WHAT Is BUTLER DOING?

London papers are impatient at the
delay OF definite news from the battle
field near LadysmIth. And they but
reflect the general sentiment among the
people. II is over week since the
Tugela river was crossed, and there
Is no indication as yet that the adj
vancing hosts have gained u single
point OF material advantage. The
silence OF press dispatches is interpreted
as bad omen.
General Buffers advance on Lady
NTH is In every respect a remarkable
movement, and the series Of battles
fought will long live In history among
the most notable Of the century. Prob
ably General Butler decided on making
the advance, without waiting for orders
from. Lord Roberts. chiefly in order 10
retrieve his lost reputation. There Is
evidence that he did not feel sure OF
success, when he started across the
river. A private dispatch TO his wife
proves that And yet he ordered the
advance, perhaps sooner than he would
have done, had he not feared to lose
the opportunity altogether on Lord
Roberts assuming the chief command.
That he is advancing but slowly is
no wonder. The ground from the river
rises continually, Every ridge is forti-
fed. Breastworks protect the Beers.
and barbed wire fences and other OBJ
stluctions delay the British soldiers.
The burghers simply retreat from one
lntrenchment TO another, inhictlng
heavy losses on the enemy each time
new position is taken by assault
Inch for inch the ground is thus con-
tested. After two days heavy work
the British were reported TO have
gained thousand yards. Then they
were said to have occupied a strategic
point which they subsequently had to
abandon.
Il Is evident that the engagements
reported 20 far have been with out
posts. The main body Of Beers are en-
trenched nearer Ladysmith. General
Butler may not, with the force at his
command, be able to dislodge them
and open communication with the be-
leaguered city. but he may be able 10
hold the positions he has gained until
further achievements can arrive from
Cape Town. With fresh troops added
TO those now under his command, the
situation viii be much improved.
Since the above was written, London
dispatches say rumor has been cir
culated that General Buffers flank
movements have failed, and that his
army Is In full retreat towards the riy-
er. The rumors are not confirmed, but
their circulation does not tend 70 quiet
the public anxiety, II is believed the
war Office has news which It refuses 10
give to the public. The wisdom Of such
policy is not apparent, since the office
cannot control the continental news
bureaus. Bad news Is no, made better
nv eon,iny through foreign channels.

the event. nothing that Sampson has done,
in indication of remorse for that departure
from the standards recognized among Of
fcers and gentlemen. has led us to change
our opinion of him. And certainly. there
was nothing in his conduct while SIperin-
tendent OF the Naval Academy, in using
enlisted men as personal servants, for
which he was civilIy compelled to account
10 his victims for a difference as to their
pay. which has suggested that he would not
do what he attempted to do to his IineaIand
moral superior at Santiago Nor have we
any reason for thinking, upon any process
of reasoning, based upon his former repu-
tation and record, that Admiral Sampson
would not have gone cut of his way to
order the destruction of the seandaious
Merrimac, III the way he did, or in any
other way. He knew it's existence to con-
stitute a danger to the Administration.

HIr. Bryan in MarYInn,s.

There is plenty of food fer Republican
thought in the amazing enthusiasm IS
plaved by the people of Maryland yester-
day during MIR. Bryan's progress through
that State. Pouring rain did not IN the
least prevent turnout of-the "hole
population along his route or travel
Thousands stood patiently for hours 10
win q chance to see and hear the tribune
of the People, unmindful of the drench ne
to which they were being subjected on
a pleasant day 1t might be said by the
opposition that the crowds were largely
composed of Republicans drawn to the
meetings by curiosity. No such aiega-
ton could gain credence among sane cit
liens in connection with yesterdays oFa-
tion which was continuous from Wash
ington to Baltimore, where 1t ended IN
the greatest popular outburst ever wit
messed in the Monumental City.
What do such things mean? Certainly
something. Mr. Hanna and his coadjutors
are asking themselves the question, and
answering it. but not for publication. what
their conclusion is may be guessed from
tho diabolieaI frame of mind which Han
ma and Roosevelt have been illustrating
recently in speeches redolent Of billings
gate and the sIums. They are quite as
much impressed by the whrlwinG tour of
the Democratic Presidential candidate
through the East as anyone else has been.
They feel the premonition OF a coming dis
aster to the cause of the trusts-a dfsaz-
ter too great and universal to be averted
by the corrupt use OF thirty million dol
lars, or twice that sum, in States which
were cIassed as doubtful month ago.
Indeed there is ample evidence that the
Republican managers are paralyzed by the
splendor of Mr.. Bryan's performance in
challenging the one element depended on
by them to carry the election. His fear

