LONDON, Feb. 1O.-London accepts as
true the Boer statements that General
Butler has failed again. These state
ments pass the British censor at Alden

not pressing forward, are considered
proof of q retreat. Mr.. Winston
Churchill, in recent dispatch, said
that retention of Vaal Krantz was not
practicable and that further guns were
needed to support the advance. His

at times it seemed as if as many as 20

by frogs croaking and the occasional

Congressman Joe Il. Lane will make
an effort to get law passed at Wash
ington allowing an appropriation for
some needed repairs on the Hennepin
canal, says the Davenport Leader.
Coal dealers who operate barges in
the canal say that the repairs are
badly needed at three places above the
Moline bridge. 1t is said that at these
places the canal is so shallow that the
coal barges frequently run aground
while in the center of the canal.
1t is also said that in several places
piling appears above the surface of
the water, which makes it Il dangerous
task to operate coal.barges.
Capt. Jack McCalrrey tells the
Leader that the portion of the canal
Immediately above the Moline bridge
should be thoroughly dredged. Capt.
Mccartney also says that because of
the shallow conditions he has lost sew
eral barges, which together he valued
at $500.
