to the fact that the. distances are

THE enemy'S discipline is improving.
The trenches represent great manual
labor, for which the Beers have keen
dislike, and the way in which thew re-
strained their fire when our troops were
advancing is another proof Of improved

eral times in the meetings of the ses-

highly of it, The present exhibit is
larger and better in almost every re-

display consists Largely of expression

The kindergarten department is rep
resented by constructive work illus
trating the various steps in the pro-
duction Of wheat and corn, and their
commercial and household uses. Wheat
is traced from the time 1t rs planted
until ii is made into bread. The little

The work of the beginners and first

cRITIcIsE THE GOVERNMENT.
London Papers Tell How the War
Should Be Conducted.

London, Dec. 29.-During the contin-
ued lull in the military operations in
South Africa, the papers are filed with
| letters and articles criticizing the gov
eminent and campaign, and suggesting
remedies and improvements, alterations
| in the plans and the like. The Times
complains of needless censorship and
| concealment.' 1t cites the fact that
nothing has yet transpired to show how
General Gatacre came to lose 600 men
| at Stormberg.
The dispatches from the front all rep
resent the Beers as in nervous condi-
| ton and constant dread of the British
advance, but this is probably an exag-
geration.
The Modder River correspondent of
| the Daily Chronicle gives an explana-
ton of a sudden rifle fire inexplicably
opened from the Boer trenches He
saws:
THE Beers have wires stretched
along the entire front OF the trenches
| and connected with lamps. If wire
be touched a lamp is extinguished, thus
giving warning. One night high WIND
extinguished a lamp which resulted In
a false warning. The fire ceased wnen
| the Beers discovered that the alarm
was false" -
correspondent of the Daily News
at Frere Camp announces that a tram
way is being constructed from the ran
way 10 a hin commanding the Boer po-
sition, and that along this the Britlsh
will convey heavy guns.
According to a dispatch from Lady
smith. dated Wednesday, Dec. 20, the
heat then was intense, being 104 de-

The British government now evinces
a. marked change from its attitude in
the early stages of the war, and shows
a disposition to accept assistance from
any quarter. The imperial yeomanry
committee has issued a statement 10
the effect that the government con.
sidez. the formation and dispatcn OF
yeomanry as one of the most pressing
nsads of the situation and has 1nEl-
mated that it is now prepared to ac-
cent from 5000 to 10000 yeomen, IT.
stead of the 5000 originally asked for.
II is expected that the first contingent
of / .O0O Will sail about the middle or
January.
The government has announced that
It will accept the services of a battery
| from the Honorable Artillery corps.
When these services were first offered
they were declined on the ground that
the corps was not affiliated with any
regiment of regulars. 1t will now be
ATTACHED to the city imperial corps.
Lady Chesham and Lady Georgiana
Curzon have issued an appeal for
public funds to establish a field hos
pftal for the yeomanry. -.
1t is now estimated that the war VIII
cost at least s60. 700. 600 (S300, O0Q 0o0),
and it is suggested that the sinking
fund of the national debt should be
suspended for five or six years in order
to defray the cost.

MURDERED IN SAMOA.
Richest British Planter In Islands
Killed BY Natives.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 2S.-Details of
the murder at his Samoan home, Nov.
Is, of Frank Cornwall, the wealthiest
British planter in the Samoan group,
are brought by the Aorangi. He was
murdered while asleep by natives. Hith-
erto foreigners have felt secure in times
of peace, because the Samoans have
looked upon foreigners lives as sacred
and would never approach white men
with deliberate purpose of harming
them, no matter what aggravation
there might have been. But this feel
ing towards foreigners has changed,
and although young Cornwall was gen
orally popular he is only one of the
several prominent foreigners whose
lives have been threatened.
The value ofsminerals exported from
Tasmania during November amounted
to $500 900. one-third more than in the
corresponding month of last year. New
Zealand's export of gold is $4,000, 600
greater than last year. Her premier
says that he is absolutely opposed TO
New Zealand joining the Australian
federation. The New Zealand govern
ment believes all the colonies should
federate for defense and for one or two
other PURPOSES.

BoER POSITION TOO STRONG.

parent supineness of the British COM
manders in preventing the daily
STRENGTHENING and extending of the
Boer positions along the Tugela and
Modder rivers, which are now consio-
cred TO be practically impregnabie,
many experts are coming to the con-
clusion that the British have given up
the idea of carrying these positions by
assault, and will await the transport
with cavalry required to give their
forces the necessary mobility, when
they hope to be in a position to besiege
the Beers in their respective plevnas,
while General Roberts carries out the
original plan of campaign, that of adj
vancing straight north on Bloemfon-
TEN, the other generals detaching suffl-
cient mobile troops to reach their goals
by circuitous routes.

by Lord Curzon. the viceroy, at BAN

proudest title he possessed was that of
being the queens faithful ally, adding
that his purse, his army and his sword
were ever at her disposal. The mahara-
jah of Gwalior has asked permission to
serve on General Roberts staff, and
has offered to send troops, horses and a
transport to South Africa.
The government of France has ap-
pointed Captain Demange military at
