sition on Peters Hill. Since Fridays

has been shelled at intervals, but
from early this morning the trenches
directly opposite the British front and
the Mex separating Peters Hill from

At 8 O'Clock this afternoon the bat

ordnance was in constant action. Gen
eral Barton led his command to the
extreme right and Col. Kitchener,
who had taken Wynnes' command,
stormed the center. The brigade I'M
der Colonel Northcoate attacked Rail-
way Hill. The infantry on the right
advanced over the hill forcing the
Beers into the Mex, while Col. kitch-
ener led his men ove Railway Hill,
meeting little opposition. The Beers
remained in the trenches from which
q terrible crossfre was sent during
Fridays fight. A few Of them escaped
to the next trench and hoisted a white
flag, which they waved vigorously.
Some prisoners were taken. The in
fantry then cheered and charged and
took Peters Hill with fixed bayonets.
Here they were met with a heavy
musketry fire.

AT q meeting last week Of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton in New York resolutions were
adopted calling upon Congress to
appoint a special committee to in
quire into the sudden advance in the
price of white paper, and asking for
remedial legislation thereon. Sew
sral bills are now before Congress
having in view the regulating of
trusts, but the one providing for re-
moving the tariff from all goods man
ufactured or controlled by trusts
was looked upon with the greatest
favor by the newspaper publishers.
Heretofore several Of these newspa-
per men have been daily extolling
the beauties of the protective tariff
sytem, and publishing long-winded
editorials to prove that the party
which favored . tariff for revenue
only was inviting ruin to the BUSH
ness interests of the country. Now,
with the trusts controlling nearly
every one of the staple products of
the country. a condition made posi-
BILE by the protective tariff, affairs
present a different aspect, and
through the goggles provided by
the paper trust. the newspaper men
are enabled to see that at least as far
as paper is concerned the tariff has
not proven q blessing. Verify. it
maketh Q difference whose OK is

Cronje's Surrender.

The inevitable has happened. The
gallant General Cronje with his small
force of between 5000 and 1000 men
has been compelled to surrender to
the enemy after CALAMITY defying
the British legion of between 40, 900
and $4,000 for ten days. 1t bad been
generally supposed that Cronje had
5000 men, but he surrendered less
than half that number to Lord Rob-
erts. What has become of the
remainder and also a number of
big guns which he is known to have
had is agitating the minds of the
British.
At about 3 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the British made a rush and
gained a position within eighty yards
of the Boer trenches, where they
intrenched themselves. This settled
the matter, and at daylight a letter
from General Cronje announced his
unconditional surrender. Later he
presented himself at Lord Roberts
camp and under escort he and his
entire command have been sent to
Cape Town as prisoners of war.
This does not end the wal by any
means, al it is learned that the Beers
