THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, NOTEMBER 20, 1S90.

State forcf3 in the HerscheK and Barkley IZast districts. A dispatch from Queens town. Cape Colony. Oenerai Gatacre' s hc-ad-quartcrs, announces that four hundred colonial rebels, including an ex-magistrate of. Uarkley Kast, have Joined the er.e-nriy at the latter place, and th;;t the whole force is reported, to oe marcning on Dordrecht, 'whence it can operate ana possibly intercept General Gatacre's advance to reoccupy StoTmberg Junction, a strategic point from which General Gatacre can pet in direct touch through the railroad with General Trench at aauwpoort and thus with the Uritlsh base at Laar. Another dispatch says refugees arriving &t Queenstown assert that Ladygrey has been occupied by the colonial farmers, and it is feared there that there is a generul movement in favor of the Uoers. Further tiisuatches from Relmont confirming the treacherous use of the while tlxg by the Hoers are arousing indignation. The troops engaged are bitterly complaining, and it is ftared the result will be . refund to give the Boers quarter. A."incident similar to the one which occurred at the battle of Giencoe, when an oilicer aa shot by a wounded Doer, i3 reported by the Indon Times correspondent at Belmont. who says that Lieutenant Blundell. of the Grenadier Guards, was shot by a "wounded Hot, whom he was tend.ng. Such fitatemtrts seem Incredible, but they are now confirmed officially by the protest of General Alethuen. who has sent a message to the Boer commander, saying: "I must ask you to warn your wounded not to shoot our officers. I must warn you not to use dum-dum bullets or use the flag of truce treacherously. Such action is cowardly in the extreme, and 1 cannot countenance it." AH accounts confirm the splendid charging of the British infantry, the Scots Guards entering the tight with drums beating and nfes playing. The second ridge was the strongest position. The Boers there were sheltered behind ramparts of bowlders. Nevertheless, the Guards advanced steadily, many of them coolly smoking. ii. F. -Knight, a well-known war correspondent, who went to Havana during the Spanish-American war, was wounded in the arm by a dum-dum bullet. The hospKal train arrived at Orange river In .the nick of time from Cape Town, and was sent to Belmont. The train is constructed on the corridor system, with beds arranged in tiera on each side. On its return to Orange river with the wounded it was found that a number of them were able to walk, but there were many stretcher cases. The troops in camp lined the route Irom the station to the hospital. The wounded were cheerful, and as they limped along, supported by medical orderlies, exchanged chart with the soldiers In the crowd. "Got any loot?" asked a soldier. yes," was the grim reply from the fcnaimed man, "in my bloomln leg." There is much discussion now as to whether General Methuen intends to march directly to Klmberley or double around on the Free Staters who have invaded the Colesburg and Burghersdorp districts and driving them on Generals Gatacre and French, inflicting a crushing defeat oh them. The general opinion, however, is that he will proceed north and attack the Boers at Modder river, thus relieving KimJerley. There is much anxiety now as to the fate of Mafeklng, in view of the latest and somewhat despondent advice?. It was rumored in the Glasgow Stock Exchange today that Mateking had surrendered, but the "War Offlce officials declare they have nothing confirmatory or otherwise. In the meanwhile the news from Natal Is not encouraging. Estcourt and the Mooi river camp are both hard pressed. A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Thusday. gives advices from south of Ladysmlth to the effect that General Joubert the same morning shelled .Estcourt camp, but without response. The inhabitants of the town were reported to be leaving. The dispatch from Pretoria also indicates that news of the battle of Belmont has reached Pretoria, as It says "heavy fighting is reported south of Klmberley to-day between the Free Staters and a supposed British relief force from the Orange river." The attack Is said to have been a surprise, and, although the British retired, they did not do so until they bad bayoneted eighty Boers and captured all their equipment and a number of horses-. A big gun posted in position, the capture of which appears to have been the EriUsh objective, was found to have been removed. An official statement was issued at Durban yesterday that there were.no loers south-of the Moot river. The Boers, however, as shown in recent dispatches, are rapidly closing around the Moo! river camp. An armored, train and mounted patrols which reeonnoltered the country on

