dent that Congress was in session and

Mr.. Dalzell moved that the rules of
the last two Congresses, the Reed rules,
be adopted to govern the House.
Mr.. Bailey objected. The democrats
had several amend ments to offer, he
said.
Mr.. Richardson also expressed or
position to the adoption OF the rules
but 1t occurred to him, he said, that OBJ
lection would probably be futile since
The msjority had decided to readopt the
Reed rules.
Mr.. Bailey made ten minute speech
against the manner in which the COM
mttee on rules that governs procedure
in the House is constituted. Under
the old rules Of the House, he said, the
extraordinary power vested in that
comm ttee was welded by the Speaker.
Mr. Bailey also urged that way should be
provided by which mer'orious b II, unsnl-
mou,ly reported By committee, might be
passed without reqniriIg tae unanimous con-
set of the House.
Mr. Hepburn said there were number OF
the rules that met with his disfavor but he

Cipetown, Nov. 30-Some details
of IN Modder river battle are at last
at hand. The battle was fought with
the river between the armies. The
Beers mad five miles Of entertainments
on the northern bank. For several
hours there was an artillery duel when
there was a lull in the Boer fire and
the British Infantry advanced to the
river bank without cover hoping to
force passage over to the Boer posi-
ton. The British were simply moved
down in this attempt and repeated ef'
forts to cross were frustrated by the
B Der guns. Finally few of the guards
got across and held position on the
north bank despite heavy odds. Some
of the British tried to swim the river
but were forced back and nearly
drowned. The Beers held their po-
siton till darkness ended the fight
when they retired unseen, with their
guns to new position to the north
yard. A larger part of Methuen's
force then crossed the river.
Lorenzo Marquee, Dec 4.-The Beers

rages in large quantities at the johann

The British government is realizing
the task it has on hand in South Africa,
aud the measures it has taken will soon
result in giving Gen. Dir Redvers Butler
an army of LII 500. The whole Boer
army is usually estimated at $4,000
