BOERS CHECK
BULLER'S ADVANCE
Their Superior Shell Fire Too
Hot for the British.

Butler Decided Not TO Press AdvAn' e
BY That Route-MCDOnald Holds
Koodoosberg Drift Babington'S
Cavalry Helps Him TO Drive Back
the Beers
LONDON, Feb. I0.-The position
taken by Gen. Butler on the north
bank of the Tugela proved a difficult
one to hold. The regiments sent
across as reinforcement went into
the front line of trenches, but owing
to the great strength of the Beers on
Brakfontein hills to the left, they
found it impossible to advance with
out risking an unnecessary loss of
life.
The Beers continued to shell the
British position and several of Long
Tom 5 shells burst on Iwart KOpje,
but the Beers could not get the
range.
The British guns posted there fail
ed to silence Long Tom or the other
masked guns and the Beers con-
tinued to work their NOrdenfeid
on the British infantry entrencheu
in the hills, the fire being very Sc
we're at times.
Wednesday afternoon Gen. Bull
Ter decided not to press the adj
vance by that route.
The transport train moved back
and the infantry retired from Naal
krans. The Beers got a large num-
i'ber of guns in position and shelled
the transport train, the British guns
replying, but the superiority of the
B yer shell fire rendered advance i'm
possible.
Gen. McDonald's origina, orders
were to hold koOdoosberS drift aud
build a fort at that position. but he
found an extremely difficult long
raugr If hills terminating close to
the drift at the north bank of the
river and the best he could do was to
build strong works across the center.
The Beers advanced along TIE
ridge 10 within 800 yards of the
British position and mounted two
ll-pound mountain guns invisible
from the plain. They also held a
smaller drift three miles t. the west
ward.
! Lord Methuen sent a large force
Of cavalry and two horse battalions
under Gen. Darlington to surround
the Beers.
Next morning he found that the
Beers had fled from the lower drift
but still occupied the hill, which
they also left when they saw the Brit-
i>h force approaching. Darlington
vigorously Shelled them us they
he'd.

CR LLpING ON.

There's no need of getting scared about the bubenie plague, but it is in- teresting to notice that it has made it's appearance in two of our new pos sessions, the Philippines and the Sand
 wich Islands. It will be vigorously fought in both. Yesterday Secretary Root called into consultation Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital Service to discuss the establishment of quarantine system for the Philip pines. It was decided that the War department should adopt towards the islands policy like that which it pur- sued towards Cuba in the matter of the protection of health namely, the main tenance of quarantine system by the Marine Hospital Service In the Sand wich islands measures have already been taken to prevent the spread of the disease. It has been announced that inter-island traffic will not be entirely interrupted, though strict rules re- garding it will be enforced Only ap- proved freight will be allowed to be shipped, and only first-class passengers will be allowed to take passage, and then only after a strict medical exam ination No Asatics nor Oriental freight will be allowed to be taken. All mail will be fumigated.

DOES NOT F.f FOR PRIZE FIG HTING

Governor Rooseveit's message was sent to the legislature yesterday. It contains much that is interesting, even outside of the State for whose benefit it was written. Especially interesting is what Governor Roosevelt has to say about the Horton law and the prize fighting which has been permitted un- der it. It has long been known that the Governor is an advocate of ethe strenuous lfe,'' and some have insin- uated that he was inclined to look too leniently on strenuous prize fighting. But he sets himself and everybody else right in what he says, He would have the Horton law repealed because how ever proper it may have been in it's in- tent and as originally construed and administered, the gross abuses in it's present administration make it's exist ence on the statute books of the Empire State an offence against decency" But while Governor Roosevelt would have the Horton law repealed, and while he doesn't believe in prize fighting, he is still for 'strenuous life" He says: Rough, vigorous pastimes are excellent things for the nation. for they promote manliness, being good in their effects not merely upon the body, but upon the character, which is far more important than the body. It is an admirable thing for any boy or young man whose work is of sedentary character to take part in vigorous play, so long as it is terfere with his work Every exercise that tends to develop bodily vigor, dar- ing, endurance. resolution and self command should be encouraged. Box ing is fine sport; but this affords no justification of prize-fghting, any more than the fact that a cross-country run or a ride on a wheel is healthy justifies such a demoralizing exhibition as a six days race. When any sport is carried on primarily foT money-that is, as business-it is in danger of losing much that is valuable. and of acquiring some exceedingly undesirable characteristics. In the case of prize-fighting, not only do all the objections which apply to the abuse of other professional sports apply in aggravated form, but in ad- dition the exhibition has a very demor- alizing and brutalizing effect
 True enough, and well said All the people in the more civilized States will wish Governor Roosevelt success in whatever efforts he may make to dis courage prize-fighting in New York.

THE ZULU TELEGRAPH"

Cecil Rhodes boast, that he Is as safe as he would be in Piccadilly, is said to be literally true by those who know how strong the diamond capital is in armed men and natural defences. I think 1t more than likely that the inn prisoned folk in both these places are more anxious about Ladvsmith In Natal than they are about their own fortunes, for the native runners keep them in formed and they know that we are all expecting to hear of a third great bat tie in Natal, where the rocky hills pro- vide the fighting ground which the Boers love--not the best as'I was going to say, but exclusively; for any other sort of battle-ground they abominate and sheer as clear of as they can.
 The native runners of whom I speak are he Kaffirs OH this side, and the Ba- sutos and Zulus of the east coast Since I have never heard of such messengers anywhere else, think it probable that they are the most wonderful of the kind in the world. They are capable of running almost as far as our Indians,

Styles tn Foot Wear.

The pretty plaid stockings of sea son or so ago are now hard to find. Solid colors, many of them brilliant and elaborated with embroidery are the rule. The cobalt blue dotted all over with white, which we liked so much last summer, is voted all right for winter wear. The same thing dotted in black, and red dotted in black or blue, are pretty. Silk stockings are not so much worn as they used to be- Few women now wear low shoe in winter The stocky shoe that is the right thing for the street is not becoming in the low shape, so the boot fastening a lit tie above the ankle is used. It is quite necessary that the stocking should be of warm weave, if not, the skin above the boot line will chap. Isn't that odd! It never used to chap in low shoes
 For the house nothing is so pretty as the silken stocking. and all sorts of lovely effects are shown in open work insertion and embroidery. The house slipper may be q daintily elabora ted affair, or perfectly plain with patent leather tip, The fit of the slipper is an important matter, and so is it's shaping

THE pOPULIR LOAN.

The people of New Haven seem will ing to lend themselves money. The new popular loan went like hot cakes yesterday and it is evident that all the money wanted now will be easily ob- tained. The experiment is an interest ing one, and we see no reason why it should not be fairly successful. Per haps the people will not always be ready with the money wanted and it will never be good financiering to tempt them or please them with an interest rate much above the ruling rate. But perhaps the people will have money enough to lend to the city. and perhaps the city financiers will not pay more interest than they should.

THE PRICE,

It is now figured that the war in South Africa is likely to cost England $500,000,000. This is four or five times as large as the first talk, but the English have found four or five times as much England can raise half billion with out much difficulty, by selling consols and by additional taxation though it is big sum- It isn't this part Of the price that will "stagger humanity" but humanity, which has already shuddered at the bloodshed, may be staggered by England's determination seems to be to pay it.
