General Lawton's death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No Amer

LONDON, Dec. @,-General Lord
Roberts, WHO Is to have full command
Of the British troops in South Africa
accompanied BY Lady Roberts and their
two daughters, arrived in London this
morning, having Travelled from Dublin
with Mr.. Chamberlain Their depart
ure from Dublin was marked by cheer
Ing crowds, but the general made a
quiet entry into London. After going
70 a private hotel, he spent about an
hour at the war office in consultation
with the Marquis of llansdowne, the
secretary of state for war. Then Gen.
Roberts returned to the task Of pack
ing his effects and interviewing the
officers eslccted for his stanf.
When "Llttle Bob, the beloved OF
Tommy Atkins, received report of the
Associated Press. he was dressed in the
deepes. black. I'M Vivid contrast with
his snow white hair and mOustache.
His dappsr little figure was as straight
us ever. but the eyes that have so often
scanned British victory. were slightly
dlmmed by the grent personal sorrow
that has befallen him. But In spite OF
this and the multitude Of details that
claimed his attention, General Roberts
willingly assented to send through the
Associated Press parting message to
the American people and gave the fol-
lowing statement:
circumstances naturally forbid my
speaking about the campaign ahead Of
me, except to say that have entire
confidence in the British soldier and
that believe the traditions of our

WOOL
Was Not Seriously Afected BY Tight
Money.

|.s.i 1AVuGIs
BOSTON. Dec. 2O.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter win say to-
morrow:
The tlghtness In the money market
has cut short the demand for wool and
as a result the wool market has been
almost llfeleas during the past week.
The tight money market could not
have come at a better time for the
wool trade as their obligations matured
last November, Their wool has been
largely sold and turned into cash and
the members OF the trade are not bor-
rowers to-day. The demand for wool is
now running more to the coarser
grades. Fine woods have reached such
q high point that manufacturers are
trying more and more TO substitute
medium wOols for them. Sales Of the
past week have been made at the top
prices Of the year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 2,9l3,0O0 pounds domestic
and A25, 900 pounds foreign, making n
total OF S,S6S.0O0 against u total of e.
66l, 900 for the previous week and q total
OF 1924, 900 for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since January !, 1892,
amount TO SA4.S35,776 pounds, against
137, $40 pounds last year ut this
time.

no RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Chairman Burton Gives Reasons
Why. He Thinks There VIII be No
Action on New Projects at This

Session.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2O.-
Chairman Burton, OF the river and har.
bOr committee. authorized the follow
ing statement to-day:
There win probably be no river and
harbor bill at the present session. One
strong argument against the bill is the
fact that the engineers force will be
occupied during the coming year with
projects already provided for. In many
cases plans for Improvements are not
even completed. In others advertise
ments for bids have not yet been
made. Another fact OF Importance Is
the increase in the price Of material in
the last year. Some Of the projects
already ordered cannot be completed
for the amount estimated by the engi-
"of course the demands upon the
treasury and the amount OF revenue
are facts to be taken into consldeta-
tion, although do not mean TO say by
that that the river and harboF improve
Inents are less important than others.
II ID OIttS uHGuuHGt N0ANt0tS w N3ees.--A
custom, the bill was passed during the
last session of Congress. recognize,
however. TINT on many accounts II is
preferable that the bill be not consider
ed at this session. There Is so large an
amount of detail, and the settlement OF
disputed questions arising from amends
mcnts Of the senate make II desirable
to have plenty of time. This is hardly
possible during the short session. Also,
there are several projects OF urgent i'm
portance. among them are the improve
nent OF the southwest pass Of the Miss
issippl the deepening Of the Delaware
river below Philadelphia, and the pro-
vidlng Of further facilities In the chan
nels between Lakes Superior and Huron.
The continuing contracts on the MISS
issippi river run out June 3O' 1900,
These are the arguments on both sides,
but as / have said, there viii probably
be no river and hGthOr bill at this ses-
sion.
