BULLER'S MOVE
BELIEVED TO BE MAKING WIDE
DETOUS WITH $1,000 MEN
WEST AND NORTH.
News From the Western Fled Indicates
That Large Operations are About
to Begln-Overwhelming Force IN
der French Expected to Take Nor
walls Point at Crossing of Orange.

London, Feb. ca a. m.-Military
opinion in London continues to assume,
from very slender materials, that Gen
eral Butler is again throwing the army
against the Beer forces. Retired Gen
eraI Sir VIM. Henry Green, whose dis
tinguished career gives weight to his
opinion, thinks General Butler. with
20, goo men, is making a wide detour to
the toughest parts of the country. AS
General Butler must have some thou
sands of wagons, Sir VIM. Green points
out that his advance is necessarily slow.
No advices are at hand save that the
war office reaffirmed orally to newspa-
per inQuirers, at a late hour, it could
not confirm the reported advance.
There the Natal situation rests.
1t is from the western fild that more
definite statements come. Large opera
tions, apparently, are about TO begin.
General French, who has now returned
to Rensburg from a conference with
Lord Roberts, sent what is described
as an overwhelming force of infantry to
seize Norval's point. This is where the
railway, before it was destroyed, cross
ed the Orange river and connected with
the Free State trunk line to Bloem-
fontein. Norvars point is 10 miles
north of Colesburg and 25 miles from
General French's headquarters at Rens-
berg. The Beers at Colesburg have
been in danger of being surrounded by
the largely reinforced and extending
lines of the British. An occupation of
Norvals point in force would presum-
ably render Colesburg untenable.
The Beers are showing great activi-
ty in the Naupoort and Colesburg dis
tricts. Many guns hitherto firing with
Lord Methuen are believed to have
gone to Norval's point. The British,
therefore, may find formidable bodies
of Beers there.
The war office announced that Is
transports would be dispatched be-
tween today and Monday with 10, 600
troops. Sir Alfred Miner, in a letter
written three weeks ago TO the former
lord mayor of Belfast, said the war
would last three or four months longer.
The censorship seems to have com
pletely shut down the correspondents
at Spearman's camp. No dispatches
from that point appear in this morn
ing's papers, and nothing has beer al
lowed to issue since Sunday evening.

FOREST RESERVE WORK.
Investigations in the West Will be Be
gun in a Few Weeks.

The department of the interior has
recently applied to the department of
agriculture for complete working plans,
to be prepared by the division of for
estry, for all of the national forest res
ervations in the west. This is one of
the most important steps taken in the
administration of these reservese since
their creation by the president and will,
eventually, transform them into a rev.
enue-producing part of the national
economy.
Several years will be required to ex-
ecute the project. 1t will be necessary
to determine the present condition OF
the forest, what merchantable timber
occurs, and how it can be marketed to
meet continuously the requirements OF
the people without injury to the pro,
ductive power Of the fores.
The division Of forestry will begin
work in a few weeks in the BlacA Hills
reserve in South Dakota. This requires
the earliest attention because
its timber supply is needed by a large
number of settlers, miners, and mill
men. The extent Of this demand will
be investigated and plans devised for
meeting it without exhaustion of the
supply. An estimate of standing tim
Der will be made and the rate of growth
will be studied in order to provide a
satisfactory basis for predicting the
future yield Of the forest.
Henry S. Graves, superintendent of
working plans, and e. NJ. Griffith, an
expert forester of the division, will be-
gin the work. to be Joined later by a
corps of assistants. After a few weeks
Mr.. Graves will leave the work in
charge Of his assistants and proceed
to make reconnaissance surveys of sew
eral other western reserves with a view
of taking them up as DOR as possible,
and probably in the following order:
The Big Horn reserve, in Wyoming;
the Priest River reserve, in Idaho: and
the Olympic and Mount Rainier re-
serves of Washington. During the en-
suing summer the forester of the de-
partment will continue the reconnois-
sance in the remaining reservations.

HOUSE AND SENATE
ALLEGED POLLUTION OF MISSIS
SIPPI WATERS WILL NOT
BE INVESTIGATED.
Bill Defeated in the House Yesterday
Bill Providing a Government for
Puerto Rico Reported in the Sen
ate-Isthmian Canal Treaty Signed
by Hay and Pauncefote.

Washington, Feb. 5.-This was sus-
pension day in the house, and Mr..
Bartboldt of Missouri was recognized
to move the passage under the suspen-
sion Of the rules of a bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the appointment of an
expert scientific commission to inves-
tigate the alleged pollution of the wa
tiers of the Mississippi river and other
rivers which threaten the water supply
in more than one state.
Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois and Mr.. Rich
ardson of Tennessee demanded a Sec
ond, which was ordered by unanimous
consent. This permitted forty minutes
debate on each side. Mr.. Bartholdt, in
advocating the passage of the bill, said
it had been Endorsed by the legislatures
of fourteen states n the boards of
health of sixteen states. He refrained
from any reference to the Chicago
drainage canal during his remarks.
The house finally defeated the bill
for investigating the pollution of wa
ter by a vote of &C to 81.
Mr.. Dinsmore, in discussing the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation
bill, said that the action of the MAORI
ty indicated its intention to absorb Gu
ba. He would favor annexation, if de-
sired by the people, but not in any such
manner as Hawaii had been annexed.
PUERTO RICAN GOVERNMENT.
Washington, Feb. Soon after the
senate convened today Senator For
aker of Ohio, chairman of the commit

sented a statement of the views of him
self and Mr.. Perkins Of California, dis
senting in part from the majority re-
port.
The following bills were presented:
To cerate a new division of the eastern
judicial district Of Tennessee and
change the times and places of the dis
trict courts of the northern district of
Texas; authorizing the Dubuque and

IRRIGATION CENSUS.
Canal and Ditch Owners Asked to Co.
Operate With the Census Office.

