(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
LONDON, June . The "yellow per
il" as the Chinese crisis Is now called
here, is, for the moment, relegated to
second place. Public Interest in the
hospital scandals in South Africa has
so absorbed attention that tS amount
of official quibbling can suppress It.
The treatment of thousands of wounded
and fever-stricken British soldiers In
the field threatens to become aa seri
ous a matter for public agitation as
the military camps were after the
Spanish-American war. If Lord Rob
erta was not so frankly willing to
shoulder the major part of the respon
sibility, the outcry Mr. Burdett
Coutts' letters raised would wellnigh
have swamped the government But,
few people care to' seriously criticize
the general whose consideration for
his men, especially the wounded. Is a
byword In the army and elsewhere.
The action of Lord Landsdowne. the
secretary of state for war. In submit
ting the criticism of Lord Roberts him
self, was a master-stroke of politics
which temporarily saved the govern
ment's heal. However, if the proposed
parliamentary committee finds the war
office failed to adopt necessary medical
precautions it will take the conserva
tives a-long time to re-eBUbllsh their
prestige with thousands In Great Brit
ain v. ho have suffered bitterly through
the loss and illness of relatives In South
Africa. It has be-?n hard enough for
those bereaved to "grin and bear" the
long casualty lists, but with the suspi
cion that lives were needlessly wasted,
there is no longer any restraint to their
sorrow or limit to their indignation.
A significant pgn of the times is the
announcement In the July issue of the
Nineteenth Century that some of the
most distinguished men, regardless of
party, have agreed to join an associa
tion with the object of fixing steadily
public attention on the lessons of the
war, foremost among which is the ne
cessity for examining the defenses of
the empire and the need of conducting
the various departments of state on or
dinary business Drtneiples. Among
those who have premised to become
members are Lord Roseberry, the Earl
of Invert and Melville, the Earl of Ros
as, th? Earl of Clanwilliam, Viscount
Peel, the Bishop of London the Rt
Rev. Vandell Creighton, V. D.), Cardi
nal Vaughan, Sir Wemyss Reld, Sir
Howard Vancell and a large number of
members of the house of commons and
army officers.
Viscount Deerhurat, colonel of a vol
unteer battalion of -.he Worcester reg
iment, who married an American,
Mies Virginia Bonynge (daughter of
Vr. Charles W. Bonynge, formerly of
San Francisco), In testifying before a
parliamentary committee this week,
hrought home with startling force the
rottenness of the material supplied to
the army. He declared that after pay
ing an extra prbe for shoes for the
battalion, after one marcn they were
"like paper bags, with fhreds of leather
Inside," and "you could easily put your
finger through the majority of the
soles."
An amusing story Is current regard
ing Harry Beaum.int, one of the best
dressed London clubmen, who married
Miss Jessie Fellowes, of New York, and
went to South Africa as an officer of
the Cheshire Yeomanry. It Is said that
he requisitioned a Boer house for his
own us?, but Cefjre occupying It, he
"showered the building with Insect
powder" and "drenchid It with eau de
cologne."
How tired the people of England are
becoming of such kid-gloved methods
of warfare could be judged the other
night, when Sir Evelyn Wood, the adjutant-general
to the forces, who Is
notoriously lnflu?nced by feminine ad
vice, received a hostile reception at the
hands of such a broad-minded body as
the Institution of Mechanical Engin
eers. Somewhat on these lines. Sir
Claude M. MacDonald. the British min
ister to China, is coming in for criti
cism. It Is frequently said that he is
a better hand at afternoon teas than
in preserving the empire's Interests In
China. A local paper at Tien Tsln
once said it was evident Sir Claude's
motto was. "I do not care what her
flag Is, so long as she ts 'air."
It was not generally known that last
September Sir Claude MacDonald was
suffering so much from heart disease
and other complications, that he coutd
scarcely walk a hundred yards.
Real gaiety reigned this week for the
first time this season. Heretofore the
festivities have been few and far be
tween, and of a rathjr forced order.
But during the last few days, with the
arrival of the khedive of Egypt, ba
zaars, entertainments, the concert and
countless dinners, London has taken on
its old-time aspect for this time of
year. The Americans here have taken
a conspicuous share In the festivities.
Mrs. Mackay's house which had so long
been closed on account of mourning
In the family, was reopened Thursday
with a concert. Mrs. Mackay received
her guests at the top of the historic
staircase which was once In an Ital

