on the supposed natural advantages on
the side OF the Boers. says:
This country also had and has great
advantages, but, between the War
Office, the Admiralty and the Generals,
they have been mostly nullified."
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
returns to scathing criticisms of the
language Of General Buffers reports.
1t says:
General Buffers reflection on the
terror he put into the foe reminds us
OF things we have heard about Chinese
mandarins."
The press is discussing whence are
to come the troops for q protracted
campaign. 1t Is becoming generally
recognized that some form of compul-
sorry service is more imminent than
previously thought of. The ST. James
Gazette. however. suggests that the
solution OF pouring more and more
troops into South Africa savors Of the
Spanish action in Cuba, adding that
the solution Of making better use OF
the thousands already there has never
suggested itself.
THE QUEENS SPEECH.
London, Jan. 29.-It has been learned
by the Associated Press that the
Queens speech at the reassembling of
Parliament tomorrow will be colorless.
There will be q short reference to the
war. chiefly confined to regrets at the
terrible bloodshed and encomiunls of the
men who have laid down their lives
for their country. The whole proclo-
nation indicates that there Is not the
slightest idea Of giving up the war until
Great Britain's ends are gained.
DEMONSTRATIONS.
viewed by a representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press said:
Il do not believe the session opening
tomorrow will materializc into any
thing serious. Some of our Irish
friends may try to expire on the floor
but l find in moments of serious ma
tional crises Irish eloquence has little
erect, and such orators generally take
back seat. The diatribes on the Gov
eminent will doubtless be little more vi
cious than formerly, but I believe sober
minded men of both parties realize,
however much there may DE to criticise.
that the Government is doing its best
and that 1t would be almost unpatriotfc
to ATTEMPT to tie is hands at such a
time. We are not nervous as to the
result Of .he session."
The speech will further say that re-
lations with all the foreign States are
very friendly. and will express great
pleasure and qualification at the patri-
otism shown by the colonies at criti-
cal period in sending troops to South
Africa and at the patriotism existing
In the Empire generally. It will also
express qualification at the offers Of
troops from Indian native chiefs, and
will allude to the satisfactory compile
ton of the treaty relating to Samoa
There is also the expectation that a
considerable increase in the naval and
military expenditure will be necessi-
tated by the lessons of the war, and
be altogether apart from the special
war vote.
