THE DEAD SHOTS OF SOUTH AFRICA mill Ili'voloiinienl or tlio Country , mill ( tic Cnn-tr for ( In.IIIIMINOII Itnlil The do III Ml n OH. World-wide Interest In tlife Boer and the Transvaal , the llttb South African republic of vast mineral wealth , which English cres'l ' covets , has Just been revived by the de feated Invasion o.f that country by Dr. Jame son of the Urltlsh South Africa company nt the head of SCO men , armed with repeating rllles and machine guns. Vor more than a dccado the Doer has been permitted to till his lands and enjoy the freedom on In the war against Ungland fifteen years ngo. Ever since 1795 he has had to ctrugglo against English Influence , but In the revolt of 18SO-81 , when the British wcro moat Inglorlously whipped nt Majuba hill , a treaty was made by which the republic was reccg- nlzcd by England. For sixteen years prior to that successful revolt the Transvaal was governed by the Urltlsh , having been seized In a time of Internal squabble ? . The Transvaal yields the palm to no other region ot Africa for abundance ot mineral wealth , and slnco IS S3 , when Bounteous fields of gold were discovered , England has never ceased to regret not taking the country when she had the pretext to do so. The question of boundary has been mixed up In that part ot the world for a century past. The Boers , nnd here It may be said that the word boer Is Dutch for farmer , first appeared In South Africa In 1G52 , being re inforced thirty-five years later by colonies ot Huguenots. They settled on the coast , but when the British adventurers came they moved north. They have been kept on the move by encroachments ot the English for upward of 100 years. As the English pushed up from the south the Boors ad vanced toward the north , but they have reached their limit , as the English have blocked further progress In that direction by newly-acqulrfd territory beyond them. The farthest colony Of the Boers Is that of Hum- pata , In southern Angola , founded In 1881 , and reinforced In l 93. In the treaty cf March , 1881 , by which England recognized the republic , the Boers acknowledged the suzerainty of the queen , but In 1S83 the British suzerainty was prac tically revoked by the formal recognition of Iho republic at the convention of London. It would sebm by this that thd present In vasion of Dr. Jameson , whose mission Is said to bo to enforce the alleged rights of ultjandcrs or alien residents- piiffrage , Is a flagrant Infringement of the law of na tions. Before the dliuovery of gold In large- quan tities there was a white population of about 50,000 souls. The native population Is vari ously estimated at from 600,000 to 800,000 , but olnco 18S5 the Influx of miners from all parts of the \\orid Ins-swelled the alien popu lation tremendously. It Is a very significant fact that two-thirds of the ultlanders , or aliens , arc Englishmen , and the Boers con tend that If they hadva voice In the govern ment of affairs the republic would won go over to the crown by annexation. The country wao settled by the Boers shortly after 1842 , when the British occupied Natal. The Boers , who formed two-thirds of the population , moved beyond the Orange , and later pushrd over the Vaal river , form ing two republics , the Orange Frae State and the Transvaal. The latter state was recognized by the British government In 1852. and the Orange. Ulver Free State two years later. Everything progressed fairly well In the Transvaal until the latter sixties , when quarrels between the Boers and natives began , which culminated in the interven tion of England'nnd seizure , in 1876. When thlo occurred there was little or no protest either by ! Boor or native , but three years later the former became so discontented that they made a bid for Independence and won. The legislative power of the state la vested In a first and necond volksraaden of twenty- four members each. Only those born In the colony are eligible to the first chamber. Aliens who are naturalized and own property In the state , can bs elected to the cecoml chamber , whoso functions are chiefly .for local affairs. The first chamber holds the power of veto. The president of the republic Is' Paul F. Kruger , known exclusively among , the Beers as "Oom Paul , " or Uncl ; Paul , and he to oc cupying the executive chair now for the third term. Ho Is without academic or foronrlc standing , but Is possosi'Jd of marvelous ad ministrative abilities. Ho Is over 75 years old , has carried the- musket almost continu ously and 1hr.ouglu many troubloun seasons- against English aggressions. Slnco his flrtt election In 1883 ho has been a match for the most finished diplomacy and statecraft. On the ono hand he has had to deal with the Boere , primitive and un- progrisolve , and on the other , a largo popula tion of Intelligent and speculating English men , who represent the mining Interests and are for ousting the old conditions completely and establishing a new state of things to sitk-fy their o\Vn ends. It was to pacify tie mining ciasg mat President Kruger Induced the Volksraad to establish a second chamber to which they could spnd their representatives , but ho was au'.ute enough to reserve for the Volksraad proper the power of veto. An Impartial writer has said ! "Thlu Is inoro liberal than England's Irish policy , yet It' emanates from what the Eng lishman styles In his contempt , 'a pig-headed Boo ; . ' " Bad blood has existed ever since the bat- ttta of 1881 , and the bitter feeling was In tensified when In 1883 Ih'o Volkrraad , In dread of an Influx of foreign gold Beckers , pasyjd an act forbidding the mining of gold and silver. Thly was not popular , even among the Boers , who for over half a cen tury knew of the cxlstsnco of gold , but pre ferred their natural pursuits of farm and garden. But In' later years the younger ESneratlon thirsted for the wealth ot the ground , and further enlargements of their teirltory being prevented by English pos sessions to the north , the law became a dead letter and the Boero took to mining. The result of the discovery of rich veins of gold In 1883 by an Englishman named Struben has been a tremendous Influx of foreigners. Gold In the republic S3cms to be boundless. The district Is known throughout Africa as the "Hand , " a bight of land , divid ing the watershed between the Atlantic and Indlon oceans. Unabridged the name Is Wit- watersrond ( White Water Illdge ) , and there on the southern slope ot the hills Is the- new city of Johannesburg , which In Ices than a decade has sprung from a ridge mining camp to a populous city ot over 50,000 souls. It has churches , hospitals , banks , theaters , a stock exchange , club houses and a race course. Its situation IP about midway between Zululand - land and Bechuandland , and In 1892 the out put of gold from Ito.mlnes was 117,748 ounces. The fact that there was gold at the "Band" was known at the beginning of the century , hut the Germans who were Informed of the find only laughed at the- explorer , Mauch , who brought the Information to Berlin. In 1S8G the Boer government threw open nlno farms , and the scenes that followed were similar to those of 1849 , when the great rush was made for the gold fields of Califor nia. Americans , Englishmen , Boers , Dutch men , Zulus , Knlllra and Hottentots mingled In an Indiscriminate wramblo for wealtlk The killing ot a man In a quarrel excited no especial Interest , and In two or three hours the fight as well as the dead man melted Into forgetfulness. On the 20th of September , 1880 , the gov ernment decided to nvirk off a township. They advertised the plan , called the now town Johannesburg , and Captain Von Drandlu was appointed mining commissioner. Prices for building sites ranged from { 2 to $1,000 , the government realizing $65,000 by the sale. Another sale In January , 1887 , brought Into the treasury $99,605 , and.In April $100,000 was realized by a third Pile. The- tumult of camp life was soon lost In the organization of the new city , With the new condition ci things came changes of oil eorts , Tlio stock exchange attracted speculators from London , from Paris and from tlio Ktmberly dIUrlct of Africa. In November , 1887 , there were tlxty-elght gold mining companies , with a capital of $15,000- 000 , and In 1890 450 companies , with a capital of $55,009/V)9 ) Krery ccmpnhjr wan compelled t > rtport QijhJ month tlio amount ot gold ox traded. For four year * It was the ambition Johannesburg to gto the monthly output reach lOD.COQfionncM. When this wan ta- allxod In 'IF92he ' town went mad. All fami nes * was bushel to celebrate the evtnt There was- bunting , rrteeches snd nlno ga lore. At no time- during 1893 did themonthl output fall balgw 100,003 ounces , and non the town -hop's to cehbr.ito before long tin t-vent of the 200,000 ounce output. In every month of 1S95 , up to September , the mines of the "Hanil1 ntono yielded over $4,030.000 and It naj,03Umat , d that the output for the yctr woul'1 ' be $50,000,000. Slock Rambling , which was at Its height during the latter part of 1832 , nearly bank rupted the town , but the craze had Its run ! and bmlncss after the reaction waxed strong j nnd healthy. The gold fln-t discovered at the "Ilind" cropped out of the ground In a farloi of parallel reefs running BO milts In a anight line- cart and weal. Thcso reefs varied In thickness from n knife blade to three nnd sometimes four feet. There were five reefs In all , nnd the distance from the southern most to that of tin- north averagol 150 feet. An American engineer , J , S. Curtis- , son of George Tlcknor Curtis , the writer , advanced the thsory that these reef ? were the ssrlw of an Immenp ; hxsln , and hold tint the dip of the ro fa did not continue 80 degres * , but slopsd to a level nnd sank M gradually that by bcrlntf from 1,608 to 2,000 feet In the ground the gold cftuld be mined as far as two miles south of the outcrop. This theory was confirmed by another American engineer , n Kentucklan named Hamilton Smith , who visited the land , In the Interest of tno Rothschild ? , There are three dally papers In Johinncs1- burg , all printed In English ; two-thlrdy or Its population are English , and there Is an American colony of 700. There Is a railroad to Cape Town , which It.about DOO miles away. The president lives at Pretoria , the capital , about sixty miles south of Johannesburg. The population Is about 5.000. Throughout England's warfare against the rebellious Boers their arms sustained a merles of reversjs , the most conspicuous of which was the battle of Majuba Hill , on February 27. 