either OF the objective points of the first dash Of the
campaign, nor routed captured British army,
they have SO completely invested the British as to
force General Butler to change the plan OF campaign
announced at the outbreak OF the and hurry his
men to the relief of General White as rapidly as
they arrive in Africa
1t Will be remembered that shortly after the open
ing OF hostiities dispatch from London stated that
the troops about to be sent to Africa would not be
landed at Cape Town, nor at Durham, but at Port
Elizabeth, Port Alfred and East London. While no
authority was given for the statement in itself
SO reasonable 1t may be regarded fairly well
founded. 1t was believed at the time that General
White could easily hold his own and Butler expected
to be able to land his army corps at the point from
which he could most easily advance on Pretoria,
organize it there and set forth for the capture of the
Boer capital. That expectation has been disap-
pointed White is so hard pressed that Butler has
had to land his men at Durham and arrange to move
them forward for the relief of Ladysmt1 at once
How large portion of Buffers force will be re
CURED for the purpose OF checking the advance Of
the Beers into Natal cannot be estimated. 1t is
expected, however that twentytree transports with
troops will reach South Africa before the close Of
this week. If White manages during that time to
hold his own is likely comparatively small force
sent to his relief would have the effect OF enabling
him to open his communications with the coast and
the south and thus be virtually safe. Should that be
So Butler could then with the major part of his corps
carry out his original intention of using Port Eliza
beth as base and after resting his troops and
arranging his plan OF march set out in December
with we'll equipped army for the attack Pretoria,
OF the advantages of the route from Port Elizabeth
It has been said that while Durham is nearer to the
seat OF to get from through Natal into the
Iransvaa the British would have to cross the steep
Drakensberg, all the passes OF which are in the hands
OF the Beers and are strongly guarded By the other
route the only serious obstacle in the way OF advance
is the Orange River, and once beyond that the British
would have open plains across which to advance upon
Bloemfontein and Pretoria.
The time is at hand when the questions involved
in the different plans OF campaign will have to be set
tied and it looks if the settlement would not
be left wholly to Butler The Beers may yet force
his hand and compel him TO risk everything Dur
ban and Ladysmh instead of making Christmas
time march OF triumph over the plains Of Orange

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

c ONE time ago directed attention to state
\ ment made by Frank l. Neal of Philadelphia
- before the United States Industrial Commits
sion to the effect that the merchant marine OF the
United States-steam and sail-of 1000 tons gross
register and upward and under twenty years old, fly
ing the American flag and suitable and available for
trans Atlantic trans-Paciic trade, does not ex-
coed total Of 100000 tons gross register.
The statement is so surprising that doubts have
been expressed to its accuracy, and for the pur-
pose of confirming it Mr. Neal has since issued an
elaborate compilation, giving the rig, name, gross
register place and date OF building and port Of regis
try of every American steamer or sailing vessel in
Guided in the terms OF his statement From the lists
given it appears the number of United States vessels
suitable and available for oceanic traffic are 40
steamships with gross register OF 3oo,425 tons; So
ships aggregating II1433 TONS IA banks, with total
OF 1880 tons and 50 schooners, having register of
I15,1oI, making total of 644,82o tons. From that
list however, as Mr. Neal points out, there be
deducted as not intended and in reality unsuitable
for the ransoceanc trade by reason of having been
constructed for coaswise or near-b by commerce. 100
vessels having an aggregate register OF 348644 tons;
leaving as suitable and available for oceanic
traffic only I25 vessels OF gross register OF 2o685
tons
Between the tonnage OF our merchant marine, suit
able and available for transoceanc trade and the for
eign commerce OF the country there is an impressive
contrast. Mr.. Neall says:
Surprising the figures given in my testimony
may have appeared, they are indeed understate-
OF vital facts intimately associated with the con
nued prosperity of the commercial interests OF the
United States The value OF the merchandise ex-
ported by the United States to foreign countries dur
ing the year ending December 81 1893 was, in round
numbers, 81, ooo the value OF imports OF
foreign merchandise during the same period was
roundly stated, $6ooooo,ooo, making the total OF
exports and imports for twelve months upward OF
ST 800, ooo,o oo an aggregate movement OF merchan
disc OF the value OF $I5o,oooooo per month
The aggregate weight of the exports was 100000
tons while the imports for the same period approx
mated 100000 tons, making total OF more than
100000 tons dead weight, 100000 tons a
month To undertake carry such traffic with
such merchant marine as we now possess is much
the same as if a farmer should attempt to take to
market the produce OF a large farm in a wheebarrow
What further argument is required to convince in
tellgent men that the upbuilding OF merchant
marine is one OF the most pressing needs OF the
country?

Christmas week is a poor time to pur-

lier and, besides, you can select from
larger stocks and fresher goods than
at Christmas time after everything
has been picked over.
We have about $50 dolls just arrived,
besides othe. Christmas things, such as
fancy china, silverware, etc. Christ
mas goods are arriving every week.
Come in and look around; it won't put
your eyes out just to see things We
won't chase you out of the store with a
pitchfork or an ak if you don't happen
to buy. We don't getter madden than a
bull in fly time if you ask the price
without buying. We kind o like to
have people come in and cape around
because they always become our GUS
