Telephone and telegraphic messages were successfully sent over the same wire between Knoxsville, Tenn., anil Chattanooga. It was the result of a series of experiments conduct­ed by the Postal Telegraph Co. and the East Tennessee Telephone Co. and the outcome will probably be the establishment of the system throughout Tennessee.

The L'nder Secretary of State, of France, who is responsible for the posts and tele­grams in Paris, has, with a view to avoid the transmission of infectious diseases, issued an order that the receivers and transmitters of all public telephones shall be disinfected daily by neing washed with a strong solution of carbolic acid. This concession to the prin­ciples of hygiene has not been very well re­ceived by medical men. The idea, tbey say, is excellent, but they take exception to the choice of a disinfectant, for carbolic acid has an abominable smell and his but very feeble power in the destruction of microbes.

Soap mines exist in several districts in North America. There is one in Nevada, on the line of the Central Fadflc Railroad- A box of soap taken horn it wa» exhibited at

A soap mine ex­ists at Ashcroft, in British Columbia, form­ing the bottom and sides of a lake which con­tains water strongly impregnated with borax and soda These having solidified, tbe sub­stance can be sawn out in blocks as if it were ice. Another natural soap mine or well was discovered in DaKota, IT. S. The soap is skimmed from a boiling spring and hardens by exposure to the air. It is like soft clay, and can be gathered with a shovel. There are soap banks or mines on Owen's Lake in California, which for several years have been extensively used. Several plants yield natur­al soap.

Dark Picture From Manila. Washington, March 4.—Offldais of the Ad­

ministration are alarmed over tbe reports from the Philippines. Private letters and press despatches indicate that tbe insurgents are gathering ia force to harass the American army during tne rainy season.

There is excellent foundation for the state­ment that the President may yet be compel­led to ask Congress for more troops before the war stops. Men who are now in the islands have become so enervated by the climate that they are of little nse in an'aggressive campaign. Great Britain does not keep reg­iments in tropical or semi-tropical colonies for more than a year at a time. Her experi­ence bus been that allowing men to remain for a longer timeunOta tbem to resist disease.

Many of tbe regiments uow in tbe Philip­pines have been there for a year, and the of­ficer* here expect that the death rate will rise considerably within tbe next few months. Tbe War Department bat given a change of station for the Philippine regiments no con­sideration. It is a question unforeseen and unprovided for.

Another problem for the Administration is how to secure more troops. It is practically admitted that tbe present campaign in Luaon has resulted in no material gain, and that tbe insurrection will go on for another campaign. The rainy season will begin within thirty dayi.

In July, 1901, the enlistment of all volun­teers expires by limitation. Unless Congress makes immediate provision for a new force there will hardly be Uow enough to effect it at the next session. A bill increasing the army could be put through before March or April of nest year. Even with tbe bill passed at such an early date it would require four or Ave months to recrui: the men and another two months to change station and reach the Philippines.

It would not surprise members of Congress if tbe President ahould soon send in a mes­sage asking that provision be made for addi­tional troops for tbe PhiUppinea.

Thf original intention was to l ave in nun schixil liovs sign it, but tonght the bunt had been reached, and half the sinners were grown folks.

The greeting is topped by an illustration of the Liberty IMI. and the American '"••!••-rust of 177^ and the Itoer of i.iuo swkmg freedom can in hand. "For the lo.ertv of the Transvaal." the greeting is entitled It reads as follows;

"We, the undersigned, the students of the public schools of Philadelphia, the ciry where our forefathers enlisted in their splendid and successful struggle against England's oppres­sion, desire to express to you and to the fighting men of the South African Republic their great admiration for the genius and courage that has checked English invasion of the'Tratisvaal, and the undersigned extend their most earnest wishes that in the end the Niuth African Republic will triumph over England in a war in *hich the Boer cause is noble, the English cause unjust."

Tbe opposition of the school officials was considerably modified when it was seen that the boys were determined. The only restric­tion insisted upon was that signatures should not be obtained in the school buildings, and so over 1,000 names that were obtained in that way were taken from the boys and de­stroyed.

The cost or prlutin* was raised by sub­scription among the High School boys. Tbe greeting is tc be sent off to Oom Paul next Week.

Land. Say* Mr*. .Sewall.

Indianapolis, March 3.—Mrs. May Wright Sewall, President of the International Coun­cil of Women, to-night gave the billowing in­terview on the Boer war:

"To my mind the Boer war is a most un­warranted assault upon the rights and liber­ties of a people. England has violated her own docilities of self-government and inde­pendence.

"The whole world cannot but admire the courage and undaunted spirit, the really sub­lime valor of the Boers, who knowing their relative weakness in both men anil money have held out so long against the British forces.

"From all human points of view the British must prevail, but I believe that this victory won by such violence means in the end cer­tain loss.

"I do not believe the sympathies of liberty-loving |>eople in any part of the world have been with England in this contest.

"The Boers'intention, if the announcement is correct, to place the women in tbe trenches before they surrender did not spring fro JI any disrespect to the women, but only shows the spirit of the Boer women who have stood side by side with their fathers, husbands, sons and brothers in defense of their native land.

