Report Of Mo.dnv.s Fighting From Boer
Sources. &
BO1R HEAD LAAaER, Ladysmith,
Tuesday. Feb. B.-Since yesterday the
British, with naval and other guns,
have bombarded our positions on the
Upper Tugela- The troops crossed the
river Ut the pent and at Molen drift,
with the object Of storn,ing our posi-
tiuns- At the former General Burger
beat them back and they recrossed in
great confusion.
The fighting continues at Molen drift
with the Standerton and Johannesburg
oon1nandos. There were no casualties
On onr side.
The oaznonade was the feroest vet
experienced. There was q continuous
roaring an day long. This morning it
recommended with an increased num-
Der of guns.
Further reports Of yesterdays fight
ing at the Upper Tugela river show that
the British lost heavily at Pont drift,
but took ;an important position on q
small kopje on the Molen drift side.

DISCUSSED THE TREATY..

Eoreiga Rea.eions Committee Considers
tho Hay-PauDcefote Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The senate
committee On foreign relations met to
consider the Nicaragua canal treaty.
Tho discussion was animated. While
some opposition was manifested it was
not of such character as to indicate the
defeat Of the treaty; but that it would
be amended there seemed to be little
doubt. One Of the amendments pro-
posed is that the whole Of the Clayton
Bu1wer treaty shall be abrogated. It is
said by members of the committee ia
voring this change that there is no need
of keeping alive any portion Of the old
treaty. Another change suggested is in
regard to the protection Of the canal.
The treaty declares there shall be no
Notifications and it is said this will pre-.
vent the United States from erecting
batteries which are by some considered
absolutely necessary in view of the in
su1uections that occur from time to time
in South American countries. It's pos
sible that this language will be modified
SO that such protection as the United
States deems necessary will be afforded
along the route of the canal.

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 8. The supreme coun.
Gil of the National Grain Growers AS
sociation Of America is in session in the
Office Of J. Q. Hanley, the secretary and
treasurer, in the Baltimore block. Pres
ident M. P. Moran of Graceville, Mimi,
is presiding. Seventeen states are rep
resented, as we'll as Manitoba and Van.
oOuver.
The Hanna Payne shipping bill proved
q bone of contention. The majority en-
dorsed the position taken by J. j. Hill.
Other matters for consideration were
the proposal that a feet Of grain carry
ing vessels be built for the Mississippi
and that New Orleans be made . point
Of wheat export, with terminal elevators
on the river below the point Of difficult
navigation.
1t was also noted that there will be
held in R4x4A July to 18, an interna-
tional conference Of the agricultural So
cieties Of the world, Of which DR.. Ruh-
land of Switzerland Is the moving spirit
abroad. There viii be considered ways
and means to reduce the wheat acreage
of the world 20 per cent to enhance the
price. The desired point is 81 a bushel
in New York, which would make the
average price for the farmer in the. con
ter of tho wheat belt ~ cents.

BICKFoRD ON THE STAND.

Contradicts Much Of the Evidence Of the
Clark Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Walter NJ.
Bickford was practically the only wit
ness before the senate committee ON
elections in the Clark investigation. He
was one of Senator Clark's special
friends in the last Montana senatorial
campaign. Mr.. Bickford contradicted
much Of tho testimony Of Speaker Stin,
Senator Myers, Representative Sullivan,
DR.. Ector, Mr.. Cowen and others. He,
however, admitted rendering to DR..
Ector 81, 900 with which to lift the in
debtedness Of Representative Woods Of
Rovelli county, saying that he had not
intended that Mr.. Woods should know
Of his doing this. and his only purpose
was to control the debt so that the DAILY
people could not get hold Of it and thus
force Woods into voting contrary to his
inclinations. He received the money
from Senator Clark's son and when it
was not accepted for Mr.. Woods by DR..
Ector he had returned it to Mr.. Clark.

LONDON, Feb. 8.-A dispatch from
The Daily Telegraph correspondent at
Spearmans camp, dated Monday, says.
"Under direction Of General Bnller
the attack ON the .Boer position was be-
gun this marning by nearly the whole
of our batteries-12 guns-shelling the
ridges whene the enemy have their
trenches and redoubts, on the Brakfon-
tein and the how crest facing Potgieters
drift. The enemy suffered severely.
Several hills were smoking like volca-
noes from the effects of the lombard
ment, which set on fire their stores and
the grass. =.
'The demonstration having gained its
effect the real attack upon the Boer left
was delivered at 4o'clock. The Dur
ham light infantry carried Vaal Krantz,
the key Of the lower ridges, while Gen
eral Hildyard's brigade assailed the
higher ridges. The general and his
troops are bivouacking upon the field Of
battle"

sition taken by M af Vaal Krants. The
attack was made at the northern end Of
the kopje and at first was successful.
Reinforcements were, however, hurried
up and the British recaptured the posi-
ton at the point Of the bayonet aud ad.
vanced along the ridge.
''The work accomplished so far has
been magnifcently done. The shell and
Maxim fire poured in by the Beers has
been extremely severe, but our losses
are, comparatively speaking, small. The
Durham light infantry took few pris.
0ners in the course of their charge.
s'The enemy. AZ usual, fought with
the utmost stubbornness. Their posi-.
ton consisted Of a line Of kopjes extend.
ing three miles from Spion kop and
curving sharply at the eastern end to
the south about opposite Zwarts kop."

After the meeting the members seemed

things had taken and the prospect of q
satisfactory adjustment. The govern.
ment has received the proposals Of
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching Of
fering indemnity and guarantees for
the future, and they have been accept
ed in good faith.
The cabinet considered that the Obi.

/ to make proper reparation as well as Of
fering to provide against repetition of
the disorders, had placed itself in the
proper position and had opened the

lister Conger.

BERLIN, Oct. 90.-The joint note Of
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching has
not created a good impression in gov
eminent circles here. The general i'm
preston is that tho note reads more
like conditions imposed by the con.
queror than the reverse.
Baron Mumm Won Schwarzenstein,
the German minister to China, will ar.
rive in Peking in few days.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
will be informed formally Of the condi.
tions upon which the powers have
agreed. Germany takes the view, how.
ever, that such a declaration by the
powers could not be considered the
commencement Of negotiations, as such
a step as negotiating would only be
possible after the removal Of all doubt
that Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
are fully empowered by the Chinese
imperial court.
Statements have appeared in the
press charging that the Chinese i'm.
perial ediot degrading Prince Tuan was
a forgery. The German foreign Office
leans to the belief that it was genuine.

In her report as superintendent of
Indian schools Miss Reel emphasizes
the vital Importance of teaching the
homemaking duties to every Indian
girl, claiming this to be even more es-
sential than the teaching Of trades to
the boys. AS almost the only way Of
reaching the homes Of the camp In
dams is through the girls school and
rs they are to be the future wives'and
mothers the fate of the generations to
come Is in large measure in their
keeping. Therefore the opportunity for
training them in the duties Of their fu-
turc state should not be neglected.
Since her appointment 20 months ago
she has spent II months in the field,
inspecting the schools and ascertaining
by personal observation the needs Of
the Indians and the service. She re-
ports increased enrolment, better &C.
commodations, greater facilities for in
dustrial training and gratifying Inn
provements over previous. years. A
strong plea Is made for compulsory ed
ucatiOn.
