Reitz Interviewed.

I have returned here, wirea the Daily 7ehgraph correspondent froaa Ijoreiszo MUircjues, after a somewhat | thrilling expprience. My interview with Mr Reitz was toriei hut animated, he being in a harry to catch a train to return to Machadodorp with other members of the Executive. I have ascertained tbat the State Secretary of the ex-South African Republic did not wish tesee me, and was angry and much surprised at my being able to penetrate into the heart of the aa yet nnoonquered part of the Traasvaal, and even to the seat of its so-called Government without being challenged mud geat back.

"No use, no use," Mr Reitz quickly And vehemently retorted, "you have come hare to talk to us about the pros pect! of peace; so Consul Potts' letter only now received informs as, hat President Kruger cannot see you on a matter He wishes me to state, and by stating it to you he only repeats what he has said over and over again to others, that the South African Jtta publio shall continue to fight for its independence, even although 500 burg hers are left alive, and then the struggle will j?o on until we are ail exterminated.

I wekf el if that was to be accepted as the fin*l answer to any question of unconditional surrender.

"Certainly it is," came the reply like » rocket from its tube, "fell that to jour journal, and through it the world, that the South African Republic shall fight to the bitter end. What do you take hi for ? We are lighting for ear right*, oar independence, and we mean to continue until death if need be. Good-bye," he taid, shaking my hand CO dially.

Presideot Kruger is strong-willed, and stiil all powerful, despite the rumours to the contrary. He looks well, and walks with a sprightly and firm step. T found Mr Reitz as of old, crafty and foxey. He vai excessively d^ iaohslrative, gfSticulated wildly; and spoke as if he wished to overawe me by bis mannerism. He is a dreamer of unrealised dreams, of high sanguine and sentimental temperament, Kru ger dancesto Reitz's playing, but both have a firm hold or the minor indivi duals, such as generals and Government officials, who, combined succeed in ruling their wore ignorant compatriots by an influence subtle enough for their purpose to keep tight the bands of liowiy disorganising discipline.

German Air Ship.

SUCCESSFUL TRIAL.

After several minor experiments, Count Zeppelin's navigable balloon has made a trial trip of 85 miles, from Manzeli, a spot on Lake Constancy to Immenstadt on July 2. Those taking part in the trip were Oonnt Zeppelin, Baron Conrad Bassus, Herr Eugene Wolf, Engineer Burr, and Mechanical Engineer Gross The trial took place in a wind with a velocity of abcut 25ft per second. At a height of some 1,260 ft a distance of five and a quarter miles was covered in 17£ minute*. The apparatus for as cending and side steering answered perfectly, until towards the end ©f the trial the guide rope got twisted round the side steering and other gear, and consequently failed to act. As it had become dark the trip was brought to a cloßf, the ship was anchored to the staging, and hauled back to the shed. Count Zeppelin, the inventor, is a German officer who for 30 years has given hie time and means to the per fecting of an aerial machine. The German Emperor is much interested iv the experiment According to the Daily Mail, the Zeppelin air thip ia a monument to the energy and perseverance of its inven tor, .Nearly £100,000 has been spent upon it,,the money having been raised by means of a limited liability com pany, the shares being from £10 to £50 each. In appearance the airship suggests a colossal cigar. It is 420 feet long and pointed at both ends The framework of this huge cylinder consists of bands of aluminium, twenty fo»r in number, somewhat resembling the segno ents of a monstrous insect, Sixteen horizontal ribs divide the interior into Kevsnteen compartments, each of which contains a smt»H gas balloon, made of oiled cotton, and rendered airtight by a, patent process. Each balloon ia famished with a safety valve, which is shut by a spring, and worked bf ropes running through tabes down the sides of the balloon. Externally the airship is covered j with a protective surface, partly of pegamoid linen and partly of white silk, which has the advantage of protecting the gas balloons from the effects of the sun. The air- ' thip has a capacity of nearly 400,000 square feet. Fastened to the body of the airship are two steering apparati, one in front and the other in the rear at the side. Below the balloon, and •bout 100 ft from either end, ar* two aluminium platforms, each bearing a Daimler benzine motor of 16 horse power, which furnish the motive force. The motors weigh 8121b each, and each has four cyclinders. The propel lers have each four . blades,, and are made of aluminium. The very greatest care has been taken with the trans mission of power, aod motors and propellers were put through severe tests. For many months this wonder ful machine was housed in a large shed at Marizell, where it rested on a raft compes-d of 44 pontoons. The steering of the airship is carried out by means of wooden frames 13ft square, placed horizoaUliy and vertically, and moved by a screw worked from the platform. The balloon was built under the auspices of the Stuttgart Society for the Promotion of Ballooning, the metal work being supplied by a firm of Westphalian steel founders.

Victoria Street, Petone, Nov. 22, 'P9. To Proprietors, Piaatekoa Remedies. Dear Sirs.—-For over three yeara I bay« suffered from Hydatlds ai;d Knlargpmtnt of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to tho Wellington Hospital, and after osv- ful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time was very k>w, my liver b)ing swollen to such a.n extent that the doctor outlined it on th« skin with a pencil. T remained in the Hospital six month?!, mosb of the time onfined to my bed, and al fhough every attention was bestowed upon me by the doefcora and ot hers, I lef6 that institu'ioH very lib'lo improved in health. However, 1 reßomed my usual occupation at the loc^l Gasworks, bat shortly after was compelled to )»y up again, thi'3 time with Jaundice in addition to my old complaint;. You can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. The feeling used to be of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations In the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals. No medicine I tried did me any permanent good, until I used yoor wondetful PLANTEKOA. This medicine seemed to attack the disease almost at < nee, and alter giving it a fair trial, It I 1 as fulfilled my highest expecta tions, ihe pain at the stomach is gone, my liver has resumed it** natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and my skin is now quite clear. My appetite is splendid, and I can eat and Bleep and work now With pleasure and comfort. I might also add to this note that while vsiag Plantekoa, we gave some to oar little girl, who had the chicken pox very badly. In con jane tion with Plantekoa Ointment, a cure was soon bronght about. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter. (Signed) Stewart Dttndas Goedon.
