BRITISH MARK TIME"
Little Apparent Change in the Gen.
erRI Situation.


LONDON, December 26.-The latest
cable dispatches from South Africa
show that the situation at the front is
practically unchanged. With the ex-
ception of desultory artillery practice,
to which the Beers do not reply, the
British continue to mark time.
The Beers heavily bombarded Lady
smith for a couple of hours December
18th, the day after the battle of Tugela
River, but little damage was done.
They killed one man and wounded two
men of the garrison.
Advices from Cape Town say that
the New Zealanders with Gen. French
at Nauuwpoort, were in a tight corner
December 18th. They were nearly sur
rounded by Beers and retired under a
hail of bullets fired at short range, but
sustained only little loss.
Among the Beers killed at Stormberg
were many of that locality who had
joined the Orange Free State forces.
Several newspaper correspondents
have returned to Cape Town from the
Modder River, apparently confirming
the belief that an immediate advance of
the British is projected

Suggestion From England.

CHICAGO, December ga special
20 the Record from Washington, D. c.,
says:
The British embassy, it is under
stood, has within twenty-four hours
called the attention of the State De-
partment to the pro-Boer feeling in the
United States, with the suggestion that
this government exercise the utmost
caution in preventing the sailing of fill
clustering expeditions to South Africa.
The State Department replied that
1t would do its best to preserve the
law of neutrality, and cited the fact
that a vessel which sailed recently
from Baltimore to Philadelphia, pre-
sumably destined for Lourenzo Mar
quez, is being closely watched by the
revenue cutter service. This vessel, it
is said, was secured for the shipment
of 500 men from the United States to
South Africa for participation in the
South African war on the Boer side.

& LIVELY SESSION
BEFORE THE HIGH FRENCH COURT
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Remarks INDUCED in by the Prose-
Gator Which Called Forth Pro-
tests From the Audience and
Jules Guerin, the Counsel.

PARIS, December 26.-The public
prosecutor this afternoon began his
closing speech before the high court
(SenateyE in the conspiracy cases. He
reviewed the evidence which, he said,
showed that the conspiracy was more
dangerous than when the Comte de
Paris so forgot the traditions of his
family as to join hands with Gen. Boul-
anger"
This evoked noisy protests from the
audience, and the accused, Jules Guer-
in, called upon the president of the
court, M. Fallieres, not to permit the
prosecutor to indulge in such insulting
remarks" but the prosecutor continued,
saying that the same men who conspir-
ed ten years ago had again plotted to
overthrow the republic. The Comte de
Paris, he added, was dead, but the Due
dOrleans pursued the same system.
The remarks of the prosecutor were
soon drowned by the vehement inter-
ruption of the prisoners. M. Fallieres
for a time family rang his bell to re-
store order, and eventually the prosecu-
tor was heard to declare that he had
decided, owing to the want OF evidence,
to abandon the prosecution of six pris-
oners, M. Chevally, Frenchen-Court,
Brunei, Cailly, Bourmont and Bauiers.
He then recapitulated the story OF the
anti Republican Vaccinations Of the
Dus d'Orleans and his agent, NJ. Buffet.
The latter violently protested and an
uproar ensued, many Of the senators
demanding NJ Bullets expulsion. Three
of the prisoners, NM Cailly, Brunei
and Jules Guerin, then successfully
shouted that if NJ Buffet was expelled
from the sessions they also wished to
be expelled. Perfect pandemonium re-
suited. Finally the court in secret ses-
sion decided to expel NM. Buffet and
Cailly until their COUNCILS speech for
the defense.

1t is clear that Gen. Butler will re-

while Lord Roberts is on the sea. He
is receiving reinforcements and fresh

to reopen hostilities in a week or ten

The Movement in Boston.

BOSTON, December ga movement
looking to the invasion of Canada by
the Fenians and advanced by Irish Ma
tionalists has been agitated for some
time by leaders of these organizations
in and around Boston. Col. Roger F.
Scanned, who has been identified with
Irish agitations for many years, said
to-day that there was to be a meeting
OF prominent Irish Nationalist in Phil
adelphia next Sunday or Monday to
discuss the question of invading Can
ada.
This meeting" Col Scanned says,
will be followed by another in Bost ton
when reports from the Philadelphia
meeting will be made by Boston dele
gates"
Col. Scanned said that the present
would be a good time for the invasion,
as the troops of Canada are being sent
away to take part in the African war.
at has been agitated for years." con-
tinued the colonel, that Canada should
either be annexted to the United States
or should have independent government
of her own. The South African war
will, in my opinion, see the first break
in the British empire. With an army
Of 100000 Irish Nationalist engaged in
the invasion of Canada, it would make
things interesting for the English gov
eminent"
Referring to the Fenian invasion of
Canada Of many years ago, Col. Seam
mel said that it was a failure because
there were too many generals and col
onels and no discipline. This would not
happen now, he said, since the men are
well organized all over the country,
and have confidence in their leaders.

Not Credited at Washington.

SOt SICuAttu At tOhs
WASHINGTON, D. c., December &c.
The alleged attempts in different parts
of the country to organize Fenians for
raid into Canada have not as yet been
drawn to the attention of the State
Department, and nothing is known
upon the question beyond the matters
set out in the newspaper publications.
The officials do not give the smallest
credence to the stories and are of the
opinion that the purpose in setting
them afoat is to brighten the Canadians
into keeping their soldiers at home and
failing to answer to the appeal of Eng
land for volunteers for the African
campaign.
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, is too well experienced in
American methods to make this matter
the basis of official representations at
this stage, and, indeed, it is said at
the State Department that he has not
even found it necessary to demonstrate
against the alleged violation of neu-
trality involved in the recruiting of
soldiers for the Boer army within the
limits of the United States. 1t is sug-
gested that the explanation for this at
titude is a preference on the part of the
British to deal with such persons as
may enlist here for the Boer army
after they leave the boundaries of the
United States, and it is not doubted
that all of these movements that really
promise to amount to anything are be-
ing carefully watched with view TO
catching the volunteers at some con-
venient point by feet cruiser.
Should it turn out that a Fenian
movement of the kind alleged to exist
is actually discovered and brought to
the attention of the United States gov
eminent, sharp and prompt repressive
action will be taken, not only to pre-
vent the violation of the neutrality
laws. but also to save the raiders them
selves from. such consequences of their
actions as befel the unfortunate Fem
ian raiders of 1866.
The talk of a Fenian raid is well
calculated to cause alarm on the Cana
dian side of the border, as the people of
that section were greatly agitated dur
ing the former Fenian excitement Al
though an actual movement occurred
at that time. the chief trouble occur
red over alarming reports OF invasions
which never took place. Something of
a panic took possession of the Cana
dams on the border, and many women
buried their household silver and val
uables on the small islands of the Dor
der rivers, fearing that the Fenians
were about to loot the towns. On the
American side the excitement was in
tensifed by local Fenian organizations
which drilled in apparent anticipation
of a movement, although these proved
to be purely local bodies more or less
sympathizing with the movement but
wholly without sympathetic connection
with the head organization.
