But when he landed in Cape Town it remained to be seen whether he possessed that high gift of a general—"to see the other side of a hill," as Grant put it, and know as if by intuition what what the enemy would do and think. The world was not long left in doubt. Close upon thedisasterous, the terrible tale as it seemed then, of Spion Kop and Vaal Kraut*, came the news of the gathering oi a new army at Modder river, of that brilliant advance to relieve Kimberly, of the resolution that never flinched at the loss of the famous convoy, and last and greatest of all of the enveloping of Cronje. Paardeberg was the really decisive battle of the war; in the hour when the white flag went up over Cronje's laager tiie British Empire passed from the twilight of deleat to the full, glorious day ol victory. It is sufficient praise, then, to say of our Commander-in-Chief, that he proved himself a consummate strategist and tactician. In the long series of marches from Paardeberg to Bloemfontein, from Bloemfontein to Kroonstad, from Kronnstad to Pre toria, (rom Pretoria to Koomati- poorl, where he was present, his combinations were as near perfection as are possible in war. He never suffered a real reverse; where he was in person battalions did BOt walk Into traps; or batteries suffer annihilation. GERMANY THE FOE Significant Remark to the Russian Troops.

I am satisfied to make a fair profit out of the deal and I shall dp all possible to avoid causing serious trouble to those who sold short. In fact I let some go Ihe other day in order to save a few threatened failures." Nelson, Oct. 10.—The case of Henley vs. Reco Mining company, which was set down yesterday for trial at the assizes will be one of the most interesting actions ever tried in this district says the Tribune. The suit arises out ot a poker game in which J. M. Harris, presi- Jvrit ot the Reco, was fleeced to a finish by Lew Houck, one of the cleverest card sharpers who ever came west. The case is robbed of some interest by the fact that Houck is dead. It is asserted that lie worked the "Montana sleeve" game at Sandon, and in the approaching trial tbe defence will produce the evidence of the tailor who made the sleeve. Houck's ability to palm cards i.s evidenced by the fact that Hartis had no suspicion he was getting the double cross until some time later when he learned of ^Houck's identity. In the meantime he settled his debt to the sharper in Reco shares. Houck sold the shares and ihe purchaser is bringing the action to compel the Reco people to honor :he transfer. The story of the game at Sandon is worth telling. A Spokane business man had visited the Slocan metropolis and played poker for high stakes. He lost, and J. M. Harris got the big end of the game. When the Spokane man arrived he secured a tip on Lew Houck, and put up a deal with tbe famous sharp to secure revenge on Harris. They went to Sandon and worked the job smoothly. Harris lost $1600 in cash and several I. O. U.'s at one •.ilting, and between $2500 and S;,oo in eash and a block of Reco stock in another. Then the visitors pulled out, and when Harris became informed of the proposition he liad gone against a notice wat posteil repudiating the stock certificates, Shot by IMI.take.

South .tiiiiiin Situation Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 12.— V. Looter Wessels, special commissioner of the South African Republic to the United States yesterday received a letter from Secretary J>e Bruyan, of the Boer envoys, now in Holland, containing the first reliable and definite information of the plans of ex President Kruger that hasbeen made public. The letter states that ex-President Kruger will leave Delagoa bay on the Netherlands warship Gelderland in a few days, He will be taken to Holland where the envoys are awaiting him. In regard to the intimation in British newspapers that English warships might be sent in pursuit, Mr. Wessels says that any such action by Cireat Britain would be accepted by the Netherlands as a direct declaration or war and the little Dutch nation would act accordingly. Ex-President Kruger bears a commission from the Hoer republic, but exactly what it is, not even the envoys of the Boers know. They suppose, however, that it will endeavor to secure intervention by one or all of the European powers to the end that the individuality of the republics shall not be annihilated. Mr. Wessels stated that the reports of large numbers of Boers immigrating to America were unfounded. He said : "You need not be surprised if there is a rebellion of the whole of South Africa before the year is out. The only reason the Cape Colonists did not join us at the outset was because they had no arms and neither Ihey nor we expected war and were imprepared."
