WOULD TAKE NAVAL GUNS.


London, Dec. 1S.-Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford is quoted in an inter-
view to-day as saying: THE issue of
the war will depend more upon artillery
than anything else, especially at the
siege of Pretoria and other places where
the biggest battles are expected. There
fore l urge that all the naval guns
which can be spared from the reserves
and other ships be mounted on artillery
trails and limbers for field service i'm
mediately. This move is necessary, as
there are no quick firing twelve-podnd
ers, of twelyehundred weight, in the
army. The government should immedi-
ately commission every ship in "A divi-
sion of the navy as needful precau
tion against any nation seeking to take
advantage of Great Britains condition.
No friendly nation could object. 1t
would only be running water through
hose pipes so as to prepare for fire. I
am greatly pleased to see General Rob
erts and General kitchener go to the aid
of General Buller''

BATTLE OF TUGELA RIVER.
Brief Description-Gsnera Glory Wns
In Com mand


London, Dec. ia correspondent of
the Daily Mail telegraphing from
Frere camp, Natal, December Is, and
describing the Tugela river battle says:
THE Beers in great force occupied a
strong entrenched position commanding
the river and reaching back about 500
yards from it's further side. General
Hart's brigade, on the left, first at
tempted a crossing under murderous
Nordenfeldt and rifle fire. The Royal
Dublin Fusiliers, the Royal Inniskilling
Fusiliers. the Kings Own Scottish Bor-
derers and the Connaught Rangers
crossed with superb and unfiinching
gallantry, but the position on the other
side was found utterly untenable
'"The British suffered heavily from a
perfect hail of artillery and shrapnel,
while their own artillery was very
badly mauled They were therefore
obliged to recross the river. On the
right General Hildyard's brigade, dis
playing equal heroism, succeeded in en-
tering the village of Colenso, but the
Sixth battery encountered murderous
fire and was compelled to retire leav
ing guns and ammunition wagons on
the veldt. This brigade also was oblig
ed to fall back. Meanwhile General
Barton's brigade also failed to take
possession of Hlangkrit Hill, as was in
tended, and the entire force retired on
Chieveley. General Clery was in COM
mand." M

M'GOTERN's quick WORK.
whips One Man in Two Rounds and
AnOihrr In One.

Cincinnati, Dec. 1S.-Terry McGovern
added two more victims to his long list
here tonight in the arena of the Peo-
pies A. c.. His task was very easy, his
opponents being badly frightened when
they faced him. His first bout was to
have been ten rounds with Charles Ma
son of Chicago. McGovern sent his left
to Mason's face repeatedly in the first
round, driving him about the ring. He
did not use his right at all, and at the
end of the round Mason was bleeding
from mouth and nose and went to his
corner groggy. In the second round
McGovern put his right to Mason's jaw,
which sent the latter down. After TAX
ing the count he arose, only to go down
and out by right ana left ON the Jaw.
McGovern's second opponent was
"Freckles'' O'Brien of New Orleans,
who weighed about 130 pounds. After
feinting for the first two minutes they
went to a clinch and on the breakaway
McGovern hooked his left to the Jaw
which put O'Brien down and out.

ENGLAND EOUAL no SITUATION.
Cham berlain Says She Has Mot Greater
Dtsnsters nd Over ercOme Them

Dublin, Dec 18.-At Trinity college
this afternoon the honorary degree of
doctor of laws was conferred on Joseph
Chamberlain, the British secretary of
state for the colonies. There was a
brilliant assemblage at the ceremony.
The undergraduates gathered on the
college grounds and sang patriotic
songs Then they sailed to College
Green, cheering vociferously and carry
ing the Royal standard and the Union
Jack The latter was captured by the
police. The students made a demon
stration at the Mansion house, where
they tore the green corporation flag to
shreds and caused other damage. The
students made desperate efforts to re-
capture the Union Jack when 1t was
taken from them by the police, but the
police were too strong for them. In
the mean time hostile crowd had as
sembled on College Green and more
stringent measures were taken to keep
the students within bounds.
Mr. Chamberlain and his wife and
Lady Betty Balfour, when driving to
the college, were cheered at some points.
But there was a noticeable difference
Of opinion among the crowds lining the
streets. While the procession was pass
ing from the Provost's residence to the
examination hall the cheering was deaf
ening. The students lined the passage
and held aloft the Union Jack under
which the procession passed. Mr..
Chamberlain appeared to thoroughly
enjoy the demonstration. AS the pro-
eession entered the hall all the people
rose and cheered Mr. Chamberlain.
At the close of the ceremony Mr..
Chamberlain in response amid the cries
of the students said they had met un-
der very disappointing circumstances.
IT the arrangements had been recent,
he added, he would not have chosen the
present occasion to receive the honor
from the university Their minds, Mr..
Chamberlain continued. were solemniz
cd bv the serious affairs in South Afri-
ca. England had always been accus-
toned to hold her own in adversely.
He was old enough to remember the
Crimea and the earlier period of the
Indian mutiny, when England met with
Greater disasters than she had just ex-
nerienced, but, eventually, the nation
snrang to it's feet and recovered it's
and no doubt, it would do
So akain. In conclusion Mr.. Chamber |
lain exhorted the students now that |
he was one of their doctors, to practice
the virtues of liberation and patience. |
Tf1e students who attacked the Mansion |
house numbered about $50. They beat |
the caretaker, who attempted to pro- |
tect the corporation flag.

THE PHILIPPTNE QUESTION
To be Thoroughly Discussed In Senate
Revolutions Introduced.

Washington, Dec. fS.-What the SEN
ate may accomplish in the way of leg
islation for the Philippines during the
present session is problematical, but
that the question will be thoroughly
discussed is indicated by the number
of resolutions bearing upon it being in
troduced. In opposition to the retention
by the United States of the Philippine
Islands two resolutions were introduced
to-day, one by Mr.. Tillman of South
Carolina and the other by Mr.. Bacon of
Georgia. While they differ in phraesol-
ogy, their intent practically Is the same
to yield the islands to government
to be established by the Filipinos them
selves. Both senators gave notice of
their intention to address the senate on
their respectful resolutions. Mr.. Nor
gan of Alabama addressed the senate
briefly upon the necessity of legislation
to control trusts, his argument being
directed particularly to the committee
on judiciary to which his joint resolu-
tion, upon which he based his remarks,
was referred.

unable to shake the position of the ex-

contention that Molineux wrote the ad-
dress on the poison package. MolineuXs s
wife and mother were both present in
court to-day. This is the second time
they have appeared in the court room
since the trial began. Molineux en-
