Washington, Feb. 24.--When the
house met at IL o'clock this morning
to resume consideration of the Puerto
Rican tariff bill 40 few members were
present that Payne and Richardson,
the Republican and Democratic leaders,
had to have hasty consultation to find
some body who was ready to talk on the
bill. After five minutes search, Rich

in opposition to the bill. He held that
Puerto Rico was as much a part of the

court the city won a complete victory.
The plaintiff carried the case up charg-
ing Judge McCarty with error in his
charge and the verdict against the
eight of the evidence. On all points
the circuit court found no error and the
common pleas judgment was sus-
tained.
Judge Douglass then left for home
and Judge vorhees finished the render
ing of decisions.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
The case of George D. Harter Bank ct
al. VS.. Jennie T.. Barrie ct al came up
on appeal. Mrs Barrie held a cognovit
note against the Handy Wagon Co.
She took judgment on the note for $1,170
and levied on the factory. The bank
tried to have the judgment set aside so
all creditors would get chance at the
assets of the company. Judge McCarty
found no fraud nor collusion in the
judgment and decided in favor of Mrs.
Barrie. Circuit court sustained the
judgment of the lower court.
CASE REVERSED.
The case of Ada f. Coates VS.. Mat
thew Early, trustee of Lamborn and
Gray, came into circuit court on error.
Amos Coates had been sued by Early
on an account. The case was referred
to a referee and Coates gave bond for
costs. Mrs. Coates was on the bond.
The case was settled out Of court and
a journal entry filed and approved by
Judge McCarty, taxing costs of $67
against Mrs. Coates. She claimed not
to have been consulted in the settlement
and took the case to circuit court. The
circuit court held that the bond made
by Coates to secure costs was unauthor-
lied, unnecessary and unlawful, and
therefore reversed the decision of the
lower court and dismissed the petition.
Mr.. Welty gave notice that the case
would be taken up.
Court was then adjourned till Monday
at l o'clock.

London, Feb. 24-London is full oi
rumors of British victories in the
Orange Free State and Natal, but there
is no news. A Capetown correspon-
dent of the Evening News wiring under
date of Feb 20, says he h sars that Gen
erals Butler and White have Joined
forces.
A dispatch from Natal dated yester-
day says it is reported there that the
Beers at Paardeberg have surrendered
after losing 1,7OO men, including Gen
,eral Cronje. The rumor also has it the
Kitchener was wounded. A curious
feature Of these rumors is the fact that
each eminates from opposite sides Of
the country from which the reported
event had occurred. Amazement mixed
with admiration vies with anxiety over
the way Cronje is holding out. 1t is evil
dent that Roberts and Kitchener must
crush Cronje soon or loose the whole ad-
vantage they have gained by surround
ing him.
Pretoria dispatches indicate that Boer
reinforcements are pouring into Bloem-
fontein. Commander Dewet wires Pre-
toria from Petrusberg, which is fifteen
miles south east of Cronje's position,
that he expected a big fight on We'd
nesday and it appears from this that
Dewet commands a body of reinforce
ments which Roberts has not tackled.
The longer Cronie lasts the more diff
culties can be thrown in the way Of his
(Roberts) advance on Bloemfontein and
not the least Of these will be the en-
thusiasm inspired by the heroism of
Cronjes resistance and possible sacri-
flee.
General Butler at last accounts was
fighting his way toward Ladysmith
north Of the Tugela, and the impress
sion prevails that big battle has been
fought, or is now in progress between
Warren's division and the Beers in the
passes near Peters. which is half way
between Colenso and Ladysmith.
