London, Jan. 25 , The anxious sus pense into which, General Bullers an nouncement ,iof his impending assault on Spionkop plunged the country has not been relieved. There is nothing from any source indicating even wheth er the attack has been delivered. Af fecting scenes at the war office contin ued! .until past midnight, when the dis appointed crowd reluctantly started homeward, after being notified that nothing -more would be issued before mtoming.

BRITISH MAKE NO HEADWAY. London, Jan. 25. A despatch to the Times from Spearman's Camp dated January 23, describes Tuesday's fight- ng and' adds: "We are 'no further advanced. The Boers are prepared to fight almost in terminably, having entrenched the ridge, which stretches in almost an un broken line from Drakenesberg many miles to the eastward." MORLEY CRITICISES WAR. TnflrtTv Tan' 24. "Rtt-Chief Senretarv for Ireland jJohn Morley, in a speech at Forenar today severely arraigned the government for plunging the country nto war.

The same despatch, apparently refer ring to the situation at Colenso, says: "Oneof the large Boer Maxims was temporarily' disordered, but was soon repaired. The British northern eamp is in confusion.

As the afternoon progressed the ex citement1 in Pall Mall reached the high. est pitch, but the waofflce officials re- terated at 3:30 p. m. the oft. repeated statement: "Nothing-has been received from Buller.' The suspense is increased hy the be lief that Buller would never have puT lished his intention to attack, the Boers on Spionkop unless satisfied that the assault wouiu be carried out before the news could 'be published, and It is fully anticipated that-news of success on failure will reach London in a few tiours at mtost. s The' cabinet ministers called at the war office after lunch to ask for news.- WHERE THEY INTEREST US.

Today has been another field day in the senate for those who are opposed to the Sim mons disfranchising scheme, notwith standing the. fact that the opponents of Senator Prttchard's resolution occu pied the floor a greater portion of ihe time Mr. McEnery, the Louisiina senator who conscientiously believes that the proposed North Carolina amendment and all kindred proposi tions are in the, gross violation , of the constitution of the United' States, cut Who, in talking with the machine dem ocrats because of some sense of polit ical duty, was the chief' speaker to- iday. His address was principally, a recitation ot t&e reajff? l lpainerr cteiur l Lue ictu iAinc ll issue; uku t the. constitutionality of the proposed North CaroUna amendment. The speech of Senator McEnery was rendered as" sounding Jrass and "tink ling cymbals so far as campaign pur poses are concerned , by Senator But ler's questions. After calling the Louisiana senator's) attention to the fact that Nortn Carolina was mt threatened with negro domination, Senator Butler read the' following from the New Orleans Times-Democrat of March 18, 1898: From the Times-Democrat of Friday, March 18, 1898: Washington, D. C, March 17, 1898. To the Times-Democrat. y In answer, I say that section five 13 grossly unconstitutional. .

Havana, Jan. 24. The commission for the reform of the Taws held an in formal meeting in the palace today. The general scope of the changes to be made were discussed. It is not in tended to eradicate the Latin laws, but to engraft certain principles of Amer- can law and cut off the Spanish ob stacles that stand in the way of speedy Justice. Ex-Secretary of War Roloff is engag ed in revising . the. rolls of the Cuban army for franchise purposes. No order has yet been issued restricting suffrage nor does the general public expect such an order. Feelers thrown out by General Wood reveal- the fact that the general puo hc is opposed to any suffrage restric tions. Politicians declare that th'-y ntist on unrestricted suffrage.

The session of the senate wast enlivened today by Pet tigrew, who indulged in another attack on the administration's Philippine pol icy, in connection with the resolution offered 'toy him yesterday, calling for information in regard to the - treaty made with the sultan of Sulu. He de clared that the treaty maintained po lygamy and! slavery. Spooner asked Pettigrew if he believed the president approved of that section of the treaty recognizing slavery, and Pettigrew re plied emphatically that he did so be lieve. Spooner tried to disprove thltf by quoting from the president's mes sage in regard to the matter, but Pet tigrew would have none of it, charac terizing it as "double dealing and on a par with everything else in the whole miserable affair." He asserted that the flag was flying over slavery and polygamy; while the army and. navy were destroying the independence of a Christian people. The resolution was agreed to.
