“I awsked you,” protested the mortified
ex-coachman, “for a certificate of good
character, and all you say for me in this
recommendation is that ! ‘wouldn’t steal
a red-hot stove.’ Cawn’t you make it a
little stronger than that, sir?”
“Certainly. Let me have it again.”
And the ex-employer took the docu-
ment, erased the words “red-hot stove,’
inserted ‘active volcano,’ and handed it
back.
New York, N. Y., Nov. 7.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The war
in tha Transvaal remains a game of
“blind man’s buff,” played in utter dark-
ness. The results are known when a car-
rier pigeon wings a flight of 189 miles, or
when a rough rider carries news hun-
dreds of miles across swollen rivers and
. open country. Press agencies, which ex-
pand into victorious sorties cavalry raids
accurately described as reconnoisances in
force, are convinced by cold, hard steel
that the faithful messenger tells nothing
but the truth and the amateur strategist
in a smoking room of a comfortable Lon-
don club is at the mercy of the ruthless
frontiersman, who is liable at any moment
to upset the most scientific expert opinion
by riding across the country and proving
that what can not possibly be tru© has
happened and is the most natural thing in
the world.
It is a time when the official red tape
system can well afford to despise the
forces of public. opinion and when the
London journals, which have invested
thousands of pounds in systematized ar-
rangements for des'cribing the war day by
day at 4 shillings d word, can learn Chris-
tian grace and humility and be thankful
if their penny-a-liners are not turned out
of the war office to. stand in the rain and
fog and cool their heels. The London jour-
nals are, of course, hoping for better
things when the army corps, of which
fully 20,000 men will arrive at the Cape
this -week, once takes the field and their
own relays are on the ground to describe
tha triumphal march through the two
Dutch republics. Apparently they do not
know what manner of man Sir Redvers
Buller is. He does not consider war cor-
respondents either useful or ornamental
and the increased pressure put upon the
censorship since his arrival at the Cape
proves how little license will be allowed
to even provide social experts when the
real business of war opens. On the Eng-
lish side, meanwhile, there are rumors
barely in excess of the demand for special
editions.
The American papers’ midnight editions
show the ingenuity of the press news ex-
pansionist, who is paralyzed by the fear
lest another bird may come home inop-
portunely and convict him of mendacity
in raiding Boer camps and silencing the
enemy’s guns.
GEN. BULLER’S TACTICS.
The Ladysmith situation is in reality
unchanged pending the arrival of the next
carrier pigeon. The garrison is holding
out with English grit, and the Boer gen-
erals are forced to admit that the cap-
ture of Ladysmith is practically a ques-
tion of superior artillery practice and a
direct attack upon the intrenchments
rather than a matter of deer stalking and
setting traps for rash birds by hunters’
wiles. There is considerable doubt over
what has happened at Colenso.
The retirement of the garrison from
Stormberg Junction, before it could be at-
tacked by a Free State force advancing
from Burghersdorp, is regarded by mili-
tary writers as a proof that East London
will not be used as a base of supplies for
the army corps, and De Aar and Naauw-
Stock Car Charges Before Judge Kohlsaat
for Final Settlement.
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 7.—The old fight of
the interstate commerce association
against nine railroads running into Chi-
cago, which are charged with imposing
an exorbitant terminal fee on all carloads
of live stock brought into the Union stock
yards is up before Judge Kohlsaat in the
United States district court for final set-
tlement. It is expected that arguments
will last for two days at least. The issue
is the legality of the switching charge of
$2 made on cars of live stock from the
termini of the several roads to the stock
yards. The interstate commerce commis-
sion some time ago declared this charge
excessive and fixed the fee at $1. The
railroads, however, have never complied
with this ruling, and a petition for a re-
straining order was filed by United States
Attorney Bethea.
A Gasoline Machine for Towing Boats
the Erie.
New York, N. Y„ Nov. 7.+^A special to
the Tribune from New Haven, Conn.,
says: The Columbia automobile company
of Hartford has just begun work on an
automobile which is designed to take the
place of the present motive power on the
Erie canal and which is. to be used to tow
the canal boats. The automobile will be
the largest and strongest ever made and
will cost about $3000., If the experiment
is a success, other automobiles will follow.
The machine will be worked by gasoline
and will have a tremendous horse power,
sufficient to tow several canal boats. The
Columbia company now controls all of the
old Pope manufacturing company auto-
mobile business.
poort will be the first line of the British
defense of Cape Colony with Capetown
and Port Elizabeth behind them. Storm-
berg was occupied by half the Berkshire
regiment without field guns or cavalry,
and Sir Redvers Buller has wisely ordered
the garrison to retire. The retention of
Naauwpoort is of much greater import-
ance since it commands the approach from
Port Elizabeth, the nearest base from
either Kimberley or Bloemfontein.
Naauwpoort is now menaced by a hostile
force of unknown strength.
