Special Correspondence.
The canny Scot has improved
considerably in his methods the
past three or 7ur hundred years,
but he still retains many Of his
earlier characteristics. The cas-
ties, the rocky Businesses, the
caves, the inaccessible islands,
to which 1t was his wont to retire
in the good old days when his
chief occupation was to descend
upon the demesnes of his neigh
Dor and carry off his ilocks and
herds, are now harmless and
picturesque spots, to see which
people cross the seas, deprive
themselves of many comforts,
undergo some hardships, and
leave in their track a stream Of
gold far more valuable than all
the flocks and herds that were
ever the booty of the midnight
foray. Instead of subjecting his
immediate neighbors to pillage,
instead of laying his enemy un-
der tribute, he now goes out after
the gold Of the world, and treats
friend and foe alike. This Scot,
this hard headed, willed
tenacious, indomitable, persever-
ing Scot, has builded here in the
north of Scotland two of tie
finest cities in the world. I have
not yet seen on this side of the
Atlantic a city that can compare
with Glasgow in all the elements
OF commercial activity and man.
ufacturing progress. 1t is said
to be the second city in Great
Britain second only to London,
but find it difficult to believe
that even V4pn&'o SAP, ssSrnass ii
except in the matter of popula-
ton. Right here in Glasgow are
men, the descendants of the race
celebrated in the songs and stor.
les of that matchless writer, Sir
Walter Scott, who had developed
such craftin commercialism that
the whole world is under tribute
to them. Why, the very shirt |
have on at this moment was
manufactured in Glasgow-and
very likely from cotton produced
in Arkansas. Think Of that, in
telligent reader, and you will de-
gin to appreciate the tremendous
energy and keen sighted intelli-
gence Of the Scot. With all our
boasted progress, has he not out
stripped us? He buys cotton in
Arkansas, brings it over here,
manufactures it into cloth, and
there is nothing but cotton in the
shirt | wear, returns it to Amer
lea, where a wholesaler sells it to
a retailer and a retailer sells it to
me. A round about way, isn't
it, to get 2 shirt? And the Scot
is growing rich at this business.
And here in Edinburgh, the
quaintest and prettiest city !
have ever seen, without axoept-
ion, with its old and new institu-
tons Of learning, its collections
OF art treasures, its splendid
monuments, its beautiful squares
and parks and terraces, we have

growth and achievement. |

is very forlorn, up there in the
mountain country, the High
lands, with flocks of grey sheep,
and herds of shaggy cattle and
little stunted ponies, and brown
mountain sides, and flinty crags,
and soft mOOrs, but when you
get further south you find a
splendid country. The battle

plains that stretch away on all
sides from Stirling Castle are
rich with the verdure of fine
crops of corn and oats and beans
and flax. The divisions are not
as small as over in Ireland,
while the squalid cottage has en-
tirely disappeared, indicating a

Seems to be Only a Matter of a
Few Hours and May Have
Been Accomplished
Already.
THERE IS MUCH WORRY
Over the Fact That Buffers Dispatches
Have Not Been Given Out by the
War Office-Three Joint Move
mentS Are Planned.

London, Jan. 15.-Up to the present, the
| reported crossing Of the Tugela river by
General Warren's division remains but a
rumor. Nevertheless. the whole tenor OF
such news as has been dribbled in from
South Africa during the last forty-eight
hours indicates that combined forward
movement Of a comprehensive character
is proceeding.
It is not necessary to believe uncon-
f1rmed stories of Beers being in full re-
treat from Colenso, because it has been
learned that the column is proceeding
via Weenen to Helpmaaker to cut off
their retreat, but at the same time cred
liable information from many sources
indisputably point to momentous
changes in the disposition Of the repub-
lies forces.
Advices from Pietermaritzburg, dated
January 13, say that since their defeat
on January the Beers have been re-
moving their guns from positions south
of Ladysmith. The same dispatch con-
firms the report that the Thirteenth
Hussars reached Groblerskloof without
meeting the Beers. AS the trenches at
position held by the burghers. their va
cation has considerably astonished the
British.
Merchants at Pietermaritzburg have
received messages from Ladysmith, say
ing: Bring up JAM" etc., indicating
that Ladysmith agents anticipated the
immediate opening of communication
while Ladysmith also photographed the
belief prevalent there on January 18th
that the Beers We're moving and concen-
trating their forces elsewhere.
AS corroborative of British activity in
the direction of the relief of Ladysmith,
a dispatch has been received in London
from Butler to the effect that he. expected
all dispositions for synchronous move
ment of various columns against the be-
siegers would be completed this morn
ing. Under these circumstances it is
considered quite probable the advance
on the beleaguered town has commenced
and that fighting is progressing. Opti-
mists go so far as to say it is expected
Ladysmith will be relieved tonight If all
goes well.
Military men are divided in opinion as
~ WuctuCt Dullef Is at SDfl0RnolO or
personally directing the flank movement
from Weenen. The officials are inclined
to credit the report that the British have
crossed the Tugela river in that direc-
tion. although there is no confirmation
of the report. and altogether there is a
more hopeful feeling in official circles,
There is little news of Importance from
elsewhere. Frenchs forces have sue
ceeded in dragging 15-pounder to the
summit of a steep rocky coleskop. a
thousand feet above the surrounding
plain. and they successfully routed a
Boer camp three miles away from Storm
stroom.
An interesting item Of news is that
300 Beers. escorting a party of reapers.
have successfully gathered all the crops
within two miles of the colonial camp at
Bird river. the British force being too
