The Feeling i'm London.

London, Feb. 1.-The government
gives no sign OF al effort to raise more
troops or 10 adopt any broad scheme OF
campaign in South Africa. The war
office is oDstructing the efforts to raise
volunteer contingents, so that OF the
number of volunteers called, only
two thousand have been actually
enrolled. Regular recruiting has prac-
tically ceased. General Lord Roberts
recently proposed that sergesnts be
promoted TO fill the gaps among the
officers, but the war office vetoed the
prOpOal because such promotions
would destroy the social exclusiveness
of the officers mess. The Cnannel
:quadron has not returned to the Med.
lterranean and 1t is now learned that il
will leave shortly for the coast of Ire
land to manoeuvre. Meanwhile a re-
serve fleet will probably be modified
aud stationed at Portland. Work on
warships undergoing repairs is being
rushed with the utmost speed and ma
val officers at present unemployed have
been ordered to hold themselves in 10 =
slant readiness for duty.
Dispatches from Spearman's Camp
reveal nothing new in the situation
there. Buffers troops are apparently
in good spirits and there is further re-
port OF a third attack to relieve Lady
smith. Il is generally understood that
a supreme ehOr5 TO pierce the Boer
lines is impending.

CONGRESSIONAL.

One OF the most sensational episodes
that has marked the sessions of the Sen j..
ate for many days came yesterday with
the presentation OF Mr.. Pettigrew's reso-
luton on the Philippine situation, and
which embodied a statement by Aguin-
aldo. Senators Lodge, Hawley and Sc.
we'll denounced Mr.. Pettigrew as trai.
tor, q circulator of lies and as respoL- =
sible for General Lswton's death. Mr..
Petligrew spoke briefly in reply to the
accusations against him. II won't st
tempt to make reply to the personal At
lacks upon myself" he said. He pro-
ceeded to say he did not believe the
country's honor could be sustained BY
revers ng the time honored policy that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed 10
accepting the present ADMINISTRATION
usurpatory policy. Mr.. Pettigrew
spoke holly, and it was along time be-
fore the upset dignity of the body was
restored.
10 the House the debate on the To-
dian appropriation bill gave opportunity
to the members to discuss,a great variety
OF subjects, the more Interesting one be-
ing that having TO do with negroes in
the South. Mr.. Linney, of North Caro-.
lima, a former democrat. who joined the
republican party in 1884, used as a text
for the introduction of the subject. the
amendment to the constitution of bis
State, which he claimed was designed
to disfranchise the negro. A mum Der Of
% EN- bers were drawn into the discu,-
sion, and Mr.. Linney's statements pro-
voked reply from Mr.. Williams, of
who justified the action of
certain uthern States on the ground
hat the non-participatiop of the ignor-
ant and illiterate Was necessary TO pre-.
vent the submergencs of civilization.

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 1 1900
THE DECISION of the republican man

The DECISION of the republican man
ayers OF the House of Representatives
not to have a river aud harbor bill this
session is doubtless inspired by the ad-
miDistrstion. They hive prepared the
way for this action by refusing to carry
out the laws already passed appropriat
ing money for such objects. The old prac
tics ofCongress was to appropriate sum
every year for improving the rivers ano
harbors, but latterly there has been
substituted for this, biennial bill,
which has been passed at the long
session. This is the long session,
hut there is to be no river aud har-
Dor bill. Yet no appropriation bill is
an important to the business man and
20 the farmer. No one of the appro'
priai;on bills brings back more to
the public treasury by increased pro-
duc,ion and transportation than this
bill. At ahe same time the repub-
Ecaps ia the House ere shelving
the river and harbor bill, they
have organized general raid on the
q. =. trt asury, in order to swell the
profits of ship builders and steamship
companies. This is OF course, incoD-
sistent. but the reason for this discrim-
iDation is obvious to any one who Will
look beneath the surface. III ten or
fifteen millions are expended for river
and harbor improvements, the public
generally will reap the benefit, and COL
sequeotly none OF the benefciaries will
feel bound to contribute to the republi-
can campaign fund. 10 the case OF the
proposed large shipping subsidies, the
parties to reap the benefit and pocket
the swag are the great firms, such as the
Cramps, who may be relied on to fur
nish money to Mr.. Hanns's campaign
fund. They are probably already
pledged for specific sums, and, at any
rate, they will contribute literally to
the hand that feeds them. If the
money appropriated for river and hsr-
Dor improvements were 10 be dsbursed
in such way as Mr. Hanna could reach
it, there might be a good chance to
pass the bill this Session. Everything
is done by the republicans with refer.
ence to tLeir retention of political power,
but the river and harbor bill, being a
non- partisan measure, would not sup
ply dollar to elect either Presidential
candidate.
