1t seemed as though the limits of depres-
sion had been reached when Sir Redvers
Butler was hurled back in his attempt to
cross the Tugela on December Is Rage
and fear then gave way before grim deter
mination to send Butler more men. send
Roberts and Kitchener out and try all over
again. But this second defeat of Butler is
being taken seriously to heart People seem
stupefied. Some time ago / said to we'll
informed Englishman that 10000 troops
would be needed in South Africa, and he
smiled at my ignorance. 1 saw him again
a couple of days ago, and all he could do
was to shake his head and say, It's bad
business"
At the same time the determine ton is no
less to beat the Beers, and with all his will
full ignorance of other people outside his
tight little isle," it is the Briton's pluck
that makes us love him. He has a number
of disagreeable qualities. but his pluck is
magnificent. No one can venture to say
now what will be done.
Future of Ladysmith.
The retreat of Gen. Butler will impose on
Lord Roberts reconsideration of the mill
itary problem. Butler has still army Of
upward of 10000 men with him; but this
force. it is evident. is not sufficient to ena-
bic him to carry out a thanking movement
for the relief of Ladysmith. 1t is amply
sufficient to hold the Boer forces in check,
and to prevent them making any advance
south of the Tugela. The question which
Lord Roberts and his advisers will have to
decide is whether Ladysmith is to be left
to its fate whether another attempt
should be made to relieve 1t with a larger
force. Ladysmith probably hold out
for another month, though the withdrawal
of the British advance will greatly increase
the pressure on the unfortunate garrison.
If it is determined to leave Ladysmith to
its fate. a large force will no doubt con-
centrate for an advance into the Orange
Free State. If. however. Ladysmith be
abandoned, the country will be profoundly
moved and indignant. The equalization of
5000 or 5000 British troops will he an
event unpa ralleled in British history since
Saratoga and Yorktown, and L should not
be surprised If the government responsible
for such disaster were overthroWn. 1t
will be the greatest military humiliation
suffered by the country in the century. and
an angry and indignant public may drive
from office the men responsible for it. The
failure of Gen. Butler will add additional
interest to the meeting of parliament. and
give an accumulated force to the vote Of
censure which the opposition are to move.

A MILLIONA,DRS' COMBINE.
The New Carnegie Steel Company
CnnitniiNcd at SIOO,OOO. 900.

Pittsburg. March 24.-All the par
ties interested in the great Carnegie
Frick controversy were in attendance
in the board room of the Carnegie
Steel company from II o'clock yester
day forenoon until nearly 5 o'clock
the evening, and as result it is state
authoritatively that not only have a
matters of difference been settled and
adjusted, but that the separate and dis
tinct amounts which each party is to
receive from the great combined capi-
tai has been agreed upon. The charter
of the Carnegie company has been
signed by all the parties in interest,
some SO in all, and the three first
names in the certificates are Andrew
Carnegie, followed by Henry Phipps,
Jr., and Henry Clay Frick, thus indi-
eating to the world that the old friends
and recent ligitants are again united
and standing together heading the list
Of those interested in the combined
industries to be represented by the
Carnegie company, with its capital OF
s160 600, 900 and its securities amount
ing to perhaps rs much more.
Pittsburg, therefore, has the credit Of
organizing tne greatest corporation
that the United States has ever known,
if not the world, in that it starts out
with s160,000,000 of stock subscribed
for, over the signatures of SO men
who are fully able to respond to their
subscription for this vast sum. OF
this amount Andrew Carnegie sub
scribed over SSO,OOO,OOO, Henry Phipps,
Jr., about $1S,000,000 Henry c. Frick
about S16OOO,OO0, Charles NJ Schwab
about $1S,000,000 and Francis T. f.
Lovejoy about SS,000,00O The rest are
in scattering amounts, although the
list is said to contain, and certainly
represents, in the neighborhood of 20

An Invitation
To Women

All the world knows Of the wonder
ful cures which have been made by
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is absO-
lutely true.
II all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
draggingdown sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma-
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck heal tn.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and contidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf-
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
OF Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,

They are little diStrustful of us"
