those who were best entitled to remain,
including Lord Wolseley, who however,
took the rough handling of the police
good-humoredly. The ladies present suf-
fered much from the crowd, but their pit
eous appeals were unavailing to stem the
crush.
Renewed cheering heralded the Duke OF
Connaughts arrival. Then rousing cheers
momentarily diverted attention from the
hero Of the hour, as the Prince of Wales
appeared and greeted Lord Roberts in the
most cordial manner. The prince anu L4Ie
distinguished general engaged In earnest
conversation, and furnished a striking CEN
ter OF a notable group, which included
no less than five field marshals. Lord
Roberts, who was in morning dress look
ed fit for anything. In spite of his sixty
seven years he was straight and soldierly
and his rugged features. reflected deter
mination. AT the time the train was due
to start the Prince of Wales shook hands
with Lord Roberts and spoke a few words
to the general, of which the phrases
God bless you and Good luck to
you" were caught by those near by. The
prince also said:
Goodbye Bobs, happy Christmas, a
prosperous New Year and every possible
luck In your job

ana excitement, no one heard the sig
nails for the departure, and in consequence
the train was moving while Lord Roberts
was still on the platform with his back

abruptly terminated and he was forced
to make a somewhat undignified scramble
for his seat. AS the general disappeared
in the saloon carriage final lusty cheer
was started, and continued until the train

words, Gen. Butler and Gen. Gatacre are

Moreover, much of the intervening
country is rough, waterless, almost i'm

why the British generals have not been

Like our own Civil war. the war in
South Africa is a campaign of magnifi-
cent distances.
This is something which readers of the
war dispatches do not always compre-
bend. ''Why didn't Gen. Butler go to
the relief of Gen. Gatacre?" was being
asked after the Stormberg rout. And
ROW the question Is, ''Why don't Butler
and Methuen unite their forces?"
The sufficient answer to this is that
Butler and Methuen are about as far
apart as Boston and Chesapeake bay,
with the enemy's country between them.
Butler is on the eastern and Methuen the
western edge of the Orange Free State,
which drops down like great wedge into
upper Cape Colony. Communication be-

CHRISTMAS AT WINDSOR.
Queen VIII Be Cheerful Amid Her
Little Folk.

LONDON, Dec BIN spite Of the deep
anxiety OF. the queen regarding events In
South Africa, she has no intention to
permit Christmas at Windsor to assume
g gloomy aspect. The Duke and Duchess
of Connaught, the MARQUIS Of Lorne and
Princess Louise, and a host Of little folks,
other members of the royal family, and
Canon Duckworth, the queens chaplain,
arrived at Windsor this evening, where
they were met by Princess Henry of
Battenberg, the Duchess, of Albany and
others, who will make up cheerful
party An official of the household said
to a representative of the Associated
Press this evening"
Il have seen merrier times at the cas-
tie, but Christmas cannot be gloomy
where the queen resides, and this will be
no exception to the rule. There is plenty
of good cheer throughout the entire
