1t is stated that in connection with
the building of the short line between
Denver and Cripple by the Colorado &
Southern will come the building of re
duction works on the Platte river near
the mouth of the canon, from fifteen to
twenty-one miles from Denver. The
reason for the location at this point is
that 1t is expected to use the power gen

with little additional work to do TO
bring the immense pressure of water
dkectly against the turbines. The wa
ter company. it is said. has been adj
vised by electrical engineers. that the
difficulties in the way of transmitting
high power currents all the fOrty-eight
miles from the dam to Denver are so
great that il will be impracticable for
the company to offer rates which can
compete with steam plants already in
stalled in the city. From the dam to
the mouth of the canon is only two
miles-within the limit of successful
power transmission. The ore reducing
plants could not be located i'm the can
on. because of the lack of dumping
grounds. and the great difficulty of dis
posing of the water from the teaching
watts without polluting the water supply
of the city.

fantry crossed the drift and for three
hours We're engaged with the enemy,

Unable to withstand our Calling fire,

of the way and took up Il second posi-
ton on the kopies to the eastward. 1t
was a magnificent spectacle TO see the
Boer army thus ut bay. Their rear
guard, 1000 strong. fought us. while
the main body trekkcd further east and
then brought their guns into action.
while the rear guard retired.
The action lasted throughout the
day. Our infantry fought splendidly,
but the enemy held his ground under
the continued bombardment. Later OH
the Bocr commander ventured on Il
bold stroke. Leaving 1000 of his men
under cover, he Withdrew the rest from
his main position and headed for Kip
Kraal drift, six miles 10 the east.
This movement was soon discov-
cred. Our mounted infantry came back
across the drift and marched along the
south bank TO endeavor to head Off the
enemy. When they reached the neigh
borhood of Kip Kraal drift night had
fallen and half the Beers were already
across TO the south side. Our mounted
infantry harrassed their movements.
Meanwhile the Boer rear guard

House Votes to Strike Pneumatic Tube
Section From Postofiice Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The house
put it's heel upon the mail pneumatic
system now in operation in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, and if it's ac-
ton stands the whole service will be
crushed out. The postoffice committee
had recommended nm increase of the
appropriation for this service from
e225, 900 to s725,OoO. The proposed in
crease was attacked by the appropria-
tions committee under the leadership of
Mr.. Moody (Mass.) with such vigor
and success that in the end the house
!, voted by 70 to so to strike the entire ap-
preparation from the bill. Mr.. Moody
created q sensation by the manner in
which he assailed the methods Of the
pneumatic tube company and the direct
charge that a former member of con.
gress who had been a member OF the
appropriations committee had been a
holder Of the stock of the company. He
charged that block of stock had been
sent as New Years gift to a near rela-
tive Of another member Of congress, but
to the credit of the member he said the
dishonoring gift had heen returned to
the sender by the next mail. Although
the tube service was highly commended
by other members these revelations
transformed the sentiment Of the house,
which has several times voted for the
tube service, into decisive majority
against its continuation in any form.
