% pi SO •;CU R E *:FOR:'- Emperor Wlliiam's declaration to Dr. W. J. Leyds, Secretary of State for the Transvual, that he would not recognize- any claim of Suzerainty oTer the Bber republic, coming as it does so soon after the note to President Krueger congratu­ lating him on the defe'at of the English invaders und$r the lead of Dr. Jameson, is particularly offensive to British pride. Popular feeling in both countries is at an excitable pitch. The feeling in -Great Britain, according to the London corre­ spondents, is much more intense and bit­ ter than it was at any time while the Vene­ zuelan question was at the front. Great Britain boldly annexed the Trans­ vaal to Cape Colony in 1877, at a time wh^tt the republic was in difficulty with tho native Africans. Although the an. nexfition was said to be in response to a request from residents in" the Transvaal," the Boers soOn rebelled against British rule.' By the treaty of 1884 the independ­ ence of the South African republic was recognized in all matters relating to in­ ternal affairs. But Great Brjtain retain­ ed "a suzerainty over the country, and it was through-her ministers that all for­ eign Negotiations of the republic were to be conducted.

Hybrids Fine Animals- and May Be a Soarcc of Wealtb. • / A famous Montana character is Char­ lie Allar^of Ravalli; Mr. Allard is famous mainly because he is one of Cli& owners of the largest herd of buffalo in the country, and no man living has given to these now rate animals more patient study and attention than he. •"The coldest storms of winter do not trouble them," he says, "for their,thick, shaggy coats are wind-proof. During the heavy snows and blizzards they climb the hills and, turning tho**: breasts to the wind, defy the storm They feed where the snow is thinnest. Cattle are driven before a storm, and will often go with a wind sixty or one hundred miles from the accustomed range, unless they reach a sheltered spot. Horses turn their backs to a storm, but the buffalo faces it every time. They seem to keep in about the same condition of tiesli the year round, and are as good eating in the spring as they are in the fall, anil a buffalo steak Is as fine a morsel as ever a man made a meal of. About; two years ago I pur­ chased the .Tones herd of buffalo, which was at Omaha. -There were thirty-one of them in the herd, and-we paid (for I have a partner how) $18,000 for the lot, Marehiel Pablo, a.well-known cat­ tleman,.has joined me in. the business, and for the- past year has had entire charge of them, so that 1 do-not. know just,exactly how many we hate--about 140 I should judge how, and'by the next fall there will be fully 200 of them. "We have experimented "in crossing buffalo with all breeds of cattle, and the results are most satisfactory. The polled angus stock, when crossed with the buffalo, produces a magnificent ani­ mal. The fur is finer and closer than that of the buffalo, and the meat is sweet and wholesome. We are procur­ ing as many of these animals as possi­ ble, but will not put any on the market for several years yet. We are not sell- tag any buffalo at present. We receive letters every day from, museums, parks and shows, wanting them in all quanti­ ties, and, though we might dispose of one or two singly, we have no pairs to sell. A buffalo hide is worth 9100 now in the market, and heads bring from $200 to $500 when mounted, and the value of these is steftdily increasing, so that buffalo breeding is as good an Investment as real estate. Our herd the only one I know about of any size. There is a small one in the Texas panhandle, and these, with the few that roam in the National Park, are the. sole remnants of the thousands Which roamed the prairies but a few years ago,"--Anaconda Standard. Now It Isthe L/ullaby Concert. The lullaby concert is the latest. This charming idea was recently put into practice by some young society ladies of St. Louis, anxious to collect funds to establish a day nursery and babies' creche. These young ladies arranged a concert in which the lullabies of all nations should be sung in appropriate garb and with scenic accessories. The curtain rose on an outdoor summer scene. The songstress represented a young English mother, dressed in a simple white dress and Leghorn hat. She sat beside a hammock swinging un­ der a blossoming apple tree, and sang the sweet, familiar melody, "Hiish-a- by. Baby." Other numbers which gained much applause were one of Mo­ zart's lullabies, sting by a German peas­ ant woman in a rustic interior, prepar­ ing her little ones for bed, and rocking an old-fashioned cradle with her foot; I)e Koven's "Japanese Lullabies," sung by a young lady, who waddled on the stage with a beady-eyed infant peering over her shoulder in sleepy bonder, and a negro croon, sung by "Old Aunt Jemimy," over a woolly-haired picka­ ninny. But the climax of enthusiasm was reached when America was repre­ sented by an Indian mother, swinging her papoose in a nest of woven rushes, chanting a weird pathetic song of the forest The entertainment.was not only a unique and brilliant affair, but was a great financial success.

Tlie Times has fatuously tetated in a double- leaded leading article that the "march will remain a^/lorious tradition for the Anglo-Saxonpace," while the St. James' Gazette says' it relieves to a certain ex­ tent the dark odium attaching to Majuba Hill. But the principal cause of the excite­ ment is a dispatch from Berlin that the German emperor has declared, in no ambiguous.phrasos, that lie will no longer recognize the treaty of 1SS4, thus express­ ing an intent to dash aside the British claim of suzerainty over the South Afri­ can republic. Hardly had this news been published when the Globe issued an extra edition announcing under "scare headlines" that urgfent and extreme activity prevailed in the war office and in the naval dockyards, and adding the following startling tidings; "A dispatch received from the military camp at Aldorshot says that: the general belief, almost backed by proof, prevails there that the authorities are considering tho mobilizing of the army reserves and part of the militia. The men employed in the ordnance stores are all very busy." This announcement simply intensified the inflamed condition of the popular mind; and John. Bull, as represented by the average pot-valiant Londoner, shoutpd in raucous tones his utter detestation and defiance of the German ruler and his army. The activity in diplomatic circles has seldom been equaled, a correspondent says. Tt is feared if the dispatches an- In the eyes of the British, therefore, Em­ peror William is overstepping the bounds of courtesy in presuming to communicate with the Government of the Transvaal at all, except through the ministers of her majesty's government. William's declara­ tion that he will recognize no suzerainty over the Transvaal, which tfle British claim by virtue of treaty^ it> an added insult that cannot be passed over without a serious humiliation to the pride of Great Britain. The situation is complicated, too, by the unsettled condition of j^fjfairs in South Af­ rica. from whence trustworthy informa­ tion is exceedingly meager. Cecil Rhodes has resigned the premiership of Cape Col­ ony, but the reason for the action is not yet apparent. Once before, when there was ail intimation of. interference from the home government with the action of the chartered company in conducting a war of aggression against the Matabeles, Rhodes, in threat, suggostoQ tho possibil- ity of a British South A triCaTr repxih 1 io in- dependent of Great Britain. It is highly improbable that Jameson's raid into the Transvaal was made without the knowl­ edge and connivance of Rhodes. Possi­ bly that uncrowned king of South Africa hopes for an early realization of his dreams of federation, and has resigned in order that he may not be hampered by official responsibilities.
