CHINESE COOKING,

Second only to the French are the
Chinese when it comes to culinary
skill, and with simple materials they
will contrive to put together a meal
which would shame an ordinary Amer

all large establishments the cooks are
invariably men.

 Warm Debate. LETTER FROM SCHURMAN House Passes Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation Bill Substan-
 tially as It Game From
 the Committee

Wasr1inngtcn February "A lively tilt be- tween Mr Depew and Mir. Pettigrew was the feature of the early proceedings of the senate today. MT. De2ew read letter from President Se(lurman of the Philippine commission fatly contradicting statements made by MT. Petugrew in a speech sev- eral days ago, and then commented caustic- ally upon the methods of the South Da- kota senator in introduclng the evidence of suoll men as President Schurman and Admiral Dewey through the statements of reiterat!ng the statements which had called forth the denials of both President Schur- man and Admiral Dewey. Discussion of the financial bill was re- sumed, speeches being made by MT. Fur ner, Mir. Bate and MT. Allen, all in opposi- tion to the pending measure.
 The letter from MT. Schurman is as fol- lows:
 .'Ithaca, N. Y, February 1. 19oo Dear Senator Depew:

ALL FORCES ACTIVE
General Butler Has Gained a Footing At
 ter Severe Fighting

London, February S.-4 a. m.-The Brit ish columns are putting themselves in mo- tion in all parts of the South African war field. combined attack upon the Boers appears to be in progress. General Butler has gained a footing on the plateau north of the Tugela after two days hard fight Ing.
 On 4he far western border Lord Methuen has begun a turning movement against the Boer right, while General Macdonald threatens the Boer flank thus relieving the pressure on Lord Methuen's front
 Lord Roberts, who, according to an an- dormant in close touch with the war office, is in the middle of the theater of war, has beguna the march on BloemfonteEn.
 The Boers have taken the initiative against General Gatacre attacking two of his positions at Sterkstroom.
 It really looks as though the general for ward movement so long talked of were in progress. General Buffers third attempt at relieving Ladysmith absorbs attention. Telegrams of from 100 to 200 words from dozen correspondents have been passed by the censor, who has apparently related messages written Monday or Tuesday to Wednesday at 6 p. m. From these 1t Is clear that General Butler, up to Tuesday evening, had taken one hill, had repulsed a Boer counter attack and was holding the position again an enfilading fire from Spion Kop and Doormkloof. His losses, as men, tloned by one correspondent. are 250.
 One Attempt Failed
 The only te1egrams from Boer sources assert that one of General Buffers attempts to see the lords failed; but they admit that he has lodged forces on one kopje.
 Light on General Buffers operations ceases here, the war office not contributing any information.
 Three thousand more British militia have been ordered to prepare for authorization The old guns at the various coast defenses are being replaced with modern naval guns The government Is preparing plan to be submitted to parliament for the conversion of the yeomanry volunteers and militia into

Spearsman's Camp, Wednesday, February 7.-6 D. m.-General Butler commenced the advance for the relief of Ladysmith Mon day The naval guns opened at In the morning and feint attack vas made in front of our position. Three hatsalions advanced toward Brakefontein with six batteries. At ii o'clock the Boers opened with artillery fire and sent several shells among the British infantry, who retired an hour later. Meanwhile a vigorous att tack was made on Ithe extreme right, where the engineers expedftiously constructed a position. Several pieces of cannon, hidden among the trees on Sewat's Kop, bonn barded heavily. The British infantry ad- vanced and the Beers were entirely sur prised.
 At o'clock a. high Glill, a continuation of the Brakefontein, had been taken. The operations were excellently planned The name of the hin taken Is KraTtz Kloof.
 The bombardment of the Boer position was resumed this morning. The Boers worked disappearing cannon from the high Door Kloof range on the right of the captured hill; but the English shells ex- ploded its magazine and tine gun was put out of action until late in the day. Mus ketry fire was intermittent until the after Eoon, when the Boers made a determined effort to ret take the hill.

