NOTHING TOO GOOD ron CANADA

London. Feb %. Nothing is too
good for Canada in Britain today.
Chamberlain has cabled to Lord Mimic
as follows: Her Majesty the queen
desires you to express to the people or
the Dominion her admiration Of the
gallant conduct Of her Canadian troops
III the late engagement and her sorrow
at the loss 81 sc many brave men.
After advising the continuance OF
the war preparations, The Times con-
cludes rs follows: But If anything
could enhance the intense and wide
spread satisfaction OF the nation at the
achievements Of our troops it IS the
knowledge that the Canadian con-
tingent played the principal part in
the decisive movement which forced
the stubborn Boer leader to own that
he was beaten
The Daily News says: ITO the
Canadians belongs the honor Of hay
ing fastened the inevitable. It would
be rash, however, to suppose that the
Beers will sue for peace or that all our
difficulties are removed
The war office has received a dis
patch from Lord Roberts stating that

Canadian contingent on the enemy's
trenches Tuesday morning before the
surrender Of Cronje Major Pellemier

and Twenty-Five men were wounded.
REPORT rRoM WINSTON CHURCHILL
Seems to Deny That Groblers Kloof Was
Observation-Disclosures Criticism.
London, Feb. 27.-Winston Church
i'll, in a dispatch to The Morning Post
from Frera camp, dated Sunday, says:
'The idea that the Beers are raising
the siege Of Ladysmith is premature.
The advance is being pursued in the
lace Oh the most STUBBORN OppOSlLlOu
and of heavy loss. President Kruger's
grandson is among the Beers killed.
Churchill then proceeds to describe
heavy fighting last Friday in which
the Inniskillings approached within
500 yards Of the summit OF a rocky
Boer position, and then CALAMITY
charged in the face of hail of bull
let's.
He says: after repeated attempts,
however, and having lost heavily, they
recognized that they were unable to
prevail Nevertheless they refused to
retreat but lay down on the lope be-
hind q shelter of walls. The Con
naughts and the Dublin Fusiliers were
sent to their support, but the light
faded and the night closed in before
the main attack had developed"
Spenser Wilkinson's article in The
Morning Post is almost wholly devoted
to criticism of General Buffers mis-
taken" tactics in sending small forces
to take positions and then reinforcing
these by details, as revealed in the
dispatch from Winston Churchill.
Wilkinson admits, however, that
Churchills advices are too incomplete
to enable a correct idea to be formed,
since his dispatch breaks off in the
middle, leaving the battle unfinished.

nected with the building OF the new
church.
The new uilding has cost $4,000; Of
this amount the trustees Of the church
only guaranteed payment in the aggre-
gate of $4,000. 1t was then that Rev.
Malkowski started to raise the de-
ficiency through private subscriptions.
The success Of his undertaking was
made known to the bishop by letter Fri
day night, but his answer showed that
he had made up his mind to teach st.
Johns church congregation a forcible
lesson and proclaim his authority.

opposing that policy when president of the
Police Department which effectually prevented

that when the citizens of New-York realized

Gnr TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE. !

Ell
Washington, March 16.-The Senate will prob
ably reach a final vote the Quay within
the next five six weeks. Mr.. Hoar found no
body disposed this morning TO quarrel with
his suggestion that the resolution of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, denying
Mr. Quay's right to seat be disposed Of
after reasonable debate. On Tuesday, April

tion is not to interfere, with appropriation bills
or conference reports, with Puerto Ricaa legis-
lation. or with the Spooner bill ccnferring au-
thority on the President to institute tenn
porary form of government in the Philippines
A new decision the validity of recess ap-
pointments is therefore to be expected about

Mr.. Gallinger who yesterday had some hot
words with Mr.. Penrose. said he had been as
founded at the charge that those who were op-
posed to the seating of Mr.. Quay were employing
parliamentary tactics to Obstruct vote the
case. He pointed out that ever since the case
had been before the Senate bills in charge OF
Senators favorable to Mr.. Quay had been under
consideration by the Senate. I'm manner"
said he, has single Senator opposed to the
seating of Mr. Quay laid any obstacle in the

Senate need not delay that vote for single
minute on my account | shall not object. I'll
vote my convictions by voting against the seat
ing of Mr. Quay"
The order proposed by Mr.. Hoar was then
agreed to by unanimous consent

was depicted not long ago as half humorousy, half
seriously lamenting the futiity of his efforts to
bag an office or two about Washington for even the
most patiently deserving of his many million New
York constituents. The case in which ne took this
temporary failure most to heart was that of Mrs
Bill Anthony. the widow of the sergeant of
marines who announced the blowing up of the
Maine Captain Sigsbee on the night of that
memorable disaster in Havana Harbor. Mr.
Depew was not to be discouraged in well doing
however and In spite of several setbacks continued
to urge the appointment of Sergeant Anthony's
dependent widow minor place in the Gov
ernment service. To-day these efforts bore tardy
but the less gratifying fruit, Mrs. Anthony re-
ceiving cerkshp in the Census Bureau at a sal
ary of $50 a month. In announcing the appointment
Director Merriam wrote to Mr. Depew as follows:
You will recall that have had some CORE
spondence concerning the application OF Mrs Adella
NJ. Anthony for clerical position In the Census
Office. Mrs. Anthony examined to-day and
passed most creditably; Inasmuch as you have
shown special interest in this application. l take

The District Attorney would not talk to reporters
yesterday about his exclusion from the Grand
Jury room Thursday. but OF his assistants
said Mr.. Gardiner would be obliged to submit to the
Recorders ruling because there no form OF
appeal from il. The only hope of reversing that
ruling lay, this assistant said in the possible plea
by some indicted person that his indictment ought
to be quashed as irregular and invalid. because the
District Attorney had been excluded from the
Grand Jury room when the evidence being
heard upon which the indictment found. Some
court might recognize this plea as valid, and the
Recorder might then alter his view of the District
