New York Feb. 6.-Kid Broad of
Cleveland the featherweight pugilist
was unable tonight tosget better de-
cision than draw with Eddy Lenny of
Philadelphia. The boys met in a twen-
ty-round bout at 124 pounds at the Her.
cules Athletic club, Brooklyn. The con-
test was one of the fastest seen in the
arena. Before they put up their hands
Broad was twenty to one favorite, but
at the end of the third round even
money was the prevailing price. The
preliminary bout of twelve rounds at
124 pounds between Jerry Marshall, COL
ored, of Australia. and Fred Wright of
Peabody, Mass, went the limit. Mar
shall earned favorable decision.

Large Operations to That End Appnr-
emily Bsgin.

London, Feb. 6, a., m.--From the
western field of the campaigns in
South Africa there now come more
definite statements than from elsewhere
Large operations are apparently about
to begin. General French, who has now
returned to Rensburg from his confer
ence with Lord Roberts, has sent what
is described as an overwhelming force
Of infantry to seize Nor9aps Pont. This,
is where the railway, before it was de-
stroyed, crossed the Orange river and
connected with the Free State trunk
line to Bloemfontein.
NorvaPs Pont is nineteen miles north
of Colesberg and twenty-five miles
from General Frenchs headquarters at
Rensberg. The Beers at Colesberg have
been in danger of being surrounded by
the largely reinforced and extending
lines of the British. An occupation of
Norvaps Pont in force would presum-
ably render Colesberg untenabe The
Beers are showing great activity in
the Naauw Poort and Colesberg dis
tricts. Many OF the guns hitherto fac
ing Lord Methuen are believed to have
gone to Norval's Pont. The British,

STILL NO NEWS FROM RUELER.
War Office Again Declares 1t Canaos
Conffrm Reported Advance.

London, Feb. 6,-4 a. m.-Military
opinion in London continues to assume,
from very slender materials, that Cen
eral Butler is again throwing his
army against the Boer works. The
war office at midnight announced that
it had received no fresh news from the
seat of war for publication tonight
A retired general. Sir William Henry
Green, whose distinguished career gives
weight to his opinion, thinks that Cen
eral Butler, with $4,000 men is making
a wide detour to the west and north in
order to avoid the toughest parts of
the country. AS General Butler must
have some thousands of wagons, Sir
William Greene points out that the ad-
vance would necessarily be slow. No
authentic word is at hand, save that
the war office reaffirmed orally to news
naper inouirers at late hour that IT
could not confirm the reported ad-
vance There the Natal situation rests.

Earth Washed srom Beneath Tracks
Traffic Not DelDyed.

Shelton, Feb 5.-A washout ON the
tracks of the Berkshire division of the
Consolidated railroad occurred about
two and one-half miles north of here
this morning at what is known as Snake
creek. The earth had been washed
from beneath the track for distance
of about fifteen feet, but the track it.
self remained in place. The washout
was discovered by the section hands
shortly before IL o'clock The south
bound train passed the place about an
hour previously and apparently there
was nothing the matter then. A wreck
ing train was sent from New Haven
and the damage repaired so that there
was but little delay to traffic. The
washout was undoubtedly due to the
greatly swollen condition of the Housa-
tonic river.

THE MOLINEUx TRIAL.
Prosecution Finally Closes Its Case
Claims of the Defense


New York, Feb. 5.-To- day the state
rested in the trial of Roland B. Moli-
neux. This was something of a sur
prise, as it was generally thought that
Assistant Distriat Attorney Osborne
had enough witnesses ready to occupy
more than a day after the return of
Juror Mannheim Brown, who had been
suffering with rheumatism and who re-
appeared in court to-day. One witness
for the state, Detective McCafferty, was
i'll and was unable to/appear in court.
Recorder Goff, however, did not allow
another adjournment to give the state
time to produce this witness.
After the midday recess Mr.. Weeks,
for the defense, asked for an adjourn
ment until tomorrow, as he wished to
consult with his assistant, Mr.. Battle,
who is sick. This the court allowed, but
it is expected that the defense will com
mence tomorrow morning. The states
case closed without any of the pyro-
technics which have distinguished this
trial. Barlow S, Weeks, the leading
counsel for the defence, asserts that the
state has proven no part of the case and
he wiH undoubtedly file motion to dis
miss the trial because of lack of suffi-
cient evidence 1t is notSserioualy be-
lieved that the recorder will entertain
this motisn. In the event of the defense
introducing evidence Mr., Weeks says
that he does not expect to take up as
much time as the state has occupied. 1t
is not yet announced whether Molineux
and his wife will go on the stand for tha
defense. Both Molineux and his father,
General E. L. Molineux, express conf
dence of an acquittal.

