RENSBERO DISPATCH SAYS SE VERE FIGHTING OCCURRED DURING BRITISH RETREAT. London, Tuesday, 7 p. m. A dispatch from Rensberg to the Evening News says severe fighting occurred during the British retreat, the various out posts on both sides suffering heavy losses. It is doubtfur if Rensberg can be held. London, Feb. 13. A private telegram received here says: '"The force com manded by General Wood has moved up from the southward and seized Zoutpans drift, which it now holds." The cessation of war news from South Africa is taken to indicate that British preparations for a move from Modder river are about completed and that important events can be anticipat ed with a few days. Interest centers almost wholly upon Field Marshal Roberts, especially since Buller's report of his withdrawal from Vaalkrantz came for the first time through Roberts, showing that all the different operations will hereafter be more completely co-ordinated. A dispatch from Modder river an nounces the arrival there of 1,400 refu gees from Barkley West district. They were ordered away by the Boers be cause they refused to join the republi cans. It is learned that 200 Boers were kill ed or wounded during General McDon ald's reconmoissance. There is no confirmation of the re ported sortie of 'British troops from Ladysmith nor of an outflanking movement. A report comes front Durban that British artillery forced the Boers to evacuate their camp at Hlwangwana hill, south of Colenso. It wouM be an important advantage if the British were able to oocupy that position. The absence of General French from the Rensberg district seems to have given the Boers opportunity for re newed activity. They have apparently commenced an extended attack on the British lines and are meeting with mi nor successes, which are having con siderable moral effect on the border colonists. RHODES' FATE. , The Boer invasion of Zululand is causing keen anxiety. Apart from the fact that it threatens Buller's supplies it is difficult to believe that the Zulus can be long kept quiet. Friends of Cecil Rhodes are becom ing alarmed at his possible fate and have sent an emissary to see Dr. Leyds, diplomatic agent of the Boers in Europe, in regard to the probable course the Boers will pursue in the event of his capture. Dr. Leyds assured the intermediaries that the Boers did not intend to kill Rhodes, but added that they would certainly hoH him as a hostage until Indemnity for the Jameson raid was paid. In view of developments since the raid, the Boers have also decided to double the amount of indemnity de manded, so Rhodes' friends will have to hand over two million pounds ster ling before he is released. It is learned definitely that Jameson is still at Ladysmith. OUTPOSTS DRIVEN IN. Rensberg, Monday. The Boers have again driven in the British outposts on their western flank today, all the outposts at Bastards Nek, Hobkirks, windmill and other points retiring to Maeders farm. There were several casualties but details are not yet re ceived. Rensberg, Tuesday. The Boers are actively pressing around Rensberg. The British force under Lieutenant Colonel Page, consisting of a section of artillery and 150 horse, which reached Sllngersfontein February 10, has been compelled to fall back on Rensberg. owing to the eastern flank being threatened. KIMBERLEY BOMBARDED. London, Feb. 13. The war office has posted a dispatch from Colonel Keke wich, dated Sunday, February 11, to the effect that Klmberley was bom barded throughout Thursday, the 8th. During the morning of February 9 a small engagement lasting two hours occurred at Alexandersfontein. The situation otherwise Is unchanged. PROF. HA MILL'S LECTURE. Inclement Weather Causes a Small At tendance. The lecture by Prof. Hamill, general secretary of the International Sunday School Workers association at the First Baptist church last evening had a very small attendance, owing to the heavy fall of rain at the time. A lec ture was also to be given In the after noon but was omitted as Prof. Ham ill's coming was delayed by the wreck at Black Mountain. Those who attended the lecture last evening, however, were well repaid for whatever Inconvenience they experi enced. Prof. Hamill proved to be a very interesting speaker. His remarks related to the best and most approved methods of Instructing Sunday school classes. In connection with his lecture was a blackboard outline of his meth ods. The Sunday school teachers pres ent received a great deal of valuable instruction. Prof. Hamill left for his home In Illi nois last night. SOLDIERS' SANITARIUM.

