from William Whitley, one of the best
known of the Vancouver contingent:
"Bloemfonteln, Capital Orange Free
State, March 22, 1900- 1 received your
letter and was very glad to hear from you.
We have had It pretty hard lately, with
lots of hard marching, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty ana twenty-three miles a day
Many of the men were falling out thick.
We had no shoe# and It was pretty tough
on all of us. We had only half rations,
three biscuits a day. but lots of meat, We
had no tobacco to smoke. I cues you
heard about the fight we had; It was a
terror for a while. I was on one of the
Maalm guns. We got right among them
before we knew It, and lay for three hours
bafore we could get out. Men were falling
all around us, but luck was with me that
dajr. I lay on the ground with my head
In the sand We had been taken In too
close, but were soon moved out to a safer
place.
"The Boers got up In trees a.nd fired at
lie all. If they had been good shots they
would have killed us all. It was a grand
day that old Cronja surrendered to the
Canadians. We were a lot of wild men
He aald we were the best shots he had
men yet. There.ls good news going around
about our going home In ten days' tlm-

ENGLAND'S GRAVE PROBLEM.
COSTLY AND PERHAPS DISASTROUS
WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Ex-Secretary of State Foster, After
Carrfnl Study of Military and
Commercial Condltlona. Thinks
Situation of Momentous Import.
NEW YORK. May 4.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: That dis
aster threatens Great Britain, es a result
of the war In the Transvaal. Is the belief
of John W. Foster, of Ohio, former secre
tary of state.
MT. Foster has followed the military
operations In Sx,uth Africa, making a close
study of them, and at the same time giv
ing keen scrutiny to affairs In Europe. To
a reporter, Mr. Footer said:
"It Is much to be feared that England
Is engaged in a protracted and, In the end.
ar alarmingly costly enterprise, In h°r
armed contention with the Boers.
"It Is to be anticipated that in the end,
through the weight of numbers and su
perior resources, England will win. but
that will by no means end the struggle
Ai the present rate progress Is not only
•lew, but every day's dewy must increase
the difficulties of the situation from a
military point of view and the same ma>
he said with Tesp«ct to a solution by
diplomacy.
"It has been the history of all such
struggles, and England has bean no excep
tion, that the disturbance of commercial
relations and r.ther questions, more or less
Involved very soon make nations native.
There might be no desire tn interfere, or
general principles, but the influence of the
financial, industrial and commercial inter
ests often compel governments to act
from economical considerations.
"No one can tell what is going on at
thin very moment, among the maritime and
military powers of Kurope. At any time
there might he a surprise. They surely
rannot he looking on. simply as Indifferent
spectators csf a possibly difficult lrternn
tlonal problem.
"The transportation of the largest army
England has ever had. In a single theater
of wnrllk» operations, more than half
the distance between fhe two poles of the
earth is, In Itself. an expensive undertak
ing and a very difficult one. Rut this Is
the leapt e'ement of consideration. The
supply and maintenance of such a large
force In the field, over «/**> miles away
from home. In a region difficult of accesa
and with most Inadequate m"""« of trans
portation. Is a problem to occupy mature
military minds.
"Then there Is the element of waste
and destruction Incident to an army In
tTie field and in action. This necessitate*
constant replenishment, all of which, by
an Increasing ratio, adds to cost As a
military enterprise the end Is evidently not
In sight.
"But. even If the fighting were ended,
there would lie a discontented people to
keep In subjection which would require an
expensive military establishment.
"The experience of the war, thus far.
hap very effectually established tne pres
tige of the Hoers as fighters They inav
be able to continue. If thev do. fora few
months. oth»r developments are not in
probable. England, net perhaps exhaust
ed, but embarrassed by protracted de
mands upon her fighting material in men.

thousands of mile* away, might find It dlf
flcult to head off foreign Interference by

In the first stage* having passed, it Is dif
ficult to see how It can come In now. with

way la not now In sight:

BIG FUNERAL TRAIN STARTS
HAS ON BOARD VICTIMS OK TUB
ICOPIBtD DISASTER,
One of the Miners Who Escaped Un
hurt From the Explosion and En-
KMFd In Rescue Works Gives
Details of Work I'nder Ground.
SALT LAKE. May 4,-The greatest fu
neral train In the history of Weftera
America started oh Its sad journey from
Soofleld today. The train had upon it
the remains of at>out thirty-five or more
of the victims of the Winter Quarters
disaster. Accompanying the bodies were
many relatives, who are bowed down
with the severity of the blow that they
have so suddenly sustained.
About 1 o'clock this afternoon the body
of young Langstaff was brought out of
No. L It was found with four others In
a part of the, mine known aa Pike's
Peak.
A Miner's Story of the Rescue.
One of the miners who was In the mine
ait the time of the explosion and who was
one of the first of the rescuers who went
in to reoover the bodies, tells an interest
ing story. He was In No. 1, In the first
raise, when the explosion occurred, but
so far away from It that the sound did
not rearsh him. He noticed a movement
In the air, but thought It the result of
a cave and worked on for a quarter of
an hour, when his miner's ln.«tlnet told
Mm that something was wrong, and he
came on down to the main entrance.
A door had been fitted In here to keep
the current of good air from going above
and to direct It into the main workings,
where It would meet the damp and either
weaken It very much or drive It back.
This door was guarded on the other side.
Passing on to the mouth of the tunnel
this miner, with others, joined Superin
tendent T. J. Parmeley and went to No.
4, where the greatest danger existed.
Outside of the mine those working hrfd
all been Injured, so the party was small.
"Going In," said the minor, "we passed
a numUT of dead, but of course our ob
ject was to find If any were alive tart.
I simply stopi<ed to see if these men were
dead and passed in. We only found
three alive and two of them have sliue
died. No. 4 was no blocked that progress
was slow and very dangerous, and wo
had to carry the men out on stretchers,
aa the cars could not be used. A good
many In No, 4 wore liadly bruised and
mutilated.
"When a man was caught by the full
force of the explosion ne was hurled
against Ihe wall or floor with the same
efTect that would follow the throwing
of a piece of dough against the wall
After working a while in No. 4 we wont
to No. 1. where nearly all the men who
died from the afterdamp were asphyx
iated.
"A great many people have already
awked If the men who were killed from
the damp suffered much. I can say that
they did not. and know that to t>e the
case. because I have gone through the
experience to the stime of unconscious
ness during the po-ft two lays. Many of
us In the rescue parties were overcome
hv the damp and were carried back into
the purer ;tir by our companions. This
damp oon'taJnfl carbon dloxid, and Is very
pol.«onoua A whiff of't almost paralyzes
a man, and a good breath of It renders
him unconscious. Then he falls as If
aaleep and dies, unless Instantly carried
Into the purer air. What struggle* take
j>la"e after that first breath are the
struggles that nature puts forth auto
matically. I have seen our men fall and
struggle, but they know nothing of It.
"doing along in the workings we would
hear one of our party commence to ory
out and waver. We knew at once he
had the damp and were generally to him
before he fell.
"9o fur we have not lo*t a man of the
rencuers, but when we first oommenced
work. before the ventilation was restored,
It was a desperate irame.
"We found the dead In every conceiv
able attitude. One mm hail filled hla
pliw and sat down to light it. The damp
struck him and he died then and there,
with the tilled pipe In hli» outstretched
hand.
"On a box whore a dead Flnlander was
picked up was his watch. It had stopped
when the explosion occurred and the
hands marked I0:2N o'clock.
"Wo found m«n in groups who had evi
dently sat down to consult. Other groups
had been overtaken as they rushed ahead
of the damp. In these groups the men
wore mostly lying on their liat-ks, but
where the single men were found scat
tered throughout the workings they were
fate downward."

The total amount of the relief so far

Gov. Wells has Issued a proclama
tion to the people of the state of TTtah

Bate delivered a speech In opposition to

It as a flank movement to advance the
spirit of militarism.
Cockrell antagonized vigorously the posi

regard the bill ns a step toward militarism,
