LETTER CAPTURED.
Anti-Leland Organization Makes an
Appeal For Funds

The managers of the anti-Leland or
ganization have not made public their
plans. and have been moving in secret
but the Leland managers today have
been exhibiting what is claimed to be
the first letter issued by the chairman
of the association, J. K. Hudson.
This is the first assessment made by
the men who propose to publicly de-
stroy Cyrus Leland. 1t is an appeal
for funds with which to spread the
anti-Leland gospel. Incidentally the
league is helping Frank Elliott, the
Populist editor, to pull Pool Grinstead
out of the hole he has gotten into by
reason Of prosecution for libel against
Leland's friends, with which Mr. Lee
land says he had no connection. The
literature issued by the anti-boss
league, found in one letter follows:

the foreign buying has been large and

Boom For Congressman at Large
Suddenly Collapses.

Grant Hornaday has abandoned his
ambition to be congressman-a t-large
and has quit the race.
When Hornaday. who has been close
ly allied with the friends of Cyrus Lee
land, entered the race for congressman
at-large, it was announced that Dave
Mulvane had executed a clever move
in getting Hornaday into the Burton
camp. But now there is question as
to who got him out
Mr. Hornaday retires by the follow
ing announcement:
To My Friends:
Since announcing my candidacy for
the Republican nomination for con-
gressman-at-large have materially in
creased my holdings of the stock of the
First National bank of this city, of
which have been for several years
cashier, and will, on February l, be-
come its president. the duties of which
position Will forbid the giving of my
time to other than business pursuits
While 1 feel that my business ar
engagements will in the end yield me
more profit and pleasure than would Il
term in congress, l regret very much to
withdraw from the race, especially when
prospects are so bright. However, 1
am pleased to know that my withdraw
al will, to quite an extent, at least, re-
lieVe a number of my close friends from
an embarrassment that otherwise might
be unpleasant to them. 1t has been
claimed by some prominent men in our
party that my candidacy was in the in
terest of certain senatorial aspirants.
which claim l desire to most emphati-
cally deny, and to observe that it does
not seem to me proper that the contest
for senator should enter into the candi-
dacy for every position from governor
down to road overseer, as some would
have it.
Those who have so cordially support
ed me so far desire to sincerely thank,
and to say that am not unmindful OF
their efforts.
Now the politicians want to know if
HOrraday is going to be too busy to
continue as president of the board OF
charities.

New York. Jan. 29.-Judging from the
opinions expressed by leading opera tors,
there Is not much show of immediate i'm
provement in speculative situation. The
problem of the hour is how to get the
public sufficiently interested to buy
stocks. While it is true that activity in
it by no means follows that it foresbad-
ows a broader speculative movement
There are a good many people who pre-
fer to invest their money in railroad
mortgages, paying 8 to 4 per cent rather
than take the risk of buying stocks that
pay a higher rate of interest. Money is
cheap and plentiful and as lower rates
and a more abundant supply of funds are
what investors have been so long crying
for, the demand for bonds should continue
hardening tendency. Nearly all the best
authorities suggest holding off until
something occurs to indicate Just what
to expect There are some strong factors
in the situation as well as some unfaV-
orable ones but above all the apathy of
Leaders of both factors entertain very
positive views to what the markets
do should do, but neither side seems dis
posed to take the initiative. The borrow
ing demand has fallen off quite sharply
during the last few days. a fact that con-
tradicts the statement of a heavily over
sold market. as none of the prominent
bear operators have taken any part in
the market of late. The often repeated
assertion that stocks have been sold to

Spearman's Camp. Friday, Jan. &c.
uary "A "wednesday, when heavy
clouds rested upon the kopjes, the main
point of the Boer position, Tabanyama,
was storned by the British infantry
under General Woodgate. Our force
crossed over a ravine and climbed the
mountain side steadily, getting within
thirty yards of the enemy's first line
of trenches.
The Beers, who had been asleep, de-
camped, leaving everything behind, and
the British, with a ringing cheer,
climbed to the summit
The Beers opened fire from several
points, but it was apparent that they
had been taken completely by surprise
and their resistance was dispirited. The
western crest of the hill was soon won
and the infantry crept along the top
of the hill. At daybreak, however, the
Beers from high point on the extreme
east, sent a whitening fire among the
British, which momentarily staggered
them.
The Beers had the range fixed to a
nicely, and their artillery sent several
shells right to the top of the crest.
forcing the infantry to take cover. A
Boer Nordenfeldt also was worked
with great precision.
The British held the position against
great odds. At 10 o'clock strong rein
forcements were sent up the hill and
advanced in skeleton formation, the en-
envy being driven back to the extreme
point.
