JONES AND ALTGELD.
The llinoisan Says jones Was an I'm.
fortunate Selection.

Chicago. Aug. THE Times-Herald
says: There is a fight on between Gov.
Aitge.d and Chairman Jones of The
Democratic national committee. 1t will
be fought out at the New York session
OF the committee which convenes Tues
day, August II. While Gov. Altgeld
will MOI be present, he will be repre-
senteI, and from present indica lions
Chairman Jones will be compelled to
lGcede from certain positions as COM
mander-in-ohief of the democratic
forces.
While the complaint is general all
along the western line. the difficulty has
proceeded to the point of an open rup-
lure LaIween Senator Jones and Gov.
Altgeld. The latser in private CONVEX
sat.on has declared that no more I'M.
fortunate selection could have been
ml2'ie. Gov. Altgeld holds Chairman
Jones personally responsible for the
Sewall-Watson muddle, and is OF the
cpinion that had the Arkansas senator
remained away from St. Louis mat
ters would have adjusted themselves in
mach better shape.
Some sharp correspondence and tele-
grams have passed between Gov. AM
geld and Chairman Jones. When Chair
man Jones left St. Louis at the close OF
the p%opulists convention he announced
his intention of meeting Gov. Alleged in
Springfield, or Chicago, before he wen.
east. He left his Arkansas home one
day last week and a score of western
democratic leaders came to Chicago. for
the purpose of having a conference, pre-
.iminary to the first formal meeting of
iihe national committee. Senator Jones
went from St. Louis direct TO Washing
ton, and in reply to the statement that
Gov. Altgeld had waited two days in
Springfield for the purpose of a meet
ing, said that he had no idea that the
governor was anxious to see him.
The Altgeld people charge a painful
lack of energy on the chairrnan's part,
and claim that he is not acceptable to
he %populists.

column over a native force estimated

TO official figures.
The Matabeles and Their allies were
commanded by the big chiefs. Sokom-
.loeo and Umlugulus, and were divided
into five impis, or regiments, each OF
| 900 men. well supplied with arms and
ammunition.
At 6 O'Clock on Wednesday morning
a force of about 700 men, cavalry. in
flntry and artillery. all under British
officers. marched TO The UmluGulu val
ley. The white infantry, commanded
by Captain Beresford, with two screw
guns and a Maxim rapid firing gun, W.,

hills and then take UP a position from
Which the valley could be shelled. 1t
had previously been reported by the
scouts that the enemy. in strong force,
was encamped in the valley preparing
for a forward movement upon the Brit

British troops we're halted, while Cap

for the artillery to occupy. While this
movement was being executed the
guns, being moved over a small. iso>

sudden determined dash at Captain
B~eresford's command.
There was no strategy or conceal,
the British and in spite Of the heavy
fire which was poured into their ranks,
succeeded in getting within 40 yards OF
the British guns and reached a spot 10
feet from the Maxim guns. A minutes
delay would have proved fatal to the
British detachment, as the white infan.
try was apparently unable to check the
reckless. wild charge of the trFbesmen,
who seemed to court death in their
fierce attack upon the column. But
when the screw guns began crashing

bloody gaps in the ranks, and the dead

moving impis, he natives waved in
their charge and a moment later the
rush was stopped and they began to
give way leaving their dead and
wounded on the field, but rallied by the
chiefs, who bravely rushed to the front,
encouraging their followers by a dis
play of magnificent dash. the native
warriors returned to the charge in the
face of the fierce fire of the British guns
and Captain Beresford's force was for
a few moments completely surrounded
by surging waves of warriors, who
seemed to know no fear.
