pleting arrangements for the establish

General vijoen gives discouraging
account Of the situation Of the Beers

He says that il was the policy OF the
leaders after the war to encourage the
hope Of securing local self government,
but the conditions render 1t impossible
for them to remain longer. The coun-
try has been devastated and cattle ana
horse diseases seem to make It's i'm.

Arrangements have been completed
for the reproduction on large scale
at the 81. Louis exposition next year
OF the principal battles in the South
African war. An attempt Will be
made To preserve the absolute histori
cal accuracy Of the famous engage
ments. Artists are now painting the
