THE SUNDAY OBEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE- 17, 1900. S THE WAR IN AFRICA No Change Reported In Transvaal Situation. the BOERS STILL AROUND PICKS BURG AadcR-Pevrell's Colnma Occupies Rastenbare The Ministerial Crisis at the Cape. IDNDON. June 17. There ie no news tonight reported from the seat of war In South Africa, where the British forces are continuing to clear off the Boers on their front or holding In check or dispers ing those threatening the rear of Schoper nok. General Bundle's line at Senekal and Flcksburg Is now almost Invulnerable The Boers attacked FIcksburg this morn ing, but were driven off. President Stem of the Free State is still trying to en courage the burghers. General Dewet Is trekking north of Bloemfonteln. In an attack on the railway pioneers near Zand Hiver today, the Boers were driven off, but General Seymour, com manding the pioneers, was killed. He was an -American, and was formerly employed on the road. The indications are, according to re ports from Cape Town, that the Minis terial crisis will soon be ended by the formation of a cabinet by Sir John Gor don Sprigg. The War Office this afternoon received the following from Lord Roberts: "Pretoria, June 16. Rustenburg was oc cupied yesterday by Baden-Powell. A column etarts from this place tomorrow to meet Baden-Powell and repair the tele graph line between Pretoria and Rusten burg. Hunter is moving from Potchef fitroom. His advance brigade expects to reach Johannesburg on June 19. Buller, I hope, is at Standerton. Heidelberg will be occupied from this place shortly, and then the Orange River will be completely cut off from the Transvaal. "'Baden-Powell reports that the district -through which he passed is settling down satisfactorily. Over 1000 stand of arms were surrendered, and Hans Eloff and Plet Kruger, a son of President Kruger, were to make submission to him yester day, having been previously disarmed on their farms. "Botha's army has retired and Is be lieved to be at Mlddelburg. His rear guard was surprised and entirely routed by Ian Hamilton's Mounted Infantry." Rumor is rife in London that Roberts is negotiating with President Kruger and General Botha, through their wives, re garding terms of surrender. A telegram from Cape Town announces that the Ministerial deadlock is relieved. Sir John Gordon Sprigg hopes to have a Ministry formed by Monday, and it is believed Rose Innes will accept a port folio. A dispatch from Lalng's Nek dated to day, says that General Christian Botha's next stand will be Paardelkop, but with a "reduced force. A German ambulance captured by Gen eral Buller has been sent to Durban, where It will be allowed to return to the Transvaal via Delagoa Bay. Schrelncr's Rcsteraatlon. PAARI. Cape Colony, June 16. At to day's meeting of the Afrikander Bund Congress, a letter was read from the late Premier, William Schrelner, announcing his resignation and describing the cause of the differences between himself and his colleagues in the Cabinet, which left no other course open to him. The Congress adopted a resolution expressing thanks to the Premier for his services to the coun try, but Indorsing the opposition of the Bund members of Parliament to the measures supported by Mr. Schrelner. ESTABLISHED IN RUSSIA. Female Physicians Xoir Honored In the Land of the Czar. Consul-General Guenther. of Frankfort, says that the German Medical Weekly Journal recently published an article by Dr. Kallmeyer, of St. Petersburg, with roference to the study of medicine in Rus sia hy women, which contains the follow ing: "Women physicians- have established themselves all over Russia, and even their opponents must admit that they have achieved a respected position. They oc cupy positions as county phyrdclans", school physicians, physicians for the poor and the municipal ambulance system, etc A Mrs. Dr. N. Schulz, in the St. Peters burg Institute for Experimental Medicine, Is one of the foremost experts in .bacteri ology, and her lectures are well attended by physicians of both sexes. Miss Dr. Lavroskaja, of the City Horpltal, Obu chow. and a few other female physicians wcro last year with the expedition which went to Turkestan under the personal guidance of the Prince of Oldenburg to combat the pert. They all returned in good health, but their conduct shows a spirit of heroism worthy to be remem bered. "Dr. Pavloskaya has immortalized her self in another direction- At the right time she succeeded in Interesting St. Pe tersburg society in the establishment of a sanitarium for consumptives, and through donations from private sources and the imperial treasury the establish ment in Taitzl, near St. Petersburg, is in operation." Dewey's Relics. Chicago Tribune. The two oldest relics in the Admiral's collection relate to the