ARMY OFFICERS ARE BliSY Jnnion at Posts inr Department of Miiaoni Atteiding School. MONTHS OF HARD WORK FOR STUDENTS laerea.se la Nambvr of Officers Daring Philippine War Mtkfa Inatrae. Iloa While oa Daty Imperative. The officers of the V tilted States army In the Department of the Missouri, and probably in the other department, are bout a busy now they were when they were leading their men through the swampa and over the mountalna In pursuit of un reconciled Filipinos, and the work la of uch a nature as to make It almost Impos sible for an officer to attend to all of his duties. In the first place there are fewer officers In the, United States army than In any establishment of like numbers In the world. With the number which are neces sarily on sick leave, there are times when there la but one officer to a company, and at the posts It frequently happens that one man will fill positions designed to be filled by three or more men, and one officer will be quartermaster, commissary officer, sig nal officer and engineer officer, while on top of It all he may have to take command of the post or of some regiment or company stationed therein In the absence of superior officers. Even at the headquarters of the departments It Is difficult to secure officers to fill staff positions, and at Omaha one of the personal aides of General Bates Is act ing as Inspector general of the department, while another Is serving as Judge advocate. Order for Instruction. With thlscarclty of men came an order from the War department laat September, known as Oeneral Order No. 102, which was Issued for the purpose of carrying, out the provisions of General Order No. 155, Issued last year, which order, had for Its purpose the establishing of schools for officers In the posts of the army In the United State. By the terms of the general order of cur rent series the commanders of posts, subject to the supervision of department command ers, are In Immediate charge of Instructions and are required to keep detailed records of the operation of the schools. It Is provided that field officers and cap tains of over tea years' service as com missioned officers shall be utlllied as in structors, but where a sufficient number of them cannot be obtained the post com mander shall designate some other officer to act as Instructor. With this exception and some to be noted later all of the officers of the posts are to receive Instruc tions and to make dally recitations to the Instructors from November 1 to April 30. The course of study includes administra tion, theoretical and practical, drill regu , latlons, theoretical and practical manual of guard duty, small arms firing regu lations, troops on campaign, minor tactlca, military law, field engineering, military topography and sketching. International law, hlppology and Coast defense. Gradu ates of the military academy at West Point, the Infantry and Cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth, the Artillery school at Fort Monroe and the Engineering School of Application at Washington barracks are excused from Instruction in military law, international law and field engineering, but with these excepted studies they must follow the course as. do the others and It Is especially uoted that all officers must take Instruction in hlppology, while only offi cers of the coast artillery are to be in structed In coast defense, Oeaeral Hates' Order. It was by Oeneral Order No. 39. issued by General Bates October 28, that the provision! of the War department order were put into effect In the department. After citing the order of the War depart ment, he Instruots all post commanders to report the names of those officers in the excepted classes who need Instructions, and also asks them to report where they have not sufficient officers at the post to con Suet the examinations. He also provides for the establishment of noncommissioned pffloers' schools from December 1 to March II, two sessions a week of at least one hour's duration, and post schools tor en listed men during the same period. When thia order reached the posts of the department it was followed by a post prder by the commander forming the post school. At Fort Crook Major J. J. Crittenden and Captain R. L. Houston were appointed as Instructors In administration and Major Abner Pickering and Captain W. H. Was sell as Instructors In drill regulations. The books to be used by the students were specified, and each atudent ordered to provide them for his own use. Recita tions are from 11 to It in the forenoon and from I to S In the afternoon. With these duties the students and the Instructors are required to keep up their regular work, to serve as officers of the day and officers of the guard, to drill their troops at the usual times and In addition act as instructors of the noncommissioned officers' school and the school for the en listed men. The result of this condition Is that every man not necessarily on leave, because of his health, must be on duty all the time. The extent of this was shown re cently when it became necessary for the Wo ilnovj What It going to happen to the little boy who is stuffing himself with green apples.

