Steamers Taking Freight as
Far as Caribou.
LAKE MARSH IS SOLID
Only Obstruction to Navigation in a
Few Days Will Be Shallow Water
at Caribou-Water Rising Three
Inches Per Day.

Lake Bennett is at last positively open
to navigation and has been traversed from
end to end by steamer. The first boat to
accomplish the feat is the White Pass &
Yukon routes steamer Australian. She
made the trip down the lake from Bennett
in five hours, going laden with railroad
iron, and got back at 4p, m, yesterday
and began to load another cargo for CARTS
bou. On the trip down the vessel plowed
her way through three miles of ice. On
the return the vessel found the ice had
closed again and had considerable difficulty
in getting through, probably owing to the
fact she was light.
As soon as the Australian got back the
Alpha, it is reported, started through the
track of the Australian for Caribou.

THE BRITISH FORCES SUFFER TWO
 SEVERE LOSSES IN MINOR BATTLES
Garrison at Euuman Surrendered Arms Ammunition and 12O
 Men, Including Two Captains, to BOGn

painful undercurrent of ominous forebod- ing, mainly caused by tine fact that while the Boers have now changed their tactics and assumed the offensive, General Butler is apparently unable to do more to assist General White than in making a demon- stration.
 The Morning Post says: 'iHe might as we'll have ordered display of fireworks" As the heliograph ceased working yes- terday (Sunday), it is presumed that Gen eral Whites last message was sent by a pigeon or runner. Its purport is serious enough. az5.
 The Times publishes a dispatch from Ladysmith, dated January 1, recording two night movements on the part of the Boers to assault the town. These had to be aban- doned when the British defences were reached, but the correspondent say 1t was apparent that the great attack would not long be delayed He adds:
 Loyalty supported by their civilians, the garrison can hold out for a considerable period. We are not yet reduced to half ra- tions. The greatest difficulty is hospital ac- commoda tions for the wounded and sick
 Little Doubt as 10 the Meaning
 
 of the Boer attack. A dispatch from tho Boer camp at Colenso dated Thursday last and sent by way of Lourenzo Marquez, mentions that thunderstorm had turned the dry ravines into torrents and flooded the Tugela.
 "Doubtless General Joubert felt sure he had secured couple of days in which he could attack Ladysmith without fear of in- reference from General Butler, who, even if he decided to attempt to relieve the town, would probably occupy three days in reach ing it by even victorious advance. Apparently on Saturday General Butler was not ready to attack. Possibly General Joubert anticipated that General Butler would shortly deliver an attack and in that case. General Butler may have actually opened battle yesterday.
 Great Britain has to face the terrible pos sibility that the next news will be the fall of Ladysmith The disqueting feature is that the Boers seem to have had sufficient forces to deter General Butler from attack (Continued on Second Page).

London, Jnauary 7.-The war office here publishes the following dispatch from Gen. eral Forestier-Walxer, commanding at Capetown:
 General French reports under date of January 6: The situation is much the same as yesterday, but regret to report that a serious accident has happened to the First battalion of the Suffolk regiment.

 "Three-quarters of the force retreated to camp. The remainder held their ground until they were overpowered by greater numbers, when they surrendered. Seventy were taken prisoners, including seven off, cers,
 General French telegraphs that the Boer commando which made the attack January 4. lost fifty killed, besides wounded and prisoners. The commando was dispersed"

TRIED TO ENTER THE HOUSE

Washington, January 7.-General A. w. Greedy the chief signal officer of the army and the well-known arctic explorer lies in a serious condition at his home in this city. as the result elf an assault committed on him about half past o'clock tonight by Joseph c. Furnace messenger in the employ of the Adams Express company. Today, Furnace, who lives in Baltimore, ip company with friend named George Murhpy, spent the day in Washington drinking, until late in the afternoon, when they started for a disreputable portion of the town. They lost their way and finally reached the northwestern section of the city beyond the state, war and navy de- partments.
 They first tried to get admission to the residence of E. D. King, but being unable to do so, continued their way up G street. Twice they went to the house of General Greedy. The first attempt to obtain ad- mission was made as friend of the family calling to pay visit to the daughter of the general.
 Later they made an effort and persisted in ringing the door bell and otherwise cre- ating a disturbance, until finally General
 
 Tley refused to leave the house, and after some words Furnace seized the general and threw him down the long flight of steps which ascend from the pavement to the house, which stands on a high terrace. The fall cut severe gash in the back of the generals head. He was picked up and tsken into the house and medical aid was summoned. He remained unconscious for about an hour. Murphy, who was with Furnace, took no part in the assault, but when he saw what his companion had done he took to his heels and ran away. Furnace Is young man 23 years of age, and his run for the express company is between Baltimore and Cincinnati. He offers no explanation for his act. He was arrested and lodged in the police station.

