1t was an epOchal Incident that these men

The business before the House was cOnsidera-
ton OF a bill which would make of the four
South African colonies self governing nation.
The bill, or the constitution which it was TO
ratify had been drafted by these Beers and
their colleagues, and it was to be passed upon
by the government OF the country against
which they had a few years before been fight
ing and by the branch Of that government
which was supremacy hostile to Boer suprem-
acy. Yet the debate, which we have described
as 'so-caled." was really no debate at all, for
every word spoken was in favor of the act and
upon the question being put not a voice was
raised against its passage. If in the strenuous
days Of Ladysmith and Mafeking anybody had
suggested that in a few years the British House
Of Lords would unanimously grant complete
Self-gOvernment to the Beers on their own
terms, placing not only the Transvaal and the
Orange State, but also Natal and the Cape
under their control, he would have been looked
upon as 4 lunatic. Yet precisely that has

IN HARNESS RULES
Result of Important Race
at Kalamazoo Stirs the
ReformerS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE result Of
the $4,000 race at Kalamazoo ext osed
! the weak spot in the system harness
racing in vogue on the GraRd Circuit
this season.
Under the published conditions the
race was declared finished at the end
Of five heats and the horses were placed
as they stood in the summary al that
stage Of the contest. thus giving first
money to Margin and making her tech
nically the winner" Notwithstanding
the fact that she weakened after taking
the first two heats and had been beaten
in three out of five. falling back to
fourth place az the end.
That the Dlan OF limiting races to five
heats puts no premium on stamina Is
made plain by the outcome Of the cLli-
test at Kalamazoo where the '.orse
that went back as the contest progress
ed was awarded first money, while the
horse that outlasted her and apparently
had her beaten to a standstili at the
end of five heats received. only second
money.
Besides being open to the objection
that it often leaves the race practically
unfinished the new system seems to be
without any point of excellence not
embraced in the two-in-three plan OF
racing.

CLEVELAND PULLING

General Satisfaction There
Over Recent Climb of
Philadelphia Team.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 17.-There is a
deal of satisfaction hereabouts over
the fact that the Athletics occupy first
place with Detroit in the An eri5an
League, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The fortunes Of the Athletics have
been watched here with the liveliest in
terest for two very good reasons. There
is something about the conduct Of the
Athletics that creates admiration There
IS none of the arrogant We are the
whole thing display in the perform
ances Of the Philadelphia club.
1t is composed Of business-like young
sters and a few Woodworking veterans,
who come upon a ball field to play hall,
not to pose and stall and strut.
The Athletics look like they had a pur-
pose in life. and just now their lauda bic
ambition is getting as far ahead OF the
Tigers as possible. More power to them.