London, February S.-The Standard has the following from Spearman's camp, dated February T:
 1.-The force under General Butler Is again advancing to the relief of Ladysmith, and , after two days of severe fighting it may be said to nave made a good first step on the road to the besieged town.
 T. "The movement was begun at an early hour Monday morning by way of Potgie- ters drift. The eleventh brigade, a part of the fifth division under General War ren, made a feint attack upon the kopjes Immediately on our front. The assault was delivered at the outset under cover of 2. naval guns on Mount Alice, and suIbse- quently under that of field batteries. The infantry advanced steadily toward the 5 Boer entrenched position at Prakfontein, and kept the enemy busily employed z, While this diversion was being made the remainder of the infantry told off for the attack, who had bivouacked Sunday night under Mount Alice, moved along at the foot of Zwart's kop in the direction of our right.
 "A pontoon bridge was thrown across the Tugela by the English under the fire of the enemy. The first battalion to move across in the forenoon was the Durham light in- fantry of General Lyttleton's brigade. They advanced against Valkrantz, which lies on the most direct road to Ladysmtth, and after two hours splendid work they got within charging distance of the Boers.
 - The First Kopie Carried
 ...The first of the kopjes was carried by them at the point of the bayonet by the ut most gallantry. Almost simultaneously the brigade cleared he second kopje, and after moving across the long ridge, they biv- ouacked on the spot. At this time the Tenth brigade fell back to the river. In the course Of operation both the infantry and the ar tillery had been subjected to severe shell fire, o.
 ':Yesterday (Tuesday) at o'clock in the afternoon the enemy, encouraged doubtless by their success at Spion Kop, endeavored the, reoapture the position taken by us at Valkrantz. They were beaten back with
 "tThe work accomplished so far has been magnifcently done The shell and maxim fire poured in by the Boers has been ex- tremely severe, but our losses are, com- paratively speaking, small.
 'rhe Durham light infantry took a few prisoners in the course of their charges.
 "The enemy, as usual, fought with utmost stubbornness. The British maneuvering and the accuracy of aim on the part of the British artillery during the fighting on Mon- day were beyond praise. There is not the slightest likelihood that the Boers will suc- ceed in dislodging us from the positions we have gained. and the prospects of the relief of Ladysmith are hopeful"

Selecting senators by the People

Washington, February IA minority re- port has been made to the house in the bill for the selection of senators by the people It concurs with the principle of the bill, but urges d.rect elections without awaiting legislative approval for change of the system as proposed by the majority. The report states that ulere is a wide- spread public demand for the election of senators. in part impelled by sense of righteous indignation aroused by accusa- tions of alleged methods sometimes em- ployed by gentlemen whose ambitions lead them to seek seat in the United States senate,"

New York, February 7.-Mr Bryan spoke tonight in Carnegie Music Hall on Pend ing Problems" under the auspices of Win field Scott Hancock post, G. A.

With the hope of filling the Iblg hall, those in the galleries were in viteC down stairs Stfn there were empty seats in the auditorium, and the three gall leries were vacant. There was enthusia sm. however, notwithstanding the smallness of the audience. Mir Bryan entered the hall escorted by e>-Governor Hogg, O. H. P. Belmont and Tom l.. Johnston. Among those wf1o sent regrets were Admiral Dewey, Generals Miles and Merritt and Rev Dr. Parkhurst, Congressman Amos J. Cummings and National Commander AL bert E. Shaw, of the G. A. R.
 MT. Bryan said in part:
 I've passed through great war from 1861 to 1885, The greatest, may say, in the history of the world; greater in re- spect to the numbers engaged on both sides than any war in previous history In wars of conquest, the stronger has always dom- mated the weaker. But the civil war was greater than all the wars that preceded it, because the soldiers of the south are now glad that the Union was preserved and the republic was saved. That war eliminated the one cord of discord and made it possible that never again will we try to disturb the Union. I believe there is an honest rivalry between the sons of men who wore the blue and those of the men who wore the gray to see who will do the most for the country.
 Mir. Bryan then went into discussion of taxation and closed by reiterating his belief in the benefits to be derived from an income tax>law.

London Is Very Anxions

London, Ky, February 7.-The paramount question in London tonight is what will be the outcome of the London session of the Kentucky legislature. Since early morning ', mors were circulated consistently that Governor Taylor had signed the confer enoe agreement, and that the legislature would be recalled from here. The greatest excitement was thereby created in the ho- tels aal in the streets The legislators de- clared themselves firm in the belief that t.Ie Tumors were false. The citizens of Loc1on discussed tine matter in groups. The nu,iority here Is strongly>repluoGca can, and they believe that Governor Taylor shou'F' hold out firmly against making any concession.
 Later in the day a telegram was re- ceiyed from Frankfort saying Governor Taylor still maintained his attitude and had not signed the agreement This burst the bubble of anxiety, and messages were sent by the senators and representatives urging Governor Taylor to remain firm, and under no circumstances to attach his sig nature to the conference agreement.
 The session of each house of the legisa- ture was brief, and the rain kept away most of the spectators.
 A esergeant-at-ar was elected in each branch in the house, door keeper and four pages were chosen. This practically constituted the days business. There are now fifty-two legislators, fourteen in the senate and thirty-eight in the house. There was much interest manifested tonight to know what sthe senate proposed O do to- The senators did not give the slightest ink ling of what may transpire.
