AN IMPORTANT DECISION

BY the Kansas Supreme Court, OF
Interest to Live Stock Shippers.
Topeka, Kan, February 1.-THE
State Supreme Court, in the case of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way Company against l. P. Campbell,
as handed down a decision, holding
ten act of the Legislature requiring
railroads to furnish free transporta-
ton to shippers of live stock, to be I'M
constitutional. The court vas unani-
NOUS and it's decision reverses both
the Appellate Court and the Segwick
County District Court. The Court
says:
This is a deprivation of property
without due process of law and a
denial of the equal protection of the
laws, pnd is, therefora, u%nconstitu-
tional and void under the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution.
The railroads have furnished ship
pers of one carload free transporta-
ton to market, the shippers paying
their fare home. For two carloads or
more the shipper is carried free both
ways. This is the rule which has been
observed for years and is now in force.
TIE Populist Legislature of 1897 passed
the law declared unconstitutional. 1t
provided that shippers of one carload
should be carried free both ways.

THE Beers VERY ACTIVE.

Outfianked the English, and Nearly
Captured an Important Detach.
ment.
RENSBERG, Saturday, February TO-.
The Beers outf1anked the British here
yesterday. A considerable force of the
enemy was threatening the British
communications between Rensberg and
Slingersfontein, twelve miles away
and during a reconnaissance by some
Innisskillings and twenty Australians
from Slingersfontein, the Beers were
discovered attempting to get a gun in
position to shell the British camp.
The Australians having come into very
close contact with the enemy, took COW
er under a hill about 5000 yards from
the camp. Thereupon the Beers took
up a position with a view of preventing
their retirement. Some Burghers got
within two hundred yards of the Aus
tralians and called upon them to sur
render. They replied by fixing their
bayonets and shouting defiance.
Sergeant Edwards and two men made
a dash and galloping under a hot fire,
passed a number of hills held by the
Beers, took word that the Australians
were safe and confident of holding the
enemy at bay and of getting out after
| dark, which eventually they did.
The conveys have been successfully
gotten to Slingersfontein to-day, the
British escorts having had several
brushes with parties of from twenty
to thirty Beers infesting the region.
Lieut.. Col. Page, with a section of ar
tillery and $50 horses. got one large
convoy through by Smelling the enemy
out of the road.
The Beers also outfanked us on the
west, placed a gun in position at Bas-
tards Mex and fired on one of our out
posts, driving off one thousand sheep.
I'm Wednesdays brush two corre-
s%pondents, Mr.. Hales. OF the London
Daily News. and Mr.. Lambie. of the
Melbourne Age, fell behind. MI. Hales,
who was slightly wounded, was cap
tured by the Beers and MI. Lambie
was killed. The British took two
prisoners"

SEVERE CRITICISMS
On the War Office for it's Reticences
and Presentations.

On the War Office for it's References
and PRESENTATIONS.
LONDON, February 12-4:40 a. M
The latest dispatches from the front
showing the real reasons for Gen. Bull
ler's retirement and his intention to
try again, quite destroy the comfort
ing andingenious theory thatthe move
ment was an elaborate feint to facili-
tate the main advance of Lord Rob-
erts, a theory which obtained accept
once largely because of Mr.. Balfour's
misleading statement to Parliament.
These seemingly useless r~eticences
and prevarications on the part of the
government and the wal Office are
beginning to be criticised severely. No
word has yet been issued from the war
Office regarding Gen. Buffers latest at
tempt, although the correspondents
are allowed to telegraph with a fair
amount Of freedom, and thus far only
a partial list of casualties has been
published. The dating of messages
from Frere Camp may indicate that
Gen. Butler has withdrawn all his
forces there.
The London newspapers having be-
come accustomed to checks maintain
a hopeful tone, but the situation is
much more threatening than it seemed
to be a week ago. Proofs of the terri
BILE strength and mobility of the Boer
artillery. together with the rumor that
Gen. Joubert is taking the initiative,
with the object of cutting General Bull
ler's communications, are in no way re-
assuring.
Even the most sanguine persons be-
gin to see it is almost hopeless to ex-
pect the relief OF Ladysmith, while it
Is clear that II 1t be impossible for
General Butler to reach Ladysmith it
y equally impossible for the garrison.

exhausted by sickness and privations,

exhausted by sickness and privations,
to cut a way out.
Reports Of the Boer advance through
Zuzuland are disquieting. If they
should be able to strike at Greytown
Gen. Butler would be compelled to turn
his attention to the eastern side OF
Natal.
The fact that Lord Roberts arrived
at Modder river Friday seems to show
that he has been ON a round of inspec-
ton of the chief commands and that
the main advance is not so hear as has
been supposed.
Startling intelligence comes from
Kimberley in the Cape newspapers
just received by mail in London. Il
appears that since January Sth the ra-
lions at Kimberley have been for the
most part horse flesh, SO repugnant tc
women and children, that many refuse
to eat. 1t also appears that the death
rate has been heavy and that the pri-
vations of the garrison have been in
creasing steadily.
This news Is startling because the
censor has not allowed it to be cabled
Possibly such conditions explain the
presence Of Lord Roberts at Modde1
river and the apparent preparations fol-
an advance from that point.
The mention in the dispatch Of Lord
Roberts to the wal Office yesterday Of
Gen. Clements as commanding al
Rensberg is interpreted to show that
Gen. French with his cavalry has gone
to join Lord Roberts and that con.
siderable changes in the distribution
of troops in that district have occurred
The unexpected strength and activity
of the Beers at Rensberg, where they
are rather pressing the British thar
being pressed by them, causes anxiety
There is no confirmation of the re.
port of a sortie from Ladysmith. The
latest dispatch from there, dated Wed
nesday last, reports that all was quiet
then, and that instructions had beer
issued to beware of the possible ap-
proach of the Beers in to guise Of {
British relief force.
To-day sees the beginning Of the
fifth month Of the war Charles Will
liams, the military expert, says:
after all this interval our fine big army
instead of being free to manoeuvre in tn
field, is tied by the left leg to Kimberley
in order to please Cecil Rhodes, and by tn,
right leg to Ladysmith in order to pleas,
Joseph Chamberlain. Yet neither town ha.
the very smallest military value"
Although the British will soon have 200,
900 men in South Africa, the Daily Mai
and other papers are sttll asking for mor'
troops.

''The absence of good maps has cost
much blood. An attempt to thrust the
enemy back from Brakfontein or
Doom Kloof would have cost 5000
men, and since at least two brigades
must keep the door open behind us too
few would have remained to force the
way to Ladysmith. Moreover, Gen.
Butler remembers that his army is the
only army for the defence of the rest
of Natal. Therefore he decided to
withdraw and to try elsewhere.
Another fierce attempt will be made
to force the Tugela. Great Britain
must realize the ugly fact that the re-
lief of Ladysmith would strain an ar
my of $4,000 and that 1000 900 men
would not be too many. The country,
therefore, must be prepared for a heavy
loss and perhaps for disappointment.
Remembering that considerations Of
honor, more than policy demand cease
less efforts to relieve Ladysmith, the

and retreat, regards Gen. Butler with
