that if there is anything wrong with
it the dealer will know where to inako

British War Office Suppresses Honest
History of Boer War.
London, June 11. England Is not
to know the real truth about the
Boer War. To save the reputations
of certain well-known generals and
officials, the war office has had Col
onel Henderson's unfinished "history
of the Boer War" destroyed. It was
written as the official history by the
greatest English writer on military
subjects since Napier, but its author
died before completing it.
After Colonel Henderson's death
the war office examined his work and
found that it was much too out
spoken about the blunders and graft
that distinguished the campaign. It
has therefore entirely suppressed his
work, and order the compilation of
an entirely new history by a staff of
officers under the direction of Gen
eral Sir Frederick Maurice, who is
perhaps the only military writer who
could adequately fill Colonel Hen
derson's place. But the new official
history will deal gently with the rep
utations of the distinguished muddlers.

Interests friendly to Mr. Harriman
assert a belief that the government
will abandon its case against the so
called Harriman lines. The idea that
Mr. Harriman would be criminally
prosecuted was never very seriously
entertained in financial circles. Mr.
Harriman's friends say that there
has been no basis for such action
and that most of the alleged illegal
acts imputed to him are barred by
the statute of limitations. The stock

canvass of the industry warrants the
statement that the last half of 1907
and the first half of the year 190S
will witness the largest producing
capacity in the history of the United
States and Canada. It is estimated
that new furnace construction will
add at least 2,000,000 tons to the
prospective capacity. Last year the
local output was 25,307,000 tons. A
corresponding stimulus will be given
the coke trade.