London Speaker. Doubtless there are sections of Continental

populations always ready to welcome our embarrassments. But we cannot attribute to this cause tbe unanimity of powers which agree in nothing else. Foreign powers are hostile, not because we are shielding but because we are attacking a small nationality. They are convinced in Prof. Mommsen's words, that the present war is a repetition of the Jameson raid by the British Govern­ment. They regard English politics as domi­nated by tbe international financier. Tbey believe that with tbe death of Mr. Gladstone the light of tbe generous idealism which tbey once recognizor in Enclisb life has gone out. And it i» Mr. Chamberlain we have to tbauk far tbe Mack looks of Europe.

The powers are restless and uneasy. There is scarcely a oaliob which is not now smart­ing under one of his vulgar insults. There is certainly not a statesman who would ac­cept his word of honor. Be ie everywhere bettered1 to hate lee* bJa laacuou to the

sSr&meag-iam the greatest wan-

by u Minister who to judged by Europe to be aggressive, nnscropuloos, self-seeking, without being strong; a disciple of Bismarck who has bor­rowed the morals without acquiring the power of his master.

We had abeady done enough to make Europe apprehensive. The villains of tbe financial plot in South Africa had become the heroes of London society and tbe Times. Mr. Rhodes had received an honorary degree. Tbe Government bad proclaimed that it did not dare to measure its strengh against his popularity. And tbe Government has filled up the cup of those suspicions by refusing to prove Mr. Chamberlain's innocence after promising to the world an exhaustive in­quiry.

In his dispatch announcing the surrender 1.. •-.! Robetta said. -1 hope that Her Maj-nfVs limreni ment will consider this event satisfaet..ry i«-i-ar ring as it d.*s on the anniversary of Majuba."

Pos-ibly the event might have been ijuite a" satisfactory had it occurreil considerably earlier in the sea-son Ilowever, a date is a date one mil-lit think too thut the lesa said <>f Majuba in

the connection the better. Then a hundred and sixty routed six hundred, and since there have been half a di zen of the same sort.

He made four attempts and lost >ix thousand men. liei-C'ronje's surrender necessitating a concentration of forces the Boers withdraw, taking their guns. The official dispatch stated that circumstances

. made it impossible to intercept them. The coun­try was clear and the city was relieved.

Tee. General Bullet entered Lvdysmith.

England Is great but she is dull. She has neith­er eyes to see unusual conditions nor ability to

r cope with them. In all these years of struggle : in Africa she bas not learned to know her enemy. I His wardrobe and general lack of culture have , received ample attention hut the rest has been | overlo iked. She has not even learned his coun­

try. She bas been outwitted as well as outshot. ! Now and then there is a great English states ' man. Unfortunately he must die sometime and ; then the ship falls to the first petty marplot clever ' enough to seize the helm. Navigation Is no cor. ! sequence. Be knows where he wants to go, which I is enough. The passengers in the meantime are ' drowned, kingdoms are in mourning and the new

generation is bred on broken hearts.

There will be no change. It is too late. Tbe nation is too old. That muscular concretion the British mind makes up and It is more than ever there to stay. England knows It ia wrong to covet her neighbor's grass ao she jumps the fence and takes it. And tbe first bandanna of opposition run see her to a freauty of excited effort in defence of her "Npreawcy."

The great beaaty of it is site believes in herself uaplteitly. There are a few merry aogors in breadth of the empire but the great majority never take a day off from admiring themselves. My the same fnansusallou they believe the war is

sawaoas. "Wily. duly, and that Great ari­

I gather." and she does believe it. fancy: As ! well keep eagles in the hen coop. There are birds '. to be trapped by a gilt cage and a rosewood

perch but not these. But she will never under­stand. Tbe native for has gone to her brain and her mind is boHen.

Nothing less than stupidity amounting to a gift would hare lost England her colonies in '76. Noth­ing else will lose her Africa. And she will lose it. Perhaps not now. But in the years many or few if she prevails, the conquerors will be the con­quered. The spirit that animates those men and women is no more to be annihilated than light and air and the laws of nature. It is tbe essence of life Itself. Remember the struggle has been going on for nearly a hundred years. PaulKruger was four years old when his father went north in the great trek. His grandson was killed the oth­er day, and bis great-grandson, and his great great grandson will be fighting for tbe same cause if there is need. Remember the B jer blood is from the founders of the first Dutch Republic. Tbe burghers who triumphed over Philip and Alva: the people who walled the sea. Tt is the blood of the Huguenots the free sons of France. France that vi< an empire when Britons were wearing woad and bearskins aud but little of either. Moreover it is blood -reinforced by the sun and the soil and the wind and not depleted by the vices of byperciviiization.

Whether the conflict ends now in defeat or vic­tory it is tbe name. An avalanche is an avalanche, be it stones or men. But the present can never be unwritten and the farmers of .South Africa tie day bare reached a height that any patriot heart may envy. And they have reached it alone. In all tbe wide world there a-as no hand to help. There tbey stand, for liberty and manh.ax], m splendid relief against tbe nations. Tbe mighty nations, sodden with wealth that is squalor and empire that is shame.
