Prince of Wales and for the prosperous
times that have benefited the coun
try; so it is small wonder that an un
precedented flood of excursionists Is
leaving London over Good Friday and
Easter Monday. Every one who can
afford It has gone away and holiday
making Is the rage of the moment.
Next week marks the opening of the
Paris exposition. Comparatively few
Britishers are likely to attend. Seven
months ago thousands were planning
to visit Paris; but since the antl-Urltisn
press In France has become so vene
mous, almost all Interest seems to have
been lost in what promised to be one
of the greatest expositions of the cen
tury. Punch's cartoon this week represents
Punch bowing to Mistress Paris and
wishing her good fortune; but this
does not represent In the slightest de
gree popular opinion, for, as the Globe
Bays: "The British people are not go
ing to the show."
S
Speaking of shows, one of the most
ancient occurred this week when the
Royal Maundy Money was distributed
to old men and women at Westminster
Abby. The ceremony of giving small
alms to deserving persons with yeoman
of the guard in attendance as usual,
attracted large crowds and, according
to an evening paper, the red purses
containing the queen's small gift were
eagerly bought up by American visi
tors, some of whom offered as much
as 5 fo rthem. The number of recip
ients increases with each year of the
queen's life and the eighty-one men
and eighty-one women who the other
day tottered up to the Abbey Chancel
formed a striging, living commentary
on the great age of the empire's active
sovereign.
Next week will doubtless be marked
by scenes of enthusiasm over the ar
rival of Sir George White. Despite
what were alleged to be his mistakes.
It is doubtful if any British general
except Lord Roberts himself is half so
popular as is the defender of Lady
smith. Buckles hearing his photograph
are already being generally worn; and
In this connection it Is Interesting to
note how what English papers ence de
ride as the "American button fad" has
come into popularity in England.
The Outlook relates that while Sir
George White stood in the Market
Place at Ladysmlth immediately after
the relief of that place, while cheering
throngs surged around him and as the
congratulatory message of the queen
was being read out, he said, with emo
tion, "England is very kind to me, who
has lost her two regiments."
The simple pathos, readiness to ac
cept blame and pluck of this man have j
touched ihe hearts of the people as
deeply as if he had won a hundred bat
tles. Moreoevr, he Is the friend and
pupil of the beloved Idol "Bobs."
Curiously enough, the same day Ser
geant Patrick Campbell's name ap
peared on the list of killed in South
Africa, the husband of another actress
was numbered In the same columns.
He was Captain Tennant, who. four
years ago, married Maude Millet.
Campbell was a well-known sportsman
and married before his wife bad any
idea of going on the stage. He was
obliged to seek a living, wandered to
South Africa and secured an engage

Poor Stephan Crane, who Is lying at
the poirt of death, has for the past year
beer, occupying one of the oldest houses
in England. It is situated in the love
liest part of Sussex and is ownrd by
Moreton Frewen. It is called Brede
riaee. and was built in 14'X'. In real-
f ity It is a miniature castle. There, with
straw littered over the stoned iloors,
with huge old fire places burning
brightly and with everything as in
the feudal times, the man who wrote
"The Red Radgi of Courage," has been
turning out books and mai;azine stories
with an industry for which few who
knew him in his younger days gave
him credit. Though, perhaps, the most
American of all the Americans in Eng
land, no one in English literary circles
is spoken if more lovingly and admir
ingly than the author whose career
threatens to end before he reaches his
thirtieth yar. His wif is with him.
The spring inflow of Americans has
begun and while many of the visitors
are already hurrying to Paris, the ho
tels and other public resorts give am
ple evidence of the return of the tide
of American travel. Not since mid
summer last has Southampton pre
sented a busier appearance than on
Thursday when the American liner St.
Paul arrived with a long list of theat
rical people and general tourists.
Prominent among the former were Mrs.
Leslie Carter. David Belasto and mem
bers of the "Zaza" company; George
W. Lederer, Edna May; J. Sullivan and
the members of "The American Beau
ty" company. Mrs. Carter's first visit
was to the Garrlck theater, which

