VERY LITTLE PROGRESS.
British Were Evidently Only Opposed b,
BOer OutDOsts.

British Were Evidently Only Opposed BY
Boer Outposts.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-2:2O p. Nab.
sence of news Of Mondays movements
north of the Tugela river is occasioning
some additional anxiety, but General
Butler is engaged in q big operation
which will take considerable time To
work out. Even the slight advance of
General Warren's forces after two DAYS
fighting does not appear to have yielded
an important advantage to the British,
as the captured kOpjes were evidently
only held as advanced posts in order to
delay the progress Of the British troops
and enable the Beers to complete their
entertainments and to mount guns on
the position Oh which they have elected
to make a stand. 1t is remarked that
the Beers thus far, have used little ar
tlllery, from which it is judged that
their guns are already mounted on tao
teal positions from which the British
will have to dislodge the republicans
before reaching Ladysmith.
There is no confirmation of the report
that Lord Dundonald has entered Lady
smith, and none is expected. Experts
oplne that the Beers would only be too
glad to let him in unopposed.
Indignation and Disgust.
The indignation and disgust expressed
at the plumbers and incapacity Of the
yeomanry staff, to whom is ascribable
n rank failure threatening to over
whelm the movement started with such
a fanfare Of trumpets, are increasing
daily.
Those who were able to carry the
scheme to success, have been met at
every turn with red tape and all kinds
OF obstacles and Sights by the inner cir.
Gle OF titled incapables, resulting in
scores OF good men withdrawing from
participation in the plans. In the case
OF South Bedfordshire Yeomanrv. a
whole company Of 10 selected men has
disbanded in disgust.

The discussions in the democratic
party on the money and expansion ques-
tons have been a fertile source OF graft.
fcation to the republicans for q long
time and they have been enjoying the
hal~lucination that the eastern demo-
Gratis would never surrender to Mr..
Bryan on these questions. Much
curiosity has attached to Mr.. Bryan's
recent visit to Washington and the out
come of his consultation with the demo-
cratic leaders. Expectations of a rue
ton have hoated il republican visions,
but with his characteristic honesty
and magnetism, Mr.. Bryan has eur
mounted all difficulties and established
harmony. A policy for action and in
huence until the meeting Of the next
democratic national convention has
been agreed upon by the leaders, though
with some "kickiug" at first on the part
of a few of the prominent ones, and ,s as
follows:
/. The suppression OF theinsurrection
in the Philippine islands.
.. The establishment Of a republican
form of government there as soon as the
instruction is suppressed.
3. the withdrawal OF the army as
soon as such a government is in opera
ton.
4. The REIMBURSEMENT of the
sovereignty Of the United States, but
the exercises of a protectorate over the
islands in order to prevent foreign inter.
ference.
5. The issue of :2O,OOO,O 900 in bonds
OF the Philippine republic to reimburse
the United States for the indemnity
paid to Spain.
The solution of the trust problem was
less difficult, and Mr.. Bryan's plan WAS
generally approved. He proposes that
the jurisdiction of the federal govern
ment be extended over all corporations
that have interests in more than n
state, and are therefore engaged IN inter.
state commerce in the constitutional
meaning Of that phrase, and the passage
OF b law requiring them to take out
licenses. for which they must pay a
responsible tax to the commissioner OF
internal revenue. At stated periods I'll
such corporations shall be required to
publish statements of their financial
and transactions, similar to
those made by the national banks. and
their books shall be alwaye open to *.
animation by special agents of the in
ternal revenue bureau, who shall have
power aud duties similar to those Of
national. bank examiners.

IN REGARD TO TIDE LANDS
Decision Which Affects the
Mines at Cape Nome.
LEAVES THEN IN SANE POSITION THEY NOW HOLD
Can Work the Claims Only So Long
as, They Are in Actual 0c-
cupat1on Thereof.

A question of much local Importance
has just been decided by Commissioner
Hermann of the General Land Office,
regarding placer mining on the beach
| of the Behring Sea off the coast of
Alaska at and near Cape Nome, the
new gOldfield. The decision Affects
mining and locations embracing tide
lands below the line of ordinary high
tide. Numerous applications are
pending before the Interior Department
as to locations on such lands, which
have been demonstrated to contain
gold. Individuals or associations of
persons, and incorp GRATED mining COM
panies are seeking concessions from the
Government, by which they may ac-
quire exclusive mining rights and priv
ileges pertaining to such tide lands.
The commissioner decides that tide
lands in the District of Alaska are not
public lands subject to disposal to in
dividuals under any of the existing
land laws of the United States, and that
the department has no statutory author
ity to make concessions to individuals of
any mining rights pertaining to such
tide lands.
A citation is made by the Commis-
sioner to the case of Shlveley VS..
Bowlby, decided by the United States
Supreme Court, in which it was held
that the United States on acquiring a
territory, whether by cesson from one
OF the States, or by treaty with for
eign country, or by discovery and set
tlement, takes the title and the do
minion of lands below high-water mark
of tide-waters for the future States to
be created out of the territory, and it
was further held that Congress has not
undertaken, by general laws, to dis
pose of lands below high water mark of
tide-waters in territory, but unless in
case OF some international duty of pub
lie exigency, has left the administration
and disposition of the sovereign rights
in such waters and lands to the con-
troll of the States, respectively, when
admitted into the Union.
This decision leaves the beach miners
at Nome and vicinity in the same posi-
tion they now hold. They can work
the claims only so long as they are in
actual occupation. So far there has
been a general agreement among the
miners which seems to have worked
very well; especially as the gold bear
ing sands are of small depth and it does
not take long to work out a claim. 1t
is easy to see, however, that dissen-
sions and serious trouble might arise
over the possession of claim.
The decision will also prevent the
holding of any large section of the
beach by company, and will very
probably prevent the use of machinery
for working on a large scale, since
there will be hesitation about spending
large sums for machinery when the
possession of large territory is doubt
full. 1t will probably leave the beach
mines open to individual prospectors
and miners, as now.
OF course an appeal may be taken
from the COMMISSIONER decisions,
but it seems to be founded on law, and
will probably stand unless Congress
should take some special action in the
matter. = Engineering and Mining
