Giove on Saturtiaj inoruittK the con

t the front and at Irame was that tbe
141 to Rl"aifoHtein w aa praci i ally open.
It was cvpeoted, however that the'-e
wtmhl be lighting at Petruebcrs aonth of
Poplar Grove Tlie event proed to le ex
ct!v the revere General TwcVer occu
jHed PetiHslerg without oppoction. while
the parallel column to the oorih appears
to have fought ateadih from Poplar Grove
to Abiaham s Kraal and asvaol Kop. on
Ihe Hue between which poiHis the British
Advance restwl esterdav Thit- is the line
on which reasoning on the basis of m
frmation published week6 ago we have
predicted that the mam Boer nsht in de
fence of Bloemfontein would be made. It
extends from braha:n s Kraal to Klip
J'jh the latter being onlv a few miles
mth of Aasvogel Kop This place is
twentv-five miles from Bloemfontein and
the leading London -writers were this
morning of the opinion that Lord Roberts
would now have no difllcult in pushing
on and occupv ing the Free State capital
We must not forget that a similar view
was entertained three das ago when
the road was reported clear but was not
found so On general principles It would
be safer to expect that a more serious
light than cither that of Paaiileberg or
Poplar Grove will occui immediate! on
the Abraham's Kraal-Aasvogel line, or be
hind it unless the Boers are in such rel
atively small force in the Pree State as to
be incapable of finding an position around
Bloemfontein not certain of being turned
bv the British Of course in the latter
ease the Boers will be unable to do more
than fight rear-guard actions and to hin
der as much as possible Lord Roberts' on
ward march, trusting to make a successful
stand in the Transvaal, or hoping that
European complications ma result in in
tervention and so save them from the ne
tessit of unaualified surrender
Perhaps it would be premature lo in
dulge an idea that the Wkboiu of
Boer resistance is broken, but there are
indications which seem "to point that iaj.
Prom the da General Cronje retreated
from Magarsfonloin to the present time
Irtl Roberts has shown abilit to out
flank hie opponents on everv oscasion, and
It is probably due onlv to the difficult
character of the countr traversed and to
the noeeopar slowness of his movements
tliwt he has not captured a goo J irany
thoueaml more Boers than he did it Koo
doos Rand
If theie is to be a battle this side of
BloowfoHtein it should occur todav or to
meiiow How aerions such on engage
ment might be is impoanible to guess.
That, as we have said, abeuM depend upon
rhe numerical strength of the Boer forces
in tbe Piee State Wjth the generalship
that appears to mark the course of Rob
ert nwl Kltchoncr, the other side h be
ing kept occupied on tbe Orange River and
in Natal As to the former, it is lather
CAufaeiHg to learn that the Boers are still
in control of the Nervals Pont and Coles
berg crossings Why the should not 1 ave
moved northeast before Robeits reached
Pooler Grove is not easy to understand in
the absence of definite information It is
not reasonable to suppose that their gen
erals could have thought themselves
j-trang enough to defeat Clements Gata
ere. and Braban-t and to attack Roberts'
communications, unless upon the theory
that the expected such a general Afnkan
dei rebellion to support them, that it
v-ould turn back tho British army from its
concern movement. As a matter of fact,
If left to their rwn resources, thej will bo
cut off from their bisc at Bloemfontein
and left in the air between two British
forces There is. relcllion in northern
Cape Colcnj to be sure, but it has not
reached piopoitlouh likelj to bo uncon
trollable bj a iigoious and relentless cfil
ccr like Kitchener, and it is -vers apt to
peter out in the face of such Boer reverses
as hac happened of late Already some
of the disaffected Dutch hae submitted
and bin rendered their arms, which is per
haps siginlicunt of an carl collapse of the
reolt.
In Natal Sii Re.Uers Duller seems to be

some signs that he niaj be meielj eugng
ing his cnum on the Natal side enough to
keep hiui in r'ace rest while a column h
waj of Vijlierd shul threaten Newca-tle
and thus mac nn ground south of Laing'o
Nek untenaMt foi the Boers
One or the strong indiiitions that Kru
ger and his people are in desperate circum
stances and air looking for carl defeat in
the absence of intervention is that the,
arc beginning to throw off all pretence of
conducting wai on omlied principles, are
openh using the Hag of truce as a means
to entrap BruMi troops and are icsorting
to cpIosie soft nosed and lit-nosed bul
lets in action These things hae been
chaiged against them Infoie This time
the proof furnished b what Lord Roberts
saw with las own ees at Dreifontein, and
the evidence of captured ammunition, leae
no further room for doubt It is perhaps
time in the opinion of Picsident Kruger,
that the world thould begin to realize the
force of his prupiec that England would
be Mttonous onl at a price that will