Wednesday reported seeing but few of the enemy. Vet the following day the Boers were found In strong force in two directions near by. --. - Two-Boers hare surrendered to the British at Nottingham road station, south of the Moo! river, and there are reports that the Boer forces are starving, which, it is cald, explains their raiding farms. Numbers of loyal Natal farmers have taken the field in response to the call for mobilisation of the rifle associations and are now doing splendid scouting work. The jrovernment has realized the value of their services and yesterday authorized the raising of a mounted corps of farmers to check Boer raiding. The reported determination of the United States to compel President Krugcr to allow Consul General 5laerum to exercise his rights as British agent at Pretoria has created an excellent impression her and has called out various expressions of satisfaction and gratitude. The Pall Mall Gazette eays: "The United States government is rot going to stand any nonsense from President Kruger. It was the British representative who kept an eye on Hob-son's captivity at Santiago, and It was British representatives who did similar service for captured Americans everywhere In Cuba and the Philippines. More power to Macram's elbow." INTEREST AVAMXG. Orltona Waiting; on the Development of nailer Plan of Cnmnalvii. Copyrighted. 1S99. by the Associated Tress. LONDON, . Nov. 23. The war In South Africa has reached a stage where even British interest somewhat lags. The advance of the troops to the relief of Ladysmlth, Klmberley and fMafeklng is necessarily clothed in secrecy, .which 13 only broken by the news of desultory engagements. The past week sems to havo altered but little the conditions described In these dispatches. Even If General White holds out until relieved It will only remove a picturesque phase of the campaign and does not mean that it will hasten its speedy end. The Boers, it la claimed, are not likely to risk the deciding battle of war until they have General Buller's invading force into a position believed -to' be favorable to them, or until they are driven nto a corner, which promises to be a matter of months. The criticism of the methods of the British army organization has led several writers to again seriously consider the advisability of auoptlng some form of conscription, but, although a preponaerance of military experts might favor such a step, the British nation has not reached the stage where it could submit to such militarism. , Wireless telegraph.

She will be the first British ship to do this. In a letter received at his home, written on the eve of the battle of Elandslaagtc, the sixteen-year-old trumpeter. Shurlock, of the Fifth Royal Irl?h lancers. who shot three Boers, shows that he lived up to his word. "All tne other boys." wrote Shurlock. "were left behind at Pietermaritzburg. I am just enjoying myself all right here. I went to revolver practice the other day. The sergeant major said. 'Very good, for the first time, and I bet I will shoot some of the Boers down if I get the least chance."

