SOUTH AFRICA.

1t is evident that the Beers are re-
covering from the first blow struck by
Lord Roberts, which resulted in the
surrender of General Cronje. The delay
in advancing is regarded as unaccount-
able in London, but it is undoubtedly
explainable by the necessity of accum-
ulating large stores, and getting to-
gether an enormous transport.
The plans of Lord Roberts are, of
course, very secret--that has ever been
the keynote of his success. During the
long wait that has taken place since
the occupation of Bloemfontein, the old
general has certainly not been idle.
After his arrival at the Cape, it will be
remembered that nothing could be
heard of either his movements or Lord
Kitchener's, and then came suddenly a
series of brilliant movements. So, also,
years ago he was not heard of for over
a month, and then he came out with a
brilliant victory. Knowing Lord Rob-
erts' previous career there is no reason,
because of his apparent inaction to
think that he is not preparing some
move. ..l
| Lord Wolseley, who is thoroughly
conversant with Lord Roberts plans,
has stated that he expects him to be
in Pretoria by May IS. In predictions
of this sort Lord Wolseley has been sin
gularly successful, but the proverb says
the pitcher goes often to the well, but
gets broken at last, and it may be that
in spite of his accuracy in previous
campaigns, and even in the forecast for
the entry of Bloemfontein he may mis-
calculate entirely about Pretoria.
The minor engagements do not
amount to anything. The serious mat
ter is whether the Beers will be in force
enough in the south to cut off commu-
nications. This seems doubtful, but
there is the possibility of considerable
damage done to the permanent way.
But at this distance with the meager re-
ports it is hard to form any definite
idea of what is going on.

The Board of Health, through the
Foreign Office, is taking care of our re-
lations with Sydney, and the Warrimoo
took down notice that as strict a quar-
as against ports in China and Japan,
which are infected with plague. There
certainly seems a great deal of laxness
about the bills of health of vessels COM
ing from Sydney, The Canadian-Aus-
tralian steamers have behaved towards
this port, while it had the plague, in a
most hysterical manner, but with
plague in Sydney they seem not to be
in the least alarmed, and to neglect the
most ordinary precautions.

allowed to carry them out, have been
the starting point of a regenerated
China.
1t is not surprising that the reforms
proposed by the Emperor and the re-
forming party of China should have met
with violent opposition. China is eaten
up with a greedy official class, and the
fact that the Yamens of Pekin we're
turned into schools and that the offic-
ials, who presided over these petty
courts of extortion, were dismissed nat
urally aroused not only their animosity,
but that of the higher officials, who
began to fear for their places. IT was
not difficult for these elements to COM
bine and bring about the celebrated
coup d'etat of last August.
The course of those who are now at
the head of Chinese affairs is decidedly
anti-foreign, and IL is likely to be
marked by tyranny and cruelty, not
only towards the reforming party, for
whose blood the Empress Dowager pos
itively thirsts, but towards all foreign
ers in the country who are outside the
armed prOteCtlOn OF the various govern
ments. That the reformers may be
ready to take up arms is true, and
that the civil war which is now looming
on the political horizon will be a san

al in China is imminent, is patent to
any observer of fairs in the Far East.
The trouble, as far as the Chinese are
concerned, is that the for

1t is to be hoped that the Council OF
State will reconsider the item of a sub
sidy towards the Home for Incurables.
The sentiment of a large majority is in
favor of it, and had there been a full
attendance of the Council, the item
would most probably have been passed.
AS pointed out by a correspondent In
The Star of last Saturday, in very
able putting forward of an argument in
favor of passing the item, the Vic
toria Hospital for Incurables is a
case of emergency, while some fifty or
sixty items in the bill can certainly not
come under that category The rapid
spread of consumption, and the neces-
sity for having a home where people
in it's last stages can be isolated, and
the number of other incurables VINO
have no place to die, has appealed to
private charity all over the group, and
should appeal to the members of the
Council of State. 1t is to be hoped that
it will this afternoon.

