BRITISH ARE ADVANCING.
Relief Column Now Moving in TIL,
Direction OF Ladysmlth.

NcIle1 Column Now Moving in the
Direction OF Ladysmlth
London, Dec. 9.-Such disquiet as was
caused in London by the news that
General Methuens S communications had
been cut at Gras Pan was feeting, for
information reached the war office at
midnight that the British commander
had again been heard from. 1t was all
SO learned that General darlington had
arrived t Modder River to take charge
of the cavalry, presumably taking UP
With him the major portion OF a bri-
gade.
Almost simultaneously came brief
dispatch indicating that the long ex-
pected advance for the relief of Lady
smith had begun. This important
news was contained in an AGENCY tele-
gram from Pretoria saying that an
official report from the Boer head
laager near Ladysmith was to the effect
that the Beers We're advancing on Co.
lenso.
From the dRe of the dispatch cThurs-
day it would appear that the north
ward movement from Frere began on
"Wednesday night.
No confirmation of this is forthcom-
ing. either from the war office or from
newspaper dispatch, but ii is evident IN
reading some of the latter, and par
ticularly u dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph from Frere of Thursdays date.
that the hand OF the censor has been
at work.
Taken in conjunction with the news
from Pretoria that fighting had begun
on the Modder River on the morning of
Wednesday, the news of Methuen's
communication having been cut was
looked upon as rather alarming. 1T was
inferred that it had been found
impossible to keep intact the line of.
communication, which stretches along
the railroad between the Orange River
and the Modder River, matter of fifty
miles. and that parties of Beers had
managed to maintain themselves, even
on the scene of General Methuen's
dearly bought victory
Pessimists regard the isolation of
Methuens none too large force as a
serious matter especially as General.
Gatacre does not seem able to make
much headway from the direction of
Stormberg Junction.
While the Beers. must number quite
$1,000 men, the original force which
fought at Modder River having been
reinforced from Kimberley, Jacobsdahl
and Bloemfontein, 1t must not be for
gotten that Merhuen, too, on his part.
has been reinforced. Although many
regiments have lost heavily, he must
command now nearly 1900 men.
On the Natal side there is good reason
to believe that an action Is imminent.
The difficult work of bridging the Tu-
gela river in the face of the enemy
must be the first step. The Beers
around Ladysmith are reported to be
preparing strong positions. in which
heavy guns are being mounted behind
masonry. On Thursday heavy firing
was heard from Frere camp, in the di-
rection of the beleaguered town. This
was probably Boer assault and 1t is
to be presumed that 1t was repulsed.
Little fear, In fact. Is felt for the
safety Of the camp. where, after pro-
longed siege, the soldiers hold their
athletic sports as usual and officers in
dulgs In their love for polo. Nor does

A sourHRoN FOR EXPANSION.
Governor Jones of Arkansas says
s'Keep;t the Philippines

s.Keepsthe philippines
Little Rock Ark, Dec. 9.-Great in
terest is shown in the expansion senti-
ments expressed at the railway BAN
Iquet by Governor Daniel w. Jones, in
view of the fact that he has hitherto
been considered an opponent of that
policy. In order that his views may
be more thoroughly understood. the
following signed statement was OBJ
tanned from him yesterday:
II have been investigating the qucs-
tion for my own satisfaction and have
formed Very decided views and pro-
pose to stand by them. l consider the
acquisitios of the Philippine islands to
be most fortunate, for the reason that
1T furnishes US a permanent foothold
near the Asiatic coast, which Will pro-
tect our commerce with Asia. | be-
lieve that the only salvation for the
southern states of this union is IN the
expansion of our commerce by the
opening of new markets in Asia for
our products, and in order to maintain
and protect such commerce we must
have the Philippine islands for rea-
sons perfectly obvious.
AS the matter now stands, with the
price of our products fixed in Europe,
we can only get for them enough above
the cost of production to induce us to
produce. But with the construction of
the Nicaragua canal we will be as
close to Asia as we are to Europe and a
market much more valuable Will be
opened to us because of the nature of
the country and its need of cotton goods
Especially l believe that China VIII be
divided among the four great powers of
Europe at no distant day, or at all
events, that its commerce will be- con-
trolled by them, and with the Philip
pines belonging to US we can demand
and obtain our share of that commerce

SAYS THAT HEMP IS NEEDED.
President Filter Denies the state
ments of Gordnge Trust

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 9.-William
Filter. president of the Edwin H. Fit
Her cordage Works of this city. does
not agree with the manufacturers of
binding twine, cordage ana rope who,
| it is said, have been urging the United
states government to keep Philippine
ports closed. representing that there is
no scarcity of hemp in this country.
Filter in an interview yesterday as
serted that nearly all manufacturers of
twine rope and cordage were desir-
Gus of securing hemp from Manila.
There is now so little Manila hemp
in the country" he said that the
price is IA to Is cents pound, as
against normal price of or 6 cents.
a return to this market of the normal
supply of Manila hemp would mean The
saving of millions of dollars to the
farming interests in harvester twine
AT present the price is so high that
Mexican sisal takes its place in the
manufacture of harvester twine. Sisa
is much inferior to Manila hemp in all
places where strength is required. Sew
eral grades of harvester Irvine are
made with greater or less proportions
of Manila fibre. The price of ssal has
nearly doubled since the Manila supply
is cut off. The normal output of Ma
Mia twine, in all the islands of the
Philippine group, is about 10000 bales a
week. of $50 pounds each. AT present
and since the beginning of the war only
about 1000 bales have been shipped.
Since the beginning of the war with
the insurgents and the establishment
of the blockade, shipments have 3aen
attended with much delay and difficult
ty, owing to the restrictions and lack
of shipping facilities, which are largely
monopolized by the government ves-
sells"

 We don't like lazy boys here," said the manager. Are you fond of work?" No, sir,p responded the boy, looking the other straight in the face.
 "Oh, you're not, aren't you? Well, we want a boy that is"
 There ain't any" said the boy dog gedly.
 "Oh, yes, there are. We have had over half dozen of that kind here this morning to take the place we have"
 "How do you know they are?' asked the boy.
 They told me so.''
 "So could I. But I'm not a liar" And the lad said it with such an air of convincing energy that he was engaged at once.

Where Boys Yell In School.

Tn Burmese schools making the lads shout is the approved method of ele- mentary instruction. The Burmese educationalists argue that so long as a boy is shouting bis mind is occupied. When he is silent he is certain to be scherning mischief. Therefore the best shouters are the best pupils.