.At Colesberg the orignial Natal situa-
tion is reproduced, the British force being
divided between two posts, Naauwpoort
standing for Glencoe and De Aar for
Ladysmith, but there is one important
point of divergence between the two lines
of defense. The Natal positions were se-
lected for political reasons, whereas De
Aar and Naauwpoort are of real strategic
importance. Sir Redvers Buller, if he can
hold both posts, can command two bases
of supplies, and when the bulk of the
army corps has been brought forward he
can choose between advancing directly
upon Bloemfontein and going directly to
the relief of Kimberley and then invading
the Free State. Military writers are di-
vided between these two courses and are
unable to forecast Sir Redvers’ plan of
campaign with confidence. The force now
available for the defense of the strategic
line is of the highest importance for the
direction of the campaign in December.
It is utterly inadequate, not exceeding 4000
infantry and is without field guns and
cavalry.
Sir Redvers Buller’s sagacity in reduc-
ing the number of exposed points from
three to two is apparent, even if he had
to sacrifice a fine plan on paper for a
concentric march on Springfontein from
three points. What, however, can be said
in favor of military plans of defense
which were formed at the Cape before
his arrival and were mainly based on the
necessity of overawing the disaffected
Dutch districts by infantry garrisons too
far removed to support one another?
Nothing, except that the issues of colonial
politics were mixed up with them, and
that modern warfare has remained, after
all, an exact science.
THE UNCERTAIN BOER.
The keenest military writers who anal-
yze the situation lay stress upon the fact
that the Dutch allies are wasting their re-
sources by attacking the British at too
many points, instead of concentrating
their efforts upon one or two lines. This
is true. Whatever advantage the Boers
have won has been from the recklessness
of their enemies, who have found that the
Boer was first a hunter and-then a fron-
tier backwoods warrior-, hunting foes as
though the latter were deer or birds to be
stalked and entrapped, and who have fan-
cied that the Boer is another Afridi or
Dervish to be rushed and carried off his
feet. The Boers have made graver tac-
tical mistakes than the English staff, al-
though its record is not particularly bril-
liant in defensive work and they have
allowed three weeks to slip by without
winifftig a single decisive success by virtue
of overwhelming superiority in numbers.
The Santiago campaign was a better
study of real warfare than anything yet
witnessed in South Africa except the ar-
rangements for the rapid mobilization and
shipment of an army corps. In that re-
spect British organization was worth
more than American inexperience. Eng-
lish -opinion evidently considers it good
enough, as the result of the Exeter elec-
tion just announced, with an increased
Conservative majority,' clearly indicates.
Largely Attended—Important Business
Transacted—Rabbi Cohen’s Talk.
Yesterday evening at 4.30 o’clock in the
Assembly hall of the Ball High school
the Ball High school alumni held their
first meeting this season. Quite, a large
number attended and when the subject of
pins and badges was brought up from the
last meeting the membership unanimously
decided to purchase them, leaving the se-
lection of style to a committee.
Mr. R. James read a report from an en-
tertainment given in the spring at the
Ball High school through the aid of
Misses Quarles and Belo, the proceeds of
which were given to the alumni to dis-
pose of as they considered best. This
fund, amounting to $121, was invested in
books, which were donated to the Ball
High school library.
In the absence of Miss Block, the presi-
dent, Mrs. L. M.- Selby, vice preseident,
occupied the chair. She informed the
alumni that a committee had secured a
noted lecturer from the university of Chi-
cago to give dramatic recitals March 26,
27, 28, 29, 36 and 31 under the auspices of
the alumni with the following program:
Poetry as a Fine Art.
4.30 p. rn.
March 26—Longfellow’s Robert of Sicily.
March 27—Arnold Sohrab and Rustum.
March 28—Mark Antony’s Funeral Ora-
tion.
March 29—Tone and Coloring in English
Verse.
March 30—Tennyson’s Lotus Eaters.
March 31—Shakespeare’s King Lear.
The Meaning and Purpose of Tragedy.
8.30 p. m.
March 26—The Spiritual Lesson of Trag-
edy.
March 29—George Elliot’s Spanish Gyp-
sy; a tragedy of the conflict between love
and duty.
March 28—Sophocles Antigone—A trag-
edy of devotion.
March 29—Shakespeare’s
tragedy of the will.
March 30—Rostand’s Cyrano de Berger-
ac—Dramatie -recital.
March »31—Shakespeare’s King Lear—A
tragedy of filial love.
A large number of new members were
enrolled.
The alumni will give a musical evening
to their friends in December at the Ball
High school. The entire program is not
complete, but Mr. Hopkins will read a pa-
per on “Chaucer” and there will be- a dis-
cussion on Kipling by John Wheeler,
Charles Frenkel, Alice Danelly and Me-
lanie Pinsfein, members of the alumni.
In the absence of the secretary, Mr. W.
Bell, Miss Ella Erhard acted in his stead.
Rabbi Cohen addressed the members on
the benefit of an alumni association.
Among other things he said that an alum-
ni association should send each year one,
two or more of the graduates away to
obtain higher education, that the word
alumni was dented from the same word
as alms. Paraphernalia for the school
should be bought, he said, and he also
suggested to make the Ball High school
library only second to the city library, if
it was as fine as it should be. He said to
decorate the ’ walls with pictures of the
poets, events in our country’s history, etc.,
as pupils retain what they see so much
better than that which is only talked of.
