JdDYSMITH NOU,

Joy and serenity mark the counte-
 nance of the British lion over England's $
 new triumph in the surrender of Lady
 smith and Butler who has had hard | luck and a tremendously hard task up till now in storming kopjes and tackling the sturdy Boers in various almost in- accessible places and at corresponding
 disa advantages, comes in at last for
 share of the laurels. There is joy in
 London and corresponding depression at Bloemfontein and Pretoria. The over the new victory as when Cronjes
 surrender was announced for the sim
 pie reason that Lord Roberts triumphs at Kimberly and Paardeburg broke the gloom and darkness which had settled down over British hopes owing to an almost unbroken succession of defeats. General Buffers dispatch to Great Britains authorities shows that relief for Ladysmith came none too soon, as the supply of food for the garrison had run very tow and the men were living partly on horse and mule meat. But the result is kaleidoscopic change in the outlook for the British arms. Ja- cobsdaal, Kimberly, Paardeberg, Lady smith,-this is splendid record of achievement In the brief period since Lord Roberts took the field in the West and Butler reorganized his beaten forces in the East for a do or die cam paign. Buffers victory came all the more welcome to Great Britain as the news of only the night before showed Butler as gaining very slowly and con- inch by inch against his brave and stubborn foe Roberts brilliant vic tories contributed to render Buffers battering of the Boers the more effective as no doubt many of the Beers before Ladysmith had been detached to go to the defense of Bloemfontein; but Bull lers pounding, costly in men, was jus tified by the result, achieved at last, with fresh honor to the British arms General Whites most gallant and stub born defense of Ladysmith adds also an- other chapter to history most honorable to England and which will invest his name with an unfading historic inter- pSt

TyfE CJRR ENCY RTLT.

As will be seen by our dispatches,
 next Tuesday has been set for the &C.,
 tion of the Senate on the conference re-
 port on the Currency bill,--a bill vital
 in importance in reference to the well-
 being of our countrys finances. The
 sentiment of the country on the dues- tion of the gold standard has been set tied by the majority of the peoples rep resentatives in Congress. Bryan may be renominated and again make a spec tacular campaign throughout the States in another endeavor to get into the
 White House, but his guns are spiked and his silver rhodomontade has become a back number with the American peo- pie and amounts only to words words, words" The new Currency bill may have some defects, particularly the fea- ture in reference to continuing the bonded debt indefinitely, but it's whole some, far-reaching benefit upon our finances is unquestionable. The logic of  events regarding the free silver theory prepared the way for the action to be taken by Congress, and that body's com- ing disposition of the question merely reflects the most enlightened public sen timent on the subject There is another element of the pending measure which Is sharply criticised as menacing an un- due imitation of the bank circulation, but this claim is generally secuted by the officials of the national banks, who say that the contemplated addition to the circulation will not be extensive enough to do any harm, and will, on the contrary. be a public benefit The banks which have the convertible bonds on de-

COTTON IND WH EAT.

