LATEST WAR NEWS.

News of another severe British re-
verse reached London Wednesday.
Gen Lord Paul Methuen, command
ing the relief expedition to Kimberley
attempted on Sunday to advance north
OF the Modder river, in Cape Colony,
where the Beers under Gen. p. A.
Cronje had checked him in battle
November % The river is a miles
south Of Kimberley.
Mcthuen' troops moved to Mayors
fontein, six miles north of the Modder,
where they were met by the Beers.
and severe fighting occurred Monday.
This was the main battle. The adj
vance of the British was checked, and
they were compelled to retire, but
they took up another position near by
and held it tenacously until dark
when fighting seems to have been sus-
pended.
On Monday night the British en-
trcnched themselves. Tuesday morn
ing they advanced again, but the Boer
strength was such that Methuen with
drew his troops to the Modder river
camp.
The exact losses in the battle have
not yet been made public, but General
Methuen cables that "Our loss was
great" 1t is known that Maj -Gen.
Andrew G. Wauchope and the Mar
quis of Winchester were killed on the
British side.
Three hundred and twenty Of the
British wounded have arrived at
Orange river. General Mcthuen's TO-
tai loss is estimated in London at less
than $50, and probably more. The
Bocr loss is unknown.
As to the number Of men engaged,
Methuen is said to have had 5000, and
he estimates the Bocr strength at
1000
While the main fight was progress
ing body of Free Staters attacked
General Methuens line Of communica-
ton near Belmont, 35 miles south of
Modder river. The result of this is
not known.
a Pretoria cablegram, dated Mon
Gay, states that Kimberley was quiet
then.
General Butler has begun his main
advance on General Joubert's army at
Colenso, Natal. News of the expected
battle there, in which about 10000
men on each side will probably be en-
gagged, is anxiously awaited Ly the
British public.
Of the three moves in the British
plan of campaign two-thosc of Cat
acre and Methuen-have resulted in
failure. General Buffers advance is
the third.
The Boer loss in the Stormberg fight
on Sunday is reported to have been
four killed and nine wounded. This
may be correct, as no genuine attack
was delivered by General Gatacre's
troops, who were completely surprised
while in column. Gatacre lost fully
700 men.

an INSCRIPTIONS ma GRITTY. 1t isn't the
Roberts case, but the principle at stake
that makes action of the House important.
That MIR. Quay isn't as certain of getting
that seat in the Senate, as his friends
would like everybody to believe is shown
by the presence in Washington, working
in Quay's interest, of ex-senator Don
Cameron. Mr.. Quay will also be in Wash
ington this week. An adverse report is
expected from the Committee on E ectioas.
which is one of the few committees not
included in the republican grab of iucreas-
ing their represent alton, but the real fight
will be on the floor of the Senate. The
chances still seem to favor Quay, although
several of the Senators who had been
counted upon as certain to vote to seat him,
are said to be in doubt as to how they
would vote. 1t is on the personal friend
snip of those Senators that Cameron and
Quay are now working.
Senator Mason's speech in favor of his
resolution of sympathy for the Transvaal
Republic, now engaged in a war for lib
erty with Great Britain, contains some
hard knocks for prominent republicans,
including the President. Mason may not
rank high as statesman, but his tongue
has a sting on the end of it when he wishes
1t to have, quite as nagging, if not so pol
ished as that welded by Ingalls, and other
sting singers who have been in the Senate.
Boss Hanna appears to have emerged
from the wrestle with the rheumatism and
mis- check book, which is credited with
such prominent part in the Ohio cam
paign, as cross as crippled bear. He
was hobbling out of the White House,
where he had been holding conference
with Mr.. Kinley and Mr.. Henry c. Payne,
of Wisconsin, who has been mentioned as
Hanna's successor at the head of the Il"
publican National Committee, when he
was asked if it were true that he intended
to retire from the Craftsmanship of the
Committee. He glared angriy at the
newspaper man who asked the question
before answering, and then snapped out
as he turned away: NO one is authorized
to say what | will do"

NEWLANDS RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON.

Congressman Newlands passed here
yesterday afternoon on his way to
Washington, says the Winnemucca
Silver State of the End. In converse
ton with Silver State reporter he said
that he was feeling well and had no re-
grets TO offer regarding the outcome OF
the Senatorial contest further than
regret that the will OF the people as ex-
pressed at the polls had not been car
ried cut by the Legislature; that he was
willing TO meet his defamers before the
people OF the State at any time and
leave It to the voters 10 decide who was
the traitor in the last campaign. He
was looking In the best of health and
expects to return TO Nevada as soon as
Congress adjourns and continue the
fight against railroad boss rule in this
State until the last vestige ofitis wiped
OUT
To the men who believe that the
railroad boss rule" Is the greatest
menace to the prosperity and liberty Of
the people of Nevada, this is good news.
Every recruit helps to swell the ranks.
But Mr.. Eewlands must not expect to
come back and assume the position Of
Commander or. in Chief, for at the pres
snt time he is in extremely bad odor
among the rank and hle OF the voters
Of Nevada. II he would prove his sim
cerity and his right to ask further po-
litical favors from the people Of Nevada
let him come out and fight, not for
Newlands, but for some strong and
popular anti-railroad man for Congress
two years hence. BY SO doing alone,
can he remove the bad impression that
he has made by his inconsistent con-
duct in the last campaign.
