The south African War.

The Daily Telegraph, London, says;
Gen. Warren's forces fought a delib.
erately planned and successful battle
saturday. This important engagement
occurred to the west of Spion Kop, and
practically resulted in our securing the
rough table land which constituted the
key of the Beers position.
After fierce cannonade had been
directed against the Boer lines for some
time the British assembled near an emf.
nence known as Three Tree Hill which
forms the center of semi circle of crests
crowned with the enemy's works and
some six miles long. steadily and with
great dash the British infantry went
forward in the face of a heavy fusilade
of Mauser rifles. Soon after mid day
the battle on the hill became furious
and from in the afternoon until @ the
fire from both cannon and rifles was
extremely heavy. Point after point OF
the enemys position was seized by the
British troops and eventually the Boer
right broke and was forced back toward
Spion Kop.
Our forces are bivouacking upon the
ground captured so CALAMITY. During
the action today the enemy brought into
play new guns, one of which was a quick
firer Tomorlo w ought to settle the
matter. In today's fighting our losses
were triaing, but the Beers suffered
heavily. While General Warren was
fighting this engagement an effectual
demonstration was proceeding at Pot.
gieter's Drift, the enemy's position near
there being vigorously shelled by the
British batteries.
The correspondent of the London
Times at Lorenzo Marques telegraphing
Saturday says: II learn from an abso.
lutely unbiased and trustworthy inform.
ant that the Beers in Natal are disheart.
ened."
threatens retaliation on the British off
GERS in Pretoria if the Boer prisoners are
removed to st. Helena.
Native reports say that proclamation
has been issued at Barklywest by Com
mandant Boithof, ordering all British
subjects to quit before January %
Ladies are being subjected to great in
suits. The Beers are again very active,
bombarding heavily from all positions
from dawn till 8 p. m, the fire being
directed chiefly against the redoubts.
At Ladysmith the deaths from enteric
fever and dysetery average ten day
Some fears are expressed that the gar
rison may be 30 sworn by privation and
disease as to be unable to do much IN
the way of helping General Butler.
So far as can be judged 1t does not ap-
pear that the fighting of Saturday and
Sunday can be classed as a battle. 1t is
rather Wholesale skirmish all along the
line, the evident object of the British
being to dslodge the enemy from the
natural points of vantage which they
have occupied. The result claimed has
been considerable advance of British
line, but it is admitted that this has
been accomplished by uphill work, both
literally and fguratively, and that the
British losses have been heavy.

Faneuil Hall, Boston, a place famous
in the United States history where
American Liberty was Graded, held a
crowded audience, Wednesday night of
last week, to listen to expressions of
sympathy with the Beers in their con-
fiict with England, from such speakers
as Geo. F. Hollis, former consul at Cape
Town, Prof. Camille Ried of Clark Uni
versity of Worcester and others. Col.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Sen
ator Hoar, not able to be present, sent
letters of sympathy, which were read.
A set of resolutions were drawn and
sent to Pres. Mckinley and cabinet,
President Kruger, DR.. Leyds, Transvaal
representative in Europe, President
Steyn of Orange Free State and Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, the British Colo
nial secretary. Other meetings of like
nature have been held in other cities,
have been attended as rule by foreign
born citizens whose hatred for Great
Britain is quite marked.

1t Is conceded upon all sides that Con-
gresham Littlefield of Maine made an
able and brilliant argument In favor of
the minority report in the Roberts case
in the House at Washington, Tuesday.
Even those in favor of the majority re-
port admit the force of his arguments.
All who know Mr.. Littlefeld are not
surprised that he should make power
ful speech upon his side of the issue
He had fine opportunity to show his
high. toratorical powers and made the
most of it, establishing his reputation as
one of the forceful speakers in that body,
10 which it usually takes several terms
for new man to secure recognition.
Mr.. Littlefield's "maiden speech" was a
rouser. The question is one upon which
there is honest difference of opinion, but
we believe with the majority of the COM
mittee, that any method of denial of the
right of Roberts to a seat In the House
expressed by two.thirds vote of the
members, will be a substantial compliance
with the provisions of the constitution
In this case.

OF pulp and paper, as the action practi.

that the amendment to the constitution
