BRITISH ARMY IS MAK?
ING EXTENSIVE PUR?
CHASES.
Kansas City, Mo, Dee 23 ? Captain
Heygete, of (he British army, is pur
ohtsiog 50,000 oavalry bones end
moles for the British army in South
Afriea
He oame bare more tbao a year ago
to buy horses sod mules, bat was
ordered home a short lime ego Flow
ever, the unexpected renewal of
hostilities has made the porehaso of
more horses aod moles oeoessary.
As fast aa the aoiuials are iospeeted
aod bought tbey will be seot to Nea
Orleans aod shipped to Capo To wo,
Dorhsm aod New Luodoo on British
transports, some of which are oow on
their way to the United 8tatos
One ebip load of the aoimals will be
taken to Sooth Afrioa by Lieut David
Mobertv, leaving New Orleans soon
sfter Jan 1st. Lieut Moberiy said :
?'By the time the boraea aod toulea are
lauded in South Afrioa tbey oost the
British goverameot $360 a bead That
is a larpe prioe for an animal wbiob
wHI be fit for serviee ooly six weeks.
Most of the animals die beoeuse of the
ebaogo in olimate. Tbey must erosa
the equator io goiog to South Afrioa
aod the beat of the tropios kills them
rapidly. The average death rate on
shipboard is 82 to tbo thousand. Forty
days after a borao is purobased io
Kansas City it is landed io South
Afriea. So great is the demand for
horses at tbo front that it is impossible
to givo tbem tbe needed rest after
laodmg before puttiug thorn into
servioe, with tbo result that tbuy soon
die.
"Since tbo begiooiog of tho Boer
war Eoglaod bas purebaaed over 100.?
000 head of borees aod mules io tbe
Uoited States It required 65 ships to
carry theo? from New Orlears to 8r>uth

be kept very busy from now oarrytog

A auit involving aeveral millions of
dollars, the value of the telegraph
lines along the route of the Great
Northern Railway, from St Paol to
the Pacific coaat, waa decided late
tbia afternoon by Judge Loobren in
tbe United Statea District Court in
favor of tbe defendant, tbe Western
Union Telegrspb Company Its
importance, however, wss not nlone
in tbe amount of money involved,
for it waa the general understanding
that should the railway oompany
have won all tbe great railway sys?
tem of the country- would, at tbe
expirotion of their contracts with the
Western Union Telegraph Company
have claimed the ownership of the
telegraph lines along their right of
wsy, and either have operated tbem
iodependly or have formed a con
eolidation, which would have been a
strong competitor in the telegraphic
field