1 Cotton is king in the South to a considerable extent this year, and the
 prosperity of the South is magnlhed | thereby and it's wealth increased. The West has had two banner years for it's wheat and corn crops, and prosperity sits enthroned in that section and the farmers have been paying off their
 mortgages and buying pianos and more
 agricultural instruments, more horses and cows, and more carriages. It is too early yet to size up the question as to what this winters wheat crop will be,
 but Wall street, ever alert, hears ru-
 mors of damage to the crop here and
 there. A question of interest, to the
 West in particular and to the country
 at large, is the alleged possibility that
 the opening up of Siberia to trade will
 have a disastrous effect upon the for
 eign market for the American wheat
 crop Travellers, however, find that Si-
 bera is not one vast mass of ice and
 snow and barren desert, as was once
 conjectured They find instead vast
 areas of the most fertile soil in the
 world, with a climate mild and equable
 and admirably adapted to husbandry.
 Siberia is vast region covering one- quarter of Aeia's tremendous area, and is half again as large as Canada. But the belief has got abroad somehow that Siberia is destined to be the granary of the world and big competitor in other products with other nations. Speaking on this subject, the Chicago Times-H Her. aid says:
 What will be the effect upon Ameri- can commerce of the opening to the world of these vast forests of lumber and wheat producing areas? It is averred that the completion of Siberia's great railway will make Siberia for- competitor with Canada for timber, with England for iron and coal and other metals, with Egypt, the Unit ed States, Hungary and Australia for wheat with China and Japan for tea, which grows well in many Siberian dis tricts, and with all the lands of the earth in many different, products.
 'tAccording to the reports of William Bunker, who Is just returning from Siberian trip in the interest of the San Francisco Chamber of Con- merce, this apprehension that Siberia will become serious competitor of the United States In wheat and lumber is not based upon accurate Knowledge of products. Mr. Bunker claims that the Siberian wheat is so inferior in grade that it can never seriously men ace the American product. The seed the first year in Siberian soil He also found that the trees of | 1er vast forests are small and that most | ,f her lumber comes from Puget Sound. | It is his belief that the road will open up markets for American manufactured | products so valuable that the threaten | ed competition in the matter of wheat | s inoonsequential and not worthy of | serious consideration. As a matter of | 'act the United States has already SUD- piled the bulk of the material for the of the road"

That is, we borrow from the future eleven minutes each year for ninety nine years, and rather more than pay them back in three centurial years by having no leap years, and on the fourth
 centurial year even matters up again
 by having leap year. The borrowing
 and paying back, under Pope Gregory's rule. are so we'll balanced that there is an error of one day in 3323 years; when
 that period has elapsed, the legal year will be one day behind the solar year.
 How the New York Tribune puts it regarding the Porto Rico problem is in part as follows: "Ot course, the op- position will make great outcry about
 the selfshness and the brutality of the bill They will also continue to charge that the abandonment of the original scheme for Porto Rican free trade was dictated by sinister motives. But the simple fact is, as MT. Grosvepor stated, that when the bill was first in- trodueed it was supposed by many that nothing was involved except the bene- fits which might accrue to the people of Porto Rico from free trade, but it developed in the discussion that much else was involved. The future ihterpre- tation of the constitution was involved, The whole question of governing dist ant possessions according to their needs rather than the laws made to suit our own was involved And this was only slowly realized" The Tribune "also takes satisfaction in the belief that the bill which passed the house yesterday will give to Porto Rico immediately re- lief and early prosperity. The duties levied are so nearly nominal as to be no barrier to commerce. Probably not a pound of freight less will go either way between tho United States and Porto Rico than if absolute free trade were accorded"

FASHION NOTES.
Neckwear That's VaIue.

Novelties in neck arrangements and fronts are a constant output. Taffeta scarfs with neck piece only slightly stiff fened and with scarfs widening to a hemstitched edge, are very pretty in both white and black. They are tied "once-over" or ascot, and may be worn over a linen collar or over stiffened neck band The band need not be un- comfortably high. Hemstitching is wonderfully elaborated and is voted one of the most exclusively fashionable of the many nedle-work effects. Nowhere does it show more prettily than in neck wear. Little narrow scarfs of crepe de chine with fringed ends come with fold- ed girdle with fringed ends to match, Silk in Persian design and handkerchief square is folded and scarfed about the neck. This is sure to be pretty notion for wear with the coming summer shirt

Another brilliant event in the history of that fine old New Haven military or ganization, the Second Company Gov ernor's Foot Guard, was the dinner last night at the Tontine given by the com pany in celebration of it's one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary.

The month of February went out yes- terday, notwithstanding the fact that the year 1900 is divisible by four. Under the ordinary rule, this would be leap year, and the month should have twen- ty-nine days. The explanation is some
 what familiar, but it is worth repeating. When Pope Gregory XIII. reformed the Julian calendar. he found that the legal year was ten days behind the solar year, so he ordered that the day after October 3, 1882, should be October 14. And to prevent the legal year getting so far behind the solar year again, he ordered, further, that thereafter the centurial years which could not be di- vided by 400 should not be leap years.
