpY-with the Attorney-General and
the Solicitor General Of the United States
az counsel-has filed bill Of complaint,
or a petition in equity, in the United
States Circuit Court for the District
Of Minnesota in the name of the United
States against the Northern Securities
Company, the Great Northern Railway
Company, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company and others az defendants.
The bill, which is long and voluminous,
seeks to enjoin perpetually the defend
ants from communicating the pro-
posed merger of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railroads into
what II terms the holding corpora
tion,- the Northern Securities Company,
alleging that such merger is in violation
Of the Sherman Antitrust law as being
q combination or conspiracy in restraint
of interstate trade and commerce.
The Sherman law OF 1890, chapter 6i7,
provides that every contract, combina-
ton in the form OF trust or otherwise,
or conspiracy in restraint OF trade or
commerce among the several States,
or with foreign nations, is hereby de-
clared to be illegal" and in its second
sections it makes IN attempt TO monopo-
lie or a combination to monopolize any
part OF the trade or commerce among
the several States a misdemeanor.
To the several Circuit Courts OF the
United States is given jurisdiction to pre-
vent and restrain violations Of this act.
The question which first arises is:
rs the petition SO faulty in it's construo-
ton. or 80 defective in its material ale
cations or averments Of fact, as TO be
demurrable, and to warrant judgment of
dismissal on the plaintiffs statement"
The bill is strong and clear, and
this is said without expressing any
opinion as to what may be the decision
of the court as to its form or the sufii-
cheney of its statement should such ques-
tions be raised. Also:
!. Are the alleged facts stated suffi-
GENTLY in detail?
ii. Are some Of the averments merely
conclusions or inferences?
III. II carefully and correctly pleaded,
and even II admitted, do the facts
alleged constitute any infraction of the
Federal statute
These questions Of pleading may be
% interwoven with the merits Of the
case as to depend for their ultimate
disposition upon the actual trial of the
suit In equity after the joinder Of issue.
II IL manifest that the filing of a bill
IN equity 80 ably drawn and invoking so
drastic a remedy creates a situation
which cannot be regarded lightly. But
it would seem to us that in reality and
In essence, no cause of action against
these defendants exists, and that the
proposed merger cannot ultimately be
enjoined or prevented.
The final questions TO be decided must

in the Northern Pacific Railroad or in
the Great Northern Railroad, or in both?
And cannot any other citizen, say the
Northern Securities CompShy Of New
Jersey, do the same?

Big Lodges of Free Gold.
But the claim that has well-deffned
ledge of the characteristic quartz of the
country is worth a round sum, for the
veins are all of good size and the ore
is all free milling, values running from
S. to $3.50 per ton in gold. Some or
these veins are from twenty to thirty
feet wide, and the ore can be produced at
a trifling cost per ton. All of the
stories that have been started in regard
to $40 to $50 per ton having been caught
Hutchinson says that the highest return
from the matchmaking plates was not
more than SO per ton But the values
are so thoroughly distributed, there are
such immense bodies of the ore and the
ore is so easily treated that there is no
longer any doubt of the future of the
camp. 1t is already spoken of as a
strong rival to Deadwood and as the
values are higher than those of the
Homestake ore, there are very many who
are firm in the belief that the camp will
not be long in making a record that will
eclipse that Of the great mines OF South
Dakota.

scribed district. North from Thunder

these ships have been receiving small

epidemic of the last few months-the dis
ease has been constantly present in the
neighboring Essex district. Within three
quarters of mile from the ships not
less than S.S per cent of the inhabitants
have been attacked In the part of this
area much exposed to the infected wind,
moreover, y per cent of the population
have become victims, while in a part

tended about two miles.
From a study of leprosy in South
Africa Mr.. j. Hutchinson concludes that
the primary cause is the use as food of
badly cured salt fish. He does not be-
lieve that the disease is infectious or
contagious in the ordinary sense. but
that it may be Communicated by eating
food poisoned by a 1eper's hands. Iegis-
lative control of the sfsh-curing establish
ments is the most important means of
prevention. There should also be warn
