Sr. Director del BoLETIN MER CANTIL
Londres, Abril 10 de 1900.

La guerra esta paralizada. Lord
Roberts no quiere moverse dejando poT
detras enemigOs, que lie impidan la pa
cificaci6n del Sur de Orange, y no
quiere avanzar sin fuerzas tales, que
Ileve asegurada la victoria. DentrO de
una semana Sc reuhira la Camara de
diputados de Orange en- Kronstaadt, y
sus acuerdos determinaran la conducta
de Lord Roberts, que para entonces va
tendra grandes refuerzos, pues la Octa-
va division esta desembarcando ahOra
en- East London y Port Elizabeth.
Mas inm0vil atin que lord Roberts
esta sir Butler, que nj atraviesa ell paso
de Van Reenen, va fOrtiticadO pOderO-
Sdmente por los beers, nj Sc decide q
avanzar hacia ell NcFte para reseatar
las plazas inglesas tOdavfa en- poder de
de los trs nsvaalenses. Estes tienen va
formidables posiciones en- las cOrdille
ras de Biggarsberg y en- Drakensberg;

guerra sigue muy dura y ditfcil tiene
que ser la lucha, porque los cOmpatrio-

esperan lnchar mucho tempo, eSpe
rando que una lucha porfiada y larga
ha de causar q [nglaterra, que gasta
un million de pesos por dia, : ha de
originar complicaciones, aunque hoy
por hoy va saben los beers que, ante la
actitud del gabinete de Londres, la ac-
ci6n de la diplomacia es inefcaz y ma
die quiere intervenir.
Mafeking es hoy ell centric mas inte.
resante de la campaTia. Sc supone a
la plaza con pocos elementos de resis
tencia y muy asediada; a lord Methuen,

los beers en- Lobatsi. El cercO les es
trecho, y Sc ha enviadO tOda la caballe-
ria que habfa en- Kimberley; pero la Ii
beraci6n de la plaza a1n ha de tardar.
El commando de Olivier, que Sc con-
sidera fuerte de uuos cuatro 6 cinc0
mil hombres, es otrO enigma. Olivier
ha tratado de cortar las comunicaciOnes
de.lord Roberts, y ell generalfsimo ha
enviado contra 6l al general French
con grandes fuerzas, Ordenando al pro-

Notes of the Campaign

WILL st PPORT McKINLEY-Wiliam T. Baker exprcdent of the Chicago board of trade and of the Worlds Fair and of the leading democrats of Chicago has made open statement of his purpose to vote for Me kiney this fall. In letter just made public he makes powerful attack against Bryan whom he says the great
 est 'imperalist since Napoleon Bonaparte. Ir Baker has been well known in the past for his cOnvc- tions in favor of free trade and for his aggressive interest in the work of the National Tariff Reform league. NIr. Baker says however, that the democratic doctrine of free trade has been aban- doned for principles that restriction of trade and through the populistic attitude 'trusts limitation of all successful enterprises within state lines The let ter follows Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, Chairman Republican National COmmittee-Mv Dear Sir: The democratic or ganzaon has passed under the control of public enemies and no man who holds to the traditional doctrines of the party Is under the slightest obligation follow the present leaders. The policies that guided the party from effer- to Cleveland have been sderaced for the sms pop ustS and anarchists. Even free trade has given way Bryan promise that he will recommend such additional legislation may be necessary to dissolve every private monopoly which does business outside of the of its origin This would mean under pOpulist interpretation and control the limitation of all successful enterprises with in state lines; captivating programme suggest the moment when American being pushed be- yOnd the The democratic crusade against expansOn termed imperialism is absolute sham. a silly and hypocrtcal invention to divert attention from their lutOnary purposes Expansion has been the policy and practice of the American people since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock and who understands the real spirit of our institutions be frightened by the phantom of imperialism which Bryan has conured up for this paign only Since Napoleon Bonapare, there has been no greater imperialist than Bryan himself His will is the law of the party that supports him. and if elected he would endeavor to rule the entire nation with the iron hand Napoleon deluged Europe in blood to reach throne and Bryan would not hesitate to wreck every in dusy in the land to attain the presidency This talk of imperialism is like the rattle of the snake that hurts body. It is the head of the reptile that is dangerous and there you will find the free silver bite.

 eight-hour day; in 1871 against a reduction; in 1875 the obscure Molly Mcguire troubles convulsed the district, and in 1888 and 1897 there were local strikes. the last involving the de- plorable Lattimer incident. None of these involved the whole district, and all of them failed. The reason seems to be in the nature of the situation. The consumption of anthracite at a price that pays a profit on the cost of mining is limited. It is less than the annual production of the region, when pushed to the extreme: so that with part of the mines closed the res. can supply the whole demand. Nevertheless. much of this demand is peremptory, and a limit ed product can be sold at a very high price. This creates a temptation here tofore irresistible for part of the mines to stay open, increase rheir production, limited by necessary agreamnt when all are open, and take the profit of the high scarcity price. The temptation reaches miners as well as operators because wages are governed by price of coal, roughly if not definitely. Besides part of the men, in these circumstances. can get almost anything they want by sep arating from the rest. It is these sep

CURING BY SUNSHINE AND AIR.