Foraker Says the Republican Platform
Was Altered Without His
Knowledge.
NEW YORK, June 30. Senator For
aker, of Ohio, has given the Tribune a
statement regarding his knowledge of
what was done by the sub-committee
on resolutions of the republican party
when the platform was being framed.
He says the sub-committee had three
and probably four meetings before It
reached the full committee, and he at
tended only the first two meetings,
He says that his knowledge of the
action of the sub-committee Is confined,
therefore, to the first and second meet
ings. It may be remembered that
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, charged
that a plank In the platform defining
the power of congress over the terrl
tory of the United States had been
approved by President McKinley and
had been agreed to by the sub-com
mittee on the platform, but had been
surreptitiously excluded in the flnal
draft of the platform.
In his stat.-nvnt for publication in
the Tribune; Senator Foraker says that
at neither one ni the meetings he at
tended did any one suggest that the
plank asserting the power of cor.gresB
to govern the t -rritorles should be
I omitted, nor did nny one suggest that
I the plank In record to the merchant
marine should l;e modified as it was,
The senator from Ohio knew nothing
about the changes and omissions until
he read the platform as-It fianlly ap
peared.

Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthv,
active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves ; or it may be slow fn
developing, with 6light wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable; the ten
dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic.
Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of proper
food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently oausu it to develop
in early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic,

was read to the full committee. All
I know aboul the action of the com
mittee Is confined, therefore, to Its first
and second meetings. At the first
meeting read the draft thul had been
prepared by Mr, Smith and others.
It consisted of an extended recital of
the achievement of President McKin
ley and an earnest tribute to him,
followed by a number of pec I He
declaration lit regard to the financial
question, the authority of congress to
govern acquired territory, pensloi.s,
tc.
"There was considerable discussion
as to the exuet Iiimkukj- that should
be employed In the monVy plunk as 0
substitute for the word 'flexible,' which
It was thought should be omitted, and
some little dlsvussion ns to the omis
sion of the 'ord 'aid' and the sutstl

the U-ihmlau nn.il, a substitute was
offered by Mr. Madden, which together

I have referred, wus, without any for

"In view of the position taken by Mr.

this connection Mr. fmiih's draft, to

he read to the sub-committee what he

a minor character, It was, without any
formal vote, accepted, and the commit
tee adjourned until 9 o'clock lu the
iiioruiiiir. at which lime Mr. Qulgg
hoped to be ready to make a final re
port. At neither one of these meetings
did any one rugg-st that the plunk as
serting the power of congress to gov

nor did any one suggest that the plank
should be moditied except as noove
Indicated, and I did not know until
after the platform had been reported
to the convention that the plunk
isseit.iig th1? power of congress to
govern the territories had been omit

plank had been change t ) the form In

"Whether these subjects were dis
ri'ssed and acied upon at the meetings
of the sub-committee which I did not
attend, I do not know. I learned of the
matter for the first time after the
plat f irm had been reported to the
convention and was published In the
newspapers. I dl 1 not know until then

anybody to omit any of the special

Porto Itlcans Expect America to Feed
and Clothe and House Them.
nAnm.-suiu:, June i'). The war
department har received an Interesting
report 'rom General Davis, command
ing our for?es In Porto Itlco, concern
Ing the great hurricane which swept
over the Islnnd last August and the
conditions resulting from the efforts
of the United States to maintain the
Islanders through their eons?uent pov
erty and suffering. Referring to the
food issued by the government to na
tlves. General Davis rays:
The natlvs have beeome imbued
with the belief that the United States
Is to supply food, rebuild their houses
and give them all the necessaries of
life for an indefinite period. It seems
Impossible to make them understand
that the nid was only Intended to tide
them over and enable them to recover
from the great disaster. They seem
Indisposed to replant their crops, and
when January 1, 1300, arrived (the dute
which Oeneral Davlg had fixed for dls
continuing food Issues), the evldi-nce
of suffering was so great that I was
foreed to recommend Its continuance
The amount of food Issued, however,
was reduced as far as was compatible
with actual need, and $750,000 was ap
propriated for work, that a large num
ber of laborers might be thus em
ployed and effective aid extended. An
aggregate of 100,000 rations dally Is now
being issued, however. Should all ap
plications be considered favorably ihe
Issues would amount to nearly half a
million rations a day at a cost of
"These issues are pauperizing the
people, instilling Into their minds the
Idea that they have only to refuse
to work to be supported by the govern
ment. In the opinion of Governor Al
len, relief supplies should not be sent
to Porto Rico In the future, and sup
plies should be furnished no longer
to the larger .and more prosperous
plsinti-rs but should be given only to
the smaller planters and to these for
only a short time longer."
General Davis reeomnwnds setion ac
cording to these views, and accordingly
the secretary of war has directed him
to cease the distribution of rations In
Porto Rico on July 15.
