New York, Feb. 14.--The Salvation
Army celebrated the twentieth ami
versary of its establishment in the
United States in Carnegie Hall last
night. William, the infant son Of COM
mander and Consul Booth Tucker, was
publicly dedicated to God and the
army. In an address Commander
Booth Tucker said: IN the last 20
years the number of persons attending
our sessions in America who have
knelt at the penitent bench has been
100000. We have given 1875, 900 meals
to the starving poor, and in the next
20 years we will give 26,0O0,000 meals.
The three farm colonies, started at
cost of $4,000, are a success, and had
we 100000 we would start more like
them. We have secured work for 56,-
900 people, and we will get employ
ment for 100000 in the 20 years to
come"

ANTITRUST CONFERENCE
Favers the seizare. and Government
Ownership Of Railroads.


Favers the seiz.re a.d Government
OwaershiP of Railroads.
Chicago, Feb. A.-After . heated de-
bate the resolutions committee of the
antitrust conference last night decided
to report In favor Of government own
ership of railroads and for their seiz-
ure on payment Of actual value and
without payment for "watered stock
or other fictitious values" The COM
mittee also unanimously favored direct
popular legislation as q means OF OBJ
tanning the result.
The platform further declares for
government ownership of all public
utilities and natural monopolies, gov
eminent money, the referendum and
direct legislation, and the withdrawal
of all protective tariffs from all arti-
cles controlled by trust.
President Lockwood, Of the Anti
Trust league. said last night: This is
a remarkable gathering in many re-
spects. Every delegate paid his own
railroad fare here. and the speakers are
all volunteers. Tho league has not
spent dollar In promoting the move
ment. The delegates travelled many
miles for q purely unselfish motive.
This is not like political convention.
as we have no promises to make or
Offices to give. We are here to fight
for principle. firmly believe that
this gathering Is the beginning Of
movement which will wipe every mall
evolent trust from the country within
O. few years"

whether Accident or Suicide VIII
Probably Never he Known.
New York, Feb. 14.-Congressman
Charles A. Chickering, Of Copenhagen,
N. Y, was killed by falling or jumping
some time Monday night from the
fire escape on the fourth story Of the
Grand Union hotel, this city. He was
found dead from fractured skull on
the street directly under the window
of his room. The window was open.
There Is no means Of ascertaining how
he got over the four foot railing of the
fire escape He had suffered much from
rheumatism, and the pain Of his sick
ness had affected his mind. The mans
clothing consisted of trousers. under
clothing, socks and nightshirt tucked
into the drawers. He had on no shoes,
coat or hat. The speculation about
the manner of death led to the conjec-
ture that he may have been seized by
q fit of temporary insanity from the
pain Of rheumatism and have jumped
out Of the window in the night, or that
he had been a somnambulist and had
walked out Of the window and clam
bered over the fire escape.

Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-John s.
Peach, aged 40 years, and his wife Mar
garet, q years old. were yesterday
found dead in bed at No. 2426 Ingersoll
street, into which house they had
moved last Saturday. Poison was the
cause of their deaths, but whether it
was premeditated suicide on the part Of
10th or whether It was case Of MUIR
der and suicide the police are unable
to learn. The couple. with their two
children, aged 2 and 1 years, came
here few weeks ago from Washing
ton, where Peach was formerly en-
ployed on the police force. Peach could
not find employment. and last week
the children were given over to the
care of one of Peach's sisters. 1t Is be-
lieved that the stress of poverty is the
cause Of the tragedy.

Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-Sailor Tom
Sharkey and Joe Goddard, the barrier
champion, met last night at Industrial
Hall in what was to have been q six
round bout. Goddard, however, was
clearly outclassed, and was saved in
the middle of the fourth round from
an almost certain knockout by his
trainer, Jack Dougherty, throwing up
the sponge. Sharkey, in a series of
terrific rushss, had warmed things for
the veteran until defeat seemed to be
due in the next blow, when Dougherty
surrendered. Goddard was still anxious
to fight and made lunge at the sailor.
The two mixed things and after rapid
exchanges Goddard slipped to the
floor and with Tom on top came near
rolling ingloriously through the ropes.

KENTUCKY LOOKS PEACEFUL.
Rival Party Legislators May Meet in
Frankfort This Week.

Rival Party Legislators May Meet In
Frankfort This Week.
Louisville, Feb. 1.-THE first sign
of break in the Democratic lines was
noticeable yesterday. 1t came in the
shape of resolution offered by SEN
ator Triplett providing that upon ad-
journment tomorrow the legislature
name Frankfort as its next meeting
place. While no action upon the reso-
luton was taken, it is believed to
foreshadow return of the Democratic
legislature to the state capital soon,
possibly by the end of the week. This
action probably will be taken when
report is received from the committee
sent to Frankfort to report upon con-
ditions as to the presence about the
capitol of armed men.
With the resumption Of legislative
business at Frankfort in prospect and
the transfer to the courts Of the claims
of the rival governors, as seems likely
to be brought about within few days,
the clouds are rapidly lifting, and 1t
is believed normal political conditions
may be restored In the state in two
or three weeks.

ANOTHER BODR VICTORY
British Compelled to Retire From
the ColeSberg District.
LORD ROBERTS THREATENED
The KSer Mastery of the District Has
Caused q Wide Spread of Insurrec-
tiOn-GeneraI Buffers Intentions

Caused Wide Spread of Insurreo-
tion-General Buffers Intentions
Mt Present Unknown.
London, Feb. 1.-THE news of the
day is the enforced retirement of the
British from the Colesberg district,
under heavy Boer pressure. and prob
ably after brisk fighting. Thus, at a
time when Lord Roberts is apparently
about to push an army into the Free
State the Beers make counter stroke,
in unknown, but seemingly great force,
not far from the vital line Of railway
connecting De Aar and Orange River.
Military observers do not regard this
as more than a menace Nevertheless,
the news produces an unpleasant i'm
preston here. General French had
Unanswered the Beers out of Rens-
burg in December. On Jan. 1t was
reported that he could take Colesberg
in two days, with achievements.
These were sent, but the Beers also
were reinforced. Since then the Brit
fish lines have been extended east and
west, SO that at the opening of this
week they constituted a great horse
shoe, rs miles In length. The lines
were not continuous, but all the strong
positions were held.
General French, when he Joined
Lord Roberts, presumably took most
of his cavalry. General Clements was
left with the infantry to hold the
Beers in check, but Commandant De-
lor dN,,hlo f,rrp fpU
ment, has compelled the British to
concentrate at Rensburg, beside threat
ening Lord Roberts communications.
The Boer mastery Of the district has
caused a spread of instruction, but
this, no doubt, will be promptly re-
pressed, as large British forces are
available not far away.
The indications as to General Bull
lers immediate intentions are con-
Trajectory. One informant, who has
intimate relations with the war Office,
predicts movement within the next
two days. A number of correspond
ents who have been with General Bull
Ter. however, nave gone to Durham for
a few days rest, under the impression
that nothing is to be done Immediately.
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
Rensburg, dated yesterday, says:
There has been hard fighting for two
days near Colesberg, the Beers max
ing strenuous efforts to outflank the
British left. The enemy occupies
strong positions from Achtertang,
through Polfontein, to point five
miles south of Jasfontein.
The fighting at the outpost camps
has been very severe during the last
few days. Yesterday the Beers attack
ed the position of the Worcesters. to
the southeast of Colesberg. Fighting
continued all day, and after dark it
was considered necessary to withdraw
to Rensburg. Our losses are not yet
known.
