ASKS RIGHT OF WAY.
Columbia Valley Railway Wants to Cross ths
Government Military Reserves

Washington, Feb. q. - Representa-
tive Jones has introduced bills granting
right of way to the Columbia Valley
Railroad Company for the construction
of railroad and telegraph line across
the Vancouver. Three Tree Point and
the Scarborough Head military reserva-
tions and the reservation in the quar-
antine station opposite Astoria, the
right of way to be 100 feet in width.
The passage of this bill will practi-
eally complete the right of way for the
Columbia Valley Railroad from point
on the Columbia river opposite Wallula
to the mouth of the stream, distance
of 32l miles, except for that part of the
line between Vancouver and Kalama,
where the building of the Washington
& Oregon road has rendered necessary
another survey by the Columbia Valley
Company. No construction work has
yet been done. but the survey has been
made and everything will be in readi-
ness Tor progress when the required
rights across the government reserves
shall be granted. The company is cap
italized at SO, 600, 900.
Nothing is given out regarding the
forces behind the Columbia Valley
Railroad organization, but it appears to
be very much alive, and it is not
deemed probable that 80 much activity
would be manifested unless there was a
serious intent behind it. A line down
the north bank of the Columbia might
not work to the disadvantage of Port
land, because the bridge to be built at
Vancouver will let trains across to Port
land without inconvenience. But il
seems to contemplate a harbor at the
mouth OF the Columbia on the north
side Of the river, and much nearer the
sea than Astoria is. 1t is said that the
Columbia valley enterprise is not re-
lated to any of the present railroad
combinations, but is a wholly independ.
ent venture:

EXTENSIVE BoeR VICTORY.
British Lost 632 Men KiIIsd. Wounded and
PrisonsFs-Also Lost Two Guns.

London, March ga dispatch from
Pretoria contains details Of the disaster
to the escort Of the convoy of empty
wagons at Vondonkop, southwest Of
Klerksdorp, Transvaal Colony The
British casualties in killed, wounded
and men made prisoners reach the total
of 832. In addition the Beers captured
two guns.
Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, who
commanded the British force and who
has returned to kraaipan Cape Colony,
with nine officers and 245 men, reports
that when his advance guard was with
in 10 miles of Klerksdorp, during the
morning of February 25, the Beers
opened heavy rifle fire on the troops
from the shrub These hurghers we're
driven off, and the convoy resumed its
march, when IA more determined attack
was made ON the conveys left flank,
the Beers getting within hundred
yards and stampeding the mules har-
messed to a number Of wagons. The
kattacking forces were again driven off
At about 80 in the morning the rear
guard was attacked by strong force Of
Beers and simultaneously another body
of Beers boldly charged the center of
the convoy and stampeded the mules in
all directions, throwing the escort into
confusion, during which the Beers
charged and recharged, riding down the
British units. The fighting lasted for
two hours, during which the two Brit
ish guns and a pom-pom almost ex-
hausted their ammunition. A detaeh-
ment OF 200 mounted infantry from
Klerksdorp attempted to reinforce the
British, but were held in check by the
Beers.
Lieutenant Colonel Anderson adds
that the strength of the Beers was esti-
mated at 200 to 1900 Comman
dants Delarey, Kemps, Celliers, Lem
mer, Wolmarens and Pqtgieters were
all present. Commandant Lemmer is

Kitchener Reports a Big Success in Orange
River Colony Anniversary Of Maiuba
Dsy-Combined Movement Forced the
Dutch Against BlOckhouse line That
They Could Not Force.

London, March Following the
precedent OF Lord Roberts, who an
nOuneed General Cronje's surrender at
Paardeburg on the anniversary of the
battle OF Maiuba Hill February y.
1881, Lord Kitchener apparently se-
leeted the same anniversary to achieve
big success by a combined movement.
lasting two dss, against the Boer forces,
within the Harrismith and Van Keenan,
line of blockhouses. The Boer losses
aggregate 600 men killed or captured,
and 1000 horses and 2s 900 head of
cattle fell into the hands Of the British
aroops.
This news was 80 welcome to the
British that it was read out in the
house of commons by the war secretary,
Mr. Brodrick, from dispatch of Lord
Kitchener as follows:
"Harrismith, Feb. 2S.-Yesterdav
the combined operations Of the columns
terminated in driving the Beers against
the Harrismith and Van Reenan block
houses line. The River Wilge was
held by the Leicester regiment and
Elliotts mounted infantry from Har-
rismith, while the columns formed on
the Frankfort and Botha's Pass block
house line and advanced south, holding
the country between the Wilge and the
Natal frontier.
'On the first night, severe attempt
to break through was made at a point
between Remington s and Byng's col
umns. and the New Zealander's be-
haved with great gallantry. The fight
ing was at close quarters and the Beers
drove a large herd of cattle in front of
them, as usual. Mamie Botha, the Boer
leader, was killed and 35 dead Beers
we're found on the ground. Over 100
head of horses were killed and 6 200
head of cattle we're left on our hands.
Other small attemdts to break out we're
made and in two cases succeeded. On
the last day 450 Beers with rifles and
horses we're captured.
"All the columns have not yet re-
ported, as the operations have been
wide, but over 800 Beers have been
killed or are prisoners in our hands,
also 1000 horses, % 600 head of cattle,
200 wagons, so, 600 head of sheep, 500
rifles and so, 900 rounds of ammuni-
tion. The prisoners include General
Dewet's son and his secretary, Conn
mandants Meyer and Truther, and sew
eral field cOrnets. These satisfactory
results are very appropriate on the an
niversary Of Majuba.

WANT NEW SURVEY.
No Appropriation for Portage Railway at The
OaIIes-liarhor Committee Objects.


Washington, March 1.-The commit
tee on rivers and harbors will not con-
sent to insert portage railway scheme
in the bill for a temporary expedient at
The Dalles. Some of the members
were disposed to withdraw, but the i'm
preston prevails that the only improve
ment that can be made there is a canal.
Had the engineers in the various re-
ports agreed upon the cost of a canal, it
is possible the authorization would have
been made in this river and harbor
bill, but the committee generally re-
CARDS the estimate of Captain Harts as
too liberal, and feels that be has not
used the proper care in submitting his
plan, and will therefore recommend a
new survey with an appropriation for
that purpose. The committee, having
visited the site OF the proposed canal, is
practically unanimous in saying the
latest estimate is far too great, vet
most all the members admit that the
opening OF the river is very essential.
The committee will repeal the boat
railway proposition that has been pend
ing so long, but the balance of about
$500, 600 now remaining will not be
converted into the treasury, but will be
allowed to stand as an appropriation
towards canal 1t is expected that
when the bill passes through the senate
and conference this boat railway bal
ance will be made available for the new
survey and examination.
The committee is making a liberal
allowance for Oregon improvements
generally, and claims that the amounts
will be sufficient to insure
the continuation Of the work for the
next two years. Ii has been decided to
make slightly smaller allowance for
the Columbia than was carried in the
bill which suffered defeat in the last
congress, the committee taking the
position that $500, eco is more than can
prohtably be used in this time. II
the house does not provide for a con-
tinuing contract at the mouth OF the
river, the senate will probably make
this change, so that the initial appro-
priati0n will be a matter of small con-
sequence. Appropriations for eontinu-
ing contracts are made each year by the
sundry civil bill
