Indignation Against
British Cabinet.

The Indignation, humiliation and
amazement of England at the in
competency displayed by its minis
ters have risen to heights probably
never before attained. While the
empire is engaged in the most Sc
rious struggle to which it has been
committed since the first years OF
the nineteenth century, while the
statesmen and the legislatures of the
self-governing colonies faithfully re-
present the imperial spirit of their
constituents, while the Britishers OF
all ranks have risen 10 the occasion
with courage and unanimlty un-
surpassed in their annals, the states
men at home have committed them
selves 10 party man@uvres, mutual
recriminatiOns, contradictions, shu
fling evasions and palpably lame
excuses. The politicians are so ut
terly Needless of the temper OF the
people that the movement in favor
of a reconstruction of the cabinet,
first inaugurated few weeks ago,
seems likely, unless more vigorous
policy is adopted speedily, to deve-
lop into national uprising which
will sweep out the politicians whose
utter failure almost appears to JUS
tify, in the words of the Daily Mail
{. the prophecies of the downfall OF
the British empire so literally pou-
red forth by writers and speakers in
the United States and on the con-
tinent."
Even the Times, that bulwark OF
Conservatism, declares that the chat
ter in the House of Commons du-
ring the past few days is simply irri-
tating and offensive TO nine out Of
ten people in the United Kingdom" ;"
Consequently it is not astonishing
that the people are looking for some
strcng nan to lead them. Lord
Rosebery's name is the one most
prominently spoken of. His pitiless
lashing of Lord Salisbury on the day
parliament reassembled marks him
in the opinion Of many persons, as
the right man to face the present
crisis.

competition in some articles, especia-
lily in grains, wheat being quoted in
Paris from Is to 193 francs when it
is quoted at 13 francs in Chicago
and IA in New York.
The new treaty of commerce aoith
the United States enables the Anne
ricans to compete with similar French
products.
French 3 per cent is at 100 and
no monetary crisis is feared. The
shares of the Bank of France are at

700 francs.
Railways are also well quoted in

cross the bridge and started to wheel
the cannon back into their lines.
In desperate attempt to keep the
cannon out of the Beers hands all
the English artillery in the rear and
on the fianks concentrated their fire
on these field pieces which but a
short time before had been part of
their own accoutrement.
AS the Beers, were taking them
across the bridge the British turned
their fire upon the bridge itself, but
all without effect, and within half an
hour the ten grim muzzles were
turned upon the English themselves,
and the caissons, which had been
captured with them, were ssOon re-
lieved of quantity of their deadly
missiles.
That engagement to an onlOOEer
had been the most brilliant since the
war opened in Natal. Each side
had seen the courage of the other.
English horses and English soldiers
lay in heaps about the position Whe-
re the ten cannon had been raShly
placed.
General Butler himself asked for
twenty-four hours armistice in which
to bury the dead and care for the
wounded. l Was the first time he
had met the Beers in the field.

How Butler Was
Beaten By JOubert
At COlenSO.

Mr.. Eugene E. EastOn who ar
rived in New York on the 4th ins,
tant from the Transvaal said:
The battle of ColenSo was the most
typical battle of tthe war. The
Beers there felt that they were to
measure arms with the military idol
of England. With three times their
number Butler attempted, on the
morning of the 18th of December,
to cross the Tugela.
The railway bridge at the Tugela
had been blown up, but the Beers
had left the big wagon bridge intact.
They lay amoHg the bOuIders Of tue
kopjes, overlooking the town of Co.
lenso and the level plain, over which
the British troops could be seen
manoeuVring, and calmly waited
until the great moment. The En-
glish artillery shelIed the kopjes, but
not shot replied. In vain they at
tempted to reveal the position aud
strength of the Boer forces.
Suddenly the English artillery grew
bold, and wheeled across the plain
near the wagon bridge, where they
unlimbered and began to fire. 1t
was magnificent spectacle of pro-
fessional military manOeuyring, but
the move was fatal one. Without
a moments warning there was a
withering fire and the artillery hor
ses fell to the groud
With brilliant courage the English
attempted to rescue these ten field
pieces; but they had come within
the range of the Boers' Mausers,
and the slaughter was fearful to see
When it was seen to be utterly ho
peless to rescue the cannon the En-
gIish troops began toretire.
Then it was that the Beers sho
wed courage as brilliant as tina
! of their enemies. They dashed =

This shows that the Bank of Lon
don in a week has increased the gold
reserve 20 million francs and in
Germany, France, Russia and Aus
tria it has decreased about 118 mil
lion. The British market has i'm
proved considerably.
If we compare it with another
previous week we will notice that
the gold recerve is decreasing in
Europe, while it increases in Lon
don.
Russia is protecting energeti-
cally her new monetary system;
France needs r-gold to guarantee
the 4, ITO million francs she has IN
circulation; and Austria, after so
many years of work has not yet been
able to normalize values, it is really
surprising that the gold of these
Banks goes to London, specially in
critical times such as the present;
but this has its natural explanation
if one looks only at the powerful CON-
mercial houses in the ten thousand
million pesos of foreign values which
England Keeps. There are no reasons
therefore to feel pessimistic, in from
of the enormous resources of En-.
gland.
The general prosperity that was
initiated from 1890 to 1897 has
ceased !; and the reserve in the
principal Banks in Europe is 200
million gold less that in the year
1897.
