the powers of the world will unite to re-
s1st successfully her advance A coali-
tlon will be formed against British dom

our nation. Yet, say we never have got

The foregoing statement was made by
DR.. F. Benjamin Andrews former nresi-

superintendent of the Chicago nub]ic
schools, in his address on ."rhe War in
South Africa at the Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal church last evening.
Ihe occasion was the mems Sunday

his hearers by the declaration that inter-

The Monetary Strjngency.

New York. Dee. 1S-A special to the
Herald from Washington saws. Secre-
tarH Gage viii not discuss the question
OF What further action, If any, he will
take to relieve the monetary strjnpency
The gravity of the situation is thor
oughly appreciated by tie treasury de-
paftment, but just vha. will be done II
is impossible to predict, though i, is
pionable that some measLie of relief will
pe annfded by inr.alslnE the govern
ment deposits in national banks. An
o1fer to purchase another block of gov,
eminent bonds may be considered
though the results of the last offer We're
not encouraging. Officials think that in
a time Of stringency the government
ought not to be expected to offer more
than the market price for its bonds II
IS apparent. however, that if bonds arc
to be bought more must be offered for
them. as under the last offer the gov
eminent, received only 5000 00ii ont of
the S25. .dao.e GOO which Secretary Gage was
willing Ia buy. Treasury officials at
tribute the present stringency largely to
the fact that business is prosperous and
is absorbing large amounts of currency
that in less prosperous times would flow
TO New York and would be available for
loans. II is agreed that If the present
conditions continue New York mus, get
along with a smaller amount OF t.urrenc.
than formerly and business must be ad-
Justed to meet the new conditions.

Boer Preparations.

New York, Dec. 1s.-M. de Long. the
manager of the dynamite factory at
Modderfontein, in the Transvaal has
just returned to France and has been
interviewed by the representatives of
several of the Paris journals. He says:
The British government can have had
no idea Of the vast extent of the prep
afatlons that the Beers have been quietly
making for years with the realizatio
that another struggle with the full force

should the Beers be driven out of Natal,

ever hope to enter the 1'ransvaal and
survive. Since the war began, he says.

stored away has been brought forth. He
asserted that the forts at Pretoria and
johannesburg are as strong as any
IoftfeSSeS in the world and have within
the last month been rendered absolutely
impregnable, while Edelberg alone could
mold it's own with 25 men against 1000
assailants. particularly in the rainy sea-
son, which has just begun. causing 'un-
fordable streams suddenly to spring into
existence. NJ. de Long states that there
are about 5000 well trained German vol

THE EMPIRE IS in DANGER

! London, Dec. 1S.-"Bobs," as Lord Rob-
erts of Kandahar. is Familiarity known, is
a name to conjure with in Great Britain
and that Lord Roberts and Lord Kitch-
ener are considered the right men to
retrieve the disastrous situation in South
Africa is amply evidenced by the more
CHEEKY tone of all war discussion this
morning.
In spite of attempts Of the authorities
to gloss over the supercession of General
Butler. the fact remains that the new
appointments cannot be regarded other
wise than as a penalty for his failure.
A semi officially communicat ton says:
THE disposition to regard the change
as reflection on Butler is entirely err
roneous. AS the forces engaged in South
Africa increase officers of higher rank
are naturally appointed to the supreme
command.
The communication then instances the
successive steps, from General Symons to
Generals White and Butler and now to
General Roberts. In spite of the plaus-
ibilty Of the argument every one recog-
nizes that it is not the whole truth.
Friends of Butler see in it a headlong
pidHtse VI lHe CdUlHel 10 d suspicious panic
and they picture hasty conclaves and the
ministers with blanched faces telegraph
ing to Roberts and Kitchener to come and
save the empire. While perhaps these
are overdraWn, there is no denying that
prodigious eXertion which the govern
ment considers necessary to crush the
two little republics shows that even Sc
date Lord Salisbury sees the extreme
gravity of the present aspect of affairs.
Probably the ministers remembered the
peril which the public seems to have for
gotten OF possible uprising of Kaffrs.

current in this direction which would be
