Sufferings of Prltwli Troops Under the Pust and Vertical Sun of the Tropics. LONDON, March S. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) "Men seised with sunstroke, writhing and gasping for water, were lying every fifty yards or so." This Is not a description of a battlefield, but the account of the very ordinary practice march made by Gen eral MacDonald's Highland brigade to Koodoosberg on February J, as told by the correspondent of the Standard. And the brigade had only marched ten miles when the men began to suffer. It !s only from vivid descriptions such as comes by mall that the climatic con dltions of the veldt can be thoroughly released. The correspondent goes on to say: "Fortunately, the river being close by, water was procurable and the men all got Into camp at the drift by 1 .o'clock. Only a few of the cases turned cut to be serious. Two men were lost altogether, one of whom was found wo days later by a patrol of Lanxrs. He was In raving condition and died shortly after being brought into camp. The lessons learned from these things are interesting. "The march clearly showed," says the same writer, "the danger of taking Infantry for long dis tances In the heat of the clay without a proper water supply It practically decides that the route to Pretoria must be either along a railway or along the rivers. "Another thing clearly manifested was the unsultabllity of the heavy equipment of the men for a campaign In South Africa. Each man was car rylng IjO rounds of ammunition in pouches bung on his belt and attached with an arrangement of straps which closely resembles the ordinary mule harness used here. Hung on his back was a heavy overcoat, which, since the march from Orange river began, has, so far as I have observed, never been used once. Then there is the water Dot tie, canteen, rifle and other necessary articles, making up about sixty pounds. The kilt is quite unsuitable for such a march. Thorns caught them and tore the bare legs of the Highlanders In the most cruel manner." H. F. Provost Battersby, writing from Orange river to the Morning Poit gives a still clearer Idea of what life is to soldiers on the veldt. His dispatch dated February 5, is as follows: "The sun feels like a heated iron held close to the skin; one cannot hold piece of wood which has been lying in it The deep, liot, red sands makes un tenable the soles of one's boot and the dust rises at each step and Icings to everything that moves. To and fro In their midst, In a trail of dust that nev er settles, move continuously the long trains of transports. "The sidings are choked with trains loaded with an army. Progress is mad deningly slow for there is but a single line from De Aar to the Modder." Then comes a delicate touch of local color. "At evening," he writes, "from one Copp er Colored Splotches.

No man could paint that pic ture and paint into it the sense of war. Even the busies which cry to each oth er down there about the flres have no stern hardness In them no song of death. There Is not In all those miles the dimness of one bead of dew. But It is the plague of dust and flies that make life so unbearable." From Mod der river, Mr. Battersby writes: "When the first shot was fired across the Modder river the land was green in its way. It had at least on it a make believe grass, a sparse, dried, untooth some looking herbage, which man an ! beast accepted as fodder. Now It Is a biasing red waste of sand. The waste extends, the sand is Intensified as regi ment Is added to regiment, battalion to battalion,' battery to battery, troop to troop. The dust which was once a nui sance. Is now little less than a plague. It Is always being stirred by the strings of horses on their way to water ing, which pass and repass to the river almost every hour of the day, by the kicking, squealing droves of transport mules, and by the long spans of -xen." "But the dust devils are little more than an amusement to our dust-ridden souls. It is the dust which comes, not In daily spirals, but In overwhelming clouds, that we fear; which hides, not a tent here and there, but the entire camp, the roof of heaven, all vestige of the world, which blinds the eyes and brings blood to the eyelids, fills the mouth with its gritty foulness and coats every Inch of the body with film of brown: which lasts not for few blustering moments, but for hour after hour of. unrellevlng discomfort. durlnjr which it Is impossible to ride, to write or to forgive one's enemies, Well, we shall have, please heaven, but few more days of it now. After the dust, and but a short way after the flies. One used to think, as a child, besides the lice and the blood and the blalns that the Egyptians were let off rather lightly with Hies. A short stay by the Modder river alters that opinion. The lent Is black with them, the jam pots hum under the hands that iits them from the table and the flies pour out between one's fingers like black spouts of water. They follow the ir.k as one writes and the pen Is clogged with their severed feet. Beyond doubt one di I the Egyptians an injustice. 'But with the dust and the flies trou bles cease.

Attempts to Unite the Aepubllcans the Senate Has Failed. in NEW YORK. March 12. A special to the Herald from Washington says: All attempts to unite the republican forces of the senate on a compromise Puerto RIcan bill have thus for. failed, Senator Aldrlch and other members of the steering committee are trying to bring about an agreement but Senator Foraker Is still unwilling to go any furthen than to accept an amendment allowing all the food products to be imported Into Puerto Rico from the United States free of duty. He is not inclined to yield the management of his bill to the steering committee. He thinks that w hen he and his com mittee have decided upon a measure as proper they ought not to yield their Judgment to senators who have not given the matter the same amount of consideration. Senator Aldrlch Is still hopeful that some compromise may be reached and he Is anxious to bring It about, if pos sible, before he leaves for Cuba, about the middle of the week. The plan of compromise advocated by some senators Is to have the pend ing bill amended by cutting the tariff entirely loose from the general govern ment bill and attaching It to the Puer to Rican relief appropriation, but so amended as to permit all Imports from the United States into Puerto Rico free of duty and to reduce the duty on Puer to Rican goods Imported Into the Uni ted States, below the proposed 15 per cent of the Dingley rates. This, it is contended, would still preserve the principle at the bottom of the pending bill and would enable a trst case to be made before the supreme court to determine the question as to the power of congress to Impose duties on commerce between the United States and the insular posesslons. One of the arguments against ac cepting the proposition is that it would weaken the contention so strenuously made by the republicans in the house that the tariff was needed to supply revenue for the insular government. It Is pointed out that if no duty whatever should be collected at the Puerto Ric an end and if the rate at the United States end should be reduced below 15 ar ent the bill would yield so little G. R. Vosburg, who has been In the city paying taxes on timber lands, ow ned by J. E. Du Bols. of Du Hols, Penn., left on last night's train for Portland. Just before leaving Mr. Vos burg met a representative of the As- torlan and said: "Mr. Du Bols, has no present Inten tion of locating a saw-mill In this sec tion of the country. It Is true that Mr. Du Bois did not buy the timber as a speculation, and will at some time in the future build and operate a mill." Mr. Vosbur? siid that there was no ground for any sensation about the matter and that he had no Idea of the location, or when the mill would be built Inn-Toriured Babies And Worn-out Worried Mothers Find Comfort in CUTICURA.

The steamer Is one of the regular Santa Fe liners, and is a steel suainer of 3.2S4 tons net, and Is J95.3 feet long and 48.7 feet beam, 23 feet depth of hold. The Strathgyle Is a fine ship and Is one of the lagest carriers that has ever been In this port. She will take 4.000 tons of flour from Portland, and finish leading with cot ton at San Diego. The captain of the steamer should have no cause of complaint about this port; as Consul Cherry said that he was probably put through the customs house on record time. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