The house mil itary committee is expected to give a decision today on tire bill now pending before that body which provides for establishing sanitariums for the Na tional soldiers' home at Hot Springs, S.

Philadelphia. Feb. 13. General Nel son A. Miles today laid the cornerstone of the memorial tower to be erect ed at the entrance to the University of Pennsylvania's dormitory in honor of those members of the alumni who served in the Spanish war. The cere monies were very impressive. LOOKING BACKWARD FOR A f WELVEUONTH GREAT CONTRAST BETWEEN TO DAY AND THAT COLjJ THIR TEENTH LAST FEBRUARY. The thermometer registered 53 de grees at noon today, which is about 65 degrees above what it was February 13 of last year, today being the anniver sary of the coldest day Asheville expe rienced in the memory of the oldest In habitant. On that memorable dy the street cars suspended operations, no sessions of the city schools were held, and frozen noses and ears were the portion of a majority of those who ventured forth in the cold much oi the day. The Flower Mission had the busiest period in its history, and almost innum erable calls for coal, wood and provis ions were arwered A supply, .of coal was kept at city hall to supply callers as needed, and arrangements were made by which provisions were sup plied from grocery stores at a distance from the center of town. All day there was a long line of applicants at city hall. The great difficulty lay 1 getting enough teams to attend to the de mands. There was a generous response to ap peals for help and more tnan 3100 was subscribed during the day, besides gifts of provisions. The suffering in the city was great. At one place visited by a city official a sick man huddled in bed with his wife and baby beneath a cov ering of rags, while the snow lay thick ly upon the entire floor. In another tenement an old woman appeared on the verge of freezing and a number of women Were in like destitution. Sever al of the churches were kept open and heated oji the nisht of the 13th. But today, one year later well, the weather is fine enough for even the groundhog. The sun has been working much of the day, and the smile of spring is over everything. EXCITING DAY ON COTTON MARKET THE TRADING WAS LARGER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL YEARS. New York, Feb. 13. The cotton mar ket opened 19 to 22 points higher on near months and 10 to 18 points higher on new crop positions. Though the rise was largely in sympathy with the startling advance of six to 11 points in the English market, the official rating of "steady" for our opening was hard ly in keeping with events. The market was very excited all through the morning. With springs of prices frequent artd violent the smaller operators became nervous and with drew, pending a return of normal spec ulative conditions. Leading bulls continued t-offer ag gressive support on the assumjHion that Europe is still staggering along with an enormous short interest unpro tected, while conservative bear traders sold on the theory that the advance in prices for the past six weeks had ex ceeded all reason and that a emphat ic reaction should transpire for the best interests of the market. Contradictory explanations are made of Liverpool's great advance. By some cables the strength abroad was accredited to manipulation from thi side, mainly from New York. Other ad vices stated that continental shorts and New Orleans interests had been forced by the holiday here to buy in Liverpool at a time when that market was exceptionally strong tand sellers exceedingly scarce. Inability of spin ners' representatives in the south to secure cotton is also mentioned as an important factor in predominating in fluence. Dispatches from the south stated that spot markets were strong with prices 3-16 to 1-4 higher on urgVit demand from exporters and domestic spinners. Soon after call prices broke 9 to 12 points under an influx of realizing or ders and weaker subsequent English news. The decline was followed by another upward spurt on strong late cables and renewed heavy buying here. The trading was by far the largest In several years. NOMINATIONS SENT INf. J. J.

The Okla homa Live Stock association, embrac ing stockmen from southern Kansas. Oklahoma and northern Texas, met here today for a two days' session.