The director of the census desires to
impress upon all engaged inagricultural
pursuits in the arid and sub-humid re-
gions of the United States, the import
ance of cooperating with the census
Office in the work of collecting data
relating to irrigation.
Without such cooperation, a full and
accurate showing of the progress and
development of these regions cannot
be assured, and the sections wherein
reports are incomplete, will suffer in
comparison with those from which full
er information has been secured.
In thirteen states and territories, ir-
rigation, wholly or in part, is relied up
on to produce crops. 1t is the applica-
ton, in the strictest sense, of scientific
methods in farming. Its continued de-
velopment results in internal expansion
of the public domain with which no in
dividual or political party can find
fault. 1t conquers the encroaching des-
ert and reclaims millions of acres of
waste lands. 1t means an increase in
the productive area of our country
great enough to feed and clothe anoth-
er nation almost as populous as our
own.
1t is therefore apparent that an ac-
curate census of irrigation is of great
Importance. The fact that its success
depends in some degree upon the irri-
gators themselves should awaken their
hearty interest in this work. Parties
owning canals and bitches who have
received no inquiries, are earnestly re-
quested to write to L. G. Powers, chief
statistician, in charge of agriculture,
ensus Office, Washington, d. c., and
blanks will be mailed to them at once.
The director asks that all to whom
these inquiries may come will answer
the same as fully and accurately as
possible, and promptly return them.

CANAL QUESTION SETTLED.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Lord Paunce-
fote has held a consultation with Hay,
closing up the arrangement for a con
vention between Great Britain and the
United States regarding the Isthmian
canal. The matter will be finally set
tied, and officers of the state depart
ment express their satisfaction hat ev-
cry important point sought to be gain
ed by this government was cheerfully
granted by England. The new con-
vention will amount to only a partial
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwcr
treaty. The arrangement which was
formally signed by Pauncefote and Hay
this morning, provides in substance,
as follows:
The United States is granted the right
to build and control exclusively the
waterway joining the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, and the provision of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, providing for joint con-
troll, Is annulled. The neutrality of the
canal is pledged by both of the sigma
tory parties, both in times of peace
and war.
The United States promises not to
build Notifications at either approach
of the canal, and to permit the free
passage Of ships at all times, both mer-
camille and war vessels.
Great maritime nations will be asked
to pledge themselves to a perseverance
Of the canals neutrality.
The agreement will be sent to con-
gress in a few days. 1t is thought that
this will hurry action in congress and
result in the early passage Of n Of
the two canal bills, the Hepburn bill
in the house, or the Morgan bill in the
senate.
Negotiations have been pending now
for more than a year, and the final
agreement is regarded here in diplo-
matte circles as q decided triumph for
Hay.
London, Feb. 5.-Diplomatists here
believe Lord Salisbury will not exact
a compensation for the abrogation Of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, his object
being to put the United States in the
position Of owing England a favor,
which obligation will have greater
value, especially at this time. than any
material quid pro quo.

ONE OF COUGHS PREPARATIONS.
Climax by Which the Noted Lecturer
Thrilled His Hearers.

Many and many a day ago, on the
then frontier line of the Valley of the
Minnesota, in the at that time beauti.
that Cough had been engaged by the
local lyceum bureau to lecture on tenn
perance, relates the Chicago Times
Herald. Cough anne. He was receiv-
ed by a committee of men who fought
Indians and 'sscesh,' swan rivers,
spoiled the virgin forests, opened new
soil, endured poverty, suffered hunger
and never surrendered their belief in
the right. They escorted him to the
opera house, and stage.
His speech was slow at first, gestures
few, illustrations not many. The viii
lage topers were out in force, and some
more decent men for whom women
were praying to give over the habit of
drink. He told something of his own
life, of the misery brought by drink,
of the laws of self-denial and self
sacrifice. He was intense at all times
and this intensity bore down upon lis
tener until he had made them one
with himself. Even the small village
boy inclined to cat calls and gurgling
whistles was silent, and there came
through the sepulchral hall no sound
but the raw cry of the winter wind from
outside.
He made some slight comment on the
condition of a drunkard's family-the
want which came upon them, the loss
of self-respect. He described the deg
radiation of spirit which rested with the
habitual drinker and how if that spirit
vas not destroyed mere signing of the
pledge would not redeem. He pleaded
for exercise of will power, more potent
in effecting reform than all the drugs
and medicines in the world. This was
but developing the minds of his hear
ers for a climax.
Suddenly he swung one arm high in
the air and shouted:
"a drunkard and his fall to the
depths of everlasting hell is like the
man who climbs to the top of St. Pet
er's in Rome. He in on the very sum-
nit of the great dome, the blue sky
above and the world far, far beneath.
He looks down from his perch, and
having nothing to grasp, to hold to,
grows dizzy.
Everything is whirling now before
him. His senses leave him. He
is swooning His feet slip. He
is off of the dome. He is in the air. He
is falling
Down!
Down!
Down!
ITO the earth beneath and the ruin
Of himself.
Thus descends the drunkard-
Down! Down! Down,
ITO the fires of hell and the ruiz of
his soul"
The whole exclamation was accom-
panied with such use of his right arm
and body as to bring the fearful de-
scent Immediately to the eye of the
mind.
A shudder ran over the audience. The
sobs of m were heard. Men felt
uncomfortable. Men and women are
living today who feel the power of that
illustration, uttered by lips long since
cold.
