CONGER IS LENlENT.
Americans in Pekin Do Not Think Him
 Hard on Chinese.

London, January 1S.-"Although the United States government and the Ameri- can papers accuse Mr. Conger of severity toward the Chinese says the Pekin corre- spondent of the Morning Post, writing Wednesday, "the Americans here regard him as inclined to lenency"
 The Chinese commissioners handed to the foreign envoys with the signed protocols a dispatch from Emperor Kwang Su, asking a foreign occupation instead of the destruc- ton of the Taku forts. The Emperors dis patch asking also for the fixing of definite period for the prohibition of the importation of arms and requested that the punitive ex- petitions be stopped.
 'sIn addition to this the Emperor instruct- ed the Chinese commissioners to get par ticulars as to the amount of land to be re- tained for the legations, the number of le- gation guards, the probable cost or the military operations and the date when the foreigners propose to restore the pupnc offices and records in Pekin to the Chinese. The Emperor does not mention the demand of the powers for the punishment Of the principal offenders.

 Racing has been going on in and round Nashville since 1906, and there will be rac- ing here for the next hundred years, re- gardless of any action taken by persons having only the money in sight and caring nothing for the good of the turf.

 Nashville will have good spring meet ing. l will leave tonight for Memphis and New Orleans, as entries close the 24th. Any action that has been taken or will be taken cannot affect racing Nashville, when we have state law to protect us.'

FORCE OF 1000 BoERS
 ATTACK COMPLIES COLUMN

Standerton, Wednesday, January 15.- Colville's mobile column, marching from New Denmark to Vlaklaagle, was attacked by 1000 Boers who were divided into two forces sSa Est
 One force made determined attempt on the baggage and the other on the cavalry, constituting the rear guard. The cavalry was compelled to retire until protected by four companies of rifles hidden behind a ridge, who were waiting with bayonets. The Boers then made a speedy retreat leaving several dead and wounded from the heavy British fire.
 Eventually both attacks were repulsed, the Boers losing heavily.
 The British were not able to pursue the Boers owing to the neces ssity of protecting their baggage. Their casualties were one killed and fifteen wounded.

ROBERTS PROCLAMATION.
Appeal for Prompt Response to Gall
 for Volunteers.

London, January 1S.-Lord Roberts, who was entertained privately at dinner last evening by the United Service Club, the guests including the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cambridge and about three hundred officers, has issued rom the war office a stirring appeal to he country for a prompt response to the all for five thousand yeomanry, whose Hist service in South Africa he highly com auends to the gratitude of the nation.
 The authorities continue to hold hope as view regarding the South African situ- .so1, but they seem to recognize that vigor- ous measures are necessary.
 The proclamation of martial law through out almost the whole of Cape Colony, Lord Kitchener's strong measures against the population of the Republics, the placing on reduced rations of the wives of men in the field and similar measures go to show that there is still heavy work ahead.
 British offensive operations have ceased for the present. It is supposed that Lord Kitchener is collecting his strength for final effort to crush or to capture the com mandoes by a repetition of the tactics which caused the surrender of several Cronje and General Prinzloo.
 It is alleged that the Boers who are
 
 descend into Natal.
 The casualty list issued yesterday shows that the Boers have released 297 British who were captured at Helvetia and Bel fast. The facts regarding the captures at Belfast have not yet-been allowed to trans pire. It is asserted that more heavy naval guns will be landed at the Cape. Information as to the doings of the invaders is hard to obtain, but it Is clear that they are get ting very lfttle help from the Dutch. Twice they attempted to capture Barkly East, but both times they were repulsed. For three days they occupied Sutherland, but. they cleared out-on the approach of British column. Small scattered parties are re- ported operating in various parts Of the Ceres district.
 Apparently the invaders abandoned the Idea of attacF.ng Clan William on finding the town wel , defended. A commando of one thousand has been active in the Rieh- mond district, but there the Boers have secured only 100 Dutch recruits. st

is now called to mind that u s.
Senator David b. Hill of New York,
as chairman of the Senate Commit

bill providing that no alien An.
arohist should be permitted to land
in THE country. That bill was
promptly passed by the Senate on
the doth OF August, 1894, but it
failed of passage in the House.
Congress meets again in less than
three months, and its fret work
should be the passage of such a
bill, together with another making
any attempt to take the life OF the
President high treason, punishable
with death.
