Having lost bis horse, he, with many others, was sent to Lonrenco Marques by General Botha till he could be again mounted. Tbe Portuguese prevented his return to the field, and he escaped on a German ship. He speaks English with facility and is now presenting the cause of the Boers to the people of the United Stages. He made his first platform appearance the other evening. The commandant said to a represent ative of the Washington Star In reply to questions: “Judging from reports received only through English sources, the Boers have great cause to congratulate them selves and to expect eventual victory. We do not expect to drive the British into tbe sea, but we do expect to enjoy the re-establishment of our rep u b lic s and the reoecupation of our homes. At present our families are scattered fay aud wide, thousands having been driv en from their homes aud left to wander in search of food and shelter. But this Inhuman treatment which they suffer Is evidently stirring u p sympathetic as sistance in Cape Colony and'bringing hundreds of men every day to their re lief. In following Chamberlain’s policy England is weakening herself in the field. “Yes, certainly, I was in battle at Colesburg, Arundel, on Modder river and Sand river, where the Irish-Amer- ican brigade under Colonel Blake did splendid service in blowing up the great Virginia bridge under fire from the enemy. “We sometimes carry along as many prisoners as we have fighting men, as at Nooitgedaeht, where we had some 2,000 prisoners. We release privates, because they are such a great incum brance to us, but of course we deprive them of their rifles and ammunition. Noncommissioned officers and privates cannot be compelled to give parole un der tbe laws of war. Our humane method, however, makes the British soldiers more willing to surrender to us. At the place above mentioned the prisoners refused to return to their camp when released by us and had to be compelled to go back. General Ben VHjoen, commanding, had armed troops to drive them away from our camp and toward that of the British. “As to whether Paul Kruger will vis it this country I do not know. I do not see any use In it. He may put the Eu ropean powers ablaze, but South Afri ca will probably work out its own sal vation. I shall try to explain definitely in my lectures how the war originated ‘and who was ta blame and why.” PREHISTORIC RACE TRACES. f t e K u k a h l e D i i ( * T t r l e i o t P r o <«•■- o r E a n t d Im X i c k i g u , Professor Crlspo Emanuel of the Royal College of Learning, Madrid, is reputed to have made some remarka ble discoveries In “the thumb,” says a Saginaw (Mich.) dispatch to the Chi cago Timgp-Herald.

INDIdO T O BE DISPLACED. G e r m a n C h e m ist* T h r e a t e n to D e s t r o y a B r i t i s h C o l o n i a l la d m s t r jr . British manufacturers have not thought it worth while to study the progressive chemistry of aniline or naphthol dyes, says a London corre spondent to the Paris Messenger. They have been content to leave the field open to Germany, and the result is now obvious. Time was when British ani line dyes commanded the market of the world. It Is impossible to under stand why that market was ever lost. Nothing but indifference can account for it, and then we have to explain the indifference, which is impossible. At any rate, tbe market has gone, and there is n o t an aniline or naphthol dye used at the present day which is not produced in Germany. The industry of the manufacture of British dyes is dead, and the industry in British India of the growth of indigo will follow it. Behar and other prov inces will feel it, and it will mean the ruin of innumerable natives who have lived year after year on the produce of indigo. Dyeing with indi&o, how ever, is at best a clumsy and prolong ed process. It means immersions in various compounds, according to the material of the fabric to b e dyed. Like lndigotlne, the new German dye provides for a single bath. So confi dent are the manufacturers of the suc cess of their product that a considera ble? sum has been spent on the neces sary productive plant, and the new year will Witness the advent of the new dye. Save as a specialty, indigo will,.not last beyond a year or two, and then another British Industry will have succumbed to German competi tion. AMONG THE RAILROADS. - ■» Interview W ith Driver of the Calais-Paris Express. THE NEW THIRD BAIL SYSTEM. PrtvTKte T r i a l o n I k e B a l t t s s a r e « * i O h io of th o M u r p h y Invention—Jtte- M arkskle Feature of the Doric* E x p l a i n e d b y t b e I n r e n t o r — V * w Railway In India. An