ISSUES OF COMING CAMPAIGN.
Prosperity and Retention Of the Phil
ippines, Says Senator Hanna.


PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1s-The subcom-
mittee of the Republican national campaign
committee began to-day the work of laying
plans for the presidential campaign. Short
ly after o'clock the committeeman visited
Mayor Ashbridge. In the party were Sem
ator Hanna. chairman; Joseph Manley, Of
Maine; II. C. Payne, of Wisconsin; United
States Senator n. b. Scott, of West Vir-
ginia; Richard Kerens, of Missouri, and
Charles Dick. Of Ohio, the secretary of the
national committee; President Henry Burk
citizens convention committee, and a num-
ber of others. From the mayors office the
committee went to the exposition buildings.
In West Philadelphia, to inspect the audi
torium In which the convention is to be
held. All the visitors expressed their salts
faction at the selection Of the hall.
Senator Hanna, regarding the conven-
tion, said: "Of course, President Mckinley
will be renominated and without doubt he
will receive every vote in the convention,
but when it comes to choosing his running
mate and deciding on the platform there
is likely to be an abundance Of excite
ment."
The Manufacturers Club has offered the
facilities of it's building TO all of the Re-
publican national committeeman who may
be in the city during the campaign, and
also extends the same privilege TO each
delegate and alternate in attendance at the
convention.
During the conference with Mayor Ash
bridge Senator Hanna made the first state
ment which he has uttered in his capacity
as Republican national chairman on the is
sues and plans of the coming campaign.
He said: First, the national issues will be
the prosperity of the working people of the
country; second, the retention of the Phil
ippines. The Republican party is in press
ing and immediate need of funds TO carry
on the work of the campaign, and it must
be begun without moments delay. The
Democratic party has labor agitators at
work throughout the West, and the Repub-
,ican campaign committee finds it neces-
sary to meet them at every point"

FRENCH ADVANCING.


When Last Heard From.
RENSBURG. Cape Colony. Jan. g. - A
strong force of British advanced this
morning under cover of brisk artillery
fire, and encamped at Slingersfontein, on
the Beers eastern flank The Boer patrols
retired, but subsequently body of Beers
attempted to seize the position, threaten
ing communication between the British en-
campment and Rensburg. The New Zeal
anders, with brilliant dash, frustrated
the attempt. They raced and seized the
position first and fired volleys at the
enemy, who retired in the direction Of
Colesburg.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The movement OF
General French's troops in the vicinity of
Colesburg is taken to indicate the
commander In chief has recognized
the Importance OF Gen. French's objec-

bridges across the Orange river. and has

ROBERTS A FIGUREHEAD.
Kitchener to BE the Real Commander
i'm south Africa.

i'm South Africa.
LONDON, Jan. l3.-Military experts here
agree that General Lord Kitchener. the
hero of the Sudan. will be the real COM
mander-in-chief in South Africa, and that
Field Marshal Lord Roberts was sent
merely in order to inspire the troops with
confidence. This arrangement was kept
secret because OF the fact that Kitchener
IS junior TO Butler and others command
ing in South Africa. 1t is said to be the
work of Lord Salisbury himself.
Lord Salisbury believes the salvation OF
Great Britain's military system depends on
General Lord Kitchener. in whom he has
long had implicit faith. 1t has already been
planned that IL Lords Roberts and Kitch-
ener bring the campaign TO successful
termination the latter will be brought home
to honors almost equal to those Of the
Duke OF Wellington. He viii be put into
the War Office and will be given free
hand to brush away the cobwebs which
clog the British army. Lord Roberts. OF
course. will not be neglected; but then he
would be too old for such work as is out
lined for Lord Kitchener. Perhaps. before
this can be accomplished Ioru SALISBURY
viii be out OF power and Lord Kitchener
will be discredited. but on such rehabilisa-
tion by means OF young and brilliant
agent has the heart OF the British premier
been set 1t remains TO be seen whether
fate will enable him to carry it out.
Mention OF Lord Kitchener Is inseparabiy
connected with Khartum. where IL was an
nounced this week the first train from
Cairo had arrived. 1t Is learned this is not
quite correct. for there are still about 800
miles between these places on which no
railroad has been built. Until the Nile dam
IS completed IL is impossible TO construct a
road between Assuan and Wady Halfa
The way the first train load OF excursion
lists arrived al Khartum was by disembark-
Ing at Assuan into river boat. travelling

There were about two thousand people in

Rumor That Probably Refers to the
Action of Jan. q.

VIENNA, Jan. 13.-The Neue Freie Presse
to-day publishes dispatch from Brussels,
saying news has been received there from
Pretoria to the effect that the Beers have
stormed the heights all around Ladysmith.
and that the capitulation of that place is
hourly expected.
1t is possible that the news received in
Vienna by way of Brussels from Pretoria
may refer to the fighting of Saturday last.

trenches three times and were thrice driven
out at the point of the bayonet, and the
fact that the Beers occupied one British
position all day long. only being driven out

at liberty to disclose, but which, If per-
fected, will work independently of the War
Office to achieve one of the most important
British detectives.
The imperial yeomanry, after the first
flush of public applause. is being gauged
gingerly. 1t is dawning on the minds Of all
that what Great Britain wants are crack
shots and rough riders after the type of
pear pointing out that the average yeo-
man. who is a farmer. does not come UP
to this standard, while the average lord
ling, who adds brilliancy to the force, is
not generally much nearer thu mark in this
respect than his yeoman tenant; that
both have far less military training than
the members Of the volunteer force, and II
is fact that the large per cent. Of the en-
rolled imperial yeomanry have never
served even in the yeomanry. What is be-
ing forced on the War ONCE s that 100
colonials accustomed to bushwhacking and
scouting are worth 1000 English clerks and
farmers.
To find instances Of the appalling imprac-
ticability distinguishing the formation of
Great Britain's irregular corps it is only
necessary to read the list OF the kit being
taken out by the city OF London volun-
teers. The officers Of this body carry to the
plains of South Africa an air pillow, cork
mattress. canvas bedding. canvas bucket.
tin box OF candles. lantern, filter and
q host OF other imredimenta that an Ameri-
can would burn before starting on a ten
mile march. while the men are laden down
