Keen snxiety prevailed throughout
England on Wednesday for news Of Gen
Warren's night attack on Spion kop.
which Gen. Butler n a dispatch late
Tuesday night said was meditated. All
night long the war Office in London was
brilliantly lit up and many officials were
on hand awaiting news Of the daring step
that Butler had ordered. Early nora.
ing brought groups of people to the war
Office, and as the day advanced they
came in crowds. Not n line, however,
came from Butler. Noon went by and
still nothing came, and anxiety IN all
sides Increased.
Gen. Buffers dispatch announcing that
Warren was to make q night attack with
the bayonet, one Of the most hazardous
moves Of modern warfare, was taken to
indicate that his aanking movement
which Warren undertook, had signally
failed. Butler apparently had been fore
ed to return to the tactics which have
thus far proved unsuccessful-that is q
frontal attack on a fortified enemy. The
only change was that the attack was to
be made at night. Methuen tried this at
Magersfontein, but the Beers were awake
and it resulted in fearful losses in the
Highland brigade, which had been sent
to do the work. Remembering this, it
can easily be seen with what fear and
anxiety the English people awaited the
result of Buffers movements.

from the Boer lager near Colenso 10000

the statement telegraphed from the Boer

Most Of the way to L%adysmith is up
hill. and every kopje and ridge on the cx-
tended line Of attack has been occupied
by the burghers. Driven from enc posi-
ton, they have fallen back ca another
already fortified with breastworks and
trenches. The campaign has hitherto
been chiefly q contest of spade and pick
against bayonet, with the odds in favor Of
the former. Since Gen. Butler ordered
a simultaneous advance Of his entire
forces the various divisions have been
moving along q front Of twenty-six miles.
To the extreme left, Lord D%undonald's
cavalry has been working its way slowly
round Spion kop with the evident inten-
ton Of turning the Borrs' position. The
ground occupied BY the burghers has lent
itself naturally to defense, and this adj
vantage has been greatly increased by
numerous trenches and covered ways,
with formidable stretches Of barbed wire
in front. The British had no other way
Of taking these works but by frontal at
tack.
The first sign Of discord among the
English people as to the carrying on Of
the war was announced Wednesday. John

the losses on either side are given. Col.

relief Of Mafeking from the north, has
had no recent adventures worth noting.
The British have formed a new camp at
Potfontein, twent- miles east Of Rens-
burg. It is held by the First cavalry
brigade. which has an outpost FIVE miles
to the north. This gives the British q
front Of thirty miles in extent from Pot

lows:
The coming naval maneuvers of the
Japanese fleet are attracting great IN
terest The display of Japan's increas-
ed naval power which will make a most
imposing spectacle will undoubtedly
tend to increase the war spirit of the
nation.
Much interest is taken in the enor-
nous increase of late in the emigration
to the Hawaiian islands More than ten
thousand contract laborers and 5000
free emigrants have left between May
and December of last year. This large
increase is said to have resulted from
the laxity with which the immigration
laws have been administered by the
Hawaiian authorities. 1t is probable
that owing to reports of trouble given
to Honolulu by the large number of
Japanese lOafers, something will be done
to check the tide of immigration.
News of the court intrigues in China
excite the liveliest interest. The rela
lions between the japanese government
and the empress dowager's regime are
undoubtedly of an intimate character
and something of the nature of an ac
cord of the two governments causes all
movements among the Celestials to be

GROWTH OF RAILROAD AC-
TIVITY

Every six months the Railroad Ga
zette prints a summary of the new
work in the railroad field in the United
States, Canada and Mexico The issue
of February contains the last of these
reviews.
The Gazette's first list, which APP
peared in February, 1898. contained re
ports of 167 new lines and extensions.
In that published in July of the same
year, 275 new projects were noticed. In
February, 1899. the total reached 595,
and in July over 1,1O0 Now, the num-
Der of improvements proposed or being
made exceeds $50. The railroad COM
panies interested in these improvements
number 1 900 By far the greater part
of this new work is in the United States,
the new lines or improvements con
templated or being carried out in this
country numbering 1.15O, by about S75
companies. In Canada there are over
100 different projects in which about 100
companies are interested, and, in Mex
leo, So companies are interested in As
new lines and extensions
The number of new lines, extensions
and improvements that are now build
ing is 347. OF this number PCS refer
to enterprises in the United States, SO
to Canadian enterprises and 10 TO Mex
lean. Six months ago. says the Gazette,
there were 255 such lines and extensions
in the United States, % in Canada and
70 in Mexico. A year ago there were
11S in the United States, six in Canada
and six in Mexico.
The same issue of the Gazette con-
tains summary of the railroad work
done in 1899. This shows 1859 miles of
road built in the United States by 2S4
companies, 656 miles in Canada by 10
companies, and PSF miles in Mexico by
10 companies-a very considerable gain
over the mileage of recent years. More
miles of railroad We're constructed in
Iowa in 1899 than in any other state
and the railroad which heads the list
for new mileage is the Chicago &
Northwestern.
