, In . connection, with Gen. Bailer's
movemeat General Warren, either on
Thursday or Friday, moved, with 18,000
men, la the direction of Weenen, on the
Boers' left flank, which would give color
to the view that both flasks of the Boers
are being threatened. -
' As a preliminary to a determined ad
tance, Mount Hlangwane, southeast of
Colenso and near the southern baak of
the Tugela, must be cleared of the Beer
force holding It, slnoe otherwise this
foree might be able to threaten the
British line of commDnlcallons, It Is
paaslble that General Warren will co
operate fa an attack on this mouotsla.
Now that the Tugela la running In flood
the time Is favorable, as It will be diffi

Chairman Simmons knows how to man
age these things, ss the 1898 eampalgn
showed most conclusively.
Some of the government officials ap
pear to be greatly vexed regardlag the
Uarshall counterfeiting case and at the
failure to convict him., '
There hu long been a ("tradition," so
to speak, that there are plana some
where for the addition of "wings to the
north and south ends of the State Capi
tol, ' Patient search during the last year
or two has revealed no trace of any such
plans and an architect says he does not
believe there ever were any. The matter
of increasing the size of the building is
under consideration .r It Is certain that
more room is needed. During legislative
sessions many rooms In the Bnpreme
Court and library building and some In
the agricultural building have to be
utilised. . . v

cause of limited force, etc., but yet In
creased taxable values $2,000,000. In
speaking' of - general - taxation . Clerk
Brown, of the corporation commission,
said that if the assessment of all proper
ty were placed In the hands of the - com'
mission - the State revenues would no
doubt be largely. Increased. A State offic
ial says Mr. Brown's views are very
sensible and correct. ; The whole matter
of equality Of taxation will undoubtedly
figure very prominently this year and
perhaps the Legislature at lis session In
June may act in (he premises. .. ' -
The home mills now spin all the cot

Speaking of the Insurrection Gi.eral