The benefits are self evident, but he add-
ed that to be able to meet occasionally so-
cially kept uS in touch with our school-
mates and we will not lose sight of one
another. He gave incidents in his life of
how glad he was to see boys he had “gone
to school with.” He praised the alumni
for their start and wished them success.
Mrs. Selby, the acting president,
thanked Rabbi Cohen on behalf of the
alumni for his suggestions and the aid
they gave the alumni.
Then Miss Julia Runge read letters from
a picture house, explaining the price of
pictures for the school walls. This matter
was laid over until the next meeting. She
ended by saying that she and Mrs. Selby
donated to the alumni a picture of Anne
Hathaway’s cottage, to be placed on the
walls. She also said that Mr. Burke had
kindly offered any picture in his store as
a gift to the alumni to dispose of as they
pleased. The alumni thanked the donors
and then adjourned until the December
meeting.
Killed a Native in Central America and
Escaped to the Woods.
Chicago, III., Nov. 7.—A special to the
Times-Herald from Bedford, Ind., says:
George Buskirk, formerly of Stinesville,
Ind., is said to be in' trouble, in Central
America.
Relatives at Stinesville have received
word that Buskirk some time ago slew a
native Central American and was cap-
tured by the native’s friends, who tried to
burn the American at the stake.
Buskirk killed two of his captors and
escaped into the woods.
The adventurous Stinesville man was
formerly a saloonkeeper in this county
and 10 years ago killed a man by the
name of Easton who was trying to break
into the saloon. Buskirk was;, tried for
murder and acquitted. Buskirk then went
to Central America, where he engaged in
the lumber business.

GALVESTON TRIBUNE
(Member of the Associated Press.)
Official Organ of the City of Galveston.
Official Organ of Galveston County.
The news columns of The Tribune yes-
terday pointed out the importance to this
city of the navigation of the Trinity river.
The same reasoning applies to the Brazos
and to the shallow waterways along the
Texas coast. All these streams must flow
to the gulf, and their commerce will nec-
essarily find port at Galveston. In its way
the development of Texas waterways will
be as helpful to Galveston as deep water
on the bar, and our co-operation with the
interior will promote friendly relations
which we have not heretofore been care-
ful to encourage.
Texas has had many cases of smallpox
this year. In some towns it has been more
or less of an epidemic. Generally, how-
ever, it has consisted of a few cases,
which were isolated and easily controlled,
With no deaths or serious consequences. .
In some of the smaller cities thei-e has
been a deal of popular alarm and much
outerry. In the larger communities the
disease has attracted little or no atten-
tion beyond prompt sanitary measures
Uid proper caution to prevent spread.
Really under modern medical methods
smallpox is comparatively trifling. It is
distressing and loathsome as a disease,
but as an epidemic it has lost its terrors
because cleanliness is its deadly foe and.
hence it can be easily controlled.
There is not the slightest occasion for
alarm where the health authorities are
reasonably alert and the people observe
the ordinary rules of common sense.
The scares and quarantines witnessed in
the interior this year are wholly unwar-
ranted. Smallpox may be found almost
any time in any large city under condi-
tions that are far more inviting to an epi-
demic than can possibly exist in small
communities. The fact that there is no
epidemic in such cities ought to impress
villages and towns that they have nothing
to fear from an occasional case if they
.will promptly isolate it.
The English cable brings the news that
during the present week 20,000 of Gen.
Buller’s command tor operations in South
Africa.will reach Durban or such other
landing as the general chooses to make.
This is cheering news because it means
relief for the beleagured garrison at
Ladysmith and because it means more
English troops to follow—cheering, espe-
cially, because it means an early conclu-
sion of the issue. It would be well for
■humanity and for peace if Great Britain
could put 50,000 soldiers in South Africa
upon the - 'instant, because England is
bound to conquer the Transvaal and the
greater liei’ forces the speedier the ac-
complishment and the less the bloodshed.
Many Boers have got to be killed before
the thing is over. Many Englishmen must
fall in the march to Pretoria. But the
Boers will provoke less slaughter and do
less execution if they are overwhelmingly
outnumbered, for stubborn as they are they
must yield in the end and they will recog-
nize the inevitable with more grace when
they see the enemy in force.

The Galveston Tribune publishes a com-

issue, which reaches all important points
within 250 miles of Galveston the follow-
ing morning in ample time for operations
in the early markets.
It appears that we have a distinct un-
derstanding with Great Britain in respect
to Samoa and China. It is inevitable, if
we dabble in eastern affairs, that we
. make alliances,- for our exposure in the
Philippines requires the moral and phy-
sical assistance of leagued friendship. But
it will finally come out that we must give
something for this assistance. Interna-
tional friendship is purely selfish.
Here we are well into November and
nothing has been done toward building a
beach hotel for next summer. This is not
said with the expectation *df inspiring
action, but as a mere matter of habit. It
is plain that Galveston doesn’t want the
visitors who would be attracted to a sea-
side hotel. If we wanted them we would
proceed to make ready for them. That is
all there is to it.
