Watney was killed while leading a
charge. There was no panic, and all
engaged did their best, but once the
picket was overwhelmed the superior
force of the Beers had all the advan-
tage. A l5-pounder, after two rounds,
became damned. The men compos-
ing the detachment stood by the gun
and were shot down around it. Lieut..
Scarlet, who was wounded, was over

He saw two wagon loads of dead and
wounded Beers carried off. They

the fight at 1880 and arrived on the

horses they galloped after the Beers,

Lynchhurg, Va, Dec. 30.-Five per-
sons were killed in wreck on the
james River branch OF the Chesa-
pcakc g. Ohio railway Mt Reusens. five
miles south of here. Sunday evening.
The wreck was due to landslide,
which barely missed the passenger
coach. Passengers from the scene Of
the wreck express the opinion that
probably one or two passengers are
buried under the debris caused by the
slide. The train consisted of an en-
CINE. tender, baggage car and one
passenger car, which was well filled
with travellers. The train had run
into n rock slide without damage, and
the trainmcn and some of the pas
scngcrs had succeeded in pushing the
passenger car back from under the
cliff. They were trying to do the
same thing for the baggage car,
when second heavy slide came
down. The car was overturned, and
Thompson. Fisher and Shannon were
crushed. Conductor Whitaker was
knocked into the river and drowned.

CHANGES HIS GIFT,
$lO,0OO,0 900 for Proposed Ma
tiOmal school.

Washington, Dec. 80. - President
Roosevelt has received Il formal letter
from Andrew Carnegie announcing
that the gilt of $lu,0nO 900 TO build up
n postgraduate university at WASH
ington will be put in such shape that
there can be no possible question as to
its acceptance. In Offering at first
bonds of the steel trust, Mr.. Cnrncsie's
sole purpose was TO first relieve the
government Of embarrassment in in
vestlng the money. and secondly, to
produce more income for The new uni
versity than could possibly be done if
the capital were all sunk in govern
mcnt bonds, which, owing to their high
premium and low interest, pay less
than any other security.
Mr.. Carnegie will therefore arrange
to offer that the government of the
United States become trustee of n fund
which will already be invested in in, err
est paying securities. These sccnri-
ties will be of such n character as to
be entirely unoblrctionnble. Mr.. Car
negic will at once arrange for the in
vcstment of The capital. and he will in
all proba hility select municipal, coun-
ty and state securities, which bear
fairly good rates of interest
The president is entirely satisfied
with the terms OF the offer, which
entirely eliminates all question of the
government becoming a stakeholder
in the steel trust. The new arrange
ment by Mr.. Carnegie is as generous
as the first one, and he shows no pos
sihlc resent mcnt rs to the question
which has arisen regarding the pro-
priety of the government accepting
bonds of the steel trust.
The president will submit the mat.
ter to congress with recommends
ton which will not only be favorable
to the acceptance of the gift. but
which will make public recognition Of
the public spirit and generosity Of An

De WIT ADMINISTERS
CRUSHING DEFEAT.
Daring Attack Of the Famous Boer General on
Christmas Eve Which Is Entirelv Sue-
eessfu1-British hosses Heavy.

London, Dec. 3O.-The war office
has issued list of the British casu-
alties at Zeefontein December "a,
when Col. Firman's camp, consisting
of three companies of yeomanry and
two guns, was successfully rushed by
q Boer force under the command of
Gen. De Wet. The length of the list
demonstrates the entire success of
De Vets attack. Six officers and so
men were killed, eight officers were
wounded and four are missing. It
is presumed the missing officers were
taken along with the captured guns.
The numbers of the noncommissioned
officers and men wounded and miss
ing have not been received, but the
aggregate promises to make the Zee
fontein affair memorable disaster
to the British. simultaneously with
the above the war Office gave out a
dispatch from Lord Kitchener chron-
tcling minor success of the South
African constabulary, who raided
Bothaville and captured sc Beers.
Climb Steep Precipice.
In subsequent message Lord
Kitchener sends stirring account of
the fighting at Zeefontein, showing
that the wounded and prisoners must
number about $50. He says that in
the absence of Col. Firman, Maj. Will
: liams, who was killed, was in COM
mand. The column was encamped on
the slope of a kopje, the southern
side of which was precipitous. Out
posts held the edge of the precipice.
The northern slope on which the
camp was pitched was gentle. The
outposts were we'll pushed out and
the position, naturally strong, had
been intrenched. 1t was a moonlight
night.
The Beers appear to have climbed
the precipice, and, mastering near
the top, at two Il. M, suddenly at
tackled the picket on the summit. Be-
fore the men could get clear of their
tents the Beers swoopcd through
them, shooting the soldiers down as
they came out.
Fate of Officers.
Most of the British officers were
shot while trying to stem the rush.

with the "pompoms" and was shot

SHAW'S IDEAS.
turc Secretary of the Trcnxury Fa-
vOrn nm Elastic Currency,

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 30.-Gov. Shaw,
soon to become secretary of the treas
ury in the Roosevelt cabinet, is for an
elastic currency, not necessarily that
known as "asset currency" but some
thing OF the same sort, based, perhaps,
on the paid-up capital of the banks.
The governor sees no danger in the
proposed bank circulation based upon
assets, except the one--public preju-
dice. This alone is enough to make
the plan impracticahle at present, but
it is probable, according to his views,
that all popular opposition will pass
away when it is realized that the pro-
jected system holds less of peril TO the
depositor than the present one of hy-
pothecating collateral in the hour of
stress and when more circulation il
needed.
| These views Of Gov. Shaw are his
last public utterances on the subject,
he referring to them when pressed for
an interview to explain his position on
the important subject to be looked to
by his department. A report that he
had given out an interview express
ing at length his ideas on many prob

Dcs Moines, Ia, Dec. 3O.-Gov. Shaw

President Roosevelt bidding him to

fence, and the governor will leave for
the seat of government on New
Years night over the Northwestern.
The presidents letter was brief, but
extremely cordial. Pleasure wns ex-
pressed that the sccrctaryship had
been so quickly and satisfactorily set
Enthusiastically not only to him
self, but to the entire country. Gov.
Shaw was informed that Secretary
Gage awaited his convenience, and
the president vcnturcd the hope that

coming secretaries with himself
might not be long delayed Gov.
Shaw expects to reach Washington on

the value of the products of the hand

Capt. Leary was the first governor

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Capt. Leary
was held in high regard by his fellow

in the presence of two German war;
ships in the harbor of Apia, Samoa,
during the stirring times which wound
up in the tremendous hurricane that
wiped out the German and American
navies in those waters, in 1889. Leary
was in command of the little Adams, a
third-rate vessel of antique type, and
finding the Germans about to interfere
forcibly in support of their own candi-
date for the Samoan craftsmanship, he
cleared ship for action, first placing
himself in position to command either
approach. and forbade any interfer-
ence. He was not molested, and re-
manned at his post until the American
squadron, under Admiral Kimberly,
arrived, when he was sent north in
the Adams, thus escaping the great
hurricane. He was a unique figure as
the first naval governor of the island
of Guam, which he ruled as he would

obliging the natives to marry; calling
upon the men for certain amount of
