TRIBUTE PAID TO BOBART'S MEMORY The Day Devoted in the Senate to eulogies on tne Late Vice President. A RESOLUTION OF. INQUIRY. As to the Seizure of American Floor by British Ships in Deligoa Bay Sen ator Bntler Introduces a Reso- latloa on Trusts. By Telegraph to the Morning Stay .Tanuarv 10. Beauti ful and impressive .tributes were paid byihe Senate to day to the memory 'of tbe late Vice President Hobart. His intimate personal relations with mapy Senators and his close official affilia tion with all of them rendered bis death a distinct loss to every member of the body, as well as to the country. It was in commemoration of his illus trious career and of his distinguished public service and of his private char acter that the Senate set apart the ses sion to day for the pronouncement of eulogies upon him.' Personal friends and associates and party friends and pary opponents joined iu paying such sincere and eloquent tribute to the memory of Mr. Hobart, to his charac ter and public services as have been seldom paid to any public man. Ad dresses were delivered by Senators Se well and Keane of New Jersey, Daniel of Virginia, Depew of New York, Cockrell of Missouri, Cullom of Illinois, -Davis of Minnesota, Morgan of Alabama, Chandler of New Hamp shire, Lodge of Massachusetts, Caffery of Louisiana, and Allen of Nebraska. Hale Introduces Resolution. Early in the session Senator Hale, Maine, introduced a resolution of in quiry addressed to the Department of State as to the seizure of American flour by the British authorities, which aroused more than usual interest be cause of its attitude' toward Great Britain. To the statement that the property was unjustly detained Sena tor Piatt of Connecticut took ezcep- A 1 1 . a uou, oeueving it ougnt 10 oemoaineu. Senator Hale said the resolution pre sented a matter of vital importance and believed Great Britain ought to be informed of the sentiment in this country. On objection by Senator Lodge, the resolution went over. Senator Hale's resolution follows: "Whereas, property of -citizens of the United States, not contraband of war, has been lately seized by the mili tary authorities of Great Britain and near Delagoa bay, South Africa, with out good reason for same and contrary to tbe accepted principles of -international law; and, "Whereas, said property is now un justly detained by the military author ities of Great Britain in disregard of tbe rights of the owners of the same; therefore, be it "Resolved, By the Senate tf the United States, that the Secretary of State is hereby requested to send . .1 a n iu iuo oeuaie an information in possession of the State De partment relating to said seizure and detention, and also to inform the Senate what steps have been taken in requesting the restoration of property taken and detained as aforesaid, and whether or not the department has in formed the proper British authorities that if said detention is persisted in, such act will be considered aS without warrant and offensive to the govern ment and peoplo of the United States." Butler's Antitrust Resolution. Senator Butler introduced a resolu tion "declaring the duty, power and purpose to destroy trusts by removing the causes that produce them." The plan proposed is to control the issuance of money and to control the railroads and telegraphs and telephone lines by the government, when, the' resolution sets forth, "the three greatest trusts for evil known to civilization will nave been destroyed and at the same time the causes which have logically and inevitably produced the aggregation of great industrial trusts will be forever removed, and the reign of monopoly win do at an end." MisceUeanous business of minor importance occupied the attention of the House to-day until 1 o'clock, after which an hour was devoted to eulo-' giesupon the life and public services , of the late Representative Green, of Nebraska. Mr. Kitchin, of North Carolina, was among the speakers. The House then adjourned until Friday.- . , , THE CAMPAIGN IN LUZON. Filipinos Retire to the Mountains on Ad I Tince of American Troops Abont 100 Insurgents Killed. By Cable to tbe Morning Star. Manila, Jan. 10. Reports from the - movements of the American com man ders south of Manila show that Gen- -eral Bates and General Wheaton are at Peruz Das Marinas, and General Schwan at Silang, all awaiting the arrival of provision wagons. Recon noissances have shown that 2,000 armed insurgents have retired to the mountains from the district between Indanigand Maig, and that others have retreated along the coast from Noveleta toward Batangas. Last night Nolan's squadron of the Eleventh cavalry drove a body of in surgents from Maig. One American was killed and two were wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos were found. The movement largely resembles General Schwan's experiences in the same country, except that the towns are now being garrisoned and that the insurgents refuse to fight, retreating southward and dividing into small bands with the apparent intention of re assembling later. The plan of catch' ing a large number between two brigades has failed, About a hundred insurgents have been killed, but com paratively few arms have been taken. The region is full of amigos, who doubtless have been bearing arms which they have hidden. The women and children remain in their homes and the insurgents, as they fall back. 1 !. . m m release ail tne prisoners iney have cap i urea. . .

