LORD ROBERTS NEW PLAN.

Lord Roberts dispatch that General
French has succeeded in reaching Kim
berly indicates that the British plan
of campaign has been changed entirely.
Instead Of following the line through
Natal for the relief of Ladysmith, il is
apparently the purpose to fight a way
Forth aIcag the western boundary of
the Free state and thence east across
to Pretoria and Johannesburg. The
new direction avoids the mountainous
passes of the Drakensburg mountains
which are easily defended and made
impossible So anything but an enorm-
Cul force Of men. 1t allows the British
TO handle their transport system more
readily and pass through a compar3-
,tveIy open region where scouting is
s.mplifed and direct attacks on fOrti-
fed forces can be obviated by 1anking
operations
One feature of yesterdays reports
would indicate that the willy Beers are
ND to mischief Of some sort. Hereto
fore the Dutchmen have fought every
time an advantage was TO be gained,
but they offered no opposition to
French. Tt may be that they intend to
allow the British to advance unopposed
along the western line in the hope that
when the column has penetrated the
country some distance they can con-
cenuate their strength on the line Of
British communication in the rear and
make it exceedingly unpleasant for the
invaders such strategy would be
favored by the disafected Boer popula-
ton in the Cape Colony which would
facilitate an attack on the British com
municauons and compel Lord Roberts
to hold a good part of his army along
the railroad ana transport lines to pre-
vent an attack in the rear.
Meanwhile General Butler viii find
some relief if the Kimberley route is fol
/ lowed. The Dutch forces viii of neces-
/ sity be compelled to draw off from
I.adysmith to re-enforce Cronje's army
in front of Roberts main column.
/ Whether Ladysmith can be starved cut
OF forced to surrender before the siege
/ is raised is problematic. That will de-
pend upon the numerical strength of
/ the Beers. and no one seems to know
just how many men the burgheTS' have
al their disposal Even if the sanguine
hopes cf the British are realized it is
/ evident that the war is to be Ions,
hard fought and terribly disastrous TO
both British and Boer. Unless friendly
intervention succeeds in securing a sus-
! pension Of hosdlities soon Kruger
/ prophecy is sure TO be realized and the
war won at a cost that win make the

WHERE is HELEN GOULD?


Under the protection Of a legal mis-
fit known as the Horton law" New
York City has been treating the rest
of the country to a long series of the
most brutal disgusting prize-fghts
ever seen in the country. L the fights
had been genuine fstic contests and
particularly if the contestants had al
ways been disabled professionally. the
exhibitions might have passed as a nor
NAL parade Of New York's taste in such
matters. It happens, however, that the
gamblers and sure-t thing men have used
the fights for their business and dee
tored the referees to that end.
The most recent gathering for this
purpose was known as the Gans-Sulu-
van ight. When the decision was made
known it was so Extensively rank that a
partisan of the defrauded man rose and
mote the referee as to his ear. In turn
the crowd Of gentlemen assembled tried
