London, Feb. 26.-The following has
been received here:
"Paardeberg. Feb. 26.-Yesterday
fights along the British front. One
thousand Beers, commanded by Gen.
eral Dewet, who were known to be
operating In the Immediate front, at
early dawn yesterday determined to
attempt to break through the British
lines and aid General Cronje. A body
OF 500 Beers moved toward the Brit
fsh left and conferred In. the direction
Of q kopje with the object Of occupy
ing 1t. Unfortunately for the Beers,
Aowever, the kopje was held by COM
pany Of Scottish borderers, who opened
= heavy fire. The Beers galloped of,
bnt moved again toward another Brit
ssh position, with exactly the same re-
suit
ssThey then made a third attempt to
occupy another position, but the bor-
derers were again ready to receive
them. The third repulse thoroughly
Disconnected the Beers, who galloped
away In q panic. Later, perceiving
another kopje, the Beers moved quick
1y toward 1t. This kopje was unoccu.
pied, but the borderers, not to be
beaten, raced the Beers for the posi-
tion and won, occupying the kopje
and driving off the Beers. A portion
of the latter ultimately occupied u
kopje fianked partially by the border
ers and facing another kopje held by
the Yorkshires.
"a vigorous fusillade ensued, the
British firing truly and accurately and
succeeding in silencing the Boer fire.
Meanwhile the Bluffs were ordered to
reinforce the Yorkshires in case the
Beers should be reinforced. The
British attack worked around to the
right of the kopje held by Yorkshires,
where the Seventh battery was sta
toned, the Sixty-second battery being
placed at a farm near the center OF
the boarderers' position. A vigorous
Smelling, accompanied by British
fusillade, completely slenced the
Beers, but the attempt failed. the
Beers opening a heavy fire and the
British having no cover.
THE British then again opened a
heavy rifle fire, which again silenced
the Beers. The Beers made several
attempts to run. but the Maxims
opened upon them effectually and
checked them. The Bluffs now worked
carefully and cautiously around and
got within $50 yards of the Beers.
Eighty Beers surrendered but many, it
appears, escaped. going singly."

The Atlantic steamship companies are
very disappointed over the amount Of
travel to Paris this year. Contrary to
general expectations the travel was COM
paratively light, and is already practi-
cally over. The Paris exposition lasts
until Nov. Is, and it was expected that
there would be a heavy demand for
steamship tickets until at least Sept. l.,
if not later. The steamship lines have
already reduced the rates to Paris from
New York. This reduction would not
have been made until four weeks later
had the travel been what was anticl-
pated.
John G. Alien, the steamship agent, is
in receipt of telegram announcing the
arrival in Liverpool of the steamer Lake
Superior, at o'clock yesterday morning.
There are a large number of ST. Paul
people on board this boat en- route to
Paris. Mr.. Allen also received a tele-
gram stating that the steamer Montfort,
of the Eden, Dempster line, arrived at
Quebec from England yesterday morning
with large contingent of immigrants
bound for Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The Immigrants viii reach st. Paul
Thursday morning.
On account of the trouble in China the
steamship lines have cancelled all reser-
vations for that place. The usual ex-
cursion season to China commences

WHY THE ASSETS SHRUNK
DISTRICT COURT Is INQUIRING INTO
THE ALLEHIANNIA BANKS
CONDITION
HEARD BY JUDGE JAGGARD
Creditors Want the Receiver Re-
stricted In the Disposition
Made of the Remaining
Assets.

Judge Jaggard yesterday listened to an
argument regarding the Allemannia bank
that brought out the fact that the as
sets of that defunct institution have
shrunk from $4,000 to a paltry $50,Oo0
Receiver Hunt asked for a general order
giving him power to sell the assets and
make such terms with the creditors as
might be deemed advisable.
The assets Of the bank consisted of
about $4,000 worth of notes with a few
pieces of realty and some personal prop
erty.
The assets on the books had been
valued at $125,OOO. The bank examiner,
upon full examination and investiga-
ton of these assets, placed their value
at $4,000 In this view President Vanish
had conceded.
There were large proportion of the
notes absolutely worthless, and with re-
spect to other notes, he recommended that
the receiver be permitted to make settle
ment.
Attorney Taylor representing forty of
the creditors, objected to any such order
as requested, and said that he believed
that the receiver should have considerab b q
latitude in adjusting the claims, but did
not think 1t wise or fair to the creditors
to give this official such wide powers.
The debts of the concern amounted to
$4,000, and after applying the credit of
$4,000, there would remain $4,000 to be
paid He thought the stockholders la
bility should be enforced to make good
the deficiencies. Nothing whatever had
been done by the officers of the bank on
this score. A vigorous prosecution should
be had in that behalf
After hearing the arguments on the ap-
p1cation Judge Jaggard took the mat
ter under advisement
