SPRUIT, UPPER TUGELA, Wednes-

20 Marques, Thursday, January 25.-
Some Vryheid burghers from the out
posts on the highest hills Of the Spion
kop group rushed into the lager saying
that the Kop was lost and that the
English had taken it. Reinforcements
were ordered up, but nothing could be
done for some time, the hill being en-
veloped in thick mist.
At dawn the Heidelberg and Carolina
contingents, supplemented from other
commanders, began the ascent of the
hill. Three spurs, precipitous projec-
lions, faced the Boer positions. Up
these the advance was made. The
horses were left under the first ter
race of rocks.
Scaling the steep hill the Beers found
that the English had improved the op-
p~ortunity and %entrenched heavily. Be-
tween the lines of trenches was an open
veldt, which had to be rushed under a
heavy fire not only from rifles, but of
lyddlte and sharpnel from field guns.
Three forces assembled the three spurs

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, January %.
"A pro-Boer meeting of citizens
was held at the Exposition building
this evening which was attended by
about four thousand people, despite
the fact that the thermometer was be-
low zero.
The most significant feature of the
occasion was the absence of Republic
cans.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
hearty sympathy with the Beers of
South Africa and beseeching the Pres
ident of the United States to act as a
mediator between the Beers and Brit
iSh.

THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL SHIP MAINE.

Perhaps nothing has done more to knit together he bonds of friend
ship between England and the United States than the fitting and dispatch
ing to South Africa of the American hospital ship Maine. This messenger
of mercy vas sent out by the American women in London, and among the
trained staff on board were five specially selected American nurses Such
an enterprise could not, of course, receive the official sanction o assist
neutrality. But, although the movement has been IN individual and un-
official one, the great consensus of popular opinion in America will favor
such a move and wish the ship and its crw all success in alternating the
inevitable miseries and horrors of warfare. The accompanying picture
shows fhe steamship Maine a she appeared 1t the time Of her departure
for thecape, fitted up IS a thoroughly up to date floating hospital.

THE BRITISH HAVE
SUSTAINED WORST
DEFEAT OF ALL.
Continued from First Page.

The val Office does not give any idea of the casualties in taking and
holding Spion Kop, but a report from the Boer headquarters near Lady
smith, via Lourenzo Marques, says that fifteen hundred British dead we're
left n the battlefield. This number is believed to include the wounded.
The report also said that Gen. Butler had been down with fever, but
had recovered.
If Boer reports are to be accepted, the abandonment of Spion Kop was
due ito the inability Of the British to resist the Boer attack, the Beers
carrying the first trenches and taking one hundred and fifty prisoners.
The following dispatch has been received in London from Pretoria,
dated January 25h. via Lourenzo Marques, January 2Sth:
THE government is advised that, after heavy fighting lear Spion Kop,
some British o. the Kop being stormed. hoisted a white flag. One hun
dred and fifty prisoners, God be thanked, although we also had to give
brave and valuable lives"

The Seaford news uncompromisingly
Democratic says: "The Republican
have majority of the members of the
Legislature on joint ballot. We
would like to see Mr.. J. Edward
Addick elected Senator. He has
elected the Republican ticket time and
time again and too much praise can
not be given him by the overwhelm-
ing odds which he had to encounter.
He has come out of the fight without
a blemish and would represent the
State with credit. No men has a
word to says against him. He has the
ability, and will be an honor to Del
eware. Republicans who oppose him
are champing the bit and foaming at
the mouth. Avarice and vanity is their
chief characteristic. Some are show
ing the base ingratitude for the favOrs
he has shown them The Republican
party owes it to Mr.. Addicks to elect
him Senator.

The Baltimore Sun accounts for the
large number of weddings lately as
follows: The large number of weddings
which haYe taken place since election
day have doubtless attracted the atten-
ton of many readers. This general
rush of Love, the boy, and Beauty, the
girl, to the Hymeneal altar at this time
is explained in a peculiar manner.
1t is said that the weddings take place
in payment of election bets. In no
election in recent times have the
women taken so lively an interest as
in that which occurred on the 9th of
November in the closing weeks of the
nineteenth century. According to the
theory which has been advanced a girl
would wager herself upon the success
of her favorite candidate and her young
man did the same If the young lady
bet on Bryan she lost and had to give
herself to the young man. If she bet
on Mckinley she won and the young
man had to give himself to her and
had to submit to Imperialism. So
there was bound to be wedding in
either event, and that is as it should
be; and it is the payment of these cleo
tion bets which fill the columns of
papers with accounts of weddings.

The "Good Roads Movement is
growing apace. A convention is being
held in Chicago this week 10Th to the
24th-to discuss for the first three
days the subject of good roads and for
the next three days the subject of irri-
gation-a matter of great importance
in the far West. Daring the present
season road conventions have been
held in the larger cities throughout the
the States of the Northwest. The OBJ
jects of the Chicago convention are
similar to those of other Western con-
ventions,i. e., to promote some general
interest in the improvement of the
public roads, to discuss the best
method of building and maintaining
them, and to promote good road legis-
latlon in the various States. Speakers
of National reputation will be present
to discuss good road questions from
political social and commercial stand
points.

The Wilmington Sun in speaking of
the Republican jollification there
Saturday night says: "The cheers
with which the marching host greeted
Mr A1lieks, on Saturday night, is
the ua-. possible evidence of the
high regard IN which he is held by the
Republicans of this city and State.
Whenever he was recognize by the
marching men he was complimented
with hearty applause. That he highly
appreciated these compliments goes
without saying. Not a man in the
whole ten-thousand jubliant Republi-
cans felt deeper Joy over the deIiv-
erance of the State from Democratic
domination, or who is more pro-
foundly conscious of the responsib-
ilities the victory imposes upon the
victors.

The Inder and DelGUGredn of Dover
are having a scrap over the result of the
late election, the former charging the
defeat of the Democratic party to new
and bad leadership. The latter took
exception sharply to this charge and
insinuated that the Hlder was in
collusion with the victorious party.
In its last issue the Hnder retorts Sc
Verely and says:
1.-The Smyrna Call, another organ of
the Chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, (Willard Salisbury and
which speaks at his touch of the but
on, does not agree with our views
about present party leaders. Well,
let the brood squawk."
In long article defending its position
the Lnder reiterates;
''NOw while we shall not attempt to
analize the vote in the different coun-
ties. we hold to our position, that We
lost an election that should have been
carried by the Democrats, because our
leaders were not men of character in
whom our voters could have confidence
The vote of two years ago is not fair
one with which to compare that of the
last election. In Kent county about
one thousand more votes were cast
at the last election than at that of two
years ago. Most of the increase was
made up of Democrats that did not
vote two years ago and we should have
had an easy victory in Kent had there
been no United States Senatorship at
stake. Democratic leaders, aspirants
for these honors, in the vain ''desire
to feather well their own nest" forced
on the ticket in some districts candi-
dates of no strength, in fact men who
could not obtain the support of their
own party and who drove away the
possible help of anti-Addicks Republi-
cans.