HAVE HOPES OF WINNING
Il Arrested Taylor Will Seek to Raise
 Federal Question
IN REGARD TO MARSHALL ACTION
Governor Bradley Will B. Nominated by the Republic ans for Senator Black burns Majority in Both Houses
 Will Be eTwenty-Seven

Frankfort, Ky, January 7.-Republican leaders who are on confidential terms with Governor Taylor inthmated tonight that the republican contestees may not quit the fight in the event of the legislature and the state contest board voting to seat Goebel as gov ernor and the other democratic contestants
 They have not given up hope of winning in the legislature, they say, but are looking around for other moves in case Goebel should win It is int.mated that they will seek to raise federal question and take the case into the United States court
 One of the questions which could be rais- Lieutenant Governor Marshall as presiding officer of the joint assembly, in the event of the adoption of the rules, as passed by the senate yesterday and also the pros pective unseatng of republican members of the legislature.
 The house tomorrow will take up the in- formation filed in the senate Saturday, charging Whalen and Ryan with attempt- ing to bribe Senator Harrell in the gover- norship contest, together with the resolu- tion providing for a joint Investigating commit tee.
 The resolution is practically certain to go through, as the republican and anti-Goebel leaders say they can not afford to defeat an Investigation. It is probable that Whallen'e trial will begin this week.
 nharr af ha h. lican joint caucus, has called that caucus to meet tomorrow night to nominate can didate for senator. Former Governor w. o. Bradley. will probably be named by ac- clamation
 His nomination is the result of a peace which has been declared between the re- publican factions, one of which was head ed by the ex-governor and his appointees, the other by W. Godfrey Hunter, Senator Deboe, Governor Taylor and the national administration leaders in Kentucky
 The democratic leaders claim that former Senator Blackburn will receive 5S votes for the United States sena torship in the house on Tuesday and that Governor Bradley will receive 42 votes in that body. In the sen- ate they claim the vote will be 23 for Black burn and 12 for Bradley. One senator will and the anti-Goebel senators, Alexander and Hayes, who have said they will not vote for Blackburn, will probably cast their ballots for John Young Brown or P. Wat Hardin.

MORGAN WILL SPEAK TODAY
His Subject Will Be Race Question in
 the South.
NO PROGRAMME FOR THE HOUSE
The Navy and Army Bill Will Precipi- tate a Discussion of the Manner War is Conducted in the
 Philippines.

Washington, January 1.-The week in the senate necessarily will be given up largely to speech king. Beginning Monday morning, Senator Pettigrew's resolution asking for information concerning the Philippine war will come up, and he and probably other senators will speak upon il. This will occur during the morning hour. Senator Morgan has given notice of a spbeech on Monday, in which he will discuss the race question in the south.
 If any time is left that day it will be de- voted to the continuation of the discussion of the financial bill, some of the senators in the. opposition replying to Mr Aldricn. Tuesday, Senator Beveridge will deliver his speech on the Philippine problem, and Wednesday will be devoted to eulogies of the late Vice President Hobart.
 The greater part of the remaining days of the week will be devoted to the finances, the object of the managers of the financial bill being to give much time as possible to th.s measure before 1t is acted upon.
 It is now understood that almost all the senators opposed to the bill will talk upon it before the vote is taken, but there has not yet been any arrangement of the or der in which they will address the sen- ate.

THE QUESTION OF SANITY

Chattanooga, Tenn, January 7-Much in- terest centers in the result of the examina- tion of three leading physicians of the city tomorrow in the Julia Morrison case on the question: of her susceptibility to emo- tional insanity, or alteration of mind as a result of nervous weakness.
 The physicians to be examined attended Miss Morrisson shortly after the killing of Leiden and made a study of her case.
 Some question was raised last night as to the personnel of the trial jury it having been discovered that one of them, named McGill, had killed companion during a heated quarrel about eight years ago over a game of base ball. Investigation showed that the jury which tried McGill found that he did not Intend to kill his victim, but had struck him with base ball bat in the heat of passion. He was found guilty of felonious assault and fined $50. The state learned these facts today, but has made no protest
 It is thought the trial of Miss Morrison will not be given to the jury before We'd nesday afternoon.

Terrific Bombardment Has Begun on Ladysmith, and the City May Fall Great Britain Confronted with
 Serious Problem

Pretoria, Thursday January 4, via Lou renzo Marques.-Field Cornet Visser, under date of January 2, reports as follows from Kuruman, British Bechuanaland:
 'I commenced a bombardment of Kuru- man yesteray (Monday), aiming at the po- lice barracks. The fight lasted until in tine evening. when the garrison surren- dered, issuing from the forts and yielding up arms.
 We took 12o prisoners, including Captain Bates and Captain Denn.son, MT. Hild- yard, the magistrate, and elgnt other off, oers. We also captured seventy natives, together with a number of rifles and re- volyers and @ quantity of ammunition.
 Fifteen British were wounded. They are being attended by us With the help of pr. Bearne. an English physician.

THE HOUSE

Washington, January 7.-There is no pro- gramme in the house for the present week, the only certain feature being the consid- eration of the urgent deficiency appropria- ton 5tll, which will be ready Tuesday or Wednesday.
 Il will contain almost $50, ,0000 900 for the army and navy, and while 1t will pass when 1t reaches a vote, it may precipitate stormy debate upon the conduct of the war in the Philippines. The answer of Secre- tary Gage to the house resolution calling for information regarding the deposit of government funds in national banks is ex- pected early in the week. The report will not constitute a privileged question, which will open up debate; but if it is deemed unsatisfactory to any one, resolutions of investigation may follow.
 The Roberts case will not get before the house until the end of the week at the earliest, and probably not then. The hear ings have been adjourned until Wednes- day, and it is hardly likely that the report can be prepared in time for presentation this week.
