Lord Paul Methu en't column, which li advancing to the relief 'of KlmberTey. " i " " ' The battle occurred Saturday morning, bat new of it was not tent out until yes terday. The British censorship con tlnnes strict. , v. . v - The scene of the fight was near Qas Fan, in Western Cape Colony. Gras Pan to ten miles north of Belmont, add IS miles" south of JHrnberley., It ii on the railroad line along which General Uethuen to advancing. The official report of the British co ai rs ander states the Boers retreated, but he does not give many details, leaving it open' question whether the jesab was on the whole favorable to the Brit ish. He says the Boer force engaged numbered 2,600. These were doubtless Free Staters, who have , been operating In that vicinity. The British farce was about 7,000 men. It to known, telegraphs General Hethoen, that the Beer lost at least 81 killed and 48 wounded. Toe British los to not stated, but to presum ably heavy, as the British commander says: "The enemy showed the greatest stubbornness." Gen.' Methuen's force will halt one day at Gras Pan to rest and replenish ammunition. General Metbuen Is no w In hellographle communication with Klmberley. , General Joubert, it I re.ported,vl re tiring from Hool river, Natal, to Lady- smith, and signs point to a strong Boer expedition for the- capture of White army. ' A dispatch from Pretoria, dated last Friday, says the Boers expected v capture Ladysmlih "at tbe end of this week." The British had almost ceased to reply to the Boer artillery fire, indicating perhaps, thst their ammuoltlotrwo ex haueted. Following the supposed retire ment of the Boers, the British - have re stored telegraphic communlcatloa with Ealcourt, . ' ' ' - - ' - On tbe other hand, the retirement o' the Boers may be a sign of Weakness. An Esteourt dlepaxb Indicates that It la be cause they lack food.

Much a some of the Democratic Rep resentatives would, like to have Mr. Roberts refrain from attending "the caucus, It 1 not believed there will be any effort to rale him out. l There- to no question about his having a certificate of election to Congress,- and he has the same rights in a Democratic caucus as any other Democratic Hepresoniative- elect. r- ' - - . The widespread agitation on Hhe Rob ert esse and the general feeling that he should either be refused his seat or, If seated, shoutu be unseated as soon as possible, put the majority in somewhat of an embarrassing position, ; It is significant that while a majority of the members .who have expressed their , view have advised- an impartial Investigation, Bone of them In conver sation bave any hesitancy in saying .that should, the - case prove to be as repre sented Rubcrtsvwill be expelled But probably the most expeilenced parlla mentarlan la Washington' predicted this iveulng that a majority could not be obtaloed against admitting.

The smoke of that battle bad hardly cleared away before we saw tbe shadow - of the great Amerlcau republic flung . vast, beneficent and tar ever Ahe tropic hits and populous coasts ot Asia. Thus, in new and unexampled souse,' America has become a world power. And the peopl have clearly expressed unalterable pur pose to remain such. - The -higher, more confident, more aspiring' Americanism, utterlv scornful of the pessimistic de traction! of bur national vigor, and vir tue, has accepted as divine provldonces the results of the war which no one foresaw, .
