 TranSvaaI.

Stinson's saloon at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-third street was trans formed into a miniature Transvaal yester- day afternoon with Ike Young, a drunken brickmason in the role of the English and 5. L. Stinson, the proprietor occupying the position of the Boers. The battle was decisive and proved disastrous to the Brit lsn, although the Boers were hard pressed for time by the flank movement of the enemy who charged the trenches. The ire rom the Boer gun was effective, however, and put an abrupt stop to the forward movement of Tommy Atkins"
 The following account of the fracas was gwen out oy MT. Stfnson, Wno gave bond for his appearance. before Judge Feagin to answer to the charge of assault with weapon:
 Young, who was a stranger to me came to my bar and ordered d glass of beer which he drank and refused to pay for. l told him if he ever did the like again would Kick him out of the place; where upon he began cursing me, and I struck him with my fist. He then threw a marble match box which would probably weigh eight or ten pounds, at me. 1 lodged this and hit him on the cheek with a water glass, whereupon he hurled a beer bottle at me, striking my hand In return I dashed the stone match box at him. He then rushed around the counter and seized d lonS-piaueu steel lemon knife and made for me with it as I struck his arm with a bottle of ginger ale. frIt
 Not wishing to hurt him, went olrtB the front door of the white bar, walked up to the entrance of the colored saloon and went to the back end, while Young con tinued to follow. To further avoid him I re-entered the white bar through a middle door and was met by Young, who was still endeavoring to reach me with the knife
 'I then seized my pistol and endeavored to shoot Young in the arm to disarm him.
 He continued to approach and I fired the second time and ran out the back door with Young following. I started to the front door and shot at him again. trying to shoot him in the leg.
 Just as l was entering side door near the front of my house fell, and, thinking Young would reach me with the knife, I fired again. When Young reached the door he fell"
 Officer Culpepper was promptly on the scene and made the arrests. Young was taken to police headquarters where his wounds were dressed by a physician. It was found that he had slight flesh wound on the left arm and another in the calf of the left leg. He also has gash on his cheek by the glass, but he is not seriously hurt.

ENGLAND PROUD
Buffers Report From Spion Kop Thrills
 the People

London January 26@i:15 a. m.-General Buffers phrase "the men are splendid" thrills England with pride and confidence. His taking and holding spion kop are con- sidered permanent advantages.
 Sir Charles Warren's opinion that miles of the adjacent Boer entrenchments are untenable is accepted by most expert oo7' servers as obviously truesibactdse rom the hejght-rf tie position, also some point out that if it may lack adequate gun platform ito resist artillery fire from the two ex- tended sides, it Is not likely that General Warren will let go anything he holds and news of further success Is calmly awaited. The military authorities are cognizant that an these twelve or fifteen miles between Splon kop and Ladysmith there are con- tluous defensive positions and rugged hills and ravines which far outrange Spion kop, hut they are sure that the troops who have turned the Boers out of difficult places can do it again.
 The military expert of the Times says 'It is exceedingly early to arrive at any exact estimate of the advantage A definite tactical object has been attained and defin- dte steps have been taken in the fulfllment of the strategic plain. It is necessary to await fuller information before attaching undue weight to the success thus far at tained. At least there has been steady progress"
 The Kildonan Castle reached Durban yesterday cThursday) with 1000 additional troops for General Butler and three troop ships have arrived from India bringing among others regiment of lancers. Be- yond this it is not publicly known how heavily General Butler has been reinforced, but those having certain connections with the war office are confident that General Butler will have as many more men as he may need to make his work successful. General Buffers other armies are expected to make a forward movement soon.

There are just two theories behind
the charter movement. One is that
municipal government would embarrass
or minimise the functions of the Terri
torial government The other is that
the deal would make new salaried ofn-
ces to fill and give some OF the tax
eaters a chance at fat contracts.
''There would be rings and things and
fine array" as Shakespeare said. The
two ideas suit the anti-missionary and
job-chasing elements and they are the
only ones here that are unreservedly
for the charter.

