into the troops. The character OF the
canon was such that the horses OF the
cavalry were useless and they were
left outside. the men. advancing on foot
Only few OF the Indians had firearms.
the rest using bows and arrows. Had
the Indians been well armed as they
had been In later wars. the loss of the
whites would have been very large;
as it was only four or five soldiers
were killed. though the Indian loss
amounted to nearly fifty.
a charge was made upon the log fort,
and Lee, who was a dashng officer and
wonderful favoria with his men, was
the first one to Scale the breastwork.
The arrows were wnizzing all about
him, and one struck him In the breast
infiicting Very ugly wound. AS he
fell, the confusion was SO great about
him that the arrow was pulled out OF
his flesh and thrown to the ground
among other arrows, whole and broken
so that no one could tell afterward
whether the head had remained in the
wound or drawn out with the stick.
1t was impossible. therefore, to say
how seriously he had been hurt, and he
was ordered at once to the rear, where
litter was improyised of saplingS and
boughs. He was laid upon this, which
was swung between two horses, AID
mus lie WAS CtlTTleQ DaCk TO the wagon
train distance of more than $50 miles
through q rough country. Probing
showed that the head of the arrow had
fortunately been drawn out, and In due
time good nursing put the lieutenant
on his feet again.
This is an incident In Lees career
which is apparently known to very few.
1t is of interest, also, that the old Sec
ond Cavalry had for it's colonel Albert
Sidney Johnston and for its lieutenant
colonel Robert e. Lee, and that Hardee,
of tactics" fame, and George H.
Thomas were two Of it's majors. The
captain of the company in which Fitg-
hugh Lee was first lieutenant was
Kirby Smith. Loef71er served with
credit In the Union Army during the
civil war, was given hisi White House
detail by President Grant, ind was ap.
pointed by President Mckinley as
military storekeeper' in the regular
army, with the rank of captain.

FOR RELIEF OF LADYSMITH.
Admirable Work of .DundonaItks
Mounted Brigade.


Mount Alice, near Potgieter's Drift, Ma
tai. Monday, Jan. 15.-The forward move
ment for the relief of Ladysmith began
on Wednesday, Jan. 10, from Frere and
Chievely.
Lord Dundonald's mounted brigade, with
the Fifth Brigade, under Gen Hart, COM
prising the Dublins, the Connaughts, the
Enniskillens and the border regiment, pro-
ceeded northwesterly TO Springfield The
position had previously been thoroughly
reconnoitered.
A few miles outside of F'rere Lord Dun
donald passed targets erected by the Beers
TO represent a force advancing in skirmish-
ing order. Evidently the Beers had been
firing at these from adjacent hills
Lord Dundonald pushed on, and as the
pain column advanced, 1t was noticed
that Springfield was not occupied by the
Beers and that the Fifth Brigade had TAX
en- possession. The British transports ex-
tended for several miles and comprised
some 5000 vehicles.
The mounted brigade advanced rapidly,
not meeting with any opposition The
British scouts had minutely searched all
suspicious country, but there was no sign
of the enemy.
The column advanced to Mount Alice,
facing the enemy's mountain fortress
The Beers mad been at Potgicter's Drift
the previous day, but a body of South
African horse swan the stream under fire
and brought over the pont from the Beers
side.
The Beers were evidently surprised at
the appearance of the British on the
scene. A large camp could be seen on
Tugela Hights, facing Mount Alice, but
che enemy quickly struck camp and clear
ed off into the mountains. buggy was
seen leaving for the hills on the right.
presumably with Gen. Joubert or some
other commandant
Gen Butler took UP his quarters in A
pleasantly situated farm house belonging
to Martinus Prectorus, who had disap-
peared.
on Friday a loud explosion was heard.
Subsequently it was found that the Beers
had destroyed bridge under construction
seven miles above Potgieters Drift.
Gen. Butler has issued a spirited ap-
peal and instructions TO the forces, begin
ming:
I'VE are going to the relief Of our com
rades in Ladysmith. There will be no
turning back"
The order proceeds 70 advise the men,
when they charge, regulating the condi-
tions under which they should receive the
surrender of any OF the enemy. 1t also
warns them that the Beers are treacher-
Gus in the use of the white flag.
This order has been received with en-
thusiasm IN every camp. The march was
very trying. but the troops are now en-
camDed amid very pleasant surroundings.

