THE Austin flood of Saturday
leaves the capital city of Texas in
a deplorable condition. The in
debtedness of the city amounts to
one and half million of dollars.
while the tax rate is only II cents
below the maximum permitted by
law. Her water supply, on which
she depended for the operation of
her industries and for the encour
agement of others, is gone. She
has no fire protection, her light
service is suspended and no street
cars are running. Under these
distressing conditions her people
are almost on the verge of despair.
The people of the entire state and
those of adjoining states sympa-
thize with the citizens of Austin and
hope that wise and cool heads may
devise some plan for their relief.

PRESIDENT HADLEY's RETURN He Arrived Home from His Western
 Trip Last Evening.

President Arthur Twining Hadley of
 Yale university returned last evening from his western trip and was seen at his residence on Whitney avenue by a
 representative of the Journal and Courier. President Hadley said that he would not give his lecture to the stu dents to-day. He said that while his trip was a long and tiring one it was made very delightful by the hospitality and enthusiasm with which he was met everywhere. Asked as to the probabil- ity of financial advantage resulting to the university from his trip, he said that he had nothing specific or definite to say yet in regard to this. He said that his trip was made primarilyifs fsr the pur- pose of acquaintance with the alumni of the university and secondarily for various parts of the country. He said that his trip had no financial signif- canoe except in so far as it served to better acquaint the alumni with the plans of the university. He said that Professor Phillips dean of the gradu- ate department, would probably make trip through the west soon.
 Asked as to the plans for the bi- centennial celebration, President Had ley said that they were not yet sufi- ciently advanced to warrant him in making any statement concerning them. Concerning his quoted statement as to a remedy for the evils of trusts he said that he did not care to be interviewed

HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL,
It Carries S45,245, ,25O-An Attack ou
 Pension Comm issioner.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The pension appropriation bill carrying $145, ,245, ,25O was passed by the house to-day. It was made the vehicle for an attack up- on the commissioner of pensions by MT. Curtis, rep, of Kansas, who was seconded by Mir. Lentz and MT. Norton of Ohio and MT. Robinson of Indiana and other northern democrats. All in- weighed against the lack of liberality in the administration of the pension laws. The commissioner was ably de- tended by score of members from both sides of the house. Mr. Idahon, rep, of Pennsylvania, charged that the assault upon him had been instigated by the pension sharks of this city, who were robbing the old soldiers. As result of the latter's disclosures a rider was put upon the bill by unani- nous consent empowering the commis- sioner in his discretion to withhold the fees of attorneys of record in benson cases where he was satisfied that the attorneys had not prepared the cases under their personal supervision.

FIRE IN CIRCUS QUARTERS
B1RNUM tG BAILEY BUILDING IN
 BRIDGEPORT DESTROYED.
Cars of Mir. Bailey nnd MT. Cody, Two SIeepers and Forty Other Equtpnges Lost-Sixty Horses Only Saved by Superhumnn Efforts.

Bridgeport Jan. 19.-At five minutes after ten o'clock tonight fire started in the section of the Barnum < Bailey winter quarters devoted to the storage and repair of cars, and before the flames were extngnished the building used for car storage, extending three hundred feet on Worden avenue, was totally de- stroyed with all it's contents. The loss is estimated at about $70,000, on which there was no insurance. Besides the building, which was a one-story brick structure, MT. Bailey's private car, which was one of the handsomest and most complete equipages of the kind ever turned out of the car shops; Will liam F. Cody's private buffet car, two modern sleepers for officers of the Buff falo Bill combination, two improved ad- vertising cars-in all about thirty-eight more or less expensive equipages used with the shows-were totally destroyed The private car of MT. Bailey cost some three years ago $17O00, William F. Cody's private car cost $S000 and the remainder burned cost about $30,000. The building itself was not valued at more than $S,OOO. The fire is thought
 
 combustion.
 In addition to the destruction of the Barnum & Bailey property where the conf1agration originated, flames spread to the two~story structure at the cor her of Worden and Railroad avenues, used as lodging and living apartments by the Italian laborers who recently came here to work on railroad improve- ments and this structure with all it's contents was totally destroyed. There was no insurance Other buildings damaged were five residences, all of which were more or less damaged by I the intense heat. The three-story- brick building in the rear of the car storage shops of tbe Barnum & Bailey show property, together with sixty head of horses, some of which were purchased by MT. Bailey two weeks ago for ship ment abroad and a number of which were trick and running horses, were only saved by almost superhuman ef. forts on the part of the employees of the show and the firemen. For half an hour it was believed that this property was doomed with the rest. The horses | were released as quickly as possible and | got out of danger and the flames start | ed on the structure several times, but l were extinguished by a bucket brigade. l Had this building taken fire the loss | Would have been double what it is.

BoER ACCOUNTS OF ADyANCE.
British BOmbardment Most FrfghtfuI
 Ever Witmeaach om Land.

