GENERAL M'NULrA DEAD
The Great American Receiver" Dies
 Suddenly in Washington

Washington, February 22-General John McNu.ta, weM-known throughout the west because of his identification with the re- ce.versnip of railroads and other great corporations died suddenly here shortly after o'clock tonight in his apartments at the Hamilton house of angina pectoris, aged about 60 years. He had been appar- ently in the best of health during the day ard had. returned to the hotel only short time before he was stricken. Medical aid was hastily summoned but it was evident to the physicians that tlis case was a hope jess one and he died within an hour after the attack.
 The deceased leaves a wife and two chill dr en in Chicago, son in Montana and another son who is lieutenant in the regular army in the Philippines. Because of the great success ne had attained in managing the affairs of the various organ izationss to which he was appointed, Gen. erai MeNuIta became popularly known as the ''great American receiver" He was at variens times receiver of the Wabash raiIroad the Clover Leaf road, and for the whisky trust, and at the time of his death was acting in similar capacity for tho National Ban of Illinois, which failed several years ago. He had been in this city in connection with that duty since 1898, He was a close friend of General Grant, and saw active service in the civil var In which he was severely wounded.

CURRENCY BILL
 WAS COMPLETED
Republican Conferees Practically
 Agreed on All Points.
GOLD STANDARD IS FIXED
Question of International Bimetallism Will be Satisfactorily Adjusted This Morning Task Less Diff
 ficult Than Expected

Washington, February 22-When the re- publican conferees of the two houses of congress on the currency bill adjourned to- night their work had been practically com peteds There was still some uncertainty as to whether the senate amendment in the interest of international bimetallism would be retained but one of the members ex- pressed the opinion that five minutes would be sufficient time tomorrow to complete the work. They expect to call in the democratic members tomorrow and to be able to pre- sent their report to the senate during the day. l
 The language by which the gold standard is established proved less difficult than was at firts anticipated. While the provisions in the house and senate bills were the same in principle, they differed entirely in wording and after some consideration the senate provision commended itself to the conferees of both houses. This provision doubtless will be a part of the final agreement and is as follows:
 "That the dollar consisting of p 8-10 grains of gold, nine-tenths fine, shall, as established by section 3511 of the revised statutes of the United States, continue to Dc the standard unit of value, and all forms of money issued or coined by the United States shaN be maintained at parity of value with thds standard; and the United States notes and treasury notes issued under the acS of July II, 1S9o, when presented to the treasury for redemption shall be redeemed In gold coin of such standard."
 The difference as to the maintenance of a gold reserve was also satisfactorily ad- justed. The senate provision calls for a reserve of $50, 100000. while the house pro- vision did fix a definite sum- but made tsie reserve 25 per cent. of outstanding notes. On this question the senate pro- vision met with most favor because of its defniteness.
 The important question of the refunding provision of the senate bill proved diffi- cult to settle, and to the close of the con- ference tonight no actual agreement had been made, although a compromise was in sieglt.

WAS REFUSED AN ARM|ST|CE Requested Time in Which to
 Bury His Dead.
 KITCHENER WOULD NOT CONSENT
The Boer General Then Replied That He Was Misunderstood and the Battle Went On-All Forces
 Are Concentrating

