KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Dec. 24,-Cap tain Heygate of the British army is pur chasing 50,000 cavalry horses and mule: for the British army in South Africa. H< came here more than a year ago to buj horses and mules, but was ordered homt a short time ago. But the unexpected renewal of hostilities has made the pur chase of more horses and mules neces sary. As fast as the animals are inspect ed and bought they will lie sent to New Orleans and shipped to ('ape Town, Dur ban and New London on British trans ports, some of which are now on theii way to the United States. One sliiploao of the animals will be taken to Soutl Africa by Lieutenant David Moberly leaving New Orleans soon after January Lieutenant Moberly said: "By the time the horses and mules an landed in South Africa they cost the British government !f;W!0 a head. That i. a large price for an animal which will l>( fit for service only six weeks. Most 01 the animals die because of the change ii climate. They must cross the equator ii going to South Africa, and the torrid heal of the tropics kills them rapidly. The average death rate on shipboard is 31! ti the 1,000. Forty days nfter a horse it purchased in Kansas City it is landed it South Africa. So great is the demand for horses at the front that it is impossi ble to give them the needed rest aftei landing before putting them into service Consequently they goto the front in fl weakened condition, and, not getting » sufficient amount of food, they soon die Since the beginning of the Boer war Eng land has purchased over 100.000 head ol horses and mules in the United States It required 65 ships to carry them from New Orleans to South Africa. Govern ment transports will be kept very busj from now on carrying the horses which England will need in South Africa and which have been ordered purchased it the United States. Baden-Powell now has 25,000 mounted police, and it is pro posed to mount 50,000 of the imperial in fantry. England has discovered that hei soldiers must be mounte>d to be able tc cope with the Boer, who gets over the country with alarming rapidity." Recrulta Wanted From Canada. OTTAWA, Dec. 25. —The colonial of fice is anxious to get as many Canadians as possible to join Baden-Powell's Trans vaal mounted police.

Vast As Are the Financial Re sources of the Insurgents They Will Not .'jl Triumph. THE PEOPLE ARE AROUSED. Senator-elect Urury, of Lniernr,HoiT Knows What It Is to Feel the Scorn of Republicans After Violating a l'ledire to Act With the Regular Party Organisation on the United States Senatorshlp. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Dec. 25.—Half a mil lion dollars has already been spent by insurgents of Pennsylvania to prevent the re-election of Col. M. S. Quay to the United States senate and to get control of the Republican organization of Penn sylvania. As much more would be spent If assurance could be given that enough votes could be gotten In the legislature to defeat the Beaver states man. Desperate men have been involved in the campaign against Col. Quay, and they have resorted to desperate measures to accomplish their ends. Scandalous stories are now afloat as to what they will endeavor to do when members of the legislature reach Har risburg before the Republican caucus shall be assembled. Bribery dnd in timidation have been resorted to in the past in this hypocritical campaign, that has prostituted the name of "re form" in associating it with their ne farious work. The friends of Col. Quay are pre pared to pay liberal rewards for infor mation leading to the arrest and con viction of any one involved in the work of corrupting members of the legisla ture to have them desert their party and co-operate with the insurgents and their Democratic allies. Scores of detectives will be on hand at Harrisburg to co-operate with the leaders of the regular Republican or ganization to block the work of insur gent bribers. While recognizing the character of some of the men engaged in the con spiracy to overthrow the Republican organization and the fact that fabulou3 sums of money are at the command of the coterie of millionaires, who repre sent the financial strength of the op position to Col. Quay, the regular Re publicans do not believe that the ma jority which Col. Quay now has can be bought or stolen from him. Col. Quay has a host of stnunch friends and supporters in every county in the state, and many of them are in fluential In the Republican organiza tion in their respective localities. They are In touch with the people und are familiar with popular sentiment. While the so-called Insurgents have been growing weaker ever since the election, the regulars and all tff Col. Quay's friends have reason to be more hope ful and confident of victory. As the day approaches when mem bers of the legislature elected as Re publicans will be called upon to take sides, to line up either with the Repub lican party or with the enemies of that party, they are becoming more and more Impressed with the fact that there is a future in politics and that a man cannot ally himself with the enemies of his party, those who would destroy its organization and strengthen the De mocracy, without blasting the pros pects of himself and of his family. Political perfidy leaves a mark upon the record of a man which years fre quently cannot efface. Stalwart Repub lican sentiment Is now manifesting It self through the length and breadth of this grand old commonwealth, and a fresh triumph of Republican princi ples and of the Republicuu organlza- > tlon is near at hand. INSURGENT HYPOCRISY. The case of Senator William Drury, of Luzerue, would seem to be a warn ing to men who would betray the Re publican organization after having been elected through Its agency. Drury was recently heralded as an accession to the Insurgent forces, despite the fact that he had given his word that be would go Into the Republican caucus on the United States senatorshlp and support the nominee of that caucus.

KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS. Since Drury lined up with the insur gents he has been denounced by fel low Republicans throughout his coun ty, and many former supporters now refuse to have anything to do with him. He is ignored by citizens of his town and was recently notified that his pres ence wa&. not desired at a dinner to which he had been invited. H. F. W. Wheaton, chairman of the Republican committee of Luzerne county, is out in a letter in which he states that Drury had pledged him self togo into the regular Republican caucus and vote for the nominee of that caucus for United States senator. Continuing, Chairman Wheaton says in his letter: "That statement was made in Hazle ton, in the ofllce of Hon. C. AV. Kline, to William Straw, Hon. C. W. Kline, George S. Ferris and myself. "It was made shortly before the primary elections, and in direct re sponse to questions asked by Mr. Kline. Mr. Ferris and I had gone to Senator Kline's office to talk with him in Mr. Ffcrris' interest, and found Mr. Straw with him. While we were there Mr. Drury came in with Mr. George Maue, who introduced him to Mr. Straw and Senator Kline. Maue then left, and, almost immediately. Senator Kline asked Mr. Drury what his position would be as to going into the caucus and being bound by it. Mr. Drury promptly and positively said that he would go into the caucus and would vote for the nominee of the caucus. He voluntarily said, further, that he was a Republican, and believed in organi zation, and that he would not be an insurgent, or would not act with in surgents. "I did not know that Mr. Drury was coming there that day, and I do not believe that Mr. Ferris knew it, nor have I any reason to believe that Sen ator Kline or Mr. Straw knew it. Mr. Drury was electioneering, and he made the statements with the undoubted purpose of securing the support of Senator Kline. THAT SECRET PLEDGE. 'T never asked Mr. Drury a ques tion on the subject, and never sought a pledge of any kind from him. I did not doubt that Mr. Drury would do ■ what he said he would to Senator Kline In my presence until about three or four weeks before election. AT THAT TIME IT CAME TO BE CUR RENTLY REPORTED, I BELIEVE ON GOOD AUTHORITY.THAT WILL- ! IAM DRURY HAD RECEIVED FROM THE ANTI-QUAY COMMITTEE IN j PHILADELPHIA THE SUM OF FIF TEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR USE IN HIS CAMPAIGN, AND THAT I HE HAD GIVEN TO MR. LACIAR A WRITTEN PLEDGE THAT HE (DRU-! RY) WOULD NOT GO INTO THE CAUCUS. "At the meeting in Mr. Athertpn's office, referred to in your aditorial, I stated to Mr. Laclar that it was claimed \ that he had Mr. Drury's written pledge 1 not togo into the caucus, and while I relieved him from answering whether he did or did not have it, he did not deny It. "IF REFORM IN REPUBLICAN POLITICS IN THIS STATE CONSISTS IN MORTGAGING CANDIDATES, THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF SE-, CRET WRITTEN PLEDGES, AND, THEN SENDING THE.M FORTH TO I 'GOLD BRICK' THE VOTERS. THEN, REFORM METHODS ARE QUITE AS BAD AS THE WORST METHODS THAT THE REFORMERS (IN MOST INSTANCES FALSELY) ATTRIB UTE TO THE MACHINE." Itolea Diamond Returned.

MADISON, Wis., July 13,1897. In conducting our Dairy School, we have had occasion to use the various sizes of Improved U. S. Separators for dairy instruction during several winters past. Our student* have always been pleased with the operation of these Separators, and we find that they skim the milk very clean indeed from fat, and that they are generally very satisfactory. W. A. HENRY, Dean College of Agriculture. Cornell University Experiment Station. ITHACA, N. Y.. November 15, ISO 7. We have used the U. S.

VVING, Prof. Dairy Husbandry. Massachusetts Agricultural College. 9H |K AMHERST, MASS., JuIy 7, 18Q7. We regard the Improved United States Separator as one of the verv best all round machines. In cleanness of skimming it surpassed all the others. It compares favorably with the rest in capacity. Our man calls it the smoothest running machine we have, although it has been in use nearly three vears—a good comment on its wearing qualities. P. S. COOLKY, Prof, of Ag't. Michigan Experiment Station. AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, MICH., Jan. 57,1897. Yotir No. 5 Separator was received, set up, and has been operated daily since the 4th of January. Each of our dairy boys has now had a turn at it, setting it I up, running it,_ washing it, and testing the "skim-milk. They all like the machine, on account of its easy running and simplicity. We are running through milk to 24 hours old, warmed to over 80 and usually about 90 degrees. The per cent, of fat in the skim-milk, so far as reported, will not reach on the average a tenth of a per cent., and often Is too small to read, in the skim-milk bottle. We are pleased with the machine in every possible way, as far as we have been able to observe it in a month's use. CLINTON 1).
