Queens Departure Delayed.

LONDON, December 1.-THE Court
News has issued the following an
nouncement:
"The arrangements made for the
Queens departure from Windsor have
been postponed until after Christmas,
as, owing to the present state of affairs
in South Africa, the Queen is unwill-
ing to be at a great distance from
London"
Not for years before has the Queen
decided to spend Christmas away from
Osborne. Her decision to remain at
Windsor, in touch with the cabinet,
is a measure of the gravity Of the
crisis and of the anxiety Her Majesty
feels for the welfare of her country
She is, nevertheless, in fair health.
Saturday morning she took her usual
drive and just before dinner that even
ing she received Lord Wolseley, who,
with Major Gen. Sir Henry Peter
Ewart, crown equerry to the Queen,
dined at Windsor.
The Queens graceful act in present.
ing a flag to the American hospital
ship Maine is highly appreciated by
her W people, as well as by the
Americans in London, and the morn
ing papers express the hope that the
incident means something more than a
pretty ceremony.
BLACK Week." as last week is now
universally called, has evidently
aroused the government and the war
office to a full sense of their respon-
sibility and the magnitude of the task
before them. The papers unanimously
applaud this awakening, despite the
fact that they recognize that the heroic
measures now decided upon savor
rather of weakness than of strength.
Rumor has it that the question of ex-
pense has really been at the bottom
of the half-hearted measures hitherto
adopted, and it is not unlikely that
Sir Michael-Hickes-Beaeh, chancellor
of the exchequer, and other members
of the cabinet will resign.
1t was high time that something
very energetic was done. The British
losses in killed, wounded, prisoners and
missing throughout the campaign now
represent the enormous total of 1880.
The tragic circumstances of the ap-
pointment of Lord Roberts almost SIM
ultaneously with the announcement
of the death of his promising son ex-
cites the deepest public sympathy.
Lieut.. Roberts was an only son and
had been his fathers aide de camp
since 1895. He served in Waziristan
and in the Chitral and Nile expedi-
tions. Such was his display of gall
lantry on Friday in an attempt to res
cue the guns that he vas recommended
for the Victoria cross.

WHEELING, WA MONDAY. DECEMBER 49, 1899

Indian mutiny gave rise to greater dan
| gers to the empire than that with which
we are now menaced. nor at either OF
those critical periods was Great Brit
ain so isolated politically, or regarded
with such dislike and suspicion a. are
now almost everywhere apparent. I'm
less the calmness which impresses the
foreign observer proceeds only from
apathy or a want of sufficient magma
ton to realize the imminent danger to
the whole fabric Of u empire, the
great efforts now urgently required
will surely be made before it is too late
to retrieve the situation. We are fight
ing not merely for supremacy in South
Africa, but our position as a great
power. We know we have miscalcu-
lated the strength of our foe, and we
are resolved to make that miscalcula-
ton good
The Liberal organs f~oreshadow a SER
ious reckoning for the government
when the time comes.
The Daily Chronicle hints that Gen.
Sir VIM. Butler, who was recalled from
the Cape command because of his Boer
s~ympathies, long ago advised the gov
eminent that the prosecution of Mr..
Chamberlain'5 policy would make
heavy reinforcements for the Cape i'm
perative.
The Daily News says:
"ine governments decision is either
a counsel of panic or the confusion of
utter miscalculation."
Most of the Berlin papers as well as
those throughout the country comment
upon General Buffers defeat in a SER
ious and digniied tone, although with
a considerable ~undercurrent Of salts
faction at England's humiliation all
around. 1t is admitted that Great Brit
ain is now fighting to save her South
African possessions.
The general belief is that Sir Redvers
Butler acted pr~ematurely and under
pressure from the home government.
The official papers take a rather gloomy
view, as if apprehensive of awkward
complications.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, December
12.-The elections in Porto Rico are
progressing slowly. The Republicans
carried Ponce on December 9th by
about LOO majority.
According to the census Of 1897 there
are over $4,000 people in the Ponce
d~ictrict, but of that number only 4,466
are eligible to vote, the right OF suf-
frage being limited to the taxpayers
and professional men, about 4,400 Of
that number going to the polls. The
Republicans claim that San Juan will
give them a tremendous majority and
that the election throughout the island
will result in an overwhelming federal
defeat.
The elections will last for at least two
months more, there being still over forty
five towns to vote The people are look
ing forward anxfousiy TO the action Of Con-
gress on the question of civil government.
Many expect that Porto Rico Wal be inn
mediateIy given a system of government
entirely by the people of the island, while
others take a more conservative view Of
the subject. The Boletin Mercantile. com-
menting on December 9Th on the subject,
says:
THE form Of civil government for Porto
Rico will undoubtedly be the one recon-
mended by President Mckinley in his an
nuai message to Congress, and with the ex-
cepuon of the highest office, the sppointee
for which place is not known yet, the APP
pointments viii be distributed among the
most capable people and from the recon-
m~endations of the President. It Is evident
that he believes that the adoption Of a pru-
dent, cautious and deliberate policy in de-
termining the future government Of the IS
land.
This does not impede but on the On
trary will tend TO encourage the efforts OF
the country toward securing a broader and
more liberal form OF government and Will
accelerate the accomplishments Of tho
desires of the people"

