the announcement OF the appointment
In the newspapers. Whatever ensues In
the immediate future, viii doubtless
see attacks on the government such as
Lord Salisbury has not had TO With
stand during all the course OF his po-
litical career.
The borrowing powers conferred on
the government at the last session OF
parliament are almost exhausted.
About seven and half out OF eight
millions of treasury bills authorized
have already been Issued. The large
revenues coming in will, however prob
ably furnish ample funds until pariia-
ment meets.
There was singular dearth OF news
this morning from all parts OF the
theater Of war Gen. French supple
ments his adyices OF yesterday by re-
porting that Capt. Ricardo and four
troopers Of the life guards are missing,
showing that his reconnoitering party
met with opposition.
Gen. Gatacre dispatched a strong
force Monday, January s, TO reconnoiter
Stormberg, which the Beers were re-
ported to have evacuated. The British
found the burghers strongly entrenched
and returned 10 Sterkstrom.
The Sailors and Flremen's Union, Of
Glasgow, is trying to block the sailing
Of the transport City of Rome by de-
manding an increase in wages.
An incredible rumor comes from
Capetown that the Beers have with
drawn from Magersfontein. Probably
this is an establishment of the native
report that Gen. CronJe is sending rein
loreements to Colesbers.
London, Jan i0.-A. ]. Balfour, the
government leader in the house OF COM
mons. at a luncheon given In Manches-
ter this afternoon. made speech In
which he repudiated the accusafion that
he was thick and thin supporter OK
the war Office"
He declared that even II an angel
from heaven told him II was possible In
great war TO carry out everything as
written out on paper, he should know
that the angel was drawing upon his
Imagination. II was not true, he added,
that the war office had sent the British
army into the field with guns which
placed them at a hopeless disadvantage
with the enemy. He did not claim the
army system was perfect, but the crit
les ought not TO ignore the extraor-
binary military problems Of the present
war, between which and the problems
with which continental headquarters
STATS had TO deal, there was no paral-
lei For the first time In the history OF
the world the country had TO meet an
enemy entirely mounted, and 1t was
true that II Great Britain had entered
into the war with a vast number OF
mounted soldiers II would have long ago
been concluded. Hereafter It would also
be recognized that guns would not be
as mobile as horse soldiers. and that
field artillery must be made part Of the
regular equipment Of every army But
seeing that the British war office had
not Jagged behind the best military
opinion OF today, 1t was ludicrous TO
charge It with want Of presclence- He
was sure justice would be done in due
time 10 the administrative system Of
the army.
The last thing the government desired
was any undue concealment OF unpleas-
ant facts.

owed for the present by the storm

speech Of Mr., Balfour, the government
leader In the House OF Commons, has
oosened such a torrent of comment
from the press and individuals of his
own party, that were parliament TO re-
assemble today II Is doubtful II the
conservatives would retain power in
spite OF their tremendous majority or
the past session. The pent up dissat-
s.actlon with the governments lack or
energy In waging the war Is no longer

yative papers as the Times and the
Globe come out boldly with reproof,
there is no knowing where the agita-
ton VIII end. The provincial press has
already taken up the cry. For the
moment, Mr. Balfour is the scapegoat.

In the meanwhile the successes in the

some OF the conservative papers go so
iar as to regret the extreme age Of the
cabinet ministers and refer to the cabi-
net as a body of patriarchs. Under these
circumstances II is doubtful whether

ones. were off by themselves, and were
passing the day singing and playing
the piano.
1t is strange but nevertheless true,
out OF all the girls who are in this de-
paTtment not one received a present
from home. 1t is true that many of
them have no parents, but majority
have. They are from ell over the state,
and are certainly as well a behaved
body of people as anyone would care
TO meet.
a Sister said she was SURPRISED at
the failure on the part of many of the
parents OF the incorrigibles to send
their children some kind of a remem-
brance. 1t is certainly pity when the
parents SO far forget themselves as
not to remember their own flesh and
blood.

the inmates and every one received all
that could be asked for. 1t was nee
essary to have supply of twenty tur-