The paper which discovered that
George Carter was defeated by a
heavy vote in the late election, de-
spite the contrary showing of. the re-
turns, now lets it's genius for knowing
things that are not so apply to the land
issue. Hence this diyerting. series of
plumbers: s
The giant stroke which shall do all of
these things is a question Of state, a
thing of beauty and a joy forever If 1t
happens to work, and that is the inaug-
ural address of Sanford 3. Dole as
Governor of the Territory. 1t is away
and above. the treaty of annexation and
the public land laws of the United
States of America, all of which are of
about the value of so much white pa
per The point is that when Congress
passed a very explicitly wOrded resolu-
ton that the lands of Hawaii should De
a part of the American public domain
those insignificant and ill-informed
male servants of the American people
did not know what Mr.. Dole's inaugur-
al address was going to be. He could
have told them but he probably did not
want to say much at the time or to let
them know that he was going to have
Mr. Mckinley appoint him Governor.
But that does not make any difference,
for as long as the inaugural address has
laws will have to stand aside.
1t happens that the treaty of an
nexation" which our blunderbuss con-
temporary imagines to be identical with
the Joint resolution of annexation and
1.-THE Territorial Act came to nothing.
Every Island school boy in the upper
grades ought to know so much of the
rec nt local history of our times and
; to be aware, Furthermore, that the
public land laws of America do not
apply here. Sec. 70 of the organic law
says:
| That the laws of Hawaii relating to
public lands, the settlement of bound
aries and the issuance of patents on
land commission awards, except as
changed by this Act, shall continue in
( force until Congress shall. otherwise
provide.
The changes made are partly in
phraseology, partly in regard to. the
j time limit of leases. the exclusion of
land reserved by executive order for
Government purposes. etc In no re-
spect has the administration of our
public lands been turned over to the
United States Land Commissioner. and
the income from sales and leases is set
apart for the benefit of the inhabitants
of the Territory. If the treaty" and
1.-The American land law were set aside
as they certainly were. Congress is the
guilty party and should have the re-
proof of our scattering contemporary
rather than Governor Dole.

correspondent who may not have
seen the Associated Press dispatch
about the reasons for Russell Il. Har-
risons summary retirement from the
army sends the following letter:
Editor Advertiser: Your editorial tho
other day / think does an injustice to
Russell r. Harrison. At the beginning
of the Spanish war many young men,
sons of their fathers secured COM
missions. The city of Indianapolis
alone furnished three Of these, viz: Wm.
f. English, Harry New and Russell b.
Harrison, each being commissioned as
captains and assigned to staff duty for
the reason that none of them knew
enough to put a company through the
manual of arms. But they all did their
duty as they saw it. Captains English
and New were mustered out of the
service long ago with the same rank
as they entered. 1t seems to me that
the fact that Harrison has remained in
the service until now. and attained the
rank of Lieutenant Colonel, does not
show that he goes out under cloud.
He belonged to the volunteer establish
ment and served in Cuba, and the mil
itary establishment now in Cuba con-
sists almost if not entirely of regular
troops, General Lee. on whose staff
Harrison served, being relieved from
Cuban command and ordered home. The
fact that Harrison's father was against
him proves nothing, for all Hoosiers
know the ex-President has been against
all his children ever since they opposed
his second marriage. and has not spok-
en- to any of them since that event. and
has left no stone unturned at any cor
Ter to do them dirt r. 3. may not
be the soldier his father was, nor even
a Napoleon or a Grant, but he deserves
credit for serving his country, and be-
ling mustered out of the volunteer SER
vice need not be considered q cloud
All the volunteers must be mustered
out soon now. A HOOSIER.
OF course the matter is not very i'm
lportant and this journal merely mem
toned it in passing, but that young
Mr.. Harrison missed his vocation when
he went into the army is, tolerably well
attested However, it was creditable in
him to enlist and quite in keeping with
