When the Howaiian bill was up to day Representative White introduced an amendment to strike out the section of the bill requiring voters to pay a poll tax and be able to read and write. He was supported by Representative Iiianey, who set up a long wail on the present North Carolina election laws and the proposed amendment. Representative Kluttx srot the floor for a few moments in reply to the' "Bull of the Brushes," Aid made Lin- Bsy's argument look like mincemeat.

Burghers who are returning here from the scene of the Saunas Post ambuscade (also referred to as Karee and Ko-n Spruit) furnish interesting details of the occurrence. It appears that when the first retreating British wagon entered the drift the ambus caders shouted "Hands up!' re moved the driver, and let the cart go tnrougn. mis process was repeated several times, until the wagons arrived in a buiica, when the ruse was dis covered and a disorderly fliaht fol lowed.

Altogether, the Boers captured 289 prisoners through out ine day. Fooght By Free Staters. oe significance or tbe battle must not be underrated. It was fought by a force of Free Staters, on the flat plains and without shelter. The Free Suters are now desirous of marching on Bloemfontein and the Transvaalers are anxious to emulate the late suc cess of their allies. AH the Southern Boer forces have now formed junctures with tbe main Boer army and form a large force of veterans. Captures of Great Importance. Perhaps of greater importance even than the victory was the capture of British secret paper, iocludine maps ana plans of 1897, 1898 and 1899. out lining elaborate schemes for the ia vasioo of the Orange Free 8tate and tne lransvaal, and giving a plan for reaching Johannesburg from Mafek ing along Dr. Jameson a route, but amended so as to avoid his mistakes.

Daring to day's brief open session of the Senate Senator Galhnger, of New Hampshire, presented an argument against the neat ing of Hon. M. 8. Quay as a Senator from Pennsylvania. He devoted him self almost entirely to the-constitu tional phases of the question. Host of the day wan spent in executive session. senator Jones, of Arkansas, pre sented the credentials of J O. S. Black burn as a Senator from Kentucky, for tbe term of six years, beginning March 4tb. 1901.

Of course there are agitators in Cuba, but among the Cubans generally there is the ut most confidence in the United States. Senator Gallinger. New Hampshire, then called up tbe Quay resolution. Me maintained that the Governor of Pennsylvania ought to hare called a special session of the Legislature to elf ct a Senator after it had adjourned witbout an election. In conclusion. Senator ' Gallinger said he opposed the seating of Mr. Quay because such action would be a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the constitu tion; because be was opposed to giv ing the Governor absolute right to make appointments of Senators in any circumstances; because tbe Leg islature, having adjourned without election, had voluntarily relinquished part of its representation in the Senate; and because it would intro duca into our institutions a Pandora's box, causing endless confusion in Legislatures of tbe States. ine senate then went into execu tive session. At 4 40 the Senate resumed business in legislative session. Tbe unfinished business was tern porarily laid aside and tbe Aiaskan civil code bill was laid before tbe Senate. Some formal amendments were about to be proceeded with when the Senate at 4.45 P. M. ad journed. Hong ot Representatives.

Mr. DeArmond, of Missouri, moved to strike from Section fi. extending the constitution and all laws of the Uniud States locally applicable to the islands tbe words "the constitution and." Tbe amendment waa in lin with Mr. DeArmond's speech of Tuesday, in which he argued tnat the constitution already extended over tbe islands and that if it did not Congress was power leas to project it there. Mr. Knox opposed the amendment which, he said, raised the whole Ques tion as to the extension of the consti tution upon which the House was di vided. Tbe amendment waa lost 78 to 87. White, North Carolina, the colored member, offered an amendment. bicb was lost to strike from thn qualification of voters for representa tives the provision requiring the pay ment of poll tax. Mr. Williams, Mississippi, offered an amendment reauirinir the payment of the Poll tax nine months nrior to the election. He aaid it waa theuni versa! experience of 8tates having a poll tax law that where it could be paid iust before tbe election it became a means of corruptipg voters.

Mr. Pugh, Kentucky, moved to strike out the provision requiring that voters anouia be able to speak, read and write the English or Hawaiian language. It was lost. Mr. Underwood.

What ever the reasons may be, considerable dissatisfaction is beginning to be ex pressed here at the unaccountable delay, both at Bloemfontein and in Natal, which enables the Boers to re cover from the demoralization caused by Lord Roberts' former movements. The enemy evidently now hope to retard the advance by threatening the railway behind Lord Roberts. So far as the Natal railways are concerned. repairs are being made beyond islands laagte, and the idea, so often repeated, is tbat an advance is imminent. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Lady smith says that the. Boer in vesting positions reveal immense strength, ingenious construction and immunity from the British stirapntl and Lyddite fire. A dispatch from Ladysmith to the Daily Chronicle give serious news of the outbreak of a deadly lung sickness among the oxen, which, if it spreads, is likely to cripple General Bulier's operations.

"An important engagement lasting several hour was nought yesterday afternoon at Bosman K p between the Boer and British outposts.

Boers Have Not Lost Hope. Pbktoeia, April 2. In his speech at tbe opening of tbe Free State Raad, President Steyn declared tbat in spite of the surrender of Bloemfontein he had not lost hope of tbe triumph of the republican cause. Tbe war, he said, was forced upon the Transvaal and nothing remained for tbe Orange Free Slat but to throw in its lot with the sister Republic, in ac cordance with tbe terms of the treaty. Tbe president further remarked tbat tbe attempt to create disseotion among tne burghers, by tbe issuing of pro clamations had failed. Planer's Attack Repulsed.' London, April 5. 155 P. M. A p-cial oppttch from Lorenzo Mar qies says sharp fighting occurred April 2d in the neighborhood of ing. The garrison mad a sor tie, while Col. Plumer's cavalry a'-' tacked tne Boers at Ramathlabama.

LONDON, April 5 Detached bodies of Boer horse, numbering from five hundred to one thousand each, have appeared at several places to tbe south ward and eastward of Bloemfontein, threatening the railroad, but comma nication by rail and wire is not in the least affected. One of. these forces is near Spriogfontein, on the east Bloem fontein railroad and General Gatacre'a forces are reported to be about to en gage it. Lord Roberts; except to safe guard the railroad, seemingly declines to send columns chasing the Boer bands. He is reserving his cavalry and transport animals' for the forward movement. Explanations having indirect origin in the War Office as to why Lord Roberts is in active are, tbat there has been a lack of borses for re-mounts, but new horses are arriving by train loads hour ly. Tbe pressure on the railroad is so great that private parcels atd the offi cers' newspapers have not been for warded from Cape Town for three weeks. Affairs in the Free State. Tbe situation in tbe Free 8tate re mains far from cleor and is unsatisfac tory to British observers The sick ness among the Boer prisoners at Simonstown continues to increase. Five men died April 3-d The prison oners who were on board the trans port Mongolian have been transferred to the shore camp. Unless the sick ness abates, it is not likely that more prisoners will be sent to St. Helena.
