The Senate will begin the consider
alton of the currency bill probably to-
morrow and continue it from day to
day until final vote is reached.
Notwithstanding the assurances of the
Democrats that they will not pursue
obstructive tactics in regard to this
measure it is evident that they pro-
pose to make whatever speeches they
think necessary to place themselves
on record and to manufacture what
ever political capital they can out of
it preparatory to the Presidential
campaign this year.

From the Tugela.
London, Jan. 5.AH'rom both Colesberg
and MolteIlo London receives more cheer
ing news this morning than it did yester-
day. Whether General French has really
been re-enforced from De Aar or not it is
at least certain that his force is holding
the Beers, although the town of Coles
berg itself has not yet been occupied, and
the enemy is being gradually encircled.
Moreover, the Beers retreat into the
Orange Free State by the road to Bothas
drift is cut off. The only possible route
open to them is that toward Norvals
Pont, whittier some of the Beers are re-
ported to be already making their way.
A previous report stated that the Nor
walls Pont bridge is commanded by Brit
ish guns.
The attack on Molteno, which yester-
day was only a matter Of report is today
confirmed. The Beers are now in retreat.
After a night march a force of burghers
of Stormberg seized Molteno at day
break on Wednesday. at the same time
developing attacks upon the Cape Mount
ed rifles on the west and on the Royal
Irish rifles and others on the east of the
town. Although the little British force
at Bushman's Hook did the best it could
it could not induce the Beers to come out
into the OPEN, so the action was for the
most part confined to artillery on both
sides.
Beers Driven Back.
The arrival Of General Gatacre how
ever, with re-enforcements from Sterk-
stroom camp quickly converted the
drawn battle into British victory. the
Beers being driven out of Molteno and
back to their old positions at Stormberg.
1t seems as if the Beers ruse was to
lure Gataere into the difficult country
which was the scene of his reverse. but
the device failed After taking Douglas
and hosting the British flag there Colo
mel Pitcher evacuated the town again,
taking the inhabitants with him
Itis explained that this activity on the
engagements are all done for purpose
that is, to keep down the Dutch disaffec-
tion-and that there are likely to be
many more of the same kind during the
next week or two.
From the important positions at Mod
der river and the Tugela little fresh intel
ligence comes. AT the Tugela yesterday
the Boer trenches were subjected to what
seems to have been a very vigorous bonn
bardmnt which did good deal of dam
age and stampeded some of their horses.

Light Draft Government Boats
May be Utilized For Service.
Suggestion Made That Official
Business on Lower Rio Grande
Might Induce the Government
to Lend It's Assistance.
.sn Antonio Express, 8.

I
securing same, has been MAIDS K
the Business Mems Club and wa
Sc well received that the mattel
was discussed by a number Of in
terested wholesale men yesterday
A gentleman who has spen
many years of his life in til,
Federal service and is in a posi-
ton to know made the suggestion
to the club that the government
could be induced, through proper
representation, to provide free The
vessel or vessels required to main
tain an excellent steamer service
between Rocport and Brownsville,
There is now in the possession OF
the government q large number
of small, light draft vessels, none
OF them IN use, which are we'll
adapted for coast line trade. Many
OF the vessels aforementioned fell
to the United States as result of
the late Spanish war. They have
since been unused aud would re-
quire but little oVerhauling to be
ready for business.
The proposition in brief is that
a company of thirty mSR be form
ed, taking ten from San Antonio,
ten from RockpOrt and an equal
number from Brownsville, whose
only obligation shall be to make
or cause to be made regular trips
between the two last named towns.
1t is believed that with proper
congressional influence the.govsrn-
ment will be only too glad to
fuSniSh the vessels required. One
thing that leads to this belief is
the fact that the shipping of ma
terial and supplies for FoAs Brown
and RinggOld Is noiZa very ex-
penSive undertaking and one that
requires much time. Still another
is the feet that such a line would
solve the transportation question
for the United States officials who
are compelled to go to Brownsville
at least twice year to hold court.
Practical steamboat men say that
a steamer drawing four CIR five feet
Of water could make the trip from
Rockport to point Isabel, near
Brownsville in the hours. The
distance is only III miles and
most any kind of a vessel will
easily make ten knots an hour.
The advantage of such a service
over a schooner line as a permanent
arrangement is apparent to all at
,ncs. Despite wind or weather the
title steamer could make It's
ocular trips on schedule time bar
ing unforeseen dangers at sea.
The schooner would necessarily
depend on the wind and the tides. |
f both were in its favor, it could |
pin along and make the trip IN
lbout sixteen hours; if the ele-
nents should be against it the trip |
night occupy two or three days.
The probability of securing return
.argo with a steam vessel is also
much greater thsu with a schooner, |
because the time wOuld be quicker
nd the certainty of running on
egular schedules more sure.
In the meantime Brownsville |
merchants are at the mercy of ex-
'rbitant freight rates and unecr- |
ain and unreliable shipments.