London, February 23.-4 a. m.)-General Cronje is seemingly making his last stand. He is dying hard, hemmed in by British infantry and with shells from sixty guns falling into his camp.
 On the third day of the fight the Boer chief asked for an armistice to bury his dead Flight to finish or surrender un- conditionally," was Lord Kitchener's reply. General Cronje immediately sent back word that his request for truce had been misun- derstood and that determination was then as before the battle went on. This was the situation of General Cronje Tuesday even ing as sketched in the scanty telegrams that emerged from the semi-silence of South Africa.
 Officially Lord Roberts wires that he scattered the advance commandos of the regiments that were striving to reach Gen. eral Cronje It Is regarded as singular that Lord Roberts wiring Wednesday should not mention the appeal for an armistice on the previous day and also that the war office should withhold good news, if it has any.
 Without trying to reconcile even the scanty materials at hand, 1t seems plain that General Cronje is in a bad and even a desperate situation, and that the British are pressing their advantage.
 While the attack on General Cronje pro- ceeds, there Is race for concentration be- tween the Boers and British
 The engagement with Cronje's five to eight thousand entrenched men is likely to become an incident fn battle between the masses. The separated fractions of the Boer power are rapidly drawing together to attack Lord Roberts.
 Will Cronje be able ito hold out until the Boer masses appear, or if he does, will they then be able to succor him? The British are facing the Boers on ground where the arms, tactics, and training of the British are expected to give them the advantage.
 General Butler according ito dispatch from ,Chievley, dated Wednesday, finds the Boers in positions north of the Tugela largely reinforced. This seems strange.
 The war office for the first time has given out an official compilation of the British losses. The total is 11,20S to Febru- ary IT, This does not include, therefore, Lord Roberts losses nor the Wiltshire prisoners The Press association learns that the British losses at Koodoosrand were zoo.
 Three thousand fresh troops will embark for South Africa to-day. The relative po- sition of the combatants is lkened to chess players, one of whom from time to time adds pieces to the board, while any loss to the adversary is irreplacable.

THE TERRIBLE BATTLE
 ATPAARDEBERG DRIFT

Paardeberg Drift, Orange Free State, Tuesday, February 20.-via Modder River, "Wednesday February 21.-One of the cost Hest actions of the war occurred at Paar- deberg Drift Sunday, February 1s.-General Kelly-Kenny in his pursuit of General Cronje caught his rear guard at Kip Drift and followed the burghers to the Boers Laager at Koodoos' Rand.
 The drift action began at daybreak, the mounted infantry driving the Boer rear guard up the river towards the main body, while another body. of mounted infantry manoeuvered on the right and front and flank of the Boers.
 The British main body advanced to out flank the Boers laager on the north bank of the river. General Kelly-Kenny having seized two drifts found the Boers strongly enclosed and ordered an attack with the Highland brigade on the left and General Knox's brigade on the center and right, while General Smith, Dorrien's brigade crossed the river and advanced along the north bank.
 On both the north and south banks the ground is level and the advance across this was deadly and the British losses wers heavy.
 The battle was an exact repetition of the Modder river battle with the soldiers under fire all day long and the fighting had no definite results as the Boers laager was well barricaded and they remained therein. The British guns shelled the laager vigorously and the Boers confessed to a loss of over 300 men.
 The terrific smelling was resumed Monday. when General Cronje asked for an armis- tice. The smelling was continued Tuesday. over fifty guns pouring lead into the Boers' camp.

THE VOTE WAS NINE ID TWO
One of the Contestees Stated in Ad- vance of Meeting That He Would Run in August Regardless of
 the Committees Action.

Columbus Ga., February 22.-(Special.)- By a vote of nine to two, the democratic executive committee of Russell county this afternoon decided to throw out Gfrard box and to hold a new primary for that beat on April 14, the date for electing delegates to the state convention.
 Chairman Burt submitted the resolution, a substance of which follows: That after a careful investigation of the charges of the contestants it was the opinion of the com mfttee that illegality was practiced in Gi- rard, which box is thrown out and a new primary ordered in such beat for the offices contested. And also for office of tax coll lector, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Long. The charges of illegal ity were clearly established, and friends of the contestees on the committee voted to throw out the box.
 Delacy, Pitts, Tune and Burt And the mays. DeGrafenried and Henry. both of whom held proxies and were not regular  members of the committee
 It Is believed that the action of the com mittee will give the vote of Russell county to Senator Morgan by at least two hum dred majority, provided the use of money and illegal voting are prohibited when the second primary is held.
 The contestees have not yet announced whether they will abide the action of the committee or not.
 One of the candidates stated in advance of the meeting that he would run as the nominee of the party in August regardless of the action of the committee. The unim- peachable character of the members of the committee insures that their action will be endorsed by mojority of the democrats of the county.
 Those who heard the evidence say there was no other course open to the committee, the charges of the contestants being sus- tained by the highest evidence.
 The contestees virtually admitted the H. legality of many votes by seeking to show that some of them were cast for both sides.