INDIGNIFIUD ANTIC?. Wave of Aanily-I'anilyism Which. I Worrying Conservative Britons. LONDON, Nov. 23. Among the seriousminded, conservative English people, there is a growing feeling of disgust at the spread of the nauseating namby-pambylsm which finds an excuse In the war. The hysterical outbreak w.iich has - ensued since "Tommy Atkins" and his officer became a full-fledged society craze has already been the subject of satirical articles In the better class of British publications and now all signs point to a reaction from that unreasoning enthusiasm which is responsible for so many undignified antics. Never were the old English army officers so aghast as when they read of the Queen's decision to send a box of chocolate to each man In the field as a Christmas present. Compared with her simple speeches at her farewells to the troops, this announcement appeared as a sudden descent from the sublime to the ridiculous. On top of this came the heroic accounts of Correspondent Churchill fighting battles and commanding troops, and regular officers poured in letters to the papers protesting against this. Though not belittling Churchill's personal bravery In the Tlrah campaign, an officer was obliged to tell Churchill that his help was not needed to command a company. Other Instances of this young ex-officer's readiness to interfere have been printed since the glowing accounts of the armored-train affair. While it is pointed out that he does not deserve good treatment from the Boers, having violated the usages of war, the report of his expected release Is contrasted with the alleged action of the French and Germans who. It is claimed, during the war of 1S70, shot all noncombatants found carrying arms. While the big West End caterers are busy shipping hundreds of cases of champagne and pate de foie gras to the regimental messes in South Africa, society women are working feverishly, making plum puddings for luese unfortunates. Many of the puddings contain costly jewelry, tie pins, rings and other mementoes from adoring womankind. Lady Colin Campbell has made no fewer than 106 plum y puddings for the Dublin Fusiliers, and several puddings have been sent to Winston Churchill, addressed to Pretoria. Though the majority of such efforts are, doubtless, prompted by genuine patriotism and a deslreto alleviate the sufferings of the soldiers, the charitable movement is taken advantage of by notorious self-advertisers, both social and mercantile. Women who have not been received in society, in spite cf the efforts of years, have been untiring in their endeavors to get publicity for their particular scheme to raise money or articles to send out to South Africa. Incidentally, it is announced that the Duke of Abercorn has ordered for the field Red Cross three hundred dozen of Messrs. So-and-so's handkerchiefs, "which are famous for their softness and delicate texture," etc., and every theatrical press agent in the country is reaping harvests by obtaining gratuitous advertisements from hitherto unheard-of actors and actresses who are willing to recite a war poem or do a turn to help the war funds. This, of course, scarcely applies to the few leaders of the profession who originated the idea of an American quota of charity, a movement which culminated In Mrs. Brown Potter's "The Chantant," though the latter has not escaped criticism. The Times set the example by giving It a meager and uncomplimentary report in its news columns, and since then several society and other papers have referred satirically to the excesses which marked the tipping and other methods employed at the entertainment to rilse funds. The amount of advertising 'OTne of the theatrical nonentities have secured Is not excused even by the presence of royalties. ' Many prominent members of the American colony have freely expressed, in private conversation, their disappointment and stronger feelings at the proceedings of this performance. Mr. Joseph II. Choate. the United States ambassador, was placed in an awkward position by finding, upon his arrival here, that he was, apparently, actively associated with "The Chantant's" management. One individual was officially discountenanced by the embassy and the same was the case with several others, who, though known In the London papers as Americans, are r.ot claimed as such by the various ambassadors, or are not received in New York society. On the other hand, the hospital ship Princess of Wales, fitted out at the instigation of. and with the personal supervision of the member of the royal family after w hom it was named, was done quietly, and is now ready to sail. A great part of th3 cost was borne by the princess herself, but its complete control is given to the army medical department. A rumor has been printed that the longexisting and strong family friendship between Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and Sir Alfred Mllner may culminate in their becoming brothers-in-law. But a representative of the Associated Press learns that Mr. Chamberlain has only one sister, and she is married. So, unless Sir Alfred Milner weds a sister of one of Mr. Chamberlain's former wives, it Is hard to see how the tie can be effected. Those who know Sir Alfred Mllner say he Is not of the marrying kind and his Intimates discredit the rumor, saying "the acquaintanceship of the Governor of Cane Colony with Mr. Chamberlain Is confined to a few official Interviews." n rita ix ami noun. General - Mile Analyzes the Advnntanes in Favor of Each. ATLANTA, Ga.. Nov. 23.-General Nelson A. Miles, who arrived here last night from New Orleans, made an official inspection of Fort McPherson this morning. S.nce the beginning of his tour In the South and West General Miles has found the army posts In good condition, and Is pleased with hk visit. When asked what he thought wculd be the probable result of the Brtlsh and Boer war In the Transvaal, he 6M not hesitate to say that England would eventually win, but he emphasized the fact that victory would be bought at a great sacrifice of lives and property. "British arms in the Transvaal will be carried to victory." he said, "but there will be many lives lost, much prop erty swent awav and ereat financial cost England has the advantage in number of men. more supplies and more money. That 1 all. if the Boers had as many soldiers and as many sources of supplies I would not undertake to say wnat would be the result. B'lt while the British possess all these jnrflies and have an unlimited number of men, oth at home and in the colonies, to draw from, it must be remembered that the war is far removed from the base of supplies. A land communication of 500 miles is always a great hardship and an uncertainty. You see what I mean when I say it is only In numbers and finances that England has any advantage of te Brcrs. The Boers are hgnting at home. They are playing on home grounds, as It were. They know the topography f the country. They are acclimated. Everything is new to the Queen's soldier. Then again, the Hies are destroying the horses and live stock and rattle that England Is sending into the Transvaal, which it is not within the Jurisdiction of men to control. All that I can say is that much depends upon the strategy and generalship of the heads of the two armies." Kranrarlan Recruits from America. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 23. Recruiting for the Boer army, it Is alleged, is being conducted here under the direction of an organization known as '.he Irish National Society. It L asserted lht last Thursday night 430 men left this city en route to the Tiansvaal to Join the Boer forces. Recruits In much larger numbers are said to have been shipped at numerous intervals since the beginning of the war. it Is also asserted

