Imnatlance In England.

London, Jan. 49,. Even the an
nouncement Of the arrival OF Field
Marshal Lord Roberts and General
Lord Kitchener at Cape Town has
failed to stem the growing impatience
OF the country at the prolonged mac
tivity in the main British camps and
the entire absence OF news giving an
adequate insight into the local situa-
tiop. The public and press being un-
able to form any just Judgment as to
the actual position Of affairs, stories
are rife that the inaction Is forced on
General Butler owing to the exhaus-
tion of reserves Of ammunition and
there are even wild rumors Of she'll
famine at home.
But not so much Importance need be
attached to these rumors. 1t Is al
most universally assumed that with
the landing of Roberts and Kitchener
prompt return will be made to the
original plan Of campaign, namely, a
great central advance on Bloemfontein,
but the most impatient of enthusiasts
admit that Roberts will be unable to
move before the end of the month.
There was rumor current in the
clubs today that battle was progress
ing at Tugela river, but nothing could
be obtained in corroboration of the re-
port.

Report Will Probably Be Ready BE.
fore February 1.
New York, Jan. ia special to
the Times frJm Washington says:
About the last Of January the Philip,
pine commission will submit their full
report to the president. President
Schurman was at the White House
Thursday TO announce that progress
was being made, and that before Feb
ruary the work of the commission will
be completed. The report made in
September was general one. in which
all the commissioners joined. In the
full report each commissioner will deal
with separate subject. That of Pres
ident Schurman is on government foI
the Philippines. He has considered
the matter fully and has discussed his
report with the president. 1t is as
sumed that such practical points as he
may offer will be brought TO the atten.
ton of the appropriate committees OF
the senate and the house.
As to the question OF again sending
q commission to the Philippines, It has
been suggested in congress by both sen.
ators and representatives that joint
commission of members might be
named for that purpose. 1t would be
very popular and also very expensive.
but it is insisted that it would be a
better way of preparing congress for
legislative action than the plan of max.
ing up commission outside of con.
gress and expecting members of both
houses to read their report after 1t had
been made In order that it may become
informed. 1t is said that special
committee of members well-known
would be more interesting and impres.

My Visit to the Old
Cemetery.

Upon entering the old GENE
terry, one of the land marks o
our town, one beholds mass o
debris. which is pitiful to gaze
upon.
1t seems very strange thai
people who have relatives in.
TERED there, should not have more
respect for their dead. than to
let their once beautiful graves
become ruins. Some of the
monuments are lovely, and the
inscriptions very odd and strik-
ing. The iron fences which en-
closed some of the lots are being
trodden on, and the stones lie in
fragments among the honey
suckle vines, with which the en-
tire place is covered Large
cavities have been dug in some
OF the stones, and a peculiar
sound is heard, as when a sea-
shell is held to the ear. There
are two monuments whose in
scriptions struck me particular
ly;one tells of the noble qualities
of woman, and the other Of a
girl ''too good to live, and too
young to die. her age being
thirteen. Most of the graves
are in such a terrible cond tn.
that on some of the monuments
the inscriptions are barely leg
ible, but 1t seems that few of
the graves are being cared for,
as the stones are white and
clean. 1t is quite curious feel
ing to know that you a.e tread
ing on graves.
1t seems that the citizens of
Canton, being such energetic
ones, would either have the
place fenced and the graves put
in order, or have the remains re-
moved to the new cemetery
where they could be cared for.
Some think tile place should be
cleared and made IA park, but
grounds which were formerly
used for burial purposes, would |
not make desirable location for
public pleasure. We hope |
that some steps will soon |
be taken, that a ground so
sacred will not be used as mere |
path.