His Presence is Expected to Re store Shaken Confidence of Troops at the Front. SUPPORTED BY 30,000 MEN. The Fourth Month of Campalga Brllliaat Victories for British Arms Are An i ticlpated Advices from Lady smith-Saturday's Battle. By Cable to the Morning Star. Loudon, January 11, 4 A. M. Dur: ibg the interlude' of apparent military inactivity and official : secregy. Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchenerpave ar rived at the seat of war. Itsssumed here that their clearer vision, sup ported by thirty-five thousand fresh men who are due to arrive in South: Africa within thirty days, will alter the situation and that the fourth month ol the campaign will witness the be ginning of victories for the British arms. Their presence will restore the shaken confidence of the men at the front in their Generals. Lord Roberts finds 120,000 men on the defensive or watching for an open ing. Lord Methuen's health, accord ing to the Daily Mail, has "broken down," and the field marshal may re lieve him. Possibly some others will be relieved of important commands. There is certainly evidence of rank in South Africa. In addition to tbe field marshal there are two full generals, four lieutenant generals and twelve or fourteen major generals. There is an easy suspicion that when the Ladysmith casualties are an nounced they will be disheartening and will partially destroy the patriotic glow produced by General White's victory. The list of victims of disease issued by the War Office gives twenty-two deaths from enteric fever and dysen-J tery in Ladysmith in four days, re lieving the fact that the besieged are existing amid bad sanitary conditiohs. The Standard summarized the gen eral situation thus: ' Well, the campaign has lasted three months. We have something like 120.000 troops in South Africa. With this huge army distributed over the country we are still powerless to relieve three garrisons from invest ment We havejstill to see large por tions of both colonies in the hands of the enemy. "We have driven the invaders back at no single point. We are actually further from the hostile frontiers than we were on the day that the ultimatum was delivered. The work which min isters believed could be effectually per formed with 25,000 men, has not been done, has not even been begun, by four or five times that number. Can any one fail to admit that this is evidence of a great miscalculation of forces and facts!" The War Office has authorized a special ybemanry corps. Every trooper joining will pay for his own kit and mount, for transport, and for all other expenses, until his arrival in South Africa, and will then give his services to His country and pay for the privi lege into the fund for the widows and orphans the amount he would receive as a trooper. The Times in an editorial criticising at length the government's conduct of the war, alludes to "the stupid and .perverse mistakes" that have been made, and demands that the "practice of the non revelation of facts" be abandoned. It insists strongly upon knowing "the truth and the whole truth" about the situation, and finds fault with Mr. Balfour's defence piece meal. Boers' Loss at Ladysmith. London, January 11. -The follow ing dispatch, dated at JJ rere Uamp. January 10th. noon, has been received by the war Ufflce from General Buller: 'A Transvaal telegram gives the Boers' loss at Ladysmith on Saturday as four killed and fifteen wounded, and this after, .as admitted, they had en dured a withering fire from six masked batteries and been defeated at all points. "Natives here assert that the Uoer loss in one commando alone was 150 killed and wagon loads of wounded. The heaviest loss is said to have been among the Free Staters, who were forced by the Transvaalers into the most dangerous places." I This curious dispatch is all the War Office has issued to-night It makes not the slightest mention of the position or. doings of the British forces. It may oe interpreted to mean mat iadysmitn is safe, but it is more likely intended to prepare the British public for a ter rible list of casualties. " London, January 11. The Durban correspondent of the Standard, tele graphing Tuesday, says that 1,200 stretcher-bearers started for the f rant the previous night but that their de