WHEN old-time Southern democrats
come to the front they almost invsri
ably do credit to themselves and to
their section, and present marked
contrast to their Northern republican
colleagues. There has hardly been a
session OF the U. S. Senate since the
war between the States in which they
have not done so, and on Tuesday last,
sick and feeble as Senator Vest is, be
did so in a striking manner when be
ably and effectively defended, from the
charge OF treason" even political OPP
ponents, for opposing the expansion
and imperialistic policy of Mr.. McKir-
ley and the republican administration.
A great many foolish people mistake
the administration for the country.

made public by the war Office today
They came from General Butler. He
says that part Of his forces and a portion
OF those under Warren have successful

howitzer battery have crossed the Tu-
gels at Poitgieter's Drift. Warren has
thrown q pontoon across the river five
miles farther west over which part Of
his force crossed yesterday. The re-

Warren hopes to be able to turn the
enemy's position which is five miles of.
His right front is being strongly en-.

Springfield and seized the bridge over
the Little Tugels. Advancing north .

and Dundonsld had no difficulty 10
holding his position. Upon learning OF
Dundonald's success, Butler set his own
and Warren's column in motion with
cut delay and advanced to Springfield.
Warren pushing on to Wagon drift,

movement to cross the Tugela was be-

General Buller's dispatch does not
agree entirely with the press dispatches

GENERAL WHEELER.

1t was admitted at the War Depart.
ment yesterday that General Wheeler
mad been relieved from duty In the
Philippines and ordered to proceed
home via Guam, with instructions to
report his arrival at San Francisco to
the Adjutant General Of the army. He
may then proceed to Washington for
further orders, but it is not likely he
will be given further active service,
aud il be does not resign will be placed
on waiting orders, If Gen. Wheeler
has forwarded his resignation to the
President, as is intimated, it has not
yet been received in Washington. 1t
is said that the general will be retired
as brigadier general,
A dispatch from Washington SAYS
1t was admitted at the War Depart
ment yesterday that the order for Gen.
eral "Joe" Wheeler's return from the
Philippines was issued at bis request,
several weeks ago. While no person
in authority would admit it, there is no
doubt as to the cause for General Wheel
er's return. He could not, and would
not agree with General Otis, and re.
fused to be held at Manila on waiting
orders while there was fighting to be
done. He will not, however, resume
his seat in Congress Immediately upon
his return, as be may expect. Il is
very generally agreed by authorities on
both sides in Congress that General
Wheeler has forfeited his right to seat
In the House, and he will be advised
to return to his district for reelection.
