Fear That They May Run Into the 1hous-
ands.
London, Jan. 30.-It begins to look as
II the Spion kop fight was one OF the
greatest OF modern times. According
to the usual percentage of officers and
men killed, General Warren must have
lost several thousand men.
The names of the men are not mere
vet, only those of officers. There are
forty-eight of these in the list signed
by Warren. In the report OF Ciery are
eleven officers, and the statement IS
made that 29O were killed and wouno-
ed on January Goth only.
This is the first London has heard OF
any fight that Clery was in.
This ;ardy news confirms the view
that the war office is letting the news

prospect that causes no particular
alarm among business men, for, ac-
cording to Minneapolis reports, they
are confident that with the passing OF
the lumberman there will be a great
addition to the agricultural population,
and that the added trade which will
naturally come as the result OF the de-
velopment OF the rich farming lands of

more than compensate them for any
loss they may sustain by the closing

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Lord Roberts VIII Soon Have Big Force
at His Command

at His Command.
London, Jan. 3O.-History pauses for
n time in South Africa. 1t is one of
those unsatisfactory pauses that are
nearly as trying to British nerves as
a sequence OF reverses, and apparently
it will terminate only when Lord
Roberts gives the word for the forward
movement into the Free State, which,
according to the most cheerful view,
he will be unable to do for fort
night
Whether he will permit General Bull
Ter to make another attempt to relieve
Ladysmith is quite outside the knowl-
edge even of those closely connected
with the war office. With the troops
due to arrive next month he may think
himself strong enough to try two large
operations. Combining the forces
under Geperals Methuen, French and
Gatacre, dnd adding to them the ar
irving troops. Lord Roberts would
have 10000 for the invasion of the
Free State, with 10000 to 10000 guard
ing communications and 10000 trying
to rescue Ladysmith.
There are 20,222 men and 155 guns
now at sea. Eleven thousand infantry
and 1000 cavalry, including 5000 yeo-
men are practically ready to embark
Therefore the government, without
doing more. can place at the disposal
of Lord Roberts 10000 additional men
and 1856 guns. The further purpose of
the war office officials are supposed to
embrace somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 more men. AS the in
dication is that candidates will be
rather scarce. the war Office will issue
orders for those reservists who were
found unfit at the previous mobiliza-
tion examinations TO report for further
examination. Applicants for cavalry
service are still freely offering as ydo-
manry. General Buffers operations
has cost 912 men so far officially re-
ported within ten days. sfe

There will be no criminal trials in the

Of Mr.. Osborne is that of the state
against Joe. Lloyd who has been indicted
by the grand jury for the murder of Mo-
torman Lucius B. Varnadoe. Lloyd and
James Blige, the latter still at liberty,
were Jointly indicted with Seaborn Hayes
for the murder, though they did not act
ua,ly participate in the killing. The CIR
cumstances in evidence show, however,
that they were active in formulating the
plot and were present, for the purpose of
aiding and abetting the commission of
the crime, when the principal criminal
fired the cowardly and fatal shots.
Edward Gardner and Josh Miller have
also been indicted for offenses connected
with the murder of the motorman. Both
are charged with being accessories after
the fact, in that they sheltered and pre-
vented the arrest of Hays after the COM
mission of the crime. The murderer spent

THIEF ENTERED BY TRANsOM.
But After Getting in v. Smiths Store
He Decided to Get Out.

The thief that entered B. Smiths store,
No. L. Broughton street, east, about 9
o'clock last night showed clever tactics in
entering, but could not apparently devise
a way to get off with plumber. Policeman
Tullis was trying the store doors in that
vicinity when he found Smiths door open,
whereupon he called fellow officers and
made a search. No thief could be found
in the building.
A turned transom and the removal of
screws from the door lock indicated that
the thief entered at the transom, and
then tempered with the lock TO make his
escape. OF course, the officers could not
tell whether anything was missing from
the store The safe was intact, however,
and to all Appearances nothing had been
removed from the building. The SUPPOSE
ton was that the thief abandoned his in
tention after entering the building, and
got out the best way possible.
While the officers were making their
search a large crowd gathered in front
of the store, and continued to grow until
the officers left.

WEATHER SUITS FARMERS.
Their Hay Is Being Gathered While
the SUN Shines.

There is probably but one class of per-
sons about Savannah TO whom the pre-
vailing and but very casually interrupted
spell of dry weather has brought a state
of mind approaching content. These are
the truck farmers.
Since they have completed gathering
and shipping their crops of vegetables,
the farmers have been busily engaged in
harvesting hay. for the consumption of
their stock during the coming year and
for sale in the city. The hay is made
from the crows foot and crab grass, that
springs up of itself after the land has
been cleared of the crops. The only
preparation the farmers make Is to har-
row the ground, the grass does the rest
and If, at the time of harvest, heavy
rains do not result, the crop is heavy
and valuable.
Hence 1t is that the farmers are not
complaining at the absence of rain. They
are making hay while the sun shines
and they don't care to experience a
change in weather conditions until this
part of their years work has been com
pleted.
