STORY OF A MULETEER.
says the British Tried TO Force Him Int
tho Army In South Africa.

BUFFALO, Feb. 22.-Newton Andrews.
who lives at 7o7 Michigan street In this oity.
says that the captain Of the British ahip
Oceanica attempted to force him to Join
the British Army in South Africa to fight
the Beers. Andrews says he was In New
Orleans last November and hired out Al
muleteer on the Oceanica to look after
mules being transported To the English
forces In South Africa. There were fifty
four other Americans on the boat, and they
were TO get $50 and q return passage for
their services in caring for the es mules.
When the boat reached Durham, Andrews
saws the captain told the Americans they
would have TO land before they could get
their pay. When they got on shore they
were told they would have to enlist In the
British Army. He says the men then
were told TO sign what they thought was
their payroll, put that they learned after
wards that the paper was a Pronunciation
OF their citizenship and an agreement to
Join the British Army. The Ooeanica was
anchored FIVE miles from shore and Andrews
SAYS a number of the men hired natives to
take them TO the boat, where they hid In
the hold. When they were found the vessel
was too far from shore to return, He says
he got si2 for his two months trip and was
forced 20 pass coal TO get food on his pas
sage home.

He Homes women VIII Vote.

New HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 22.-In speaking
this afternoon at the thirteenth annual
Washington Birthday banquet OF the Con-
n~ecticut SOM Of the American Revolution
held In this city former Gov. Thomas Nj.
Waller said;
while I have TO confess that l am not
one Of the descendants or Sons Of the
American REVOLUTIONARY ] am not, as l
understand It, qualified TO be one, either
I am proud TO say that ! am the father Of
several OF the descendants. and a grand
f~ather-young as l feel-of a large and in
creasing number besides. And that Is
not all, nor Is it the best OF IL, for ! am more
nearly related to the Daughters OF the
Revolution than l am TO the Sons. l am the
husband Of one Of them, the father Of
another and the grandfather Of two Of them,
and, as the politicians say, the counties
are not all yet heard FROM
Il am not one Of you because my an
cestors came from that emerald isle In the
sea, whose sons nave fought and died in
every struggle for liberty in this and every
other part of the world. We acknowledge
gladly, and that without envy, too, that
life may DO as safe, property as secure,
laws as liberal. courts as just. family and
social relations as charming In England
and other monarchioal countries as they are
here, but i cannot help thinking, and, upon
an occasion like this, l cannot help saying
that there Is one thing they lack TO make
them as free and happy as we are, or ought
to be. and that one thing they Lack is the
right our fathers fought Tor, and obtained
for US, and that we are still enjoying, the
in~alienable fight to say who shall n
who shall not rule over US, In town, State,
city, and nation.
III Is, you know, but a few years ago that
four millions Of people. and even to-day our
freedom. enlarged as II Is, refuses TO give
to one-haH Of our people, and. as Mrs.
Beecher Hooker says, the mothers OF the
other half q right to say a word as to who
shall rule over them. We are so used
to this that IL may not seem to most OF us,
including even our wives, sisters and sweet
hearts, as much OF a hardship.
But ] believe as l do In my existence
that the time will come when we shall won
der why women were ever held In political
bondage, as much as we wonder now that
eur freedom suffered human slavery to
last 30 long. The time may be far dis
tant, 1t may be a decade. and IL may be a
century, for the mills OF God grind slowly,
but IL surely will come. l speak Of this
here not TO awaken controversy, or to
arouse agitation, for the occasion is In
opportune, but ! cannot for the life OF me
thank God for the large measure of freedom
American men enjoy without speeding
the day when American women can, u
they will enjoy, a like measure Of 1t. And
In saying this / rejoice TO know that l am
only echoing the words OF he illustrious
Justice Marshall and a long line Of other
great men whose careers adorn our history

ton Of legality would still be unsettled.