The authorities at Harvard have devised
a somewhat fantastical plan of making
histor. All the officers of the universitv,
and a limited number of students, are
asked to keep a dailv journal during the
month of March These journals arc to
be deposited in the college librar, under
seal, and kept in locked chests till 1923
No general use of the records will be per
mitted till P'CO The idea is to secure a
picture of the dailv life of the universitv
at this time The writers of the journals
are requested to be as explicit as possi
ble including details of ptofcssional a"nd
private life which nnv be of interest to
eoming geneiations
This scheme is rather formal, and it
seems as if it would inevitablv tend to
self-const lousness; but the records will be
to a certain extent interesting and valua
ble Everv book lover and historian has
wished tint it weie possible to look into
the past and discover what the everdav
people or a hundred two hundred, three
hundred veaic ago did thought, and said,
and if thev weie leall ver different from
ourelves Owiug to the old-time custom
of keeping journals and writing long let
ters which, on account of their rani,
! -!- ?-piiprallv in c served as family rec
ords we have some foundation for such
conjectures, but not rtarl so much as is
desirable
The material winch the present genera
tion will leave behind it is cntlrcl differ
ent. Most people do not preserve letters;
Indeed, ir thev did the storage room re
quired would be considerable
Those v ho keep diaries arc few, in
deed, and even those letters which are
preserved are apt to be filled, with mat
ters which will throw no light on our civ
ilization should the be read b the his
torians of future ages
It is rather a pity thrt th.s should be
so The art of letter-writing is "ailing
Into disuse, old-fashioned people sa, and
if this is reallv so it is a change
1 to be regretted. Still more deplora-
ble is the fact that journals hac ceased
to be There arc many ways in which
such records may be useful, and if
kept as they should bo they are almost
always Interesting It is unnecessary to
say that they should not be mere escape
ales of scntimentalit, though, after
all, perhaps, it is better for a sentimental
person to confide emotions to dumb paper,
which maj be destroed, than to a live
confidant who is likely to tell tales after
ward But if a journal is made a lively,
well-written, and thoughtful record of
happenings of one's dail life it will cer
tainly be a source or pleasure in after
cars.
Almost any household would find the
famil journal a delightful thing to have
Such a book Is sure to be useful, and is
gencrall amusing . It ought to be a large
blink book, without dates, s0 that theie
need be no space limitations for any one
.lav , and some member of the famil
should mtke a record each da. Tho "va
riations in chirograph and stle would
ma'te such a record all the more enter
taining, and if it is carefully kept, and, as
usuall happens, two or three members of
the famil have some literary abilit, the
book would probably deserve a place in
tcme museum when it Is i hundred ears
old No one can den that it would be fas
cin iting to read the dail bistor of a
Virgtnii famil of the time of Washing
ton, of an Illinois household when the
middle West was m the making, or of a
Southern plantation during the war Our
own time, though it seems matter-of-fact
and uninteresting to the average mind,
will b" as full of fascination to readers of
history a hundred ears hence for time is
a sort of alchemist and changes the com
mon Iron and pebbles of ever da life to
rare treasures in the com se of a century
or two But. leaving the histoiical value
of a famil journal entirely out of the
question, it could not but prove a source
of entertainment and satisfiction to the
vv liters themselves
One of the Boer prisoners taken b the
British troops on Saturdav at asvogel
said that it was believed in the Botr camp
that the siege of Mafeking had been rais
ed But little credence is given to the
statement It is much more probable that
the place has fallen or will fall, as at
latest accounts the bombardment was in
cessant and the bcsiegcis' trenches with
in less than two thousand vards of the
town The capture of Mafeking v.ould
natural! be more than ever an object to
the Boers now It would give them a vic
torv to revive their drooping spiiits. and
a ver important prisoner in the person of
Lord Robert Cecil son or the British
Prime Minister Nothing is heard of the
relief column believed to be working its
v a north from Kimberlev but it might
reach Mafeking in time The case does
not as vet appear hopeless
Although Dr Levds tlie Beer diplomatic
agent in Eurore deuic the report it is
probabl true that President Kruger has
asked the consul-, at Pretoria to request
their governments to intervene in the war
It is equallv probable that he and Presi
dent Stevn have asked for a cessation of
hostilities but on terms totall impossi
ble for the British Gov ei anient to grant
There ma be more in such movements
than annears on the surf ice Thev ma be

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

friends of Governor Tyler are resenting

ample Justification for his course in pres

from the considerable cost his refusal to

would be nearly at an end before Mr.
Epes' successor could bo elected and qual
ified The Republican majority of tho
House is so large that no material inter