an amendment declaring that the wal
should be prosecuted with vigor He
pressed for the publication of General
Sir William Buffers dispatches, saying:
TT is generally believed that Sir Will
liam Butler considered that in case OF
war no attempt should be made to pro-
tect Natal beyond the Tugela. If so,
the country is entitled to know"
Mr.. Balfour-"No, it is not" Mr.. Dill
Ion, continuing, said that the military
reputation of England was irreparably
ruined; that the Beers had established
claim to be free, and that no amount
of brute force could ever diminish their
CLAIMS.
WAR Questions Answered,
Preceding Mr.. Chamberlain's address
there was multiplicity Of war ques-
tions in the commons to-day. George
Wyndham, parliamentary under secre-
tary for the war office, said in answer
to a question that the government had
no sinformation regarding. the alleged
Shooting of Irish prisoners by orders OF
Colonel Baden-Powell and General
Lord Methuen. Answering another
question, MI. w SIuHalAh pelid tiN iPiiI
1sh artillery in South Africa was fully
up to the continental standard.
"A ]. Balfour, the government leader,
replying to William Redmond, Irish ma
tionalist, said the secretary of state for
the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, never
made any such announcement as the
one referred to by Mr.. Redmond, name
ly, that g triple alliance between Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many has been arrived at.
Debate ON aueen's spcech.
The debate on the address in reply
to the speech from the throne was then
resumed by Sir William Vernon Har-
court, liberal, who declared the war was
due to a reversal of the policy laid
down by the government in 1881 and
1896 Reviewing the negotiations, Sir
William said the great misfortune was
that the men consulted In regard to the
situation in South Africa were the
authors of the Jameson raid and the
"Helots of Park Lane Here Mr.
Chamberlain interjected: Does the
right honorable gentleman mean to as
sert that the persons to whom he refers
were consulted by the colonial offices
and that no others were consulted?'' The
liberal statesman parried the question.
He contended that though the war was
an unhappy business 1t must be fought
out to the bitter end.

THOUGHT TO BE BARTLEY MORAN
The Man Found Dead Ina West Haven
Yesterday.

TIE body of the man found near the
West Haven reservoir yesterday is
thought to be that of Bartley Moran, a
man who formerly lived in West Ha-
ven. Persons who knew Moran think
that the remains are his, but are not
certain of it. The body is that of a
man about thirty years of age with red
hair and sandy mustache. He was
found on the bank of reservoir by
George Hofer and was still alive when
first found, but died in a few minutes.
Medical Examiner Barnett of West Ha-
ven thinks that death was due to ex-
posure. There We're few scratches on
the face, but no marks to indicate that
his death had been due to violence. The
remains are at the, West Haven morgue

North Adams, Mass, Feb. 5.-To-day
was one great round of enthusiasm for
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, such
as he has not run into since he came
into New England. This is quite in
teresting from another standpoint than
his own, for he was the guest of Berk-
shire democrats and not many months
ago the county bubbled over with en-
thusiasm for President Mckinley when
he came here as a guest of William B.
Plunkett. To-day Colonel Bryan was
the guest of John Fl. Mack and he
made several very interesting addresses
topping them off with an impromptu
response full of wit at an evening BAN
uuet. Tomorrow will be his last day
in New England for a while.

members of the political conference held
tonight at Louisville.

Shortly after midnight the republican
and democratic conferees came to an
agreement. A. stenographer was sum-
moned and a document Is now being
drawn up for the signatures of the par

the agreement is decidedly favorable to
the democrats. Governor Taylor is to
withdraw the troops from the state

Again the Bulletins policy regarding

problems as may be presented previous
