Wednesday, Jan. "a.

The British public is in a condition
bordering on panic. No news has been
made public Of the result of Gen. Bul-
ler's promised night advance. and the
opinion seems to be quite general that
the British forces have met with a
disastrous defeat. Buffers silence is
construed as omnols. His entire
army believed to be in grave peril if.
in fact, it has not been annihilated
This belief is strengthened by the re-
fusal of the war office to issue bulle-

Gen. Buffers announcement of the
abandonment of Spon kop has de-
pressed the British public. 1t is feared
Gen. Butler has met with more seri-
GUS repulse than has been made known
to the public. London papers consider
the situation in South Africa very
grave and urge the sending of more
troops. In Germany the latest news
from South Africa is interpreted as a
signal defeat for the British. The
Deutsche Tagesblatt Zeitung calls the
British position there another step
into the mousetrap." Boer and British
forces near Frere camp are within
1000 yards of each other, and continu-
ously exchange shots. If Ladysmith Is
taken the road behind is open for the
British, being unfortifiable for Beers.
There is a report that the Beers have
no more ammunition. The British pub
lie is angered at the latest defeat.
Butler is blamed, and Warrens retreat
from Spion kop makes him a target

 Foreign Ministers Well
AND FORCES HAD TO FALL BECK

London, June 2.-3:2O a. m.-The dis patches from China received last night are those which give further details of the re- pulse of Thursdays attempt to relieve Tien Tsin. According to a dispatch from Che Foo, hordes of Chinese With we'll post ed artillery block the way of the American and Russian forces. The guns of the allies could make no impression, and 1t was found impossible to shift the enemy's posi- tion. Nothing could be done except to fall back and this was accomplished in good order. It was ascertained that the for eigners in Tien Tsin were making a gallant defense. The French concession buildings had been vigorously attacked with fire, and in all probability have been reduced to ashes. After the force returned an armor- ed train attempted to reconnoitre, but was derailed More troops are arriving at Taku, and another attempt of relief with a force of much greater strength was to have been made last Saturday. night. The Chinese legation at Berlin received anoth- CT telegram last Saturday, night stating that all the legations in Pekin were safe, and that the foreign ministers at that place were all well.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
The Telegrams Received Are Sadly
 Lacking in Interest

London, June 24.-There was almost a total absence of war news from South Af- rica last night and the telegrams received lack interest and fail to add to the facts already known.
 According to a special dispatch from Capetown it seems that in the recent fight at Zand river the Boers captured 2,0O0 mail bags containing a three weeks accumula- ton of letters for Lord Roberts army and f4,00O worth of stamps intended for the troops.
 At Kimberley Friday evening, Dr. Jame- son addressed the electors. He sketched the position of the Rand at the time of the raid, emphasizing the discomfort of the working classes who were grooming under grievances and were ripe for revolt. He denied that the raid caused racial troubles, induced the Boers to arm, or hampered the imperial government. Race feeling, he con tinued, have always existed, and arament had already been commenced by the Trans vaal government while the imperial gov ernment did not intend to take effective steps to redress the outlanders' grievances.
 This is the first time that Dr. Jameson had broken the silence on the subject of the raid

TONNE WILL WITHDRAW
If He is Not Nominated by the Demo

Dallas, Tex, June 23.-A special from Austin says:
 Charles A Towne the Populist nominee for Vice President, has written a letter to friend here in which he gives the infer ence that if he is not the choice of the Democratic party for Vice President he will withdraw. MT. Towne in his letter. says:
 My friends know that no personal con- sidertions would influence me to stand in the way of the success of the party for which we are contendng."
 The letter was written to Major George A. Walton of the Department of Agricul- ture. Major Walton wrote MT. Towne congratulating him upon his nomination for the Vice Presidency, and in the letter took occasion to suggest to him in the in- terest of the principles for which he stood that in accepting the nomination 1t would be wise to indicate clearly that his can didacy would depend upon the action of the Democratic convention at Kansas City.

St. Louis, June 23.-No untoward incl dent marred the progress of the street car strike today. The Transit Company is augmenting its force of employees and its transportation facilities to such an extent that all semblance of a strike promises to disappear in the near future. The sheriff has begun the reduction of his posse, and this war-like feature of the situation will soon be thing of the past. The numerous reports that have gained currency during the past week that dynamite plots were being matched were disproved today by the confession of a Transit Company employe. His ambition to shine as a detective and his desire to ingratiate himself in the good graces of the company's officials accounts for the circulation of the reports and his own undoing.
 Sheriff Pohlman today began reducing the force of deputies on duty to 800, under orders issued yesterday by the Board of PolioA Commissioners. The men not need

Macon, Ga., June N.-As reported here, there was a very heavy loss of life in the McDonough wreck on the Southern Rail- road tonight The train crew are said to be lost, and only seven passengers are known to be uninjured.
 The Southern Railway officials here have up to this hour only the most meagre ad- vices, but express considerable apprehen- sion. The wreck occurred at @ culvert, near the Ocmulgee river, a short distance from McDonough. The train went into the washout without a note of warning. The crash wes terrific, and despite the pouring rain. the wreckage took fire. The train was composed of one sleeper, two day coaches and two baggage cars. The Pull man caught fire, but before 1t was totally destroyed the body of Captain Wood was rescued.
 Superintendent A. Gordon Jones is fear ful that the entire train crew Is lost. He is totally unadvised, but from the nature of the wreck thinks 1t must have been bad one and that the passengers, too, have met with heavy disaster.

epringing suddenly upon Ricardo, his
trainer. Wallace, the lion of the
"Anglo-American School OF Zoology"
at Woodside park, Philadelphia, caught
the man by the left arm and would
have killed him but for the prompt &C
ton on the part Of Ricardo and the at
tendants.
No exhibition had been given with
the lion since the show had come from
Chester several days ago. The heat
had irritated the big animal and had
made his ugly temper even worse than
1t is ordinarily. He was FESTIVE and
hard to control. No one except Ricardo
would go near the brute.
Every afternoon the trainer en-
tered the cage to give Wallace his daily
exercise. Ricardo went into the cage
about four o'clock in the afternoon for
drill with the lion. He had scarcely
entered when Wallace sprang at him
and caught him by the left arm below
the elbow. The lion bit him second
time in the lower part Of the arm.
AS he did so Ricardo shot at him with
the revolver which he was carrying in
his right hand. He missed but the shot
scared the lion and he released the
trainer. Attendants of the show, run
ming up, kept the big brute in one cor
ner of the cage while others dragged
Ricardo out through the door.
His left arm was lacerated and the
flesh torn from the bones. The arm
began to swell at once. and Ricardo
was taken in hurry to the Presby-
terrain hospital. After having the
wounds treated and dressed the trainer
returned to the show. Hundreds OF ex-
cited people witnessed the attacks.
