community less Injured to unusual and
sensational happenings, but by night
fall the excitement caused by the ap-
pearance of the warlike visitors had
subsidized and the people were prepared
for another turn in the events of new

posted oromiscuously and the men
scattered about the buildings. Lunch
was served to them ut the rear of the
State House. Most of the visitors wore
badges of white ribbon, adorned with a
picture OF Governor Taylor. While ii is
generally believed that many of the
men who arrived to-day are soldiers, no
person in authority will stand sponsor
Tor the statement, while Governor Tay-

men hail from various sections Of the
State.

lation over General Warrcn's achieve

ton that his success is only provisional,

Spon kop and at the time his message
was sent off they had not abandoned
the hope of recapturing the position.
Nevertheless, u heavy load of anxiety
has been removed from the nation, and
there is general expectation that as the
British have succeeded in keeping the
hill all day they will manage to retain
it until General Warren plants guns
enough on it to dominate the Boer
trenches right and left.
A HERCULEAN TASK.
There is the usual disposition here to
eXaggerate the Importance OF the point
scored but the best informed people re-
alize that General Butler still has a
task ahead OF him calling for the most
logged persistence and untiring attack.
and that the difficulties will increase
as the position develops.

and with an upward movement under
the influence of the news at the War
Office, and at the clubs and other re-
sorts there was a notable change from
the gloomy fears of yesterday. The
appearance OF the news placards on the
streets sent crowds of people to the War
Office, and the Hobbies were soon filled
to suffocation Those near the notice

Announcement by Comm ssiOners
Concerning Unlicensed Dogs

The Commissioners of the District. sever
al days ago, stated that dogs wearing tags
issued during the fiscal year ending June
30. 1900. would not be taken up by the
pcundmaster during July. but that the
pcundmaster would continue to take up
unlicensed and tagless dogs during that
month. This announcement seems to the
Commissioners to have been misunderstood
by many dog owners. 1t has been custo-
mary for the Commissioners to allow a
months ieeway at the beginning of the
fiscal year in the matter of securing new
licenses in order that the tax collectors Of
flee might not be taxed with the business
of issuing dog tags beyond its capacity, and
that no injustice might be done dog owners
who Were disposed to purchase licenses
This year that privilege was again extend
cd to citizens who Were in the habit of
securing licenses promptly anyway, by a
provision that dogs wearing tags of 1899 is
sue should not be impounded before August
!, giving their owners opportunity 10 Sc
cure 19o0-1301 tags before that date and
with the desire that the work of the TAX
collector in the issue Of new licenses should
be evenly distributed throughout the month
In addition. the poundmasier was instruct
ed by Commissioner Macfarand TO take up
all unlicensed dogs, if possible. Judging
from the number of dog tags being pur-
chased each day the tax collectors orlce
viii be as much rushed at the end Of this
month as If the extension had never been
given. consequently The Commissioners ef-
fort 10 relieve the tax office OF the sudden
pressure and the citizens of the discomforts
attending the waiting in line of crowd; of
persons desiring 10 purchase dog tags the
last few days Of the mouth Will be entirely

expressed the hope that dog owners will
visit the tax office and secure dog Licenses

possible 10