Ever Witnessed on Land.
 London, Jan. 20.-The Boer accounts of the passage of the Tugela river are given in the following two dispatches from Commandant Viljoens' camp on the upper Tugela, via Lorenzo Mar quez, January IS:
 January 16: Buffers second move was reconnaissance in force with an armored train and a large body, SUD- ported by cannon, toward Colenso last night. A heavy bombardment ensued, and, thereupon the British returned, having wounded one of our men. No reply was made. This move was a feint to cover extensive movements up the river. Kaffirs on this side of the Tu- gela have been warned. by the British to leave their kraals, as the fight will commence shortly"
 The second dispatch runs thus: Jan uary 17; The night was unbroken, save for slight rifle encounters between outposts which led to nothing At daybreak the enemy was located as be- fore. He had not brought a single gun across the river. But from the ridges of Swartz Kop a battery and a half of siege guns opened on our position at 5 a. m. The bombardment was prob- ably the most frightful ever witnessed on land. Frequently five heavy naval guns fired simultaneously at one en- trenchment."

FULLER GAINS BY DELAY.
Transports Still Arriving nt Durbnn-
 Fresh Troops Going Forward.

FfeSh troops 4O1nS FOrwnfu
 London, Jan. 20-4:30 a. m.-Every hour that General Butler delays his combined attack makes his position stronger. Transports continue to arrive at Durban and fresh troops are being sent up the line to reinforce those in front of Colenso It appears that Gen. eral Buffers troops north of the Tugela number at least 22,0OO, and possibly 25, 900, with fifty guns. His total forces, forming greater outer curve south and west of Ladysmith, probably number 40.000.
 While General Buffers forward oper- ations, which began on January 10, de- velop rather leisurely, the Boers appear to be fully aware that they must meet a strenuous assault. Balloon observers have roughly estimated that 10000 Boers are using spade and pick in artificially strengthening positions which nature has rendered easy of defense. Military critics in touch with the war office think that news that general fighting has begun may be expected at any hour. It is not thought that one days fighting will settle the fate of Ladysmith, but rather that there will be two or three days of continuous fighting.

CHINA AND J4PAN.
Hearing on Bill Tor Commission to
 Study Conditions.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The senate committee on commerce to-day gave a
 hearing upon Senator Gallingers bill
 providing for commission to study
 and make a full report upon the com mercial and industrial conditions of China and Japan, with view of in- creasng the commerce in those coun- tries John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, and George Page of Boston made arguments in favor of the bill. Profes- sor Wilson made an argument in favor of the bill introduced by Senator Pen rose for adding to and completing spec imens of productions to be exhibited in the museums of Philadelphia.
 Mr. Barrett urged the Gallinger bill on the ground that all European coun- tries were now bending their energies as never before to develop and control the Asiatic markets. All other commer- cial nations had sent commissions whose reports had been, admittedly, most ben eficial. While our consuls were doing good work each in his sphere, careful comparative report was needed on China, Japan Siam, Korea, Siberia and the Philippines, showing specifically just what the Asiatics wanted and would buy and under what conditions such trade could be best developed.
 Mr. Page in the course of his argu- ment said the expansion of our com merce was a platform upon which all parties might stand Next to. our home markets those now rapidly opening in China held by far the largest promise. The American manufacturers and mer- chants were greatly lacking in their knowledge of men and conditions in the East. First" said he, i've need a complete knowledge, in detail of the de- mands and the possibilities of our trade 4 in that empire. There is so much at stake that this knowledge cannot be too comprehensive, the danger lies in sunerfic ia lity :"

iSENdTOR HALE ATTACKS ENGLAND Question ofn Transvaul Representative
 Here Causes Inn mpn ssi iOmed Speech.

Washington, Jan. 19.--A speech, sen-
 satonal in it's interest and interna-
 tional in it's importance, was delivered
 ill the senate to-day by MT. Hale, rep,
 of Maine. The occasion of the utter
 ance was the simple question whether a resolution introduced by MT. Allen, pop, of Nebraska, calling for informa-
 tion as to the recognition by this coun-
 try of diplomatic representation of the
 Transvaal republic should be directed to the president or to the secretary of state. MT. Hale made the question the
 text of an impassioned speech, in which he declared that nine-tenths of the American people sympathized with the Boers in their gallant struggle for liberty against one of the greatest pow CTS of the world. He declared that "the war which Great Britain is wag- ing is the most felling blow at human liberty that has been struck in the cen- tury." He denied that the American people were fin sympathy with Great Britain in the South African war to stamp out the liberty of a people" and when MT. Balfour in the house of com mons made such statement The should be met with some disclaimer from this side of the Atlantic" He declared that the English people them selves were not in favor of the war, which had been brought on by sharp cabinet minister engaged with gold spectators" The resolution which previous to MT. Hale's speech had caused a sharp colloquy between MT. Allen and MT. Spooner, rep, of Wiscon- sin, was passed finally as amended, ask ing the president for the information
