introduced resolution in the house
asking for an investigation of his case,

quarters Established on Hu ssnr Hill
London, Feb. 19.-The correspondent
Of The Times at Modder River, wiring
yesterday. says: General Cronje's
is in full retreat toward Bloemfontein,
hotly pursued by General Kelly-Kenny.
1t will probably be rear guard fight
all the way TO Dloemfontein. Our cav
airy has already returned from Kim
berley to join in the pursuit.
1t is now amply confirmed that Cen
eral Cronje escaped. Every detail re-
ceived, however, proves how admirably
Lord Roberts plans were conceived
and were succeeding. But for the un-
expected delay at Dekiels Drift, which
was almost impossible for wagons, the
whole Boer force would have been sur
rounded. The delay Of one day there
gave them their chance for a hasty
retreat. Apparently General Cronje is
retreating with the main army, and
even II he escapes altogether he will
probably lose all his baggage.
There is still something doubtful
about the capture of the British con-
voy. According to Daily Mail cor
respondent with the convoy-which
consisted of 200 wagons, each loaded
with 5000 pounds Of rations and or
forage, and each drawn by IL oxen--it
was quite unexpectedly attacked by a
commando supposed to come from
C0lesburg.
The Daily News publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch, dated yesterday morn
ing, from Modder River:
Our sudden appearance seems to
have astounded the enemy and thrown
them into panic. All their positions
were hurriedly evacuated and the big
guns at Magersfontein and Kimberley
were left behind.
General Cronje moved his trans
port, consisting Of many hundred
wagons, along the bank of kopjes
north of the Modder, toward koffy-
fontein. 1t got past our mounted in
fantry, but owing to WEAKNESS had to
stop. Thereupon our artillery opened
upon 1t. The main body of the Boer
force kept up running fight the whole
day, vainly trying to escape.
Each time their advance guard
sought to move off, our mounted in
fantry galloped round and checked

THE MARCH OF SURGERY,
: Octoxenspisn Ca1mly Watched Il
Removal of Her Le~

= Octo8en3uom CoImly watched the
e -. Removal of Her Leg.
Chicago. Feb. 1s.-Mrs. Mary Arndt,
In spite of the SO years, watched q
surgeon at the county hospital yester-
day amputate her right leg near the
hip without giving any evidence Of
pain. The operation proved successful.
The method by which the operation
was performed was of great interest to
surgeons, and 1t is said in professional
circles a great step in that line of
surgery in America. DR.. Samuel L.
Weber, a member of the advisory staff
of the hospital, had charge of the
operation, which is said to be the first
of its nature performed in America
and the second known to medical men,
the first having been performed in
Europe. DR.. Weber made study of
the initial operation and concluded
that the method might be employed
for the amputation of lower limbs of
patients who were unable to withstand
the effects Of anesthetics. The method
consists of deadening of the nerves in
the limbs by the injection of cocaine
In the vertebral cavity above the point
where the nerves controlling the lower
limbs branch from the spinal cord.
The limb was removed two inches be-
low the hip, and after the effect of the
drug had passed away the woman said
she felt well. The prospects for her
recovery are good.

Said to Have Made an Offer to Act ia
Spy For England. -.
Paris, Feb. 10. The sensational
newspapers Of Paris publish a story
with regard to sub-chief of one of the
bureaus of the ministry of marine nam
ed Philip, who is said to have been dis
covered In an offer to furnish Great
Britain information relating to the
freighting of vessels for the Transvaal
In French ports. 1t is alleged that in
the letter containing his proposal he
asked $4,000 francs In return for the
Information. 1t is also alleged that the
letter was seized on the strength of in
formation given through DR.. Leyds,
whereupon M. Phillip absconded.
The Nationalist journals insinuate
that he received timely warming from
the French government and was thus
enabled to escape to England.
DR.. Leyds. however, denies the part
attributed to him in the affair. and the
British embassy has issued formal
reputation of any relations direct or
indirect with Philip.
According to the Journal Des De-
bats Philip has gone to the United
States, where he formerly lived and
where. 1t is said. he became a bank
rupt az the result of his unfortunate
management OF his business as a pic
ture dealer
The method by which he was trap
ped recalls the Dreyfus affair. He re-
ccived letter inviting him to meet

Of Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty de

according to the story, he indiscreetly
revealed his designs to the yelled lady,

large basket factory had to close down
Soon after o'clock in the morning
about 30 young women employed in the
factory became enthused with religious
fervor and began to sing, pray and
shout. The men at work in another
department were attracted to the scene.
The proprietor Of the factory, who is
a prominent Methodist, told them to
shout and rejoice and he would pay
them as much for this as for working.
So many persons visited the factory
that the work was brought completely
to standstill. A number OF CONVEX
Sions were made.

