COMPARISON OF ARMY WORK.
Sa:i! Pot-Intell.grncer.
The British parliament Is about to
make a gran: of lv,ooo to Lord Rob-t-r
for his service in Siuth Africa, and
on account of thoe services he is lulled
in Great Britain as the "Kreates: living
s Idler." His great advantagr seem to
tw that his good work stinL ou: li
such sharp contrast to the blunders of
his predecessors in South Africa :h.v: it
! given !n popular estimation a rt"i:i-
us valu". Ye:, frankly speaking, i: d.'-es
not appear that any of she w irk or tjte
British in South Africa will s:anl com
parison with the work done by Amvi
can genera's and American armies, bvh
in Cuba and !n the Philippines. Th
work of our men has not bj.-n properly
estimated, either at home or ahroiJ. f:r
the paardoxlcal reason that '.t was ne
to cleanly, rapidly and w.'l. Tf in :.:
initial operations, either n iVcja or 'n
the Philippin-.s. there had l.M.n i f-v of
the blunders displayed by 'lie 3:;i:.-h
in South Africa, the suc-cee !i g work
would have been much brig.Ven? 1 in
popular estimation by the contrast.
The work, in fact, was so well dene
that the magnitude of 'he military pr:b-
mt solved has been lost stunt cf, stli
the generals who led our armies ii tvo
received merely perfunc: vy praxis,
rather than the er.thusias ic c-n;omlumi
which have btvn given '0 Jr.".l al Rb
erts. The operations tvhl.'h J'r.r.l
Shafter conducte-d successful w-.r-fully

estimation in this country .-''jft r l.ii k.
considerably of b-ing a h-r. Th- un
broken success f our .irmi'-s !
result in magnifying 'h' sjrve ( nur
own men. but rather to an un i--r--:i-m.iting
of the s:re-g:h aril val'-r f :h
defeated enemy.
Yet our operations in Cuba t'..ne wr
vtrry far from being ins.gnftVa.it a r m
parcd with those. :h- British army it
South Africa. The records of the Spin
,sh forces who wvr- d-f'-ate in Santi
ago will not suffer by com; arisen w.th
any record made by the Bo-r. At Mi?
ersfonteln the British army r-T-a'.-1.
broken and demorillzed, aft-r losses not
n'-arly so severe prop r:i -nat-ly as th-f
American army encounter-1 at Pan
Juan hill. The percentage- of Am-rlcan
loss at El Can-y was wry mu h grea;-r
than Duller had at Colensi, wh-r- his
irmy was checked and dr:v-n bark,
alth the loss of a largo shar'. .,f his ar-
tillery.
Meth
Methuen halted demoralized, an i :
waited for weeks for r-inf orcerr.-ntH. af-
ter louses Insignificant prop Jrionately
beside those which Shafter's army re- !
ceivea, witnout cnecKing me Aincro an
advance. On the other hand, the Span
ish fought on the def-nse fully as well
as did the Boer, and in som- r-prs
much better. The Spanish were no:
driven from a single position without
sustaining a loss out of all proportion
cr ater in actual casualties than any
Uoer force ever sustained in any en
gagement in South Africa. In :he brief
operations around Santljgo the Spanish
lost, in actual killed and wound-d. more
m n than the Bors had loi-u aft'-r the
South African war had b-en prolmgel
for many months. There lias not been
a single battle wag-d in S'ju:h Afrb-a
in which the British met with su. h d
p.iat'.' r.-sistince, suffered such a per
centage of loss, or were compelled to
inflict such sever; loss on the enemy le
fnre he would currend-r or rfivit ;is
Shafter encoutered in every engage
ment preceding the final surr-n l r f
Santiago.
In the Philippines, again, th-- un
broken success of the Atn-iican arms
has tended to destroy tin- !j'i-i"."lve
and prevent the real value of the j r
vkc performed from lie.ng timi-iugliiy

to be solved in the Philippines wre -M iy

in Sau:h Africa. In some respects they
were more difficult In South Africa

lured to a minimum. It w only in

,h
who!" sat" nought :h" old man
was fina.ly i-'.rn-r'-l. and that the hing
ing was to coin" off. Th- I'nlied Slates
supr-me court "n that day denied Nord
stroin's app-al for a dlsiliarg- from
custoly on the gr iuihI that the staU supr-me
court had r-'fus.-d him a review
of his case But the hanging Is now
further off than ever. A d-f' ct has been
dlcovi re 1 In the new hinging law pass
ed by the last b'glsla'.ur", which It Is be
lleved, invalidates It as to ail p"rsons
now undr sentence of d'-ath or who
may be sentenced to death le fore June
14. Nordstrom's plucky attorney will
test this law In the courts before any ex
ecution ran be had.
Nordstrom's case s without parallel
in the L'nlted States. He has been seven
times tried for murder, seven limes
sentenced, s-ven times saved, ml ten
yars In prison during all this time.
That h" Is guilty there Is little doubt,
but he was convicted on circumstantial
evidence, and his fr'(Uen: reprieved are
suo"rh ill un rations of how the law can
be used !n th"Sf days for purposes of
Jugglery.
During th- summer of ISiil Nord
strom was employe I as a laborer on th
William Mason farm, it the summit of
Cedar mountain, ri".ir S-attlc. A dis
till!" 'i rose over wag-s, and Nord
strom, whi-n i's was ended, felt that h"
had got lh" worst of if. H- 'old Mason
that he would g"t even with him. Ma
Son laughed at him. Norlstrom I. ft his
employ. Mw-tlng a neighbor on '.Is way
from the farm, he Bill:
"I'll kill oi l man Mison."
Th neighbor Ih night nothing f It.
Several days later Nordstrom was In Se
attle, w h -re he puichas.-d a Winchester
rifle and Ih-n disappeared. Three nights
later William Mnon was eh it d"ad at
his supper taOl". The mii'il.TT stco-1

Th- "feci is th" same as thn d.scover

The Colorado law, like Ih" Washington
law contained no saving ilaus-, anl Ihe
national court h-ld thit a was an ex
post facto law.
Attorney Lewis will rnak Ih- most of
his point, since, if he wins, It means ihe
final saving of his cll-nt -tin- most tried

Nordstrom Is a mod-l prisoner. He is
never dlslurbed about anything unl-ss
someone mentions in tils presence th"
subject of hanging. Then li,. Is morose.
He is apparently the veiy anxious tu
be free, but greatly d-srous of not be
ing hing-d. S-ven years ago he might
have had his fr loin ,( he had wished
it. Tom Blitnck, i-oiillii' d In the county
