A CRISIS IMPENDING.
Butler WIN Probably Make an Advance
Movement Today or Tomorrow.


NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--A dispatch Il
the Tribune from London, says:
The clubs were crowded last evening
until midnight since there was gen
erai impression that the crisis, Of the
war had come with battle impending
ON the TugAla. This feeling of sus-
pense was strengthened by bullstins
reciting vigorous shelling OF the Boer
trenches yesterday morning with lyd-
dite and the destruction Of intrench-
menis with minor incidents such as
the shifting Of the enemy's positions.

slant outpost duty.
In the newspaper offices there was a
sheaf of important dispatches relating
to the adventures of Thorneycrowt's
scouts on the upper Tugela. Admis-
sions OF Boer deserters. that General
Joubert's army was suffering from
lack of food, the trial Of the traction
engine for transport service. the de-
struction Of large gun al Colenso by
shell from naval gun and the es-
cape Of six horsaman from Ladysmith
during a thunderstorm, two Of whom
wenc Enthusiastically reported as Dr.
Jameson and Colonel Rhodes. These
were trifles light as air in comparison
with the tremendous conflict which
was known to be Imminent.
General Butler, since his defeat, has
called into Natal every battalion and
battery upon which he could hy his
hands and has stiffened his force in
every way practicable for a supreme
effort to break through the Boer line
of defense and relieve Ladysmith
Even the stoutest hearted Englishmar
has been constrained to hold his breath
until the issue Of the battle is known.
Public anxiety has not been deeper
than the feeling of suspense among
military men. They have described
the Boer defensive position, 16 miles in
length. with relays of horses behind
It, by which the forces could be rapidly
concentrated at any point thai might
be strongly attacked. as something
unique in military history. There
never was anything like it and ordin-
airy tactics and strategy studied by
the staff college have provided no ex-
pedients fG regulating a scientific at

southern bank and the extension of
their line until 1t was hardly practical
Bile to turn it, and the remarkable mo-
bility of the Dutch force has increased
the difficulties of most formidable
enterprise. The most thoughtful vet
Grams have added that, while this new
defensive system with long range guns
in concealed trenches and thousands Of
horses under saddle has been success
full when attacked at the point Of
least resistance, it might prove weak
and vulnerable at the point Of last
resistance. The Bosrs, adapting them
selves to British tactics, had devised
a most ing snious scheme Of defense.

Mr.. Cooper is shrewd manipula-
tor and forcefu1 factor in Populist
and Democratic politics. The
change will no doubt be made if
a fusion is effected. It is also re-
ported that the Democratic friends
of Governor Steunenberg are labor
ing strenuously with Judge Wal
lace to induce him to come off the
Populist ticket where he stands as
a candidate for Attorney General.
Thd object in having Mr.. Wallace
withdraw is to, in any event, give
Frank Martin the advantage of a
clear field against the Republican
nominee. As an inducement, local
Democrats agree to give Wallace a
place on the county ticket. He is
disposed to listen to these blandish-
ments, but fears the wrath of the
Populists in case his action would
not meet their approval. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Wallace has a
longing for the Office of county at
torney, but Mr.. J. c. Rice, his
friends say, yearns in the same di-
rectlon, and Rice is no doubt the
stronger man. Wallace might be
satisfied with Probate Judge, but
he fears that a nomination for that
Office would be as empty an honor
as the one he now has if Ex-Judge
George Little should turn up as his
opponent on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. c. R. Shaw is in training for
a nomination on the Democratic
or fusion ticket for State Senator
while Jake Horn, it is said, would
be glad to sit as representative in
the lower house. Capt. Wells is
also suspected of benevolent DESIGNS
ON the legislature.

warm friend of Governor Steuuen-
berg would no doubt be acceptable
to his followers. He has an excel.
lent record in the volunteer service
which would bring support to the

SITUATION IN CHINA.

