UNIFORMS APPRECIATED.
Sad Fate of Ixnffirs Who Accumulated . Supply of Secondhand Britt
 ish Regim entals.

The predominant attribute of the Kaffir is vanity, an attribute which he possesses in common with all saw ages and most white men. This van ity has caused. the Kaffirs in South Africa to acquire about 50 per cent. of the British army tunics which have landed in that continent. Thom as Atkins, as q rule, is not over blessed with money, consequently he cannot resist the temptation of the five golden sovereigns which the Kaffir is prepared to give for any scarlet tunic which is not in the least stage of decay, says Blackword's Magazine.
 The transfer of uniforms came to such pitch that an army order was issued cn the subject. Not that an army order was sufficient to stay, the general traffic in British uniforms, but it furnished such right-ninded soldiers as the horse-gunner majors with tie s'cue" which they required. Certain Kafirs had struck new and green regiment, and being themselves near the end of a six months con- tract, they were 'sfuIl of money.''
 Consequently at Britstown, where money had possessed extra fascina tions for the British soldier, the 'tboys'' attached to the battery had been able to lay in very complete outfit in line regimenta1s. An investi- gation was made; every kit was laid bare. The revelation was wonderful. There was not driver or ssvoor loop err who had not his scarlet jerkin. sA |. 4~x- | !, ing of forage caps, field service caps, dragoon overalls and gunner slacks. The Kaffirs had at first looked upon the kit inspection as joke. But they lapsed into puzzled silence when they saw their belongings cast upon D common heap. Their great white eyes grew bigger and bigger, and their repulsive lips wider and wider apart, until, when the last bag had oeen ransacked, the torch was applied to the pile of clothing.
 Then they realized the blasting of all their hopes, and with one accord they, gave vent to a despairing yell which attracted the attention of the camp. They became like men pos sessed. Shifting themselves heavily upon the head with their fists they
 
 went through the paroxysms of ne groid fermentation. One could almost feel for them, great bronzed children that they are They had worked hard for months, shared the priva- tions and dangers of war with the white men, in order that they might return to their kraals bedecled as they thought in all the glory of the white mans clothes. To them the Utopia of life would have been their homecoming. The admiration of chattering women, the exclamation of piceaninnies, and the hideous smile of their paramount chief as they humbly presented him with bat tered helmet in a semi-decayed state of pipe-clay finish. But the officer in command was no phi1anthropist when the honor of the uniform which his family had worn for two cen turies was at stake. And he was right.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS
Probability of Austin Rice and Cor.
 bett Meeting Here


 The fight that was scheduled to be pulled off at the International Athletic club at Fort Erie tonight between Joe Cans and Kid Mcfarland has been postponed to Monday, Oat 13. While boxing with Herman Miller Saturday Joe ans injurGed one of his hands. Manager Herman of the club acceeded to the request of the colored boxer and granted a weeks grace ask ed for.
 New York, Oct 6.-Dal Hawkins, the California lightweight, wishes to fight Cans, the ebony hued champion, of that class. Hawkins arrived from the west late on Friday night and at once struck for an uptown cafe, the first oasis he stopped at after long, dry ride.
 ..Yes, I am anxious to fight Joe Gans,'' declared Hawkins. II have an idea that I can win all right, and to back up my opinion I have q thousand dollars with me to put up on the con- test. I don't care much where the fight takes place, and there won't be much controversy about terms and conditions so far as I am concerned. E Hawkins produced roll of money and left S1,00O of it with a responsi- ble businsss man for the purpose or binding a match.
 In all probability the next glove con- test to be decided i'll this city will De under the auspices of the Waterbury Athletic club, with John Hurley as president and William Crowley as matchmaker. Interest fn the affair was given big boom Saturday when Charles H. Thompson of the New Lon don Day appeared here in the interest of Austin Rice. He had an interview with many people in this city and all were of the opinion that Rice was tA'o man to go against Young Corbett if the match was arranged and the license secured. Such a match would be worth going far to see. Rice is one of the boxers who always gives a person a run for his money and the people of Connecticut believe that he will give Corbett the best go of any of the box CTS named. There is one thing sure and that is that the patrons Of the game will not be stacked up against a prearranged affair when Rice is inter- ested. The date and place of the match will be announced later.

On the Cuban Reciproc-
ity Bill.
T0BE PARTYMEASURE
Republican Senators Will OPP
pose House Sugar Provision
--Hanna Favors Concss'
sions to the Islands.

Washington, April 23.-There will be
an early meeting of the senate com
mittee on relations with Cuba to take
up the question on the basis of the
house bill which Is now before that
committee; the Republican members
of the committee will act together in
formulating a substitute for the house
bill, and none of them is to cooperate
with the Democratic members of the
committee; the bill thus agreed upon
by the Republican members to be sub
mitted to Republican caucus of the
senate and made party measure.
Senator Hanna declared that the Re-
publican party is pledged to guar
dianship Of the interests Of the Cuban
people and said that it was one of the
dearest wishes of President Mckinley
that Cuban industry should be foster
ed by the United States by reciprocal
arrangement such as was proposed.
Senator Foraker agreed fully with
his colleague as to the necessity Of
legislation along the lines suggested,
and intimated that he would be willing
to concede greater reduction from
the Dingley rates than had been sug-
gested.
Frequent reference was made in the
discussion to the attitude of absent
Republican senators as well as to that
of Democratic senators. 1T was stated
that quite number of the Demo-
Gratis were favorable to the proposed
reciprocal arrangement, and the opin-
| ion was vouchsafed that in the end
all the Republicans could be brought
| into line on fair bill.
1t was generally agreed that most
Of the opposing Republican senators
are from the sugar beet growing states,
but the fact was brought out that
there are some Republican senators
who are inclined to oppose the legisla-
ton for other reasons. 1t was stated
for instance, that Senator Elkins OBJ
| jects to the legislation on the ground
that 1t is unfair to other nations and
can be justly complained of by them.
| The consensus OF opinion seemed tc
be that bill granting not to exceed
25 per cent reduction should be re.
ported by the committee, and there
was general unanimity as to the advis.
ability of eliminating the house pro,
vision striking out the difrerentia
duty on refined sugar.
