Great Britain's Expenses in Boer
War are Mounting Up.
MORE NEEDED TO END WAR
A Gigantic Scheme Undertaken % Expand
the Army-war Secretary Hints at Con-
scription to Obtain Recruits Cabinet and
Country Worried by the Strain.

LONDON, March The state
ment made by Mr. Broderick,
secretary of state for war, in the
house of commons, last night in
connection with the army esti-
mates, together with numerous
articles in the March reviews. IL
Illustrates how deeply the Boer
war has affected the finances, mil
itary policy and general political
philosophy of the empire.
The minister's of wars figures
show that the cost of the strug-
gle now approaches 1000, O00.-
600. Unofficial authorities esti-
mate that twice that sum will be
required to finish the conquest of
the republics.
The outlook has driven a num-
Der of the greatest IntellectS in
the country to prescribe free
trade and demand an imperial
zollverein as the only possible
means of raising sufficient money
for meeting foreign competition
and holding the empire together.
The war has led the govern
ment to undertake the largest
. scheme for army expansion in the
history of the country, besides
increasing the pay of the private
soldiers by an aggregate of near
ly $40, 100000 a year If thate x-
pedient fails to get 80, 900 recru-
its annually, Mr.. Broderick re-
news the hint that CONSUMPTION
will be the next move,
The strain OF the war has made
the cabinet and part of the coun-
try nervous. Their vision is
vexed with diplomatic specters.
Every new phase of continental
al policy is construed into a threat
against England. Politicians and
journalists shout for alliances
and urge the most exclusive
measures of political and econom-
ic imperialism.
A dispatch to the Standard

DeWet and ex-President Steyn

COMPLIMENTS INDIANA STONE
Secretary Shaw Pronounces 1t Fine Build.
ing Material.

WASHINGTON. March Rep
resentative Miers called on Sec
rotary OF the Treasury Shaw this
morning and presented him with
a letter signed by the entire In
diana congressional delegation
asking that Indiana limestone be
used as the material for the con-
struction of the new federal build
ing at Indianapolis. The secre
tary read the letter and then de-
livered to Representative Miers
some fine compliments on the
Indiana stone. He said that
when he was governor of Iowa
three state buildings were con-
structed in that State in which
Indiana stone was used, and that
he considered it to be a very fine
building material. When MIR.
Miers left the secretary he was
very much pleased with his IN
terview. and said that he had by
no means lost hope Of having the
Indianapolis building of native
stone. No action whatever will
be taken on the appeal of the In
diana members until after the
bids are opened, and if, after the
proposals are compared, it is
found those providing for Indiana
stone are much less, then a strong
effort will be made IN behalf of
the Bedford stone. On the 9TH
er hand, if the proposals for
granite and marble are very low
and those for limestone high, the
Indianians will not feel justified
in making an appeal for native
stone, and will leave the entire
matter to the judgment of the
secretary of the treasury and his
supervising architects.

CANNOT FIGHT MERGER
Minnesota Unable to Interfere With
Northern Securities Concern.

IVO1ttuSIU SSSUIiSlSS NOOCSIUs
ST. PAUR, Mimi, Mar. THE
state of Minnesota is barred by
the decision of the supreme court
from taking action in any court
against the Northern Securities
company.
This remarkable state of affairs
has been made plain to local at
torneys interested IN the case,
since receiving copies of the
courts decision. It's effect is
that the state cannot join issues
with the corporation, either in
the supreme court or circuit
courts, and as the state courts
cannot reach it, the bar is effect
ual.
AS far as the recent suit is con.
cerned, the issue seems to be
closed, but for future suits of the
sort the rule is regarded as most
unfortunate. There is only one
way 20 alter it, and that is byxa
act Of congress expressly grant
ing power to the Federal courts
to entertain such suits. Such g
bill may be introduced at this
session.

Sudden Blindness and Dizzi-

The first step to the finding of cure
for any disease is to find its cause. And

BRYAN DENOUNCES HILL.
Says He Was Deserter in 1896 and Wa
Sulky and Insincere in 1900.

LINCOLN. Neb., March w.
J. Bryan has made it plain that
he is opposed to David B. Hill as
democratic candidate for presi-
dent and that he will fight him
from start to finish. Mr.. Bryan
says the Manhattan club speech
of the former senator shows that
he is seeking the presidency. Mr..
Bryan devotes several columns
/ of today's Commoner detailing
his grievances against Mr.. Hill,
and explains why he should be
beaten for the nomination. He
says that Hill deserted him in
1896 and in 1900 he was a sulker
and inslncere. In this campaign
he made speeches. but their in
fluence can be measured by the
fact that they secured neither
the votes, the influence nor the
contributions of those who are
now most enthusiastic in support
of his candidacy.
Mr.. Bryan continues: He is
the favorlte son of the reorganiz-
ing element of the democratic
party. He IS the special repre-
sentative of those who have so
completely forgotten the story
of the prodlgal son that they
would place the parental home
stead on wheels and start in hot
pursuit of the wayward son. de
termined to compel the boy to
eat fatted calf even if the husks
have destroyed his taste for
wholesome food. Mr.. Hill is the
leader of those who would make
the democratic platform so nearly
like the republican platform that
democratic victory, even if pos
sible, would mean nothing to the
people at large. If this change
is to be made, it cannot be made
at high priced banquet; it must
be made by the voters of the
party, and now that the voters
are forewarned it behooves them
! to watch their organization and
put none but the faithful on
guard. The rank and file cannot
be corrected or terrified. and they
must be relied upon to keep the
party true to the peoples inter-
ests."
