LONDON, December 16.-The fol-
lowing is the text of Gen. Buffers dis
patch announcing his reverse:
Butler to Lansdowne:
"CHIEVLY CAMP, December Is.
$40 p. MI regret to report a serious
reverse. 1 moved in full strength from
our camp heal Chievly at 4 o'clock this
morning. There are two forbade
places in the Tugela river and it was
my intention to force a passage
through at one of them. They are
about two miles apart.
my intention was to force one or the
other with n brigade, supported by a
central brigade. Gen. Hart was to
attack the left drift, Gen. Hildyard the
right road and Gen. Lyttleton was to
take the center and to support either.
Early in the day l saw that Gen. Hart
would not be able to force a passage
and | directed him to withdraw. He
had, however, attacked with great gall
lantry and his leading battalion, the
Connaught Rangers, 1 fear, suffered a
great deal. Col. L. G.. Brooke was
seriously wounded.
81 then ordered Gen. Hildyard to adj
vance, which he did and his leading
regiment, the East Surrey, occupied
Colelso station and the houses near
the bridge. At that moment l heard
that the whole artillery l had sent to
support the attack-the Fourteenth and
Sixty-sixth field batteries and six naval
1%2-pounder quick-firers, under Col.
Long, had advanced close to the river
In Longs desire to be within effective
range. 1t proved to be full of the
enemy, who suddenly opened a CALLING
fire at close range, killing all their
horses and the gunners were compelled
to stand to their guns. Some of the
wagon teams got shelter for troops in
a donga and desperate efforts were be-
ing made to bring out the field guns.
"The fire, however, was too severe.
and only two were saved by Captain
Schofield and some drivers whose
names l will furnish.
Another most gallant attempt with
three teams was made by an officer
whose name I will obtain. OF the IS
horses, 13 were killed, and as several
drivers were wounded, l would not al
low another attempt, as it seemed that
they would be a shell mark, sacrifice
ing life to a gallant attempt to force
the passage. Unsupported by artil-
lery, 1 directed the troops to withdraw,
which they did in good order.
Throughout the day a considerable
force of the enemy was pressing on my
right flank, but was kept back by
mounted men under Lord Dundonald
and part of Gen. Bartin's brigade. The
day was intensely hot and most trying
ON the troops, whose conduct was ex-
cellent. We have abandoned ten guns
and lost by shell fire one. The losses
in Gen. Hunts brigade are, l fear.
heavy, although the proportion of Sc
verely wounded is, l hope, not large.
The Fourteenth and Sixty-ninth field
batteries also suffered severe losses.
We have retired to our camp at Chiev-

FROM THE KLONDIKE.
Work Scarce in Dawson and People
 Having Hard Time.

Joe W. Riddle of this city, who in the latter part of January arrived from Klon- dyke, after years stay in that country, has just received a letter from his brother, who Is still in Dawson, which is the first news MT. Riddle has received since he left the Yukon. Jim. Riddle wrote that he and John Neal were in excellent health but they complained that there was a terrible scarcity of work in Dawson during the winter months. and that nearly everybody was having a hard time. The bar rooms and gambling halls were all quiet, and there was but little news happening. Everybody was waiting for the spring sea- son to open.
 By the same mail MT. Riddle also receiv ed an official letter from John J. McGee, the clerk of the privy council of the Cana had been sent to MT Riddle at Dawson and forwarded him from there. MT. Riddle is the secretary of the Miners association of the Yukon, and in his official capacity he has been carrying on correspondence with the Canadian government urging that the dominion parliament allow the Yukon territory to have a representative In their body The miners of Klondyke heartily indorsed the movement, and Mr. Riddle so notified the powers at Ottawa. MT. McGee said that Sir Wlifred Laurier, the prime minister and president of the council, had received MT. Biddles letter, and that it would have due consideration before the Canadian parliament. tN

