OLDFIELDls OPINION.

Barney Oldfield, who was a fas- .cinated spectator of the Vanderbilt cup race, says that he learned great deal in tue foreign racing camps along the course. He realizes that in handling road locomotives of the largest size Americans are as yet rank amateurs. Nothing, however, would please Barney better than to meet the drivers who excited his admiration in race on a circular course, for in these the Ea- .ropeans have still a great deal to learn from us.

take my hiding. But it was the first
and the last time that he had occasion
to thrash me.
At fifteen Kruger was soldier and
for years fought with his people in
clearing the Zulus and other powerful
tribes out of the territory known as
the Transvaal and Free State. this be-
ing accomplished by series of bloody
battles. The Beers established their
country. vast region in the interior
of South Africa. Then they realized
that they needed seaport. They tried
to sieze Durham, in Natal. In this
venture loom Paul. was a filibuster
leader and he beseiged Durham for
twentysix days. Then the British rush.
ed troops into Natal and drove the
Beers back into the fertile country of
the interior.
Kruger became a British official with
n seat in the Council then governing
the Transvaal In 1877 he was dismiss
ed and then began the struggle for
complete independence. Kruger made
a trip to Europe to secure aid for the
Beers. In 1884 he was elected Presi-
dent of the Transvaal and from that
time until he fled to Europe from Della
goa Bay in 1900 he devoted all of his
energies in an effort to keep the Brit
ish out of the country. He failed after
building up an independent nation, and
was whipped only after nearly every
able bodied Boer had been either cap
tured, killed, or so completely hemmed
in by British troops that 1t was use
less to fight longer.
When Kruger left the Transvaal in
1900 he travelled to Marseilles, France,
on Dutch warship and it was stated
at that time that he had taken $780,
100000 in Boer treasure with him. But
recently it has been stated that this
treasure had disappeared, and that
"Oom Paul. was almost penniless.
His only near surviving relatives are
his daughter, and her family. His
wife died in Pretoria, Transvaal,
shortly after he left the country.
Since 1900 Kruger spent all of his
time in Europe, living either at The
Hague or at Mentone.

THOMAS GUL|CK DIES
OF FEVER IN AFRICA

Mr.. Thomas Gulck. brother of Rev
o. ii. Gulick of this city, and who
formerly resided at Haiku, Maui, died
at Mombassa Africa, on June 20 of
gastric fever. News of the unfortunate
circumstance was received by John Wa
terhouse yesterday in letter arriving
by the Sierra.
The news of the death Of Mr.. Gulick
was also the first public intimation that
Mr.. Samuel Alexander had embarked
upon his pet project of travelling
through Africa, following the route OF
the late Sir Henry Nj. Stanley. While
Mr.. Alexander was in Honolulu late
last fall he spoke tentatively of his in
tention of travelling in Africa, and had
stocked up on all manner of data con-
corning the great continent.
1t was his first purpose to travel In
much the manner of the early explOr-
ers, his provisions and other materials
being carried on the heads of native
porters. He will, however, use the rail-
road, wherever possible, cross lakes
Albert and NyanZa and lake Tanganika
in the boats that now ply across them,
and use modern conveniences wherever
found.
Mr.. Gulick, 1t seems, was one of many
friends of Mr.. Alexander who accom-
panied him to Africa.

He Will Ask Electors
For Another
Term.

Prince Jonah X. Kalanianaoie. or
officially known in his Congressional
capacity, is the first to come home of
the Republican delegation from Hawaii
to the National Convention at Chicago
He arrived in, good health and spirits
by the steamer Sierra yesterday.
At Chicago he was asked by w. IL
Hoogs of the Hawaiian delegation to
stand for the office of Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, but though he
felt the position would benefit him as
Delegate to Congress he declined to ac-
cept nomination because he had pledg-
ed his support to A. c.. NJ. Robertson
for the place.
Delegate Kuhio still expresses the de-
sire, previously announced by him, OF
running again for Congress on the Re
publican ticket. This Is not n matter
of mere personal ambition with him
but his observation and experience OF
political life I'm Washington convince
him that one cannot do justice to his
constituency, or himself as its repre-
sentative, in a single term. The initial
term in Congress is little more than an
apprenticeship to teach the member
how to effect things.
Another thing the Delegate regards
as essential is that he should have the
general support of his constituents, be-
sides that individuals or interests hav-
ing measures to promote at Washing
ton should deign to furnish him with
all details, not expecting him to act
blindly on mere assurances that the
matters are all right.
