BUTLER REPORTS THAT THE ENG
LISH ARE NOW OCCUPYING
COLENSO.
British Forces Take and Hold Hang
wane Hill, on Boer Right-British
Territory Being Rapidly Abandon
ed by the Beers, Who Are Concen-
trating on Their Own Land.

London, Feb. 2l.-The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
on British territory and concentrating
for a defense of their own. Sir Red
vers Butler thinks they are about to
raise the siege Of Ladysmith, and this
is the large news Of the day. General
Clements reports the force confronting
him has been greatly diminished. Ten
thousand men are estimated to have
gone from the Colesburg district alone.
The Beers are also retracing their
steps from Zululand. Thus they are
relaxing their hold on all sides in Or
der to assemble to oppose Roberts.
He is pressing on steadily towards
Bloemfontein. Doubtless he is not
many miles behind the column that is
pursuing the Beers, and the next impor-
tant news may be the occupation of
Bloemfontein..
Nothing has been heard from the
chase of Cronje for two days. Although
the last words of the war office tonight
were there is no news for publication,
there is a strong disposition to believe
that favorable information has been re-
ceived. but is being withheld until the
operations eliminate in something
more conclusive. There is equally a
strong disposition to think Cronje has
got away.
Owing to the lack of transportation
the British are not likely to invade
Boer territory except where Lord Rob-
erts is operating. Butler will have to
stop at the ~Drakensburg mountains.
Probably a part of his 40, 900 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord
Roberts. If, as Butler AYERS, the Beers
are retiring from him, then the news
on every side Is favorable to the Brit
ish. Nevertheless troops continue to go
up.
The war office thinks the call to the
veterans to rejoin the colors, together
with the bounty, will bring 4 5000 men
to the home defense. The urgency
with which the home defense is press
ed excites some wonder. With the cas-
ualties just reported, the British loss
in killed, wounded and captured now
aggregates II ,102.

London, Feb. 20.-The following dis
patch has been received at the war Of
flee from General Butler:
Blows Farm, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 4:1O
p. m.-The Fusilier brigade yesterday
took Hlangwane hill, the right of the
enemy's position and commanding Col
enso, the rest of the force advancing to-
wards the Tugela. This morning the
enemy has withdrawn all the troops
north of the Tugela and had practically
evacuated Colenso. Today General
Hart occupied Colenso after a very
slight resistance by a weak rear guard,
and we hold the line of the Tugela on
the south side from Colenso to Eagles
Nest. The enemy seems to be in full
retreat, and apparently are only hold
ing the position they occupy across the
Colenso-Ladysmith railway, where it
is close to the angle of the Tugela, with
a weak rear guard. Harris advance
guard is crossing at Colenso. Our cas-
ualties yesterday and today have, l
hope, been few"

DlSSUAOED FROM SUICIDE.

AN Arkansas country store keeper OF
my acquaintance had II bad attack Of
melancholy about year ago. said u

10 commit suicide He put pistol TO
his head and pulled the trigger, but
the cartridge failed to explode, and be-
fore hc could try II again the weapon
was taken away. However, nc swore
hC would do the deed the first chance
hc got, and he was no doubt really OF
that intention when he was talked out
of 1t 10y u little itinCrant preacher who
was reformed gambler. The argu-
mcnt used by the parsOn was so pccul-
lar and ingenious that II made deep
impression on my mind. You know
you would be n dead man. he said as

for the fact that there was defective

They calculate at the manufactory
that there Is possibly one 10 the quar-
ter million turned out. The chance Of
that bad cartridge being In the boXful
that you bought for your gun was not
over one 10 another quarter million,
the chance of your getting hold OF II
when you loaded was exactly | 10 90
and the chance of ii being under the
hammer was | To =. That makes the
total odds | To 5OO,055.'
at that point the little preacher sud
denly Strengthened up, his eyes flashed
fire, his chest expanded, and he shook
his forCHngcr under the storckcepcrs
nose. You miserable sinner he roar
ed, do you imagine for n minute that
the Lord would have given you that
kind of odds and let you win out on
the play If he hadn't got some good
and special use for your life? Don't
let me ever hear of you trying TO block

TIE business men and merchants

threats that patronage Of members of

chants advertised in the programs
and finding also that in many cases
the organizations derived but little
financial benefit therefrom, they gen
orally being in the hands of outsiders
who swallowed the largest share of
the profits-have formed an associa-
ton, the members of which arc
pledged not to patronize programs,
save in such isolated worthy cases,
as, after careful inquiry into circum-
stances. their secretary shall recon-
mend. The matter of advertising in
these publications is a vexing subject
