WAS AN UNDECIDED BATTLE.
But the Beers Withdrew From Nod

London, Dec. 4.-The latesidetails re-
ceived from Modder river show that
even the desperate courage the at

November 2S) failed to drive the
Beers from their strong entertainments
and night fell upon an undecided Dat
tie. But apparently during the course
of the night General Cronje, command
ing the Beers, who are said TO have
numbered II, GOO men, deci1ed that the
struggle was hopeless. for the British
found the town and surrounding po-
sitions evacuated when daylight broke
and the whole British army crossed
the river and encamped on the Boer
position.
The experts here are unanimous in
expressing the opinion that Kinber
ley's needs must be very pressing to
whole of his command to the Boer
marksmen snugly entrenched in semi
circle position. SO deadly was the fire
zone that the Scots guards were COM
PEELED to leave their Maxim guns be-
hind when they were forced 10 seek
less exposed ground. 1t was only af-,
ter dusk that a portion of the British
troops succeeded in crossing the river
by mill dam on the extreme left.
When night fell the Boer artillery was
still as vigorous as in the morning, but
the Beers retirement in the night
saved the situation for the British.
The exhausted condition of the British
troops preciuded the possibility of
pursuit of the enemy.
The conclusion of the CORES pondents
that the Beers must have suffered heav-'
lily must be confirmed from official
sources before 1t is accepted as fact.
In any case. the Beers retired without
any signs of disorder. carrying off their
guns and equipment. Thus, General
Cronje's force is still intact.
The fact that General Methuen and
Colonel Kekewich are now in commune
cation may cause a reconsideration of
the Boer commanders plan 70 give bat

simultaneously attacked by both Brit
ish forces. 1t is reported that Modder
river bridge has been repaired, and
that the British resumed their march
towards Kimberley today.
The fact that the De Beers. mines

Adjourns Out of Respect to Memory
: of Mr.. Hobart

Washington, Dec Inappropriate
tribute TO the memory of the late Vice
President Hobart was paid by the SEN
ate today at its first session of the Fifty
six congress. The session lasted only
thirty-three minutes and only the most
formal and necessary business was
transacted.

tine resolutions and the administration

fee. Senator Sewell of New York pre-
scented fitting resolutions upon the
death of the vice president. The reso-
lutions were ordered to be communi-
Gated TO the house of representatives,
and the session, on motion of Mr..
keane. of New Jersey, was suspended.
The death of Vice President Hobart
cast pail over the preliminary pro-
ceedingS in the senate. AS usual in the
opening days OF congress, the senate
chamber was veritable conservatory
Scracely senator was forgotten in the
lavish floral display. and particularly
notable was the offering of flowers to
the new members of the body. The
desks 10 which they had been assigned
were loaded with the choicest selections
from the public and private conserva-
tories of the city.
Attention was called to the fact that
no emblem of mourning appeared on
the vice presidents desk. This appa-
rent omission was explained by the
statement that the senate had not been
informed of MIR. Hobart's DEATH
Pending the actual convention of the
senate. the chamber presented a most
animated and picturesque scene. The
galleries were filled with & brilliant
and distinguished audience. In the di-
picInatic gallery were several prcmin-
ent members of the diplomatic corps.

British ambassador, and Lady Paunce-
