Referring to the war now going on in South Africa, recent dispatch in a London paper says that the great diffi- culty being met with by the British forces in these operations is the want of horses. What is required, apart from the spare horses, is large col umns, only half the men being em- ployed at night. It is impossible to require the men to stand more than three night marches weekly. Reading between the lines of this dispatch, one can easily detect that the outlook for the success of English arms is not as bright as the English newspapers would have their readers believe it to be. That lack of a suficiency of horses in military operations which cannot be carried out successfully without them is very significant It means the paralysis of the English army in South Africa. It also shows what aid the United States has been rendering England in her fight against the two South African republics by permitting England to ship horses and mules from this country. The London

BLAGOvESTSCH SCHENCK.
4 Name That Means Much to Con-
 gressman Hill.

Blagovestschenck.
 This seems like a very hard name, but Representative Hill of Connecti- cut, says a Washington exchange, pronounces it and even spells it, as readily as the name of his home city, of Norwalk. It is because of re- markable experience he had there last summer in the course of his tour around the world.
 One fine morning Mir Hill found himself in this city of the Amur river valley, unable to speak or comprehen a word of Russian, but very desir7 of delivering a letter of introduce he held to civil engineer of the nc of Fishback Sufficient communi ton was established with the propri tor of the hotel to induce him to con fde Mir Hill's wishes to a mujic, or Russian coachman, who was instruct ed to take the Nutmeg state traveller to the desired destination. With a flourish of his whip, the coachman started off his horses on the dead run, as the custom is i'll that section of the world. The nujic drove few squares down, a few squares to the left when all of a sudden he forgot what the boniface had told him.
 The parleying was painful and flu tile. The author of many financial measures utilized sign language to the best of his ability, but it was quite as useless as trying to squeeze an un- popular bill through the house of rep resentatives. At last Russian DO liceman hove into sight. By panto- mime and otherwise this official was impressed with Mir Hills mission in that part of the world. He compre- hended it forthwith, and mujic again lashed his horses into q furious pace and soon halted in front of an impos ing looking house surrounded by g wall. This, then, was the office of En gineer Fishback.

MISS PALMERs WEDDING GOWN

The wedding clothes of a girl are all ways of the highest interest. When that young woman is no less q person than Miss Palmer, fiancee of Senator Depew, such clothes are of importance to every woman.
 Miss Palmer's wedding gown, which has been made by Worth is of ivory white satin duchess. with long trained skirt edged with frills of chif- fon, over which falls q hounce of rich lace. There is an elaborate applique of rare lace on both skirt and bodice. The latter is slightly pouched, in Louis XV. style, and adorned with lace frills. The yoke is of tucked chiffon and the neekband of lace; the tulle veil fastened with a coronet of orange blossoms in empire fashion.
 The picturesque modes prevailing in the Louis XV. period are conspicuous in several of the costumes of Miss Palmer's trousseau, notably in hand some gown of pompadour silk, with garniture of rich lace.
 A delicious shade of pink velvet is the material composing a princess evening gown. The combination of I lace and fur, so decided a feature of i tu1S year costumes, IS well displayed | in this gown.
 The fur used is sable. This borders the skirt and is artistically introduced on the bodice with Irish lace.
 An evening cloak of white velvet de- serves special mention. It is trimmed With white artificial roses and hands of sable fur. Point de l. Alencon lace forms a deep collar and edges the cloak. the high standing collar beine of roses and fur.
 Sable fur is dominant note in the trimming of gowns and wraps. A handsome visiting costume of greer velvet is made with Louis Xy coat
 heavily embroidered and trimmed with sable.-New York World.

Representative Babcock's tariff

Representative Babcock's tariff re- vision bill, which was introduced ID the house of representatives recently, is troubling the republican leaders not 2 little. says an exchange. It deals with the iron and steel schedules ex- clusiyely, and, MT Babcock declares, was specially drawn so as to give no excuse to anybody to say that 1t would Justify the reduction of the pay of a single laborer if it became law. lie also says that the reductions proposeu by the bill would still leave ample margin for the protection of Amerlcan manufacturers of such articles as are still produced cheaper abroad. The republican leaders can kill the bill in congress easy enough, and intend te do it, but what is worrying them Is how will the voters take the killing of q measure that is so clearly in the in terest of the consumers and which would curb the power of the big steel trust by reducing it's profits. Demo crats in congress would gladly vote fol the bill if given an opportunity, but they are not expecting to get it. There are lots of republicans who could no1 be driven by the party whip to vote against the bill, so 1t is to be hung III on the cogs of the legislative machinery of the house, which is absolutely con 1 trolled by one man.

The main object of the efforts of the English government to prove that II was especially friendly to this country during our little Spanish war, says the Hartford Times, is thought to be to prevent an outbreak of sympathy Ill this country for the Boers, and pos sible movement for intervention III South Africa. The fact is, of course, that Russia and Great Britain were equally friendly to the United States during our little war with Spain. It would probably be difficult to show that one was more friendly than the other. England needs friendship just now and she thinks that the United States is a good port to put into.
