If I should die to-night My friends would look upon my quiet face Before they laid it in its resting place, And deem that death had left it al most fair: And laying snow white flowers against my nair, Would smooth it down with tearful tenderness.

Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought; Sorre gentle word the frozen lips had " said 5 Errands on which the willing feet had sped, The memory of my selfishness and pride, My hasty words, would all.be put aside.

Would look upon me as of yore, per chance, And soften in the old, familar way. For who could war with dumb, un conscious clay ? So I might rest, forgiven of all, to- nioni.

A Strong British Force Moving to Secure the Crossings on I Orange River. A BRUSH WITH THE BOERS. The Sltsatlon at Ladysmltb Report from Brussels That Capitulation Is Hourly Expected Rumor That Boiler Sustained Another Defeat. . By Cable to the Morning Star. London, January 14, 4 A. M, The veil concealing the theatre of war from the anxious eyes of Great Britain and the rest of the world is still un lifted. It is impossible to doubt that this absolute closing of all the chan nels of information is due to the cen sorship, the strictness of which has been redoubled since the landing of Lord Robert and Lord Kitchener, concerning whom nothing has tran spired since the announcement of their arrival at Cape Town four days ago. The War Office stated at midnight that no further news from the front had been received and none from any other source has come to hand during the night. As usual when news is scarce, the rumor-mongers have been busy. The latest story floated was that intelligence had reached the head quarters of the Scots Guards that Gen eral Buller had again sustained a seri ous defeat. Inquiry at Wellington barracks showed that while such a rumor had reached there, it was neither official nor in any form deserving of credence. French's Troops Moving. Renesburg, Cape Colony, Jan. 9. A strong force of British troops ad vanced this morning under cover of a brisk artillery fire and encamped at Slingerfontein on the Boers eastern flank. The Boer patrols retired, but subsequently a body of Boer's at tempted to seize the position, threat ening communication between the British encampment at Renesburg. The New Zealanders, with a brilliant dash, frustrated the attempt. They raced and seized the position first and fired volleys at the enemy who retired in the direction of Colesburg. London, January 13. The move ment of General French's troops in the vicinity of Colesburg is taken to indicate that Lord . General Roberts has recognized the importance of Gen eral French's objective, namely, to ob tain command of both bridges across the Orange river and has hastened to send him reinforcements. It is .also thought to partially confirm the sug gestion that General Buller's plans include- synchronous movements in all the spheres of operation. - . Around Ladysmltb. Vienna, Janury 13.

It is possible that the news received in Vienna by way of Brussels from Pretoria may refer to the fighting of Saturday last, January 6th, when the Boers captured the British trenches three times and were thrice driven out at the point of the bayonet, and to the fact that the Boers occupied one British position all day long, only ing driven out or it at mgnt. ' Volunteers Going to Africa. London, January 13. Though many stirrine scenes have marked tae departure of the British troops for the front during recent months, to day's outburst of patriotism, on the occasion of the starting of , London volunteers, was quite unprecedented since the Jubilee. It is the first time in the his tory of the movement that British volunteers have been permitted' to serve side by side with the regulars in real warfare, and the people turned out in hundreds of thousands to fittingly celebrate it. The crowds thronged the route in such proportions that a de tachment of the Lord Mayor's Own were engulfed at various stages of the march. : Finally the column reached Nine Elms station, bearing numberless traces of the difficulties of the march. The public was excluded, the final leave takings being held outside, and the volunteers were entrained and depart ed amidst a co-mingling of band music and cheering and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," "Rule Britannia" and "God Save the Queen." , The Lor J Mayor, sheriff s and coun cillors, ki their state robes, accom panied by many ladies, took another special train for Southampton to bid farewell to the volunteers on board the transport Briton. The latter ar rived: soon after the Lord Mayor's party and were saluted with ringing cheers from a huge assemblage on the quays as they boarded the liner. PHILIPPINE ADVICES.

