commerce has 1nade an important
change in the Hepburn Nicaragua canal

The amendment was agreed to, not
without some expression of reluctance,
but with view to overcoming opposi.
ton and securing action.

PRETORIA, Monday, April s3.-An
official bulletin issued here says:
s'The federals continue their fighting
at Wepener, and have captured some
of General Brabant's cattle and horses.
General Dewet's losses at Dewets-

to Rush Dalgety's Position.
E LONDON, April 25.-The report that
the siege Of Wepener had been practi-
cally raised was apparently premature.
The Boer attack upon Colonel Dalgety's
northern position as described from
Maseru was probably final attempt to
rush the garrison before securing q safe
retreat, and as Colonel Dalgety success
fully repulsed the attack little further
anxiety is felt on his account.
Lord Roberts has spread net with
covering the whole west semi-circle to
the district of Wepener. The Seventh
division under General Tucker, assisted
by naval guns, has made demonstra-
ton from Karee Siding, the Beers
showing opposition. At the same time
a brigade moved out from Glen
to take up position on range
Of hills at Gennaadenale, north of the
Modder. The Beers can now only es-
cape, without risking an encounter,
northward to Ladybrand, and the
chance of successful outcome of the
plans Of Lord Roberts depends on
whether the British troops can reach
Thaba N'Chu and Ladybrand before the
retreating commanders from Dewets-
dorp and Wepener.
All the correspondents report that the
roads are in terrible condition, which
accounts for the slow progress of the
British columns, and if the Beers are as
well informed of the British plans as
they hitherto have been they are likely
again to escape.
1t is now within three weeks of the
date predicted for the British oocupa-
ton Of Pretoria, and, although the pres
ent operations, as suggested in some
quarters, may be the beginning of the
main advance, it is not certain they
will not entail a further halt at Bloem-
fontein.

MANILA, April 2S.-Last week has
been one Of the bloodiest of the war
since the first days fighting around
Manila. Authentic reports, mostly
official, show a total Of 37S Filippinos
killed, IL officers and 244 men captured

ber wounded is hardly guessable. It is
said that as the Pilippinos entirely lack
facilities q great majority of the wound
ed will die. Probably the weeks work

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Hon. NJ. 8.
Quay was refused seat in the United
States senate on the appointment Of the
governor Of Pennsylvania by a vote Of
SO to 80. The entire time of the senate
was devoted to debate upon the ques-
ton, many of the greatest lawyers and
orators in the body delivering speeches.
AS the days session wore on and the
hour for the final vote approached the
galleries gradually filed until they
were thronged with multitudes, while
other multitudes were unable to gain
admission. On the floor Of the senate
was every member Of the body now in
the city and scores Of members of the
house of representatives. The great
throng listened with deep attention to
the brilliant argument Of Mr.. Spooner
in favor Of the seating of the former
Pennsylvania senator and to the dra-
matte and fiery eloquence of Mr.. Daniel
(Va.), who appealed to his colleagues to
what on his oath as senator he deemed
right and vote to do justice to him
who was
Knocking at the Senate Door.
As the big clock opposite the presi.
dent pro tempore marked o'clock there
was hush in the chamber. Mr.. Frye,
in the chair, announced that the hour
for the final vote had arrived and the
question was the pending motion Of Mr..
Chandler to strike out of the motion
declaring Mr.. Quay not to be entitled
to a seat, the word 'not." Senators
throughout the chamber eagerly fol-
lowed the roll call for all knew the vote
would be close. The first sensation was
caused by the failure of Mr.. Pettigrew
of South Dakota to answer to his name,
although he was in his seat. When Mr..
Vests name was called he voted "no"
in clear, distinct voice, this dashing
the last hope of the friends of Mr.. Quay
who had expected confidently that the
distinguished Missourian would vote
for his long time personal friend. In
perfect silence it was announced that
the senate had denied Mr.. Quay tht
seat he has sought for some months
