Durban, March 3. Correspondents
who have returned here from Lady
smith say that the relief came quite
unexpectedly. At noon on Tuesday
the firing of General Ruller's army
seemed to recede instead of approach
ing, and the garrison was consequent
ly depressed. 1'verybody was startled
to hear the garrison's 4.7 gun firing.
It had not been used much of late,
owing to the diminishing ammunition.
On hurrying out it was found that the
Foers were trying to remove the big
gun on Bulwana by the erection of a
derrick. This proved that something
extraordinary was happening. The
other garrison guns then directed their
tire on Hulwana with the result that
the lioers were compelled to abandon
the attempt with the derrick.
Later on they placed the gun on a
wagon, which capsized in a donga, I
During the afternoon, whenever the
lioers were seen approaching, the Brit-;
ish resumed the shelling of Bulwana.
About 4 o'clock a terrific thunder storm
broke over the town, just after a mes
sage had been heliographed from Wa
gon hill that the Boers were in foil
retreat. Other officers said they be
lieved they could descry British cavalry,
but most people supposed that the :
wish was father to the thought. I
As soon as the storm ceased the
British guns reopened on Bulwana, '
gradually concentrating the fire on the
left and driving the Boers before them,
with the object of preventing the ene
my from .hampering any British ap
proach. An hour later a party of Brit
ish horsemen could be seen crossing
the flat below Bulwana at a distance
of some miles. It is impossible to
ascribe the excitement and entnnsi
am among the troops that followed, j
Most of the townspeople had been
driven into the houses by the storm
and did not learn the good news until
later.
The storm broke out again at 7
'clock in the evening and continued
until 2 o'clock the next morning. It i
must have seriously hampered the re I
treating Koers. Ihe British gunners
kept a sharp watch to prevent any
further attempt to remove the Bul
wana gun. The British naval gun was
fired "at intervals through the night
and In the morning a force was sent
out to look after the gun and to occupy
Bulwana.

ciety of New York held its fourteenth
annual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria
Saturday night. William McKinley.
presidenfof the United States, was the
guest of honor, and more than 400
covers were laid. The gathering was
notable because the president in a brief
speech referred to the matter of ex
pansion and replied to certain argu
ments of those .opposed to that policy.
Among those at the president's table
on either side of the president were:
M. I. Southard, president of the Ohio
Society of New York; Governor Theo
dore Roosevelt, Governor George K.
Nash, ex-Goernor Levi P. Morton,
Cornelius N. Bliss, Senator Hanna.

ize the war iu the Philippines
that they were "weaklings, nothing
but anaemic men who would like to be
traitors, but who have not got the red
blood to m.'tke the complaint good."
Campbell's Idea of the Canal.
Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, also
6poke, and was greeted with great ap
plause when he said: "But there is
one thing I want you to do, Mr. Presi
dent, and I hope you will do it, and
that is that you will build the canal
from ocean to ocean without asking
the consent of any nation on earth."

