A Mafeking dis patch, dated the sixth, says: The ;def continues, and that Col. Plumer is within four days' marth of the place. ENGLAND WAS UNPREPARED. letter From Durban Tells Why the Boers Were First Victorious. In a recent personal- letter from a British resident of Durban, the writer gives a brief review of some causes and effects in connection with the South Af rican war. He says: As you are really Interested, I shall try to answer your question as to why Eng land has not done better so far In this war. In the first place she was not prepared for It. This proves, I think, that she did not wish to force S war, though other nations give her the credit tor It. The Boers began the war. They had an army " of at least 70.000 men. and at the rime war was declared we had not 10.000. In cluding volunteers. They had It all SERY1CES AS MEDIATOR planned out long ago. and have been pre paring secretly lor years. They corneas and brag of this. The chose their own positions when we had no meu (o stop them. The wonder Is they have not done more than they have, with all the ad vantages on their side. Thev could have J had the whole of Natal, Including Durban, If they had been more prompt. The count ry favors their style of fighting. There is no other land in the world thnt Is ex actly like it. Then, there is the superior power of mobility tltey possess every man la mounted. When did you ever hear of an army of perhaps lilii.niio men all mounted? They have had many recruits, and may have as many men now as that. They have lots of money, and the best guns and rifles to he had in the world. I'nllke most nutious. though they have no port of their own, this helps them, as we cannot stop goods from landing at Dclagoa Bay, it being a neutral port, and connected by rail with Pretoria. Even Germnn experts say they fear no army would do any better under like circumstances. The task before our gen erals is, perhaps, as difficult a military problem as any commander has ever hud to face, and can only he proiwrly appre ciated by those who have a thorough knowledge of the great peculiarities of the country and the strategical advant ages on the side of our enemy. No one cau say thnt our soldiers are at fault In pluck. The difficulties of the situation are in creased by the very lementable inferi ority of our artillery, which is no less than a crime, for which somebody will be called to account. Bismarck once said: '"If we are oblig ed tO'Stake the blood of our people against ourenemies in the field, we are also bound to provide them with the best weaions of offense which money can pro cure." Our guns, I am sorry to say. ar,e ri diculously outclassed by those oti the Boer side. However, "we are cast down, but not destroyed," and the reverses will do good. We have. alas, lo confess that t!:e war luwt revealed serious defects In the organization of our military system, and we enn never be sufficiently thank ful thnt ils resources have been put to the test now and not in a more serious crisis.

(From The Durham Sun. I The most Interesting evening paper we have read, or seen In North Carolina for some tlmo, was The Raleigh Times-Visitor, of last Saturday afternoon. It was a splendid edition.

WILL POSTPONE MARKET ELECTION Spe;ial Meeting of Aldermen Called Today MAYOR POWELL CALLS S O'CLOCK MEETING Not Sufficient Time lo Inform Public Regarding a New Market Options oo Other Sites not Secured. Mayor I'owt'U imluy issued n call for a sj;' ial inectiiiK of tht Honnl of AMenm'ii at ' o'clock llii.s afternoon. The meeting was called at the request of Alderman Len Wilder and W. K. Jones, and is the outcome ot the diseus Mon in The Times- Visitor during the past week which has hrought to Iii;hi i lie opposition of some factions who would liivor the sle of the market if then could he some definite plans arranged for the future position of the market house. The election will probably lie postponed for at least one week and it is poysible fnr a longer time on acrount of the fail ure of the Hoard to secure opt ions on the various sites which are adaptable to market house purposes. Then, to., t here was a failure on t he part of t he Hoard to incorporate in the ordinance or dering the election any provision for the :ippoinlnient of poll lmlders for the elec t ion. Krotn those members if tin- Hoard wlm ;i a oid ..(i lgonhtz. .' . .. loubl be seen today it appears to be the concensus of opinion that tin; date for t he elcet ion was placed t oo soon. The sit i": on which opt ions should ho secured will be discussed by the Special Market Committee and by the Hoard at fhis afternoon'. session, and it is entire ly probable that the committee will bo directed to seiitre options on all obtain able properties us soon as possible. At first i it was I lie intention of fine member of the Hoard to move to postpone he election for several months, but this he i eared would delay l he progress of the work of erecting an auditorium. The meeting this afternoon will formu Jate definite plans which will be an nounced in the morning papers. LORD BYRON TONIGHT A Popular and Strong Attraction at the Academy Tl:e I'l.iy.

The Truth About the Hydrants During The Late Fire. Editors Times-Visitor: Before the city sells the market house and site, would it not be better for( the Board of Aldermen to locate a sitfl for the embryo new market house and sub mit the same to a mass meeting of tho people? If a better site can be found than the present one. and it will be to the city's Interest. I am In favor of selling the mar ket house and site, otherwise I am not in favor of said sale. Some citizens think il would be better to build a new market house on the pres ent site by taking in sixteen feet on each side of the market house, and build a new market house five storiea high, with au ditorium and Masonic Lodge f included, that the added apace (16 feet on both sides of the market house would be suf ficient). But the election will settle the sale, and until that is done, we can aelect the site afterwards. P. W. McGOWAN. SOUTHERN WALL PAPER CO.
