THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The Boer side of the story about the
British campaign in the Orange Free
State is now coming out.
A dispatch from Pretoria, received
last night, states that on Saturday
the British relieving column at Kim
berley tried to break out of the town
with the garrison, but failed. Heavy
fighting was reported to be proceeding
there yesterday.
Advices from Pretoria received al
Lorenzo Marquee state that the Beers
did not seriously oppose Gen. French :
advance into Kimberley, but confoed
their efforts to preventing provisions
from getting through. la this, say
the advices, they succeeded, capturing
1000 head OF cattle, 100 wsgonloads Of
provisions and 100 men.
Near Koffyfontein the burghers, ac-
cording to further advices received al
Lorenzo Marquee, captured over 5000
head of cattle and Number of wagons,
Is OF which were laden with provisions
Intended for Kimberley, Heavy
fighting" 1t is stated.'is reported today

A dispatch to the London Daily Tel.
egrsph from Kimberley, dated Satur-
day, states that General French enter
ed Kimberley unopposed. but does not
cay he got cut again. "The Beers"
says this dispatch, "shelled the town
within few hours of the arrival OF his
force"

General Cropje, with his main army,
was retreating east toward Bloemtou-

BEFORE Cuba was conquered, the rev
enue that would be derived from il
would, it was said by the jingoes, be
immense. But since then a change has
come over the spirit of their dreams,
aud now they say heavy tariff must
be imposed on its imports and exports
IN order to pay the necessary expense s
of its government. There is vast d.
ference between knowing things and
thinking you know them. The latter
often leads people into great trouble.

FALLS CHURCH TROLLY EXTENSION.
1t is probable that the Washington and
Falls Church Electric Railway will be
extended from East to West Falls
Church within the next few months.
For several weeks pact the company
has been accumulating supply of road
equipment below Falls Church, and
preparations are under way to begin
work as soon as the weather moderates.
Two years ago an attempt was made TO
extend the track to West Falls Church,
but was abandoned because of the op.
position OF one or two large property
holders along the proposed route.
Within the past two mouths President
and General Manager Phillips has sue
ceeded 10 obtaining the desired right of
way, and the extension is now a matter
of few months. 1t is said to be the
intention of the management to carry
the road through from Falls Church to

the bill, and City Attorneys Gordon, of Staun.
ton, and Pollard OF Richmond, and Senator
Munford against it. The hearing was a. =
iourned till today.
soon after the Senate met yesterday Mr..
Clayton made statement which occssionet a
good deal OF surprise At the request Of the
Governor he Informed the Senate that there
had arisen some confusion regarding enrolled
bills after oasssge by both houses. He stated
that in enrolling the bills parts of one bill
had been put In another, and that member
OF the Legislature had BEEN allowed to Strike
out from one bill his county as among those
excepted from the operations of the law.
Lieutenant Governor Echols said the Gov
ernor had also informed him Of this State Of
affairs. Senator Wick ham suggested that all
that was necessary was to call the attention
OF the enrolling clerks to the fact that no
member Of the legislature had the right to
make change in bill sf.er it passed both
houses. This ended the matter.
The House committee for courts Of justice
reported the following bills fsvorsbly:
Making the injury to or destruction OF
fences or cattle stops along the line Of rail-
roads misdemeanor, and prescribing penalty
therefor.
Amending the act authorizing Circuit and
Corporation Courts of Virgins to render
judgments against receivers and commission
ers and purchasers at judicial sales, and their
sure ties, il ceitsin cases.
Authorizing the United States government
to acquire title and Jurisdiction over certain
lands situated on Cape Henry, in the county
Of Princess Anne.
To simplify the mode Of procedure In ac-
tons At law and in suits In equity. This bill
was offered by Mr.. Patteson and was endorsed
By the State Bar Association.
