1 ANGUS AND ROBEBTSON. THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA. Tits seewnd volume of tba offleial "History of the War In South Africa, ISM-lMtt. com-1 piled by Major-Oeneral Sir Frederick Maurice (Huret and Blackett), covers the Interesting period from the relief of Klmberley to the relief of Ladyamlih, which Includaa. of aonne.

the surrender of Cronje, the occupation of Bloemfonteio, and tba capture and evacuation of Iploa Kop. The siarratlve la Illustrated by over 40 maps and three freehand a ketches, which are bound in a separate volume, and which, whilst they are necessary to the study of the various positions from a military point of view, are invaluable to tha layman who wants to know more about the Us of the country than waa generally known In those stirring days, when the whole world wss1 eagerly watching for newa of developmenta In South Africa. As regards the general pur pose of the work. Sir Frederick Maurice Is eager to have It known that, whilst tbe His tory Is undoubtedly official. In that It la com plied by Street Ion of his Majeatya Govern ment.

It Is not "sub-edited" In the Interests Of the departments concerned. We may rea sonably Infer that a work edited by a mill tary officer, with the assistance of a staff of offloera, baa a natural, If unconscious, bias towards tha military rather than the civilian point of view; but It Is equally reasonable for us to believe General Maurice when be declares: "We have held no brief for anyone, and no department or office baa asked us to modify ens word In their own Interest." care has Indeed been taken to use no expressions or phrases that might needlessly give offence to former foes who aro now fellow-anbects, but careful readers will note that no attempt has been mads to hide the shortcomings of officers, the defects of departments, or the occasional rebukes administered by military authorities to subordinates In high position. Possibly (he most remarkable thing In the early part of this second volume Is Lord Kitchener's failure at Paardeberg. Tbe in disposition of Lord Roberts and hla conse quent absence from the soene left Lord Kitchener la command en February 17. 1900, when Oouje had been brought, to bay; but.

unfortunately for him, his right to command was challenged by three of tbe divisional com mands rs by Kelly-Kenny, Colvile, and French. As chief of the staff he was obeyed by his seniors In rank, because be was the Field-Marshal's mouthpiece, but Lord Roberts bad to pour oil upon the troubled waters when Kitchener was tp give orders on bis own acJ count. To this trouble another was added. It was necessary for him to attack, seeing that relnforosments were coming as fast ss they oould to Cronje, and the main for a successful stuck was unity of action. This necessity, however, Lord Kitchener oould not command, and for reasons which General Maurice explains: Uaitr emld eat arivm trr mum YrtrhctinF tha brain of the man himself with every put of the g'tat hwdy wfaieb he had to direct, or, rather, to la spire.

Mr. Arthur Pollard when boys who needed any cars caioe He waa now ao engrossed with the prepara-tlona for the term which waa to begin tomorrow that for aome while the footsteps overhead did not attract bla attention. When he did hear them he just lifted his bead, list-eoed for a moment or two, lit bis pipe, and went on with bis work. But the Bounds continued.

Baekwarde ftnd forwards from the fireplace to the door, the loot a it-pa came and went without haste and without cessation; stealthily regular; Inhumanly light. Their very monotony helped them to pass as unnoticed aa the ticking of a clock. Mr. pollard continued the preparation of his claaawork for a full hour, and only when tbe dusk was falling, and It was becoming difficult for blm to sea what waa writing, did he lean back in his chair and stretch his arms above his head with a algh of relief. Tften once more he became aware of the footstep overhead.

He rose and rang the bell. "Who la that walking up and dewn tha drawing-room, Evans" he asked of tho butler. The butler threw back his bead and listened. "I don't know, air," he replied. 'Those footsteps have been Bounding like that for more than an hour." "For more than ao hour?" Evans repeated.

"Then I'm afraid, air. li the new young gentleman from India." Arthur Pollard started. "Has be been waiting up there alone all this time?" he exclaimed. "Why In the world wasn't I told?" "You were told, air," aald Evans, firmly but respectfully. "I came Into tbe study here and told you, and you answered, 'All right, but I bad my doubts, sir, whether you really beard or not." Mr.

Pollard hardly waited for the end of tbe explanation. He hurried out of the room, and aprang up the stairs. He had arranged pur- ins young mnce to come to the house a day before term began. He was likely to aby. 111 at ease, and homesick, among no many- strange faces and unfamiliar ways.

