Buller Drives the Enemy Across the Tugela River. Boer Camps, Ammunition and Supplies and Some Prisoners Captured. BOMBARING BOER POSITION AT HLANGWATA HILL A YOUTH FUL BUGLER HONORED BY THE QUEEN THE WEAiHER IN TENSELY HOT. London, Feb. 20. It is now three days since official news came from Gen eral Roberts, and such unofficial news as has been received in the meantime has been inconclusive and contradic tory. The absence of definite informa tion creates - some nervousness, which is not allayed by persistent rumors that Cronje's army has been surrounded and captured. These rumors, though they could not be traced to a satisfactory source, held the attention of the mem bers of the commons in the lobbies last evening. The representative of the Daily News ascribes to Wyndnam, parliamentary secretary of the war of fice, admission that the government had extremely satisfactory news, but re fused to divulge it, while the represent ative himself elicited from an anony mous cabinet member mtormation tnat the" war office had received a telegram which 'announced that Cronje was hopelessly surrounded. ! Nevertheless the war office at midnight announced that nothing had been received for publication, and none of the morning- papers from their own sources is able to enlighten the public. .jOne of those unreliable continental Boer reports comes from Berlin m the shape of an assertion that the British on Sunday night were compelled to abandon) the advance north of Modder river, partly because they feared an amibush and Tartlv because the r-xin made the roads impassable for artil lery. DESPATCH FROM BULLER. London. Feb. 19. The war oilier has received the following despatch from Buller: "Chieveley Camp, Feb. 19. I yester day moved around' the ene.ny ? flank The Queen's Guards, who had bivou acked on the northern slope of Cingolo, crossed the nek, supported by the rest of the second brigade under Hildyard, assaulted and took the southern end of Monte Christo. "The fourth brigade on the iert or western slope and the Wilsh fusiliers, supported by the rest of the ixth bn gade, assaulted the eastern flank of the enemy's position, while the second bri gade of cavalry on the ext.-eme right watched the eastern slopes of Monte Christo and drove back those of the enemy who attempted to escape our artillery fire. "Assaulted by heavy artillery fire on their front and flank and attacked on their flank and rear, the enemy made but slight resistance, and abandoning their strong positions were driven across the Tugela. "I have taken several camps, a wr gon load of ammunition, several wa eons of stores and supplies and a few I Have You Property for Sale ?

The weather has beeo in tensely hot and the ground traversed exceedingly difficult, but the eneifiy and dash of the troops have beou vexy pleasant to see. They have all -lone splendidly. The work of irregular ca -airy, Queen's Guards, Scots fusiliers and rifle brigade was perhaps most no ticeable, while the excellent practice of artillery and naval guns and the stead iness of gunners, under, at all times, very accurate fire, was remarkable. The accurate fiTe of the naval guns from Chieveley was of great assistance, Our casualties are not, I think, many." BUGLER SEES THE QUEEN. Bugler Dunn, the 15-year-old member of the First Royal Dublin f usilier, who was the first to cross the Tugela river, and who was shot in the right arm while sounding "advance," saw the queen at Osborne this morning. Hv majesty presented him with a hand some silver mounted bugle, suitably in scribed. The queen gave the lad a motherly welcome, and expressed hop?s that he would have a successful caiefc1 in the army. BOMBARDING. Durban, Feb. 19. The bombardment of the Boer position on Hlangwaya hill was continuous yesterday, and fighting s still proceeding at 6 this evening. It s said the British have captured one hundred prisoners.' JAPANESE WILL SERVE. Vancouver, Feb. Td. Ex-Japanese soldiers, residents of British Columbia, sent an offer to the minister of militia today to raise a corps of one hundred men for service in South Africa. DEBATE ON PORTO RIGAN BILL BEGINS senators Uive upinions On Application . . r . 1 i I of Constitution to Territories. Washington, Feb. 19. A resolution in the senate today calling on the com missioners of the District of Columbia for a report as to why the law of the last congress fixing the telephone prices in Washington, had not been carried out, started a lively discussion, in the course of which Tillman, of South Carolina, said! that if the consti tution appnea to toe .District, it aiso appliedjto the territories recently ac quired. Lindsay, of Kentucky, con tended that the constitution extended to the states but not to the territories, while Vest, Missouri, and Hoar, Massa chusets. opposed this view. The reso lution was adopted; after an extended debate, and then the Hawaiian cable line was taken up and discussed until the session ended. The week's debate on the Puerto Ri oan bill 'oegan in tne nouse toaay Chairman Payne, of the ways s.n I means committee, openedl the debate I by pointing out that 25 per cent, of , the Dingley tariff " rates were imposed In stead of providing" free trade in order to meet necessary expenses of the insular government. Richardson, of Tennes see, spoke in opposition to the meas ure, his chief contention) being that Puerto Rico was part of the United States, that the provisions of the con stitution applied to the island and that to pass a line would! be to violate the constitutional provisions that taxes shall be uniformly laid throughout the United States. