the text of General Buffers dispatch,
received last night:

have Just returned from Ladysmith.
Except a small guard, north of Sur
prise hill. the whole of the enemy
lately besieging the town have retired
in hot haste, and TO the south of the

Lord Lansdowne chose the psyche
logical moment to announce estimates
exceeding e61 200, 900. and rather star
tied the public by unfolding the pro-
gram of the war office to send out, in
addition to the 10000 troops now
afioat. $1,000 fresh soldiers. Lord Rob
erts will ultimately have Il force of Il
quarter of million men.
An order has reached Woolwich for
the construction of 22i new guns, from
luree-pounders to twelve-inch guns. OF
these, 40 are TO be naval guns. Al

at the arsenal and 5000 more will be
engaged. These decisions to send out
more troops and To increase the home

proval.
London. March 2.-Ncvcr since the
news reached England that Sir Colin
Campbell had relieved Lucknow has
there been such scene as London
presented yesterday when the news
that Sir Redvers Butler had entered
Ladysmith was received. Dignity
was thrown to the winds. Everyone
gave himself to dclrious delight that
made the dark city look like Paris in
Mardi Gras.
Butler sent no details. But who
cared for details. The fact was suffi-
cient Ladysmith was relieved and
that was enough. falling on top of
Cronje's surrender, to rouse even the
most phlegmatic of Englshmen.

MoRMoNs MAY REUNITE.
Non-Polygamous Branches May Go Back
to the Mother Church.

to the Mother Church.
Chicago, March "A special dis
patch from Salt Lake City to the Rec
ord says:
An event which is of as great i'm
portance to- the Mormon Chuech as
anything that has taken place since
the colony was first driven from Nau-
VOC to Utah, is about to take place.
This is the absorption by the parent
body of the organizations which split
away from the Mormons just before
the killing of the prophet Joseph Smith
was accomplished. There are more
than 10000 of the seceders.
Nearly all of them belong to what is
known as the ReorganiZed Church Of
the Latter-Day Saints, and they are
specially strong in Missouri. Another
branch is known as the Hedrickites,
so-called because the leader was JOS
eph Hedrick. The Hedrickites number
only a few hundred men and women
Both branches seeded because of the
revelation Joseph Smith claimed to
have had directing him to establish the
doctrine of plural marriage.
Three months ago President Snow,
the head of the church here, with the
possible view, it is said, of influencing
action by Congress in the Roberts case,
issued manifesto forbidding the fur
ther practice of polygamy. People in
Utah did not take the manifesto very
seriously, for proclamations of n sim
liar nature have been made before and
the older MormOns have kept right on
with their polygamous practices.
This latest proclamation, however.
reached the eyes of the reorganized
church and the Hedrickites The lat
ter sent two elders 10 confer with rep
resentatives of the former. and the re-
suit was that commissioners We're sent
to Utah to treat with President Snow
and the twelve apostles with Il view
to securing n coalition.
The commissioners We're given en-
couragement to believe that their mis-
sion would be successful. They were
assured that the practice of polygamy
had ceased in Utah, and that the
church authorities would not counte-
nance its resumption. 4 feature that
is said to have caused temporary sus-
pension of negotiations Is as to the rep
resentation that the dissenters should
have In the apostles quorum and the
first presidency.
1t was insisted by the commissioners
that they should at least be given an
apostle. There are something like
100000 Mormons, and the 10000 seced
ers figured that they should be recog
nized in some material way. This point
remains to be settled, but it is believed
to be only n question of n short time
until the reconciliation will be effected.
The Hedrickites. in particular. hold
club that is likely to have considera-
BILE influence in settling the question
on the side Of the seceders. This club
is in the shape of square of land in
the little town of Independence, Mis-
souri,. The square fell to them when
the main body of the church came
west, and it is a spot hallowed by
Mormon tradition.

 Field Cornet Ernest Emilio was killetI. nor did the generals escape unscathed
 At the central position, Swartkop, where the other road to Ladysmith crosses the hills the British advanced from low koptes on the banks of tine Tugela unmolested. Then they entered the range of the Mauser fire, and, although their naval guns kept up the usual terrible racket, the advance was stopped, and the British had to count out their dead and wounded.
 Commandant Viljoen and two burghers were knocked senseless by an explosion of lyddite, but Commandant Viljoen recover ed. Field Cornet Heilbron was wounded, and on refusing to surrender was shot.
 The British loss was probably insignih- cant. They complain that expansive bull lets in Mausers was found in the field and soft nosed bullets with Lee-Metfords. The Boers admit that the Mausers7 were loaded with the soft-nose1 bullets, but they deny emphatically using expanding bullets.

THE SAMOAN TREATY
The Senate Discusses the Subject in Ex-
 ecutive Session

Washington, January 2S.-The senate in executive session again today discussed the Samoan treaty upon the basis of the mo- tlon of Senator Jones of Arkansas to re- consider the vote by which the treaty was ratified. Speeches were made in support of the motion to reconsider by Senators Jones, Pettigrew Allen and Money and in oppo- Sition by Senators Davis and Foraker. At ~the conclusion of the debate a vote was ordered but roll call disclosed the ab- sence of a quorum.
 The call so far as it went showed eleven for and twenty-two against.
 Senator Jones stated that when the rati- ficatlon of the treaty took place it was the understanding that there was to be no at tempt on the part of the government of the United States to establish civil govern ment in the island of Tutila
 The very next day after the vote of ratl- fication the newspapers had published a very positive statement in exact opposition to this understanding. Apparently this statement was authorized It was to in quire into this and other matters that he had asked for reconsideration.
 Senator Davis speaking in. behalf of the committee on foreign relations said he knew of no change in the situation and he still contended that the authority exercised in the island by the United States slngly would not under the new arrangement ma terially differ from the joint protectorate under the trfpartite agreement by the United States Great Britain and Germany. Senator Pettigrew called attention to the reports of disaffection on the part of the Chief Mataafa towards the new arrange ment. Senator Davis said he had no off, cdal information concerning Mataafas atti- tude, that he had heard nothing about it beyond what he had seen in the newSpa- pers and that If the president had any in- formation on the subject he had not com municated to him.

 Ut can be approached only over bare op- posite slopes and the ridges held by War ren are so steep that guns cannot be placed on them. But we are shelling the enemy's position with howitzers and field artillery, placed on lower ground behind infantry.
 '"The enemy is replying with creusote and other artillery. In this duel the advant- ages rests with us, as we appear to be searching his trenches and his artillery fire is not causing us much loss. An attempt will be made tonight to seize SPions kop, the salient of which forms the left of the enemys position facing Trichard's Drift, and which divides it from the position fac ing Potgieter's Drift. It has considerable command over all the enemy's entranch- mentS."
