Has All Available Men, and IL He
Intends to Try and Accomplish
Anything, Time Has Come.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Gen. Buffers opportunity for an effec-
tive display of strategy has come, and
1t is to be hoped not too late. The hussars
and the battery of field artillery for which
he has been waiting while Ladysmith was
in deadly peril are now at the front, and
he has every available man, gun and
horse and mule. Gen. Joubert's army Is
making a belated and desperate attempt
to carry Ladysmtth. according to the lat
est news from Ladysmith. What the
emergency requires is a cautious and rap
Id yet far-sighted plan of operations like
that adopted by Wellington In the penin-
sula. There may be another reverse If the
tactics Of the previous battles are repeated.
But decisive victory may be expected
with confidence II Gen. Butler does not at
tempt to do a weeks work during q
single day, and has the patience and skill
enemys position and cutting OF his re-
treat northward and westward No Brit
fish general since Waterloo has ever had
SO brilliant an opportunity or so pressing
a need for delivering series of rapid and
effective blows by which the enemy may
be paralyzed and demoralized in the
course of a single week. Yet the English
public Is SO unaccustomed to campaigns
with turning movements and maneuvering
on a large scale thaD there will be dejec-
tion and clamor IL a complete victory Is
not announced as result OF the first
days fighting.

TUGELA RIVER BATTLE.

Rife Fire.

LONDON. Jan. S.-The first account CIV

the battle ordered drawn UP by Gen. Clery

President Mckinley at the dinner

1T is not possible that seventy-iive

Is this Il mere pachydermatous out
burst, or is it sarcasm: What have
-seventy-iive millions OF frcemen- TO
do with the crime OF Porto Rico or
the needlessly drawn out slaughter in
the Philippines.

this starvation the people OF this
country are guiitlrss. One Presi-

This is Moulton's story-Moulton
OF Standish. Moulton Is a Democrat.
Being a Democrat, he allows that the
other side will swallow anything that
the party leaders will mix up for
them. This is always a favorite allie
cation OF the other side-on both

Moulton says there was once an old

those songs had been good enough
for the brothers and sisters Of the
church before that day and he guess

the church proceeded to paste III that

very secular song. But so deity was

But there was snickering from the
back pews, and he stopped. He look