PEARY'S GOAL THE POLE.
Ibc Arctic nxplorer to MnUe n Dnnb
Over the lee.
ST JOHN'S, KewfoundlandrMnrch 12.
With the eirl days of this month Lieu
tenant Pearv, if all has gone well with
him since he severed his connection with
civilization last August b sending his de
pot ship Windward home, will be organ
izing his little band of whites and Es
kimo for what his friends believe will
be his last daring attempt to reach the
North Pole.
Tho sun returns to gladden the eye of
the Greenland wayfarer on February 21,
and it is followed by a week or two of vio
lent storms, usuall succeeded by a period
of fine weather.
His intention is to utilize this period for
a land march to Port Conger, and thence 1
after a rest and organization ol nl3 ex
pedition, to push on to Cape Joseph Henry,
and from that, over the unbroken ice floe cf
the Polar Basin to the Pole Itself, if he can
reach there, and if not, to as high a lati
tude as he can make his way.
Prom Cape Sabine, which Is tvvent -three
miles across Smith Sound from Etah,
Peary has cleared a post road, b means of
crowbars, dynamite, and hard work, right
to Tort Conger, following the coast In e
Peary might have remained at Conger all
this winter and thus have escaped all the
hardships incident to a winter march over
such a stretch, but b falling back to Etah
he was able to assume the personal dlrec-
i tlon ot tne preliminary wonc among wie
ratives He had cvcral tons of sin piles
landed from the rjrfa; D.ana last
season and they killed 119 walruses for
him before the Ict for home
All these stores Peary Intends to carr J
across tne Sound this month on tne 1C3 anu
then convey them up to Conger stac b
stage As a provision against possible dis
aster, and to be a last rcort in case of
extremity, he has provided caches of stores
a,re,,,, M s saoinc, u
Icon, Eraser, Shaw, and I
' ,, ' ( ,,.,,.,,. .,
most prominent headlands al
alread at Capes fcabine, Durville, Napo-
Lawrcnce, the
prominent Headlands along tne roate
At Fort Conger, tco, he has three tons of
stores, besides the remainder of the Greel
outfit, and he has also a boat there arel
on at Dunilie
These caches will not be disturbed by
Pear if he can avoid doing so He will
depend for the sustenance of himself and
party as well as of the Eskimo colony
which accompanies him, upon the stores
they bring and upon the musk ox the can
secure along the route That these are
fiirl plentiful is Instanced b tho fact
that lat winter Pear and those with him
secured twent -eight. If the weather fa
vors him Pear should have all his sup
plies stored at Conger b the end of March
and be able to advance into th unknown
in April
Much will depend upon the condition of
the Eskimo dogs and the number of them
available, as last winter a distemper killed
off many and left the remainder unfit for
the work in hand Pearv will make due
allowance fcr uch a contingency as this
and an extra trip or two will not disar
range his plans If he is able to set down
his native allies and all the impedimenta
of the expedition at Conger b the end of
this month he will have done well Then
from among the several families he .ill
eelect ten or twelve whose heads are
strong sturd workmen dog drivers ami
traveling experts, ami with these and all
the -available dogs he will push on to Cape
Jo--ph Hnrv, at the northern extremity
of land so far as is known, in that jection
of the Polar circle, where he will estab
lish an advance basis, set up camps for the
vomen and children and Etore up 'ipplies
for their ue and that of the selected par
t who will make up the personnel of the
Pole attacking expedition
These will consist of 1'ear and his two
assistants Dederick and Henson and ten
picked natives each man driving a team
of eight to twelve dogs the pledges bing
laden with stores for fiftv to lift -five
davs The trip will bo somewhat like that
of Nansen and Joh mnscn- the principle
underlving it that of reaching th Pole
bv sledge travel being the same though
the Norwegians experience has enabled
Pearv to improve upon their plans
That improvement is chief! v found in
the empiovment of the Eskimos The
are the best dog drivers in "the world and
can get almost half as muth more work
out of the animals as could be obtained b
thoe unfamiliar with them The alvan-
tage too is next tounei in tne size oi uie
part Nansen and his companions met
with manv difficulties which the could
not surmount for lack of ph steal sfength
Being but two the were checkmated fr'
queutl where it ould be possible for
Pea- s larger partv to make headway es
peciall as the instinctive ingenuit of the
natives would be available in the latter's
behalf In the multitudinous difficulties
of a trip over the broken floes, piled with
great masses of rafted ice seamed with
giant crevasses and at times presenting
hillocks as dime lit to attack as fortiiin-
tlou the native resources of the Eskimos
will be found valuable in the extreme j
Equal! striking and effective is the ix- ,
plorer s plan for reducing the numbers of
thc rart as the provisions give cut c)u
'caving the camp at Cap" Joeph Henry
ail in the part win negin to eat on on-
sledge the contents of the others leing
kept untouched When that is exhaiu '
all the best dogs in the team will be taken
from it and distributed among the other
relivs nd the Eskimo will be -.tilted
hou.cvanl with enough storco o carr htm
thTe ai d a ccuple of the poores' dogs to
hiul his empt sledge
A second aiedge will then be attacked for
tie crmniissarlat, ind when t is emft
will be adopted nd
Ing advanced as he hopes some hundreds
of miles b this time and sent home his
last Eskimo Pcnr will divide all the re
maining stores among the three sle.lgcs.
and the three xmencans will then grapple
with the final stages of the journe, that
of making a record for the farthest
north " even if uufortunate enough to ba
unable to reach the Pole Troin Cape Jo
seph Henr to the Pole is about 300 miles
The severe affliction of frostbiting which
Pear suflered last winter, and which cost
him seven of his ten toes, besides portions
of his heels, will tell most hardl upon
him depriving him. as it necessarily must
of the activitv in movement formerly
characteristic of his expedition
The next disadvantage is his well-known
disregard of the ordmar precautions
which prudence would suggest in the
launching out of such an expedition
Trusting to Providence, chance or a luck

no matter how small, with insufficient
