NEWS OF THE DAY.

The American residents OF BueDos
Ayres gave brilliant entertainment in
honor OF Rear Admiral Schley last
night.
The Assumptionist Fathers we're yes
terdsv sentenced by the Correctional
Tribunal 10 Paris to fines, and the dis.
solution of the order was decreed.
SpecnlatioDs as to the instructions OF
President Mckinley to Gen. Merritt,
and which precipitated the war in the
Philippines, are rife In Washington.
The republican caucus of the Senate
yesterday evening decided definitely
upon the reorganization of the elective
offices of that body, and nominated
Charles Bennett, of New York, for Sec
rotary, to succeed William r. Cox, and
Daniel M. Rsnsdell, of Indiana, fol-
sergeant-at-srms, to succeed Col. r. ]
Bright.
Democratic Senators met yesterday
and discussed party policy on several
OF the more important questions before
Congress. The caucus agreed as to the
new possessions. They accepted Por.
to Rico and Hawaii as American terri.
tory and favored the extension of all
our laws over it. The Administrations

John Morley, the former liberal lead.
er, addressing his constituents yester.
day at Forfar, Scotland, made little
reference to the present aspects OF the
war in South Africa, combining himself
chiefly to renewal of his indictment
of the "policy which led to hostilities. y
He ridiculed "the notion that few
Boer successes entitled the Trsnsvsal
to be described as first class military
power" and declared that "the fact o.
the Beers sending thu ultimatum nc
more disposed of all other questions
than the defiance of the American col
onists, in throwing the tea into Boston
harbor, disposed OF all the questions o.
the war of American independence. y
In conclusion Mr.. Morley declined to
commit himself as to what would hap
pen in the future, but he warned hi.
hearers not to be duped by the idea thai
the Beers, after defeat, would settle
down quietly.

British Capture SpiOn KOp.

London, Jan. 25.-Fear and anxiety
were suddenly turned into rejoicing in
England today by the receipt of a dis
patch from General Butler, saying that
General Warren had taken Splon Kop.
Far irto the night the crowd fingered
around the war Office, waiting for news,
but none came. Early this morning
anxious friends and relatives again
thronged the war office and in u few
hours their anxiety was relieved by the
joyful tidings from Butler. The COM
handing generals dispatch was dated
Spearman's camp, Thursday, 1910 a.
N. 1t read Gen. Warren's troops
yesterday evening tuesday occupied
Spion Kop, surprising email Boer
garrison who fed. 1t has been held by
US all day though we were heavily al
tackled, especially by most annoying
shell fire. fear our casualties are con
siderable and regret to inform you that
General Woodgate is dangerously
wounded. General Warren, it is BIZ
lieved, has rendered the enemy's posi-
tons unteDable. The men are is spleD
did condition." Butler believes Splon
Kop, which Warren has now captured,
ls the key of the Boer position. With
it taken successfully, the relief of Lady
smith is rendered less hazardous. l.
gives the British high ground from
which to shell the Beers out of their
trenches and koUss. That the Bo,rs
realize the importance of the place is
shown by their desperate attempts to
recover it, which General Butler re-
ports. 1t is the general opinion that
Baller had succeeded in driving the
entering wedge and that the relief OF
Ladysmitn is not far of.

Henderson was chairman of the COM
mittee OH the judiciary of the last U. g.

mittee reported that Gen. Wheeler for
feited his right to seat in that House

it is observed that Gen. Wheeler's place

the House has not yet been filled by the

Speaker of the House. That the va

that excluded him from membership o