Scotland boasts the first medical es- tablishment in Great Britain where the prescription of the doctors is that one should walk in the open air in the cos tune fashionable in Eden before the fall. and where. into the bargain, every facility is provided to enable one to do it.
 On the side of hill at Peebles. at a height of $50 feet above the level of the seals an enclosure-Or rather, two en- closures-guarded from the public gaze by high canvas screen. These enclo- sures are the sun and air baths.
 Here amid the soothing scent of the pines from the fir-clad slopes behind the Peebles Hydropathic. the patients of the new treatment imported from the Carpathians by Prof. Petsky walk about or lie on the green sward in puris naturalibus, gaining all the in vigOrating effect of the free play of the sun and the mountain air upon the usu- ally covered skin.
 There are two main enclosures. one for gentlemen, one for ladies; and each main bath is sub-divided into sun baths and air baths. Despite the screens, which secure for the patients the fullest privacy, the sun bath in each case is open to the play of both sun and air. The baths cannot ba ia 1+ nd baths are prescribed, while others have to avoid entirely exposure to the direct rays of the sun, and undergo the air bath only; again, while one patient may take the bath for five minutes only, another may possibly take it for hours.
 In some cases, too, only part of the body is exposed either to the air or to the sunlight, as the case may require it, and in combination with other measures, the baths are enjoyed even in very low temperature. The bath st the Peebles Hydropathic has been open all the winter, even during snowy weather.
 The diseases treated by this remark able return to primeval nature include diseases of the respiratory organs, dis eases caused by retarded nutrition and various kinds of nervous diseases. Part of the philosophy of the treatment is that it is one of the surest means of in creasing the resistance of the body to climatic influences. produces improved circulation, promotes the healthy ac- ton of the skin, and consequently re- moves predisposition to internal ca tarrhs and compositions.
 To a representative, a patient who had gone to the bath the day before, said that he never felt cold.

 islands as an official representative of the government? It is the unwavering contention of the anti-imperialists that he does. In this way only is it possible to refute his statements about the condition of things in the islands. When the first commission. headed by President Schurman, went to the islands its mem- bers were declared by the anti-imper- ialist press to be an ideal body for the work in hand. Yet when that commis- sion reported, as they did after a care ful study of the situation. that de plorable as this war is in which we are now enga ged, it was unavoidable by us.'' that we were attacked by bold. adventurous and enthusiastic army" that there was no alternative left us except ignominious defeat" that i've cannot from any point of view escape the responsibilities of government which our sovereignty entails" and that the commission Is strongly per suaded that the performance of our na- tional duty will prove the greatest blessing to the people of the Philip pine islands" when the very commis- sion that the anti-imperialists had so unreservedly commended made this re- port. what was the anti-imperialist comment? Why. simply that the com missioners had so obviously yielded to the powerful influences behind the president that their word was good for nothing, was not for a moment to be taken in contradiction of that of Aguinaldo and his followers.

WHY CROKER BETS ON BRYAN-(

WHY CROKER BETS ON BRYAN.-Chairman Jones back from New York with rainbow stories of how Croker is going to carry New York for Bryan Croker majority in Greater New York and that if the republicans do not give Mckinley 50O00 6O00O majority in the state above the Harlem Bryan will win There are two big Ifs blocking the road to Mr. Bryans and Mr. Oness happiness Can Croker give Bryan 1O00 900 in Greater New York? In 1896, with the same issues and candidates, Greater New York gave Mckinley plurality of over 50000. In 1898 Croker gave Van Wyck plural

It therefore appears that Croker must give Bryan 200000 than 100000 majority in Greater New York November if he wants to sit the head of the cabinet after next March. New fork above the liar lem has proved itself able to give republican plurality of 200000 As matter of fact, democratic claims of carrying New ork bluffs They rest chiefly the statement that Boss Croker has bet $S0O0O $250OOO on Bryan This Is not of fool and his It is part of Crokers game He is engaged in raising election fund of $2 500000 by assessing the benecares of Tammanvs rule in New York He advertises his bets to ugarcoat his assessments What does Cokcr for losing SS0,000 Bryan long as he handle the $25000G0 collected from his taXeaters?
