ECHOES FROM THEIR VICTORY
The Feeling in London Over Events Past and Prospective in
 South Africa.

 South Africa.
 London, Feb. 28.-The Daily Tel tgTaph's Berlin correspondent says he learns that Emperor William has telegraphed to Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, referring in generous and friendly terms to the British victory at Paardeberg. A dispatch to the same paper from Rome says that King Humbert and Queen Marguerette have telegrapbed to Queen Victoria, congratulating her upon Roberts victory.
 The Manchester Guardian thinks that good part of Cronje's army escaped from Mager-fontein with his sixty guns. None of the heavier guns which surrounded Kimberley and did such effective work in hold ing Methuen in check were found in Cronje's laager, and the balance of the 5000 or 10000 men known 10 have been at Magersfontein are not accounted. This force with guns is believed to have been drawn of northward at the time of Roberts advance and has doubtless now Joined the Boer endorsements in the vicinity of Bloemfontein. It is the general impression that Roberts will now advance on Bloemfonteiu in order to clinch the moral effect oi his victory over Cronje by the occu- patton of the Free State capital.
 It IS not known whether the Boers aim to give battle 10 Roberts before the town. It Is reported that they are concentrating at Asvogel, about fifteen miles north of Bloemfontein and that the army which is being gathered there is under the personal command of General Joubert, who has arrived from Natal. While the situation in the western theater oI war is now distinctly favorable to i the British, no one believes that the issue is settled by Cronje surrender of 4,000 men, and General Roberts will undoubtedly see some stiff cam paigning before he can approach th, borders of the Transvaal.

TALKS FOR STATEHOOD.
Governor Murphy Before the House Committee on Territories-SIim Chances for Admission
 This Session.


 Chances for Admission
 This Session.
 Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor Murphy of Arizona, appeared before the house committee on territories today and argued in support of the contention of the territory to be ad- mltted as a state. The governor dwelt upon the growth and material prosperity of Arizona and urged the need of legislation looking to the creation of a permanent form of government for the people.
 The governor made an excellent impression and evidently has the committee with him. But whether statehood will be granted during the present session or not is an open question. The passage of an enab- ling act, through the house, vii certainly be followed by similar ac- tlOu III Ouo SoHdIes u0 Seudl0 GULL mittee on territories is ready to re- port the bill any moment after the house shows disposition to act.
 But there is a widespread belief that no new states will be admitted this session. After the elections next fall, however, action on bills ad- hitting Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma is confidently predicted, and in the event of republican sue cess it is practically certain that a new flag will be flung to the breeze On the Fourth .of July, 1901, with forty weight instead of forty-fve stars iu it's azure field.

Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1900-03-07

The British force was entrapped in the hills a short distance from the town and was disastrously defeated The losses were placed at 300 killed and wounded and 800 prisoners taken.
 Fighting around Ladysmith was at the first almost continual. From the heights the Boers kept up a heavy fire with cannon during the first ten days, the daily lombard ment being enlivened occasionally by skirmishes. On November 3 a force of Boers attempted an assault, but was driven back. The bom- bardment continued unceasingly. On November 30 the Boers attempt ed to carry the town by assault, but were driven back, both sides losing heavily. The Boers left 1S0 dead in the trenches which they stoymed. December 3sthe British attempted sortie and destroyed two big Boer guns, which had been harassing the town from the top of Lombard's kop.
 December l5 Butler started to re- lieve the city, but he was beaten back with tremendous loss. Over 1000 British were killed, wounded or captured. The next day the Boers, flushed with victory, opened a terrific bombardment on Lady smith, but were unable to conquer the town. January $ the Boers again attacked the town. but after sixteen hours fighting they were re- pulsed at every point.
 The next week Butler crossed the Tugela, but made slow progress. January 2S he captured Spion kop, but he was compelled to retire in few hours with nearly 1000 killed and wounded. The next day he started on third attempt to relieve the town with 24.OOO men, but could do no more than hold his own. February Is he made a fourth effort to relieve Ladysmith. He captured Monte Christo, Preters hill and Allagwane in succession, which cleared the way practically to the besieged city. Relief then became only a question of time. The long struggle ended this morning with the British entering Ladysmith, and another long step has been made toward theclo of the war.

What Are You Going to Do About lt1

The trusts are basking in the sun
shine of the Republican party's favor.
They are raising the price of almost
every necessity of lie. They are tax
ing you on the right hand and on the
left; on the food upon your table and
the coat on your back. You cant ex-
'st without paying tribute to them;
and, like Oliver Twist, they are al
ways asking for more. What are you
going to do about it? Some men will
say they are going to buy just as lit
tie as possible, do with less, make
their old clothes wear longer and give
up all thought of building that new
barn, or crib or shed. That's isn't the
wav our forefathers did in l71G when
4 stamp tax was imposed upon them.
They saw the injustice of the imposi.
lion, and they determined to fight for
freedom. The cause of human rights
needs martyrs to-day as much aye.
even more-than it did then. We
have got to look beyond Jar own i'm
mediate personal Interests and think
for humanity. Unless there are men
unselfish enough to do this, our cause
Is hopeless. Something higher than
tho dollar must stir us TO action or
our efforts will be In vain