If elected, he will devote the four years OF

BALTIMORE, Oct 24-President John

road, has returned from Pittsburg, where
he attended the meeting Of the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad. one of the Baltimore
and Ohio properties. At this meeting Mr..
Cowen was elected president 10 succeed

In reference To the Pittsburg and West
ern Mr.. Cowen stated that a syndicate
would advance the money required to make
improvements On that property Surveys
are now being made, but the extent of the
improvements have not as yet been de-
termined. II is contemplated TO cut down
grades take out curves and improve ter
minals. Two plans are under considera-
ton and one calls for large expenditure
while the other would mean only a mod
crate outlay for the present.
The financial reorganization of the com
pany will be delayed, but will provide for
an issue OF bonds to secure funds 10 repay

A Strike settlement in sight.

At last there appears to be substantial
reason for hoping that before many days
the anthracite coal strike may be declared
off. The leading members of the Coal
Trust are reported as willing TO grant
terms which, while neither fully just nor
near what the miners have demanded are
such that. according to what seems to be a
general opinion in the anthracite field, they
will be accepted.
The Coal Trust is understood as pro-
posing that the relations of the price of
powder to the wage scale shall be liqut
dated in advance. That is, the trust esti-
mates a reduction in the charge for pow
der, from two and three quarter dollars
per key to a dollar and a half. as the
equivalent of an advance in wages amount
ing to seven and a half per cent. As an
offer of ten per cent advance has been
made, the trust viii deduct the portion rep
resented by powder, viii pay the men two
and a half per cent advance on the wage
rate OF September, 1890, and agree to sell
them powder at a dollar and a half per
key.
From what We can learn OF the feeling
on the subject among leaders in the Uni
ted Mine Workers organization. it seems
likely that this compromise will be ae-
copied as the best thing that labor can get
out of the situation at present. On its
face the proposition is the reverse of equi-
table, although it may be regarded as more
of concession than would have been Of
fered but for political considerations. In
the arrangement regarding powder the
trust still retains an extortionate advan-
tage over the miners, and has not been
honest in its treatment of that subject.
All expert authorities as far as we know,
agree that the reduced price of powder
| should be stated as equal to siX-tenths,
| and not seven and half tenths of the ten
| per cent advance. Hence if the trust were
acting with integrity, it would grant the
reduction and add four per cent to the
wage rate It could well afford to do this.
in view of the fact that it Will still make q
profit of sixty cents per key upon every
i keg of powder used in the anthracite
| mines.
There is little in the way of sincerity
| and fair dealing to be expected from
! combinations which have established pri-
| vate monopoIies over commodities CT ma
| tiOnal necessity. In the case of thu Coal
| Trust there is an evident determination
to recoup not only the temporary loss Of
| profits, due to the strike, but to make
| good what has been paid into the Repub-
| Hcan corruption fund, in order to pro-
mote continuance of trust control of
| the Government. all at the expense OF
| the class who suffer most from that evil
| domination Bearing this in mind it IS
| to be doubted that the mine workers
could at this time secure any better
| terms than those offered. That. at least.
seems to be the consensus of opinion IN
| the union, and its results probably Will
be an early accommodation.

New York harbor, runs past quarantine,

naught Wherein is it useful for US to
surrender to Great Britain our right to
build, operate, and fortify the Nicaragua

in which our servflity is held abroad. by
