Notifications until the place is regarded
impregnable, would have inspired the
nation. but these good tidings to the
British are overshadowed by anxiety as
to the situation on the Tugela and the
thought that the heavy loss suffered dur
ing the struggle OF Tuesday night has
counted for naught. Military circles
made no effort to conceal their chagrin,
expressing the gravest fears as to the
ultimate fate of Ladysmith. Such
authorities as Major General Frederick
Darlington, who Is under orders for
South Africa, and Lord Clifford, who
won the Victoria cross while scouting
for Lord Wolseley during the Zulu war,
would not be surprised to hear of the
capture of Whites forces within week.
Lord Clifford, who knows the country
like book, could not understood how
in the world Warren ever got to Spion
Kop without ascertaining What position
1t would command.
The poorness of maps, 1t was pointed
out, could hardly be an excuse for this,
asrthere must be with Warren scouts, to
say nothing of officers. who at one time
or another served at Ladysmith and
whose mere hunting expeditions would
have given them knowledge of the coun-
try. While Warren is not blamed for
retreating under heavy shell fire, he is
severely criticised for occupying the
position to which he could not bring up
artillery.

Durham says the Boer losses on the up

FIGHTING RAILWAYS
The Elevator Owners and STANDARD
Oil Company Have Great
Advantages.
MlLLERS ARE NOT SATISFIED
Charges Made That the Interstate Com
merce Commission Is of Little Service
and Railway Corporations Do As
They Please.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The senate
committee on commerce today gave a
hearing to representatives of number
of business organizations throughout the
country In support OF bill to ameno
the Interstate commerce law. The first
statement was made by Frank Barry Of
Milwaukee, secretary of the Nationa
Millers' Association, the accredited re-
preventative of the national league OF
industrial associations. He commended
the pending bill, saying it had been
framed with view to doing justice tt
both shipper and carrier. He condemned
the present law saying it has become
impotent and valueless and the inter.
state commerce commission nothing
more than moot court.
In reply to questions from Senator
Tillman. Barry said the Standard Oh
company, the Sugar trust and the large
Touring mills OF the northwest and
the grain elevator interests are not CO.
operating in this movement. lie called
attention to the recent change in freight
classifications made by railroads, which
he said left the carload rates on oil prac-
tically where they were, while it raised
the rate on fractional carload rates 200
to 900 per cent.
This was in the interest OF the STAN
dard Oil Company. Barry expressed
the opinion that the Minneapolis mllers
are receiving discriminatory rates from
railroads.
Barry also made complaint of dscri-
minatiOn between railroads in favor of
wheat for export against flour for OK.
port. He thought the discrimination
due to the fact that many railroad men
are owners of elevators.
Augustine Gallagher OF st. Louis,
commissioner of the Millers' National
Association spoke especially of the in
terests of milers in the proposed legis-
latiOn.
He said the railroads are not content
with controlling the mines and forests
of the country but were now attempting
to control the ballots of the people along
their lines. He contended that the
railroad systems of the middle west as
far as the grain interests are concerned
are practically parcelled out by the
large firms of Chicago and other cities
Mr.. Gallagher, in response to an in
ouiry from Chairman Cullom said he
firmly believed the adoption Of the
amendment proposed by the national
board OF trade would produce results
immensely beneficial to the whole peo-
pie. He denied that he favored a rail-
road trust.
'You want then, inquired Senator Al
len, ''to authorize the railroads to main
tain rates without pooling railroads.
"That's it, replied Gallagher.
"Well," said Allen, ''that's another
name for the same thing"

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 26.-By order
and advice of the Republican officials
the armed men who came voluntarily to
the capital have gone back to their
homes.
Frankfort, KY, Jan. 26.-At the
opening of the house session, the Van
Meter Berry contest from Jefferson
county being the special order for this
morning, resolution was offered by
RepresentativeGr Gridler OF Bowling Green,
providing that when The majority and
minority reports are presented by the
contest committees. forty minutes be
allowed to each side for debate and all
the evidence in the case will be read
MIR. Finn, of Simpson county, moved to
lay the motion on the table. AS the
Republicans are avowedly for delay of
the contest cases and the Democrats for
quick action, the vote was the first to
test the strength on the contest cases.
A motion to lay on table was lost by 40
to AZ. A compromise between Democratic
and Republican leaders resulted in the
adoption of resolution that the house
should hear the majority and minority
reports as committee Of the whole, not
less than twenty and not more than
fifty minutes being allowed for discussion
and argument.
No vote was reached in the Van
Meier Berry case, 1t being postponed
until Saturday.
The case OF Van Meter, the Demo-
cratic contest and Berry Republican
contestee, OF Fayetts county was called.
The members of the committee except
L. G. Rawlns were Republicans. The
majority report recommended that Berry
be allowed to retain the seat. Rawlins
presented minority report in favor Of
Van Meter.

Roberts, who by vote of s7s to so was
refused seat In congress, the report of
the committee being adopted by that
majority, says he will not again be a
candidate to congress from Utah. He
has given out a statement justifying his
retention of plural wives on the ground
that his moral obligation was more
binding on his conscience than a
technical obedience to statutory law
and saying there was little excuse for
the extraordinary efforts to crush sys-
tenn already abandoned and practically
dead. He said he was martyr to "a
spasm of prejudice

PERFECT FENCE.
II is Combination of Wire and Hedge and Is
Highly Endorsed by Many Prominent
Citizens and Farmers


Highly Endorsed by Many Prominent
Citizens and Farmers.
Fences and roads are more than most
other mprovements indicative of the
material prosperity of farming commu-
nifty, and this leads THE HERALD to state
that o. j. Holmes of Portland is here
with patent hedge and wire fence that
cannot but appeal to every one who in
vestigates its merits. 1t has received
the unqualified approval of many Ct the
most prominent farmers and business
men of Yakima and gives promise of
being largely adopted here. 1t is called
the dayton Patent" and it's worth is
thoroughly demonstrated on Miss Matilde
Guilland's 20-acre tract, mile west OF
the city, where there is four-year-old
hedge of honey locust growing. In the
first place the hedge is one of the essen
tials of this fence, forming the standards
upon which e6.inch wire netting with
two single wires above, are fastened by
staples with staple driver that oper-
ates on the principle of the shoe button
fastener, driving thestapes over the wire
and into the bodies of the plants with a
frmness that defies removal.
Mr.. Holmes supplies the locusts, hav-
ing a nursery of 500 600 trees in Portland
plants them, guaranteeing their growth
for three years, and then attaches his
wires and netting and all for 81 .25 a rod.
years, when he furnishes fence that is
not only stock proof and ornamental but
defies the small boy, as well as those Of
maturer years, to get into your orchard
or garden without your consent. The
terms of payment are 40 cents rod the
first year, when the locusts are planted !;
like amount the second year, when he
goes over the work and does any neces-
sary replanting, and the balance the
third year when you have complete
fence-wired and stapled. These honey
locusts are trimmed at the top wire which
| dwarfs the roots and strengthens the
body growth, forming complete and
solid network of wire, woodfibre, thorns
and foliage Mr.. Holmes has an i'm
proved hedge primer with which man
can prune from three to four hundred
rods day. 1t is the fence for life
time and the cost Is so reasonable that it
is easily within the reach OF those who
own improved farms, orchards and
gardens.