1881 , when Sir George Colley , with n force of about 700 men , was overwhelmed. In his position on the Spltzrop by the Boers' assault. General Colley discovered that a high peak , overlooking the right of the enemy's position nnd a mot > l Important point of advantage , although held during the day by a Boer * picket , was left totally unoccupied at night. Impressed with the favorable poi- slbilltleo offered to the British by an occu pancy of this position , ho determined to make nn effort to pMze the point. To this end he took Immediate steps , avoiding any delay from fear lest the Boors might at any moment como to a realization of the value ot this mountain top. Already the Boers had made Intrenchments on the neighboring ridge , known as Latng's Neck , nnd that they would extend their fortifications to the Majuba mountain was extremely probable. On Saturday , February 20 , working parties of the Boers had been obrervcd close to the summit and General Colley at once Issued orders that ISO Highlanders of the Ninety-second regiment , Hi of the Flfty-olghth , ICO Blflea and sev enty bluejackets should assemble at half nest 9 o'clock In the evening. This force marched In silence to Majuba hill , n distance of three and one-half miles fiom the English camp , after which ensued - sued an arduous , climb of three hours bsforo the soldlofha4 ) scaled the mountain. It ttas , however. , net yet daylight , being about 5 o'clock In .tho morning , when the troops had finally gained their position on the summit. j Tlicrp they found a spacious ' plateau of'-pErljaps 1,000 yards In extent , \\lth an olupng ( hollow basin In the central portion of 'j.\\o \ \ summit , leaving an area cf ibcut 200 yards' long by sixty yards wide , surrounded rby rocky ridges , beyond which the ground , , sloped gently downward toward the mountansldes. ( , The whole' natural arrangement was such as to formf a citadel for defense seemingly Impregnable. 7 Ths nearest Bosr Intrench ments weret thos ? on Lalng's Neck , about 200 yards distant , nnd nt least 2,000 foot below. A plcel ! line of the British was petted about the- whole summit at Intervals of ten paces , , he naval brigade , with fifty men of the Fjiftyr 'Bhth ' regiment , being re served wltiifrir.tye , central hollow At , daNYJjthp / r rltlsh occupahts of the sun'mlt were able to look down upon the Boer's encampment nt Lalng's Neck. When , about 7 o'clock in the morning , the Boers discovered the British trops , their apparent emotion was that of confused alarm. They at cncc begin to drive In their 'horses and cattle , and prepared to remove their wagons. This momentary panic was , however , soon ended by the authority of the commander , , and storming parties were forthwith sent up the hill. The firing began at 9 o'clock on that part of the summit which was held by Lieutenant Hamilton , who had In his command twenty men c-t the Ninety-second Highlanders. Desplto the fact that Commander Komllly U. N. , of the naval brigade , waa killed by' a chance shot early In the day , the loss of life throughout the forenoon was small. Communication by the British forces holdIng - Ing the summit had bsen established with their camp by means of .1 heliograph , and they had become confident that they would be able to maintain their position. At this time the arrangement of the British forces was as follows : , One company of the Ninety- second extended its line over the whole brow of the mountain. The other company was held In reserve In the rear of the rldgq. One company of the Fifty-eighth wns _ also marshalled on the comb of the mountain , filling out the line of the Ninety-second's company. The other company of the Fifty-eighth was Joined to the Ninety-second regiment's reserve. The sailors were located at the southeast corner of the plateau , a small reserve of them being retained with ( he. other reserves. No exten sive fortifications , were attempted , but the line of soldiers made covers of the stones and turr. turr.After After five hours _ of unceasing fire , nt noon the attack seemed about to cease. At that time Sir George laid down to sleep , the gen eral confidence In the British strength being then , unimpaired. Lieutenant Hamilton with twenty Highlanders had been severely as sailed by the ejiomy , nnd was uneasy as to the .final Issue. After 12 o'clock ho left his position to report , to tha officers that he had seen a large number of the enemy passing Into the hollow underneath the point ho oc cupied. Ho therefore suspected that a spe cial assault from that point was Intended and requested that reinforcements should b8 sent him at onceThesa were promised , and he returned to his post. Very soon after this Major Hay of the Ninety-second regiment , with Colonel Stew art and Major Fraeer , were startled by the. gound of brisk firing -near at hand. Lieuten ant Wright hurried from his command , cryIng - Ing out that reinforcements should be sent him at once. The general , who had been roused , nt once began getting men forward from the reserves , but It was discovered that the soldiers w-erejvby no means anxious for the work cutsout for-Mbem. The movement was made slowly and with hesitation.