English journalist gives the fol lowing account of his interview with the driver of “the fastest train in the world,” the Calais-Paris express, says tbe London correspondent of the New York Sun: “Ninety-seven kilometers (about 60.2 miles) an hour,” said the driver, “is my lowest speed over the 300 kilometers between here (Calais) and Paris. On the level stretch after Boulogne and before Abbeville 1 run generally up to 106 kilometers an hour. M’sieur, ait- ting in the luncheon car, cannot know what such a speed means. On the en gine the vibration is so terrific that I have had a special wooden platform made to prevent the contusions of legs and arms I used to constantly sustain. Every joint in the metals causes the engine to jump, sometimes so much that any one but a locomotive driver would be frightened. You haTe no such speed, on your English railways, I have heard. “There’s only one dangerous spot. Just before going in Boulogne there’s a nasty curve, which sometimes cause* the restaurant car to swing, but the train is so heavy that there is no danger. It is only unpleasant for tbe passengers, who, because the plate* upset, often think that we are about to leave the rails anu take a trip acros* the country. Since the disaster down at Dax the other day, however, the company has given me strictest orders to report any inequality of the line and make any suggestions I wish to secure the most perfect safety. Yes; I could run the whole way into Paris if It were not for water, which I am compelled to take in a t Abbeville. “Cool head? Certainly, m’sieur, but you see, it is habit. I ran the new engine the other day on a trial trip from Calais to Paris with merchandise and got up to 111 kilometers an hour. 1 would have gone quicker, but signals were unfortunately against me. As it is, I am doing the run to Paris daily without varying five minutes in a r rival, but when those new engines are put on the service will be accelerated by fully half an hour—that Is, if your Chatham and southeastern trains keep time. 1 have been told they are very slow—are they, m’sieur?” An invention which it is believed will supplant all previously invented third rail systems and revolutionise railroad traffic was successfully tested; a t Baltimore the other day in the uel of tbe Baltimore and Ohio railrq*a. fc It is the Murphy safety sectional third rail system, the invention of Captain J. McLeod Murphy of Torrington, Conn., says the New York Journal. For the past six months Captain Murphy has been a t work with a force of men, installing the system a t his own risk. The contract was that he was to take it out if it did not prove successful. W. D. Young, chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio, and two assistant engineers of the same com pany, who witnessed the test, were all thoroughly satisfied. The most remarkable feature of Cap tain Murphy's inventioe. is th a t tbe charged sections of the third tali are __ always under the car or motor- a n d Jb front and rear of the car tho third tail may be wa’ked on or handled without the jsJighteft danger. Tbe inr««toc thus explains how tbi« feat Se ac complished: \The motorman opening the con troller to the first notch automatically communicates with the air tank car ried on the locomotive as a storag« reservoir for compressed air, which operates the brakes. Tha cenepaesed air. tank immediately give* tha powei to the air-engines, which in taim oper ates an electric generatsr which gener ates- current sufficient to pick up a switch which charges, tha third rail with current from the power house, This current passes from the switch to the third rail, to the shoe, to the electric generator, which automatically becomes a motor, end through the sub stitution of two valves in the air en gine also becomes a compressor and charges the air tanks from which it originally got its motive power. “Thus at no time during tha opera tion of a car over this system is i t pos sible to have a charged conductor or third rail except when the motatman has opened a controller. Hence, should a person even fall beneath a car and the motorman quickly throw the con troller closed there would not be the slightest danger from injury by elec tricity. There Is no possibility of the third rail In front or rear of the cat while the car is in motion becoming charged. It lies on the ground as harmless, so far as electricity is con cerned, as any car track on any ays tern.” According to ^ Calcutta correspond ent the Shadipalla-Balotra railroad he* ^ been opened for traffic. It is aa ex . tension of the Hal&arobad-ShadlpNr', j f ilne opened In 1886.