that recruiting is going on in all parts- of the country, and that Chicago contributed a force of 1,000 men. Victoria Cartooned. PARIS, Nov. 25.

LONDON, Nov. 21-Mr. Choate's slip at the Edinburgh literary dinner, in a speech crediting Milton's 'Tcace hath her vic tories" to "an American orator," continues to be the source of comment and amuse ment. A writer In this week's Speaker tays: "Jt Is not surprising that Mr. Choate fabed to give the orator's name, while it is verysurprising that a cultivated man should make such a mistake." Italians Delighted. LONDON, Nov. 23. According to a dis patch to the lancet from Rome, the Italians pre hugely delighted at Queen Victoria's determination not to go to France, interpreting this change in her usual programme as an Intended and deliberate rebuke of France'3 anti-British press utterances. 1 A Short Period of Apotheosis.

NOTHING HEARD FROM GREEN Storm on the Gulf Thursday Seems to Have Blotted Htm Oat. DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 23. Nothing has been heard from E. II. R. Green's yachting party since the storm' on the gulf coast, near Rockport, Matagorda bay, Thursday night last. This would not indicate, however, that the party is in extreme peril, as the wind has broken telegraphic and telephone communication with the islands on which Mr. Green's clubhouse and fishing retort are located, and this might account for no word coming from Mr. Green and his companions.

Buckner. members of the party, who went irom uauas, dui started home before the storm came on, say that it is possible the Green party may have reached the clubhouse and taken refuge there before the storm reached its most violent stace.

riun to Inlte Chilean Companies and Limit the Production. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 2o.-Herman G.

