REMARKABLE 8PEECH
OP LORD R03EBERT AT
HULL.
London, Jan 16 -The Earl of
Rosebery, responding to a toast to
nie health this evening st tbe annual
banqoet of tbe Wolverbampton
Chamber of Commerce, spoke of' tbe
greet commercial warfare being wag
ed against England."
"The chief rivals to be feared,1'
aaid bio Lordship, "are America
and Germany. Tbe Americans, with
their vast and almost incalculable
reeooroee, their aoutettesaand enter
ur-ee. and their hoge popolatioo,
wnich will probably be 100,000,000
in twenty years, together with tbe
plao they have adopted for potting
accumulated wealth into great co?
operation syndicates or trusts for the
purpose of oarryiog oo this great
commercial warfare, are, perhaps,
the moat formidable.
"On the other haod, tbe Germans,
witb their calculating and oonqoer
iag "pirit, and tbe energy witb which
they seise and ose tbe best and most
economical methods, are but little
leee redoubtable than tbe Americans.
?'The Americans, scsroely satisfied
with gigaotio individual fortunes,
use these by combination to make of
oapital a power which, wielded by
one or two minds, ia almost irresisti
ble ; aod if tbia power is concent rat
ed against Oreat Britain io trade
warfare it will he a danger we oan
not afford to disregard.
4 A trust of many millions might
compete with any trade io Englaud,
underselling all her products at a
considerable loaa This io a poaaible
outcome of tbe immediate future. A
curious feature, if I may say so
without impertinence, seems to be
that ia combination with tbe faculty
for the acquisition of money there ia
a complete contempt for money ex?
cept aa a means of making more and
for power Theae millionaires of
whom wa bear ao much are often
men of eimple livee, wboee simple
rule is to make enormous accumula?
tions io order to acqoire more power
"England, in order to withstand
international competition, most thor
oogbly educate her yooth , and 1
wonld suggest sending batches of
yooog men abroad to learn tbe best
our rivals know "

"Stop the War."
British Find it Necessary to
Extend Martial Law
London, Jan 17 ?Tbe "atop the
war" committee today passed the
following resolution :
"Orders wbicb a British officer
reports he personally received reveal
the adoption by Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener of a policy having
for its aim the extermination of a
heroic nationality by starving ite
women and children and tbe deliber?
ate massacre of unarmed prisoners "
The latter clause alludes to Gen
Kitchener's alleged secret orders to
Oen DeWet's pursuers to take no
prisoners
Copies of letters from an unarmed
British officer containing these and
other charges, will be sent by tbe
committee to Lord Salisbury and
Lord Roberts and others.
LORD ROBERTS' APPEAL
London, Jan 18 ?Lord Roberts,
wbo was entertained privately at
dinner last evening by tbe United
Sen ice club, the guests including
tbe Prince of Wales, the Duke of
Yon, tbe Duke of Cambridge and
soms 300 officers, has issued from
the war office a stirring sppeal to the
country for a prompt response to tbe
osll for 5,000 yeomaory, whose past,
service in South Africa be highly
commends to the gratitude of tbe
nati 30.
Tbe autboritiee continuo to hold a
hopuful view regarding tbe South
African situation, but they seem to
recognize that vigorous measures are
neoessary Tbe proclsmation of
martial law throughout almost the
whole of Cape Oolooy. Lord Kitcb
enei'e strong measures against tbe
population of tbe republics, tbe
placing on reduced ratiooe of tbe
wives of the men in the field and
similar measures go to show that
there is still heavy work ahead
British offensive operatione have
ceased for the present It ia euppoaed
that Lord Kitchener is collecting his
strength for a fioal effort to crush
or to capture tbe commandoe by a
repetition of tbe taotics wbicb caused
tbe surrender of Geos Cronje and
Prinzloo
It is alleged tbat tbe Boers, wbo
are concentrating at Carolina and
Ermele, are preparing to descend
into Nstal.
The casualty list issued yesterday
shows that the Boers have released
297 Britieb wbo were oaptored at
Helvetia aod Belfast The facts
regaidfog the capture at Belfast have
not yet been allowed to transpire
It is aeeerted that more heavy
naval guns will be landed at the
Cape. Information as to tbe doings
of tbe invaders is bard to obtain but
it is clesr tbat tbey are getting very
little help from the Dutch Twice
tbey attempted to capture Bsrkiey
Esst, but both times tbey were re
poised For three doys tbey oocu
pied Sutherland but tbey cleared out
on tbe approach of a British column
Smsll scattered parties are reported
ss operating io various parts of tbe
Geres district.
Appsrently tbe invsdere abandon
ed tbe idea of attacking Clan William
on finding that tbe town was well
defended A commando of 1,000
has been aotive in tbe Richmond die
trim but there the Boers have eecor
ed only 100 Dutch recruits
Gen Kitebener telegraphing from
Pretoria under date of Wednesday,
Jsn 16, says tbe concentration of
3 000 Boers st Carolina, Transvaal,
is reported. He adds that Colville's
mobile column was engaged near
Vantoodes Hoek Tbe Boers were
driveu awaw -vith heavy loss
Three hundred Boers entered Aber
deen yesterday, looted the stores aod
retired on tbe arrival of a hundred
British infantry
THIS IS REGONCENTRATION.
Pretoria, Jan 16.?Boer families

