The fight over the bill for a charter
for the Seaboard proposed line to Wash
ington will be in a quiescent state until
tomorrow, SO far as the legislature is
concerned. The Senate committee on
roads, where this measure is now bein..
considered, yesterday afternoon ad-
journed until that time without action.
The committee, however, referred to q
subcommittee several important feat
ures of the bill. The most interesting
OF these are the policy of selling the
States interest on the terms offered
and what revenue the money 80 raised
would produce. The friends of the
Seaboard bill claim inst they have prac-
tically won their fight.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

A bloody battle has been proceeding
and may still be in progress betwee n
the British and Beers al Vsal krantz,
Natal.
A cablegram from Spearman's camp
dated Thursday says: Butler holds bis
position. Relief is certain" The relief
presumably refers to the relief of Lady
smith.
The valley through which it is be-
lieved General Buler wants to pass on
the way to Ladysmith is dominated by
two high hills-Vasl krantz and Doorm
kloof. The British holds the former,
out the Beers in considerable force hold
the latter. 1t is believed that the Boer
guns on DoOrm kloof can sweep the
valley and prevent the passage of the
British infantry.
The latest losses bring the total for
the British during the war up to TO-
pa killed, wounded or captured.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington. February 8.
This afternoon the funeral services
over the body of General Lawton were
held in the Church of the Covenant
Admission to the church was by card
and many were unable to secure adj
mission. The church itself was q scene
of flag and floral magniGcence. A doz-
en- huge Aags draped the nave. Around
each of the four pillars broad bands OF
black were wound and Alabama smilax
covered every available inch of space
for which no more appropriate cover
ing had been suggested. Immediately
above the spot on which the coffin rest =
ed hung the flag of the Eighth Army
Corps. Palms were 10 profusion; aza-
leas breathed their perfume to the air,
and plants were banked against every
wall; orchids, lilies, roses and popp;e,
everywhere added to the remarkable
beauty of the scene. The widow OF
General Lawton shed afresh her tears
over the cofiin of her husband. Her
tears mingled with those of President
Mckinley, who made no effort to con.
.ces his emotion; members of the cabi-
net silently wiped their eyes. Supreme
Court Justices, navy officers, Senators
and Representatives were there. The
services were read by Rev. Il. s. Ham.
lin, pastor Of the church, and the eulo-
gv was pronounced by the Rev. II. M.
Woolsey Stryker, pr esident of Hamilton
College, Clinton, N. Y. Non-commis-
stoned officers and men who served with
LawtOn's command in the Philippines
were the active pallbearers. The hon.
,orary pallbearers were the highest Off
Gers of the army and navy. Besides there
were honorary pallbearers from the
Grand Army OF the Republic. The
church services over, the military escort
under General Merit and the march
to Arlington National Cemetery began,
headed by the Marine Band. Not less
than 8. 900 cavalry artillery infantry and
marines were in line. As the funeral pro
cessiOp crossed the Aqueduct bridge the
u. 8. s. Sylphe fired minute guns and
the marines on board stood ct attention.
The approach of the cortege Was the
signal for salute at Fort Myer. The
entire escort formed 10 two lines as the
cemetery was neared and were caisson

to the dead. A special guard OF honor,

The Campaipn i'm Natal.

London, Feb. 9.-The Beers are ap
parently strong in front of General
Buffers advanced position at Vaal-
krantz, which IS an eminence on the
right of a valley leading TO Ladysmi.h.
Opposite on the left, is Doorkloor,
which the Beers hold. The British
position on Vaalkrants is one of some
difficulty. The position is under a
heavy fire of shrapnel, Maxims and
rifles from the east and of rifles from
the west. Military critics are unani.
nous in the opinion that Butler cannot
succeed in his operation without great
loss 10 men. 1t is further pointed out
that, owing TO the mobility OF the
Beers, be is again confronted with the
necessity Of attacking their centre.
There is nothing to indicate that Bull.
Ter has advanced since Tuesday. Dis.
couraging news comes from the theatre
of war 10 the west. A telegram from
Modder River camp says that after
General Macdonald had lost fifty
men in repelling attacks at KoodoOes
burg, Methuen ordered him to retire,
as General Darlington with cavalry and
artillery, dispatched from Modder
River to assist Macdonald, failed to ar
rive.
1t is realized now that the invasion
OF the Free State from the south under
The personal direction of Gener Il Rob
erts is the movement par excellence OF
the war. 1t will constitute the first
offensive attack by the British on the
territory of the republics. The desti-
nation of General Roberts Is not
known, but il is supposed he went to
Colesburg, which place will probably
be cleared OF the enemy and made an
advanced base. The town will be &C.
cupied and French's mounted force
will be reorganized into flying column
to operate with the invading army.
