COMMENTS OF LONDON PRESS
No New Developments In the
Situation at Wepener
or Other Points.
BOERS CONTINUE AGGRESSIVE

London, 1:55 p. M, April 18-Lord
Roberts criticisms of Generals, Bul.
Ter and Warren and Colonel Thorney-
croft continue the topics of acute in
terest. All the afternoon papers conr
ment at length on the structures of
the British commander-in-chief, TAX
ing the same lines as the morning pa
Tpers, praising Roberts for his frank
ness and speculating upon what the
publication of the dispatch at. the
present moment portends. Some of
them maintain that there is nothing
left for Butler but to resign. The sSt.
James Gazette" is particularly
scathing. Referring to Buffers re-
port 1t says: Never in the history
of armies did it happen that generals
have scribbled confessions of failure
and defeat, of useless deaths of men
and discredit to the flag, in manner
which suggests careful selection from
the forced jocularity of the funny man,
the slangy chatter of a horsey woman
and the gabble of smoking room
late in the evening"
The Globe" declares "a more pit
liable record of indecision in plan and
confusion in execution I'VE have sell:
dom read" and adds that what little
reputation Butler had left had been
ruined so far in today's South African
cables. A dispatch from Warrenton
dated Tuesday, says Finding the
Beers busy making new. trenches we
exploded Lyddite shells, following up
these with Maxims. The enemy's am
bulance was afterwards observed on
the spot" From Wepener there is
later than Roberts message
of yesterday and presumably neither
side has gained any particular adj
vantage at any point in the, theatre
Of war, since the last official dispatch
was received.

The ProdiuaI,s Father.

In the Baptist church last evening,
Evangelist Brewer sang, "The Ninety
and Nine" and spoke on the subject
of "The Prodigal's Father" His text
was chosen from Luke 1920, when
he was great way off, his father saw
him, and had compassion, and ran, and
fell on his neck, and kissed him"
The three parallels of this chapter
really constitute one parable. The
father saw the son while yet at a
great distance. The son had lost his
home, his character, his money and
everything, except his fathers love.
The father saw him returning to his
home, and had compassion upon him.
Compassion for him means suffering
with him. He ran to meet him. This
is the only place in the Bible where
God is represented as running to meet
the penitent sinner. A large number
expressed a definite purpose to enter
into new life. The vestry was we'll
filled in the after meeting. Mr.. Brew
er will preach this evening on "Spir--
itual Blindness" All are invited.

Turkey to Increase Duties.

Constantinople, April 1S-The porte
today replied to the third collective
note of the powers on the subject Of
the increase of per cent in duties.
The note announced the intention of
the government to adhere to the plan
of increasing the duties on account OF
the bad condition of Turkish finances.
The ambassadors have decided to ad-
dress another note to the porte, again
stating the objections to such an in
crease without previous understand

the porte threatens to have serious
results.

upon the decision OF the government to
send additional troops to Cape Nome. One
speaker declared nothing had ever trans

presence of Federal troops.
With a view to expedite the raising Of
funds with which to send James Hamil-
ton Lewis, as counsel for the organization,
to Washington to fight the spirit OF "mili-
tarism," and to better protect the Cape
means committee was increased from
three to nine members. Another COM
mtttee was instructed to wait upon Mr..
Lewis
Committees were also appointed to wait
upon the real estate board and Alaska
Shippers Association and assure those
bodies Of the friendly disposition toward
them Of the miners organization and to
ask their cooperation. This was to cor
rect an impression which had gotten
abroad that the Alaska Miners Associa-
ton was unfrfendly to the shippers.
Two members were instructed by the
meeting to make an affidavit for publica-
ton of their experiences at Cape Nome,
particularly regarding the miners assem-

FOR MAYOR on TACOMA.
Attorney Louis ID. Campbell AM
nOunces His Candidacy.

Special Dispatch to the acknowledgement.
TACOMA, Jan. 8.-There Is much COM
ment over the announcement that Louis
d. Campbell has decided to be a candidate
for the office Of mayor on the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Campbell ia lawyer Of abil-
ity. great favorite with the people, and
q man whose private character Is above
suspicion. He has been brought forward
a number of times as a candidate for judge
and other offices, but his opposition to the
Tacoma Land Company and allied inter-
ests has always kept him down at conven-
lions. so that he has never been able to
get before the people,
Some weeks ago he announced positively
that he could not become a candidate for
mayor, for personal reasons. Like many
others, he has lost a great deal of money,
and by a recent decision OF the United
States supreme court he was compelled to
pay about $50 900 on account of stock he
held in banks that failed several years
ago. His consent now to enter the field
for mayor Is looked upon by some as an
unwise move, as 1t Is pointed out that the
office is "hoodooed," and no man that
takes 1t ever escapes In as good shape as
he went in.
Mr.. Campbell is regarded as the most
likely man for the supreme bench Of the
state. a position which, II Is said, he was
particularly anxious to reach when in
comfortable circumstances, and now 1t is
remarked that his chances for that office
will be spoiled by entering the race for
mayor.

ing built, to be used In the delivery of

modelled box factory will be the largest on
the Sound.
w. M. Rodgers came to Anacortes from
King county. He leased the mill at FIRST
afterward buying It, and the present inn
provements are the result Of growing
trade under his management. The output
last season was $4,000 boxes and 100000
feet of lumber. Orders have already been
booked for delivery during the coming sea-
son of more than the total output of the
mill last season. When the improvements
now under way are completed, 1t will re-
quire seventy-1ve men to make up full
crew.
