HIS PLANS WELL LAID DE EARY'S DEFEAT OF THE KNa-
 LISH AT KLERKSDoRP. Nothing Could Stop the Onslaught of the Charging Boers, and Brit
 ish Bout Was the
 Result.

London, March 5.-TeIegrams received here from Klerksdorp. describing the at- tack upon and capture by the Boers, Feb- ruary A. at a point southwest of Klerks- dorp of iS7 British soldiers who were acting as convoy to an empty wagon train, show that General De Lary laid his plans with consummate care and precise knowledge of the ground.
 The third Boer attack upon the con- voy was delivered from various points, and was very determined. By sheer reck- lessncss, they sought to ride down and overwheim the British defense The British guns she(led the charging Boers, but nothing stopped their onslaught, which was delivered with unusual im- petus. The convoy mules were subjected to heavy fire and, deserted by the na- tive drivers. the mules stampeded, put ting many of the defenders temporarily out of action and causing the widest confusion.
 for two hours the British held out They then divided and were overwhelmed few minutes of cautious fighting. and all was over. The Boers galloped along the line firing at every man who showed the slightest tendency to resist, until they reached and captured the guns. In the excitement the Northumberland Flu siliers. who had been cut of, succeeded in fighting their way out for some dis tance. When their ammunition became exhausted, they charged with bayonets, but were speedily overpowered.
 By o'clock in the morning all resist ance was at an end. The dead and wounded were scattered all over the field. Broken wagons and panfc-stricken horses and mules made scene of indescribable confusion. Not until General De Lary came in person was anything like order restored. He stopped the Boers engaged In stripping the British wounded by the free use of the sjambock. but they con- tinued the work of despoiling directly his back was turned.

MUST EsCHEW POLITICS.
The Presidents Advice to Seekers
 After Office.

New Orleans, March IA special to The Times-Democrat from Washington says:
 President Roosevelt today plainly de- clared the proposition that Federal office holders shall not use their official places to further political interests. either of themselves or of their friends. The case in point is that of Daniel Hogan of Chi cago. who was recommended by Repre- sentative Hopkins and others for the place of Collector of Internal Revenue. Nrhe following semi official statement is made:
 After inquiry of the President as to what the Presidents views were in re- gard to the political activity of his ap- pointees. especially in anX fractional diff ferences within the party, Major Hogan stated to the President that he would be compelled to withdraw his name from consideration in connection with the ap- pointment of Internal Revenue Collector foc the Southern District of Illinois, as he desired to continue actively to partic- ipate in the politics of the State.
 The President reiterated today to vari- GUS Illinois Representatives, both in Con- gress and in the executive office. that he expected his appbintees in Illinois to keep clear of any active factional work; that the election of a Senator from Illi- nois was for the Illinois people to decide. and that he expected the Federal ap- pointees in that State to serve their party by doing their work iE their respective offices in first class shape and by re-
 
 tiv!ty in connection with matters with which the Federal administration had no proper concern.
 Not satisfied that his pronouncement in the Hogan case would prove sufficient to clear the political atmosphere in Illinois, President Roosevelt today summoned to the White House Comptroller of the Cur rency Wm. B. RidGley,,i the son-in-law of Senator Cullom. who was recently ap- pointed from the State. He told Mir Ridgley that 1t had been charged that the Comptroller was using his official place to promote the interests of one of the candidates for United States Senator from Illinois, and he warned him that he must desist from such action.
 The charge against Comptroller Ridgley was made by Representative Hopkins, who is a candidate for the Senate, in op- position to former Comptroller Dawes and William F. Mason. the present Senator The President satisfied himself that the charge was true. The patronage at the disposal of Comptroller Dawes during his folr years in office, amounted to some- thing like $15O0.0OO. and the Comptrollers s patronage is not supposed to have dimin- ished since MT. Ridgley succeeded MT. Dawes.
 In considering the appointment of Dam iel Hogan to the Internal Revenue Col lectorship. the President recognized the Hopkins Lorimer faction, and this recOg- hilton was protested by Senator Cullom. Dawes. It is still the Presidents inten :. tfon to appoint a man of Hopkins s choice. on the ground that it is only fair to recognize both factions iH Illinois in making the several Federal appoint rnRntS

sIR JOHN LUBBOCK SPEARS
Says There ii. no occaslon for British
 Dependency.

London, March L--In his Presidential address at the annual meeting of the As- sociation of Commerce of the United Kingdom today, Lord Avebury (better known ah Sir John LubbockJ admitted there were disquieting features, but he said there was no necessity for despon- dency in regard to British commerce.
 Speaking of subsidies, Lord Avebury said that while French ship owners efl- joyed substantial advantages. on the other hand they had been burdened by bounties, subsidies and protection given to beet sugar wheat, textiles, coals. met als. etc. If the British ship owners were not bountied, they at any rate were not burdened with contributions to bolster up other trades.
 As to the ship subsidy bill before the United States Congress, Lord Avebury did not anticipate that the non-maratime States would remain passive and see $9.0QO,000 in bounty go to the maratime States without protection.
 The doubts he had expressed last year as to the vitality of German commerce were fully justified. Gernany's compli- cated system of bounties had led to more and more intrinsic endorsements In the speakers opinion the. best thing the British government could do for conn merce was to let 1t alone. The sheet an. chof of the commercial world was the favored nations clause. and he trusted the government would hold fast to the policy of the open door,. and. in the case Of North China. urge the United States, Japan and other nations to join Great Britain in insisting on fair play for the commerce of the world.
