ATTACK ON GEN. GREELY.
Famous Arctic Explorer Victim of n
Serious Assault.

Famous Arctic Explorer Victim of n
Serious Assault.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Gen. A. w.
Greedy, the chief signal officer of the
army and the well known Arctic explorer,
lies in a serious condition at his home,
No. 1914 G street northwest, as the re-
suit of an assault committed on him
about half past o'clock tonight by Jo-
seph G. Furnace, messenger in the en-
ploy of the Adams Express company.
Today Furnace, who lives in Baltimore,
in company with a friend named George
Murphy spent the day in Washington,
drinking until late in the afternoon,
when they started for a disreputable por-
ton of the town. They lost their way
and finally reached the northwestern Sec
ton Of the city beyond the state, war and
navy departments. They first tried to get
admission to the residence of E. D. King,
but, being unable to do so, continued
UP G street. Twice they went to the
house of Gen. Greely. The first attempt
to obtain admission was made as a friend
OF the family, calling to pay a visit to
the daughter of the general. Later they
made another effort and persisted in ring
ing the door bell and otherwise creating
disturbance, until finally Gen. Greely
came out to expostulate with them. They
refused to leave the house, and after
some words, Furnace seized the general
and threw him down the long fight Of
steps which ascend from the pavement
to the house, which stands on a high ter
race. The fall cut a severe cash in the
back of the generals head. He was pick
ed up and taken into the house and medi-
cal aid was summoned. He remained un-
conscious for about an hour.
Murphy, who was with Furnace, took
no part in the assault, but when he saw
what his companion had done took to his
heels and ran away Furnace is young
man, twenty-three years of age, and his
run for the express company is between
Baltimore and Cincinnati He offers no
excuse for his act. He was arrested and
locked up in the police station.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. IA new
American banking concern opens here
Monday for business under the title Of
the United States Banking company with
100000 paid in capital. The growth of the
American banking establishment is one
of the most significant signs of the times
here as is the continual augmentation in
volume of American investment. Call
fornia capital is going into the fruit
culture in the states of Vera Cruz and
Oaxaca, under favorable auspices Amer
leans are buying mines and smelters, and
are doing an increasing business, while
American mercantile firms are beginning
to take most creditable share of the
business.
Railways under American management
are doing bigger business than ever, and
during the last few months of the
previous year and beginning of the cur.
rent year have done an immense amount
of traffic. The growth of American
banking facilities only keeps pace with
the progress of American commerce and
Industrial activity here.

the splendid precedent shown by this re-
public in going to war with Spain to free

is with the Beers. and that we are act

urged the United States to carry the flag

gallant Cuban.

HEAVY FIRING.
The Daily Mail has the following, dated
JAN 6, at noon, from Frere Camp:
..At 8 o'clock this morning very heavy
firing began at Lady smith. 1t lasted fully
four hours and must have meant either a
sortie by the British or determined at
tack on the garrison by the Beers. Our
shells could be seen falling on Umbul-

Besides the cannon reports there were
sounds indicating smaller pieces of ar
tillery in action The fighting must have
been at closer range than has been the
case UP to now.

usual fire into the Boer trenches there
but there has been no further movement

from Frere Camp, dated Saturday, Jan.
G, 1926 a. m:
"A very heavy bombardment went on
at Ladysmith from daybreak until this
morning. 1t is believed that an action
was in progress for musketry fire also
was heard. 1t is possible the garrison
was making a sortie, for the Beers at
Colenso hurriedly left their trenches and
rode towards Ladysmith.
"Our big naval gun at Chieveley camp,
fired several rounds at the enemy as
they were leaving their Colenso lines.
Gen Butler has ridden over to Chieveley

There viii. be no revision of the war

of the Fifty-sixth congress- said Con-
gressman Hopkins, of the house ways

There are several reasons for this, the
principal one, and the only one worth re-
ferring to being that the war in the Phil
ippines is not over and we do not know
how long we will have to keep a large
army there. You see we cannot accurate
ly judge of what the actual needs of the
army will be and the only thing to do Is
to let the existing schedule remain
