Are Tired of War.
Washington, Jan. 30.-In view of the
reports of the British defeats in South
Africa, and the probability that Lady
smith will soon be compelled to sur
render to the Beers, diplomats here
would not be surprised to see WASH
ington become the center of interest in
the South African controversy. 1t is
predicted that such a success for the
Beers as the taking of Ladysmith will
encourage the idea of intervention on
the part OF neutral powers, in the name
of humanity, to end the war.

Hair to he Cut by Law.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 3O.--A bill has
been introduced in the provincial par
lament entitled, For the regulation Of
the length of hair that may be worn
by employees in the metalliferous and
other mines of British Columbia. The
object is to take advantage of the ORR
entail superstition in favor Of the
queue, and by a law of seemingly gen.
eral application to avoid technical dis
crimination-on which ground a pre-
vious measure seeking to exclude Chi
namen from the mines was vetoed.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Reports from va
rious points throughout Illinois show
the state to be swept by cold wave Of
great intensity. Fears are entertained
for the winter wheat crop, which is
not protected by snow. Advices from
st. Paul and other northwestern points
are that a violent blizzard prevails
throughout Minnesota and the Dako-
tas.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.-The mercury
is at 10 degrees below Zero In western
Nebraska it Is II degrees colder, with
considerable snow. A hurricane has
prevailed through the state for many
hours. Stock is suffering some, but be-
cause of the splendid weather previous
ly the range cattle are in fine condi-
ton, and could stand much worse
weather.
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 29.-The ther-
mometer here is at zero, and rapidly
sinking. 1t is predicted that this bliz-
card will wipe out the winter wheat
crops in southern and central wiscon-
sin, where there has been little or no
snow to protect the grain.

Undisguised JOY in Many Capitols Over

London, Jan. 30.-Dispatches from
Paris, Vienna and Berlin describe the
undisguised joy of the people over the
British defeat, which is displayed as
though their own armies had been
winning greet victories.
Again Paris knew of the abandon
ment OF Spion kop before London. DR..
Leyds, the diplomatic agent of tho
Transvaal, knew it Thursday night
when the war Office here announced
that it had no information. The Paris
papers say that the war Office was
afraid to make the announcement,
while others declare that the officials
at the war office kept back the news in
order that they and their friends might
take advantage at the stock exchange

Berlin, Jan. 30.-The cost of the Mid

the building of the Berlin-Stettin ship

Butler Was Purponoly Allowed to Cross
the Tugela River.
!.ondon, Jan. 3o.-Dispatches from
Durham show what has been thought
likely that the Beers well knew of Gen.
Buffers crossing the Tugela and did
not interfere with him in order to get
him entangled as they did. The fact
that Spion kop's first ridge was aban-
doned by the Beers after one volley
makes 1t most likely that the ADAM
donment was mere ruse to lure the
British to the next position, which was
covered by the Boer guns. The COM
mentators doubt whether Gen. Butler
implies that his whole force re-
crossed the Tugela- They wonder If
Lord Dundonald's cavalry is in danger,
but probability points to the retirement
of the whole British force.
