That the mayor was much disgusted
was only too manifest by the tone in
which he spoke.

Cook declared that the proposition TO

THE FINANCIAL BILL.
Senator Elklns Favors the General Bill.
But Argues Against One Section.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-More than
usual interest was manifested today in
the senate debate on the financial bill.
1t was known that the opening day Of
the last day Of the financial discussion
was to be marked by the delivery Of at
least three speeches by Wolcott
(Colo.), Butler, IN. O., and Elklns
wv. Va.), and in addition to a large
attendance Of senator's, the public gall
leries were well filed.
Aliens resolution, introduced last Sat-
urday, expressing sympathy with the
Beers, went over without losing It's
place.
Discussing the financial bill Senator
Wolcott, (rep.), Of Colorado, said:
II rejoice to say that there is a radi-
cal change taking place, not only in
Colorado, but in all the far Northwest
ern states. Our people are tired Of
hearing only the gospel Of hate and
sectionallsm; we don't pay as much at
tention as we formerly did to the
prophets Of despair and doom who are

tiles have flown over us or burst IN the
town, yet the number Of persons killed
or injured by the shells only amounts
to about half dozen.
I'VE heard much in London about
the precise workmanship OF the Boer,

subject and everybody who knew moth
ing about the burgher said that he
never pulled the trigger without killing

drawing around MSfeking has shown
how mwise Il Is 30 be too cooS.sure.
In the aght ON the Ramathlabama
road the enemy was terribly punished
aud our loss was slight; In every
scrap We have had with them since
the same lesson has been repeated"
The loss suffered by General French
at Cnlesburg. when the Suirolks were
cut up, is matter OF general comment
for all correspondents. The Daily Tele.
graphs correspondent at Cape Town
says;
General French, who was not pres
ent, and who has hitherto displayed so
much caution. win feel this reverse
acutely Only the other day he re-
proved the Tenth Hussars for having
incautiously' approached dangerous

Quate object to be gained"
The Natal Witness relates that after
the battle oS ColensO Boer soldier
came upon the corpse OF private OF
the Connaught rangers. He had
stripped II Of valuables when his eye
fell upon cruciflx suspended around
the brave fellows neck. Intently the
turgher gazed on the emblem and then
hastily replaced the booty he had an

smith, Lord Wolseley, during the ilrst
month Of the war. had one comment
to repeat to his friends. and that was:
White has only to stay still and wait
for Butler TO begin his march" These
were Aldershot conceptions based upon
peace training, without reference to the
realities Of military defense and actual
warfare with the Beers. Sir Redvcrs
Butler abandoned his plan OF campaign
when he reached South Africa. substi-
tuted a march to Modder river for the
Bloemfontein-P Pretoria parade, and ar
ter dragging the bulk of the army
corps and Warren's division into Natal.
PUT 1000 men out OF action In two un-
successful attempts for the relief OF
Ladysmith.
Lord Methuen's attack upon Magers-
fonteln, in which the Highland brigade
advanced in column formation, was
planned as sham fight would have
been on Salisbury plain. without
thought Of an actual hostile force any
Wnere IN the neld.
Colonel Longs recklessness in carry
ing his guns beyond the reach Of his
supporting infantry was a sham battle
maneuver which would have brought
upon him reprimand even at Alder
shot There have been feint attacks,
reconnaissance in force. column for
nations and drill book tactics from the
beginning TO the end OF the campaign
and the generals have never seemed
70 realize that they were not maneuv-
ering on Salisbury plain, but were
leading men under fire in battle with
the Beers.
II is impossible for Americans, who
remember the training OF their own
civil war to think Of soldiers like Grant
and Lee attacking strongly iatrenched
positions and conducting turning move
ments after the manner OF Lord Me-
theun and General Butler. They would
not have fought three battles without
scouting or reconnaissance as Lord
Methuen did. and then have flung their
army against a strong position like
Magersfontein in frontal attack
where the resistance was greatest
without an attempt at maneuverlng;
and If defeated they would not have
remained idle in camp for weeks wait
ing for reinforcements which were not
In reserve. They would not have re-
treated from Colenso or splonkop after
single futile attack but would have
dug their way up to the enemy's posi-
tions, making closer maps day by day
and gradually enveloping them and
rendering them untenable. The Brit
ish staff has allowed the Dutch to do
all the maneuvering and all the digging
and to choose every battlefield and de-
fensive position; and when there is an
innpasse 1t orders the troops back 10
camp to play football and cricket until
there are reinforcements for another
frontal attack. II is Aldershot general
ship that has brought reproach on
England and created a crisis In the
fortunes Of the enDire.