The object of the consolidation Is to limit the output of the product. He is now on his way to London to close the deal. Mr. Schmidt says: "There are about forty nitrate production companies in Chile. The Lngiish companies have the largest investments, amounting to ol.jAW.OOO. The Chilean companies and private producers have invested about $s,;50,ia. whiie the German, Italian and Austrian companies have about U'Iamum) invested. "I have atrtauy secured the co-operation of the largest pioducers on the west coast of Chile for mo consolidation, and on my way to Germany 1 snali stop at London to negotiate with the ingdsh companies lor their co-operation. 1 huve no doubt tne arrangement will be made, for it is to the interests of all the companies to limit the production, in some way, to conform to the demand. POOR LITTLE DE CASTELLANE. Miss Gould lufurlunnle in Ilavius Such a Relative. Philadelphia Times. That miserable little wretch, Count Bonl de Castellane. who married Anna Gould, has made a donkey of himself on various occasions of late. His queer antics at the French race course when President Loubet was hit with a cane by one of the Royalist rowdies and his "proclamations" during the late American-Spanisa war made him the laughing stock of everybody even in Paris. If he confined his silly outbursts as to what he thinks of people to his heme field he would probably sooner or later be considered a lit subject for the Corps Legislatif, where "patriotic" debates often end with broken heads and bloody noses. But when he goes so fas as to abase, as he has, Helen Gculd. who has the misfortune to be the little fool's sister-in-law, simply because she has seen fit to join hands with the American women who ask Congress not to admit Roberts, of Utah, if it is proved that he is a bigamist, it is about time the puppy was muzzled. He says that Miss Gould, "as she is an American, takes fiendish delight in any sort f newspaper puffery." She did een worse than that, he says; "she posed as the friend of the soldiers during our late war with his dear friends, the Spaniards." The idea of this puppy barking like a bulldog now, after crawling at the feet of rich American girls at Newport for a season and whining at the doors of the Gould mansion till he secured a rich wife the very sister of the woman he denounces. If Bonl would devote more of his time to minding his own business, provided his wife's money outlasts his bold battle at the card table, he might some day make enough to pay his own debts lor a whole week, what makes his criticism of Helen Gould all the more contemptible Is that he drags his wife along with him as a copartner in his denunciation of ner sister. It may be that Bonl will come to America again when his funds are short. It would be interesting to see him on the wharf a short time after one of the American sol diers Helen Gould aided during the war had set eyes on him. 1 1 A TIECE OF BREAD AND BUTTER. The Effect of Spread lu jj Sngnr on It Revived Old Memories. Chicago Inter Ocean. The force of childhood recollections and the truth of the quotation, "A touch of nature makes the whole world kin." were shown graphically by a little Incident in a down-town restaurant the other day. A. quiet-looking middle-aged man of prosperous appearance was eating his dinner when another well-dreased man took a seat opposite him. After giving his order In a bluff, genial manner, the newcomer took a sip of water and faced around. Suddenly a queer expression came over his face as he watched attentively the actions of his vls-a-vls. and apparently without realizing what ne was doing he blurted out in a loud tone: "Well, well, well." Everi'one at the table, includlne the auietlooking man, started, and the others, ob serving the direction of the speaker's gaze. turned their eyes also upon him of the quiet appearance, to sev what had caused the exclamation. The man who had come in first was in the act of spreading sugar over a slice of buttered bread, and when he realized that all eyes were turned upon him he blushed like one detected irr a heinous crime and almost fell off his chair. It took him a minute of two to recover, and then he said to the table in general: "I used to get bread and butter and sugar for being good when I was a child, and eating it is a habit which I like to indulge in even yet. 1 know it Isn't on the restaurant bill of fare, but I couldn't resist the temptation." "I must beg your pardon for my rude exclamation." replied the other man. "My mother used to put bread and butter and sugar In my lunch box when I went to school as an eight-year-old up in Vermont, and I haven't eaten any since my childhood. I guess I'll join you in a piece now for the sake of old times." And he did. Gradual Progress. Washington Star. "How's your boy doing?" inquired the man whose business takes him occasionally to a rural community where he knows all the Inhabitants. "Fine." "Has a good job, has he?" "He ain't got a job no more. He's got a situation. He started In with a job, where he didn't get nothin but wages $4 a week. But he done so good that they boosted him right along, so that now he's gettln $10 a week. That there ain't wages. That's salary." "How are your own affairs prospering?" "First rate." "Still pursuing your old business?" "No. I'm a farmer now." "Why, isn't that what you always were?" "No. siree. I dont fool myself with no flatterin' notions. Up to a little while ago, when the wave of prosperity struck, I wasn't nothin but a common cracker. But I've bought an extra piece of ground an' lifted a couple of mortgages, an' now I'm a farmer. Ef the luck holds out I'll have some money in the bank In a few years. Then I'm goln to buy a three-minute hoss and a buckboard and mow the grass In front of the house and be an agriculturist. Overworking a Gift. London Leader. A short time ago a young soprano named Amy Castles made a sensation In Australia second only to that caused years ago by Mme. Melba. The public were wild about her. and the musical writers foretold triumphs innumerable for her in the future She consequently, or rather more probably those m charge or her, commenced to take advantage of her personality, and she sang so orten that in a short space of time she amassed the not Inconsiderable sum of 4. 003. But art wilL be revenged If you abuse her privileges, and when a few weeks ago she sang at a farewell concert in Sydney previous to coming to London to take us by storm, the critics one ana a:i declared that she had no voice left whatsoever. See lng that she Is still in her 'tc-ens. let us hope the voyage will make her public ap pearance here possible. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK. Nov.

