Lord Roberts Advises That White Be Left to
His Fate.

New York, Jan. 29.-There is comment
in London on the discrepancy between
the Boer account of the recapture of
Spion Kop and that sent by Gen. Butler.
The latter says not word about the
Beers scaling the hill and attacking
the British trenches and capturing $50
men who had hoisted the white flag as
at Majuba Hill. Instead, he spoke of
the maintenance of the "best traditions
of the British army There is not
much doubt that the Boer account is
correct. 1t is by no means boastful.
1t is believed that the war office has
further dispatches which it is withhold
ing. For days nothing has been heard
from Lord Dundonald and his mounted
troops and it is rumored that he has
been cut off on the upper Tugela
The London military critics have
given up hope of saving Ladysmith,
which-is undoubtedly short of food and
ammunition. The garrison went on
short rations December ,.
The Morning Leader says:
''win Ladysmith fall in consequence
of Buffers retirement or in consequence
of another attack by the victorious
Beers?
1.-The city has already held out its
full time. Its last communication
across the Tugela otherwise than by
electric or sun flashing was on Novem-
Der last. It was then believed to have
enough provisions and ammunition for
three months The three months are
up next Friday.
There has been no chance during
these months to throw into the city a
pound of food or a pound of cordite.''
OF the newspaper correspondents who
voluntarily remained in Ladysmith, c.
w. Stevens, of the London Daily Mail:
Mitchell. of the London Standard, and
Stabb of the Times of India. died of
fever in one week; ;Ferrand of the Trans
vaal Leader was killed in the Wagon
Hill fight.
The London Daily Mail says:
1.-THE richest and what was hitherto
considered the most powerful nation in
the world stands today in the humili-
ating position of seeing its armies
beaten back with heavy losses at the
hands of two small states.
Our ambassadors abroad suffer ig-
nominy, knowing that DR.. Leyds has
during the past week been received at
semi official entertainments not only
IN Paris, but in Berlin,
zone would have thought that DR..

Leyd's reception by foreign govern
ments was already sufficiently sugges-
tive. One would have thought the time
had come when some attempt should
be made to mobilize the feet and the
remaining land forces in order that the
world may know that while bearing our
sufferings calmly, we have no intention
of subsiding into a second or a third
rate power by allowing foreign inter-
vention of any kind"
The Post says:
parliament will have to do some
thing more than give expression to pub
lie opinion The time will come when
the nation must not merely arouse itself
to fresh exertions, but must open its
eyes to the facts and take into account
the actual state of the world.
'The war can not be conducted with
reference to the state of public opinion
in Great Britain for the state of the
armies engaged and the temper of other
powers that are looking on are not less
important elements in the problem"
AS it required a month for Butler to
recover from his earlier defeat at Co
lenso. it is not thought he can pull his
disheartened army together now in
time to do anything for Ladysmith-
London waits anxiously for the Beers
to move. They seem to be fighting on
a very definite plan and it is thought
they may attack Butler or assault
Ladysmith.
Parliament meets tomorrow and the
radical and Irish members are prepar-
ing for. a savage onslaught upon the
government.
BULLER'S REPORT.
London, Jan. 29.-GeneraI Butler tele-
graphs the war Office that Spion Kop
was abandaned on account of lack of
water, inability to bring artillery there
and the heavy Boer fire.
General Butler gives no list of casual
ties. His whole force withdrew south
of the Tugela river, with the evident
intention OF reaching Ladysmith by
another route
The Beers say that the British lost
l 500 killed Wednesday, It is believed
here that this includes the wounded
The Beers also claim that $50 of the
English troops surrendered at Spion
Kop.

ABSORBENT FOR POWDER GAS.
Successful Experiment on the
ComStock.

The Virginia Chronicle of May 80
says: President NJ. w. Fox of the
Hale and Norcross Company, who has
been experimenting the past three days
with liquids that will absorb the gas
generated by blasting with giant powd-
err announced to-day that combinat-
ion compound of carbon dioxide and
nitrogen, prepared by Professor F. E.
Fielding. assayer at the Con. Cal. q Va.
Office, is a success.
Professor Fielding's compound, plac-
ed in a rectangular box feet in length
by % inches in width and 10 inches In
depth, was run on truck within 30 feet
OF the face OF drift where round OF
holes had been fired, absorbed the dead.
ly nitrous oxide gas, produced by blast
ing with giant, in twenty minutes, using
twelve sticks of powder.
After the compound has been alb
sorbed the powder gas was dissipated
in a short time after coming in contact
with pure air and the compound can be
used over and over again indefinitely.
In blasting a round of holes where sixty
sticks of giant powder are used, the
compound absorbs the noxious powder
gas in less than three hours whereas
without its use powder gas makes it I'M
safe to enter drift where a blast of
that character was fired eight hours
afterwards. The experiments with
Professor Prices liquid absorbent were
failures.

that OF a Presidential election. There
were two candidates in the field, VIM.

Shields for long term and George Allen
for short term, on the other. There
were thirty-one votes east, Matson re-
ceiving IS for long term, for short:
LAM Is for short term for long, Shields
II for long term and Allen IL for short.
AS soon as the result was announced
Mr.. Shields entered protest on the
grounds that the Matson and LAM bal
lots did not have a cross after their
names, therefore were illegal. Judge
Bush was Attorney for Mr.. Shields and
forwarded protest with the returns.

MEETING OF LEAD PRODUCERS.

Sundays S. l.. Tribune says; 1.-THE
lead producers meeting on Tuesday
evening next will be one of the most
important that these producers have
ever held It is claimed by the bears
in lead in the East that the fall in lead
is caused by its over production, that
only the natural laws of supply and de-
mand are in operation and that these
have caused the present unsatisfactory
state of the market Whether this
wholly explains the conditions govern
ing now or not, is one of the questions
for the lead-producers to consider. At
all events, general movement is said
to be- on foot to limit the production to
such an extent that too much lead may
not be pleaded as an excuse for throw
ing the market down. Mr.. Bamberger
reports such movement already be-
gun In Idaho, and as about to be inau-
gurated in Missouri.

money comes back to the state in the
form of prizes, though the proportion
is SO ludicrously small that 1t only
proves our previous statement, that a
lottery is swindle pure and simple.
Once established in this State, lot
terry would become fostering sore that
would poison our entire State life. II
would always have to face strong OPP
position, composed of the elements of
decency among our people, and to
maintain its position would be forced to
resort to all manner of bribery and cor
ruption. The experience OF Louisiana
should be warning enough to men who
have any regard for the fair name of
our State. The NEWS declares itself
opposed to any party or
that goes into the campaign
this fall on a lottery platform.

The amendent to the Constitution of
the United States, which was intended
to give Congress authority to define,
regulate, control, prohibit or dissolve
trusts. monopolies or combinations was
defeated in the House of Represent
atives last Friday by the votes of the
Democrats. There we're thirty eight
lacking of the required two thirds.
In view of their action on this amend
ment, the talk of the Democrats against
the trusts can only expose that party
to ridicue. 1t has shown that its OPP
position has been prompted solely by
political motives. Its orators and news
papers have lost no opportunities to de-
nounce these giants of commerce, but
when measure was proposed to give
to Congress the power to deal with the
trusts effectively, every Democrat but
five was against it. We are pleased to
see that the name of Congressman New
lands was among those who voted in
the affirmative.