Tammen, proprietors of the Evening Post, were both shot in their office at noon to day by W. W. .Anderson, a prominent local attorney. It is not believed that either was mortally injured. Both were able to walk to carriages that car ried them homeA After the shooting Anderson! walked out of the office un molested,: but later was arrested. The exact cause of- the shooting is not known. Anderson went to the edi torial room of the Post and entered the office of Bonfils and Tammen, "Polly Pryi" a well known newspaper woman, was also in the room. It is understood that Anderson objected to something that had appeared in the Post and demanded retraction and that Bonfils and Tammen both at tempted to put him out of the office. Then he commenced to shoot. THE KENTUCKY CONTEST. Situation May Be Serious If Republican Incumbents Refuse to Vacate, as They Threaten to Do. V By Telegraph to the Meming Star. Frankfort, January 13. The situa tion in the contests for Governor and the State officers,, and the question of what is going to happen when the final result is declared, are to night fruitful of thie most extravagant speculation. If the adherents of the contestees, the Republican incum bents of the State offices, carry out the line of procedure they now threaten, by refusing to vacate even in case the Legislature decides in favor of the Democratic contestants, the situation will be serious, and if the statements of some of the men high in the coun cils of the State are to be credited, this is what they propose to do. J. Hampton, secretary of the Re publican State Central Committee, said to-day that the talk of holding an anti Goebel State convention here next week was purely an invention, but he predicted that several thousand anti-Goebel men from all parts of-tbe State would be here to protest by their presence against unseating Taylor and Marshall and to sustain them if the Legislature votes to turn them out. He denied that any of those now here are soldiers in citizens' clothes, as charged by the Goebel Democrats. James Andrew ocott, one of toe at torneys for the contestants- in minor State contests, said to-night: V'The importation of soldier j and thugs here for the purpose, of intimi dating the Legislature will not work. They are bluffing and no trouble' will occur. As for their threats that they will hold on in spite of the decision by the Legislature they may do this for a few days, but the courts would recog nize the regular State government, and if Mr. Taylor does not then give in, he will subject himself to prosecu tion and all the penalties against usur pation, which I r ave no idea he will want to encounter." Most of the Democratic leaders coin cide with Scott; Ex Governor Brad ley and all of the Republican leaders hold that the contest proceedings are being conducted in an arbitrary man ner without regard to the law and that for these reasons the decision, if ad verse to Taylor, should not be binding on him. They file a bill of specifica tions as to their objections to the trial of contests and the reasons why the proceedings are all illegal. The sum total of these, according to Governor Taylor's attorneys, brings the ease within some of the inhibitions of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal constitution. The Republican State Committee, through its officers and the organiza tion formed by disaffected Democrats during the recent campaign, has issued statements reviewing the political campaign and calling upon its constitu ents for their support The appeal issued by the "honest Democrats" says : "The Democratic party has been put in the position of an enemy to the public peace and a menace to popular institutions with a' record of unparal leled outrages during the past year. We are about to enter upon a national campaign ; the probable leader in this campaign has made himself the asso date and the supporter of the men who were repudiated at the polls. He is to return next week to Kentucky to aid the conspirators in driving from office men who have been elected. The future is dark with threatened danger of the gravest character." THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN. Imperialism and TruBts to Be the Main Issue Free Sliver Side-tracked Bryan ia New York. By Tele2!SMfcto4aa Morning Star. New York, January 13. In con nection with the approaching visit of William J. Bryan to New York, the Evening Post to day says : "It was learned to-day that great effort will be made to induce Mr. Bryan to speak, while he is here, on the lines indicated in recent inter views, by Eliot Danforth, chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee that is, to treat imperial ism and trusts as the main issues of the campaign and avoid giving undue