FRENCH'S VICTORY.
WAS WON BY MAKING A FLANK
ATTACK ON THE BOERS.

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: In advance
of the arrival of Lord Roberts and the
concentration of the sixth and seventh
divisions for march upon Sprngfontein,
the most strategic point in the Orange re-
public, Gen. French's occupation of Coles
burg is distinct gain for the British
cause. Even If it was brought about
cheaply and without a pitched battle, 1t is
Of the highest value as an object lesson OF
what British generals can do when they
go about it in the right way and with a
mobile force adapted for operating
against the infantry.
Gen. Gatacre attempted to surprise the
enemy at Stormberg by a night march.
but was entrapped in ambuscade because
he did not have a mobile force capable OF
good scouting. Gen. French attempted
the same tactics with mounted force and
succeeded in entrapping his willy enemy,
who had fallen back from one entrench-
ment position only to be surprised at day
break on the second line. Since the week
of disaster military croakers have been
calling loudly for some heaven born
general who would point the way to
Bloemfontetn and Pretoria. Gen. French s
success in owt-maneuvering the enemy is
required for this campaign. but mobile
forces led by generals who know how to
direct them with wary skill.
In only one battle has there been any
thing like a flank attack or a turning
movement. That was at Elandslaagte,
in which guns and prisoners were taken
by the British. That battle was planned
and won by Gen. French, whose staff COL
lege training came out brilliantly in re-
cent operations from Naauwpoort to
, Colesburg. He has been constantly man.
euvering and within 48 hours has COM
, PEELED the Dutch to evac,sate two good po-
frontal attacks. His success is due to
good leadership and to the mobility of his
forces and 1t illustrates what might have
been done by other generals II they had
not been bent on frontal attacks and
II the headquarters staff in London had
adapted the army corps to the regiments
OF the campaign, instead OF carrying out
a prearranged mobigizing scheme with
out any degree Of fiex5bility.
From Modder river there is series OF
press dispatches indicating renewed ac-
tivdty. The Boer position on the left Is
reported to have been weakened by q

THE CANAL
is; IS OPENED.
Chicago'S Dream Realized
at Last.
ONLY A FEW WITNESSES
Present When the Water Was Turned
Into the Channel-C City's Sewerage
Will Be Carried Off Into the Mis-
sisSippi After This.
ONLY A FEW WITNESSES

Chicago, Jan. AIT 8 o'clock this morn
ing water was turned into the $50, 900, 900
drainage canal and began to flow toward
Lochport where it will fall into the Des-
PLANES river and thence through the H.
hnois and Mississippi rivers to the gulf.
What is termed by the canal engineers
the collateral channel has been for some
time completed from the Chicago river
in the southw western part of the city to
within Is feet Of the main channel of the
canal. This fifteen foot wall of earth
with two sluice gates behind 1t has been
all that kept the Chicago river and Lake
Michigan out of the canal.
At 10 o'clock Monday night a steam
dredge began to cut away this wall Of
earth and few minutes before O'Clock
to-day the water in the collateral chan
mel was against the sluice gates and only
few inches of timber remained to be re-
moved before Chicago was to realize her
dream Of years and see the great canal in
actual operati tion. When the water began
to back up against the sluice gates the
timbers were knocked away and the f1rst
canal.

cut the channel to carry 100000 cubic feet
of water a minute and to turn 1T into the
empty canal would be like the bursting of
a reservoir and would tear away every
bridge over the canal and the wreck-con-
trolling works at Lockport. Therefore
the water will be turned in gradually.
Probably week will elapse before the
canal is full Of water and is carrying away
the sewage that now flows into the Chi
cago river. @&
An occasion that might have been made
one OF the most memorable in the event.
full history Of Chicago was allowed to
pass by unlmproved because the trustees
Of the sanitary district were intent on
their own great aim-the opening of the
canal. Aside from the trustees and en-.
gineers of the board there We're less than
a dozen spectators present.

Claims His Innocence.

Frankfort, Jan. 2-Ex-Senator Black
Whalen alleged attempted bribery sensa-
ton which disconnected the anti-Goebel
democrats last night, was still the over
shadowing feature on the political boards
today. Colonel Whalen telegraphed Com
monwealth Attorney Franklin that he will
arrive from Louisville this afternoon and
his friends denying the charge brought
against him by Senator Harrett. The oGe-
bel leaders promise very sensational devel-
opments when the trial Of Whalen comes
on, and also when the legislative committee
goes to hearing evidence on the guberna-
tOrial contest.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Mayor Harrison will

that the better plan would he to manda-

TIE SOLDIERS QUEUE.
About the Dressing, of Their
Hair.

On the top the hair was cut close

hard or stick pomatum. a kind Of grease
made up in hard rolls about an inch in
diameter and three or four inches long.

Capt. Mcdonald in The History Of the
Dress of the Royal Artillery" The
stumpy hair, at first stubborn, by per
severance and pomatum was. after q
time, quite forced out Of its natural
direction and MADE to grow backward
instead Of forward. The remainder of
the hair was gathered into a queue be-
hind, which, according to regulation,
should be ten inches long and tied close
to the head; this we called a rooter.
but the dandies affected a loose tie and
began some inches lower down.
Those whose hair was not long
enough had false queues male of
stuffed chamois leather with a br lsh of
hair at the end. and this had II be
sptieed onto the hair. For uniform itys