VERDICT OF CONGRESS-.

Peace Body, at Paris, Declare Re.
Igious Propaganda Should Not Be
Backed by Military Force.

Paris, Oct. 4.-The international
congress of peace now in session here
has passed resolutions concerning the
policy in China.
The congress resolved that the ac-
tion of missionaries is often intoler-
ant and that their religious propagan-
da should not be backed up by dip.
lomatic or military force. They
should go to China at their own risk
and Europe should abandon any relig-
ious protectorate in China. and the
powers should attempt to establish a
stable native government, capable OF
undertaking reforms and the open
door for honest commerce of the
world on equal termss.
This is the only policy which gives
any guarantee for the country's flu
ture peace and stability.

Milwaukee Passenger Crews
Lay Over in Ottumwa.
MEANS ENGINEMEN ONLY
Three Crews Are Affected by the New
Order Now in operation-WiII Move
Families From Marion to ottumwa
at Once.

The Milwaukee has made material
change in the operation of it's passen-
ger trains, whereby the engine crews
on the east division now have their
lay-over in Ottumwa instead of Marion
as heretofore.
The trains thus affected are Nos. 8
and S, which run between Kansas City
and Chicago, and for which three en-
CINE crews are required. Heretofore,
these men who now reside at Marion,
We're compelled to make their lay-over
at that place. BY the new order of af-
fairs they will necessarily have to
spend that time in this city.
No. arrives in sottumwa at 1o:3o
o'clock a. M. and No. at 40 o'clock
a. m. The engine crew which brings
No. 8 in will remain here until 5:15
o'clock p. m. the following day, and
No. 5's crew, which arrives at 1:40
o'clock a. m. will lay over in Ottumwa
until 2:4O o'clock the following morn
ing.
Whether or not this is to be a per-
manent change is not known in local
railroad circles, but there is said to be
good grounds for the supposition that
it will. At any rate, the engineers and
firemen thus affected have already be-
gun casting about in search of resi-
dence property with a view of NOV
ing their families to Ottumwa as soon
as the permanency of the change is
known.
Thus it appears that Ottumwa is not
to suffer materially by the recent re-
moval of it's dispatchers from this
place to Marion. In fact, it is said
that the Milwaukee will, before many
years, make other and more radical
changes in it's service, all of which will
be benefit for this place.
The personnel of the three passen-
ger engine crews affected by the new
order are: Engineers G. Bence, II.
Uncle, and G. Liddle, and Firemen C.
Skinner, l.. Arddrie and H. Conger.
A New Time Card.
A new time card went into effect on
the Milwaukee at noon Sunday, the
only change being in the Suburban"
runs between Cedar Rapids and Mari
on. The change does not in anyway
affect the local service.
Switch Engines Discontinued.
Both the day and night outside
switch engines in the Milwaukee yards
have been discontinued These engines
were put on several weeks ago during
a temporary rush of business.

OTHER MINERS STRIKE.
Only One Colliery of Reading Go.
in Operation.
Concessions Announced Yesterday
Were Not Sufficient to Induce Min
ers in the schuyIkiII Region to
Return.

Philadelphia, Oct. According to
official reports of the Reading Co.,
three additional collieries failed to
start up today.
This leaves but one colliery in oper-
alton. This is the North Franklin
colliery at Trevorton. 1t employs
about 700 men and boys. Many of
them, the officials say, own their homes
and have expressed a determination
to remain at work. To this end the
company has provided a strong guard
of police, who have provided for any
emergency.
The Reading company also has two
small washeries at work but they are
producing only few tons of fuel daily.
