In the review and changing con.
dirons Of English ioasnaii-w, the
loss Of Archibald Forbes would not
be seriously felt. even if he had been
engaged in active newspaper work.
All that is Of value in the london
journals Of today is American in
tone and method. The newspapers
that have invited the advanced
American school have grown IN cir
culation and influence. Those that
have not have gone to seed or into
the hands Of receivers. The DAILY
Mail hes shaken up the dry homes
in Fleet street. The Telegraph, that
apologizcd for an interview m
1876, is now struggling in a help
less way to secure an interview with
some distinguished parsonage every
day
The Daily News, which has never
done anything that could be called
Contemplating" since the days Of Mac
Gahan and Forbes in 1871, Is trail
ing along at the end of the process
ion led By the Daily Mail, Morning
Chronicle and Standard. The
Times is no longer tn Thndercr.
1t relapsed into absolute irrespon-
sibility and dcsuetude after the Par

Capt. Curd of the British bark
Juteopolis, which sailed from Phila-
delphia recently for Hamburg. has
lodged serious complaint against Pilot
Peter II. Schellingef Of tho Delaware
Bay and. River Pilots Association.
According to Capt. Curd, Schelinger,
whose turn it was to take the bark to
the sea, reported on board in eondi-
tion Of apparent INVESTIGATION. His
appearance was noted and commented
on by the crew of the Juteopolis to
such an extent that Capt. Curd decided
not to get underway with him. He
induced Schellinger to leave the vessel,
and after securing another pilot,
promptly reported the case. The
matter was discussed at Mondays
meeting of the Philadelphia Board Of
Port Wardens and was referred to the
committee on pilots and navigation.

signally shown by his election, IN

London, Eng, Jan. 8, 3.43 p. m.--
The War Office has just published the
following dispatch from Gen. BUTLER:
''F'rere Camp, Natal, Jan, 3. The
following is from White, dated 3 p. m.
Yesterday: IAN attack was commenced
on my position, but was chiefly against
Cesar's Camp and Wagon Hill. The
enemy were in great strength, and
pushed the attack with the greatest
courage and energy. Some Of the en-
trenohments on Wagon Hill were three
times taken by the enemy, and retaken
by lis. The attack continued until
7.30 b. m. One point in our position
was occupied by the enemy the whole.
day, but at dusk, in very heavy rain
storm, they were turned out of this
position at the point of the Eayonet in
most gallant manner by tho Devons,
led by Col Park. Col. Ian Hamilton
commanded on Wagon Hill, and rem
dered valuable service. The troops have
had a very trying time, and have be.
haved excellently. They are elated at
the service they have rendered the
Queen. Theenemy were repulsed every
where with very heavy. loss, greatly ex7
ceeding that on my side, which will be
reported as soon as the list is COM

Further news OF Cen. Whites victory
is anxiously awaited, as 1t is generally
realized today that there was little
\ warrant for the exultation which fol-
lowed the announcement Of his repu lse
of the Beers. The remarkable revolu
tion in Boer tactics has been another
complete surprise to the British, who
had not reokoned on the weakened
garrison Of LadysInith being sub
jected to such a courageous assault
and it is realized that Gen. Whito'I

prolong such an arduous defence. Ii
some quarters, it is considered IN
accountable that Gen. Butler did no
