4 Still Inactive.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-During the inter-
lude of apparent military inactivity
and Official secrecy Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener have arrived at tho
seat of war. 1t is assumed that their
clear vision, supported by 10000 fresh
men who are due to arrive in South
Africa within 30 days, will alter the
situation and the fourth month of the
campaign will witness the beginning OF
victories for the British arms. They
are not, however, expected to produce
definite results for some days. but their
more presence will restore the shaken
confidence of the men at the front in
their generals.
Lord Roberts finds 10000 men on
the defensive or watching for an open
ing. Lord Methuen's health, accord
ing to The Daily Mail, has broken
down and tho
Field Msrshsl May Relieve Him.
Possibly some others will be relieved of
important commands. There is cer-
tainly plenty of rank in evidence in
South Africa. In addition to the field
marshal there are 2 full generals, 4
lieutenant generals and IL OF IA major
generals.
There is an uneasy suspicion that
when Ladysmith casualties are an
nounced they will be disheartening and
will partially destroy the glow caused
by General Whites "victory."
The list of victims of disease issued
by the war Office gives % deaths from
enteric fever and dysentery in Lady
smith in four days, revealing the fact
that the besieged are existing amid
bad Sanitary Conditions.
The Standard summarizes the general
situation thus:
"Well, the campaign has lasted three
months. We have something like $780,.
600 troops in South Africa. With this
huge army distributed over the country
we are still powerless to relieve three
garrisons from investment; we still SET
large portions of both colonies in the
hands of the enemy; we have driver
the invaders back at no single point; WI
are actually further from the hostile
frontiers than we were on the day tina
the ultimatum was delivered. Th'
work which ministers believed could b.
effectually performed with $4,000 mel
has not been done, not even begun, by
four or five times that amount. TO ad
nit this is a grave miscalculatlon O
facts and forces"

Mr.. Bryan's speech at the Exposition
building covered the present political
situation thoroughly. Trusts, impe-
rialism and the money question, he
declared, were the most prominent is-
sues before the people. In summing
up his views he said:
"There are new questions and the
Republican party is wrong on the new
questions as it was on the old. This is
not strange. The mind of man is con-
sistent. 1 cannot be surprised that a

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE plight of Brit
ish arms in South Africa is overshad-
owed for the present by the storm
which is bursting over the head Of the
home government. The Manchester
speeches of Mr.. Balfour, the govern
ment leader in the house Of commons,
has loosensd such Q torrent of comment
from the press and individuals of his
own party that were parliament to re-
assemble today 1t is doubtful if tho
Conservatives would retain power in
spite OF their tremendous majority Of
the past session. The pent-up dissatis-
faction with the governments lack Of
energy In waging the war; 10 no longer
concealed. When such ardent Conser-
vstive papers - Tho Times and Globe
come oAt boldly With reproof there is
no knowing whore tho agitation will
end. The e'provinoial press has already
taken up the osy. For the moment
Mr.. Balfour is tho scapegoat but there
is terrible rod In pickle for the Mar
quis Of Lansdowns. while Lord Sails
bury and other cabinet ministers will
not escape ualsss . wonderful change
comes over the war situation.
Tho borrowing powers conferred on
the government at tho last session OF
parliament are almost exhausted.
About seven and half out of the eight
millions Of treasury bills authorized
have already been issued. The large
revenues coming in will, however.
probably furnish ample funds until
parliament meets.

With the exception of the usual

! Eight Boer camps were seen today

Natives say that when the British

the Beers hurried from Springfield.
This supports the belief that Colenso
was weakened to attack Ladysmith."