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, contended that the term United States, as used in the constitution, applied to states and not to territories. Early in the ses sion a line abolishing the use of one eixth and one-eighth barrels in hand ling beer was passed. An evening session was held devot ed to private pension bills. WAR ON SUGAR TRUST. Richardson, democratic leader in the house, has begun a war on the sugar trust. Today he introduced a resolu tion, which, after pointing out that the trust was paying 12 per cent dividends, provided that the sugar manufactured by the American Sugar Refining com pany of New Jersey shall, after six months, be prohibited by the- interstate commerce commission from .being transported from one state to another, until the commission' is satisfied that the sugars 'have not yielded a profit of more than 4 per cent. THE HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY. The Measure Will Lie Dormant in the House for a Time- Washington. Feb. 19. There Is lit tle or no prospect of favorable action of any sort at present by the senate with regard . to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The conviction having been foced on the senators that the popular opinion is that the treaty should be re jected, the treaty will be allowed to lie dormant for a time in the bouse. Some means of escape may be present ed. Therefore at a meeting of the for eign relations committee Wednesday no attempt will be made to dispose of the treaty. SERIES OF MORNING TALKS. Kindergarten Work to be Explained Next Month. The kindergarten. associates met yesterday afternoon and reports j-c given from all the schools, showing good attendance at all of them. The financial report showed that $47.50 was cleared by the Kettledrum recently given, but contributions are needed to continue the schools the rest of the year. - , A series of morning talks will be given next month in the old- library building to ladles by a celebrated kin dergarten worker, showing the benefits of the kindergarten ajnd how the child is changed by its excellent methods. The meetings will be free and dates will be announced later. THE MUDDLE IN KENTUCKY Attempted Reaffirmation That Goebel Died as Gov ernor. Marshall Declares He Will Preside in the Senate. The Courts Will be Left to Decide the Governorship. Trying to Smirch Taylor With Assas- sination of Goebel. TODAY THE DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE WILL TRY TO PASS THE REAFFIRMATION RESOLUTION. BECKHAM WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THIS UP BY DE MANDING THE OFFICE UNTIL COURTS DECIDE. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 19. Whether Taylor will continue to serve as gov iLiii. jvi.j Acwir iuu courts, owin& to the action of the dem ocratic legislators today. In the sen ate Lieutenant Governor Marshall was ignored on the ground! that recognition would be an. admission that Goebel had not died as governor, and then a reso lution was passed reaffirming the pre vious adoption of the contest commit tee s report. The reaffirmation had no weight if the original act is valid, and if it was rot valid!, and needed reaffirmation. then Marshall was lieutenant governor and should have presided. In the' house the democrats only had a majority of three, and' the leaders were afraid to trust a reaffirmation res olution with so small a margin, so the house adjourned until tomorrow ana urgent calls were made for more mem bers. The meetings of the senate was stormy, both, President Pro Tern Carter and : Lieutenant Governor Marshall attempting' to preside. The republicans pas0$ : mdtfon toadjourn, the uemo- cxatsruot. vottagr and then Marshall vacated -the- chair and the republicans took no further part in the meeting The 'democrats then went ahead-and passed the reaffirmed resolution. The house will -adopt the resolution tomor row. It is not the intention of the democrats to have Beckham call on Taylor and demand his office, but will wait until the courts nave reached a decision. Marshall says he is going to preside over the senate tomorrow and the dem ocrats threaten to put him out by force. It can be stated' as a fact that the democrats intend to secure the prosecution of Governor Taylor as an accomplice to the murder of Goebel The democrats charge that the execu tive building was full of mountaineers the day of the shooting; that one of them fired the shot and that Taylor protected him. Harlan Whitaker and James Sutton, suspected of connection with the murder, were brought here from Louisville oday. DECISION AGAINST THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Supreme Court Requires Them to Give Inter-Ocean Service. Chicago, Feb. 19. The Ilinois su preme" court handed down a decision at Springfield today in the appeal of the Inter-Ocean Publishing company against the Associated Press, reversing the decrees in the lower courts, and directing that the decree be entered re straining the Associated Press from suspending or expelling the Inter Ocean or refusing to furnish it new;. The decision is important in that it renders invalid the clause in the As sociated Press contracts forbidding clients from buying news from concerns declared to be antagonistic, such as the New York Sun and Daffan News Bureau. The Inter-Ocean was expelled Grant's No. 24 cures colds. Grant's No. 24 cures La Grippe. Grant's No. 24 cures Catarrhal Head ache. Grant's No. 24 cures Neuralgiac Head ache.

