HUNDREDS OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS
 ARE ARRIVING FROM THE FRONT
II is Believed That Heavy Battle Raging Between General
 Butler and the Entenched BoGB.

tai, Monday, January 1.-The forward movement for the relief of Ladysmith be- gan on Wednesday, January 10, from Frere and Chieweiey. Lord Dundonald's sounted brigade. with the Fifth brigade under General Hart, comprising the Dub lins, the Connaughts, the Inniskillings and the Border regiment, proceeded north- westerly to Springfield. The position had previously been thoroughly reconnoitered.
 A few miles outside of Frere Lord Dun donald passed pickets erected by the Boers to represent force advancing in skirmishing order. Evidently the Boers had been firing at these from the adjacent hills.
 Lord Dundonald pushed on and as the main column advanced 1t was notified that Springfield was not occupied by the Boers. and that the Fifth brigade had taken possession.
 The British transport wagons extended for several miles, and comprised some 5O0O vehicles. The mounted brigade advanced rapidly. not meeting with any opposition.
 The British scouts had minutely searched all the suspicious country but there was no sign of the enemy. The column ad- S mountain fortress.
 The Boers had been at Potgieter's Drift the previous day, but number of horses swan the stream under fire. The Boers were evidently surprised at the appearance of the British on the scene. A long camp could be seen on Tugela Heights, facing Mount Alice, but the enemy quickly struck camp and cleared off into the mountains. A buggy was seen leaving for the hills on the right, presumably with General Jou- bert or some other commandant. General Butler took up his quarters in a pleasantly situated farm house belonging to Martinus Prectorus, who had disappeared. On Fri day loud explosion was heard. Subse- quently it was found that the Boers had destroyed a bridge under construction sev- en miles above Potgieter's Drift.
 Genra1 Butler has issued spirited ap- peal and instructions to the forces, begin- ming: We are going to the relief of our comrades in Ladysmith. There will be no turning back.'
 The general proceeds to advise the men when they charge regarding the conditions under which they should receive the sur render of any of the enemy. It also warns them that the Boers are treacherous in the use of the white flag.
 This order has been received with enthus- iasm in every camp.
 The march was very trying but the troops are now encamped amid very pleasant sur roundings. Their health is excellent and all are confident.

Spearsman's Farm, Natal, January IS, 1 a. m.-General Lyttleton's brigade, with a howitzer battery, crossed the Tugela river at Potgieter's Drift on January 16 The water rose above the waist of the men. The Boers fired two shots and then recalled their forces to the trenches, the passage being uninterrupted.
 The British advance in skirmishing order and the small kopjes on the summit were occupied by 6:30 D. It rained heavily
 Yesterday Wednesday, the Boer trenches were vigorously shelled in front of Mount Alice, while the Boers remained in front of the kopje and in plain view. Heavy mists enveloped the hills. On the Boer right breach was made in a sand bag emplacement where it is supposed Boer guns had been placed. The cannonade was heavy and continuous and the Boers were observed leaving the trenches in small parties. The hill facing the British position was shelled next.
 General Warren has forced a passage of the Tugela seven miles to the left.

AN OLD-TIME BANQUET
All the Decorations and All the
Viands To BE Norwegian in Char
acter, and Old Country Songs and
Dances to Follow.

The Norwegians of Skagway are to
have national festival this evening, in
Fireman's hall, in celebration of the
signing of their constitution eighty-six
years ago when Norway separated from
Denmark and with Sweden became a
nation. There is in this celebration no
ill feeling against the Danes, however,
as some few of these have been invited
to the banquet. The decorations will
be Norwegian and the dishes prepared
for the feast are all TO be of an old
fashioned Norwegian character, and
served as they were in the olden time.
There will be toasts, of course, and the
program, so far as it has been arranged
is as follows:

cred valuable point in the argument for
the Skagwav.Yukon river route to Nome.
The Pacific Coast Company has estimated
the time of the through journey from place
to place as follows:
San Franoisco'to Seattle, four DAYS; Sc
at'le to Skagway, four DAYS; Skagwav to
White Horse, one day; White Horse to
Dawson two DAYS; Dawson to St. Michael
five DAYS; ST. Michael to Nome, one day;
Nome to Seattle, ten days.
The Pacific Coast Company has an.
nounoed the excursion rate of 500 from the
Sound to Skagway, Glacier Bay and Sitka
and return for the season.
Agent F. w. White has received the
general circular announcing the schedule
on which the steamers of the company
will run in Southeastern Alaskan waters
and between Puget Sound and San Fran
cisco until next October.
The Alaskan schedule shows that the
elegant excursion steamer Queen will be
in Skagwav on the first excursion trip of
the season June IS, and make her last ex-
cursion trip of the year arriving here Aug.
18th,
1t is also shown on the schedule that the
steamers Cottage City will be here with
her first excursionlsts only five DAYS after
the Queen, and five DAYS after that the
CITY of Topeka will arrive with her first
sightseers of the season. The ships will
then come in rotation at intervals of five
days, making an aggregate of sixteen ex-
cursions of the one company to call here
during the season.

will slide far from the mans esteem.

claimed, Extraordinary The noble
man, greatly pleased at the ejaculation,
