NO BALTIMORE SUNDAY SELLING.

cigarette or a seidltz powder could be bought
In Baltimore to-day. For the first Sunday in
many years every cigar store, corner grocery
bakery and the ike was closed up tight A
few drug stores kept open, and those that did
displayed placards informing the public that
the soda fountains were closed and that abso-
lutely nothing would be sold without a pre-
scripuon. Five or six hundred policemen were
kept busy all day taking the names of boot
blacks cabnlen and the keepers of little shops
or fruit stands for presentation to the Grand
Jury The Sunday newspapers were not stopped
but policemen took the names of the pressmen
and other employees.
The Police Department will hand in enough
names to the Grand Jury to keep that body
busy for nearly all the rest of the term to the
exclusion Of the regular business for which 1t
was chosen. The downtown saloons, which
have pull" had the tip from their political
protectors that even side doors must be
closed Not drink obtainable for love or
money. The Grand Jury will be overcrowded
with petty offenders against the old blue laws
while the gross vtolators will lie low until after
the agitation blows over. The laws 1t is sought
to enforce are a hundred years old. Their rigid
enforcement will doubtless result in revision
Of them by the Legislature now in session.

men in the front trenches surrendered being

The Boer advance continued on the two kopjes
east of Spion Kop. Many Beers were shot, but
numerous were the burghers that the gaps

London. Jan. 20, a. m-GeneraI Buffers
story of the failure at Spion Kop differs in
marked degree from the official account dis
patched from the Boer camp. The British
General certainly canddy admits a reverse.
but. according to the Boer accounts, Spion Kop
was second Majuba, whereas General Butler
leads us to believe that General warrens re-
linquishment Of the captured ridge was purely
voluntary. The Beers declare that they grad
ually worked their way up to the trenches. and
as they reached them the British broke and
fed or threw up their arms and surrendered.
The burghers claim to have captured one hun
dred and fifty prisoners, and. while unable as
yet to gauge the effect of the British retreat,
confidently expect it to be immense.
Accounts of the fighting forwarded by special
correspondents with General Warren in
complete and do not afford much information.
but great praise is given to the Kings Royal
Rifles by "The Daily News's' correspondent for
the gallant way in which they fought their
way up the steepest part Of the hill in the face
OF wItnerfng nre.
The gravity of the situation is insisted upon
by every newspaper published this morning

thrown upon the resources Of the imur-
rial government for supplies
The rommiSsariat department were not
authorized to feed the civilian popula-

found necessary to ask the mayor of

OF course it was ncv~: supposed for Il

but 1T now appears that this demand has
been made in the most pcrenlptory man