The ground on which the court rendered the decision was that the Associated Press 'had: devoted its property to the public use and that it must submit to be controlled by the public for the common .good. The clause of the contract restricting the sources of news was an attempt at re striction upon trade which could never be looked upon with favor by the courts. The court also held that the law of the Associated Press, declaring that members should not deal with hostile corporations, was not required for corporate purposes and therefore void. CLARK DIDN'T KNOW WHERE MONEY WENT Admitted Contributing to Campaign Fund Tracey's Testimony. Washington, Feb. 19. -Senator Clark, of Montana, occupied the witness chair before the committee who is examining was questioned closely as to his contri butions to the state election in Mon tana and! as to their disbursement. As to the former he frankly admitted that he had contributed about $150,000, and said! the manner in which the Daly people were running the state justified his action. But as to how the money had been disbursed, nothing could be learned! by the committe from him, ex cept that none had been used for brib ery with his knowledge. Dr. William Tracy, of Montana, was also examined. He told of his relations with Judge Hunt. He told the ludre he could get $50,000 if the Wellcome case was dismissed but the judge re fused! to consider it. He also told the judge he would like to see him get the money if he could do it decently, and that there were rumors of his being un der Daly's influence which would in sure Hunt's re-election. Tracy said his actions were simply to test the judge's official integrity. EWAR T CASE REFERRED. Same Sab-Committee to Consider it Again. Special to the Gazette. Washington, Feb. 19.

Vote With Republicans. Two Factions in Separate Conference Last Night. ULTIMATUM SENT BY MIDDLE- OF-THE-ROADERS BUT NOT AN SWERED BY THE BUTLER MEN. FIRST DIVISION OCCURRED OVER CONTESTED DELEGATES. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. xa.The populist national committee split in two min utes after being called to order this af ternoon and both factions are holding separate meetings with ultimatums fly ing thick and fast. It came about through the arbitrary ruling of chair man Butler, who with Senator .ien, is leading the fight to deliver the party into the hands of Bryan. Parker, of Kentucky, the middle-of-the-road lead er, asked who certain names were on the list. Butler replied that the con test committee would decide all ques tions in dispute, and named Allen, Weaver, of Iowa, whose seat was con tested, and Tracy, of Texas, as such committee, and declared the meeting adjourned' until 8 o'clock this evening. The Butler men walked out and the middle-of-the-roaders at once organ ized by making Deaver, of Nebraska, chairman and adjourning until 7 this evening. Then a majority, of the. committee held an open indignation meeting, at which Butler and Allen were denounced At a meeting of the bolters this even ing an ultimatum was prepared and submit ted to the regulars, demanding that all contests be referred to a com mittee composed, of two friends of But ler, two friends of Parker, the four to select the.Jif th, and that no one whose seat was contested should be allowed to vote. Senator Butler's end of the Commit tee did not send any reply to the ulti matum, so the middle-of-the-roaders took a recess. Some sought to attend the meeting of the Butler men, but they were refused admittance. The middle-of-the-roaders declared that there would be two national conven tions unless Butler gave in. PaTker said if Bryan's nomination was forced the populists of the south would vote with the republicans. KNOCKED OUT BY SHARKEY. Detroit, Feb. 19.
