London, Feb. 2O.-The Daily News
publishes the following dispatch, dated
Sunday morning, February is, from
Modder River:
Our sudden appearance seems to
have astounded the enemy and thrown
them into panic. All their positions
we're hurriedly evacuated, and the big
guns at Magersfonteoin and Kimber-
;ey were left behind.
Gen. Cronje moved his transport,
consisting of many hundred wagons,
alcng bank of kopjes north of the
Nodder, toward Koffyfontein. 1t got
past our mounted infantry, but owing
90 WEAKNESS, had to stop. Thereupon
our artillery opened upon it. The
main body of the Boer force kept up
= running fight the whole day, vainly
..rying to escape.
Each time their advance guard
fought to move off, our mounted in
%antry galloped round and checked
xEem. We never attempted to stop
:heir main movement, contenting our
selves with trying to check them.
Their position at Koffyfontein is said
to be very strong. They entertain j
wholesale dread of 10000 cavalry NOV
'ug more quickly than they do them
elves. We hope to be in Bloemfontein
hortly."

RIVAL FACTIONS MEET AGAIN.
Kentucky Legislators Once More
Convened at FrankfOrt-The
GOvernOrship Question.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1s.-A good
part of the democratic legislators re-
turned here tonight, and numerous
conferences were in progress during
the evening relating to the political
programme tomorrow, when the de1u-
Ocratic and republican branches of the
legislature will meet together for the
first time since the assassination of
the late Gov. Goebel.
Who Shall Preside.
The question of whether Lieut.-Gov.
Marshall (republican) or President
pro tenn. Carter (democrat) will pre-
side in the senate tomorrow is as wide
open tonight as it has been. The
democratic leaders say Senator Carter
will preside. Lieut.-Gov. Marshall is
not here tonight, but, before leaving
the city last night he stated positively
that he would return Monday and in
sist on his right to preside; and the
republican leaders assert positively to-
night that he will preside. Neither
side goes farther than these bare state
mcnts, and what steps they will take,
if any, to carry out these cross pur-
poses respectively can only be de-
termined be events tomorrow.
Without a Guard.
Gov. Taylor went to church to-day
without a military escort, and spent
the remainder of the day at the man.
sion with his family.
Gov. Beckham returned to the city
tonight with the democratic Iegisla-
tors, and will have his headquarters at
the Capital hotel.
GOebePs Brothers.
Messrs. Justus and Arthur Goebei,
brothers of the late democratic gov
err OF, also returned, and will remain
here till the body of their dead brother
is finally consigned to earth. Tie
body still lies in the little chapel in
the cemetery, the relatives having
been slow to determine the exact
spct of burial.
Opposed to ReOpening the Matter.
Tho question of reopening the con-
test over the governship by presenting
resolutions in both houses ratifying
the action taken by the democratic
legislators on two occasions declaring
Senator Goebel governor, was discussed
by some of the democratic members
tonight who favor it. They say this
would not be a concession that the
former proceedings were illegal, but
would probably put an end to the con-
troversy sooner.
The matter has not been decided on
officially, but a majority of the mem
bers who are outspoken on the matter
expressed themselves as opposed to re-
opening the matter in any form. They
vii! abide by the decision of the party
managers, however, and there may DE
some reference to it in the session of
the legislature tomorrow.

AT dawn on Friday the Beers were
observed moving wagons along the
kopjes toward Koffyfontein. Our
mounted infantry was sent out from
Kip drift, but was driven back and the
enemy's wagons passed.
Gen. Knox's twelfth brigade, how
ever, quickly attacked the enemy's
main body, and severe fighting went
on all day over line which was very
extended. The enemy, making a des-
peTate attempt, finally escaped, owing
to the serpentine bend of the river.

A steady inpour fire, with occasional

One good Republican and imperialist
differs with his party on the trusts
question. In an interview reported a
few day ago Gen. Russell A. Alger,
late secretary of war of the present
administration, says: II do not agree
with Mr.. Hanna if he has been rightly
quoted, IF I buy up the manufacturing
interests of number of concerns or
firms, causing thereby the closing up
or impoYerishing of communities that
had grown up around them, and fore
ing smaller concerns to the wall, ]
would be guilty of forming a trust
Such trusts should be prevented and
where they exist should be killed." II
is altogether probable, however, that
the ex-secretary would not express
himself so forcibIy if he were still in
office.

I'm one of the Criminal Courts of
Washington, few days ago. says the
Post of that city, "a man was senten-
ced to two years and half in the pen

IN the same institution. The natural
inference from these facts would be
that the crime whereof the latter was
convicted was 20 per cent more heinous
than that charged and proven against
the former. Surprising the court, intent
upon dealing out even and exact JUS
tice, or the nearest practicable ap-
proach thereto, the obligation of the
man to outraged law ought to be 20
per cent more than that of the woman.
The man was convicted of having as
saulted, with intent to kill his wife.
The woman was convicted of having
stolen an article worth $87.

tits always pleasant news to hear

"A short but significant exhibit of the
decline of popular interest in the BIZ
cycle is afforded by the first annual
report of the Bicycle trust for the year
ending July 81. Five years ago, when
all the world was a-wheel, the COM

BRYAN's RECEPTION IN NEW
YORK.

Even the Republican newspapers of
New York were forced to admit that
the reception rendered Bryan there last
Tuesday night was the greatest politi-
cal demonstration ever witnessed in
that city, and never before was Madison
Square Garden SO completely filed
with people. The New York Herald,
for instance, very frankly says the ire
mendous demonstration will greatly
aid the Democratic cause all over the
country. The Herald says:
1T will convince Mr.. Bryan's sup
porters all over the country that the
New York Democrats are making
sincere effort to carry the State. 1t
will reveal to Democrats here and else
where that fight of stubborn char
acter is on in the East-a thing they
have been very much disposed to
doubt. Whether the impetus that has
D68u given bu0 40
to be continued will much depend up
on the developments of Mr.. Bryan's
four days tour of the State, which be-
gins this morning. His speechmaking
to-day will take him through the Hud-
son Valley as far north as Saratoga
county, and by the time he reaches
Buffalo, Saturday night, he will have
traversed more than half the counties
of the State.
"Mr. Bryan attended a conference of
Democratic leaders of Eastern States
yesterday afternoon. Richard Croker,
speaking for his portion of the Demo
cratic party, assured Mr.. Bryan that
New York's electoral vote would be
given to him. The Hill Democracy was
not represented. Democratic leaders
from New Jersey assured Mir. Bryan
that he would carry that State. Mr..
Bryan said that he would be elected
even If he failed to carry New York
and New Jersey.