THE CHINESE EMPEROR.

A letter from the secretary of legation
at Pekin. gives a very different idea of
the Chinese Emperor, to that which is
accepted by a number of people. Ac-
cording to Mr.. cambridge, the diplo-
matist in question, the Emperor Kwang
Hsu is not only no imbecile or puppet,
but he is a man of remarkable mind
with the interest of his people thor
Oughly at heart. Certainly Mr.. Balm
bridges evidence is of great weight, for
he has seen the Emperor personally,
and has lived in Pekin during all the
recent events.
The wonder about the Emperor is
that his intellect has carried him for
ward on the path of reform in spite of
his surroundings. Everything in his
bringing up would tend to narrow him,
but he was able to overcome the dwarf
ing elements and to take in the theories

make the bill operate upon vehicles
constructed prior to June 30, 1898, until
the first day of July, 1901. The authori-

Senator Hanna gives the real
reasons for McKinley's election in a
statement to the press. He says the
people were overwhelmingly in favor
of sound money, law and order and a
continuation Of prosperity, and that
patriotism and loyalty TO the flag were
also strong factors in the campaign.
These are certainly most excellent
reasons for ~re-electing the man whose

The talk of Mark Hanna for presi-

titled 10 securing the nomination and

The issue of the Helena Herald OH
the day following the eaection says
THAT Senator Carter has beer rebuked
by the people," Tle Herald lays the
blame for defeat upon the shoulders
of Senator Garter, which is certainly
an injustice 10 that gentleman. Ac-
cording to the Herald the state repub-
lican ticket would have been elected
had ii not lRen for the fact that Sen
ator Carter refused to take up and
answer certain dirty campaign lies
made against him by the fusion party
of which the Herald is a member.
Since the Helena Herald attributes
the defeat OF the republican state
ticket TO Senator Carriers attitude in
the campaign we would like to ask
the Herald III it thinks Senator Carter
is responsible for the defeat of the Nc
Kinley electoral ticket in the state ?
Montana four years ago gave the Bryan
ticket in the state a majority of more
than 81, 000 votes. The election this
year gives to that ticket a majority OF
less than 10, 600 and the fusion demo-
cratie-p opulist ticket is elected with
an average majority of less than 5000
votes. II would, therefore, appear ii
the charges Of the Herald against SEN
afOr Carter for the Loss of the republlr
can state ticket are worth considering
at all then the same argument would
apply against Senator Carter for the
defeat of the presidential ticket in the
state. Does the Herald sos the point,
or is il SO thoroughly welded To the
fusion democracy and Mr., Clark that
II declines to even look occasionally
through republican glasses? Certainly
no argument was ever made IN the
state by republicans that the Maxim
ley ticket should be defeated because
Senator Carter had been closely ideAtl'

MARCUS, DAILY.

BY the death of Marcus DAILY the
state loses one of its most prominent
citizens and the toilers in the mines.
Notwithstanding all the talk to the
contrary heard in the recent campaign,
one of their staunehest friends. Mr..
DAILY, although Of foreign birth, was
ensimently a western man and in his
passing sway the west, that is the far
west, is robbed OF one of the men who
have contributed so much to its great
ness and prosperity. Only the west
can produce men of his type, for only
i'll the west can men of his mould at
tain prominence; the opportunities
and the field for the display OF their
genius lies in the mountains, in the
land Of minerals. Unrelenting as a
foe. he was kindness itself to his
friends. Plain, ontspoken, often blunt,
ness lay a nature gentle as that of a
child. While it is true that he had
ensmies-many of them-they were
outnumbered by his friends and as the
news of his death is read genuine wall
be the expressions of regret it will
canss, especially among the Ioor and
unfortunate, for he was their best
friend. 1t YVES among the t~oilers,
from whose ranks he rose, that he
was the most popular and whose
friendship he seemed to prize above
that of those among whom his great
wealth ia later life threw him.
