'lEeG to shake public belief that OBJ
erations Of tremendous Importance are
proceeding at the Tugcla. aud 1t IS
Thought That either the denial was

that Gen. Butler is keeping the home

II Is obviously extremely difficult 10
extract the truth from the conflicting
staff mcnts shrouding Gen. Huller'S
m"Yement, but, most Of the comn.en-
tat"rS agree that the aggregate of the
IttI1- tends to confirm the belief that
indictments Of Importance are in prog
rcS&.
1t is true that the correspondents at
Geu. Buller's headquarters convey the
impression that his main force is still
sOuti. Of the Tugela, but it is easily
corteiNHhle that the dispatches are so
censored as TO convey a false impress
sion. Possibly. though dated Saturday
an Sunday. the dispatches were in
reality written prior to the movements
rel ,rted to have commenced Friday.
This has already happened on various
occasions, dispatches being detained
b" The censor and re-dated when actu-
atty released.
NhateVer may be the actual Situa-
ton there seems no doubt that Gen.
Buffers preparations for a fresh at
tempt to relieve L%adysmith were COM
pIeted Thursday or ~Fridny.and though
the start was possibly deferred from
the dat" first selected. it will not he
long before it IS definitely known that
Gen. l'ulicr'S forces are again fighting
their way towards Ladvsmith. Those.
However. who expect Gen, Butler to
reach the b~Clragurr,d town tonight.
seem to haNe forgotten the presence of
the li0crs. The best informed people,
while SHnguinr. fully realize that a
british victory can only be achieved AT
heavy cost.

RESTRICTED HOME RULE.


Ne" York, Feb. "A survey of the
hfSt hall OF the report Of the Phil
ippihrs commission, as submitted TO
the president, is published here. The
commission believes it would be safe
and eNpedient and desirable to grant
to the inhabitants of the archipelago
home rule in local affairs. The towns
should enjoy the rights and privileges
OF towns in territories of the United
states. The provinces should be
turned INTO counties, with the same
functions as counties in the United
states. This system might be ap-
piled 10 LUZon and the NiSayan is
lands at once. It is intended that the
ftlipinos shall govern the towns and
counties by SeIf-elccted officers. sub
iect to general laws. The suffrage
should be restricted by educational
or property qualifications. or both.
a small body of American officials Of
great ability and integrity should be
appointed to advise the town and
county officials in the discharge of
their duties. One commission for
each 100000 natives might suffice.
The commission advocates Il second
class territorial government for the
archipelago, in which only a portion
of the legislature should be chosen by
the Filipinos. The commission would
have no American piacrd in office
when a Filipino would do as welI, aud
the merit system should hc adopted
for the Filipino civil service. The
finances should he managed for the
benefit of the islands. The scheme Of
government should be put into effect

Il found your medi-
cine a blessing to me
and my family"

There are women who feel something
like grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her own loss. Women
accept 1t as part of the obligation of
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new JOY and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
strength. 1t is the unnatural drains and
pains which weaken her.
Every woman who has used DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has found in it the
one thing woman has waited for. It
stops the drains, heals inflammation and
liberation, makes the baby's advent a
pleasure and his life blessing. No
opiates or narcotics are contained in
"Favorite Prescription.
