Lokdok, Jan. 16. The compler ab aence of news from Natal up to S o'clock this afternoon proves that the censor ship will allow nothing to pass until General Buller'e plans are executed or bave failed. Even General Roberts, in bis report of yesterday evening, re frained from mentioning a word about Natal or General Buller. From the other columns there la little news of moment M odder River ad vices of yesterday'a date only report iaily long range shelling, from, which the Boers are supposed to have suffered severely. Advices from Storkstroem, dated Monday, Jan. 15. report that General Gatacre's troops had made a demonstra tion beyond Molteno, in the direction of Stormberg, in the belief that the Boers 1 intended to seize Molteno. The burgh ers were not sighted and the British re mained at Molteno. Arrivals from Stormberg estimate that there are 4,500 Boers at that place, mostly revolted colonists and Freo Staters. President Steyn s brother is the Land Drost. General French continues to shell the Boer positions, but nothing decisive has taken place. Change at llodder. Evidence accumulates that General Methuen's blunder at Magersfontein has lost him the confidence of his entire force to such an extent that, it is de clared, it is doubtful if the troops would follow Mm in another attack on the Boers. " The war office is understood to be in possession of a letter written by Gen eral Waurhope the night before the battle, saying that it would be the last letter he wornd ever write, as he had been asked to perform an impossible task and ha had either to obey or to surrender his sword. An immediate change in the command of the force may therefore be expew.ed. It is anticipated in some quarters that Lieutenant General Tucker will succeed General Msihneu. Mr. Williams, the war expert of The Morning Leader, writing for this morn ing a paper, with the best information obtainable, says this regarding the re port that General Warren has crossed the lugela river: "General Warren, with his division and scheming more, was yesterday 5 miles to the northwest of Springfield, where General Buller then bad his headquarters. Consequently the censor at Durban has been having a little amusement with the local press for the Duroose of deceiving any spies the enemy may have and then confusing them. "All the inferences drawn from any telegrams which have so far reached us must be erroneous. Once and for all Boiler's movement is by the left. There he has his strength. Plans of Duller. "His plan is to turn the heights north and northwest of Uolenso and thus corn Del their evacuation and then to attack any Bo?rs left between him and Gen eral White and make connection with General White's force. "After that he may keep the Trans- vaalers on the run through Natal to Laing' Nek or Gharlestown. or he may decioe on separating the Free Staters from the strong men of war and make with his main torce for Harrismith and Blo-m.'ontein. "News of the first succes of these operations should reach us Wednesday or Thursday. "AH that can be said actually is that General Buller up to yesterday was still at Springfield. "General Warren was on a hill about midway between Springfield and Bethay and General culler bad assuredly one. and it is believed, two passages of the river on his handa "General Buller can spare a sufficient number of irregulars to send a flying column of them into Znluland, nomi nally to check the Boer cattle raiders, but really to work around the extreme eastern flank and head for the Utrecht and Vryheid districts, unless they can cut in on the Transvaal communications' and find themselves at or near the Ladysmith and New Castle railway."

The war office this morning received the following dis patoh from General Buller, dated Springfield, Thursday, Jan. 11,. at 9:30, evening: "I occupied the south bank of the Tugela river at Portgieter's drift .this morning and seized Pont The river is In flood. The enemy is strongly' in trenched about 4 miles to the north." Apart from definite news that Gen eral Buller has commenced a second at tempt to cross the Tugela river,, the only official news this morning.is the list of casualties among the British offi cers in the fight at Ladysmith, Satur day, Jan. 6, showing 13 killed and 27 wounded. The war office ' announces - that the British casualties at Ladysmith Jan. 6. among the rank and file, were 18b killed and 24a wounded. General Buller's movement obviously is of a flanking character, but whether it is intended to push the advance home or whether his operations are only a feint to cover an attack in force on the Boer position at Hiangwana mountain, remains to be seen. COL LOCKE A CANDIDATE. ! Ill .1! II. , Manoalte Wants the Republican Gu bernatorial Nomination. Macon, Jan. 12. Colonel R. D. Locke of Maoon will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Georgia. In speaking of the political outlook in Georgia, Colonel Locke said: "This is the first time that a call for a' Republican state convention has in eluded an announcement of the purpose to name a state tioket We feel that a mistake has been made in failing to contest for state offices and the time has come to rectify it. Whoever our candidate may be he will be able to hold his own on the stump and his Demo cratic opponent will Le invited to dis cuss before the people the politics of the two parties. - "Publio sentiment in Georgia is more tolerant now toward Republican princi ples than ever belore. and while we may not win the state this year, we will strengthen our position and lay the foundation for future success." Colonel Locke served with credit in the confederate army, but has been a consistent Republican since the close of the war. WED ON PASSENGER TRAIN. Romantic Marriage Aboard a Coach Near Newberry.

Hoar and Others Speak on the Question Pettigrew's Amendment Calling For Ins true tions to Peace Men Tabled. Washington, Jan. 16. With tlx opening of the day's session of the sen ate Mr. Cullom of Illinois presented a petition handsomely bound -and . signed by 3,200 negroes asking for such legisla tion, as will proteot the negroes of this country from the "barbarous practice of lynching and burning." - Mr. Cullom asked that the petition be referred to the committee on-judici ary, although he said It might be de sirable to refer it to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Hoar, ohairman of the judiciary committee, said he believed every sena tor would be glad to have such meas. ures adopted as would suppress this wrongdoing and enable the officials enforce the laws. No senator, he thought, would disagree to that He directed attention to the fact that the state laws take cognizance of the crimes referred to in the . petition. By what ojnstituronal method the United states could take action in this question is a aimcult query. Mr. Chandler, chairman of the com' mittee on privileges and elections. thought it desirable to be perfeotly frank, "ihere is no power in congress,' said he, "to prevent or to punish crimes committed In the various states. If the states do not punish crimes for the pun ishment of which they bave enacted laws, no federal law can take the place 01 useless state laws." No Fedrral Liaw. Mr. Chandler said there was no fed eral law under which the violator of even the suffrage laws could be punished. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin There is such federal legislation Mr. Chandler There is not now such legislation. Congress has no constitn tional power to punish such Crimea" Mr. Cullom thought that inasmuch as it involved new legislation, the petition should go to the committee on judiciary, "This subject," Mr. Uullom said. "seems to call for investigation. These people realize that they are being badly treated, ouch treatment is without au thority of law and it ought to be stopped u possible. Mr. Tillman of South Carolina What is the immediate cause of this petition. AJoes It come from unicagor Mr. Cullom replied that the petition came from Uhicago, but that it was signed by people of many states. Mr. bpooner called attention to the seotion of the revised statutes, which provided penalties for violations of fed eral election laws. Mr. Candler said he stood corrected. The senate went into executive 'ses sion at 1:10 p. m. on motion of Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign-relat:on s, who was at the time addressing the senate on the various resolutions and amendments relating to the Philippine archipelago. Speech by Davis. The Minnesota senator made the point of order against the amendment calling for the instructions to the peace commissioners at Paris. This was over ruled and Senator Davis, who was the chairman of the-peace commission, be gan speaking. He finally said he was much embarrassed in speaking of the subject in open session and moved that the doors be closed and the senate agreed to the motion.' After 10 minutes spent in executive session the senate resumed open ses sion. Mr. Davis moved to lay Mr. Pet tigrew's amendment to Mr. Hoar's res olution calling for instructions to the peace commission on tne taoie. The motion prevailed. 41 to 20.
