Interstate Commfss ION to Investigate
Nebraska Complaint.
NORFOLK. Neb., Feb. 25.-The inter-
state commerce commission opens hear
ing here tomorrow, the object being to
investigate charges of discrimination pre-
ferred by the Norfolk Business Mems as
ISOLATION against railroads doing business
in the state. Norfolk has complained
several times in the past In this matter,
but to the state board of transportation.
That body has held several hearings the
last one being conducted some weeks ago,
and as result the Chicago, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad was or
sdered to equalize rates on shipments to
that point.
Norfolk is situated on both the Union
Pacific and the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis-
ssouri Valley railroad, the latter being
practically part of the Northwestern
system. No other outlet exists and the
business men claim they are discriminat-
ed against to such an extent as to Sc
riously interfere with their business in
terests Among determinations charged
in the complaint to be filed tomorrow are.
the following: Rates on 10000 pounds
first class freight from Duluth to Nor
folk $3.50; Duluth to Lincoln, 142 miles
further, $170; Duluth to Florence, Neb.,
152 miles further, $3.50.
A similar schedule of rates on Chicago
shipments is also submitted.

Of United states Sentiment.


DETROIT, Feb. 2.-Leaders in this
state of the pro-Boer movement are ar
ranging to call a conference in Detroit

states for the purpose Of consolidating
the movement in the hope that such unit
ed effort may be influential In preparing
the way for mediation and arbitration OF
the British-Boer differences.
The originator of this movement, Sybrf-
ant Wessel.us, of Grand Rapids, was one
of the speakers at mass meeting held

Comes Up for Discussion I'm the Sem
ate This Week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The time Of
the senate during the present week Will
be divided between the questions of the
finances, the government policy towards
the insular possessions and the seating of
Senator Quay upon the nomination OF the
governor of Pennsylvania. The Hawaiian
bill remains the unfinished business, sub
ject to removal at any time by the Quay
resolution, and also by the conference re-
port upon the currency bill.
Senator Aldrieh has given notice that
he will make a speech In explanation OF
the currency bill agreement on Wednes-
day, and that he will call it up the next
day, and then ask final action upon it.
The request, of course, will lead to a spir-
ited contest, to many sharp sp2 2eches, and
to the final adoption of the report by
practically the same vote by which the
bill originally passed the senate. The
matter may be before the senate for sew
eral days.
There will be number of speeches dur
ing the week on the Quay resolution, and
there is a probability of reaching vote
on it the latter part of the week. Sena-
tor Chandler probably will speak for Mr
Ouay Monday and Senator Turley In
opposition Later in the week Senators
Hoar and Penrose will talk for Mr.. Quay,
and Senator Burrows in opposition. After
these, only a short session will be held
Senator Penrose says he will make an
effort to have the discussion confined to
the morning hour, so as not to interfere
with, other questions before the senate,
but that if a disposition to delay the vote
should become apparent, he will then
press the Quay matter, He counts upon
a vote late in the week, and says he ex :
poets a larger vote than was cast In Mr
Quay's favor in taking the resolution up
When the Hawaiian bill is voted upon
the Puerto Rican bill will be taken up.
Senator Depew, on Thursday, will speak
on the problems connected with the Phil
ippine islands.

CROlJE'S STUBBORN FIGHT

COLENSO, Natal, Feb. A.-The Beers,
who had been reinforced, made stand on
Thursday at Grobler's Kloof and on q
range of hills running east. They had
been forced from all their positions on
the right.
Gen. Lyttleton's division, on Thursday,
advanced under cover of the kopjes. The
Beers fired a few shots and a Long
Tom" The British artillery was well
sheltered in action at daybreak and until
late In the afternoon, when heavy rifle
fire on both sides developed.
The British infantry had advanced a
mile and half and continuous fire was
kept up until after dark The Beers
stuck to their positions. The British ar
tillery fire was irregular. A few salvoes
were sent toward the thickly wooded
spots and ravines from which the Boer
fire was heaviest. The Beers sent shells
into the headquarters baggage, close to
the hospital, but no material damage was
DONE Gen. Wynne was slightly wounded.
The Boer positions are not considered
strong with the exception of Groebler's
Kloof. The hills eastward are not so
high and cannot be intrenched so well as
the mountains which the British have
taken.
The Somersets were the first across the
pontoons on Wednesday. They We're SUBJ
jected to a heavy fire for five hours in
an isolated position. 1t was the first
time they had been under fire, and they
behaved excellently.
Early on Friday a severe rifle fire was
resumed on the right and front from the
positions held over night by both sides.
The British naval guns, howitzers, mouns
tain and field batteries shelled the Boer
trenches incessantly The Beers replied
with two heavy guns, some of their shells
bursting over the hospital. AS a result
the British wounded were removed.
During the afternoon the Fifth bri-
gade, the Inniskillins and Dublins lead
ing, began to advance up the hills In
spite of the constant shelling the Beers
stood up in the trenches, aiming delib-
erately down the hills. The infantry ad-
vance was further covered by parties on
the right and left, firing volleys. 1t was
slow, the British taking advantage Of
every bit of natural cover The Beers

dark the British infantry had reached
within few hundred yards of the first
line of Boer trenches.

says:
The Mexican federal troops under Gen.
Torres have saved Guayamas from the
Yaquis, but by dint of the 6ercest fight
ing Of the war and at sacrifice of 200
soldiers. The town here Is filed with
wounded and all the public buildings are
utilized.
Torres anticipated the surprise the Ya-
quis intended. The Indians were accom-
cowboys who acted as commanders of
separate companies of forty men each.
The Yaquis had also a Maxim gun, which
had been smuggled through at Bisbee,
Ariz., in load of machinery The gun
was manipulated; the Mexicans claim, by
two ex-rough riders. Torres reached here
Thursday afternoon and then decided to
advance his army of 700 men in two di-
visions. The first and strongest f1anked
by the gunboat Democratic, left here at
daybreak Friday morning. No scouts pre-
ceded the force and the first intimation
of the presence of the Yaqnis was a with
ering fire from the Maxim and of rifle vol
leys from concealed fortifeations in a
dense thicket. The first division retreated
in confusion and was sheltered in the
timber growth along the river. More
than 100 men fell at this first fire. The
Democratic then steamed up and swept
the thlcket with her machine gunus, but
evidently ineffectivezy Her forward
decks were swept and the protected up

ocrata drifted for more than half mile
until a bend in the river sheltered her.
Later in the afternoon hill signals show
ed the waiting commanders of the First
division that the second detachment had
reached the neighboring heights to the
southeast in it's flank movement. A SIM
ultaneous attack was then made from
the front and flank and the Indians re-
treated. The Maxim gun, displaced and
useless, was brought into Pottam, and
seventy-three Indians. the official report
states, were found dead. There was no
pursuit and the Indians must have with