SPEECH FULL OF EPIGRAMMATIC SENTENCES, EACH A MARVEL "( OF CONCISENESS AND FORCE ', Eugene V. Debs, the noted labor ad vocate, spoke to a large audience at the Grand opera house for two hours last evening, his subject being "Labor and jJberty." Those in attendance includ ed not only the laboring men of the ity, but business and professional men, and men of all classes. There were also a number of ladles. The speaker was introduced by Hon. Locke Craig, who said that he wanted to thank, his friends of Central Labor pnlon for the honor of introducing Mr. Debs to that magnificent audience. Mr. Debs, he said, was a man with convic tions and with the courage of his con victions, and neither civil nor military authority could prevent him from peaking them. Mr. Debssaid: "Ladies and gentle men: The privilege of addressing you this evening under the auspices of Cen tral Labor union is appreciated far more than mere words can express." He said that however much those pres est might differ with his views, he hoped his lecture would be fruitful of good results. In the discussion of these questions he would make no appeal to prejudice of the audience, but would address himself to its reason. CENTURY CLOSING STRUGGLE. This century, be saidv was closing in the greatest struggle in the history of the world. Centralization and competi tion were the master forces of this age. Mr. Debs cited "The Man With the Hoe" as showing the degraded condi tion of the laboring man. He recited the poem, and he recited it very well. He inveighed against the competitive system. It was brought about, he said, by the introduction of machinery, and to the latter he ascribed all the social evils of the day. "'A thousand years ago," he said, "man used very simple tools. He could employ himself and as he controlled the tool with which he worked, he was the master of the product of his labor. The harder he worked the more he gained. He produced solely for private profit. No man Is now employed except that there is a profit on his labor. When labor was done by hand, there was not a tramp. How to make a living then was an easy matter. .In tens of thou sands of instances now men ara waJk" ing hunger tanks, their wife a rag, anl their children machine oil. In days of hand labor, men looked forward to be ing the employer instead of the em ployed. NowTt is just the reverse, ex cept in a few instances which simply prove the rule. THE MACHINE. "The machine appeared. First came the subdivision of labor, and the spe cialization of work. When the machine apeared it pushed the working men out in the street, first to swell the ar my of unemployed and later the army of tramps. The laboring men attempt ed to destroy the machine, out it in creased. A short while ago we were assured that no machine could ever be (Continued on second page.) ATTRACTIVE SCHOOL ROOMS. The Effort Being Made at the Orange Street School. Euitok The Citizen: The subject of school room decoration is one that is receiving widespread attention Just now, and justly so. Parents and teach ers alike have come to the conclusion that the unattractive interiors of school rooms are not calculated and cannot be expected to be productive of the best educational results. If we would have our children delight in go ing to school, we must provide pleas ing surroundings for them. Even the strongest personality of teacher and the most attractive text books, it has been found, are not sufficient. The "whole child nust go to school." He must find there food for his whole being, or his will be a onesided education. The public generally are becoming aware of this vtecessity and hundreds of thousands f dollars are being con tributed to the public schools of this country for school room, decoration. One school in Massachusetts recently collected as much as $1500 by subscrip tion for this purpose; another in Den ver, Col., collected $500 by various de vices, such as giving public entertain ments, etc., and so the movement has spread over the whole country in the last few years. This money is usually spent for copies of the great master pieces of art In painting and sculp ture. The patrons and teachers of Ashe ville have Just begun to do something in the way of making attractive school rooms within the past year, the school committee have been kind enough to tint the walls of the school rooms in beautiful and appropriate colors, thus making a good background for hand some pictures. Some pictures have been purchased and placed upon the nails and the effect has been so pleas ing and has met with such wide spread approval that the teachers and chool officers have been much encour aged. The children have taken a great interest in this work. Many of the grades have purchased as many as two, three and four copies of master pieces to adorn their walls. , Thus encouraged a committee has been appointed at the Orange street school for the purpose of raising mon ey with which to purchase pictures and casts for the school. The first effort of this committee is in the form of an entertainment to be given on Wash ington's birthday.. The proceeds will 0 toward the purposes for which the committee was appointed. It is ex pected that the public generally will aid- in- this first great effort at school room decoration in Asheville. R. J. TIGHE. Principal Orange Street School. PROMPT RESPONSE.
