TIME OF ARRIVAL AND CLOSING OF Mi British army under Robertsjand ¢ cor- nered) as was Cronje's 8 army. BRYCE VERSUS BRYCE. The best witness against the ac- cusation ‘of Jamés” Bryce, M. P., that the war is the result of a se- cret leagueé-betweén the British gov- ernment and South African cuapital- ists, is Mr. Bryce himself. In his book ‘Impressions of South Af- rica,” written only a few years ago, he points out that. the ‘English found its destiny on war? But for success in war,they would have lost their existence as nations, Carter-Cotton is trying to smother the party hnes movement and keep himself at the head of an anti-Mar- tin coalition. Cotton has to an- swer for too many of the Semlin government's sins to be a strong leader. Why SmithLeft Town.

After specifying these Eeievancss: he says: “It was these abuses, siueh more than any wish to bring the Trans- vaal under the ‘British flag, or to establish a South African confeder- ation, that disposed-the | Uitlanders to revolt against a Revernment which they dismissed.” The mine owing capitalists, who class, ‘*held aloof from the agita- tion which began in 1892 until the middle of 1895,” according to Mr. Bryce, ‘‘because they did not them- selves care for the tranchise, not meaning to spend their lives in the: Transvaal, and-because they . knew ‘FO ADVERTISERS, New reading matter makes your advertisement attractive.

The capture of the Orange Free capital by the British forces isa fit sequel to the impudent request for peace negotiations made by the.two Boer presidents through President McKinley. The resistance encoun- tered by General French with the vanguard seems to have been only formal and from the conduct of the Free State government in handing over the keys. of the offices to Lord Roberts, it appears that they have ided to tbrow th 1 on the that political disturbances would interfere with the mining industry.” Yet the writer pf these words, more than any other, is responsible for having, by his. mure recent writings, excited sympathy for the Boers in the United States. The American newspapers do not know to what extent Mr. Bryce is influen- ced by party prejudice, nor do they know of his book, and they credit him - with sincerity and freedom ‘from bias in his recent writings. EDITORIA L ‘NOTES, The Finnish delegates have _re- ported in favor of the Red Deer district of Alberta. as suitable for their colony. The Boers are, preparing for.their last stand by taking a census of the mercy of the conquerors. Inthe light ‘of Lord Salisbury's reply to the joint note of the Boer .presidents, one point in Lord Rob- erts’ dispatch is very significant. He speaks of the Free State gov- erament-as ‘‘the late government.” This means that the Orange Free State as an independent power “has already ceased to exist. With its forces scattered or in full retreat, its capital in the hands of the British and its president probably a prison- er in their hands, this is simply'the of an lished fact. Lord Roberts’ task of conquest is only fairly begun, but he has weil prepared the way for its completion. The occupation by his forces of Stormberg, Colesberg, and Burgh- ersdorp, the birthplace § fot Kruger, gives him command of the railroads. , from East London and Port Eliza- beth, as well as the one from Cape Town. How severely the latter, which has hitherto been the only means of reaching the front, has j. been taxed can be judged from the fact that for an army cf 20,000 men the infantry would require 80 trains, the artillery 18 trains and the army service corps, stores, ammunition, field hospitals, &c:, 50 trains... The British troops now: command: Nor- val’s Pont and Bethulie, two. of the crossings of the Orange river and should soon have undisputed con- trol of the rail routes to Bloemfon- tein and Pretoria, at any rate as far north as the former place. Fhe expulsion of the Boer forces from Cape. Colony not only liberates a large-part of the forces of _Gat- acre, Clements and Brabant for op- erations.further north, but, exposes the Boers who have been opposing them to the danger of being caught between their forces and the main who can -be sent out of Jahannesburg. . “The Kentuckians. are not to. be disappointed ofa fight.