I'enle.H Any Foreign Entanglements.
The president began by stating that
the managers of the banquet had kept
their promises that he was not ex
pected or required to speak. Then
summarizing what has happened re
cently he said: "We will soon have
legislative assurances of the continu
ance of the gold standard with which
we measure our exchanges, anil we
have the open dor iu the far east
through which to market our products.
We are neither in alliance nor antagon
ism nor entanglement with any for
eign inwer. but oil terms of amity
and cordiality willi all. We .buy from
all of them ami sell to all of them and
our sales exceeded our purchases in
the past two years by over out. billion
dollars."
THERE CAN UK NO I M I'EItl A I. ISM.
Everyhndy Is Against Such a Ptiliey the
Chief Magistrate Says.
Proceeding the president said: "out
of these recent events have come to
the I'nited Stales grave trials and re
sponsibilities. As it was the nation's
war so' are its results the nation's
problem. lis solution rests upon ns
all. It is too t-erious to stifle. It is
too earnest for repose. No phrase or
catchword can cancel the sacred obli
gation it involves. No use of epithets,
no aspersion of motives by those who
differ, will contribute to that sober
judgment so essential to right conclu
sions. No political outcry can abro
gate our treaty of peace with Spain or
absolve us from its solemn, engage
ments. It is the people's question and
will be until its determination is writ
ten out in their enlightened verdict.
We must choose between manly doing
and base desertion. It will never be
the latter.
There can be no imperialism. Those
who fear are against it. Those who
have faith in the republic are against
it. So that there is universal abhor
rence for it and unanimous opposi
tion to it. Our only difference-is that
those who do not agree with us have
no confidence in Ihe virtue or capac ity
or high purpose or good faith of thi
free people as a civilizing agency,
while we believe that the century of
free government which the American
people have enjoyed has not rendered
them f: ithless and irresolute, but has
fitted them for the great task of lift
ing up and assisting to better condi
tions those distant people who have
through the Issue of battles become
our wards.
Let us fear not. There is no occasion
for faint hearts, no excuse for regrets.
Nations do not grow in strength, and
the cause of liberty and law is not
advanced lyr the doing of easy things.
The harder the task the srreater will
be the result, the benefit and the hon
or." To doubt our power to accomplish
it is to lose faith in the soundness and
strength of our popular institutions.
The liberators will never become op
pressors. A self-grvorneil piople will
never permit despotism in any gov
ernment which they foster and de
fend. "Gentlemen, we have the new care
and cannot shift it. And breaking
up the camp of ease and isolation let
us bravely and hopefully and soberly
continue the march of faithful service
ami falter not until the work Is done.
It is not possible that seventy-five mil
iums oi American Tree men are unable,
to establish liberty and justice and,
good government in our new posses

The opportunity is greater than the
burden. May God give us strength

Des Moines, la., March G. In the

The saloon attorneys demurred on the
ground that when the new code of
1807 was enacted all laws in existence
prior to that time were specifically re
pealed and that this repeal likewise
wiped out injunctions made of record
before the repeal. The point, if sus

Church, pastor of tlie Universalist

reason is that caskets prolong decom

gases which rise above the earth, con
taminating the atmosphere to the dan

thus reducing funeral expenses to a
minimum.

OLD GLORY
STILL ABOVE.
Another Victory for tlie
KIC l'own In
The Anglo-American line of boats Is
the only line in Kgypt which flies the
American flag, savs the Woman's
Home Companion. That was the final
inducement they oftt-r.it winch decided
my choice of the .vt.ty tlower. But
while we knew that she was obliged
to fly the British .flag also, we were in
dignant beyond words to see a huge
union jack floating at the top of the
forward flagstaff and beneath it a toy
American flag about the size of a cigar
box. Beneath the English flag! I
nr-nrly wept with rage. The owner of
the line was at hand, and I did not wait
to draw up a petition or to consult my
fellow Americans. I just said: 'Have
the goodness to haul down that infant
American flag, will you? I have no
objection to sailing under both, but I
do object to such an insulting display
in size. Besides that, you seem to have
forgotten that the American flag never
flies beiow any o. her flag on God's
green earth!" He made some apolo
gies and gave the order at once. The
baby was iian'.ed down amid the smiles
of the Engiiii pa-sergers. But at As
siout we w. avenged when an enor
mous American fljg arrived by rail and
was hoisted to the main flagstaff,
twenty fei h.gafr than tl.o British.
When I cunie on deck that Sunday
morning and saw that blessed flag wav
ing a' ;ve me ever thing blurred before
mv eves, and 1 ilu as.-ure you that it
- mo-t beKutiful sight that I saw
in a.i iuat Miircpean continei.t. You
may talk about your temples and your
ruins and your old masters! Have
you ever seen Old Glory flying straight
out from a flagstaff in a foreign coun
try 7.C00 miles away from home?"
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years wa-i supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly tailing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
diseas . and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Mall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by I-'. J. ('honey Mo, Toledo. Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is tak n
internally ill doses from 10 drops to a teaspron
tul. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They etter one hundred
doiiars for and case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.
