sentative Wheeler OF Kentucky, tho
author of the resolution OF inquiry
which was adopted By the house, has
had long conference with ex.Conr

gresham Wheeler refused TO disclose
the information impaired TO him by
Mr. Maerum on the ground that tho
facts placed In his possession by the
ex-consul were given to him in strict
confidence. 1t was stated. however,
by Congressman Wheeler that the

London, February 2o.-General Butler
apparently is contenting himself with
Smelling the Beers from his newly-gained
position at Monte Christie, which, accord

Monday says all is quiet in z1luland and
the Beers main bodies are reported to be
retiring upon Dundee and Helpmaakai,
leaving small forces and two pieces of ar
tllery at each magistracy. According to
a special dispatch from Tarkastadt, a
refugee arrived there says the Beers are
5000 strong at Stormberg but at Burgers
dorp they have only small town guard.

Major Van 2raa% Gives Ihe Town q
Gratif,inG Surprise by BcSinning
W0Iil Without Trumpet Blasts,
and He with His Own Hands
Threw the First AhovsIfui of
Dirt.
A small party of citizens, includ-
ing Il RET resentative of THE NEWS,
at the invitation of Major ). n. Van
Praag, president of the Pensacola &
Northwestern Railroad Company,
went out to the north end of Olivia,
or A street, this morning to witness
the interesting though simple cere-
mony Of breaking ground, for the
first time in this county, on the
grading line of the new road.
The point chosen for :he com
mencement Of the work of grading
was at the summit of the hill on
Olivia street directly west of the
Clapp tract and north of a large
square owned by Hon. w. A. BlOunt,
a bout on the corner of 18th and Olivia
streets. Exactly as the court house
clock was striking twelve, Major
Van Praag threw the first shovel
full of dirt from the top of the deep
cut that will be cut through the
hill, with Surveyor Lee and his as
siStants, the invited guests and the
force of hands standing in group
about him.
The initial force, which thus in a
modest way began this great work
within the borders OF E5cambia
county, Will be increased as rapidly
a possible, and the work is expected
To proceed without interruption
until the grading of this portion of
