She Won Her Case.

Boston. March 2.-The full bench Of the
supreme court has sent down a decision
sustaining demurrer filed by Mrs. Mary
N. Walker. in the suit brought by her d.
vorced husband, M. p. Walker. to enforce
an alleged agreement entered into by
Mrs. Walker just previous to the mar
,riage in 1877. At the time of the ma arriage
they were living Din California and Mrs.
Walker, then widow, was possessed OF
property valued at $5o0.000. Mr.. Walker
contended that his wife, before the mar
riage, had agreed to secure him the prop
erty in common and offered many letters
in support of his claim. The court, after
reviewing the letters, says that they show
an intention ON the part of Mrs. Walker
that her husband should enjoy with her
the income which she had, but they do
not show intention to give him the prop
erty in case OF separation or divorce.

Battle AT ColenSo.

colenso Camp. Feb. 2S.-The Beers loss
heavily during yesterdays ngntlns.
Lvddtte wrought fearful havoc IN the
trenches. Many of the wounded were
cutie yellow from the effects OF the
fumes. Over hundred prisoners were
taken. Many of them We're Hollanders
and a few were genuine Beers. Cons1d-
cradle ammunition for rifles fell into the
hands OF the British, as we'll as damaged
Maxim guns. Beers 16 years OF age were
among the wounded. The prisoners nad
not heard of the surrender Of Cronde ana
discredited It, The majority seemed
rlad to be captured. They admit heavy
losses. The women remained with the
Beers in the trenches until three hours
before the British charged. Two women
were found, one dead, the other fatally
wounded. Before she died, the latter
said her husband would not let her 80
as she was such good shot. The woman
was only 10 years old. An idea Of the
intensity Of the shell fire can be gath
cred from the fact that of 95 guns In ac-
tion, the Nineteenth battery alone fired
974 rounds, firing every 10 seconds.
The British casualties were about 200
men.

BOER PRISONERS
SHOW EFFECTS
OF LONG SIFGE,

Paardeberg, Wednesday Feb. 2S,-All
the prisoners were paraded yesterday
afternoon. They extended in a long
trailing line like a serpent across the
plain and as far as possible were arrang-
ed in commanders. The Free Staters
were kept separate from the Transvaal-
ers. The look upon the faces OF the men
as they passed made 1t impossible to ar
rive at any other conclusion than that
they were all overjoyed at their release
from the daily hell Of shell and shot
which they had been experiencing lately.
Many did not even take the trouble to
conceal their delight from the soldiers
guarding them. They chatted freely
with the British, discussing different
battles in which they had fought. All
the prisoners have intense admiration
tor the bravery and pluck of the High
landers and they freely confess that they
are incapable Of the dash and go and
puck of the British.
Some Of the sick prisoners have given
vivid description Of Cronje's night
march. It began in panic and ter.
rible confusion prevailed throughout.
Huge wagons crowded the narrow road.
there was an utter lack or order and de-
sertions were numerous. From them

Students Cause Trouble.

Montreal, Ont, March 2.-The McGiN
students began the celebration of the re-
Lief of Ladysmath by insisting that the
girls OF the Dona1da department be given
a holiday, that the mayor give the civic
officers half holiday and that French
newspapers and others hoist the Union
Jack.
Thestuden'ts Of Laval determined that
the flags be hauled down. The request
was generally complied with but one
British flag was torn UP by the French
students. The McGnl men appeared on
the scene and riot was only avoided by
coolheaded aader1nan.
During the evening 10000 people gath
cred in a blizzard about bondires in DOM

Gen. Cronje Worn Out.

Orange River, March 2.-General
Cronje and his wife passed here last
night en- route to Capetown. Elaborate
precautions had been taken to prevent
the public from seeing him. Even the
officers were ordered off the station and
the refreshment room was kept closed
before his arrival. to the discomfort Of
the Kimberley passengers, who were
Obliged to go foodless. General Cronje
looks affected and miserable, and is
much grayer. He entered the refresh
ment room accompanied by his wife, son
and interpreter, and General Prettyman
and his staff. Taking his seat at a table,
General Cronje covered his face with his
hands for few moments as he engaged
in prayer.

Granite Cutters Strike.

Boston, March 2.-The strike of the
New England granite cutters, begun
yesterday. did not SO thoroughly stop
business as expected. Cutters and man.
ufacturers at many places have met half
way in compromise figures and an agree
ment seems probable with little delay.
The union officials predicted that every
quarry would be tied up, but in several
places, especially in Boston, the local
cutters had agreements with their ern-
p.oyers to adjust the wage schedule on
May /.
Interest yesterday centered in Quincy,
with its $500 union cutters. 1t at once

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS

Washington, Merch "A special mes
sage from the president was received as
to importations from Puerto Rico since
evacuation of the islands by Spain
{Amounting to over $2.000,o00) should be
placed at the disposal Of the president for
the relief OF the islands. The republicans
greeted the reading of the message with
demonstrations of enthus asm.
IT hope the recommendation will meet
with favor on that side of the house. said
Richardson, the minority leader.
"Ill see II it meets with favor on that
side of the house, retorted Cannon
sharply "I'll now ask for unanimous
consent for immediate consideration OF
bill to carry the recommendation OF that
message into force"
The suddenness of the request spread
CONSERVATION on the democratic side.
There was no time for consultation.
'eBetter do it at once" said said Cannon
.before you change your mind"
This shaft raised a laugh. Richardson
said he would not object but wanted to
know how much time would be allowed
for debate.
After some discussion 1t was agreed to
allow twenty minutes debate on each
side. The bill was then read and Cannon
proceeded to explain its features.
Bailey. OF Texas. replied for the demo.
Gratis. At the expiration of the time al.
lowed for debate vote was taken re-
sulting in the passage of the bill by q
