Loup City Northwestern. VOL. XVIII. LOUP CITY, SHERMAN COUNTY, NEBRASKA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER (!, 1901. NUMBER 43. WMli 11 ILllill A Correspondent Says They Prevail Now Throughout Cape Colony. THE BOERS INTRUDING f AitTIII R ShPfprr’1 Commando Invade* I’art Here tofore Undisturbed—There Are l’lcniv of Friend*. It i* Said, to Help Them ftom All Side*. LONDON. Aug. 31.—Some interest ing sidelights are thrown on the .South African war by advices pub lished today. A dispatch from ('ape town to the Daily Mail indicates that Seheeper's command has now moved to the southwest and invaded a part of ('ape Colony previously undisturbed by the Doers, while more severe re strictions have been imposed with the object of preventing communication between Capetown and the newly dis turbed areas. The Cologne Gazette's correspondent In Capetown declares that the “entire Cape Colony is a seething mass of dis order and alarm.'' He asserts that the Boers are receiving support from all sides. Edgar Wallace, writing to Die Daily Express, expresses a decided opinion that Lord Kitchener's banishment proclamation will not result in the sur render of a single important com mandant and that much severer pen alties are needed, the only useful pol icy being vigorous military measures. In the early part of August a corre spondent of the Morning Express had a long talk with laird Kitchener, from which he gathered that “ it is not Lord Kitchener hut the government that is to blame for many of the present « vils." laird Kitchener, it seems, com plained that the home government continually worried him about trivial details, “merely to reply to parliament ary heckling,” and that this compelled him to enforce a strict censorship over telegrams, although personally he ob jected to the present system. He said he thought correspondents ought to he given greater liberty and should lie held responsible for their statements. He avoided expressing any opinion about the “approaching end of the war” and dissuaded the correspondent from speaking about it. “Both the Morning Post and Stand ard give the information as to the concentration camps and confirm the reports of heavy mortality there, es pecially among the children in July. This is said to be “largely due to the ignorance and unsanitary habits of the Boers," but conditions are rap idly improving. At the beginning of August there were 100,000 persons in the concentration camps. A corre spondent of the Morning Post asserts that llte Boer refugees got eighteen pounds in rations per head, as against twelve pounds per head given to Brit ish loyalists, and he recommends as politically and economically advisable that the Boers be removed to the coast. WILL INCREASE GRAIN RATE. Twin Citie* anil Chl«-»s« Line* Make Con ee*«lon* to the Miller*. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 31.—Repre sentatives of the Twin Cities-Chicngo lines met here to take action on the request of the Minneapolis millers for relief from the present rate discrim ination against flour in behalf of wheat. The railroads agreed to increase the grain rate, Minneapolis to Chicago, from ti cents to 7Vi cents. They claim that the increase of cents will re lieve the discrimination and put flour tor export, on a more equitable basis. While this is true, to some extent, it probably will not satisfy the mill ers. They claim that by a recent ruling of the interstate commerce commission they are permitted to hold grain rates 2 cents lower than flour rates. I he 7t<,-cent rate will apply to all lake ports. Prom the Twin Cities to the head of the lakes the rate will be cents. Work on Yukon Line. VANCOUVER. B.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—Con gressman Hull of Iowa, chairman of the house eoniruittee on military af fairs, who has arrived here from » five months' tour of China, Japan and the Philippines, is deeply impressed with tlie possibilities of tile new American possessions in the Orient, 11a says: “If I was a young man 1 don't know where I would rather go than to the Philippines. For a man of brains and industry the islands open a vast prospect in most every line of business for one who has the grit to go there and stick to it. “The mineral, agricultural and tim ber resoureesof these islands consti tute a field1 of commercial enterprise that is practically unlimited. Of course the present conditions of brigandage make it exceedingly unsafe for people to settle in the islands away from the protection of the military posts. But the people, or the great majority, de sire peace and safety and are doing all they can to help the troops attain this end. "Of course, it is impossmie to ihukc' an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental, therefore the Filipino will probably never lie an American citizen in the broad sense that is understood by all that term conveys to the man born in the United States of white parents. But as soon as lie gets a sufficient education and becomes a little more impregnated with our ideas and loses some of the ideas acquired by a 300 years’ association with the Spaniards, tlie Filipino will he a citizen in spirit, patriotism, industry and education and will be worthy of participating to the fullest extent in all the benefits of this government. “Of course, we will have to govern them with firmness as well as with kindness. 1' think that 10.000 troops is about the right number to keep there for some years to come." mi:I GRAND COMMANDTR.
