Harrisburg, Feb. 9.-Henry w. Oil
yer, jr., the republican caucuss nomi-
nee for U. S. senator, has formally
withdrawn.
Crows letter to the republicans of the
assembly says the senatorial contest
has been so protracted that he must
express his idea of the matter. 1t is an
honorable ambition to represent Penn
sylvania in the United States senate,
and with that ambition he became a
candidate and received the republican
nomination, and was entitled to every
republican vote as the caucus nominee.
Doubtless all his opponents in the party
are actuated by upright and conscien.
tious motives, and so far they have
his entire respect, although he disap-
proves such course. Certainly there
are many men in the state worthy of
the high homer, and recognizing that,
owing to the refusal of large and
respectable number of republicans to
join in the support of the caucus nom-
inee, his election is impossible, and he
was therefore no longer candidate.
He thanked them for the man.

Durham, Feb. 9.-General Geo. p.
Colley's forces yesterday attacked and
defeated the Beers between New Castle
and the frontier at Ingogo river. The
British loss was 149 killed and wounded,
The officers killed were McGregory, of
the engineers, Grier, of the artillery,
and O'Connell and Garrett, both of the
sixteenth regiment. The Beers lost
heavily.
General Colley moved towards New
Castle yesterday with five companies of
the sixteenth rifles and a mounted
force to restore communication between
his camp and New Castle. The Beers
made a general attack upon the British
and the British repulsed them with a
heavy loss. The fighting lasted six
hours. Colley's position became criti-
bal the Beers taking a commanding po-
sition on all sides.
General Colley's object was to escort
mails over the Ingogo river, and meet a
convoy from Newcastle. The Boers'
opposition was so strong that Gen. Col
ley had to send for three more compa-
nies of troops, to reinforce the original
force of five companies; he thus left
only 300 men in camp. The Beers got
in the rear of his force and captured
the mule train and ambulances and
some goods. He was for time un-
able to Advance, a aretreat being assailed
on all sides.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Per City of
Toxic from Hong Kong, Jan. 18th,
come the following adyices: 1t is
rumored that Ii Hung Chong will

the purpose of inspecting the arsenal
there. Two master plate layers have

at the arsenal where work on the iron
vessels of war is soon to be commenced.
The forts near the mouth of the river
and along the river are being garri-
soned. The viceroys of the provinces
on the eastern coast are still engaged in
warlike preparations and Russian de-
scent in the spring is looked upon as
inevitable.

Ii Hung Chang has memorialized the
government recommending the intro
duction of railways:
The American merchants do not
think favorably of the rumored pur-
pose of the new United States treaty

too much and yet too little. The
foreign newspapers in China and
Japan regard it with dissatisfaction
and characterize it as farce.
Yokohama, Jan. 22.-The national
agricultural and industrial exhibition
will be opened in Toxic March 1st. Six
classes of medals will be awarded and

London, Feb. 9.-The most impor-
tant documents in the Russo-Afghan
correspondence are as follows:
A draft Of a secret treaty, signed
August 7th, was negotiated by Stol-
ietoff, by which Russia bound herself
to perpetual friendship with Afghanis-
tan and undertook to assist the ameer
against foreign enemies. and by which
the ameer agreed to communicate with

In October, '7s, Stolietoff wrote from

as follows: "The enemy of your IA
NOUS religion wants to make peace
with you through the sultan of Turkey.
You should look to your brothers on
the other side of the river, and make
peace openly, but in secret prepare for
war;" The correspondence also reveals
the plan for melting rebellion among
the Mohammedans in India.

New York, Feb. "a fire broke out
this morning in the five story iron front

1t originated among aquantity of waste
in the cellar of the building which was
occupied by the Western Electric CON-

gained headway and spead to the first

boys and over 80 women were employed
in the building and the greatest wonder
is that none were injured as the smoke
was densely thick and suffocating.
Some men were slightly singed in DASH

Gov. Murray stim Explaining

New York, Feb. 0.-Gov. Murray of
Utah said to Herald reporter yester-
day: 1 never had clearer or more
forcible conviction in my life than that
according to the law of the United
States Allan G. Campbell was the citi-
zen who had received the highest num-
ber of votes and was consequently elect
ed to congress. All the side issues with
which the people have sought to invest
this question and all the stuff about
gentle prejudice fade from sight in this
clear and unmistakable atmosphere OF
facts and law.
Judge Mcbride, who is with Murray
at the Fifth avenue hatel, says he can
furnish evidence at the proper time
that for five years preceding the Goth OF
Nov, '54, ten days before the date OF
Cannon's alleged certificate of citizen
ship, Cannon was in the Sandwich is
lands doing the work Of the latter day
saints.
1t appears that when he came home
in November the legislature was about
to assemble and the mormons wanted
to elect Cannon sergeant-at-arms and as
he had no citizenship, he was forthwith
furnished with the document which he
now claims as d right. The judge says
that Gov. Wood, who at present is stop
ping in New York, refused in 1876 tc
award a certificate of election to Cannon
on the ground that he was not citizen
of the United States.

Montreal Telegraph company's stock to