and commisserating with them upor
their unfortunate predicament.
"The Beers have been repulsed fol
seven weeks and without the walls Of
Mafeking an almost impregnable de.
fence has been constructed. Our owr
defenders are armed with Snyder-En.
fields, a few Martins, and a still less
number Of Lee Metfords. These are
the more material elements of our de-
fences and to them may be added the
strength of the protectorate regiment
the Bechuanaland rifles, and the ma
tive contingent, numbering with the
town guard some 800 men. Against this
we must place an enemy whose tactics
are surprising everybody, whose artil-
lery fire is admirable, whose guns are
numerous and first-class. They stand
off five miles and shell the town with
perfect safety, while under cover of
their fire they protect their advanced
trenches daily few feet nearer the
town. We have endeavored with our
artillery and by night sorties to check
their progress but the sapping of Ma
feking continues and is at once a very
serious, if not our sole danger. Should
their trenches advance much further It
will be impossible to move about dur
ing the daytime at all, and, although
we have thrown up bales of compressed
hay and sacks Of oats to act as shields
against the enemy's bullets and flying
splinters Of passing shells there is no
hour in the lay in which the streets of
the town are not sprayed by Mauser
bullets. 1t is not possible for US to ad-
vance very far from our lines, since the
Beers would attempt to rush the
town. Yet there is no doubt that such
a movement would be very welcome.

After Hot Wrangle.
SENSATIONAL COUNCIL SESSION
An Absurd Attack on appointment of
DR., Henderson Throws Council
in Turmoil.

A meeting. hot and racy. was held
last night by the city council. In heat
Of argument and force OF assertion 1t
probably surpassed the record of all
past conclaves Of that august body.
The session was held in pursuance to
adjournment of a special meeting held
last Saturday night for the purpose Of
appointing a city physician and taking
measures toward stamping out the
smallpox, with which a patient is now
suffering in the city. At Saturdays
meeting a motion was passed appoint
ing DR.. Henderson city physician, but
the contract and ordinance had not
been drawn up and Monday night was
set for the time in which to take final
action
Last nights session opened up on
motion to suspend the rules and pass
the ordinance. Upon this motion Brix,
Cock, Hansen and Utzinger voted in
favor and Parker, Scherneckau, Sven
sen and Agren against

self. declaring that he fully expected
the ordinance to carry without opposi-
tion. Parker then explained that the
matter OF appointing a physician had
been discussed at length since the pre-
ceding meeting and that he had had
reason to chang his mind. DR.. Hender-
sons action concerning his bill for
services during a previous period of
smallpox had, he said. ranked a great
deal, and he now felt that the council
would be justified in securing some 9TH
er physician.
The bill referred to was one for slS5,
which the council shaved down to s140
DR.. Henderson has not yet accepted the
warrant and it is inferred that he in
tends bringing suit to recover the S45
balance.
Cook arose to say that the doctor had
not said anything to the effect that
he intended bringing suit against the
city and that Parker was doing a great
deal Of dreaming. In the first place
there was no reason why the bill should
have been cut down, and If the doctor
objected to its being done 1t should not
stand in his discredit as a candidate
for the official position in which the
council were to place him.
This ought to be no jobbing-house

a man and he does his work, we ought
to pay him for it,