Moreover, Mr. Pollard wit bed to become better acquainted with the boy than would be easily possible once the term wss In full awing. For he was something more of an experl- meni man tbe ordinary Indian Princeling w. uuuoi iiiumD OK (UO viceroy and tho Indian Council. This boy came or toe ngnting stock In tbe north.

To mm tramping about a strange drawing- room aione for over an hour was not thai -w poasiDie introduction to English ways and English life. Mr. Pollard opened the door and aaw a slim, tall boy, with hla handa behind a a oaci ana ois eyea flxed on the floor, walk alg up and down tn the gloom. (To be continued.) DRAUGHTS.

IN AMERICAN PRISONS.

"Tbe Turn of tho Balsnce," by Brand Whit- lock (Tho Bobbs-Merrlll Company), affords tbe moot startling side-light on American lite in oertaln spheres that has been publiebed since Mr. Upton Sinclair enlightened us ou ths methods whereby Chicago tinned meats earn their fame. In thla book wa have tho llme-llght thrown on tho police of tha United Sutea, and we are ahown how tha foroca of the law are used to crush tho eitlxens of the great Republic The author of the book (copy of which come, to ua from Messrs. George Robertson and Co.) makea the mil- take, from the artistic point of view, of orowdiog hla canvas with ploturoo 6f which he oannot dispose. He brings In people who Sit across the scones, diverting attention from the main and he Is at pains to suggest possibilities which come to nothing.

If there hsd been halt tha people and half the technicalities, the story would have been alt tha stronger. As It Is, the reader la ao pusxled by thieves' argot that ha Is tempted to thrown down the book In despair; and that would be much to hla loss. Or false issues are raised, and the reader la practically In vlted to expect groat things of the sugges tlons made about this or that personage who Irvnm. l-fl- 1. -w appears altogether before tho story reache ltd sanr.

He Is set to work, and ho refuses to aynraavsiu ail a tUB, svuu IUK VJlea, UUICIetlS Interested in exploiting his and other forced labour for their own benefit. He Is brought beforo a prison court, which Is absolutely Il legal, but which exists, and he Is sentenced by this Court to punishment At Drat tt waa "bread and water." Thla had not the desired effect, and "the paddle" was ordered: When Ooart had adionrned the took Arabia Intn a small room near by. Acroea one end of this room waa a huge bathtub of wood. Thla and all the utan. af)a ef torture, which Is a kind of fieadiih ingenuity (.1 oconomy were concentrated In it, were Water-worn and white.

On the floor at the baae of the tub were tn.ii ttoclca. In theae, when he had been irtripped risked, perhaps for additional ahame, Archle'a ankles were clamped. Then he wu forced to bend forward over the bathtub, and waa held than hp fntarda, while Hall (the deputy warden of the treo, who had pre aiiM aver tne court) atooa oy irnoKintr. a Burly i4frro, Jim, a convict with nfirlleari una rlvlleiie anions; others beat him on the bare akin with a mddle of aahwood that had been waked la hot water: and dipped la white sand. The callousness of tbla recital makes the outrage aeem all the mors monstrous, and this apparent aloofneaa Is one of the moat noticeable features of the story.

We learn later how Arohle on the vary day of his release, after serving aa unjust sentence, Is arrested by tbe police "on suspicion' and how a few days later be Is hounded down on a charge of murder, of which be could not possibly have been guilty. Brought to bay, be kills the detective Kouka, who haa been the cause of bia downfall, and he la tried on thla charge, with the other brought In sideways as a sort of make-weight. He is convicted, and senteneed to death. Then follows the aeries of motions tor arrest of Judgment which so disastrously mark the course of American criminal law procedure. He Is buoyed up with hopea of reprieve; he la cast down again, until at last he finds him self In the fatal And at the bottom of this sordid but ghastly tragedy lies th corruption of the American Judicial system.

Magistrates convict, prejudiced by Unworthy Influence; Jailers torture In defiance of all law; Judges are too lasy to consider evidence even when human life is at stake, or they wilfully wrest Justice In tha interests of per- sons who can pay them, or who will- pay them, or who have paid them. If the half of what Mr. Brand Whltloek tells us tn "The Turn of the Balance" la true, the Great He-publis, the Home of tba Free, the Abode of "Liberty," Is a good place to live out of, unless one happen to be a millionaire, and thua In tbe position of being able to buy ia much Justice as one wanta. NOTES. Messrs.

