THE BoER WAR.
The Forces of the Transvaal and Free
State are Vigorously Aggressive.

The Beers seem to have made full
before making war, and
they have attacked the British forces
at several points, but have not yet
achieved any decided advantage.
They have attacked the fortified po-
sition at Mafeking on the west, and
have besieged Kimberly on the south
west, but have met with heavy loss, and
have scored no victory.
At latest advices 10, 900 of their forces
had given battle to 900 British cav
airy near Ladysmith on the south, and
re-enforcements were hurrying forward
to the British forces. This force OF
10, 900 were from the Free State, which
has taken the side Of the Transvaal
State.
There are no evidences thus far Of
even temporary success on the part o.
the Beers. The English are waiting
for re-enforcements, the meanwhile
holding their positions.

The Hanna Mckinley men are al.
ready beginn ng TO see that the retire
ment Of Car Reed doesn't call for as
much rejoicing on their part as they
thought it did when it was first made
public. 1t will remove powerful
enemy from the pathway Of the ad-
miuistraton but there is danger that
the scramble for the speakership
which has already started, may create
number OF smaller enemies who may
be able to do more damage to admin
tration plans and politics than one big
enemy like Mr.. Reed. Boss Hanna is
not in doubt OF his SUCCESS in nam
ing the next speaker, but Le Is grow
ing very much afraid OF the sore spots
that will be left among the disap-
pointed when his choice becomes
known. A prominent Republican sem
ator discussing this matter with a
friend, said: Il shall miss my guess
