THE ADJOURNING OF CONGRESS.
Amusing Incidents Described by the "Wash.
iugton Post"

Congress adjourned after moment
GUS and busy session. The House
after stormy session adjourned after
singing national and popular air in
the best of spirit. The Washington
Post thus describes an incident or
two:
The final night session of Congress
was marked by the usual episodes. In
the Senate, especially, many funny
scenes happened. Senator WolcOtt,
having no favors to ask for himself,
undertook to stand upon the watch
tower as the guardian of legislation,
and soon established a record as an OBJ
jectOr which rivaled that of the late
Mr.. Holman. Mr.. WolcOtt was good
humored enough, and if appealed to
with sufficient persistency rarely failed
to withdraw his objection. The con-
sequence was that every Senator with
bill to pass saw Wolcott.
Senator Butler had bill appropriate
ing $4,000 to build a monument on the
MOore's Greek battlefield, n. c.. which
was an especial object of Senator VOL
cott's fun.
''Can the Senator tell me the date of
the battle?" he asked Mr.. Butler.
cit was the first battle of the Revo-
lution-twenty-n days before the
battle of Lexington, was the reply.
''But can the Senator tell me the
day and the year?" persisted Mr.. VOL
colt.
Mr.. Butler was stumped. II can
tell the Senator tomorrow, he finally
remarked.
"Then," replied Mr.. Wolcott, "I
will let my objection stand until to-
morrow, also"
A few minutes latter Senator VOL
colt relented, and Mr.. Butler made
another effort to get the appropriation
agreed to. This time it was Senator
Lodge who objected
ooh, don't object, LODGE" said
Wolcott, in a stage whisper, "he'll put
the date of the battle forward year II
you are jealous on account OF Lexlng-
tOn."
But Mr.. Lodge continued to object,
and the monument bill remains on the
calendar
When Senator Kenney of Delaware
endeavored to secure unanimous con
sent to pass bill apprOpriating $4,000
to repay officers and men of Penn
sylvania regiment for baggage that wa'
lost, Mr.. Wolcott inquired:
''Is this $4,000 all for personal lug
gage?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Kenney.
''Wss it lost while going to the seen
CT the fatal conflict or on its return?
asked Mr.. WOlcOtt.
Mr.. Kenney did not know.
''Then," remarked Mr.. Wolcott
''until that important information /
secured, 1 must object" and anothe
bill went to sleep.

ANXIETY AT HIGH TENSION.
British Public Eagerly Await News From
the Front.

British Public Eagerly Await News From
the Front.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-General Butler has
divulged nothing Of his movements on
Monday and the public presume he is
resting on the ground won after two
days Of hard fighting.
Military men assume that fighting
must have taken place Monday, and it
probably was more severe than on the
two preceding days. General Butler
would not be likely to give the Beers
leisure to add to the elaborate entrench-
ments, to arrange their artillery and to
concentrates their forces. 'y"'ts33..or
The special correspondents Sunday
night were allowed to send the an
nouncement that the battle would be al
most certainly renewed the following
day and hence official and popular anx-
iety is at high tension. The British
military experts all share the hopes Of
their leaders and, as Spencer Wilkinson
points out, they hesitate to say word
that might be interpreted as unfavor-
able.
Other British Forces Inactive.
The British in other districts Of South
Africa continue inactive. General
Methuen's 1900 men remain behind
earthworks. General French's 1000
men at Rensberg were aroused on Sun
day by general alarm that the Beers
were attacking, but it turns out there is
no basis for this. General Gatacre is
quiet at Colesberg.
At Ladysmith the deaths from enterio
fever and other diseases average 10 a
day. The fear is entertained that the
garrison may be SO worn with privations
and disease as not to be able to do much
in the way of helping General Butler.
Reinforcements aggregating 5000 or
more have reached Cape Town during
the last three days. It is uncertain how
these have been disposed Of, but prob
ably most of them have been sent to
Natal, where it is believed General
Butler needs them.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1900-01-27
is very severe occasionally.


LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Daily Chroni.
Gle publishes the following, dated Jan.
%, from Spearmans Camp:
"The Beers admit "a casualties during
General Lyttleton's skirmish on Satur-
day. General Warren continues ad-
vancing though he is necessarily max
ing very slow progress, as the Beers are
numerous and strongly entrenched.
Our forces are working on parallel
ridges, with Lord Dundonald's flying
column on the left flank awaiting devel-
opments. The Beers are contesting
every inch of ground. This morning
General Warren's artillery opened fire,
but received no reply. The naval guns
in front are doing good work. The
Beers insist that it will take three
months for us to reach Ladysmith."
DURHAM, Natal, Jan. 23.-The state
ment comes from all excellent source in
Pietermaritzbrrg that Lord Dundonald
has entered Ladysmith with 1000 men.
This is not confirmed from any other
quarter, but it is known that Lord Dun
donald's flying column has been acting
well to the left Of the line of advance.

AGAIN OFFICIALLY DENIED.
INT Secretary Davis Not in Africa OH
Diplomatic Mission.

a Diplomatic Mission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Both the state
and the interior department. authorize
the most sweeping denial of the story
that Webster Davis, assistant secretary
Of the interior, is clothed with any dip
lomatic mission. It is declared that he
represents no department. of the United
States government in his visit to South
Africa, but is there in personal capac-
ity. Since his arrival at Cape Town,
where he won't to visit his cousin, Con-
sui General Stowe, the state department.
has been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed upon
his visit. 1t was to prevent further mis-
understandings on that score that the de-
partment positively declined Mr.. Davis
application for leave of absence for Mr..
Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr..
Davis to Pretoria. IF Mr.. Davis visit
had not been purely personal, it is very
probable that he would have been also
enjoined from proceeding to Pretoria,
for it is anticipated that misrepresenta-
tions as to his purpose would be drawn.
It is even now possible that he will re-
ceive reminder from the interior de-
partment that his course is embarrass.
ing to the government. The state
department. has sent no instructions to
Mr. Macruln respecting his attitude
towards the newspapers since his de-
parture from. Pretoria for the United
States. In fact it is said that the de-
partment has no authority whatever
over Mr.. Mecrum, who has passed out
Of the government service.

Daily Mails Story of Sundays Battle Near
Ladysmith.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Daily Mail
has the following, dated Sunday night,
from Spearmans camp:
'"There has been hot fighting all day
At dawn our attack was resumed along
the entire line, all the brigades taking
part. We soon discovered that the
Beers still occupied the range Of hills in
force. The range is intersected by
steep ravines and many approaches very
difficult Of access.
To-day, the Beers, who were driven
from their trenches yesterday, took
cover in dongas and behind the rocks
with which the hills are strewn. The
forces, therefore commenced the task Of
driving them out and set to work with.
good heart in the early morning. The
country swarms with hills
Favorsble to Guerrilla Warfare
and our task is an arduous one. Never
theless, it is being gradually accom-
pGshed. Whenever any Of the enemy
were observed taking up fresh posi-
ton our field batteries poured in show
ers Of shrapnel and the rapid movement
Df the guns, followed by accurate shoot
ing, must have greatly distressed them.
The enemy was on the defensive al
most the entire day save once, when
they attempted to outdank our left and
were signally checkmated. They relied
almost entirely on rife fire. A few
shells were fired from a heavy piece Of
ordnance, but these fell harmless.
We now occupy the lower crest on
the left and are converging slowly but
surely to the Boer center. The Boes.
