The London newspapers, having be
come accustomed to ,leck5. maintain a
hopeful tone. but the situation is much
more threatening than it seemed to be
week ago. Evidences of the terrible
strength aad mobility OF the Boer ar my
together with the rumor that Gen. Jou.-
bert is taking the initiative with the OBJ

cations are in no way reassuring. Even
the most sanguine persons begin to see
that it is quite hopeless to expect the re-
lief of Ladysmith, as it is claimed that if
it is impossible for Butler to reach Lady
smith, it is impossible for a garrison ex-
haustel with sickness and harsfighting
to cut its way out.
Reports from Zululand are disquieting.
IL the Beers should succeed in reaching
Greytown, Gen. Butler would be com
PEELED to look to the defence Of the east

The fact that Lord Roberts was at
Modder River on Friday seems to show
that he has been on round of inspec-
ton of the chief commands and that the

suspected.

Attorneys for Indians.

While the Indian officials have for
some years been opposed to the presence
IN Washington OF attorneys representing
various Indian tribes, they assert that in
some cases itsis desirable for the Indians
TO nave such representation, and they
differ with Secretary Hitchcock, of the
interior department., who is oppose to
the idea as a general proposition It Is
claimed there are cases Wnare it is fer
ohe best interests of the Indians to have
legal representa- but it is admitted
that such cases are few. Secretary
Hitchcock has taken very determined
stand III opposition to the retention of
the attorneys, on the ground that the
cost to the Indians OF keeping such
representatives here is far in excess Of
the value OF the services rendered. He
has carried out this policy so far by re-
iusIng to approve contracts made be-
tween a num"er OF tribes and their at
torneys, notably between Col. John A.
King and Il band OF the Sioux in South
Dakota, and Willie Campbell the half

The sugar beet enterprise has been
much mooted of late in this city and
