Frere Camp.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Winston Churchill
sends from Frere camp to The Morning
Post a long review Of the situation. He
nays:
General Butler always thought it i'm.
possible to hold the triangle of Natal
north Of the Tugela, but the initial mis-.
take was made ewing to the miscalcula-
ton Of the Boer strength and the fact
that millions worth Of stores had been
collected at Ladysmith. From the first
he regarded the relief of Ladysmith as
a forlorn hope. He did not feel justified
in ordering a subordinate to perform
such a doubtful task.
'The absence Of good maps has cost
much trouble. An attempt to thrust
the enemy back from the Brakfontein
or Doom kloof would have cost 5000
men and since at least two brigades
must
Keep tho Road Open Behind %
too much would have been left on the
way to Ladysmith. Moreover General
Butler remembers that his army is the
only army for the defense Of the rest Of
Natal. Therefore he decided to with
draw and to try elsewhere.
"Another fierce attempt will be made
to force the Tugela. Great Britain
must realize the fact that the relief Of
Ladysmith would strain an army Of
$1,000 and that 100000 men would not
be too many. The country, therefore,
must be prepared for a heavy loss and
perhaps for disappointment.
Remembering that considerations of
honor, rather than of policy demand Of
forts to relieve Ladysmith, the whole
army regards General Butler with SYM
pathy and trust us are seldom seen in
fortunate cases.

Situation Very Threatening.

The London newspapers having be-
come accustomed to checks, maintain q
hopeful tone, but the situation is much
more threatening than it seemed to be
a week ago. Evidences Of the terrible
strength and mobility of the Boer army,
together with the rumor that General
Joubert is taking the initiative with the
object Of cutting General Buffers COM
munications are in no way reassuring.
Even the most sanguine persons begin
to see that it is quite hopeless to expect
the relief of Ladysmith, as it is claimed
if it is impossible for Butler to reach
Iadysmith it is impossible for garri-
son exhausted with sickness and hard
fighting to cut its way out.
Reports from Zululand are disquiet-
ing. If the Beers should succeed in
reaching Greytown, General Butler
would be compelled to look to the de-
Tense of the eastern side of Greytown.

COMFORTING THEORY GONE

Latest Dispatches Show Buffers Move
ment Was Not q Feint.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-The latest dis
patches from the front, showing tho
reasons for General Buffers retirement
and his intention to try again, quite de-
stroy the comforting and ingenious
theory that the movement was an elab-
crate feint to facilitate the main adj
vance of Lord Roberts, theory which
found acceptance largely because of Mr..
Balfour's misleading statement to par
lament.
These seemingly useless reticences
and presentations on the part of the
government and the war Office are be-
ginning to be criticised severely.
No word has yet issued from the war
Office regarding General Buffers latest
attempt, although the correspondents
are allowed to telegraph with q fair
amount Of freedom and thus only a
partial list of casualties has been pub
ished. The dating Of messages from
Frere camp may indicate that General
Butler has withdrawn all his forces
there.

The Census.

The count of the people in the Unit
ed States will begin in all parts Of the
country June l, and end in the cities
two weeks later and in the rest of the
country before the close of the month.
The people are to be counted at their
places of residence, but as many per-
sons and families will be away from
their homes during June there is some
danger that such persons will not be
counted. If they are not counted. the
locality in which they live will be
msrepreSented to that extent, and in
some cases this misrepresentation may
be enough to affect the representation
in Congress Of the state from which
they come. Local pride and state
pride. therefore, should influence all
such absenteeS to take reasonable pre-
cautions against being omitted from
enumeration in their places Of resi-
dence. In all cases Of contemplated
absence. the head OF the family is re-
quested by the Census Office to COM
municate with the supervisor Of the
district I'M which he lives.

Jones' Views.

II. V. Jones, commercial editor OF
the Minneapolis Journal writing from
Harvey, n. ID. says of the crop situa-
ton:
''The whole country west OF the
CHEYENNE river from Enderlin to the
international boundary is as dry as a
bone. If rain does not fall this month
the wheat yield of all this part of the
state will be very light. In many
fields the ground is SO dry that the
seed has not generated, and with some
exceptions, the wheat is barely out Of
the ground.
From Minot TO Portal there has
been practically no rain this year.
One inch of snow fell week ago from
Kenmare to the boundary. This con-
stitutes the spring moisture for that
section. At the moment it is no ex-
aggeration to say that the crop pros
pect in North Dakota west OF the
Cheyenne is discouraging. 1t is early,
however, and rains withna week or
SO would save the day.
There have been scattering showers
in this Cheyenne district this week
but a soaking rain is needed. There
was a heavy shower near Balfour on
Monday that lasted fifteen minutes.
1t will help that locality, but not a
drop OF rain has fallen at Harvey.
There was shower yesterday in the
Bottineau country, but it lacked the
soaking quality.

Democrats when the news Of the deci-
sion came from Washington.
The decision means that there will be

governor next November that ever was
Anown in the commonwealth.
Beckham, as lieutenant governor, be.
came the chief executive on the death
Of Governor Goebel, Feb. 3, and under
the law can serve only until the election
of his successor at the next election. 1t
is thought that Beckham will be the
Democratic nominee and former Gov.
ernor Taylor the Republican nominee.
The election will be under the GoeDel
law, the same as last November, and
the main Republican issue will be for
the repeal of that law.

WASHINGTON, May pa few min.
utes after $3.50 p. IN. Secretary Hay re-.
ceived the three Boer delegates, unof.
fcially, in the diplomatic room. The
delegates were unaccompanied.
The conference lasted about an hour.
At the end of that time the delegates
retired. They said they had no state
ment to make.
The meeting was arranged during the
morning without difficulty, in large
part through the good offices of Gen
eral O'Bierne, who has been active in
his efforts at the state department in
behalf of the delegates. Saturday last
he submitted to the department of state
a lone statement Of the grounds upon
which the delegation should be received
and was given such encouragement
that the Beers themselves addressed the
state department directly, sending a
simple note requesting the privilege OF
appearing in person and talking with
Secretary Hay. They did not, as had
been arranged Saturday. forward their
credentials in advance.