The ovcrw helming republican mnjortlty In both branchc-i will relieve the democrats of any responsibility In shaping legislation and this Is a great temptation to the mi nority to npp-.ir In the role of obslructlcn- Ists and thereby needlessly prolong the BJS- slrn. The republicans fully realize their re sponsibility nnd uro preparing to enter vig orously upon the work of the sisilon.

Each brdy will then talc1 n vote- upon accepting or rejactlng the amendments. In this man ner , by holding ses 'ons both afternoons nnd evenings. It Is believed that the entire work can bo gons over In two nicnths. A few membjrs are In favor of going on with the ordinary work ot the session , and either take up the code after the appropria tion b Us are out of the way , or els > make HID ccdf revision the , subject cf an extra session. UESUBMISSION A FACTOR. Much depends upon the tlmo that may he cot.sumed In considering modifications of the mulct law and In disposing of the resubmls- slon resolution. The opponents of rcsub- mlsslon are In full control of the organiza tion of the lower hoiibo , but this fact doss not , seem to dampen the ardor of the- en thusiastic supporters of this mcasare. Mr. Funk of Hnrdln , who Is the recognized lender of this clement , says th.xt they pro pose to push resubmlsslon to the- front early In the session , but tills can hardly be ac complished without the active operation of Speaker Dyers , who Is supposed to bo ad verse to such a movement. Much time- will necessarily bo consumed In considering bills for the proper regulation of loan and savings associations. Some rsdlcal changes'ln the Insurance laws will also be proposed , Including a valued pol icy bill , which will be Inlroauced by Ucpre- EentnlvEi Finch of Hiimboldt. The usual batch of mining bills will be Introduced , which will Include provisions for doing away with all screens and abolls'nlng 'truck stores. " The only Important subject that Is not likely to engage much qttenttn is railway legislation , liotli the railroad corporations and the people sem to be , taking a rest and the standing committee on railways will probably have llttlo to do. The Woman's Christian Ten rance union will endeavor to have the "age of consent" lalscd to 18 end will probably push the bills for municipal suffrage , nnd possibly for a con stitutional amendment to strikeout the- word "male" from the state constitution. Both the State university and the Agricul tural college- will ondMvor to secure a spe- c'nl tax for llielr support.

UNITED STATES ARMY EXPERIMENT Athletes Adopting It A Specific for Inebriety , an Antklote for Opium and a Remedy for iUitny Human The unbounded success which lint ) attended the use of Vine KoUfra by college athletic trainers and the bmcDclal results derived from It by whole battalions of troops on the march , and the recently reported experi ments made by United States army author ities , Is attracting the attention of the leadIng - Ing medical scientists cf the world. Vine Kolafra Is a ptcparatlon from a nut called rtcrnculla ( also named Kolafra ) , a product of the West Indies nnd Africa. This nut Is the fruit of n tree which grows from thirty to sixty feet In height. It Is of darkish hue , Irregular contour and about one-half the slzo of an egg. The frssh nut Is con- stanlly , carried and tisod by the natives' . They chow It , nnd the benefits arc direct and po tent. Thcso nut chcn era are noted for their miBcular development , symmetry of phy- slquc , power to endure hardship nnd toll and apparent exemption from alcknuss nnd disease , They are bright , active and athletic , and attribute their condition to the UM ot thli nut. nut.This This article , In the form of Vine Kolafra , s now extensively used In this country by nthletej In training , and physicians prescribe t In their treatment of patients. It hna been largely experimented with In army circles. A modified form cf Kolafra , which la exactly the same In effect , has been adopted by the French and German armies a.i part of their marching rations , nnd It Is low being tried In the United States army h the view of adopting ) It for the same inrpose , as , In the language of Trainer Mur- ) hy of the New York Athletic club , "It Is mpcs 'lble to make n man tired" while taking IColafra , Its tonic properties bslng Invalu able. able.Dr. Dr. A. L. Glhon , medical director , United , tales navy , Washington , In a detailed report % * \ of the action of this remedy , madti to the Naval Medical society , says that ho had occasion to use It In the treatment of neurasthenia. The patient was a lady. Her nervotiu system was sarlously deranged , she suffering with excruciating headache , nausea , Insomnli , great despondency , palpitation , I Inter-costal neuralgia ami impsrfct secretions. b tier tonics , guarana , etc. , the symptoms were not mitigated. He then administered a prescription made frcm this nut with re markable effect. Thei headache disappeared entirely , th3 appetite was recovered , muscular vigor regained , and mental dejection relieved , refreshing s'leep produced and the secretions became normal. The remedy caused no gartrlo disturbance or constipation , as , had attended the prior use ot chocolate. The remarkable - markablo satisfactory results of this case Induced him "to recommend the remedy as i nerve stimulant and nn Invigorating nnd waste-preventing agent In other neurasthenic cases. It producad its effects without marked jxc'tutlon of the circulation , and consequently with no after effects cf depression or ex haustion. It Is a mental exhllarant , over coming despondency and brightening the In tellect \\ltliojt rcpultant langour. It Imparts tone to the musclar apparans nnd secreting organs. " In a subsequent article Dr. Glhon reiter ates his opinion of the therapeutic value of tl'ls remedy , nnd cites the case of a physi cian's wife , who was a sufferer from aggra vating sick headache , great prostration and other nervous phenomena. The huccets In this case wan as pronounced ns In the ono first stated. A few doses ot the remedy was followed by n speedy abatement and final disappearance of the ciiptomary monthly attack of headaches , which had been In all previous ca ! > es exceedingly persistent and Intensely painful. Thcss are only two of a long list of suc- cefsful experiments with the article detailed in the leading medical Journals. Vine Kolafrn Is the form In which the nut 19 generally used , It being most efficient , more palatable and agreeable to tako. Its action en tha system Is that of a powerful tcnlc Invlgoraiit and stimulant. In the case nr anldlnm. nthletCB and persons undergoing unusual physical hardships , It stimulates the heart , causing a strong , regular pulse beat , producing an CVPII. stimulation of the whole muscular system , , and at the mime tlmo Imparting prolonged strength and endurance , allaying hunger , preventing nil waste and robtorlnu energy. Indeed , It mny ba called Nature's own Ionic , and stlmuhnt , leaving no detrimental reaction , na In the case cf alco holics , but generating and developing noivcin foice and muscular strength by Nature's own methodo , panetratlng to every part ot the body , acting en every cell of blood , muscle and bone tissue until all portions are nllko benefited. As a stimulant In nthletlc training It to hlb'nly recommended by M. C. Murphy , trainer of the New York Athletic club and of Yale college ; by Arthur T. Lumloy , editor and proprietor of the New York Illustrated News , nnd numerous other atliliitca and train ers. The Intense thirst provoked by nthlctlo training Is only aggravated by alcohollo stimulants. In Vine Kolafra Is found a remedy which not only allays this thirst BO often attendant upon overtraining. It maintains the equilibrium of the hojrt-bent , producing free nnd unlabored respiration during long tasks ot active exe-rcleo. The USD cf Vine Kolafra Is also Indicated In alcoholism. Dr. James Nolan of Jamaica says of I'no remedy : "For Inebriety It Is n specific ; a single fresh nut ground up and made Into paste with water or spirits will cause all signs nt Intoxication to disappear In half an hour , " It produces no bad effects , caused a scnsa of llghtncsu and well being , nervous depression cows arid the mental condition ot tlio patient Is at once changed , It doou uot produce n hiiblt , anil the use can b : discontinued at any time. It quickens the brain nnd excite * thn Imagination , It counteracts Oio effects cf alcohol , opium , etc. , and satlidf' * the Inordi nate craving for uuch stimulants , producing a feeling of contentment nnd rest. , In the recent athletic games between our representative athli'Us nnd Ihoko of Eng land , the Britons acknowledged thw HU- perlor system of training of the Americans An Important part of this superior nyktfm waa the use by nil our cuntcMnnlH of Vine Kolafra during training. Tlio result wax a IOIIB line of world record breaking victories for our boys , In the London Practitioner , Surgeon 11. II.