DUBLIN, December 1.-THE an
nouncement that a pro-Boer meeting
would be convened to-day as a protest
against the proposal Of Trinity college
to confer a degree upon Joseph Cham
berlain, led to exciting scenes. A
large force of police was called out and
the troops were held in readiness.
Maud Come, the so-called Irish
Joan of Are" and James Connolly, the
Irish Republican, drove in a wagonette
to the place appointed for the meeting,
which was attended by a large crowd.
Mr.. Connolly tried to speak, but was
prevented by the police. The wagonette
then made a tour of the streets, the
crowd rapidly increasing, cheering for
the Beers, singing, God Save Ire
land" and We'll Hang Joe Chamber
lain on a Sour Apple Tree" and using
disgusting expressions AGAINST the
Queen, the empire and the army.
While passing Dublin Castle, the
occupants of the wagonette waved the
Transvaal flag defiantly, whereupon
the police stopped the vehicle and seiz-
ed the flag.
The wagonette, attended by a large
body of police, who often cleared the
streets, then drove to the rooms of the
Irish Transvaal Committee, where
Michael Davitt and VIM. E. Redmond
were waiting. A meeting of about sixty
persons was held, Messrs. Davitt, Red
mopd and 0Brien speaking in violent
condemnation of the war and of Mr..
Chamberlain, and declaring that the
latter's visit to Ireland at such a mo-
ment was proof of his callous nature.
The speakers urged that, should an OPP
%portunity occur, Dublinites ought to
show their detestation Of the colonial
secretary in unmis taxable fashion.
Mr.. Davitt said: "All Irishmen re-
joice in the triumphs of the Beers. No
power in Europe would now fear Great
Britain, except, perhaps, the Prince Of
Monoca."
Mr.. Redmond said: "Mr. Chamber
lain deserves not doctors, but execu-
TONERS"
Ultimately a resolution. proposed by
Mr.. Davitt, was carried denouncing the
war and calling upon the powers, par
tieularly the United States, to take
steps to insure the independence Of the
boer republic. While Maud Come was
speaking somebody shouted a reference
to the Phoenix Park murders. The
chairman and Mr.. Davitt warmly pro-
tested, however, that no violence should
be shown. The meeting closed amid
tremendous cheers evoked by a rumor
that Ladysmith had fallen.
Maud Come and Mr.. Connolly drove
off with the intention of holding open
air meetings, but the police arrested
Mr.. Connolly.

LONDON, December IS, 4:45 a. NJ
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Charles Warren, COM
manding the Fifth division of the First
army corps, has arrived at Cape Town.
1t is understood that he will proceed
to Port Elizabeth.
No further news has been received
regarding the battle at the Tugela river.
The latest accounts regarding the bat
tie at Magersfontein show that the re-
tirement of the British troops was
executed with the greatest GOODNESS and
order under a. heavy Boer artillery fire
on Tuesday.
Mafeking was safe on December 9Th
and Col. Baden-Powell, the British
commander there, is still actively push
ing out his defenses. At that time the
Beers had offered to exchange Lady
Sarah Wilson, who was captured while
acting as a correspondent for the Lon
don Daily Mail. for Gen. Ben viljoen,
who was captured at Elandslaagte, but
the offer had been declined.
The other beleaguered garrisons and
positions arr still holding out.
1t is said that if the Victoria cross
were to be granted for every act of
conspicuous gallantry on the part of
the British troops. it would be neces-
sary to distribute the decoration by
hundreds.

How 10 Avoid Colds During winter
This idea that many people have,
that winter is an unhcalthful season,
is all wrong. Winter is just as health
full as summer, if people will take care
of themselves. If you want TO go
through the winter without cold, OBJ
serve these few simple rules:
Don't overhead your house, and
don't stop al. ventilation. Sleep in a
cool room, but keep warmly covered.
Always take off your outdoor wraps
when you come in the house, and al
ways put them on when you go out.
And. lastly, just as long ms there is
snowon the ground, don't go out with
out your rubbers. This last rule is the
most important of all, for two colds
out of three come from wet feet
