London. JAN II. 6 a. m.-MiIitary men are dis
appointed by the feebleness of the measures
adopted by the War Office for easing the situ-
alton in South Africa. They assert that Sir
Michael Hicks Beach is again at fault, as he was
before the campaign opened, in withholding
financial supplies which are Indispensable. He
is a prudent and careful financier. who insists at
every turn that the war expenses must be kept
down to the lowest possible point Lord Roberts
is credited with having advised the Ministry TO
send out fifty thousand fresh troops, and to
withdraw an equal number of men from the
lines of communication. Military men assert
that this was the true policy, since it would have
relieved at least one-fourth of the troops now In
the field, and have encouraged those left behind
to believe that their turn would come. The ex-
pense Of transportation would have been consid-
cradle, but the army. which has become stale
and dispirited would have been greatly inVig-
GRATED. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is cur
recently reported to have objected strenuously
to this course, and small relief measures, such
as fresh Ievies of the yeomanry and Australians.
have been substituted for a comprehensive
policy.

The Benson company undertook last night
at the Comedy Theatre the hazardous expert
ment of producing The Merchant of Venice
and challenging comparison with the best
Shakespearian work of Sir Henry Irving's com
panv. The scenery was inferior to the stage
setting at the Iyceum. but the costumes were
artistic in design and color. The play is COM
monty dressed for The time of Titan, but Mr..
Benson sets it back into the CarpacciC period.
when costumes and cOiffures were more beau
tiflI and graceful, and better suited to the re-
uuirements Of a poetic comedy. Mr. Benson did
not excite pity for shylock in his loneliness when
deserted by Jessica nor when baffled in the
trial scene, but played the part energetically,
and at times boisterously, in tie frank spirit Of
comedy and melodrama. Miss Eleanor Calhoun
gave a reading of Portals lines quite differ
ent from Miss Ellen Teuy's. She empha-
sized Portals powers of mimicry in setting off
the manners of the sutorS before Nerissa as a
natural exclamation of the masquerade. AS the
Doctor she produced a fine effect Of womanly
tenderness when alone with Bassanio. and made
the disguise more real by taking off her wig and
annearing in her own black hair when wearing
the Doctors robe. One of her costumes. Of
white. embroidered with black and gold, was
initiated from Carpaccio's portraits, and the
second dress a pale blue. with purple and golden
net was in the same Venetian style. Alfred
Brvdone was an excellent Antonio; Frank Rod
ney made a spirited Bassanio and George Weir
was most comical Launcelot Gobbo The
audience was sympathetic. and the play went
well. L. n. r.

doctor. "I'll go on ahead with them Stuart. Eric needs attention as soon as possible"
 The doctor and the miners with Eric hurried down the hill, while Stuart followed with the minister as fast as he could. But now that the strain was over he felt weak and faint.
 ''You must come in and stop with me tonight, Mir. Burke. I want to know the story of your appearance in the mine. And, besides, I have not had time to thank you."
 ''I shall be glad to accept your invita- tion. In fact, I feel the need of wash ing up before go back to the town I am stopping at the hotel," replied Burke.
 As the two walked along, picking their way slowly down the narrow to them from the town. Stuart paused and listened. :.-
 stWhats that?" he asked.
 ''Troops. They arrived this after noon That must be the drumbeat to quarters"
 'I supposed the troops would not start until the last of the week I had information to that effect from Cleve- land"
 '|They came this afternoon, and that is one reason for your friends injury, I imagine. We will talk it over and see.'' There was pause, and the Rev. Andrew Burke suddenly exclaimed in a tone of relief, as if he had been searching for something: "Ah, here they are! I thought perhaps had lost them" r t
 What's that?" asked Stuart, peering through the darkness toward some thing his companion was holding out in his hand.
 "Black ore crystals. Very rare speci- mems. If you have a match about you, I will show you"
 Stuart could not help laughing. Aft CT all, was he not alive and safe after that experience of terror? '~s~
 '1 am afraid,' he said, "that any matches I might have about me would hardly go off after the soaking I had. You see, I was in the water: up. to my neck a part of the time."
 'I beg your pardon" replied Andrew Burke. He seemed ashamed, and then as they were going up the avenue to the house he said gently: "You see,

So perhaps you will not think l am all together a crank on specimens if in this instance the hunt for them led to 1 something better"
 Ut was 8 fortunate find for us,'' re- piled Stuart. Eric and shall always l bless you for your search. I am anx- ious about him. Come right in, and I will have one of the servants show you a room where you can be at home for the night.'' They hurried in only a little after the doctor, and the miners, and Stuart, aft CT directing one of the servants to see to Mr. Burke, went to Eric. The doctor was examining and dressing the wound
 "He has had a hard blow Nothing fatal. We will pull him through. You | had better get off those wet duds and G.. l art, you are alive! This is the begin | ming of troubles here, I'm afraid There has been crooked work today up on the hill, or I'm mistaken. That rock never fell down the ladder hole by accident, and the engine house didn't burn with out some ones help."
 Stuart looked thoughtful. He was still in the miners dress, and if the oc- casion had not been serious the doctor might have been excused for smiling at his young friends appearance He was covered with the greasy red iron ore mud, great streaks of it were over his face and hands, but the gravity of events that were evidently poising for a crisis left little room for anything but sober feeling. Stuart stood over Eric.
 Poor fellow! This comes at a bad time for him.
 "Yes, and for us, tool" said the doctor sharply. There's no telling what the men will do without Erics influence to keep them quiss. And it will be a aues-. tion of weeks before he gets up from this''
 "I hadn't thought of thatv' Stuart put his hand on Fries forehead. At that moment Eric opened his eyes. He was conscious and spoke feebly.
 Stuart, you saved my life. You have paid up old debts. You are quits with me now"
 Erie, we understand each other now, don't we?" Stuart spoke almost like a lover. SBut we owe our lives to anoth- CT man.

 Eric closed his eyes, and Stuart went away to change his clothes, and all the while he felt conscious of the convic- tion that he stood close to the crisis of

It has often been said that Wall street vertically sets the pace that kills and the present condition well illus trated the truth From hour to hour and even from minute to. minute the men engaged in the turmoil of the business of speculation live in alter mating hope and fear = the hope of winning vast fortune, the fear of los ing all. The atmosphere becomes sur charged with the possibilities of sue cess and disaster. No man can feel safe with a feverish market leaping upward and then reacting. The evil arises from the system of buying shares on margins. There is propor- tionately little legitimate purchasing of stocks in which the cash price squarely passes from buyer to seller. The great gamble depends upon the utilizing to the fullest extent of every penny of capital in hand and often the employment. of fictitious capital as we'll The loss of a quarter point in price will mean the. wfping out of everything at stake, and the staccato voice of the ticker is the call of the fates.