VIII Occnpy the Attention at Ma.
tiOnRl Legislators This Week.
| Washington, Feb. 19.-The house to-
day entered upon the consideration Of
the Porto Rican tariff bill, and the
debate upon, it promises to be memoir
able in the history of this congress.
The vital question at issue in the bill
is whether that clause of the consti-
tuition providing for equality OF impOst
and excise taxes throughout United
States territory extends over the ISL
and of Porto Rico, and in this is in
volyed, perhaps. the determination OF
the future status and government Of
our new possessions. The Republi-
cans in framing the bill have proceed
ed upon the theory that the constitu-
ton and its immunities do not extend
over Porto Rico The Democrats are
solidly arrayed upon the other side,
and in committee they were joined by
one Republican, Mr. Mccall, of Massa-
chusetts. Among the other Republi-
cans who take the same view is Mr..
littlefield, of Maine, who succeeded
the late Mr.. Dingley. The support of
these two prominent Republicans has
raised some hopes in the opposition
that they may be able to defeat the
bill, although this hardly seems prob
able.
The attention of the senate this week
will be given largely to the relations
of the United States to its insular pos
sessions. The bill providing a form
of government for the Hawaiian ISL
ands has right of way, and il it should
be so fortunate as to be finally acted
upon before the close of the week, the
Porto Rican bill will be Immediately
taken up. The probabilities are tbst
the Hawaiian bill will be debated at
considerable length and that many
amendments will be offered to it.

hoisted upon one of them by the clos

Yonkers they were seen at intervals
by persons on shore who made futile
attempts at rescue. The Hudson was
SO full of ice that nothing short Of

have reached them. Finally they were
rescued by the ferryboat George Wash

A Jacobsdal dispatch says: Lord
Roberts combinations for the move
ment of the corps dovetailed with pre-
cision, although obstacles that had not
| been foreseen had to be overcome.
The execution of his design began at
a. IN. Sunday. General French rode
into Kimberley Thursday afternoon,
Just when he was due, according to
the field marshaPs time table, having
in four and a half days marched 30
miles with artillery, and having fought
two small engagements.
The relief of Kimberley was accom-
plished with the loss of only so men,
Twenty thousand infantry made splen-
did marches under sHb-tropical sun
and through dust storm to hold tho
positions which General French took.
Everybody did what was expected
or him cheerfully, though enduring
frightful fatigues. Few silent more
than three hours. The battalions, hour
after hour, toiled through the heavy
sand uncomplainingly and when now
and then man fell out of the ranks
exhausted he would rejoin his company
later after he had rested Some so or
Gg were overcome by the heat and had
TO be sent to the rear in the back
ward defile of empty wagons.
The rapidity of Lord Roberts move
ment away from his base has solved
one OF the problems, perhaps the chief
problem of the war. He and Lord
kitchener have created mobile force,
able to move in exterior lines and to
outflank the Beers, themselves SO won
derfully mobile.
From Chleveley comes dispatch
saying that General Butler has estab-
lished his headquarters on Hussar Hill.
Heavy artillery firing was maintained
ut intervals by both sides from We'd

Toledo, Feb. 19.-Throush the arrest
of George e. Smith at Bowling Green
last Saturday night the federal author
tiles here hope to find some clew to the
identity of counterfeiters who have
been flooding Toledo and neighboring
towns with counterfeit silver dollars
of the dates of 1897 and 1881. The
counterfeits are four pennyweights
under standard weight, but have the
true ring, and some have passed To-
ledo banks. Smith, when arrested, had
81 of the 1879 dollars in his pockets,
20 of them being in a package.
