accident occurred little before noon. The coach
man was driving up Sixth-ave., when at Four
teenth-st the team became frightened
They dashed forward and plunged wildly, and
Chds lost all control of the animals. They
swerved across the street and into a de-
livery wagon. Childs was dashed to the street and
lost his grip on the lines. The horses plunged and
struggled for instant, and then freed themselves
and gaoped up the avenue

STATEMENT BY MR.. WEBB.

Boston, Jan. 24-Dr W. Seward Webb, one OF

times in newspapers. by Boston ana MA MaiI ioua the

FRAGMENTS OF WAR NEWS.

London jan 24-The extreme tension caused
by what may justly be designated the most anx-
fous pause since the war began was hardly re-
Ieved by the daily Stock Exchange rumor
which to-day happened to have been started
by the bulls, who asserted that General Warren
had captured Spion Kop.
Commenting on Captain Mahan's attitude
1.-The St. James's Gazette" to-day remarks:
His advice is good and needed in America.
While strict neutrality is maintained in the Of
dciai world and goodwill for England is felt
the public OF this country to suggest, as some
correspondents doing, that antagonsm 10
England is confined to a negligible minority of
Americans. The sympathy of America as a
whole is a matter Of fact, no more with Eng
land at this moment than was our popular sym
pathy with them at the outbreak of the war
with Spain, and the contrast of official and
popular attitudes is no less marked in the United
States than il is in Germany
The secretary of the British South Africa
Company has given out q curious denial of
statement that the company is purchasing large
quantities of rifles and saddlery for prompt de-
livery in South Africa. He admits the pur-
chases, says they We're made by himself in his
private capacity, but adds that they were only
for the equipment of the Imperial yeomanry
There was a growing impression that the COM
pany was concerned in the purchase.

KITCHENER'S DEPARTURE FROM EGYPT.

The latest correspondence from Alexandra and
Cairo give some interesting and significant partcu
lars relating to the departure of Lord Kitchener
from Egypt for the Transvaal. 1t is already known
that he left Alexandria at the end Of December
board the cruiser Isis for Malta, and thence to
Gibraltar, where he embarked the transport
which had board General Roberts. The Sirdar,
Lord Kitchener was at KhartC I'm when he re-
ceiyed the Queens order to go to the Transvaal.
He started Immediately. and thanks to the rail-
road which he had caused to be built and which
proved of such great assistance in his final victory
over Mahdi. 1t took only seventy-four hours for
Lord Kitchener to go from Khartoum to Alexan-
dria 1t must be said however that the trip
would be longer for tourists and other common
travellers The Sirdar made the journey under ex-
ceptonal conditions his train stopping only to get
water for the locomotive and for repairs 10
the engine.
This delay prevented Lord Kitchener from calling
upon the Khedive, who at that time in his
palace OF Montazals. near Alexandria But the
Sirdar sent before enbarking a telegram conveying
the Khedve his regret for not presenting IN per-
son his farewell compliments. The Khedive an
swered Immediately with a dispatch. which was
handed to Lord Kitchener on the deck OF the Isis.
just before the cruiser weighed anchor. Moreover.
at the absention Of the sirdar the Khedive sent
one Of his aides de camp to express 70 Lord hitch-
the campaign which he was going TO undertake.
Egyptian people know that, the sirdar being sum
moned TO other functions the Khedive had at
rendered 10 his army and people by the conquest