Angus and Robertson forward a oopy of "Murlhlku and the South ern Islands," by Robert ht'Nab. To persons. wyho are unfortunate enough to live outside New Zealand the name of the book eonveye nothing, and the name of the author conveys little more. But If these elKumatanees ahould prevent them from studying this book It would be unfortunate for them, For Mr, M'Nab Is a man who knows his subject thoroughly, and who la able to present it tavonrably. Hit book is Indeed a valuable addition to the world's knowledge of New Zealand, and it contains some details of Cook's work of exploration which aro not generally known, of the making of books about Australian convicts there is no end.

Mr. William Hay the author of "Horrldge of Reality Swamp" (Unwin's Colonial Library) must not flatter himself with tbe notion that the field Is exhausted. He might have thus congratulated himself If he bad happened to hit upon aome new theme. Here, however, wa have all the stock material the virtuous person who la ready to sacrifice himself for the common good, the free pardon which Is fluctuating between Downing-street and "Manilla." tho sufferings meanwhile of the unfortunate oon-vlct, hla desperate love-albtirs aad their ultimate Bucoeaa. "Horrldge of Reality Swamp" furnishes no exception to tha rule.

Tba hare la vilely used, but he survives through It all, and gets happily married to a lady who waa popularly auppoaed to suffer from the -lack of brains. There are strong eramatlo positions In the story, whloh ought to have bean a tragedy, but which diaappolatlngly becomes a melodrama. Readers of the "Sydney Mall wll be glad to come across another story by Rafael Sabatlnl, th author of "Tbe Trampling of the Lilies." which appeared la aortal form in that Journal The new story, however, will hardly support lha reader's natural expectations, it tells ef Intrigues la a my; Meal city la Italy hundred of yeara ago, what time a Borgia was Pope' of Rome, and his stn, Caesar, was demoralising Italy by his vitality, litre Is a love-story, but this la hardly brisk or Inspiriting enough to stimulate the Jaded fanolea of to-dav. 1 'The Man Trim Oordie's River, or Where Men are Made, by Donald Maclean (Hoddr and Stovgatea), la a well-lntetsttoned attempt at the Australian novel, TJn fortunately, the author's hand la rather heavy, and the person, whoa ks) goakwi talk UI ialst themselves to theology, or to eublecta.

Mary Magdalene's Choir School, Paddlagtoa. London. Thla waa In tha early aeveatlea, whea k. was toaor eololat at that church, the organist el which (Richard Redhead) was famous as tha com poser of tha melody to "Rock of Ages." Mans field was tha original representative In any oountry of tba Major-Oeneral In "Tha Pirates of at Ita first trial performanoo at Paignton (December 20, 1179); he then toured aa Sir Joseph Porter, with D'Oyley Carte oompany, and about two years later he played many mlaor part. In London.

In bla -early days the actor waa Intimately known to Mr. Allan Hamilton, aa that Australian manager was then representing D'Oyley Carte on tour, and by a coincidence Mr. Hamilton wa. manager at the Standard Theatre, New Tork, when Mansfield made his dsbut (September 29, 1882) aa Dromes In "Les Mantesux Nolrs." The new-oomer quarrelled a few months later with Mlaa Lenoir (afterwards Mra. Carte), and with Alfred Collier, the conductor, aa to the tempo of a song at rehearsal, and thla rupture waa the foundation of hla fortune.

A famous actor of the day happened Just then to de cline the part of Baron Chevrtal 1b "A Paris ian Romance," and Manafleld took tt up, aad made an Immense hit with It early tn 1823. During that year Mr. Hamilton formed a syn dicate, which engaged Manafl.ld at 100 a week for a tour (with the asms pleoe) that lasted 40 weeks. In 1887 Richard Mausneld played a aeaaoa at tha Lyceum, London, under Irving, when hla appearances In the dual role of "Dr. Jekyll aad Mr.

