is possibly the correct policy, but its
erect will. in all likelihood precipitate
an open alliance of all the Cape Dutch
With the Beers. In that case the sooner
the home authorities mobilize and dis
patch further reinforcements the bet
ter 1T will be for our hold on South
Africa.
All are reported we'll from Kimber-
ley, Mafekipg and Rhodesia, but with
the exception of these small CLEANS of
light the whole situation is much more
serious than it has been since the Boz
ers first crossed the borders.'',
The Westminster Gazette in study
of the situation reviews the British
governments policy, and even holds
out little hope of peace after the war.
1t says:
Rhodes former policy of working
with the Dutch was what might be
termed the liberal imperialist' policy,
but when Rhodes lost patience when
the Jameson raid failed it became obvi-
Gus that the colonial office had to all
intents and purposes adopted Rhodes
new views.
The Dutch on their side became sus-
picious. The Transvaal in particular
hardened it's heart against the uitland-
ers and devoted itself to arming in de-
Tense of its independence. For three
years we let these grievances accumu-
late and armaments continue, when
wisdom should surely have suggested
that these grievances should be taken
in detail.
Every effort was made to remove
suspicion and check the militarism of
the Transvaal. AT the end we emerged
with the view that the Dutch were our
natural enemies, whose armaments
We're intended, not, as seemed naturally
probable. to secure them against as
saults on their independence. but to de-
stroy the British power in South AT
rica
ITO this view Chamberlain, Sir AL
fred Milner, and more tardily the whole
tory party, were converted. Hence the
conclusion that war was inevitable,
that the franchise issue and negotia-
tions We're unimportant.
This view holds out little hope of a
permanent peace after the war

dream to A. j Foust, field foreman in

it to the oil company. Last week a fine

DEWEY ESCAPES A CROWD.
Walk Down Fifth Avenue. New
York, Interrupted by His Ad-

mlrers.
New York, Nov Admiral Dewey
was almost mobbed by his admirers
yesterday. The admiral and Mrs Mil
dred Hazen. TO whom he is 10 be mar
ried, started from the Cambridge in the
morning about $3.50 O'Clock and walked
down Fifth avenue to Twenty-sixth
street. They paused to view the tri-
unpflal arch which was erected in the
admirai's honor and it was While he
was explaining some of the allegorieal
features of the arch to Mrs. Hazen that
ne was recognized.
1t was a youth who was selling pho
tographs of the arch who was the first
to Identify the admiral. The clamor he
made over the discovery quickly drew .
crowd Although appearing TO pay no
attention TO the multitude that almost
surrounded them, Admiral Dewey and
Mrs. Hazen began 10 walk at a rapid
pace down Fifth avenue, The crowd
was constantly Increasing in size, and
finally in order TO escape the mob the
admiral and his fiancee turned toward
Broadway and entered store on the
corner.
The crowd awaited in Broadway for
the couple to reappear, but Admiral
Dewey escaped a further demonstration
by resort to strategy Making his way
through the store, he passed through a
side door, accompanied by Mrs. Hazen.
They retraced their way back to Fifth
avenue and hailing a passing cab We're
driven back to the Cambridge.

OPINIONS OF EXPERTS.
Situation III South Africa as Seen by
Military Correanondenfs

Military Correspondents.
London, Nov. THE military corre-
spondent of the Globe, writing on the
military situation today, says: Inter
est In the situation at Ladysmith is
Still kept at the highest point The fact
that the British force there now is COM
pletely isolated will not tend to de-
crease it, but save for the fact that
news can only come to hand now by
means of the pigeon post or dispatch
riders, and that trains have ceased
running, there is no material difference
in the situation.
1T might be argued that the cessa-
ton of trains is an important factor in,
such cases, but unless the organization
of commissariat and ordnance depart
ments has been criminally defective
Ladysmith should long ago have been
put in a position to hold out against
investment for a considerable period.
The arrival of long range quick fir
ing guns. accomplished just in the nick
of time, must have tended to show the
Beers that Ladysmith could not fall an
easy prey to them.
While the moral and material effects
Of shelling the Free State camp at Bes-
also. will show that Gen. Whites gar
rison was forced to accept isolation, it
is still able to strike hard, and that its
cavalry is exceptionally effective.
1T is of course a matter of regret
that it should have been found needful
to evacuate Colenso, but there are no
indications in the official report that
the withdrawal has been to any great
distance. 1t may be that the defending
forces have only been withdrawn to
more defensible position on the south
ern bank, or else the flanking move
ment of the Beers through Zululand
and the Umvoti country has become so
pronounced as to necessitate concen-
tration on Pietermaritzburg itself
That the position is regarded as
serious is clear from the fact that the
cruisers are being hurried to the Cape
station.
meanwhile the situation is becoming
complicated by the natural unrest
among the Basutos, for it appears in
creasingly unlikely that we shall be
able to restrain them from action.
''At last, too, the Free State Beers
have taken heart of grace and have be-
gun the invasion of the Orange river
line of Cape Colony. Here also the poll
icy of Withdrawing before the enemy's
advance has been adopted.
.'It appears as II Gen. Butler intends
to allow the invaders to debouch

fore attacking them strateglcally. It

The President Votes.

Canton, o., Nov. 7.-McKinley cast
his ballot just as the noon hour struck.
His ballot was numbered 191, precinct
b. He was only moment in the poll
ing booth. When his train arrived a
large crowd of citizens and personal
friends were at the depot to meet him
and lusty cheering greeted him as he
alighted and entered a carriage. With
Mrs. Mckinley he drove to the resi-
dence of his sister, Mrs. Barber, and
then walked seven blocks to the polls
to cast his ballot. Respecting the pres
ident's desire for simplicity in exercis-
ing the right of franchise, the Canton
ians organized no demonstration.
