Accordingly 1 decided to lombard him
with artillery and turn my attention to
the enemy's reinfOrcementS.
The result was most satisfactory.
The Beers were driven off in all direc-
tions, losing d good many killed and
wounded and about fifty prisoners who
say they arrived from Ladysmith two
days ago by railroad.
They also say it was our artillery
fire which caused them to abandon the

QUAY CASE WENT OVER.
But It Will Be Called Up Today for
Consideration.

Consideration.
washington. Feb 22.-In accordance
with a taciU agreement with the sen
ators who were unable on account Of
the meeting Of the Democratic ma
tional convention to attend tOday's
session. Mr.. Penrose pa, refrained
from calling up the Quay case as he
had yesterday announced he would
co.
When he announced. however, his in
tentiOn TO call it up tomorrow, brief
parliamentary squabble enSued as to
the rights by which the case would
come before the senate. No conclusion
was reached, the questions involved
being postponed for consideration until
tomorrow.
Several weeks ago Senator Foraker
the senior senator from Ohio, was
selected to read WashingtOn's fare
well address today. 1t was d notable
compliment to him that when the
senate convened today all Of'the public
and private galleries were crowded and
scores Of people stood in the corridors
unable TO gain admission. Mr.. For
aker's reading was a fine bit Of elOcu-
ton and he was congratulated by many
of his colleagues.
Mr.. Foraker called attention TO the
notice Of his intention to move con-
sideration of the Porto RiCau bill
after the Hawaiian government meas
ure had been disposed of, but added
that he in no manner would oppose the
suggestion of Mr.. PenTose-
Mr.. Chandler N. H., declared the
question of the right to a seat in the
senate was privileged and il was not
necessary to take up the question by
vote. a senator had the right TO ad-
dress the senate on the subject at any
time during a session. The question.
/ he said. could not be superseded by
any other business, not unfinished
/ business. Mr.. HOaT (Mass.). made the
same contention.
Mr. Aldrich held that these conten-
tons were not in accordance with the
/ rules and practices Of the senate and
I that it had been voted down by the
/ senate on every previous occasion in
I his experience.
/ Mr.. Hale (Maine). said that while he
/ did not agree with the arguments adj
vanced by Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Hoar
/ all that could be settled tomorrow il
| the question should arise then.

Columbus, Ca, Feb. 22.-W. J. BTt an
spent busy day here. He was met on
his arrival from Jacksonville by a COM
mittee Of citizens and given the freedom
of the city. During the afternoon Mr..
Bryan addressed several thousand peo-
pie at the opera house and later talked
outside to an overflow meeting. The
sentiment that drew the most applause
in the speech was an expression Of SYM
pathy for the struggling Beers. A ban
quet was given Colonel Bryan this
evening.
Colonel Bryan was tonight shown the
Associated Press dispatch telling of the
decision of the national Democratic
committee to hold the convention in
Kansas City. He said Kansas City was
agreeable TO him. He did not care to
express himself upon the date of the
convention.
Colonel Bryan read very carefully
that part of the dispatch regarding Mr..
Germans speech and seemed impressed
with that part of the dispatch.
