WHAT HURT HIM MosT.-Private
John Allen, the famous member Of con-
gress from Mississippi, by simple
story, once killed absolutely an elabo-
rate, venomous sectional speech and so
thoroughly discounted the maker Of ic
that he never afterwards gained his
prestige on the rostrum. The name OF
this man, who has met with misfortune
since, need not be mentioned here, but
he had outdone himself in vituperation
and abuse, while his own war record
had not been especially brilliant.
Allen replied by telling how, after
the war, he, the only private in the
Confederate army, had gone back and
found everything in ruins, and on his
way to his own plantation stepped In
to see a friend and found him sitting
sadly amid the desolation. He tried to
comfort him and cheer him up, until
finally the friend said:
John, I do not mind the loss Of my
money, and the ruin Of my farm or the
damage to my health, or even the sur
ferings my family have undergone-all
that Is part of the game-but what
makes me sad is the thought that In
about Is or 20 years after this Is all
the fellows who never smelt pow
der will be getting up before big crowds
and telling them how they thrashed
u.s."
OF course, this gives neither the spir-
it nor the flavor as Allen did it, for no
type or reproduction can do justice to
his inimitable humor, but In Its erect
the story was one of the most remark
able ever told in this country.

cRoNJE CANNOT ESCAPE.
Roberts Has Him Completely Sur
rounded With Artillery and Is
Shelling His Position.

LONDON. Feb. 22.-Great relief has
been caused here by the receipt of the
news from Paardeberg showing that
Roberts Is personally experimenting
the operations and. though It is diff
cult to grasp the real situation. ii is
thought Roberts is gradually tighten
ing his grip on Cronje's forces. In
spite Of the apparent failure OF sun
days attempt to storm the Boer posi-
tion, II is evident that Cronje is not
merely laagered in the ordinary ac-
ception OF the term. but occupies a
carefully prepared and strongly en-
trenched position, previously made
ready with the object Of the storming
prospective in British invasion OF the
Free state.
After failing to dislodge CronJe, in
spite Of great bloodshed on both sides.
Roberts seems to have contented him
self with shelling the Beers Monday
and Tuesday He apparently contem-
plated renewal of the assault Tues
day afternoon, but after reconnois-
sance he decided to content himself
with shelling the Beers, which he was
still doing when the Paardeberg ad-
vices were sent at o'clock yesterday.
The fact that Beers from Ladysmith
have already arrived in the neighbor-
hood Of Paardeberg caused some ap-
prehension, put the reinforcements of
guns and men are also coming to Rob-
erts and it is not thought the Trans
vaalers and Free Staters will be able
to transport hurrledly great number
of men and horses.
From available information received
here It appears that Roberts has COM
pletely surrounded Cronje with artil-
lery, thus releasing the other arms, of
which the military experts assert he
has plenty. to defeat all the reinforce
ments of the Beers as they arrive in
detail. The fact that Cronje asked for
an armistice points to great losses, as
well as indicating that he recognized
that his hope lies in securing delay in
order to allow the Boer reinforcements

The speech which had great deal
OF influence In fixing the date was
made by ex-senator German. He said
that four years ago II might have been
well to hold the convention earlier as
the party then took new position. one
which drove many Of the leaders out
OF the party or into temporary retire

The temporary organization then
went into the hands OF able men, but
many Of whom had not been active in
the control OF the party affairs. 1t took
them some time to organize. Now there
was good organization. This party
was ready and equipped to enter upon
the campaign.
The party In power should be allowed
to hold its convention and the indict-
ment OF that party could be made as
II had been made in times past.
Chairman Jones was authorized TO
appoint a subcommittee Of seven to
make arrangements for the convention.
