Consider the Situation.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2t.--Again to-
day there were but three speeches In
the house upon the Puerto Rican tariff
bill. Five hours were consumed in
their delivery. Hopkins. Of Illinois,
spoke in support Of the bill. and New
lands. Of Nevada. and Swanson, Of vir-
ginia, In opposition to il.
The speakers devoted themselves al
most exclusively to the constitutional
question involved and were listened to
with attention.
The republican leaders are becoming
nervous over the fate Of the bill They
have only majority Of fourteen over
the opposition. which Is solidly op-
posed to the measure. Eight votes from
the republican side would therefore de-
feat 1t. and there are from twelve to
fifteen republican votes in doubt.
A movement for republican caucus
Is being agitated and. although no call
had been issued up to the time Of ad-
journment tonight. the general under
standing was that one would be held
tomorrow night.
The republicans reported to be op-
posed to the bill are Mccall. Of Massa-
chusetts, Littledeld. Of Maine. Powers,
Of Vermont. Tompkins. Of New York.

Beers Leave British Territory to
Concentrate Against Roberts.
CRONJE's CHASE GOES ON
Buller Reports the Enemys Depart
Hre From 10 Front Of Ladysmith
and SelOs May be Raised.

LONDON. Feb q. 4.l5 .. NTH,
Beers are leaving all the positions held
by them on British territory and are
concentrating for the defense Of their
own. Sir Redyers Butler thinks that
they are about to raise the seige Of
i.adysmith and this - the large news
OF the day
General Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been greatly
diminished Ten thousand men are es-
tlmated 20 haze gone from the Coles
berg district alone.
The Beers are also retracing their
steps from Zululand Thus they are
relaxing their hold on all sides In order
to assemble to oppose Lord Roberts.
He In pressing on steadily towards
Blocmfontein This Is shown by his
lnconsequental telegram from Paarde-
berg, fifty or sixty miles away.
Doubtless he is miles behind the col.
umn that Is pursuing the Beers and
the next important news may be the
occupation of Bloemfontein.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase OF cronje for two days. Although
the last words OF the war office to-
night were that there was no news for
publication. there Is a strong disposi-
ton TO believe that favorable informa-
tlon has been received, but is being
withheld until the operations culminatc
In something more conclusive. There
Ia an equally strong disposition to
think that General Cronje has got
away
owing 10 the lack OF transports the
British are not likely 10 invade the
Boer territory. except where Lord Rob

are retreatlng from him, then the news
on every side Is favorable To the Brit

go up. The war office thinks that the
call to veterans to Join the colors, to-
gether with the bounty. will bring as
900 men to the home defense. The ur-
gency with which the home defense is
pressed excites some wonder.
With the casualties just reported the
