LONDON. April 14.-The unsatisfactory
turn that has recently marked the cam
paign against the Beers is resulting in
astonishing and sweeping criticisms by
the English papers of their own army
methods. When Butler struck a snag in
Natal, when Gen. Methuen and Gen.
Gatacre made terrible mistakes, and be-
fore British arms had secured any prog
ress, similar wave swept over the press.
But then it was directed at individuals
and chiefly confined to papers which were
willing to condescend to slang" one or
several generals. Now names are not
mentioned, but there Is widespread, deep
ly rooted conviction that the method Of
selection of British army officers is alto
gether wrong. About this conviction there
is no bitterness, nor is it based upon con-
clusions rapidly arrived at.
Our officers says the conservative,
common-sense Outlook, "are as brave as
lions, but as a rule they are stupid
The warmest champions of our regi-
mental officers" says the Saturday Re-
view, "are beginning sorrowfully to admit
that their courage often makes them
careless, and, when not negligent, they
sometimes show themselves ignorant of
their business
Vanity Fair, which formerly denounced
vigorously any such forms of criticisms,
admits sorrowfully that ''our officers
seem to play at war rather than to carry
on war. 1t is all wrong
Referring to a much commented on let
ter, written by Col. Lonsdale Hale to the
Times on this subject, in which Col. Hale
declares that constant mental strain and
incessant carefulness becomes unbearSble,
Vanity Fair says:
What of the strain that a naval officer
has to bear when he knows his ship may
be torpedoed at any minute? American
naval officers have borne that strain well.
Cannot our English soldiers bear less?"
AMERICAN POLITICS.
Not little interest is beginning to be
taken in England in politics in the United
States admiral Dewey's candidacy is
regarded rather more humorously than in
any other light. the popularity of the ad-
miral having never been quite understood
in England, nor his achievements
thoroughly appreciated by the naval or
lay circles whose attention has always
been more confined to our naval opera
tions in the West Indies than In Manila
The Spectator, which so often voices gov
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-15

ernment opinion, has lengthy and i'm
portant editorial on the relations In the
immediate future between America and
Great Britain, during which it says in
part:
"The British people will have to keep
their tempers for the next few months,
when they consider American affairs. By
rather an odd series Of circumstances it
happens that the pivot of the next cleo
tion will be the relation Of the United
States and Great Britain, and of course
In the frenzy of the campaign very hard
things will be said. Mr.. Bryan and his
supporters will perhaps pass resolutions
in the Democratic convention calling upon
the convention to intervene strongly in
behalf of President Kruger, who, either
by instinct or craftiness, always appeals
to them through literature which they
know best-the Old Testament. We shall
have shower of hard words from their
side, and even difficult and perplexed
arguments to maintain through Lord
Pauncefote.
"And, too, we shall not be very strenu-
ously defended by the Republicans Pres
ident Mckinley will persist in his policy
and carry his party with him, but still
he is the American candidate for the
presidency, and cannot bear, with the
second term at stake, to lose vote Mr.
Mckinley therefore and the Republican
leaders will do nothing to show them
selves friends of Great Britain"
The statement that the senate will not
ratify the Hay-Pauncefote convention
this year has created little comment.
Those who maintain that England had
given something for nothing in the Mic
aragua agreement express pleasure and
hope that it will never be ratified, while
those who supported the convention ac-
cept the postpenement of action as the
most advisable step, in view OF political
conditions in the United States.

Defender of Ladysmith Given a
Wildly Enthusiastic Greeting.

Defender of Ladysmith Given a
Wildly Enthusiastic Greeting.
LONDON, April 14-The scene which
greeted Gen. Sir George Stewart White
when the steamer Dunvegen Castle, on
which he left Cape Town, March g.
reached southampton this afternoon,
must have convinced him of the admira-
ton of his countrymen for his gallant de-
fense of Ladysmith during the long and
trying siege of that place. From early
morning crowds collected by thousands in
the neighborhood of the docks. The build.
ings in the vicinity were gaily decorated
with bunting in honor of the occasion, and
all the public institutions were covered
with flags. The harbor presented bril-
liant and animated scene, the various ves-
sells having dressed ship and the Dun
Vegan Castles berth at the wharf being
resplendent with bunting and evergreens
There Lady White, the mayor and the
members of the corporation in their state
robes, uniformed soldiers and sailors and
a number of privileged guests awaited the
gallant defender of Ladysmith.
AS the steamer loomed up in the dis
tance, with Gen. White standing on the
bridge, the enthusiasm of the waiting
multitude broke loose, and q storm of
cheering and singing and the sounding of
syrens and whistles intermingled unin-
terruptedly until Sir George landed at 2:30
p. m.
The greeting between husband and wife
being over, Gen. White had to undergo
much handshaking, and the receiving Of
congratulations from personal friends be-
fore he reached the dock she'd where the
municipal authorities presented him with
an elaborately Illuminated address of well
come, expressing profound admiration at
his noble and successful efforts to up
hold and maintain the honor and dignity
of the empire in distant Natal, which
have won the lasting admiration of the
civilized world"
A suitable reference was made to ira
lands connection with. the defense of
Ladysmith, and regret was expressed that
Gen. Whites health had been impaired
by the strain Of the siege and that he had
been obliged to seek rest. The address
concluded by expressing the hope that he
would soon be completely restored to
health and able to resume the distinguish
ed task with, which the queen and country
had charged him.
During the reading of the address the
huge crowds in the vicinity seized every
occasion to hurrah. and the enthusiasm
was indescribable. Hats, handkerchsefs fs

Through Lines TO Memphis and Little
Rock.

1t is expected by those who have
been watching railroad movements
in North Arkansas that the line will
be pushed to the southeast from
Harrison to junction with the Lit
tie Rock Northern survey at Wiley's
Cove, south OF Marshall, in Searcy
county, and thence to Bald Knob
where connection will be made
with the Iron Mountain. This
would give thorough line to Mem
phis as well as a line to Little Rock.
There is, of course, much specula-
ton in this theory, but it is made
plausible by the topography OF the
country. as well as the general
movements of surveying corps.
With direct line into Memphis, as
well as into Little Rock via the
Little Rock Northern branch, the
resources OF North Arkansas could
be handled and developed in a much
larger scale than by spur such as
terminal in the mineral country
would give. 1t is naturally to be ex-
pected that railroad managers. who
do things on large sealein order TO
achieve the greatest results, have
planned about such a system. 1t is
feasible, practicable, and is known
to have been in contemplation for
some time.-Eureka Echo.