Hyde" made a great sensation. He remained In London nearly two years, making a anccesa at the Globe tn i magnlJleeBt revival of "King Rlehard nL' Since 189. the actor haa atayed In New Tork, and tha diversity of hla talents may be Ima gined from tbe fact that he starred tn such different characters and pieces aa "Master and Man," "Bean Brummel," "Nero," "Shy. lock," "Cyrano do Bergerac, "Henry "Monsieur Beancalre," "Brutus," and last year In Henrlk Ibsen's fantastic, poetto drama "Peer Gynt." The deceased artist la quoted aa "tha greatest living exponent of Bhake sperlan and olaaalo plays la the United States," and la always referred to aa "an American actor." This faot helpa to Illustrate the truth of William Winter's Inter esting aasertloB la "Shadows of the Stage1 that "among those actors who have exercised special lnfluonea upon tho American stage since 1760 scarcely more than a acoro could be named who were born la America." On July 9 Oaea Marab gave a vocal recital at tba Bechateln Hall, London, at which the assisting artists were Edouard de Reaske, the great operatio basso, and Mr. Boris Hambourg, the 'cellist.

The affair waa extensively ad vertised, aad the press notices, headed in many esses "A New Soprano," and in others "An Australian Soprano," were marked by glowing oology. Few people here were aware of the Identity of tbe alnger, who turns out to be Miss May M'Camley, a dramatlo soprano with a big votes remembered by connoisseurs as tho show pupil at Mr. Wilfred Burns-Walker's studio. It wvl be alx yeara ago next Wed nesday Blnoe Miss M'Camley made her debut at the Y.M.OA. Hall In "The Suicide's Aria' and other great operatio pieces.

She sailed for Europe In July, 1202. Her father being aa old commander In the Federal-Houldor Steamship Company, th. Houlder family for warded ber lateralis ia many ways, and she ultimately entered the riew vocal school directed by Jean and Edouard de Reaske in Paris. Tho prestige of their namo and Influence has evidently launohed her with ai amount of newspaper space not often devoted to an unknown debutante. A dosen Loadon preaa cuttings have been forwarded, one of which opens: "A new star of uncommon lustre burst upon th.

singing world last night at the Bechstein Hall." Another remarks: "Osca Marah la endowed with a voice at great power, sweetness, and exceptional range a brilliant soprano with all tbe richness of a contralto In her lower notes." Miss Marab sang an exceptionally formidable programme of grand arias from "Aide," "L'AMealae," "La Glo conda" (Sulclde'a Aria), "Leroux," "Le Nil," and (with M. Edouard Reaske) the tremendous dust (83 pages long) for Marcel and Valentine from the third act of "Les Huguenots." The "Dally Telegraph," In a favourable notice tn which there la much careful criticism, calls Miss Marab a messo-aoprano. She will shortly appear la grand opera, ber decided predilections for whleh date from her student days with Mr. Burns-Walker. In Melbourne Mr.

Owing to the serious Indisposition of Mr. Bland Holt from lafinenaa, Mr. George Rlanolit waa aent for to roanms his old part of "Jsaon" In "Ths Bondman" at the Theatre Royal.

But It did not need that movement to explain to tho Colonel the perplexing problem of her fears. He understood now. The Llnforths belonged to the Road. The Road had slain bar husband. No wonder ahe lived In terror lest It should claim her And apparently It did claim him.

It Is called "Mualc and Light and Other Ver ses," and It la not only published by the author, Mr, Brazier, but waa "set up" and printed by him and his friends on his own "venerable hand-prees," and bound by their own handa, Tbe reasons which prompted this literary Invasion of the Industrial world are not set. forth at Urge, and It would 111 become the general publlo to Inquire more deeply Into the matter.

But It must be gald at once that the issue Justifies the "Musis aad Light' has a graceful figure to present to the world. The volume Is well bound, and well printed; there 1 a freedom front typographical errors which la remarkable In tha cirouhutoncee, and the reproductions from famous pictures in various Australian art galleries are eioellent We have dwelt so long on the mode of presentation for the reaaon that this seemed to the author to be of very great Importance. Lovers ef poetry, however, and of good versa are seldom endowed with the power to ap predate tho mechanical means by which these are presented to the view. They would love great poetry tn the vilest manmwrlpt, Just aa they would loathe bad verae meandering through the most beautiful type In the costliest of bindings. This of MT.

Sometimes it worse, writ-tea round notable pictures, and at other Usms the verae bag been written beforehand, with the pictures brought la aa llluatrationa. The author has to a oertaln extent the mastery of certain forma of verse; he can give ono aonneta or rondeaus or lyifee In apple-pie order.
