where guilty Ct polysamous practices, with
the recommendation that 1t pass amended
so as to provide that the investigation shall
be made by the committee on postomces
and post roads, instead Of by the special
committee.
Wheeler Of Kentucky remarked that in
his opinion the resolution for the investiga-
ton was a pure piece Of political buncombe.
The president has full power in the
premises" said MIR. Wheeler, land there is
no necessity for a congressional investiga-
ton"
The resolution was passed without d.
vision.
Grosvenor then reported back from the
committee on rules another resolution in
troduced by Lentz for the investigation by
a special committee of the action OF General
Merriam and the militia in the Wardner,
Ida, mining riots in the spring of 1899 and
their course IN preventing the employment
OF union miners, with the recommendation
that it be amended SO as to provide that the
investigation shall be made by the military
committee Of the house instead Of
by a special committee. The resolution as
amended was adopted without division.
Thursday after 1 o'clock was set apart for
c~ulogies upon the late Representative Dan
ford Of Ohio, Wednesday for e%ulogies upon
the late Representative Greene of Nebraska
and Friday after 2 o'clock upon the life and
public services of the late Vice President
Hobart. Then, at 1880 p. m, the house adj
journed until Wednesday.

GERMANS GREATLY WORKED UP
Continued Seizure of ships Gives
No Opportunity to
Cool on.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says: The Berlin press
prints most violent attacks on Mr.. Chamber
lain apropos of the revelations in lndepend-
encia Beige. The latest number of the
weekly journal, Die Nation, contains severe
criticism of the fole played by MIR. Cham
berlain by Herr Won Houston, formerly a
minister in Holland. He declares that the
colonial secretary trusted those who de-
served no trust. He probably expected to
increase the strength of his position by a
series of brilliant victories in what he
thought would be a short and easy cam
paign.
The capture of the Herzog has added new
fuel to the flames. The public demands the
seizure of British ships in German harbors.
The press, however, advises against this,
as it would be a casus belli.
Berliner Neueste Nachrichten calls for the
immediate introduction of the naval bill and
the conveying of German steamers by war
ships.
The groundless rumors of the recalling
of sailors of the fleet who were on leave had
their origin in the return of men who had
been allowed to go to their homes to spend
Christmas,
According to the Post the statement that
the German steamer General, seized at
Alden, had been released has not been con-
firmed.
The announcement by the Hamburg Ship
ping company that the Bundesrath was cap
turei in Portuguese waters has caused a
bad impression on the public.
The Schulz Und Leder Trade, the paper Of
the leather trade, has caused an investi-
cation into the report that the Bundesrath
carried several thousand saddles for the
Beers. 1t claims that no German leather
factory or maker of ~saddlery has executed
orders for the Transvaal government.
The London correspondent of the Berlin
Tageblatt learns that the British consuls at
Hamburg, Antwerp, Havre and Marseilles
denounce certain ships bound for South
Africa as carrying contraband of war and
as q, result they are captured by English
Omaha daily bee., 1900-01-09

Essex regiment has been sent to replace the
Sufolks Is more bitter to the latter's friends
than the list OF casualties, as the only in
ference deducible from this fact is that the
Suffolks dissraced themselves and their flag
by boiling and leaving a few of their more
staunch comrades to I'LL the Pretoria jails.
Lord de la War;, in a graphic description
of the battle of Magersfontein, says: 1T is
useless to disguise that a large percentage
Of the troops are losing heart for a cam
paign comprised Of a succession of frontal
attacks on an invisible foe, securely en-
trenched and unreachable. Our men fought
admirably, but they were asked to perform
miracles. Don't blame them and don't blame
the gallant general, who was the first victim
OF the terrible disaster which overcame the
Highland brigade. They marched in quarter
column to their doom.
General Nauchope's last words. For
Gods sake. men. do not blame me for this,
will gladden. the hearts of his numberless
friends. There was no accord between Gem
eral Methuen and General Wauchope in re-
gard to the best method of attack. General
Methuen's plan prevailed and the mistake
lost 700 men"
1t was not urtil the middle of the after
noon that there was an official confirmation
forthcoming Of Frere camp rumors Of Gem
eral Whites success at Ladysnith. But at
$40 p. m. me War office relieved the ex-
IRENE tension of the waiting crowds by
posting this dispatch from the front.
"a private of the Irish Rifles, who fought
a. StoTmberg, in a letter to his home says
that when General Gatacre saw the position
the guide had led the troops into he shot
the guide with his own revolver"

BALfOuR TALKS OF CONFLICT
Addresses His treat
est War of Generntion"-riidicuIes
European PrOphcsies.

LONDON, Jan. S.-Arthur J. BaIfour, first
lord of the treasury, delivered his annual
address to his Manchester constituents this
week. An immense audience gave him an
enthusiastic reception. Balfour contrasted
the conditions of last year, when the Fa-
shoda incident had been honorably closed
and the peace conference had begun at The
Hague, with those of today, when, he said,
England had become involved in the great
est war of the generation"
at Is true" he continued, "that the gov
eminent knew the situation contained ele-
ments Of peril, but it is not true that they
regarded the war as anything like inevitable.
II 1t be asked why the government, know
ing the Transvaal was increasing its arma-
ments, did not protest, the melancholy rea-
son rests in the Jameson raid, which gave
the Transvaal a chance to say 1t was arm
ing not for aggression, but for self protec-
ton. Thus we are criticised for doing too
little by those who criticised us a year ago
for doing too much"
The speaker said he believed the events
which prevented mobilization last August
had done more good in uniting all parties
and all parts of the empire than if Great
Britain and not the Transvaal had issued
the ultimatum.
Even the tactical misfortune at Lady
smith or the extent Of the Boer invasion of
British territory" said Balfour, lis not
such as need by itself brighten even the
most timid."
In defending the artillery equipment he
observed:
DO not believe that your soldiers are
sent to the field with a worse gun than
France or Germany would use in similar
circumstances The guns supplied TO Sir
George White were intended for a mobile
force, not for the defense of a beleaguered
fortress. Tho course of the war has re-
vealed the necessity for guns less mobile,
but Of greater range, and these are being
put out abundantly."
After eXtolling the sea transport and the
ready response of the reserves, he declared
that the government had given the generals
an absolutely free hand; that the war was
lone in defense of our African empire, I"
and that, through good and evil fortune,
they would pursue it unswervingly TO the
end, so that no such war should ever be
waged In South Africa again,
In conclusion Balfour ridiculed the for
eign prophesies that the dissolution of the
British empire was about to begin.
