ARRIVAL AT HOLYHEAD.


DUBLIN, April s.-Queen victoria's spe-
cial train arrived at Holyhead at $40
o'clock this morning. The authorities
of the place. the officers of the warships in
the harbor and a guard OF honor waited
the arrival of her Majesty. The general
public was excluded from the station.
When the Queen alighted she was pre-
sented with the usual address of welcome.
She gave her reply to Lord Denbigh. who
handed II to the officials. 1t read:
~ thank you for your loyal and dutiful
welcome and for your expressions of de-
votion to my throne and person. The prac-
tical and generous sympathy for those who
have suffered who are likely to suffer in
consequence of the present war which has
been shown by all classes OF my subjects
has been a great consolation to me during
the time of suspense and anxiety through
which we are passing. join In your hearty
prayer that peace may soon be restored
and that the other blessings of heaven be
long continued to my empire. and / wish
all prosperity to the country you repre-
sent"

FROM LORD ROBERTS.
Another Dispatch Giving Details of
Saturdays Fight.

Saturdays Fight.
LONDON, April 3-The War Office to-
day posted dispatch from Lord Roberts
reading follows:
"Bloemfontein April 2. 10:30 p. MIN
continuation of my telegram of March 81,
there has been considerable delay i'm get
ting accurate returns of the casualties, as
the action took place twenty-five miles
hence, the telegraph cable having been in
terrupted several times, cloudy weather
has interfered with signaling and. al
though there has been no engagement
since, the force is continually in touch with
the enemy.
There were many accounts of conspicu-
Gus gallantry displayed during the day.
Battery Q remained in action under a
cross-fire at 100 yards for some hours the
officers serving the guns as the casualties
reduced the detachments. Several gallant
attempts were made to bring in two guns,
the teams of which had been killed. but at
each attempt the horses were shot. The Es-
sex. Minister. Shropshire and Northumber-
land mounted infantry and Roberts HORSE
covered the retirement of the guns from
that position to the crossing of the drift
found by the cavalry, two miles further
south, and withstood the determined at
tacks of the enemy, who in some cases
advanced within one hundred yards. Bat
terry u, of the Royal Horse Artillery, was
suddenly surrounded in the drift and the
officers and men were all made prisoners
without shot being fired. But Major Tay-
lor and sergeant major succeeded in es-
Gaping in the confusion. Five guns were
captured at the same time Further de-
tails Tomorrow
Lord Roberts's dispatch seems to finally
dispose of the earlier reports of the recov-
cry OF the guns. and the fact that the
Beers remain in occupation of the water
works is taken an indication that they
intend to make a stand sufficiently long
to cover the withdrawal of the guns and
wagons to a place of safety, although the
absence of definite information regarding
the movements of General Frenchs cav
airy makes it difficult to estimate their

asserted that not only himself, but the
whole Boer army were profoundly touched
with admiration at their gallant behavior.
II appears that the Beers never doubted
their ability to capture the whole British
force, and were dumfounded at the cour-
age displayed and the mastery way in
which the force was able to escape from
the death trap. The correspondents in

regarding the Boer forces or their move

The Beers undoubtedly shot some of the
prisoners and also shot some of their own
men who advanced TO demand the British
TO surrender, and later. according to the
testimony of eyewitnesses, the Beers shot
some of the prisoners, but the confusion
was so great-the fire proceeding from all
directions and the Beers firing on the con-
voy in which their own men were mixed
up-that it is impossible TO say exactly
what happened.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Feature Of the Speeches and Vote on
Amendments and Bill.

WASHINGTON. April S-This was a
notable day In the United States Senate
II brought To a close the sharpest and
most prolonged debate on any measure
since those discussed during the memoir
able war Congress- two years ago. AT 4
o'clock this afternoon the votes were begun
upon the Porto Rican tariff and civil gov
ernment bill and the pending amendments,
about which there has been so much con-
tention In and out of Congress was passed
by a majority OF nine. the final vote being
40 to 81. Only committee amendments were
adopted.
IL has been evident for some time that
the bill would command a majority in the
Senate but notwithstanding that fact the
interest in the measure, both OF senator's
and OF the public. has not tagged an in
slant. To-day the galleries were crowded.
and hundreds OF people filled the corridors.

galleries. From IL o'clock. when the Sem

their convictions. and the auditors were

particularly notable speeches OF the day
were delivered by Mr.. Mason. of Illinois.

piloted by the Irene. escorted by the royal
yacht Osborne and the cruisers Galatea
and Australia, steamed out of the harbor
for Kingstown.
The premature arrival Of her Majesty
and the wretched weather were a disap-
pointment to Dublin. as thousands of peo-
pie had planned to go out to Kingstown.
Nevertheless, as soon as the news spread,
a large number started for the harbor.
while the Duke of Connaught. commander
of the forces in Ireland, and Earl Cadogan.
the lord lieutenant, also hurried there. and
late in the afternoon boarded the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, where they
greeted the Queen.
James Egan, the Dublin city sword bear
er, who, for nine years, was imprisoned for
politica, offenses, refused to-day TO hand
the Queen the sword, nor would he take
part in to-morrow's proceedings. This de-
clination at the last hour caused sensa-
tion, and the lord mayor is now looking
for another sword bearer. In a letter TO
the town clerk, Mr.. Egan says: II will
yield nothing to any Irishman i'm respect
l cannot join in any act of public courtesy
toward the head OF a state which has tried
me on charges that were false and sent
me to suffer for nine years in English
| dungeons-the state that still hall-marks
me with the degradation of a ticket-of-
| leave man." Mr.. Egan adds that he is pre-
pared to accept the consequences and hand

The activity of the daring thieves who

| during the night when $4,000 worth OF
| jewelry was coolly abstracted from Graf
| ton-street jewelers..
| The decorations are suffering sadly from

| of decoration, as still more bunting is be-

vote is expected tomorrow. and though
the Democrats are hopeful Of an increased
representation I'm the Legislature. il seems
probable that they will make no gains.
The Republicans will certainly control both
branches on joint ballot. which insures
the reelection of Senator Wetmore. The
next Governor of the State will be William
Gregory, the Republican candidate. who
will be elected with the other nominees for
State officers who are on his ticket. The
Democratic candidate, Nathan w. Little

been hampered by Gissensions in his party
ranks due principally to difference of opin-
ion concerning Mr.. Bryan and his prin-
cipleS.
