AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.
Gen. Greedy Attacked by a Ruffiau
and Seriously Intured-UncOn-
hciOus for an Hour.

Washington, Jan. S.--Gen. A. W
Greedy, chief signal officer of the arm,
and the wellknown Arctic explorer
| lies in a serious condition at his HON,
in this city, as the result of an as
sault committed on him about half.
past eight o'clock last night by Joseph
| c. Furnace, Il messenger in the EN-.
ploye of the Adams Express Co.
Yesterday Furnace, who lives in
Baltimore, Nd, in company with Il
friend named George Murphy, spent
the day in Washington drinking, until
late in the afternoon, when they start
ed for disreputable portion of the
town. They lost their way and finally
reached the northwestern portion of
the city beyond the state, war and
navy departments.
They first tried to get admittance to
the residence of E. ID. King, but being
unable to do so, continued ON their
way up G street.
Twice they went to the house OF
Gen. Greedy. The first attempt TO OBJ
tain admission was made as s1tci,d
of the family calling to pay visit to
the daughter of the general. Later they
made another effort, and persisted in
ringing the doorbell and otherwise Gre
ating disturbance, until finally Gen.
Greedy came out to eNpostulate with
them. They refused to leave the house.
and after some words, Furnace seized
the general and threw him down the
long fight of steps which ascend from
the pavement to the house, which
stands on high terrace. The fall cut
a severe cash in the back of the gem
erals head.
He was picked up and taken into the
house, and medical aid was summoned,
He remained unconscious for about an
hour.
Murphy, who was with Furnace. took
no part in the assault, but when he
saw what his companion had done,
took to his heels and ran away. Fur
mace is young man, 30 years of age,
and his run for the express company |
is between Baltimore and Cincinnati. |
He offers no excuse for his act. He
was arrested and locked up in the DO
ice station.
Late last night physicians attending

Sketch of His Life.

Gen. Michael J. Bulger, who died in Dade- vile yesterday at the age of 100 years, was the oldest man who had ever held high military rank in America, was the oldest surviving officer of the Creek war. of the Mexican war, and oldest surviving officer or private of the war between the States
 This unexampled combination of facts makes of the venerable soldier who now passes away the most remarkable figure in American military annals.
 General Bulger was born in South Caro- lima in the last year of the eighteenth cen tury, and dies amid the Tallapoosa hills of Alabama in the last year of the nineteenth century-a marvellous span of life, marked by events more thrilling than all those that came into the lives of thousands of long lived men as this poor earth's pale history runs. This man was born at the time when Washington began its eistence as the capi- tai of a country which had less thar, 5, ,000,- 900 inhabitants, and he dies when the great officers of 76,000,0OO people are celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the na-

BRITISH SUFFER SEVERE DEFEAT
 AND HAVE FIVE OFFICERS KILLED

Lord Kitchener also reports thar the Bo- CTS made an attack and were repulsed at Lichtenburg, and that General Lettmer was kiled
 Attacks upon Bethlehem and Vrede were also repHised, the Boers losing ten killed and fourteen wounded. Vryheid was att tackled December Il. Sniping continued when the message was dispatched.
 The scenes at the War Office today recall those witnessed in the early stage of the war, constant stream of excited people filled the Hobbies, all seeking details of the disaster. The absence of the names of any of the officers of the Northumberland Flu sileers in General Kitchener's dispatch leads to the foreboding that the four com panies of the Fusileers mentioned are in the hands of the Beers.
 The War Office officials evidently expect a heavy casualty list, but they are hopeful from the fact that the di pa tch does not mentipnAEthe capture of he Northumber- lands, that such great catastrophe has been escaped.
 Orders were issued at Aldershot Malta and dther military .centers to dispatch all the available mounted infantry to South Africa.

London, December 4.-Lord Kitchener re- ports that after severe fighting at Nooit- gedacht General Clements forces were compelled to retire by Commandant De- larey with force of 250O men. Five Brit ish officers were killed The other casual ties were not reported.
 Lord Kitcheners official dispatch to the war office is as follows:
 Pretoria, December 13.T-Clements' force at Nooitgedacht, on the Magaliesburg, was attacked at dawn today by Dearey, rein forced by Beyers' commando from Warm bath, making a force estimated at 2500. Though the first attack was repulsed, the Boers managed to get on top of the Ma galiesburg, which was held by four com panies of the Northumberland Fusileers, and were thus able to command Clements camp. He retired to Hekpoort and took up a position on a hill in the center of the valley.
 "The casualties have not been completely reported, but the fighting was were severe, and I deeply regret that Colonel Legge, of the Twentieth Hussars, and Captains Mac Bean, Murdock and Atkins were killed. Re- Achievements have left here."

SECRETARY HAY WILL NOT RESIGN

Washington, December 14.-After report- ing to the Senate in executive session today the new amendments to the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty as made by the committee op foreign relations, Senaor Lodge made an effort to have day set for the taking of a vote upon the treaty. He suggested next Thursday as the generally acceptable time, but Senator Mason made objection and when he withdrew 1t Senator Money sug. gested that Senator Morgan had given no. tice that he would ask that the vote upon the treaty should be postponed until vote could be secured upon the Nicaraguan Ca- nal bill. Senator Morgan, however. said he was not disposed to make that contention any longer because he did not wish to do anything that would lead Great Britain to conclude that this country desires to take a threatening position. Senator Butler then entered objection to fixing time for a vote. Senator Lodge said that In view of the position taken he should press the treaty upon the attention of the Senate early from today until Monday because of the refusal to allow day to be named fop a vote. -.-.z.-., Aside from these incidents and the re- porting of the new amendments suggested

 Diplomatic Methods.
 Senator Culberson spoke for the adoption of tactics similar to those outlined by the Money resolution, which provides for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by diplomatic methods He said that he fn fho nia f.t get rid of a compact so objectionable to American ideas as is the Clayton Bulwer treaty. He thought 1t entirely competent for this country to pass the Hepubrn canal bill and proceed with the canal indepen- dent of all treaties
 Senator Spooner combatted the arguments of MT Culberson. He favored the canal and believed the United States should have the right to foritfy and defend 1t, but he could not accept the view that we should proceed with that great work in total dis regard of the existence of the agreement of 1850. Great Britain, he said, Is a friendly power, and he would not consent to any ruthless proceedings.
 Senator Lindsay spoke for the ratifca- tion of the treaty without further amend- ment.
 Senator McCumber also favored ratifica- tion of the treaty without amendment.