battle of the Eng lish aga.net the Spanish in Manila Bay in 1762. One is a piece of a flag taken from the Spaniards at that time by Sir William Draper, and afterwards presented by the Rev. Dr. Provost, of King's Col lege. Cambridge. England, to William Everett, of Massachusetts, and by him given to the Admiral, mough the frig Is old. the red and yellow colorings are still plainly to be rccn. The other relic U called a "plan of the reduction of Manila and Cavlte by the British fleet and army, under the command of Rear-Admiral Corn ish and Brigadier-General Draper." This plan or map of Manila Bay and Its sur roundings bears the following dedication: "To the Right Hon. Earl of Egmont, First Ixrd Commissioner of the Admiralty, this plate Is humbly inscribed by hie most obedient servant, Samuel Cornish." The map shows the position of the Eng lish fleet at anchor in the bay on the night of September 24. 1762. as well as on the following night; and also the location of the cathedral. Governor's palace. Royal Auditory, Treasury. Royal Hospital. Town Hall. Archbishop's palace. Custom-House. the bastions and gates of the city, and many points still easily located in Manila and Ucinlty. "We Xeed Sleep. One of the medical journals pleads hard for more sleep for every one, and espe cially for medical men, wno are cut short of "Nature's soft nurse." How doctors ere to get their extra hours Is not sug gested, but the average person is recom mended to emulate the dormouse and learn to "drop off" at sundry times and In divers places. Undoubtedly, it is true that while we are particular nowadays about our, food, our sanitation, our exer cise and general hygiene, we seem to fan cy that we can do wrth less and less sleep. People rise up early and take rest late; insomnia Is a prevalent plague, and nerv ous disorders victimize all sorts and con ditions of men and women. There is not time, apparently, to got the proper al lowance of sleep In bed. and the Lancet even goes so far as to say this is not es sential. However, tho cultivating of a habit of sleeping at odd moments would not be without its drawbacks, although It would also have its advantages. It would be awkward, for example, to hare one's guests taking rest during a. party; but, on the other hand. It would be de lightful to quench bore; by simply taking fort winks whenever a particularly prosy story was being told. "Such stuff as dreams are made on" may not exactly be supplied to order, but, according to a distinguished scientist, who baa been devoting a great deal of time to the subject, we may do much toward controlling our dreams by the po sition we take in sleep and the amount of sleep we take. The recipe for pro ducing a bad dream is one that every body knows; but it seems less easy to Insure one of the pattern dreamed by princesses in fairy tale-s. It Is less pleas ant, of course, to dream that Kruger Is rolling you down Majuba Hill, at the foot of which a savage Swazl is awaiting you wtth a spear, than to dream that it has Just been discovered that you are heir to immense estates; but, at all events, there Is more satisfaction In awaking from the one than the other. CAMPAIGN'S LITERATURE. lGO,00O,000 Pieees of Literature Seat Oat to "Wis Votes. It has been said that the distribution of literature has come to be about the most Important feature of a National Com mittee's work, say I A. Coolldge, In Alnslee'a This phase of campaigning has reached truly colossal proportions. The head of the literary bureau of a National Committee must be a man of rare Judg ment, of varied resources and of unusual executive ability. The head of the Re publican literary bureau in 1S96 "was Perry S. Heath, now Assistant Postmaster-General. The head of the Democratic bureau was Daniel McConville, of Ohio. Docu ments were sent out from both headquar ters by the ton. The Republican commit tee distributed over 160.000,000 pieces of "literature." Over 16,000 packages were sent by freight or express, and over 130 carloads of printed matter. In the ship ping department alone 275 people were employed. The distribution by the Demo cratic committee was almost equally as large. The work has been reduced to a science. Each committee has lists of voters which are furnished originally by the -various local committees in states and Congres sional districts, and these lists are so ar ranged that, so far as possible. Just the right kind of document will be sent to each voter, and Just the right kind of ar gument will be presented to each mind. The Republican and Democratic National Committees today each have at least 3,000, 000 names on their lists. By far the larger proportion of documents distributed are speeches in Congress, which go out under Congressional franks, thus reducing Im mensely tho expenditure for