prominence to the sixteen to one issue. Mr. Bryan has made several speeches already on these lines, and it is believed that he can be induced to leave silver in the background while he is in what is called 'the enemy's country.? ''The dinner to be given to Mr. Bryan by O. H. P. Belmont on Janu ary 22nd will be a sort of preliminary. Man of the party leaders of the State, as well as representatives of the Chi cago platform Democrats, will sit at Mr. Belmont's tables, and it is said an attempt will.be made to bring both wings of the party together in order that a harmonious delegation can be sent to the national convention. Mr. Bryan has given many indications lately that he desires harmony in New York State. He has curbed the enthu siasm of his silver followers here and has shown a disposition to court the favor of Tammany. He has also been in close communication with Eliot Danforth, who has taken upon him self the task of harmonizing the party so .that Bryan can get New York's electoral votes." BOER SYMPATHISERS. A Mass Meeting in Philadelphia About f 2,000 in Attendance. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Philadelphia, January 13. A pro Boer mass meeting was "held in the Academy of Music here to-night un der the auspices of the Irish, and German-American societies. There were about 3,000 people in attendance and speeches were made by a number of prominent persons, including judges of the courts and clergymen. Resolutions were adopted express ing sympathy for the Boers and ask ing Congress to do the same; oppo sing any alliance with any foreign power, and especially : condemning one with England as : "un-American and opposed v to the traditions of 'the republic."; '.'-),: BRYAN MAKES DENIAL. That He Has Changed Hit Views Regard ing Free Wool Importation. By Telegraph to the Morning star. -Columbia, Mo.. January 13 CoL Wm. J. Bryan addressed the students of Missouri University here to-night in the college chapel before an audi ence that-taxed the auditorium to its utmost. When asked regarding the report that he had changed bis views on the matter of free wool im portation and had asserted that in be half of Western dealers and manu facturers he would, if elected Presi dent, favor a tariff on wool, Mr. Bryan stated most emphatically that he had made no statement whatever to the effect that he had changed his former views on the question. Felix Morris, the character, actor, died yesterday at his home in New York city, aged 53 years. LOST STEAMER STILL UNKNOWN. Seas Are Breaking Over the Skip ; and Running Mountain High Against the Rocks. MANY DEAD BODIES VISIBLE. Wreckage Strewn Along the Strand Most of the Bodies Only Half Cloth ed and Some Dismembered Salvors to Begin Work. By Cable to tee Horning 8tar. St. John's, N. F., January 13. The name of the steamer wrecked and on fire on a reef in St. Mary's bay is still unknown. The weather continued rough to day and the fisher folks were unable to board her. She is wholly submerged and her hull is badly bat tered. There is a noticeable improve ment in the weather to night, how ever, and it is believed that it Will be possible to get full news to-morrow. At present the seas are breaking over the ship and running mountain high against the rocks. Much wreckage is strewn along the strand, and manv bodies, some of. th m dismembered, are visible. Portions of 1 the boats remain hooked to the blocks and this is taken to indicate that; the boats were swamped in lowering and that their crews perished. Most of the bodies are only half clothed. r Thd wind is now off the land, and the wreckage is not coming ashore. Therefore no knowledge can be gained regarding the ship's cargo or her pas sengers, if she carries any. A watch has been maintained along the cliff ever since the people got there and fires are kept burning at night and flags waving by day as a signal to any boats' crews which may have escaped. It is not considered likely, however, that any succeeded in getting away from the wreck. Derricks were erected to-day at likely points to lower men down to morrow to recover the bodies washed up, and if possible to discover the name of the vessel from the wreckage. Divers will be sent here if it is found to be impossible to obtain the steamer's name by other means; but nobody now cares to act until instructions are received from the owners. . The recovery and burial of the dead bodies of the ship's company have been ordered by the marine department' The cruiser Fiona from Fortune bay should reach the sceneof the wreck to-morrow. T No reports have been received from any localities whither wreckage, bodies or boats might be expected to drift , FIRE IN AUGUSTA. The Harrison Block Opposite the Union .. Depot ia a Blaze.