INCOMPETENT COMMANDERS.
Serious Charges Against Several Prom
inent British Officers Again
Repeated,
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
LONDON. April 8. A British olllcer.
writing In Today, of Vaal Kranti,
says:
"I do not know If It Is any use to
descant always on the shortcoming
of our generals, but they are brought
home to us so constantly by bitter ex
periences time wo cannot keep them
from our mltuls, and we cannot resent
the obstinacy of the nar otlice author!
tics who dvllberauly allow- t.ousniuls
of Uvea to be sacrificed rather than
remove these who, la peace have won
favor and promo Ion by social Iniluenc
ami backstairs Intrigue and are really
responsible for moat of our disaster.
"The general w ho led his brigade In
'mass of column' under the enemy's
guns at Colenso Is still In command of
that brigade and there has been no
voice raised In England against such
stupendous folly. Five hundred and
fifty men were lost on that occasion
but because the Irish brigade stood
firm It did not attract public attention
The Highlanders at Magersfonteln,
under similar but less aggiavated cir
cumstances, suffered no greater loss,
retreated three times from the field
and all England clamored for the sup
pression of the responsible person.
"Since then General Hart ha lost
no opportunity, of repeating his of
fense; he even attributed the III sue
cess of the day to the fact that the
battalions were afterward extended to
single instead of double rank and cen
sured commanding olllcer for having
saved an even greater disaster. Near
SpionKop he took Hrsoiinl command
of the York and Lancaster and S.utli
Lancaster regiments and ordered a fu
tile b.iyonet charge at an enemy nearly
I.i.OO yards away. This attracted Meh
heavy nre that the two regiments
sought shelter and declined to follow
their olhcers another yard. The Irish
brigade had to be called to the rescue
and passed through the prostrate line.
"No one has any confidence In Gen
trul Hart's leadership and every olllcer
and man from Genernl Uull r dow n
is aware of his Incompetency. Ntarly
half of his brigade have been kilted
and wounded; neither the Highlan I
nor any other brigade has sullered In
anything like the same propor.lon: the
lnniskilling fusiliers have only Hire
of the ollieers who were with them
three months ago still serving and can
now In all muster five officers. A few
more battles and the brigade will cease
to exist.
General Hart's talents fit him to be
lrill sergeant not a leader of men.
No latitude Is given to even the most
experienced commanders. Me must al
ways keep, ns he says, a tight grip on
his brigade, which means discomfort
and annoyance in peace and disaster
in war.
"As an example of the extreme to
which this policy is carried. I will give
one instance among many. After the
battle of Spionkop the troops who had
lxen for ten days under constant fire
and enuured every sort of hardship.
were naturally somewhat exhausted;
moreover they had had a severe night
march covering the rear of the retreat
ing army.
"General Buller decided It was neces
sary that they should have some days
rest and a camping ground was select
ed. The tents, however, were not
pitched In the morning and the men
lay out in the sun all day. In the af
ternoon General Hart was of the opin
ion that the camp might be within the
range of th enemy's big guns and de
cided to pitch camp a mile further
back. But instead of pointing cut the
ground to the commanding officers and
directing them to move their batta
lions to the place, he formed he four
regiments on a brigade parade Pud af
ter some time had been t'ivun up to
covering correctly, an elaborate brig
ade maneuver began.
"The ground was broken and covered
with deep water courses, so that the
dresr.ing and distance was difficult to
maintain. Staff officers galloped from
place to place; the men and officers were
abused, halted, moved to the right,
moved to the left. It was impossible
to shut one's ears to the muttered
curses of men. worn out with fatigue
and want of sleep, at this useless show,
which might possibly have been very
edifying at Aldershot at a royal re
view but which. In actual warfare,
strained the much needed strength of
the soldiers.
''An hour and a half was occupied
In traversing a mile and a half of
ground, which could easily have been
covered In twenty minutes. In this
way the men were harassed and worn
out at a time when they should be re
covering strength for future efforts;
In this way the hospitals are filled with
soldiers who have never been hit by a
Boer bullet, but whose constitutions
have been sapped by unnecessary la
bors. ,
"General Hart placed himself on a
hill with a telescope and a bugler and
ordered the brigade to attack a posi
tion; the bugler sounded alternately
throughout the day 'advance.' double,'
'charge.' I need not say that this
method of fighting resulted In terrible
loss; sixty officers and 1,500 men is a
terrible total for one brigade, nearly
50 per cent of the whole. It would be
Impossible to enumerate the vagerles
that daily occur, but through the worst,
I regret to say, that General Hart Is
not the only brigadier notorious for
Incompetency. At least two other
brigadiers were unfit to command, but
the accidents of war has removed one
of them The divisional commanders
were no better but war has also made
some changes here and It would be
premature to Judge their successors."

other serious obstacle which will be

naiure of the country through which
it will have to pass on the way to Pre

ly adapted to their style of fighting.

EXPORT CARLOAD RATES.
New Rule Adopted Which Will Pre
vent Abuse of the Special
Export Privileges.
NEW YORK. April 14.-The trunk
line freight committee has adopted a
new rule regarding export carload
rates. It Is claimed that western ship
pers take advantage of the export rutes
for local stuff,
The matter has been made the sub
ject, at various times, of special Inquiry
by the Interstate commerce commis
sion. It has, it is alleged, been one of
the most generally used means of
granting favors to large shippers, as
It has bc-n a cloak that has made In
vestigation as a rule futile. The ex
port rate, it will be recalled, Is about
two or three cents lower than the lo
cal rate. The old rule allowing ship
pers the benefit of export carload rates
whether the freight goes to one or more
steamboat lines, It Is aimltted, has
been abused. This old rule reads:
"On carload shipments of export
freight no extra charge for harbor de
livery will be made when more than
one delivery to steamship lines is re
quired." NEW MINING EXCITEMENT.
