In 1890 the official history museum of
New York asked the Imperial Academy
of Science to name two residents to par
ticipate in the Asiatic portion OF the
Jesup North Pacific exploration. The
academy named Vladimir Bogoroz and
Vladimir Ilich Yokelson.
Before Leaving St. Petersburg both
Bogoroz and Hokelson. also appointed,
returned from the ministry open letters
in the following form:
"No. 1909, Open Letter. By the or
der of his majesty, the Emperor Nicholas,
at Alexandrovitch, autocrat OF all the
Russians, etc, etc, etc, all persons and
authorities under the jurisdiction Of the
minister of the interior are commanded
to afford the bearer OF this every lawful
assistance in the execution of the task
assigned to him. This letter is given to
Vladimir Hermovch Bogoroz. No. 1908
is given to Vladimir Ilich Yokelson."
Sent Secret Letter.
I'm the meantime il continues, Min
lister of the Interior Sipigune, soon after
the delivery of the open letters, sent to
those same Siberian authorities a conf
dental letter containing the following
very interesting secret document:
april 28, 1900. No. 35s, A secret.
THE Governor Of Yokoutsk to the Com
manders of the Yokoutsk Territory.
THE general governor of lrkoutsk, in
accordance with confidential letter OF
the minister of the interior of February
10, with an addendum OF March 30, has
asked me TO institute strict surveillance
over the former political oxiles Vladimir
Borgoroz and Vladimir Yokelson, who are
expected this summer in the Amour and
Yokoutsk territory as members of the ex-
petition of the New York Museum of Sci
entifc History for the formation of col
lections and the study of natives living
in the extreme northeast of Siberia and
has informed me that in view of the anti
government activity of Borgoroz and Yo-
kelson, it will be wholly out of place to
render them any assistance whatever in
the pursuit of the labors intrusted to them.
"In communicating this intend hereby
to give orders for the establishment of a
strict supervision of the two persons
named"
The paper states that Messrs Bogoroz
and Yokelson met with secret and some
times with open opposition. The paper
relates that their request for aid elected

army, lccturcd on Some Phases of the
South African War" here last night. IIe
received most enthusiastic welcome
This was his first lecture in this country.
He related his experiences with a small
force in prolonging the fight against the
British and then criticised the British
army, saying the chief fault was lack
OF independence Of the soldier He said
without an officer to command the rank
and file were absolutely helpless, and most
OF the officers were but little better than
the privates for scores Of them who we're
captured were found TO be unable to do
such simple thing as cook their meals
Intelligent SoIdiery.
In rushing one camp and capturing il
the Beers found the soldiers were shoot
ing at Ia,2oo yards range throughout the
time the Beers were creeping up. lie said
the Beers lived on whatever they cap
tured from the British army and for nine
months went without provision train.
In conclusion General Viljoen said the
British had decided to give them fair
treatment and later political freedom. He
said the reason the war lasted for two
years after the Boer cause became hope
less was because they were cut off from
outside communication and were looking
for Lafayette or Dewey to help them
in their contest.

hungry when he took goods of value
sufficient to pay several years board.
Williams pleaded guilty on Thursday
and asked to be sentenced at once with
out, as he expressed it, taking up the
time of the court Judge McClernan,
however, postponed passing sentence I'M
til today. Williams looked appealngly to-
