Ladysmith Is Doomed.

Now York. Jan. 29.-There is CONNIE mt
in London on the discrepancy between
the Boer account of the recapture Of
spionkop and that sent by General Bull
Ter. The latter says not word about the
Beers scaling the hill and attacking the
British trenches and capturing $50 men
who had hoisted the white flag as at Ma
tuba hill. Instead he spoke of the main
tenance of the ''best traditions Of the
British army" There is not much doubt
that the Boer account is correct. 1t Is
by no means boastful.
1t is believed that the war ONCE has
further dispatches which it Is withhold
ing. For Gays nothing has been heard
from Lord Dundonald and his mounted
brigade and it is rumored that he has
been cut of on the upper Tugela. The
London military critics have given. up
hope of saving Ladysmith which is ;ln-
doubtedly shy of food and ammunition.
The garrison went on short rations De-
cember 2.
The Morning Leader says: "Will Lady
smith fall in consequence of. Buffers re-
tirement or in consequence of another
night attack by the victorious Boerss The
city has already held out its full time.
Its last communication across the Tugela
otherwise than by electric or sun flashing
was on November 2. last. 1t was then be-
lieved to have enough provision and am
munition for three months. The three
months are up next Friday. There has
been no chance during these months to
throw into the city q pound of food or a
pound Of cordite."

Mitchell, Of the London Standard, and
Stabb, Of the Times, of India, died OF
fever in one week. Ferrand, of the Trans

The London Daily Mail says: "The
richest and what was hitherto considered
the most powerful nation in the world
stands today in the humiliating position
OF seeing its armies beaten back with
heavy losses at the hands Of two small
states"

CAME TO NAUGHT.
BULLER'S CAMPAIGN IS CHECKED
AND LADYSMTTH CANNOT
HOLD OUT MUCH
LONGER.

New York, Jan. 29.-The Herald's mill
itary expert discussing the situation in
South Africa says: General Buffers flank
movement to reach Ladysmith has come
to naught. Repulsed in his first attempt
to cross the Tugela river by frontal at
tack at Colenso, he has now been COM
PEELED to give up his attempt to pass
around the left of the Boer line. His new
repulse may have been equally disastrous
in casualties and certainly must be more
damaging to his reputation for generals
ship and have greater effect on the issue
Of the Natal campaign. 3
After Sir George White had succeeded
in beating off the determined attack of
the Beers at Caesars camp Buffers new
plan became inevitable. His preparations
had been deliberate. but nothing was al
lowed to become known al to his real in-
tentions until he announced the seizure of
POtgieter's drift upon the upper Tugela,
and was getting his force across. Four
or five days followed in the course Of
which, General Lyttleton placed his bri-
gade on the north side of Potgieter's drift
ready to attack the Boer position at
Brakfontein. commanding the road to
Dewdrop. while General Warren was pre-
pairing to throw his division against the
extreme right of the long line of the
Beers. Warren had crossed at Trich-
ards drift, some five or six miles to the
west of Potgieter's drift. He had met
with more opposition. but his cavalry un-
der Lord Dundonald were apparently able
to reconnoiter for a considerable distance
In the direction Of Acton Homes working
round on Warren's far LETT.
So deliberate movement as that Of
General Buffers army permitted Of no
rash movement. General Joubert was at
the front with Generals Botha and Cron.

fronted by an immense army thrown
across his path. A long ridge ran four
miles to the northwest of Trichard's drift

Card from y Valley District Tax. PAYER.
There appeared in the Preston County
Journal Of March Sh, 1900. an article
above the name Of the Hon. George c.
Siurgiss, headed "Right," setting forth
that the collection of the interest ON the
Railroad Bonds in advance Of the issue Of
said bonds was right. Now the fact IS.
do not know what right or wrong is from
lawyer standpoint, but from my point Of
view Il looks more like wrong to collect in
terest oil Of the tax payers, where there IS
nothing 10 collect on nor no consideration.
and put the money in the hands Of the
sheriff, for that much underpaid official 10
speculate on for year or two. Tie decla-
ration was made in public speeches that the
taxpayers should no, be called upon to pay
one dollar until one mile of the road was
built and equipped. then one bond would be
issued. Then for the second mile and the
second bond and so on until the appropria-
ton was exhausted. That was the under
standing the voters had when they voted for
the bonds, and now quite number are sick
Of their vote The fact is the majority that
voted for the bonds did not know that that
interest clause was in the courts order and
wond not yield TIE point until the sheriff
called 10 collect IL. That would have been
more Ike right if there u any rgh, in the
whole Transaction, which ! fail 10 see.
The election Of 1900. when Lincoln was
elected, the southcrnQf said we wifi not
abide by the majority. we will fight. and
fight they did as some very we'll remember.
and have something to remind them Of the
fact every time a muscle moves.