CONVENTION
 WAS THE TOPIC Discussed by Republican Execu-
 tive Committee. NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN It is Said That They are Awaiting Fur ther Action by the Democrats Adjourned to Meet Again
 on April l.
NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN

In response to the call of its chairman, ecutive committee met yesterday in the grand jury room in the federal building, and after short session adjourned to meet again in this city on April l.
 The meeting was called to order by Chair man Vaughan, with every member except one present, and although nothing was given out for publication, it is understood that the meeting was called to discuss the constitutional convention question and the position that will be taken by the re- publicans in connection with it. Just what passed in the meeting could not be learned, but it was stated authoritatively that the question was thoroughly discussed, but no definite action taken. A resolution to ad- journ until April 1 prevailed. Some eof the committee were in favor of holding the adjourned meeting in Montgomery, but 1t was finally decided to hold the meeting in Birmingham.
 A prominent member of the committee was seen after the meeting by an Age Herald reporter, but refused to discuss the proceedings further than to say that 1t was one of the best and most harmonious meetings of the committee lever held and that the only action taken was to adjourn over until April l.
 Colonel William Youngbood, third aud itor of the treasury and the Alabama mem- Der of the national republican executive committee, was present at the meeting. Colonel Youngbloods presence is said to ba though the city en route home from Mont gomery, where he was called on private business.
 It is thought that the purpose of the de- lay was to await more definitely the &C., ton of the democrats and the issues that in the meantime may be developed.

THE POSITION OF WARRANT CLERK
In the Auditors Office Will Probably be Discontinued in the Future-Wal- lace Resolution Being Called
 to Attention of Teachers.

Montgomery March 4.-(Speclal )-Auditor White returned to the capitol today from a trip to his home in Colbert county. There was much interest manifested in the audi tors return, as it is the first opportunity to get statement of the rather tangled af- fairs of his office, caused by the resigna- tion of two of the most important clerks. e
 There were Land Clerk San J. Carpen- ter and Warrant Clerk E. Cody Thomas. The auditor was absent on the first, the day the resignations were effective, and there has been much speculation as to what he would do upon his return.
 When The Age-Herald representative called on the auditor this morning, he stated he was aware of the resignations and that the position of land clerk had been filled by the appointment of E. H. Lawrence, of Colbert As to the warrant clerk, the auditor stated that no selection had been made for the position and it is probable that none will be made. Clerk Thomas will remain at his desk for several days to straighten out his work, and this completed, the auditor thinks he can man age the affairs of the office without warrant clerk.
 Auditor White found a large package of letters on his desk this morning-applica- tions for one of the two positions, but these are all useless. The matter is settled now. It is stated by the auditor that there was never any foundation for the rumor that Editor Lawrence Lee, of the Clayton Rec ord, would be made warrant clerk. The new land clerk has entered upon the dis charge of his duties. MT. Lawrence is well qualified for the position. He has been engaged in the real estate business for number of years in Sheffield, and has represented several northern capitalists in the purchase of timber lands In the state. Two years ago he was appointed com missioner for Colbert county and in his assessment of about $600,000 of escapes, there was not error or kick from the parties assessed. He is very popular in Sheffield, both socially and politically.
 White May be a Candidate
 The visit of Auditor White to his home i just at this time has set the politicians about the capital to talking. It is generally believed that General Wheeler will resign his seatsin congress to enter the army, and in such event there will be very live ly race for his seat from the Eighth dis trict. It is a well-known fact that the ditor has congressional aspirations. He has admitted this to his close friends. Repre- sentative Wilson Brown, of Colbert, made the announcement before he left the capi- tai last week that he would make the race, and openly asserted that he had assurances that he would carry Lauderdale county over its home candidate, Paul Hodges; Lawrence and Colbert counties, and secure second choice from Morgan and Limestone. The thing was all fixed" But upon the auditors return came the story from Flor ence that Brown has withdrawn from the n lie cfn iG m Ui nllIR here by Browns friends; but if it is true,
