Great Britain Is Pouring
Men Into the Field.
MAKES STRONG DEFENSE
OF What the Government Has Done
and is D0ing-Gen. Buffers Losses
at Spion sKop VIII Number Over
Two Thousand.

London, Feb. 2, 4:30 a. m.-Mr. Wynd-
hams remarkable declaration in the
house of that Great Britain
will have in a fortnight $780, 900 regulars
in South Africa, 1000 Canadians and
Australians and $4,000 South African
volunteers. il received with wonderment.
OF this total of 2l3.0 900 troops, with 452
guns, all are now there with the excep-
ton of 10000 that are afloat. Beyond
compe rison this is the largest force Great
Britain has ever put into the field. At
the end of the Crimean war she had
scraped together $4,000. Wellington at
Waterloo had %, 900. Mr.. Wyndham's
speech was the strongest defense the
government has yet put forward as to
what has been done and is being DONE.
The general tone of the morning papers
is tina. his fiures will astonish the
try. Roughly speaking, only 10000 men
are at .une front. Ten thousand others
have been lost and 10000 are Shut UP at
Ladysmith. Excluding these. there are
0 1000 troops who have not yet been in
action. in addition to those at sea. Why
so many electives have not yet been en-
gagged is explained by the lack OF land
transport and the organization of sup
piles, to which Lord Roberts is devoting
hl& experience ana AOru hlucileneT MS
genius for details. If ,
It seems as. though the weight of
these masses must destroy the equilib-
rium which noW holds the British forces
sta tlonary wherever they are IN contact
with the BOer army. 81 .
Lack of transport and organization will
not explain adequately why, when gem
erals at the front request reinforcement
they get them in rather small numbers

THE 10Th CENTURY.
BY Malcolm ]. Richards, PHI. D.

Now at the close of the nineteenth CEN
tury, it is safe for us to assert that no
century of the many that have passed
has seen so much advancement in the
arts and sciences. Other centuries have
witnessed progress for man, who was
cropping after better things hundreds of
years ago, has never refrigerated, but,
whatever the future may have in store.
it is safe to say that coming historians
will give the present century the credit
for having achieved more in the improve-
ment of the race than any of its predeces-
sors. A century that has given to the
world such poets, such scientists and
such inventors as the nineteenth CEN
fury. cannot be robbed OF It's prestige.
What a chasam lies between the last
year of the. eighteenth century and the
last year Of the nineteenth. The world
was then 1870 days in diameter. but that
time diameter has now disappeared, A
hundred years agO 1t required more
than four months to convey a thought
from any point to its %antipodes, while
it now arrives at one end of the earth
almost as soon as it leaves the other.
Today, If a person desires to travel
from one end of the world to the other,
he can do so in perfect comfort and will
be required to spend but a compare
tlVely snort space OI ClIIlc.
At the close of the eighteenth GEN.
fury our fo%refathers a made little
more progress in the matter of rapid
conveyance than had the first man who
sat upon a horse, padded a canoe or
sailed a boat.
In spite of the thousands of years
that had passed since man had depend
ed upon other means of conveyance than
those that nature a given him. prac-
tically little advancement had been made
along these lines. whereas we, in a single
century, have solved almost every prob
lem of successful transportation.
ON SEA.
The nineteenth century has produced
many wonderful things. but there have
been few of the inventions that have
been more useful han the steamboat
While it Is possible that 1t was Captain
Samuel Morey who actually invented
the e+eamboat, his invention amounted tc
nothing. and 1t was to Robert Fulton
more han to anyone else, that the worid
ia inaebted for the great advance thai
has feen made in this method Of trans.
porta,ion. 1t was he who first perfected
and lsed a really practical steamboat
anG no honor that we can pay his mem.
ory will be too great to be deserved.

TWELVE-STORY BUILDING
AN IMMENSE STRUCTURE on MILLER
BLOCK SITE PROPOSED.
The Plans Were Drawn b. ID. ID. Adj
sit, a Chicago Architect-Mr.
Martin Evasive

Plans have been prepared for new OF
fee building in Indianapolis which will
eclipse any of the large buildings that
have been erected in this city within the
last few years. The new structure, which
will be of the most modern type, is to be
constructed at the northwest corner of
Illinois and Market streets on the ground
now occupied by the two-story Miller
block
This immense building, il is said, will
be erected by the New York Investment
Company, which is already doing extensive
building in this city This company oper-
ates throughout the United States, and most
of the contracts made are for large build
ings. The space to be occupied by the
new building at the corner of Illinois and
Market streets will be 202ik feet on Market
street and running north on Illinois to
Wabash street, covering more ground than
any of the large buildings in the city.
The plans were prepared by b. d.. Adsit,
q Chicago architect and were sent TO G. b.
Martin, of Indianapolis, who is the secre-
tary of the New York Investment Com
pany. The plans call for a twelve-story
fireproof building OF the latest style OF
architecture.
Mr.. Martin was seen at his home last
night by Journal reporter but was reluc-
tant TO give any information about the pro-
posed new structure. He said the company
is engaged I'm building such structures
throughout the country. and now has sew
eral smaller buildings under way an the

Indianapolis is TO be rerated by schedule

a stronge charge added 20 the basis rate

improvements. The city refused to spend
the money, and rates are to be Increased
