HENRY LEAVES CHICAGO.

He Heard Down South.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago, March 1.-THE Chicago which
Prince Henry of Prussia saw last night
by the glare of many lights was pre-
sented to him today by the clearer light
of the sun. The welcome which he re-
ceived last night was repeated and en-
phasized and he was given further op-
portunity to enjoy his expressed desire
to meet American citizens at close range.
During the day he listened to an adj
dress from the Central Bund of St. Paul,
placed a wreath on the Lincoln monu
ment in Lincoln Park and enjoyed lun-
cheon and reception at the Germania
Club.
At the club a picked chorus from the
Maennerchor sang "Neber Hoch" and
''Trink Lied" The next song was my

1t was during this reception that one of

took place. President Fisher, on behalf
of the ladies of the club, presented the
Prince with a magnificent vase to be
given to his wife, the Princess Irene.
The Prince thanked the women in behalf
of the Princess, declaring that no Incl
dent of his visit had pleased him more
and that he was sure the Princess, his
wife, would cherish it always among
her treasures.
The Prince was driven from the Ger

Won by Boer Genius and Daring.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, March 5.-Telegrams received
here from Klerksdorp describing the at
tack upon and capture by the Beers, Feb
ruary oath, at a point southwest of
Klerksdorp of 467 British soldiers who
we're acting as convoy to an empty wagon
train show that General Delarey 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 most determined. BY sheer
recklessness they sought to ride down
and overwhelm the British defense. The
British guns shelled the charging Beers,
but nothing stopped their onslaught, which
was delivered with unusual impetus. The
convoy mules were subjected to a heavy
fire and deserted by the native drivers,
the mules stampeded, putting 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.
A few minutes OF incautious fighting and
all was over The Beers 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 Fusiliers,
who had been cut off, succeeded in fight
ing their way out for some distance. When
their ammunition became exhausted they
charged with bayonets but were speedily
overpowered.
BY o'clock in the morning all resis-
tance was at an end. The dead and
wounded were scattered all over the field.
Broken wagons ard panic-stricken horses
and mules made a scene of indescribable
confusion. Not until General Delarey
came in person was anything like order
restored. He stopped the Boers, engaged
in stripping the British wounded by the
free use of the sjambok. but they con-
tinued the work of despoling directly his
back was turned.