While up to the present time full
information has not been received
respecting the situation in China
enough has been learned to clearly
indicate that the Chinese govern
ment is in league with the Boxers
and is playing game of duplicity
almost unparalleled for infamy. To
the allied nations the Chinese gov
ernment is pretending that it is do
ing all in its power to restrain the
Boxer forces which are attacking
and murdering members of the
various foreign legations, while in
fact it is encouraging and applaud
ing all the infamies perpetrated.
DR.. George Ernest the Pekin cor
respondent of the London Times
telegraphed August 2, as follows;
'"The tsung-i-yamen forwarded to
Sir Claude Macdonald a copy of a
dispatch telegraphed by the en-
peror to Queen Victoria, attributing
all deeds of violence to bandits and
requesting her majesty's assistance
to extricate the Chinese govern
ment out or the difficulty. The
queens reply is not stated, but the
Chinese minister at Washington
telegraphs that the United States
would gladly assist the Chinese au-
thorities. This dispatch to the
queen was sent to the tsung- li-ya-
men by the grand council on July

ed;ct had been issued calling onthe
Boxers to continue to render loyal
and patriotic services in extermin-
ating the Christians. The ed1ct
also commanded the viceroys and
governors to expel all missionaries
from China and to arrest all Christ
ians and compel them to renounce
their faith. Other DEGREES, APP
plauding the Boxers, speak approx
ingly Of their burning out and STAY
ing converts. Their leaders are
stated in decree to be princes and
ministers. On July IS another de-
cree made complete vote face, due
to the victories of the foreign troops
at Tien Tsin. In this decree, for the
first time and one month after the
occurrence, an al1usisn was made to

attributed to the action of loyal
brigands, although there is no
doubt that it was premeditated and
that the assassination was commit
ed by an imperial officer, as the
survivor, Herr Cordes, can testify.
The force besieging the legations
consists of the imperial troops under
General Tung Lu and General Tung
Fuh Slang, whose gallantry is ap-
plauded in imperial DEGREES, al
though it has consisted in lombard
ing forone month defenseless women
and children in the legation,

nese throughout, with characteristic
treachery posted proclamations as

We hate to see a great body of
American citizens weeping and
wailing just for the fun of the thing.

THINK 1T OVER.

Democratic papers are wrathfully
quoting the following sentence
from one of Governor Roosevelt's
speeches:
"The Democratic party stands
for dishonesty and dishonor, for IL
cense and disaster at home and
coward1y shrinking from duty
abroad" They are Indignantly op-
posing to that arraignment the
fact that Lawton, Dewey, Schley
and Wheeler are Democrats, and
asking, "were those men dishonest
at home and towards abroad?"
And they are bitterly denouncing
Roosevelt for his shameless and un-
warranted attack on, those men.
1t is unfortunate that the Demo-
Gratis should point to Lawton, Dew
ey and Wheeler as the peculiar
victims of Roosevelt's structures.
Every ore of these eminent heros
has given his unqualified approval
to the Republican administrations
policy in the Philippines. Every
one of them has stood, and Lawton
to the moment of his death did
stand as the others now stand,
squarely with President Mckinley.
In view Of these we'll known facts,
it is pleasing to read the following
patriotic criticism published in the
Salt Lake Herald, the first Demo-
cratic organ of the inter Mountain
region:
Speaking of his Philippine war,
Mr.. Mckinley says: mot blow
has been struck except for liberty
and humanity" That was what
Cortez said when he invaded Mex
leo. And Pizarro entered Peru
with the same sentiment, only adj
ding that he was striking also for
Christianity. Weyler, the Span
ish butcher, whose atrocities in Gu
ba brought us into conflict with
Spain, declared that he was merely
trying to subdue the people for
their own good" And he ex-
planned that the only way to rule
such people was by force; that the
only way to keep peace was by
slaughter; that the only way to in
sure liberty to all was to thrust it
upon them and to anuihilate those
who had other notions of independ-
ence.
"A1l these ideas were set forth in
Weyler's address to the Spanish
cortes in 1898 as clearly as McKin-
ley can state them to the American
public in 1900.
Kings have always bestrode the
necks of the people, said Abraham
Lincoln, mot that they wanted to,
but for the good of the people"
1t was Caesars excuse. It is Nc
Kinley's. He thinks liberty should
be forced on people and that they
have to be killed for their own
good"
Every word Of the foregoing can
be applied to Dewey, Lawton and
Wheeler with the same justice and
force as to Mckinley. Every word
is as truly directed to all of those
men as at any one of them. The
term Butcher Weyler" fits Dewey
and Lawton as perfectly as it does
Mckinley. I,awton, Dewey and
