again crossed the Tugela river on biz
way to Ladysmitb. The crossing i,
said to have occurred last Friday.
Ladysmith dispatch states that on sun.
day the besieged garrison heard Buler's
guns. A Pietermaritzburg correspond

same correspondent says General Jou-
bert was seriously injured by shell IN
the fight at Willow Grange.
The Beers, it is reported, have duc
up the roads leading to Ladysmith St
as to make trouble for Buller's tran,
port wagons. They have strengthened
their defensive works at PolgeteIs
drift.
Winston Churchill, in a dispaict

staked on the issue of the coming bat

THAT THE people OF the South sym
pathize with the Beers in their brave
and determined struggle for home rule
and liberty and in defense of their
homes, which they have made out OF
the wilderness. is only natural, because
they have been through just exactly
such struggle, and for precisely the
same purpose, and fellow feeling has
a strong pull on human nature; but
why those OF the North should do SO,
and not agree with the republican ad-
ministratioD, whose sympathies are
with the British, is by no means SO
plain, as the British army is now doing
to the Beers just what the Northern
army did to the people of the South
during the war between the States.

WILLARD's HOTEL.-Capt. Joseph E
Willard, owner of the famous hostelry
in Washington bearing his name, has
completed the plans TO. the demolition
OF the present building, which will be
begun very soon, and the erection in
it's place OF a structure that will surpass
in magni6cence of architectural con-
struction, in size and elegance of in
terror decoration, any hotel in Wash
ington. Mr.. Willard has engaged to
prepare the plans for his new hotel the
firm of architects who designed and
erected the Waldorf-Astoria. Work
men will soon begin tearing down the
old structure. The side facing Penn
sylvanis avenue will be demolished
first. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Willard
10 spare neither money nor time 10 the
construction of his new hotel.

Expects Federal Aid.

Frankfort KY, Feb. Sit is said
here that wires between the executive
office and Washington are being kept
busy and Taylor men are hoping for
good news from there soon. Gen. Cas-
tlemsn, whom Gov. Beckham has ap-
pointed Adjutant General, will make a
demand on Gov. Taylor's Adjutant
General soon to vacate and Beck ham
will at once issue a call for volunteers.
This, at least, is the programme lay
lor is expecting Beckham to carry out
and when Castlemsn's call for volun-
teers is issued the Taylor men expect
that Mckinley will send federal troops
to take charge on both sides.

A bill was passed creating new di

Senators GalliDger and Perkins pre-

HOUSE.
The first measure considered in the
House this morning was the bill TO ap.
point commission for the investiga-
ton of the pollution of water supplies.
The bill is the ouigrowth OF st. Louis's
opposition to the Chicago canal.
Mr., Bartholdt said it was time that
the practice OF dumping filth and sew
age into running streams should be
stopped.
Mr.. Cannon urged that the subject
should be referred to the National
Academy OF Science or to the Marine
Hospital service. He suggested that
Bartholdt's purpose was directed against
the Chicago canal which gave outlet to
Illinois sewage to the Mississippi river.
Mr. Bsrtholdt admitted that he spoke
for the lives and health of the people of
st. Louis.
Messrs. Hopkins. Robinson and Rich.
ardson opposed the bill.
Messrs. Hepburn and Joy denied
that this bill ranged st. Louis against
Chicago. 1t was a matter of national
importance.
The vote to suspend the rules and
pass the bill was then taken, sc voting
tor it and 81 against, so the motion was
lost.
Mr.. Lnney presented the committee
report in the Evans Turner contested
election case. There was no debate and
the report, which is in favor of the demo-
Graf, was adopted.
Mr.. Roberts reported the Pearson
Crawford election case, from the Ninth

cOntestee.
The minority was given ten days to file
their report.
Mr.. Hit called up the diplom ATTIC and con
sulsr appropriation bill, and the House. In

sideration.

ognize writ OF hsbeas corpus for the
release of Alonzo Walker, who was ar
rested by the military for pinniDg q
notice of a writ of Injunction on the
door OF Governor Taylor's chambers in
the Executive building.
Judge Moore said. after Sheriff Suter
mad reported his inability 10 serve the
writ of habeas corpus, that unless Gov
Taylor receded from his position the
sheriff would be instructed to enforce
the order OF the court and would be
given sufficient armed force to insure
this result. Gov. Taylor, however, has
ordered the release of Walker.
As stated on Saturday Judge Cantrill,
of the Circuit Court of Frankfort,
granted temporary injunction re-
straining Gov. Taylor from interfering
with the meeting of the Legislature.
The temporary injunction is to remaio
binding until February 9Th, when the
hearing to make it permanent will be
heard at Georgetown. No attempt Was
made to secure personal service of the
writ of injunction upon Governor Tay-
lor.
Gov. Taylor is preparing for the leg
islature u meet at London tomorrow.
He will not 90 himself, but will remain
in close touch with his workers.
Cases of rifles and many boxes of am
munition were sent to London by Gen.
Collier, who intends to be ready for any
emergency.
Today the demo cratic members of the
legislature will meet in Louisville, and
it ia purposed to make that city the
headquarters OF the executive and leg
islstive branches of the State govern
ment as long as the presence OF troops
keeps them from Frankfort or until the
present conflict OF authority in the State
is settled.

The Irony of Fate.

Speaking of the queer fiukes of luck
in the goldfields Of Alaska, writer In
Ainslee's Magazine says:
,"Often after the pile is made acct
dent, disease or death ,-eps in to pre-
vent its legitimate enjoyment.
"One man dropped dead when at the
weighing of the first clean up he found
himself rich man. There was some
thing wrong with his heart. He had
the physical strength to make the fight
against bad food and water, to endure
the back breaking toll of developing
and working out and all the strain of
the uncertainty that went before. The
supreme moment of success was more
than he could stand, and the use of
the gold passed from him with it's &C.
quirement.
"a certain James Meade lay down
with typhoid fever in an outlying camp
just as he was starting for home with
the accumulations of the year, and he
and his bag of dust entered Dawson
together on litter. 1t took six men
to bring him in-alternating four TO
carry and two to rest-and he paid
each man SIS a day. Once in Dawson
Meade seemed to grow better. and
when his sailing day came he walked
to the boat. He reached the wharf and
fell dead as he was about to go
aboard"

Wishing to make a study of a por-
ton of the swamp near Ell Akewa, in
Egypt, l set up my easel on the edge
of pool where the ground seemed a
little firmer than the rest. Quickly
becoming engrossed in my work, l did
not notice that l was slowly sinking
until | found that my sketching stool
had nearly disappeared and my legs
were imbedded in the mud almost up
TO my knees. With the breaking of
the surface crust the black slime gave
out most horrible odors, and small
singing flies. liberated from the earth,
quickly covered me, crawling up my
legs and arms, while the mosquitoes,
combining in the attack, eventually
drove me from my half finished work.
Though really quite clear, the water
was so alive with mosquito grubs as
TO appear almost Opaque. BY thou
sands every moment the grubs would
come to the surface, either crawling
up the rushes or floating, and the outer
shells soon cracking In the sun left the
little insects at liberty. A few Sec
onds sufficed to dry their wings and
give them life and strength, and then
with hum and buzz they joined their
brothers in the air, lowering in thou
sands like cloud of black smoke over
the stagnant pond from which they
sprang. Then was discovered-a rare
bonnie boucze for those parts-and a
rapid retreat became imperative.-R.
Talbot Kelly in Century.
