"Two fresh comma ndoes are enteritis

say that the Intention of these coruinau

All dispatches arriving in London
agree that the Cape Dutch ahuw no incli
nation to rise, but on tho contrary ap
pear to be tired of the war aud desimna
of peace. Many refuse to supply the
liners with food and are witling to give
information to the British regarding
ltocr movements.
Ill-tails of the tircylingstail affair show
that, while Colvile's column waa pursu
ing the ltocrs, a second force of 4IKI of
the enemy was seen moving toward the
camp where the llritisb transport was
inspanncd. The small British force
made a plucky stand until reinforcement!
arrived with artillery, anil after severe
liuhting the liners were defeated. The
British losses altogether were 0 killed
and 03 wounded and missing.
The Boers are said to have 31 killed.

While the biHly was in the eotliu await

a vase and a piece of ithe glass struck
the supposed corpse ill the forehead,
causing the blood to flow. This aroused

! WASHINGTON, Dec. 2(5.-Tlie fol
lowing notice was posted yesterday b3
the secretary of ugiiculturc:

soils, reports a stiecespful terminatioi
of eXjierimenta conducted in co-operatioi

One third of an acre wns planted tind'i

fiiltivatoil and fermented tinder the direc
lion of M. L. Floyd, tobacco expert of tin
department. The yicldot cured tobacci
was 700 pounds, making an estlniatec
yield for one acre of 2.100 pounds. Thll
lost about 10 per cent in the fermenta
tion.
The crop has just been Bold by L. H
Haas & Co. of Hartord to Mitchelson S

making an isiimated value for one ucri
of 1,421. The cost of production. In
eluding the whole cost of the shade tin
frame for which will last live years wil
not exceed ?.iKt per acre, leaving a lie'
profit of over $!HM) per acre. This was al
average price of 71 cents per pound.
The crop grown In the same field, with
out shade, and fermented in the saint
way, yielded about the same quantit;
and brought 2 rents per pound, or a
the rate of $."SI7.87 per acre. Deductinj
tlie cost of cultivation, fertilization am
treating this would leave a protit ol
ont $300 per acre.
The ordinary crop of the Connecticut
valley brings the tanner about 'JO cents
per pound, or 30u per acre, and, deduct
ing the cost of expenses, leave a protit
of about '!') per acre. The Sumatra to
bacco grown under shade has been sub

business men aud been pronounced en
tircly satisfactory and fully equal to Im
ported Sumatra. These facts taken ll
connection with the award at the I'arit
exposition of two points for the Florida

BKKI.I.N, Dec. L'7 In its yearly finnn

points out that one of the most import
ant facts of thp lust 12 months has licet
the growing iutluence of the luitei!
States upoti the economic situation ol
Europe.
"Iu the first months of the year," says
the writer, "when (termini industricf

was the report from America regarding
the iron market and the fear of lloouius

even when there were no important

bearings upon our business situation and
they thus became very Important fuc

"Wall street quotations frequently be

changes. The entrance of the I'nitec
States Into the ranks of creditor nntioui
signifies a change in the times. Fvei
since the war with Spain, the Cnitee

viatingly a world-policy of world-eon

themselves with the thought that tin
United Stntes will have a very weight

American action in undertaking the Nic

that he would shoot any man who at
tempted to stop him. He was followed

NEW YOKK, Dec. 2&.-Iiradstiist's
review of trade says:
The busim ss year t'.KH) w as not so
good as the optimists had hoped for, but
on the other hand it failed to justify
most of the pessimistic predictions with
which the advent of a year of a presiden
tial election was greeted. In uuiny re
spects, however, and menstued by dif
ferent stnudurds, the closing year of the
century has witnessed iuuny gains uinde
over 1 SJ . though it is probable that the
entire turnover, measured in dollars or il
pridit, was not so great ub Id the luttel
year. If aggregate bank clearings be
taken as a guide then business wai
smaller, and yet if clearings nt the great
speculative center, New York, are de
ducted, an actual gain is shown iu the
rest of the country over li'j:).
Crop yields were rather smaller as a
whole, tint it is unquestionable that the
actual money value of the crops wns far
ill excess of last year. Prices reacted
from their high point, but the dcelint
was small as n rule except iu iron an 1
wool, and tin' break brought iu new con
sumptive Inlying which had been iliseotir
ni:ed by the rapidity of the advance il
l.MO. Mercantile failures were slightly
more numerous and liabilities were
fractionally linger than in lSiHI, but
were far below recent previous years,
and if it be kept in mind that a new
army of 3."i,IKH) men entered business
during the year the small increase ill
failures can be hardly regarded as slg
iiificupt. There were two great indus
trial conflicts dining the year, that ol
building lin mis at Chicago and of coal
miners in Pennsylvania, which tended
in conjunction with election uncertainty
and textile mill shutdowns, to check
trud.' during portions of the year, but
industry otherwise was quite active at
good wages.
New business in lion and steel was
well sustained and quite good for the
period under review.

CUDAHY THREATENED.
Kldnappnrs Ileinand That Iteward Foi
Their Cnpturo lln Withdrawn.
OMAHA, Dee. 31 E. A. Ctnlnhy, the
millionaire packer, has received n second
communication from the men who kid
napped his son. The letter contains a
threat and snys in substance that unless
he withdraws his offer of $2.1.tKK) re
wiinl for the arrest and conviction ol
each of the three bandits they will kid
nnp another of his children.
The letter refers ito the failure of the
police to get anything like a tangibh
clue as to the identity of the kidnappers,
scoffs at the idea of Put Crowe's being
one of t lii-iii. mentions the case with
which the "first job was pulled off," and
concludes by saying that if Mr. Cudiihy
Is as wise as lie showed himself in the
first instance he will comply with the re
quest and withdraw the rewards at once.
This letter is written in pen and ink
on the same kind of yellow paper ar. the
first, and evidently by the same person
It wns found by a servant of the Cudtihy
household early on the morning of Thtirs
day. Dec. 27. Someone called up tin
house by telephone and asked of Mr
Cudnliy was iu. The servant nnsweret':
that he was not. "Well," came the volei
over the telephone, "yon go out in tin
front yard and you'll find a letter then
near the gate. It's addressed to Mr
Cudnhy. See that it is delivered to bin
personally and to no one else."
The servant went out at once ntW
found a letter. It Mas in a plain whit,
envelope !i nd was addressed, "Mr. K. A
Cudnhy, Sr., personal and private." -
Later the letter was given out by Ml
Ciid.iliv and it rends as follows:
"Ctniahy. if you value the Boy's Iif
at the Price of a Bullet, you will with
draw the Howard at once. And let wel
Anotigh nlone, if Yon dont do this wi
will finish tile Job witli a Bullet, If any
man whether Oilty or innocent is evei
arestcd A bulet will close the Boy's
mouth. You will think of this wnruiuii
when It is to late."
Mr. Cudnhy, who was then at his pack
lug house in South Omaha, was sum
inoued home at once. No una wns per
inittcd to see the letter nt first except
Mr. and Mrs. Cudaliy. Mr. Cuduhy'i
conclusion at the time wns to keep iti
contents to himself, as the bandits line
requested, but later he thought bettel
of it, as he believed that in the hands ol
the police it would prove a valuabli
clue, so Saturday nftcriuoii he tooli
Chief Donahue into his confidence.
They held a consultation at the chief i
ofllcT, which lasted nearly three hours
The chief was seen afterwards, but re
fused to disclose the nature of the sub
ject discussed. Mr. Cudnhy soys he has
not withdrawn the reward nor will he d(
so. The reward offered stands as or
iginally announced.
