THE BATTLE OF COLENSO
One of the Interesting SpectaCles of
 the Worlds Fair.

St. Louis, July 22.-(Special cores pondence to the Republican. )-The crowds are beginning to come to the fair: on the Fourth of July the attend ance reached 19O,0O0, and it is estimated that 90. .0OO more would have been added to that number had they not been kept away by a drenching rain that pour ed down during most of the afternoon. But so far St. Louis finds no difficulty in furnishing entertainment or trans poration for her guests.
 On the first visit to the fair it is de- sirable to get a general idea of the grounds and this is best obtained by a ride on the Ferris wheel. which carries you 275 feet in the air and affords an excellent view, not only of the fair grounds. but also of the city and sur rounding country. This enormous structure contains 36 cars, each one equipped with a guide and capable of holding 60 people.
 From the wheel one can look down into an immense amphitheater where the Anglo-Boer war is reproduced, the greatest and most realistic military spectacle known in the history of the world. Here the battle of ColeEso, in which Col. Long lost his guns. will be fought over again; the battle of Paar- deberg, in which Gen. Cronje was ov- ercome and compelled to surrender, and a vivid representation of DeWet's marvellous escape through 5000 Brit ish troops.
 The fact that Gen. Cronje is present in person adds much 10 the reality of the spectacle-the same Gen. Cronje of whose defeat and surrender we read a few years ago, and when he makes his appearance in the arena he is applaud ed to the echo.
 The last days fighting of the bat tie of Paardeberg is reproduced. The British gradually close in upon this desperate and determined band of men who resolve to sell their freedom as dearly as possible and avail themselves of every opportunity to send a deadly volley into the ranks of the slowly ap- preaching victors. At last Cronje real ies that the extreme limit of his resist ance has come and a white flag appears above trench. A worn and haggard figure comes forward and surrenders himself. and deep is the feeling of sym pathy when he and his 3.OU0 Boer sol diers are marched away as British prisoners
 HeTe are also present comma ndantS Moll. Van Dam Mare. Boshoff and oth- CTS. together with the hundreds of men from South Africa who were actually engaged in the battles fought there with the British.
 One of our American generals. Sher- man, I believe, has said. War is hell." And when you see the men con- ing against one another galloDing al full speed hither and thither: when the earth fairly trembles beneath you at the roar of the cannon. and the dark ness of the night becomes lurid from the flashes of the artillery: when the ground Is strewn with men and horses apparently dead or dying, and the Red Cross ambulance dashing in, picking up the wounded and carrying them away to be cared for. then you are ready to say that Sherman's character ization was right, for if even the sim ulation is so terrible, what must the reality be-

RUSSIANS HAVE LOST
HOPE OF PORT ARTHUR

ST Petersburg, Dec. 3.-With the
confirmation of the news that the Jap
anese have occupied 2o3 Meter Hill and
the report that the Russians unsuccess-
fully attempted its recapture, officials at
the war office are beginning to prepare
themselves for the inevitable.
Golden Hill and Liaoti Hill are high
er and dominate 2o3 Meter Hill, but the
officials say that if the Japanese succeed
in mounting heavy guns upon the latter
it probably will be only a question of
days or weeks before the fortress falls.
Still, there is not the slightest idea
among General Stoessel's friends that
he will surrender, even if he should be
ordered to do so. 1t is hinted that it is
possible that if the fall of the fortress
is shown to be inevitable the emperor
may direct its surrender in order to pre-
vent the unnecessary sacrifice of the
remnant of its brave defenders; but il
lis believed by those who know General
StoesSel best that he will literally make
good his threat to hold out to the last
man and the last cartridge in Port Ar

THE INSURANCE CASES
ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 5. Slow
progress IS being made in the United
States Court in the case Of the Farm
ers Independent Elevator Co, against
the Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany. The action was brought to re-
cover the sum Of $1,000, representing
an insurance Of $500 On an elevator
located at Denbigh and $4,5oo on the
grain stored therein The building
burned about year ago, and the four
insurance companies declined to settle
the loss. An insurance Of $2Iooo was
carried and actions were brought
against the four companies. The pres
ent case is the first Of the number to be
tried, and every inch of the way in
court is being stubbornly fought by the
attorneys. u:
AT the conclusion Of the plaintiff S
case a motion was made BY the de-
tense for directed verdict. Judge
Anidon denied the motion and the
work Of examining the witnesses for the
defense was taken up.
The case of the plaiptif was finish
ed at noon yesterday, and in opening
the defense the attorney Of the illstir-
ance companies intimated that one of
the main points that it was expected
to- bring out would Be that of fraud,

St. Louis, Dec. 3.--The state of North
Dakota and her exhibit in the agricul-
tural building were honored as no other
states exhibits were honored. North
Dakota's exhibit was the only state ex-
hibit that President Roosevelt visited
during his aisite to the fair, and even
though there were hundreds of other
places for him to visit and see during
his brief visit of a few hours he saw
| fit to spend about fifteen minutes in his
| old cabin.
As far as the president himself was
concerned no incident of his visit to the
| fair was more replete with interest to
him than his visit to the Roosevelt
Cabin in the North Dakota exhibit.
In the log cabin which he occupied for
three, years when a cowboy in North
Dakota, the president INDUCED in many
"reminiscences and seemed to live over
again his life between 1882 and 1886,
when he was a ranchnan in the bad
