SAVINGS FUND INTEREST.
Pennsylvania Road Finds It Cannot
Pay Four Percent.

New York, March S.-The Pennsyl-
vania railroad company has announced
that the rate of interest paid to the
depositors in the employees savings
fund viii be reduced from 4 per cent. to
31a per cent, the reduction to take effect
on the first of next July.
The company states that the amount
in this fund, S2,716, 35668 was invested
last year in securities bearing interest
at an average rate of nearly 4 per cent,
but that in consequence of the steady
drain in the rates of interest on first
class securities. the reduction in the
rate of interest paid to depositors has
now become necessary.
This step is similar to that taken by
the large life insurance companies in
changing their reserve held on policies
from a. 81 per cent basis to a 8 per
cent. basis. Very few life insurance
companies still maintain their reserve
on the old 4 per cent. basis, because
of the gradual decrease in the interest
account of their investments.

It is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany IN. "
dairyman called at a drug store there for
a doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in. he left word for him to come
at once on his return. He also bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor need
not come. as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz. says the
family has since recommended Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to their nefghbors
and friends until he has a constant de-
mand for it from that part of the coun-
try. For sale by all druggists.

it became necessary last year to make

the law, to build one new school house

would bring in $4,000, enough to do
this but as only a portion of the people

board had to stamp $4,000 of these war

MINISTER OF WAR MEANS-HE WILL.
SUCCEED TO THE PRESIDENCY

City Of Mexico. Jan. 2S (SpeciaD.-The gazet-
ting OF General Bernardo Reyes to be Minister of
war is only the carrying out of plan long en-
tertained by President Daz of providing for the
succession and retiring himself from active par
ticlpation in public affairs 1t has been known
in exclusive circles here for some years that
President Diaz regarded General Reyes as his
understudy. While Limantour stood pre-emi-

Mariscal commands unbounded confidence in
foreign affairs at his department there centres
In General Reyes more of the varied elements
which enter into the ideal executive than is to
be found in any other prominent Mexican. Be

of Nueva de Leone. he also possesses the military
spirit necessary in the eyes OF the people of
this republic.

really to be only temporary term in the Presi-

Minister of War is to make him really the per-
sonal representative Of the President and COM

GENERAL BULLER'S STORY
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE OPERATIONS
NORTH OF THE TUGELA.

London Jan. 28-The following is the text Of
General Buffers dispatch, dated spearman's
Camp, Saturday, January q. 6:1O p m.:
On January 20 Warren drove back the enemy
and obtained possession of the southern crests
of the high tableland extending from the line
Of Acton Homes and Honger's Poort to the
Western Ladysmith hills. From then to Janu-
ary 70 ne remained in close contact with the
enemy.
The enemy held strong position on range
of small kopjes stretching from northwest to
southeast across the plateau from Acton Homes
through Spion Kop, to the left bank of the
Tugela.
The actual position held was perfectly tenable
but did not lend itself to an advance, as the
southern slopes were so steep that Warren could
not get an effective artillery position and water
supply was a difficulty.
On January % L assented to his attacking
Spion KOp. large hil-indeed a mountain
which was evidently the key of the position,
put was far more accessible from the north
than from the south.
On the night of January % he attacked Spion
Kop, but found 1T very difficult TO hold its
perimeter was too large and water which he
had been led to believe existed in this extraor-
dlnar1y dry season. found very deficient
The crestS were held all that day against
severe attacks and a heavy shell fire. Our men
fought with great gallantry. Would especially
mention the conduct of the I'd Cameronians and
the Sd Kings Rifles who supported the attack
on the mountain from the steepest side and in
each case fought their way to the top, and the
I'd Lancashire Fusiliers and I'd Middlesex, who
magniticently maintained the best traditions Of
Ine 6rlIlSn army throughout the trying day OF
January "a. and Thornycroft's Mounted In
fantry, who fought throughout the day equally
well alongside of them.
General Woodgate, who was in command at
the summit, having been wounded. the officer
who succeeded him decided the night Of
January "a to abandon the position and did
so before dawn, January %.
l reached Warren's camp at a. m on Janu-
ary % and decided that a second attack upon
Splon Kop was useless and that the enemy's
right was too strong to allow me to force it.
Accordingly. decided to withdraw the force
to the south of the Tugela- At s a. m. we com
menced Withdrawing the train. and by a. m
January y Saturday. Warren's force was con-
centrated south of the TUgela without the loss
of a man or pound of stores
The fact that the force could withdraw from
actual touch-in some cases the lines were less
than thousand yards apart-wtth the enemy
in the manner it did is. I think sufficient evil
dence Of the morale of the troops; and that we
were permitted to withdraw our cumbrous OK
and mule transport across the river eighty-dve
yards broad with twenty-foot banks and a
very swift current, unmolested, is think proof
that the enemy has been taught to respect our
soldiers fighting powers.
