After Hard Fighting They Retired to

Weakened the British Force In That
section-goe Seized Advantage.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-4:20 a. m.-The
news Of the day is the enforced retire
ment of the British from the Colesbrg
district under heavy Boer pressure and
probably after brisk fighting. Thus at
a time when Lord Roberts is apparently
about 10 push AN army into the Free
State the Beers make counter stroke in
unknown but seemingly great force, not
far from the vital line of railway con-
Meeting Dc Aar and Orange river.
General French, when he joined Lord
Roberts, presumably took most Of his
cavalry. General Clements 'Tas left
with the infantry to hold the koers in
check, but Commandant Delarey, with
a double turning movement, has COM
PEELED the British to concentrate at
Rensberg, beside threatening Lord Rob
erts communications.
LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Rensburg, dated Feb
ID, says: There has been hard fighting
foy two days near Colesberg, the. Beers
making strenuous efforts to outfank the
British left. The enemy occupies strong
positions from Achtertang, through
Polfontein to point five miles south Of
Jasfontein.
"The fighting at the outpost camps
has been very severe during the last few
days. Yesterday the Beers attacked the
position of the Worcesters, to the south
east of Colesberg. Fighting continued
all day. and after dark it was considered
necessary to withdraw to Bensburg
Our losses are not yet known"
''On the left the West Australians,

odds. The Boer losses We're considera-

"Owing to the growing difficulty ex-
perieneed by conveys in reaching the
camps, all q the latter were vacated
last night and the troops withdrew to

The Committee on Fisheries, to

The Committee on Fisheries, to
whom was referred Senator Elkins'
bill to establish fish Matching and
fish station in the state Of West Vir-
ginia, report that such station
would be Of very great Importance.
The nearest station from which fish
can be supplied for stocking the wa
tiers in West Virginia is in the south
west corner Of Virginia, which stocks
the waters OF Southern and South
Atlantic states. A new station in
West Virginia could serve to stock
not only the waters of that state,
but those OF Kentucky, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, and Maryland. The amount
provided in the bill ($25, 000) for its
construction, including the purchase
of the land, is less than the cost of
many similar stations, and is regard
ed as very conservative estimate
The committee is OF the opinion that
the proposed station would be of
great benefit to a very large section
of country outside of the state of
West Virginia, and therefore recon-
mends that the bill do pass.
Another factor has entered our
agricultural educational system. The
farmers reading course has taken
its place along with the farmers in
stitute, the agricultural college, and
the experiment station as an impor-
tant agent in the diffusion of knowl-
edge and the development Of enthu
siasm among farmers. The Agncul
tural Department recently issued a
bulletin regarding this, in which the
following occurred. Late in the fall
of 1897 s.home reading course IN
agriculture was offered to the farm
ers of West Virginia. One hundred
and thirty-two readers are now en-
rolled, most Of whom are doing en-
thnsiastic work, most Of them by
the aid of the mails. The course
runs in four divisions-erop- produc-
tion, livestock production. hofticul-
ture, and rural economy A regular
course consists of any two of the four
divisions; or the student may elect
any ten books ont Of the twenty Of
fered Any student who has com
pleted a subject will receive an eX
animation and anyone receiving Is
per cent in any two divisions will
receive a suitable certificate. The
course is open to any applicant,
without fees The subjects may he

reader. The work is in charge OF

The Ohio Boss Once More Shows His
Power.

Philadelphia, June 1s.-It has been a
tial situation. Beginning with gather
ing in the room Of Governor Roosevelt,
attended by Senator Hanna, Senator
Lodge and Mr.. Odell of New York, it
was continued in the rooms of Senator
Hanna later when nearly all the leaders
in the city were from time to time in
conference with the chairman Of tho na-
ional committee.
Senator Hanna then pointed out that
after the delegates began arriving the
name of Roosevelt was suddenly sprung
with an effort to stampede the convention
and force "a nomination upon a man who
did not want it apparently because some
other candidate was desired for governor.
Plain talk from Senator Hanna cleared
up what had been in doubt all day. 1t
was evident that Hanna was not going to
lie down. 1t was distinct show OF fight
and signal to the friends of the admin
istration that opposition to forcing Roose-
Welt upon the ticket against his will
would meet with favor.
There were many real friends Of Roose-
velt who accepted his declaration as abso-
lutely as voicing his wish. 1t changed the
current of talk and men who We're conf
dent twenty-four hours ago that Roose-
velt's nomination was foregone con.
cluslon began asking: well, who will it
beY"
The answer was generally John ID.
Long of Massachusetts,, secretary of the
navy. At once delegates began to reason
that Long must be perfectly satisfactory
to the administration of which he is "a
part, or he would not be candidate for
the place.
This idea received encouragement in
quarters which made the Massachusetts,
man prime favorite.
The men most talked of were Long and
Dolliver, but with the general impression
that Long would be the ultimate selec-
tion.
And so the stampede for Roosevelt was
checked and turned, and that which
seemed so certain last night seems well
nigh impossible tonight. 1t has been q
day of hard work, of earnest endeavor,
and tonight the men most interested be-
lieye that the Roosevelt boom has finally
been laid to rest.

who are always uncharitable enough to
attribute sinister motives to Platt. They
intimated that he desired to kin two
birds with one stone; eliminate Rooss-
Welt from New York politics and humill-
ate Hanna for his uncompiimentary
criticism Of Woodruff. Gossip among
New Yorkers even went so far as to sug-
gest that with Roosevelt transferred to
the national ticket, Woodruff was alrea1 1y
agreed upon as the candidate for COVER
nor Of New York. Roosevelt had also
other advisers who insisted that it would
be suicide to decline the nomination. As

nominated, he cannot decline, he may

London, June 10, $50 a. m.-China
declared war against the world when the
Taku forts opened fire upon the interna :
place are still unsatisfactory, the best
semi-oflicial information being the sdes-
patch received at Berlin from Chez Foo.
The unofficial narratives, coming by
way of Shanghai, vary widely and bear
internal evidence Of supplementing the
main facts with guess work. One des-
patch says that the Yorktown participat-
ed in the bombardment. Another asserts
that American marines formed part of
the storming party of two thousand.
An Associated Press despatch from
Chez Foo, dated yesterday afternoon,
says;
1.-THE forts on bosh sides of the Taku
are now occupied. The Chinese opened
fire unexpectedly. The casualties to the
mixed forces were as follows:
"Killed-British, /; German, 8; Rus
sian, l6; French, l.
"Wounded-British, 4; German, z;
Russian, As; French, l.
1.-THE Chinese torpedo boats We're
seized"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail telegraphing yesterday says:
1.-The forts began firing in obedience to
orders from Pekin conveyed in personal
edict of the empress dowager by advice of
Kang vi president of the ministry Of
war; Sevearl warships were struck by
shells from the twelve-inch guns of the
forts.
"The heavy Russian losses were due to
the blowing up of the magazine at Mand-
shur.
-Four hundred Chinese are reported to
have been killed. The Chinese when
retreatlng fell into the hands Of the Rus
sian land force
The Daily News has the following from
Chez Foo;
1.-TWO of the forts We're blown up. The
thirty two warships at Taku aggregated
200, 900 tons and carried more than 500
guns"
The failure of Admiral Seymours col
umn and its retreat to Iien Tsin in
crease, it is presumed, the peril of the le-
cations in Pekin, which is still isolated,

mors that the legations We're attacked by
