New York, N. Y., Oct. 16.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: After
three days of alarms and sensations there
is general impatience over the vagaries of
catch-penny journalism and an increas-
ing disposition to criticize the govern-
ment for waiting too long before provid-
ing adequately for the defense of the im-
perial possessions in South Africa. Sir
Charles Dilke is known to have strong
views on the subject and will probably

strongly intrenched pozsitions, where they

Masterly inactivity has followed Sir
George White’s reconnoisance in Natal.
It is now doubted whether Gen. White
was actually trailing his coat or merely
practicing ■ his subordinates in handling
a large, complicated column in a difficult
country. His force is still reported at
Ladysmith, but in several newspapers the
latest messages received are dated Fri-
day. The wires being cut, all communica-
tion with Mafeking is suspended and it is
not known whether reinforcements have
yet reached Col. Baden-Powell. If not,
he is resisting 8000 Boers with a force of
600. Yet the opinion expressed in military
circles is that Baden-Powell’s resource
and almost uncanny luck may pull him
through. It is reported that the wires and
rails are cut between Deaar and Kimber-
ley. Mr. Rhodes’ action in going to Kim-
berley in these troublesome times con-
trasts with the pacific reserve maintained
by him throughout the political stages of
the crisis and recalls his daring displayed

English appreciation of American moral

same view, saying:
“We Anglo-Saxons must stand together
always. The world is always hostile and
suspicious1 when either of our two coun-
tries has serious work to do. They must
look to each other for sympathy in every
crisis, for they will not get it anywhere

The narrovz city streets adjoining Guild

crowded, the immediate occasion being
the meeting convened by the lord mayor
of London, Sir John Voce Moore, to de-
clare the confidence of the business men
of the city in the South African policy of
the government. Hundreds of members
of the Stock and Wool exchanges and the
great banking and underwriting firms
formed a procession in front of their var-
ious offices and marched to Gqild hall

Guild hall was packed with people. A

Prices
Backed
By Quality...
This store never asserts that a
price is low unless the item pos-
sess© every desired feature—unless
it is an article that we can recom-
mend. No matter how low the price,
it is never a value unless it pos-
sesses the necessary quality re-
quirements.
Every item in our stock is priced
along such lines, and it’s a selling
logic that we “live up to”—that we
work at. It is always worth the
price you pay, if you secure it here,
and most often proves quite a sav-