FRANKFORT'S GRAVE TRAGEDY.
Strangers Have Gone Away for Fear
of Another Outbreak.

Frankfort, ,sKy., Jan. 1S.-Frankfort has
begun TO right itself after Tuesdays trag-
edy. Many strangers who were then in
town have gone away, possibly through
fear of another outbreak, and the lobby of
the Capitol Hotel is not in favor with lott
erers.
All newspapers giving the later details
of the Colson-Scott tragedy. however, are
still bought up as soon as the newsboys
cry them, and in numerous instances the
same man purchases two OF three differ
ent papers. New arrivals ask eagerly for
every detail of the encounter, and those
who were in the lobby at the time of COM
mencement are made to repeat the story
over and over again.
Friends of Col. Colson assert that third
person was engaged in the shooting, and
Colson is said to have made a statement
TO that effect.
Friends of Capt. Golden, who was with
Scott at the time the fight occurred, deny
that he participated in the shooting. Capt
Golden was sent TO Louisville to-day and
taken to st. Joseph's Intirmary in that
city for an operation.
Cosons condition is still serious. He
remains in jail. The grand jury Is still
investigating the affair. The funerals of
the victims took place to-day.

manoff of the imperial Russian navy, who
arrived in Chicago to-day.
The lieutenant has just completed a
three-years' cruise in As.auc waters on
the Russian battleship sissoi Veliky and
is on his way 10 st. Petersburg. He con-
tinued:
Just how soon such war may begin

japanese are building warships as rapidly
as possible in anticipation of the outbreak
Of hostilities and Russia is strengIh Iheniug

Arthur and Vladivostock is conceded and
that she will try to get one in Korea is
certain.

similatlon; there should be no tyrannical
absorption our government and our mode
of administration is not adapted to the
situation existing among the Filipinos.'
Mr.. McEnery of Louisiana gave notice
that on next Tuesday he would address
the Senate on the resolutions relating to
the proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton of North Carolina
Mr. Turner of Washington announced
that he would speak on the Philippine
question next Monday; and Mr. Bacon of
Georgia gave notice that he would dis
cuss his resolution on the Philippines next
week.
Teller on Financial Bill.
Mr.. Teller then resumed his speech on
the financial bin. He criticised the pend
ing bill because II afforded opportunity to
banks to issue paper money. This sur-
render OF the great power of the govern
ment," said he, "the right to make money,
should bring our legislation into absolute
contempt"
Mr.. Teller read The now famous letter Of
Vice President A. B. Hepburn of the Ma
tional city Bank of New York to Secre-
tary Gage.
This" he said, Ought TO have gone
back to the writer with singing letter
of reply. From subsequent events how
ever, il Is evident that the Secretary In
tended TO grant the request"
Ms Teller said that when he saw bank
presidents taking such actions in politics
as were indicated by the Hepburn letter
he was satisfied that the situation de-
manded severe criticism, If not drastic
action.
Mr.. Teller concluded thnt this was not
a safe time to change our financial sys-
tenn to go to the gold standard. Notwith-
standing the so-called prosperous condi-
ton of the/country there was a serious
money panic I'm New York which forced
the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
about S22,000000 Of United states bonds.
In addition to that the Secretary had
put into national banks throughout the
country about 100000 in order to main
tain the financial equilibrium.
"A financial condition." declared Mr..
Teller, which requires to be bolstered up
by the treasury department is bad
condition"
Mr. Teller thought 1t unwise to be ex-
perlmenting In our finances when we were
very well off at present.
Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire inter
rupted Mr. Teller to say that one ques-
tion which seemed to make the adoption
or rejection of the pending bill n moral
question was the probable destruction of
values In silver countries.
Mr., Teller had not concluded his re-
marks when he suspended for the day. The
Senate then adjourned.