'S. believe," remarked the veteran school principal, "that the cause of most of the breakdowns on the part of both teachers and pupils is the luncheon question. What do you suppose causes the general collapse at the end of the school year which so many teachers regard as Inevitable? Improper lunching, In nine cases out of ten. "It's preposterous to think a girl of eleven or twelve years of age should become a bundle of nerves with water for blood under a routine of four hours' school attendance and practically no work at home. Why, do you know when I was a little girl going to a village school, every one of us children had no end of chores to do around the house, besides getting no end of lessons out of school hours, and we went to school at half past 8 and weren't dismissed until 4. And did we break down under it? Never heard of such a thing. Even now, in Germany and France, children work much longer hours at school than they do here, and breaking down is unheard of. Again it's the lunching question. "In the country we either went home and had a hot dinner at noon or took a wholesome cold lunch and ate it during the noon recess. City children very often have an allowance of 5 or 10 cents a day with which to buy their luncheon, and, as a rule, they use about as little judgment as their mothers do in giving them the money. You can get a glass of milk and two largo rolls for 5 cents at any of the little bakeshops nearby, but I've yet to hear of a youngster who buys anything so sensible. Cream puffs and ice cream soda are the most popular lunch. Once in a while an unconsciously sensible child lays out his lunch money on the penny chocolate bars of the slot machine. Of course he has a notion that he's indulging In forbidden candy, but chocolate is really nutritious and sustaining, while there's nothing at all to be said in favor of cream puffs and soda. "When the children having their luncheons, as a few of them do, in paper boxes or wrapped in a newspaper, I am always surprised how few of them have anything appetizing. As a rule they have nothing but thick slices of bread with the crusts on and the butter carelessly spread. The meat is in chunks, and the whole thing anything but tempUng. Mothers don't seem to realize the importance of this luncheon question. They think anything will do, and. as a result, tha children are ashamed of their lunch. They go off in a dark corner an 1 gobble it hurriedly, or they throw half of it away. A little forethought would enable even the busiest mother to have a variety of tasty and inexpensive lunches. It's a lack of appreciation of its importance, that's all. "Rut the teachers, after all, are not much more sensible. We were discussing the luncheon problem among ourselves not long ago and one young teacher admitted that since school began her luncheon every day had consisted of ginger snaps and pickles brought from the corner grocery by an obliging pupil. I've been watching her since and I'm not surprised to And that she Is decidedly irritable and impatient toward the end of the afternoon session. Another teacher assured me that she feels perfectly well on a luncheon of soda crackers and tea. "I haven't any scheme to boom, but I think the French system a very wise one for both teachtrs and pupils. I suppose, however. It wouldn't take here at ail, except, perhaps. In the very poorest sections of the largest cities, and there it might do as much harm as good. You know in Paris they regard a cook and a kitchen as quite as indispensable a part of the school as Janitors and teachers. Kvery child has his bowl of soup and piece of bread In quite the same matter of course, fashion that we give him calisthenics to make him a physically well-developed person. I have an Impression though that It is only in the Frimary school that the custom prevails, n this country we need it more in the schools for older pupils. As a rule the primary children live near enough the school to go home at noon, and it is only the teachers who ruffer. A majority of the grammar and high school pupils usually live farther away. "Where we have tried the lunch counter, I think it has been a failure. That is, for everybody except the caterer. He rents the privilege and sell! his wares at a fair prorit. There is no intelligent supervision and the school lunch counter does more harm than good to the children's digestive machinery. I know one little girl who boasts that her lunches cost her only S cents a day. For that sum she buy coffee and plo and

Archibald Cent m doughnuts from the school caterer. I don't, wonder at all that t?he has violent headaches and Is getting round-hhouldercd and worn out. Such a diet would make a dyspeptic wreck of a sturdy adult, let alone a delicate girl. If there were somebody to 6upervl?e the counter and see that nothing but hygienic foods were served son. good might be accomplished. If I could have forbidden coffee and tea and pie ar.d doughnuts and substituted cocoa and soip and brown bread and fruit, my little friend would be stronger at the end of the year than at the beginning. Instead of the nt-r-vous wreck I'm sure she will be. I've really been rash enough to hope the mothers' convention might take up the subject, but. of course, they have nothing to do with anything so near at hand. The next century is more interesting, but I don't think it more important, do you?" ' American the Mont Apt Nation. Florida Times-Union. Anglo-Saxons are considered the best colonists, the most tolerant of violent changes in climate and environment of all races because they have the strongest power of selfcontrol. Of all nationalities of mankind they have tho most universal adaptive aptitude because they possess in the highest degree the mastery of mind over matter.
