 The Boers are trying to form brigade or drift across Kip river, south of Umbul- wana evidently for the purpose of permit ting the passage of wagons and artillery in their retirement from Colenso. Our guns are preventing this work from being car ried on."

THE DELEGATES
 GIVEN A HEARING Rivers and HarborS Committee
 Was Deeply Impressed BOWR0N MADE A FINE TALK The Members Express Themselves as Being Satisfied With the Outlook Appropriation Will Probably Be
 Made Next Session
BOWRON MADE A FINE TALK

Washington, February N.-(Special)- The house river and harbor committee to-day heard the Alabama delegation urg- ing the improvement of the Warrior river and Valley river.
 The committee was composed of J. A. Van Hoose, James Bowron, first vice presi- dent Tennessee Coal and Iron company; s. Steiner, General E. w. Rucker. all from Alabama; and MT. Challfoux, Lowell Mass, who is largely interested in Alabama in dustries.
 Representatives Underwood, Bankhead, Taylor, Clayton, accompanied the commit- tee. The rivers and harbors committee was deeply impressed with the arguments ad- vanced by Mir. Van Hoose and MT. Bowron, more so, 1t seems than in any hearing this year.
 The committee outlined a scheme for the expenditure of four and half million dol lars to open navigation at slack water to within forty miles of Birmingham by thir- ty foot barges, drawing six feet.
 The plan contemplates twenty-one locks and dams from Valley river to Warrior river, and seven down the Warrior river to Tuscaloosa. While no river or harbor bill this season seems probable the bill next session will make sufficient appropriation to proceed with the work. The committee was greatly satisfied with their treatment and the result of the nearing. They called on Senators Morgan and Pettus afterwards, accompanied Joy MT. Underwood.

Offensive Tactics Abandoned

Calcutta, February N.-Lord Curzeon, the viceroy, at a dinner given this evening at the government house, said: General Cronie marked the close of the offensive operations of the war. The enormous over whalming British force has compelled the abandonment of offensive tactics and the beginning of the defense"
 ''aow long will the Boers be able to de- fend their country?'
 That is impossible to say. I am not a military man. I am informed, however, by men who are competent strategists, that Pretoria is impregnable. The remainder Of the war between England and the South African republic will be less dramatic and will be of long duration."

Rudyard Kipling's first piece Of sus-
tanned work since his illness last year
turns out to be a series Of humorous
animal stories which are said to show
all the freshness aud zest Of q man who
has had a long rest. Kipling loves to
write an animal story better than any
thing else, and when his physicians
allowed him to return to work he in
stinctively turned to this series which
he had had in mind for years. There
arc nine stories, aud each n is supposed
to tell the Origin Of the most conspicuous
part of the animal portrayed. Thus, in
"The Elephants Child" be tells a most
droll story of how the elephant happened
to get a trunk, and in THE Sing Song Of
Old Man Kangaroo" he gives the history
Of how the kangaroo got his long legs,
for, MI. Kipling says there was a time
when elephants had no trunks, add
k~angaroos' legs were not as long as they
are now. The stories, it is said.
show Mr.. Kipling at his very best.
They are expressively funny and have
that rare quality Of appealing to old as
we'll as young, The author has sent the
entire series to The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, and that magazine will begin their
publication in its next issue.

John M. Morrison has sold his 100. acre
ranch near Aztec to Captain Thomas v.

THE PORT STEPHENS
ARMY TRANSPORT
NOW HERE DESCRIBED
She is a British Steamer Of Fast Tramp
Class---HaS Good Arrangements
for the Carrying Of
Animals.

The Port stephens now In port Is
| Uncle Sans largest horse transport in
the Pacific ocean. She Is capable NJ
carrying 500 horses or mules ana hai
been In the employ of the United States
Government for is months. This is
her fourth through trip to Manila and
when these horses are delivered snr
Will have transported over 1000 ami.
mails from the Mainland to the Phillip
pines with loss not exceeding one per
cent.
The Port stephens is British vessel
owned by VIM. Milburn of London aud
Is chartered to the United States Gov
erGmont at cost Of 500 per day
which includes the care of the animals.
The remarkably small loss of life Ia
evidence Of fine appointments of the
vessel for the work she Is chartered for.
There are three decks Of stalls. one Of
which Is below the water line. In order
to insure perfect sanitary conditions
there are two large fans revolved by
electric motors one of which draws the
foul air by suction, through a pipe con-
nected with each stall, discharging It
above the upper deck while the other
fan draws fresh air from above aud
discharges II to each stall in the three
decks. Tn ecirculation OF pure air Is

The transport Port Stephens is under
command of L. S. Quartermaster Lieut..

are all English and under command of
Capt. Gray. The officers are: First off,
Ger Il. Huston; I'd officer. J. McGlasten:

The Port stephens was employed for
seven months in the Philippines in
cavalrytroops between the
Islands. The horses were placed In
the stalls while the men we're requir-
ed to sleep on deck without discom-
fort in the warm nights of the tropics.
The Port stephens encountered Sc
we're weather on the voyage from San
Francisco but did not lose any horses
from this cause although three animals
died from sickness and were buried
at sea. The vessel Is of the class ~
fast tramp steamers capable of making
ten knots. The fact that the Unitcl
States Government is compelled to
charter British steamers for transport
service Is evidence of the limitations
Of American shipping. when 1t costs