parture was not regarded in Durban an indicative of a renewal of fighting. Boers' Attack on Ladysmith. London. January 11. The Stan dard has received the following, dated January 8th. from" its special corres pondent at Jb rere Uamp: I hear, on good authority, that President fLruger sent word to tne Boer headquarters asking why Lady smith had not been attacked, and that the reply was 'we should lose too. many men.' His answer to this ex cuse was the suggestion that the Free Staters might be put in the fore front Tne bint was taken and tne attack de livered. President Kruger's advice was so far good that the Free Staters behaved better than the Transvaalers have done. At all events they managed to seize a hill. Later in the day the Transvaalers retired before General White's counter attack, amid the jeers of the Free Staters, who actually stuck to their position until after they were bayonetted in the ditch. After this affair it is almost certain that tbe allies will quarrel. 'A heavy gun mounted on Umbul- wana mil has been firing since day break. Evidently the siege of Lady smitnis still maintained." . Artillery Fire Continues. The Daily Mail has the following dispatch, dated January 8tb, from Frere camp: "With tne exception of the usual shelling of. the Boer positions by the naval guns, the British forces remain inactive. "Eight Boer camps were seen to day by a patrol along the Tugela in a westerly direction. All were quiet. reconnoitered near Golenso on Satur day, the Boers hurried from Sorinc field. This supports the belief that Uolenso was weakened to attack Ladv smitn. ! LONDON, January 10. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, dated Monday. January 8th, at. noon, from Frere camp, says: "Firing from the Boer positions around Ladysmith began early to-day. It still continues, but the cannonading is light and, irregular."

The British Qoverament Orders Release of the American Floor Seized Off Delagoa Bay. " By Cable to tbe Morning Btar. London, January 10. The Ameri can flour seized off Delagoa bay has been released. United States 'Ambassador Choate had an interview with the Marquis of Salisbury this afternoon and received a verbal reply to the representations of the Washington government. The British note on this subject was sent later to he United States- embassy. The gist of it was cabled to Washing ton. In brief, food stuffs are not con sidered contraband of war unless in tended ?f or the enemy. The foreign Umce only reached a de cision to day and it was not until Mr. (Jboate s interview with the marquis of Salisbury that a note embodying the provisions was drawn up. tieveral of the government's advisors wanted to make a regulation regarding canned goods, but this was decided to be impracticable. The decision to make flour and grain in transit to the enemy contraband is evidently hedged in by many difficulties of execution, but the Foreign Office believes that investiga tion will generally determine whether the grain is really meant for consump tion at Lorenzo Marques or in the Transvaal. Mr. Choate cabled Lord Salisbury's note to the State Department at Wash ington to-night and Colonel Hay is ex pected to reply accepting the terms. The latter step was not taken by Mr. Choate, as he had at first to receive au thority from the State Department to do so. Washington. Jan. 10. Up to the close of office hours the answer of the British government to Mr. Choate's representations as to the seizure of American flour and other goods had not been received at the State Depart ment, nor has Mr. Choate , yet indi cated when an answer may be ex- !ected, and the State Department, bas ng its judgment on the fact that it is still, at the ambassador's request, col lecting and transmitting to him facts relative to the character of the goods, needed for the full presentation of the case, scarcely expects an immediate answer.- It would of course be grati fied at an early response, but the feelv ing is that anything returned at this moment must be a partial answer, or rather a communication that is calcu lated to throw the matter into the ar gumentative stage. TO START FROM THE BAHAMAS. Privateer Equipped by Boer QevernBient to Prey oa British Commerce. bt Telegraph to the Horning Btar. Savannah, Ga., January 10.
