FAMINE IN HORSES.
Scarcity of Good Animals Owing to
 Exports to South Africa.

Harper's Weekly.
 We are horse poor-not as some people are land poor, because they have 100 much land-but horse poor because we haven't enough horses. Our neighbor. The Scientific American, has been com plaining about it. After the civil war we found ourselves short of horses of the bigger types, and began importing them tor breeding purposes. We imported them to good purpose and in very large mum bers, and greatly improved the quality of our stock. When electricity began to haul street cars, the market for the com moner kinds of horses fell off. and farm CTS didn't breed so many.
 When the automobiles began to appear and were heralded as machines that must supercede the use of carriage horses, the breeders of the better class of horses took fright. For years after '93 too, thou sands of people who wanted horses could not afford to have them. But with the return of prosperity the demand for good horses began to grow again. and breeders pred more of them. But it takes about five years to raise horse that Is fit for the market and the breeders got behind. The demand has outrun the supply; the price of a good horse has increased very greatly, and imported stallions are said to be worth nearly ten times what they were ten years ago. The South African war took a great number of horses out of the country, including many worthless ones, but the business of horse-breeding has revived.

 That General Manning Is to have 5000 British troops does not for moment mean that he is to be backed by an army of 5000 Englshmen. Probably Africa, since the days of the Carthagenians. has seen no such army as that that is to march under the British colors in this Somaliland expedition. Such varied types of fighting men. serving under mere handful of officers of a totally dit- ferent race and creed. sunaccompanied by troops of their own nation, have prob ably never been seen before. Five thous- and warriors!- !--Sikhs from the Punjsb. Hindus from Bombay. black regiments from East Africa and Central Africa, and regiments of Seudanese. A complete na- tive hospital train from India, and in all that British host about to fight under the Union Jack not a single company of English troops, and so few officers of the English race that they might easily pass unuoticed in the crowd. The newly conquered Boers even volunteered to form a regiment for service in East Africa. but the Government, thanking them for their offer, could not see its way to availing itself of their services.
 Opposed to these the Mullah has 1000 rifles, a Maxim and about 15,O00 spear men, and his force is growing during the British delay through the necessity of collecting transport, establishing wells. food depots and transport reserves. for the line of communication. Also the British are of necessity awaiting supplies. for the country is without resources.

A Thanksgiving Surprise.

kanSaS NlIy SIdT.
 The Nebraska man who was startled at breakfast Thanksgiving morning by read ing an account of his divorce from his wife who at that moment sat opposite him at table had a unique experience, but he may yet have cause to be thank ful. Divorces are not often surprises to those affected by them. but where a wife shows such q lack of confidence in her husband as not to let him in on her plans for separation. divorce in any form ought to be a pretty good thing.

MARINES ORDERED OUT.
Garrison at Norfolk Going in Full War
Equipment.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, September 12.-For
the first time since the trouble with China
the marine corps has been placed suddenly
on war footing. The officers Of the gar
rson here late last night received orders
by telegraph to prepare Immediately for
service and join at the very earliest mo-
ment the expeditionary force now being fit
ted out at League Island yard. The officers
and their detachments will leave today.
The officers feel quite certain that the ma
rines are being sent out as landing force.
They will take camp equipage with them.
The landing of force on the isthmus it
is pointed out would not be an act of war
against Colombia. 1t is rather believed
that the Colombian government will wei
come the American forces, whose sole mis-
sion Is TO preserve order. The officers do
not anticipate any serious fighting, but
they will go prepared. The marines will
carry their Gatling and other field artillery
used in effecting landings on hostile
coast. 1t is anticipated that the rebels
against the Colombian government may Of
fer some resistance to the landing Of a
force they know will preserve order and
stop their reign of terror
1t is intimated by the officers that the
sending Of a large force Of marines, in ad-
d1tion to those carried by the three ships
of war that have been ordered to the dis
turbed isthmus, is in the nature Of a pre-
caution against the seizure Of Colombian
territory by any other nation and the re-
suit Of the recent events in Haiti.

COL. BURBANK RETIRED.
He Was a Veteran Of the War of the
Rebellion.

Col. James B. Burbank of the artillery
corps, commanding the post of Fort Han
cock, n. j., has been placed on the retired
list of the army on account of age. Col
onel Burbank is veteran OF the war of
the rebellion, in which he served as first
lieutenant and then as captain of the Goth
Connecticut Volunteers. He was brevetted
twice, the last time as major of volunteers,
for gallant conduct at the battle of Chan
cellorsvile. In May, 1864 he enlisted in the
regular army as a private and in March,
1865, was appointed second lieutenant of
the Sd Artillery. He reached the grade of
colonel in April last, and was the junior
colonel of artillery His retirement will

Mills to be colonel and Maj. c. Chase to be
lieutenant colonel.
Colonel Burbank was for some years sta
toned at Cornell University, where he was
detailed as professor of military science
and tactics He raised the standard of the
University Cadet Corps to a high rank.
He was an enthusiastic supporter of the
students athletic ventures and gave freely
his valuable aid. 1t was mostly through
his exertions that Cornell sent its first crew
to Henley-a four in 1881, which afterward
went to Vienna and was the only Amer-
can crew tEat has rowed on the Danube.

PROF. RAwsoN TRANSFERRED
Will Be Professor Of Mathematics al
the Naval Academy.

An order has been issued at the Navy De-
partment detaching Prof. E. X Rawson
from duty as librarian of the Navy Depart
ment and ordering him to duty at the An
napolis Naval Academy. This order is in
pursuance Of Secretary Moody's policy Of
assigning as many professors of mathe-
matics to the academy as the exigencies of
the service may permit. Prof Rawson
served at the academy as a chaplain prior
to his appointment as professor of mathe-
matics. He has been librarian at the Navy
Department since March 81. 1897 1t is
thought probable that several other mathe-
maticians will be assigned to duty at the
academy in the course of a few DAYS In
all probability retired officer or a civilian
will be given the place at the department
made vacant by the transfer of Prof. Raw
SON. Captain Richard Rush, retired. is

CONTRACT SURGEONS.
Their Status Defined by the Controller
of the Treasury

AT the instance of the Secretary of War
the controller of the treasury has defined
the status of contract surgeons In the army.
He holds that contract surgeons being civil
employees their employment and compensa-
ton are dependent upon contract. Their
right of demand to salary Is a claim upon
the United States within the meaning of
section 3477, Revised Statutes, and they
are prohibited by said section from trans
ferring or assigning their current pay ac-
counts. Any such assignment the con-
troler says, would be null and void, and
any executive order authorizing such trans
fers or assignments would be in contraven-
ton of the law and without effect.
