quartera Friday evening, and the box
waa curried to the room of President
York The wagon waa from the Ver

tent. New Consul to Pretoria.
Washington, Dec. I. Mr. Macrnm,
the United States consul at Pretoria,
Is renewing his appeals to the State
Department to be allowed to le'ave his
post. The department, realising the
pressing necessity of having some ener
fWc and willing representative of the
United States at Pretoria to look after
the Import mt American Interest In
the Transvaal, as well as to carry out
our obligations to care for the welfaro
of British citizens therein, Is striving
to find Some consular officer near Pre
toria who will undertake to relieve Mr.
Macrum. Probably Mr. Bellls, United
Rtates consul at Lorento Marques, will
be asked to undertake the charge.

and la now in the Montgomery County
Jail. Officers are in search of the boya
wanted, and it is supposed they are
hiding somewhere In the country.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 2. Concerning
the reports which have been In circula

succeed himself aa Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, It can
be stated on the authority of Mr. Ban
na's most Intimate frlenda that he has
no desire to manage another campaign,
and that unless very strong pressure
Is brought to bear upon him he will,
in all probability, decline to do ao.

Major General Col llle, commanding
the Guards' HrlKau. . Is his next In

an excellent officer.
It la very likely that another obsti

fore Klmberley Is reached. Refore Lord
Methuen's advunce can be continued
the Modder Hlver will have to be
bildged, :.a parsing f-ips across pon
toons will necessarily consume much
time.
Military experts say that more men
are clearly needed In all directions.
Genral Methuen's column Is still very
weak, and the enemv may by this time
have been able to li. lng up fresh oin
nllMidoes. Ixrd Wolseley has announced that
the War Office has con e to the decision
to call out another division "f 'en
thousand men of all arms for South Af
rica. This will make the seventh divi
sion mobilized since the war began
Ladysmlth Is reported to be all right
and the British Relief force Is now con
centrated at Frere The Boers are In
full retreat toward Colenso. The ereat
Boer stand will undoubtedly be made
at the Tugula River. The available
British force Is about 18,000 men. and
the Bners may be able to put CO.000
men In line.
Klmberley Walta and Watches.
Klmberley, Nov. J7. There were a
few rifle shots early to-day from the
direction of Wright's Farm, but this
was res-arded as merely one of the
numerous Ber tricks to draw men out
by Inducing us to believe that the re
lieving forces are drawing near. This
afternoon the Boers blew up two largre
culverts near the rifle butts on the rail
way line toward Spytfonteln.
The news of the proximity of the re
lieving forces greatly cheers the gr pri
son and the Inhabitants. A few Boom
were seen to-day, but It Is believed that
the enemy Is In only small bnds
around Klmberley, lots of fifty or so,
the greater part havlnsr Rone to Spyt
fonteln, where firing Is be'ieved to have
been heard about noon.
From Kaffir sources comes a report
that there are two large Boer laagers
at Ollfant's Dam, with 150 wagons for
water supply. The Boers have cut the
existing dam, three mtlea distant, al
lowing the water to run down toward
their laagers Into an old dry dam on
the farm. This Is believed to be the
Free State base of operations on the
western border.
The official estimate places the num
ber of Boer shells fired during the bom
bardmrnt of Klmberley at about one
thousand, and ours at no fewer than
six hundred. As the enemy's shells so
frequently hit soft, sandy ground, the
explosive effect Is greatly neutralised.
All our wounded are In a very satis
factory condition. An armored train
proceeded toward Dronfleld to recon
noitre, but this Immediately roused the
nemy's cordite gun, and the train re-
irned after the fifth shell had Ken
ted. The Boers are now firing on the
-rvolr fort from Wimbledon.

the Senator's name with that of Mrs.
Maud, who is now suing her husband,
W. De S. Maud, In Akron, Ohio, for di

much truth In the report as there was
in the story of the Dewey breach "
promise suit. You may say posit l
that, when either the Senator of
Wolcott desires to apply for dlvnri -or
she will do so here in Denver. 1
not think It Is proper or decent to I

N w York, Dec 2 Genral Superin
ten ' nt K C, Russell, of the Del.i ware.
La. I, a wanna and Western Railway,
has civen out the following nf!" lal
statement In regard to the wre k of
the IhirTaio Express on the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western Railway
"Train No. W overtook No 6 at
Dover and picked up a flagman, who
had been sent back. It overtook No S
again nt Lincoln Park, a few miles
west of Paterson, and the No. 6 flag
man returned to his train. Those in
ch.iree of train No. 96 were fully cog
nizant of the whereabouts of No t.
Notwithstanding this. No. 96 seems to
have entered Taterson at a careless
rate of speed and to have run Into No.
6. which was doing her regular dis
charging of passengers.
I understand that the head of No.
6. wh'ih was a long train, was at the
station. The cars telescoped were clay
coaches, but the five ahead w..e a
sleeper, two chair coaches, a baggage
car and a smoker. Under the circum
stances those in charge of No. 96 seem
to be wholly culpable. All the crew
have boon suspended and the fullest in
vestigation w ill be made."
Those most seriously Injured and who
are being cared for at St. Joseph's and
the General Hospital are:
Samuel Mendelsohn, of No. 32 Nor'h
Henkel street. Wllkesbarre, Pa., both
legs broken; David Roe, of Ithaca, N.
Y.. badly Injured about the leg.
J. Sterling Smith. No. 173 Columbia
Hclyhts. Brooklyn, nephew of General

John White, son of F. H. White, left
leg broken, cut by flying glass and
bruised; F. O. Affeld, of Chicago, legs

Hnrnn. Dover N. J . badly cut about the
