Butler IL Once More Advancing On
Ladysnith.

Butler IL Once More Advancing On
Ladysmith.
LONDON, Feb. s.-Advices from
Gpearman's camp confirm the rumor
that fighting has been renewed by
Butler. At an early hour on Monday
morning his forces crossed the Tugela
at Potgieter's drift and advanced by
way of Vaal Krantz. The infantry
was protected by nearly all of the bat
teries-seventy-two guns Smelling the
ridges where the Beers were entrench-
ed. The British succeeded in taking
Vaal Krantz, the key of the lower
ridges. The Boer fire then became so
hot that further progress was impos-
sible. Tuesday the Beers tried to re-
take Vaal Krantz, but were beaten
back with loss. The dispatches say
'there is not the slightest likelihood
that the Beers will dislodge us from
the positions we have gained, and the
prospects of the relief OF Ladysmith
are decidedly hopeful"
LONDON, Feb. s.-A special dispatch
from Spearman's camp, dated Wednes-
day, Feb. 2, says: "Our further adj
vance is at the moment prevented, as
the Beers enfilade us from their pos
itions on Spion kop and Doorm kloof.
Our casualties, although estimated at
$50, are tri1ing considering the great
inheritance of the movement lust con-
cluded."

nasis Of the American Opposition to the
S%s At Hsy-Psuncefots Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The OPPOSE
ton to the ratification by the United
States senate of the Anglo-Amcrican
Nicaragua treaty, negotiated by Sec
setary of State Hay and Ambassador
Pauncefote, centers on article and
section 2 of article 2. The former re-
huires that the United States shall pay
Tor the construction Of the canal,
while the latter prohibits this nation
from fortifying the water way. The
text of these provisions follows:
Article Lit is agreed that the can
ii may be constructed under the aus.
pices of the government of the United
States, either directly ut its own cost
Or by gift or by loan Of money to In
dividuals or corporations, or through
subscription to or purchase of stocks
or shares, and that, subject to the pro-
visions of the present convention, the
said government shall have and enjoy
oil the rights incident to such con.
struction, as we'll as the exclusive right
of providing for the regulation and
management of the canal.
. Article 2, section mo fortifica-
tions shall be erected commanding the
canal or the waters adjacent. The
United States, however, shall be at
liberty to maintain such military po-
lice along the canal as may be neces-
sary to protect it against lawlessness
and disorder.
In order thoroughly to insure the
naturalization of the canal, article 3
provides that 1.-THE high contracting
parties will, Immediately after the ex-
change Of the notifications of this con-
vention, bring it to the notice OF the
other powers, and invite them to adj
here to It," Ratification, article 4,
provides, shall be exchanged between
tho United States and Great Britain
within six months.

kentucky Republicans Ask for Restrain

CINCINNATI, G., Feb. 9.-Judge viii.
liam H. Taft, who has just been ap-
pointed as president of the new Phil
ippine commission, has given notice to
counsel that on next Monday at p.
m. he will hear arguments on the petit
ton of the state officers of Kentucky,
other than governor and lieutenant
governor, for restraining order
against the three members Of the Ken
lucky state board of election commits.
sioners and the contestants for state
offices other than governor and lieu
tenant governor. The legislature in
Kentucky hears and decides contests
for governor and lieutenant governor,
but the contest for other state Offices
come before the state board of election
commissioners, sitting as q contest
board, and in which said board has
final jurisdiction. This petition for an
injunction against the present state
board of election commissioners and
the democratic contestants for minor
state offices, is therefore not one affect
ing Governor Taylor and Lieutenant
Governor Marshall, and will not con-
lict with the conferences fc-5en agree

His Advance Post Subject to Boer Cross
Fire.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-All the messages
from the observers with General Butler
throw in phraze or two about "the
strength of the Boer positions" and
'sthe difficulties of General Buffers
work" but they do not carry events
beyond Tuesday evening. Their last
slender narratives leave the British
on Vaal Krantz, in the center of q
semi-circle, where the troops arc ex-
posed to the Boer artillery on both sides
and in the center. The fighting con-
tinued until Tuesday evening and
almost without doubt continued We'd
nesday, as the Beers would certainly
not leave this wedge in their lines un.
molested. 1t is also inferred that Gen.
eral Butler must either continue his
advance or retire.

The wool season has been fast and successful. About 500.000 pounds of wool already have been shipped, all of it sent to Brown X Adams of Boston. The shipments, representing about twenty carloads. have left Phoenix, Mesa and Mayer and not until the season in southern Arizona is over will shearing commence in the north.

to bed without having gone out for a
walk. The next morning when he got
up he looked out and the tide was in,
the water coming up close to the hotel.
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and. throwing up his hands
