London Money Market Continues to

PUSH CLUBS BIG MEETING

One Of the most important meetings
of the Push Club vas held last night
There was a good attendance, and
many subjects bearing upon local mat
ters Of interest were freely discussed.
A communication was received from
Fish Commissioner Reed relative to the
reported deposit of sawdust Ipon
Clatsop plains. Mr.. Reed said he had
visited the premises only recently and
was convinced that it was not sawdust
but bark and slickens washed up from
the river. He was not certain that
these deposits would injure the clans
in that vicinity. but would cooperate
with the club in any step they desired
to take to clear off the territory.
Lighthouse Inspector Pausig report
ed that as soon as cable connections
could be established with Tillamook
rock lighthouse the weather and ships
lying outside would be reported. He
was not certain as TO when the work
would be completed but thought it
would be within a brief period.
Mr.. Hildebrand was added to the
committee on rules.
Considerable discussion was brought
out on the 'three-roads" proposition.
d. H. Welch, who is one of the re-
monstrants to the petition, took occa-
sion TO express his reasons for object
ing to the enterprise. Mr.. Welch
stated that he was in favor of the
road being built but felt that the ex-
pense incurred in the construction
could not we'll be borne by the tax
payers at this time.

THE sPIoNKoP MOVEMENT.
Interesting Details of Warren's Ad
vance and Retreat.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Herald's
military expert discussing the situa-
tion in South Africa, says:
General Buffers flank movement to
reach Ladysmith has come to naught.
Repulsed in his first attempt to cross
the Tugela by frontal attack at Co.
lensO, he has now been compelled to
give up his attempt to pass around the
of the Boer line. His new repulse may
have been equally disastrous in casual
ties and certainly must be more dam
aging to his reputation for generalship
and have greater effect on the issue
Of the Natal campaign.
After Sir George White had sue
! oeeded in bearing off the determined
attack of the Beers at Caesars camp,
the development Of Buffers new plans
became inevitable. His preparations
had been deliberate, but nothing was
allowed to become known as to his real
intentions until a dispatch from the
general himself announced that he had
seized Potgieter's drift, on the Upper
Tugela and was getting his forces
across.
Four or five days followed, in the
course Of which General Lyttleton
placed his brigade on the north side
Of Potgieter's drift ready to attack a
Boer position at Brakfontein com
manding the road to Dewdrop, while
General Warren was preparing to
throw his division against the extreme
right Of the long line Of the Beers.
Warren had crossed at richards
drift, some five or six miles to the west
of Potgleter's. He had met with more
opposition, but his cavalry under Lord
Dundonald were apparently able to
.reconnoiter for a considerable distance
in the dire,tion Of Acton Homes, work
ing round on Warrens far left.
