Day to Day.
SENATE.

Eghtyf q Day.-The Senate has
greed 70 vote on The Porto Rico gov
ernment and tariff Dill next Tuesday
afternoon al 4 o'clock. An important
ut,e9ance was made later In the day on
the bill by Davis, CT Minnesota. He
advocated free trade between the
United States and Porto Rico and
urged that the necessary money 10 be
raised by taxation be by an internal
revenue tax, levied upon rum and to-
bacco produced on the island. This
system, in his opinion. would better
suit .he people OF the United States
and those Of Porto Rico. than the pro-
posed arlff, and would be just. equ!t-
able and constitutional.
Eighty-third Day.-A direct vote
was taken by the Senate on the propo-
sition to strike from the Porto Rico
measure the provision levying fifteen
per cent. of the Dingiey law duties
upon Porto Rico products. The propo-
Eition was defeated by a vote OF l6 TO
| 80.
While the vote is regarded as presag-
| Ing the passage OF the pending measure
it is not regarded as indicating { !e
| final vote on the bill.
The feature of the debate was the
speech OF Mr. Beveridge, OF Indiana
While he advocated reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Porto
Rico. he announced that II all efforts
to secure free trade should fail he
would support the pending bill. The
bill was under discussion throughout
the session. several important amend
ments being agreed 10.

HEAT FROM THE AIR.
Demonstration of u Way to Produce
Commercial Oxygen.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-At dinner given
at the Players Club tonight to Raoul Pic
tit, the Swiss scientist, oxygen was pro-
duced from air by secret process used
for the first time in this country. The
demonstration was made in the presence of
M. Bruwaert, the French consul general;
Edward Sumner. who represented Sir
Thomas Upton, and a lawyer connected
with the General Liquid Air Company. For
the experiment simple apparatus consist
ing mainly of copper tubes was used. At
mosplferic air was taken in at one end, and
at the other oxygen was shown by the pro-
duction of calcium light from the igni-
ton of the gas. Liquid air was employed
in the process. Mr.. Pictit asserts that with
a 50O-horse power plant he can produce
daily 100000 cubic feet of oxygen, 100000
cubic feet of nitrogen and 1000 cubic feet
of carbonic acid gas. The last named prod
uct will pay for the cost of the entire pro-
duction, and oxygen and the nitrogen will
represent the ret profits. AS 1000 cubic feet
of oxygen is estimated TO be equal in heat
ing power to a ton of coal, the process is
considered to be of great value from a
commercial standpoint.

LAST WEEKS OPERATIONS.


- Africa gby Spencer Wilkinson.
LONDON, Feb. A-Spencer wilkinson
summarizing the weeks events in the war
In South Africa tonight, said: ION the
night OF Feb. Is General Cronje marched
out from Magersfontein between General
French. who had just entered Kimberley.
and General Kelly-Kenny, then at Kip
drift, on the Modder river. The next day
General Kelly Kenny pursued him. attacked
his rear guard and delayed him until the
Highland brigade was on it's way to stop
NM on the South bank of the Modder, and
General French could pass him on the
north bank.
After three days running fight Gen.
Cronje was stopped at Koodoesrand, near
Paardeberg, where he was surrounded His
force was between the river banks, which
gave him defensive position facing either
way, so that attacks on him involved heavy
loss, but he was held until, on Tuesday,
Lord Roberts arranged to grip him with
a girde OF infantry in his position, while
cannonading him with fifty guns enfilad-
ing the river bed. In the meantime Lord
Roberts, with a spare division or two be-
yond the three brigades holding Cronje.
set himself to intercept and drive away
Boer reinforcements.
''This was the situation on Wednesday.
and 1t offered a reasonable probability for
the capture of Cronje's force and of the
defeat of any reinforcements. We have
little news beyond Wednesday On Thurs
day the shelling of Cronje was continued
at intervals, continued shelling probably
| involving q too lavish use of ammunition
| The Beers have been giving themselves up
| by ifties day On Tuesday Lord Roberts
drove off reinforcements coming from
| Colesberg and from Natal
"a Berlin report declares that Cronje
| had forced his way through This is i'm
probable, but may refer to a small party
which may have escaped in the night
'Lord Roberts's advance has drawn
away some OF the Boer forces from Coles
berg, Sterkstroom and Natal, as is seen
from the diminished resistance to the Brit
| ish at all those points.
General Butler, after taking Hlangwana
hill. has crossed the Tugela river and.
according to the latest kilograms, has been
| fighting continuously since Thursday
| morning. This looks like decided attempt
to relieve Ladysmith, wherein / expect
| General Butler will succeed If he does not,
f! as before, interrupt his advance by stop
| ping to count his losses and declaring he
| has lost enough. A general has never lost
| enough to Justify the giving up of his en-
| terprise so long as his troops are willing
| to go on with him. Ladysmith can prob
| ably hold out for several weeks longe:,
| and in that time the effect of Lord Rob-
| erts's advance will probably be even more
| marked than 1t has yet been
