BELoIT's BRIGHTER ERA.
Big Celebration Over Final Payment O.
City Debt.

Beloit, Wis, Feb. 28.-Beloit yester-
day celebrated the final payment of its
city debt, which for forty years has
hung like a cloud over the city and
turing which time it has levied annual
ly for the payment of this debt more
taxes than it has used in its general ex-
penses. Away back in 1853 Beloit was
a beautiful New England village, but
not satisfied with it's natural growth it
aspired to have a railroad and unfor-
tunately subscribed for 100000 of the
stock of the then projected railroad
from Racine southwest passing through
Beloit. Like many another city Of
railroad experience the road was built,
but sold out soon after on the mortgage
and Judgment entered against it and
the stock became valueless. In delay
ing and avoiding. the payment for its
stock Beloit made its second mistake,
because it greatly added to the original
debt by the interest and other costs
that accumulated in this delay, till now
at the close of more than forty years it
has taken from the treasury of the city
more than 100000 to finally wipe out
the debt.

CONFERENCE FRUITLESS.
Republicans Take No Vote on Porto

Washington, Feb. 5.-Republican
representatives met in conference last
night in the hall of the house to com

bers were present. Mr.. Cannon Gil.
acted as chairman and Mr.. Loudens-

night none of the propositions had been
voted upon and members began leaving
the hall. The feeling prevailed, how
ever, that the two year limitation
would be agreed upon as a basis COM
promise and that with this change the
bill would receive pretty general, AL
though not unanimous support. A
committee of ten, five from each side,
to go over the subject and report some
middle ground, may be appointed with
instructions to report Monday night
until when adjournment was had.

Jubilation, Throwing Aside Re-

London, March 1.-Ladysmith was
relieved yesterday. When news be-
came generally known London literally
went mad with joy and throughout
England the scenes witnessed have no
parallel in the memories of this gen
Grafton. The pent-up jubilation at the
relief of Kimberley and the capture of
Cronje could NO longer be controlled
and with today's browning triumph the
national trait Of self restraint was
thrown to the winds The lord mayor
telegraphed his congratulations to
Generals White and Butler When the
queen received the news at Windsor
the bells on the curfew tower of the
castle were rung in honor of the event.
A storm of jubilation centered around
the Mansion house and by noon thou
sands of persons blocked the ap-
proaches. 1t was dense, black mass,
composed chiefly of business men, a
majority of them carrying little union
jacks. Never before was there sucn a
sale of flags. All traffic was stalled
for hours. Stores put up their shutters
and gave their employees a holiday
Colesberg has also been relieved.

night. The Inniskillings lost four out
of IL officers killed and wounded, and
about $50 non-commissioned officers
and men were killed or wounded. Gen
Lyttleton's brigade relieved Gen.
Harris brigade in the morning; and
the artillery duel continued yesterday
Sunday, though no great damage
was done. Today an armistice was
agreed upon to enable both sides to
collect the dead and wounded. The

losses, but they scout the idea that the

The East st. Louis day express, due
at Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, was de-
layed by freight train which was
stuck in snow drift two miles south
OF independence, about twelve miles
out from Kansas City. The ST. Louis
local passenger train, running 40
minutes behind the fast express, came
on through the binding snow storm
and crashed into the express train
ahead, the engineer having failed to
see the danger signal. The parlor car
in the rear of the first train was liter
ally cut in two. Fire added to the
horrors of the wreck, GOALS from the
furnace of the shattered engine hav-
ing fallen among the debris of the
splintered coach and soon the whole
wreck was ablaze. Two or more per-
sons, it is believed, were burned.

Illusion. AS announced in the house
of commons, ten regiments of
troops will Immediately go out, the
effective to be kept near 100000. Lord
Roberts has done more than capture
1000 beers and few guns. He is
within striking distance of one of the
boer capitals and is master of large
district of the Free State. He has
given shock to the boer confidence
and immeasurably restored the spirit
of his own troops. In capturing Cron-
je he has taken a leader whose pres
ence alone was worth thousands to
the boer cause. The best opinion
here is that the Transvaalers
are certain to continue
the fight with undiminished valor but
it is not so certain about the Free Stat
ers. There are some points still in
doubt. 1t is not clear whether the
1000 prisoners include those taken in
small parties before the capitulatlOn.
What has become of the rest OF the

and where are the big guns? The

Butler is having a hard time in

nights fighting, that he was misled
when he wired there was only weak

the end of last week, as an armlstlce
was agreed upon to allow attendance
upon the wounded, and burial Of the
dead. Both sides must have lost heav-
| lily. At any moment, however, news
may come of Buffers success. Friday

siege of the garrison, which is SEEM
ingly in a position where it is unable
to do anything to help Butler.
Cronje Capitulates.
London, Feb. %, 3 a. MIN the un-
conditional surrender of General Cronje
to Lord Roberts at Paardeberg, coming
as it did on the nineteenth anniversary
of the battle of Majuba hill, the British
regard that this serious defeat, which
is more often described as a massacre,
is finally avenged. They had hoped to
same day, but General Buffers task is
still accomplished, though he has
been fighting continuously for fourteen
days, with severe losses. The capture
of Cronje with his 80 sub-command-
ants, including the German artillerist,
Major Albrecht, 1000 men, and six
guns of small caliber, has cost the
British field marshal some 200 men in

casualties were is unknown and as yet

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Murphy & Co. say
The cotton adviceS from Liverpool to-day
were about as expected. Our market has
been very narrow this afternoon, with an
almost total absence of outside business.
The bureaus weekly weather report, to
be published this afternoon, is awaited
with interest Rains have been had in
Georgia, Arkansas and Mississippi, where
they will be beneficial The Carolinas,
however, stil need a good soaking rain.
Our advices from Louisiana this morning
are of a favorable character. The crop is
generally believed to be about two weeks
late. Movement of new cotton is increas-
ing somewhat Conservative interests are
disposed to wait for more information on
the prospects of average crops as quite
short interest still exists
AS some professional operators bought
freely just before the report was read,
the impression prevails that it was known
by a favored few. and as the tenor of is
summary was very much worse than ex
pected, this market advanced 10 points on
rather general buying, fearing foreign
markets may regard it seriously

Co. say: Liverpool rallied sharply in an

and maintained the advance to the close.
AS our improvement of yesterday was
based upon the probability of this repors
being unfavorable, the market did not

eign advices. On the publication of the
report the market advanced quickly,
though the trade regard it as exaggerat-
ed and not representing the beneficial
effect of the recent rains. They look for