postage. Of such great advantage Is this that in the Congressional session immediately preced ing a Presidential campaign, many speeches are made chiefly with a view to their distribution. Entire books have been inserted in the Congressional Record In this way. In a recent Congress, Tom Johnson, the millionaire Congressman from Ohio, printed as a part of his speech Henry George's book on "Progress and Poverty," and this waB sent out by the hundreds of thousands under Congression al franks. Of course, tho National com mittees have to bear the expense of pa per and printing, This class of documents is far from com prising all that go out. The literary bu reau of a National committee Is a great workshop. The Republican committee In l9fi, employed 27 writers, most of them specialists on the tariff, on currency, and on other topics of a political nature, and those men were kept busy at headquar ters constantly preparing timely material as the occasion might demand. Much of this work was sent out through the news papers, and three or four columns of mat ter for this purpose were prepared every day. Statements, cards, explanations. In terviews were distributed to the press In the guise of news. One of the rooms at headquarters was lined with books of ref erence, and two or three men were kept busj' all the time responding to telegrams from all over tho country asking for in formation on all sorts of questions. A speaker assigned to talk in a given town would pick up the local opposition paper on his arrival and find a statement about the tariff or about the currency which he thought he ought to refer to on the plat form that night. He would telegraph promptly to headquarters for exact In formation, and within an hour or two he would receive a reply telling him ex actly how he could meet tho point which had been raised. Similar inquiries would come dally from editors of newspapers in remote districts which lacked reference facilities of their own. The press bureau was a highly Important adjunct to the literary department. Over 12,000 newspa pers were furnished with plate matter, patent lnsldes and occasional editorials. Bulletins were sent dally by telegraph at the expense of the committee to 100 morning newspapers and to 150 afternoon prints. These bulletins ranged all the way from 100 to 300 words In length. There were special departments for al most ever" conceivable class of popula tion. Men were kept busy preparing doc uments in German. Swedish. Danish, Polish and Hebrew, which were to be sent to localities where any one of these lan guages happened to prevail. There was a colored bureau which had charge of all questions relating to the" colored vote, sending out literature to convince the negro that his interests lay in continuing to support tho Republican party. There was a woman's bureau under the charge of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who had 15 women in her department preparing for distribution literature calculated to af fect favorably the feminine mind. For it is recognized by the politicians that, al though there are few states where women are allowed to vote, there Is not one in which they do not exerclso a great and sometimes decisive Influence upon the bal lot. There were departments to look af ter commercial travelers, bicycles, sav ings Institutions and life insurance com panies. The ReKtcldes' "Well. New York Post. Tho contractors who are tearing down tho buildings near the Tale campus to make room for the new Tale bicenten nial buildings discovered the old regicides' well. It is about a block north of the Tale campus, under the front porch of a brick house. It has been covered up for half a century, but the wall remains and a drain leads from the surface. Into the shaft of the well. In this land, which was far out from the center of New Haven 100 years ago, tradition has it that the three Engl'oh regicides. Edward Walley. John Dlxwell and William Goffee. lived In retirement in a hut which they had built in the woods. Near this spot they dug the well. They remained only a short time in their hut. and then went to Westville and West Rock. It Is said that tho college will put a memorial tablet on the walls of the new alumni hall to commemorate the well. Doomed the Or -ran Trade. Chicago News. Moody's death brings to mind the fact that he and his callaborator. Mr. Sankey. exerted the most beneficial Influence upon tho organ trade for many years. When they were at the height of their success people all wished to be able to sing their hymns at home, and an organ seemed to produce the best effect, so that their tour was always sure'to be followed by sub stantial crders for small organs suitable for the household. Thousands were Bold In consequence. Coas-ressxaan HofTecker Dead. DOVER, DeL. June 16.