the husbands surrender, to a full allow*

ATTACK BY THE HUERS.
Sandertoo, Wednesday, Jan 16 ?
Colville's mobile column, marohing
(rom New Denmark to Vlaklaagte, was
attaoked by 1,000 Boers, divided into
two foroes.
Ono foroo made a determine i attempt
oo the baggago and the other on tho
cavalry constituting the rasr guard.
The cavalry wero compellod to retire
until protected by four companies of
nflus, bidden behind the ridge, who
were watting with bayohots. The
Beers then made a syredy retreat,
leaving several dead and wounded from
tli?> heavy British fire.
Eventually both attacks were repuls
ed. the Boers losing heavily.
Tbo British wero Q ?t an o to rursuo
ihe Boers owing tu tbo necessity of
p oteoung their baggage. The casual*
tieflwere oos killed and 15 wounded
Hubbard'a Cotton Letter.
New York, Jan. 17.?Liverpool
surprised every one by declining on
the publication of Neill's estimate,
which be reiterates, of the crop Our
market felt eure, from the starting
out of Liverpool yesterday, that they
would advance further and tbe
strength at the olose last evening
was due to tbe covering of a laige
line of short cotton on tbat theory.
Ouieide oporators, in view of the io
creasing congestion of goods, are
gradually selling out their holding?.
In some few instances they sell short,
though not generally. The comment
tbst holds an advance of nearly 100
per cent as compared with two
years ago is more frequently beard
than tbe argument of supply On
the other hand, we will soon run
against the heavy movement of last
February, which is a strong faotor
for tbe maiutainance of present prices.
The south showed little weakness,
quotations beiug firmly held in the
iuterior.

'?We hesitate." says Tbo GafToey

A Baby'*
Birth
is very much like the blossom?
ing of a flower. Its beauty and
perfection depends entirely
upon tbe care bestowed upon
its parent. Expectant mothers
should have tbe tendtrest care.
They should be spared all worry
and anxiety. Tney should eat
plenty of good nourishing food
and take gentle exercises. This
will go a long way toward preserv?
ing their health and their beauty
as well as that of the little one to
come. But to be absolutely sure
of a short and painless labor they
should use
Mother's
Friend
regularly during the raontha of gesta?
tion. This ia a simple liniment, which
is to be applied externally. It gives
strength and vigor to the muse lea and
prevents all of the discomforts of preg?

were absolutely neceaaarv. When
Mother's Friend is used there is no
danger whatever.
