HOLDING BACK THE NEWS.

There is little news from the real theatre Of
war. and the press censor does not intend that
there shall be any for day or two.
The War Office has posted a bulletin from Colo
mel Kekewich recounting bombardment Of the
town on Thursday and small engagement on
the following day THE Times has a special
account Of the retirement Of fourteen hundred
refugees from the West Barkely district, where
they had refused TO fight on the Boer side, and
also estimate large Dutch losses at koodoosberg.
The most significant dispatch is a private one
received az Shrewsbury TO the effect that Zout-
pans Drift has been seized by the Scots Greys,
under General Elliott Wood. This drift lies
southeast Of Orange River Station, and is on the
road leading 10 Jacobsdal The Scots Greys will
naturally be with the cavalry force which Cen
eral French is expected to lead into the Free
State. This IS almost the only pointer indicating

MAY BE BREAK IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS

Louisville, KY, Feb 13,-The first sign of a
break in the Democratic lines was noticeable to-
day. 1t came in the shape of a resolution Of
fered by Senator Trplett providing that in ad-
Journing Thursday the Legislature name
Frankfort it's next meeting place. While no
action on the resolution was taken. 1t is believed
TO foreshadow a return of the Democratic Legis-
lature to the State Capitol soon, possibly by the
end Of the week. This action probably will be
taken when a report is received from the COM
mittee sent to Frankfort on conditions to the
presence about the Capitol of armed men and
TO the advsability Of resuming sessions at the
usual meeting place This is rendered more
likely as the detection occurred in the Senate
where the Democrats have bare working quo
rum Under the rules Senator Tripletts resolu-
tion lies over one day.
The Senate adjourned until tomorrow. The
House met at 1 O'Clock. bin was offered MAX
ing January T. Goebel's birthday legal holiday
in the State.

THE RETREAT AT RENsBURG.

The same tactics are employed by General
Clements at Rensburg. General French, with
a cavalry force. has disappeared from the scene
after drawing 2 large Dutch force across the
Orange River. Coles Kop and other British
positions around Colesberg have been abandoned
owing TO the pressure of this superior force, the
infantry battalions slowly falling back upon
Rensburg and IL is doubtful if General Glenn
ents will make strong stand there.
Skirmishing is constant and there has been
sharp fighting. but the British retirement was
orderly. and the forces are kept well together
and serve the purpose of protecting De Aar and
the Modder River line of communications from
flank attack. The special correspondents are
disappointed with the turn which the campaign
has taken in that quarter, and describe the re-
treat with some signs Of excitement. The
strategy which has misled the enemy and
brought about the Dutch concentration in that
quarter where an attack not under con-
temptation. IS regarded scientific by Lord
Roberts's admirers among the veterans here.

Butler may be expected either to concentrate
his attack upon that position to make

natural sequel TO the sham attack delivered for

 Wall, my boy, Webster has kinder dabbled in science, you know, ever since he got that janitorship up at the State university, and he writes me that up there they've discovered another thorn in the crown that's pressed on our brows, as Bryan tells the Pops, here abouts This time they've discovered that our great state has got to grappe with potato-bug that's become poison proof. It warnt so long ago that every farmer could go out in the morning with a bucket of Paris green and llght heart and a sprinkler and protect his patch. Every time a bug got dose or Paris green his little hands grew cold, his feet curled around his stomach, his tongue turned black and he was dead bug. Bug gradually, says Webster the constitution of successive geenratlons or green-fed bugs have become hardened to the poison, till at last the bugs are born

Nowadays bug wakes up dull and listless, with jumping nerves and gone feeling in the pit of its striped stomach, and hardly life enough to crawl to where the farmer has been sprinkling the morning poison But one sip makes a new bug of him, and he gallops merrly around the vines eating where he listeth. Webster, how ever, tells me that by next season it will be tatal to the bugs to stop using Paris green, now that they have come to lean so on it. It's like a man with the mor- phine habit-stop the drug and he is goner in horrible agony. Some morn- ing I am going to lie in bed till nine o'clock and let every bug in the patch have fatal paroxysm." m."-New Lippin- COtt

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
Makes a Striking Presentation OF
the Irrigation problem From a
National Standpoint

At one of the meetings OF the Nat
ional Irrigation confress. which recent
~ met in Chicago the following let
ter was read from Governor Roosevelt.
IL is we'll worth reading. especially in
view of the respective influence he
will have rs president of the senate.
Says the governor:
Il believe to the last point in the
vital necessity of storing the floods
and preserving h forests. specially
throughout plains and Rocky
Mountain regions. The problems of
the development of the greater west is
in large part a problem OF irrigation. I
earnestly believe in the national gov
eminent giving generous aid to the
movement. for II is not possible and IL
il were possible il would not be wise
to have this storage work done mere
ly through private ownership. and ow-
ing to the peculiar necessities of the
case. much of the work must be done
by the national and not by the any
state government Moreover. tits not
only necessary to establish a greater
system of storage reservoirs to prevent
the Hood waste OF the waters: Is is al
so necessary to preserve the forests on
the mountains and among h foothills.
This means that, in the first place.
there must be a wide extension of the
existing system of forest reserves. and
in the second place hat these forests
reserves must De managed Alright.

CHURCH MEMBERS
In Denver Le>d the March To the
Back Door OF the Sunday Saloon

The battle against vice. says the
Denver Times. is on and the moral
thousands of Denver are lined up for
the fight.
Yesterday afternoon Trinity church
was crowded to the doors with citizens
who are willing to lend their assist
ance to the move inaugurated by the
ministers to compel the fire and po-
lice board and the legally constituted
authorities of the city to enforce the
law.
DR.. Cobern handled the subject with
out gloves. Referring to gambling he
said:
II want this to he a practical indig-
nation meeting. With "A gambling
house so near that l could stand on
the front steps of Trinity and throw
a biscuit into the door. and with fifty
four others running full blast in the
city. with saloons running all the time,
I think il should be something more
than wind that we put against the evil.
If il is a wind it should be the hurri-
cane.
w know the conditions and our
crimes are such that we want an en-
forcement against gambling lens and
saloons Since the sentiment should
stay back of them. We have called
you here to express yourselves
Parson Eell was called from the
audience and in his characteris,.c
style proceeded to tell the ruth about
the city authorities. He a his on
g~regation was growing smaller because
men and women were insulted by lewu
women as they passed along the street
to attend the meetings. Here is the
parsons version of the present system
of enforcing" the law:
One Sunday | saw n crowd of twelve
or thirteen men going into the bach
door of 4 saloon. | walked over and
saw that il was II of my own mem
bers that was leading them in.
N to God il was" the parson
repeated. turning o to the group
of ministers seated behind him and
indorsing his remarks at intervals
with a word or nod.
Il went on to fill my engagement
and when | came ack that way | sa "
another crowd going in and a police
IN n with his brass buttons and a clut
in full authority. | asked him if he
hadn't seen anything lately.
No. he replied. we are not en-
pected to see anything"