V 1 1 jataW-T- Paul Kruger's Memoirs From advance sheets of "The Memoirs of Paul Kruger," which the Century company will publish In America November 28. we make the following extract. Here the old president describes the first annexation of the 8outh African Republic to England: All the difficulties which President Burgers encountered, owing to his own fault, were employed by the English to bring about and Juatlfy annexation. A large trajorlty of the burghers who lived In the plains were, as has already been stated, dissatisfied with the president's government, while the lnhahltante of th villages. who consisted almost entirely of foreigners, 2nd of whom a large number were not even burghers, were contented with Burgers' rule, above all because they expected great things from the proposed railway. When they now realized how strong the .opposition was thev came to the conclusion that annexation by tne British crown would not be at all a bad thing for them. It was from trtaa men that Shepstone received petitions In ivor oi annexation. These petitions were signed almost entirely by the village popu lations. Shepstone, the governor of . Natal, was authcrised by the British government to discover the best means for annexing the country. He left Natal for Pretoria with an escort of twenty-five men, for the pur pose, as he pretended, of discussing the Kaffir difficulties and other questions. He added openly, which was the case, that the republic had not defeated Secucunl and that thia fact would be a dangerous In citement to rebellion on Brttisb territory. I clearly foresaw Shepstone'a Intentions and asked President Burgers not to per mit him to enter the town with his armed bedy guard except under the escort of an armed burgher force. President Burgers paid no attention to my request. The president's term of office had at this time expired and a new election had be come necessary. I was asked by a great number of burghers to present myself as a candidate, and, although I at first re fused, I at last consented In order to put a stop to the dissatisfaction which the burghers had shown at my refusal to stand. But I made thia condition with the election committee, that, if Burgers obtained a majority they must rest content and obey him, so as not, through open discords, to give England an excuae for carrying out her plans of annexation. Already In the Drat week In which the votes of the several parties (not the official election) were re corded, it became evident that I should have a large majority. I went to President Burgers and said to him: "President, I promise to bring over the majority of the burghers to your side It you will promise me to take strong meas ures against the annexation and to defend our independence. If this is your Inten tion you must make it plain, ao that I can emphatically assure the burghers that the Independence of our country will be powerfully guarded. Otherwise my argu ments will, of course, make no Impression. There is my hand on It that I shall do what I have offered to do." Before the election took place, however. the British flag waved over the once free republic. Shortly after the above conversation, on the 21st of January. 1877. Shepstone arrived at Pretoria with his armed bodyguard and a few wagons. A number of "loyal" and excited inhabitants were foolish enough to take tne horses out of his carriage and draw him to the house where be was to commissary officer at headquarters to con sult with the commissary officer at Fort Crook. Under ordinary circumstances he would have called that officer up by tele phone and asked him to come up for an hour or two, but upon this occasion It was necessary to have an order Issued Instruct ing the post commissary to report to head quarters; otherwise he oould not have left the post. Whv the Instruction la Heeded. Said an officer, speaking of the work: When the number of regiments wss in creased It was necessary to bring into the service a large number of officers who had not had the advantage of instruction at a military school. Many of them had experi ence In the volunteer regiments and could handle troops In active work In a fairly sat isfactory manner. They had learned the routine of their duty, but had little knowl edge of the theory under which they were working. Young officers from West Point were promoted to command companies be fore they had served as many months as lieutenant as some of their predecessors had served years. This raw material, put Into the army, had a bad effect. In that the officers eould not fully understand their duty uuder all conditions, aud this Instruc tion is to take the place of the drill they would have received bad they served the usual time In lower grades. As sn effec tive fighting force the officers are good, but as theorists they are far from what they should be, but when these schools have completed their work they will be as strong In theory ss they are In practice, and will be as fine a body of soldiers as could be brought together in any country."

"Pie!" replied Mary, decidedly. "But there might not be sny left for me," said her grandfather. "But." said Mary, "there would be the patience, grandad." A very plain man has a very pretty daughter.

The population as a whole, on. tbfe other hand, took the matter very quietly. People who were preaent, and therefore In a position to know, aay that there were not ten burghers at his reception. The first conference between the president and his executive Read and 8hepstone took place on the 26th day of January, 1877, when Shepstone at once made a great point of the "Inherent" weakness of the republic and of the fact that it bad been unable to subjugate Secucunl. The weak ness displayed toward the Kaffir chiefs on the part of the white men gave him grave cause to fear, he said, thst difficulties with the Kaffirs might also srlse In her majesty's territories. The executive Raad appointed a commission to discuss matters more fully and chose State Attorney Jorls sen and myself as members. I absolutely refused, however, to discuss any questions st this conference which effected the In dependence of the republic, end nothing, therefore, came of it. Shepstone had sev eral interviews besides with President Burgers, who finally decided to call an extraordinary meeting of the Volksraad, which took place In February. The first subject discussed was Secucunt's petition tor peace. As already mentioned, President Burgers had left several strong volunteer corps behind when the burgher commsndos retired, end these had harassed Secucunl -o closely that he was now suing for pesce. But this did not suit Shepstone' plans; for, If peace were concluded, the principal argument in favor of the annexa tion of the republic to the British crown fell through. There would then be an end to his talk about the general incapacity of the republic to master the Kaffirs, or, as he phrased it. Its "Inherent" weakness. It was against my will that Burgers now agreed to his proposal to send two envoys to Secucunl In order to Investigate matters on the spot. This "duumvirate" commis sion, which consisted of Englishmen, of course brought back the desired answer, namely, that Secucunl had no Idea of mak ing peace. This dishonesty cost the English dear, as will shortly be seen. The second matter for discussion was that of a confederation with the British' dominions In South Africa. An over whelming majority of the burghers sent in memorials declaring against the measure. I myself made a violent apeech against any such plsn. In which I said that this confederstion would mean the absolute loss of our Independence. Burgers now resorted to a strong measure. He pointed out that several of the most violent of the opposition in the Raad had refused to pay the aforesaid tax of 5 per head and were consequently de barred from taking part In the present discussion and requeeted these members to withdraw from the Raad as unqualified. Although the state sttorney, Dr. Jorlssen, was on the president's stde, the Raad re fused to accede to his request, which was certainly a great blow to Burgers. It seems that thia Incident confirmed him finally In his opinion that the existing con stitution of the South African Republic did not give him sufficient power and that It was, therefore, Incumbent upon him to drew up snotber which would fetter him less. At any rate, he did draw up a new constitution and submitted it to the Raad. It provided for the Institution of respon sible ministers, a supreme court and ex tension of the powers of the state presi dent. At the same time sn alteration was made in the arms of the republic by the addition of a gnu. Although this measure met with the strongest opposition in the EXPENSES OF THE CAMPAIGN Treasurers of Several Gommittiet File Their Financial Statements.

BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1002. "-; England Annexed the South African Republic In 1877 "Re venge for Jlajuba Hill." Volksrsad the proposed constitution was at last accepted and before the Raad broke up I was elected vice president. The people, however, as the highest authority, rejected the new constitution. The Volksraad did not break up in a Ifry happy mood. Most of the members feared that the thread by which the sword of Damocles was suspended over the republic would break and end Its Independence. Al though there were several who hoped that the many new measures which the Volks raad bad passed In Its extraordinary ses sion might avert the danger. It soon became evident that the pessimists were right. Shepstone seemed to be only waiting for the arrival of the high commissioner. Sir Bartle Frere, before proceeding to the annexation of the South African Republic. Frere ar rived In Capetown at the beginning of April, 1877, and as early as April 7 Shepstone had an Interview with the executive Raad, In which he openly declared that he had been authorised and was prepared to annex the country on behalf of the British govern ment. I at once told him that I would never five my consent to any such step, as I was bound by my oath to uphold the In dependence of the republic. I must submit If the Volksraad agreed to the annexation and thus sbsolved me from my oath, but not otherwise. Shepstone thereupon asked me how long it would take to call the Volksraad together. I told him that I thought It would not take long If the presi dent Issued the summons at once. But here President Burgers Intervened, saying that It would not do to try Shepstone'a patience too far, and so the plan fell through. Burgers proposed Instead that we should at once draw up S protest against the an nexation whilst the government of the re public still existed, and appoint a commis sion to take the protest to England. This was done, but Burgers had never expected it to succeed, nor was he a member of the commission. In the meanwhile, on the 12th day of April, 1877, Shepstone executed his plan and annexed the republic. This annexation cannot be too strongly brsnded as sn entirely iniquitous set on England's part. It was In flagrant contra diction wtth the Sand River convention of 1852, by which England solemnly under took to acknowledge the unrestricted inde pendence of the South African Republic and never to encroach upon the districts north of the Vaal. But as soon as It suited her convenience, perfidious Albion broke her solemn peaceful promise, as she always has done, and as she will always continue to do when it serves her purpose. What misery has come upon South Africa through this breach of treaty! The late war, which has reduced the whole country to ruins quite apart from costing hundreds of men and thousands oi' Innocent women and children their lives this war, In which England has behaved In so uncivilized and base a fashion as to draw down upon herself the contempt of all civilized nations, had Its origin partly In Bhepstone's annexation. I say partly, for the war had two causes. The first and principal cause was the wealth of the gold fields of the republic; the second, "revenge for Majuba Hill." But If it had not been for Shepstone'a snnexstlon there would have been no Majuba Hill, and no "revenge tor Majuba H1U" would have been called for. The Boer always speaks of villages, or dor pen, where we would say towns. He knows the term "Kaffir town." or stad, but to him even the capital is only a village," or dorp. Translator's Note. RELIGIOUS. In Great Britain there are now nearly 10.000 Christian Endeavor societies. The American Missionary association re ported at Its last annual meeting that In fifty years illiteracy in the south has been reduced 60 per cent. Father Boulllion, a Canadian priest, la said tlan commercial travelers for mutual im provement and for helping others, now has 2,500 members. The society was organized July 1, 1SU9, wltn three members. Christian Scientists from every part of the country are sending contributions In liberal sums toward the $2,000,000 building to be put up in Boston for the so-called mother church. Some small gifts are also coming from abroad. The clergy of Connecticut have presented BlHhop Brewster with a beautiful pastoral cross and chain as a tribute of their affec tion and esteem. The center of the cross Is ornamented with a beautifully cut ame thyst. President Eliot of Harvard In his address at the Boston Methodist ministers' meet ing expressed the belief that there is "too much intellectual and emotional work by the minister or preacher and Sunday school teacher, calling lor too little personal exer tion by the congregation and pupils." An interesting: experiment was made re' cently in an English town when nine churches and parishes co-operated in one church army mission for the whole town. The largest hall in the town, which holds 2. uuO. waa packed, nearly every evening. Enormous open air meeting were also held every night. In many of the 465 gymnasiums of the Young Men's Christian association the gym nasium director conducts a bible class be fore the class begins its work.
