The Senate allows "A month for discussion

any other body would seem long. but for
the Senate it is extremely reasonable The

The Senate. I is believed. Will insist upon
its own bill. and in that way contribute to
the Importance of the conference commlt-

the matter its finishing touches. But there
is no difference between the two houses as

News of General Buffers thanking move
ment TO the west of the position he has so
tenaciousIy held for several weeks is slow
in coming. but it is evident that he is max
ing progress. Some of his troops have
crossed the Tugela river at two points and
are evidently preparing for a general ad-
vance. The official report shows that the
Beers are intrenching themselves strongly
five miles away from the British position
at one of these crossing places and thus it
is assured that when the British advance is
ordered there will be severe fighting The
question to be answered by events is
whether General Butler has scored an ad-
vantage by shifting the scene of attack
from ColensO to Potgeiter's drift Had he
struck the Boer flank suddenly and swiftly,
without giving the enemy a chance to in
trench himself he would undoubtedly have
found his advance more feasible than at
Colenso, where the Roer intrenchmeuts
prevented the crossing of the river 1t
seems. however. that the fanking opera
uons have not been so swiftly conducted
that the Beers have not had time to dig
rifle pits, which constitute their main re-
lance IN this campaign. There may be
conditions on the ground to warrant the
change of scene from Colenso. The CEN

General Butler is carrying the campaign
closer to the enenys own territory. and it
may be that subsequent operations will
show General Roberts plan to comprise the
invasion of the Free State, with the relief
of L.adysmith as an incident. This would
shift the scene of the fight from British
soil and give the English forces the advan-
tage of fighting among avowed enemies
rather than among theoretical friends but

il does not alter or obscure the fact that
Mr. Bryan's invitation to Frankfort was for

hat Mr.. GOebel must have Mr. Brvan's
good wishes? And as Mr.. Bryan is the ma