Reralts ea Other Trades Leagae Baseball Scares Other Sport Is Tferrs. NEW TORK. June 16. With a good track under him and a fine sky above, Kinley Mack, with McCue up, took the $10,000 Suburban Handicap away from the great Ethelbert today at Sheepshead Bay by a length and a half. Ethelbert was punished hard all the way through the stretch, but to no avail, while Gulden ran In third and Imp and Jean Beraud trailed home in the ruck. There was an enormous crowd at the track. The horses paraded past the grand stand to the post soon after 4 o'clock, and were promptly lined up In front of the barrier, ready for the start. Two false breaks were made in the first 10 minutes, but about Ave minutes later the starter caught the horses all in good line and sent them away, all together. They went thundering down the stretch for the first time with Imp leading, Jean Beraud second, Kinley Mack third and Ethel bert fourth, but dropping back. Before they had completed the lower turn Jean Beraud poked his head in- front of Imp. and they were running as a pair a length In front of Kinley Mack, who was a length in front of Gulden. The great Ethelbert was slowly dropping back, and soon took seventh position. Inch by Inch, foot by foot, Jean Beraud slowly slipped away from the others, and, when half a mile had passed, he had a length the best of It Next to Jean Be raud came Imp. with a head the advant age of Kinley Mack, who was hanging on like grim death. Gulden was still In fourth place and the others close up. Mahon still laid back. Joan Beraud'a margin began to get smaller and smaller as the horses and Jockeys were straining every nerve to get closer to the leader. They whirled past the flve-furlong post as If they were In a four-mile race. In stead of a short mile and a quarter. Thir teen seconds more and the sixth furlong post was reached In 1:15, with Jean Be raud In front, and Imp but a heed in front of Kinley Mack, who was half a length ahead of Gulden. Ethelbert still loped along, three lengths back. Around the upper turn they charged, no change being mode In the pace. Thirteen seconds more ticked off on the timer's watch before the seven-furlong pole was passed. Imp was' faltering: eo wns Jean Beraud, but the neck he hod over Imp was now a length. McCue came sailing along with Kinley Mack. Turner dug his heels Into the quivering flanks of Jean Beraud, and tho gallant son of His Highness responded to the best of his ability. He did not stay In front but for a few seconds, and then began to falter. He soon Joined Imp, who also had about enough of the race. As the horses rounded the upper turn and sailed into the short straight. Kin ley Mack was In the front ranks, a length to the good over Jean Beraud, while the 3-year-old Gulden was looking up danger ously close, having passed Imp, who was falling back on Ethelbert. whom Maher had at last urged along Into fifth place. It was a little late for the move, but there were hopes In tho minds of those who had pinned their faith to the Belmont horse that he might still land the rich stake and do tho Montana trick over again. The turn was passed and the Judges' stand was In sight. Kinley Mack was swinging along In the least bit of a hurry. Jean Beraud was spent completely and dropping back towards the rear. Imp was hanging on to fourth place and to Ethel bert. Like a whirlwind Ethelbert was coming through the stretch. Maher was digging In his heels In a frantic effort to make up the Immense amount of ground ho had lost during the flrst mile of h! Journey, and shouts of encouragement wero roared at him from the crowd. He was eating up the ground in bounds, as he seemed fairly to fly through the stretch. First Imp was met and passed, as if she was standing still. Then there was Gulden to reckon with, and the 3-year-old looked as If she was anchored, so fast did Ethelbert leave him in the rear. Now there was a furlong to go. and the great crowd began to shout Ethelbert. as It to help the gallant thoroughbred along. There was no use for Malipr to spur or flog him. The horse knew what was wanted of him. As If in resentment of tho pull on him during the early part of the rate, he gathered himself together, dug his toes into the yielding earth and seemed fairly to crouch and spring with each space-devouring stride. It was heart breaking to see that gallant thoroughbred, with fire in his eyes, his red nostrils flar ing and hM heart beating hard with every stride, doing his best to overtake Kinley Mack. But it was a hopeless task. Foot by foot he cut down the great lead, but tho distance was so short, and. as they rushed post the wire, Kinley Mack was tho victor by a length and a half over Ethelbert, having run the last quarter In 25 3-5. Ethelbert made a marvelous race at tho last. McCue was hoisted Into tho floral Jockey's chair, and the vast crowd cheered, and then a majority of the peo ple melted away like magic, for most of them had come only for the Suburban. The results were: Five furlongs Elizabeth M. won, Dub lin second. Therymer third; time, 1:012-5. Six furlongs Rush won. Modrine second, Gonfallon third; time, 1:141-5.

The day was proclaimed a half holiday by the Mayor, and the Innovation of a free lnfleld by tho Fair Association attracted to the course an assemblage of racegoers heretofore unrivaled in numbers and enthusiasm.

Army and Navy Journal. One of the results of the enormous In crease In the range of modern rifles has been a serious ono for Army eurgeons. So tremendously has the width of tho "zona of fire" In South Africa been in creased that the surgeon must practlcally be almost as cont'nually under Are as the fighting line Itself and, what 13 worse, carry out all his flrst dressings and emer gency operations with the knowledge that at any moment another bullet may either render his ministrations unnecessary or put an abrupt stop to them. The flrst sign of hesitation on the part of medical officers to go wherever their services are required has yet to be record ed, and many of them have received spe cial mention for conspicuous braver- In tho discharge of their errand of mercy.
