Contrary to the announcement, maile shortly be fore midnlulit by tlie war ofllce that nothing further wouM be ImwA before Wednemlay forenoon, the following dia patch from (JHtieral Iluller, dated Hfieai tnan'a January 23,0:50 p. m , liai JuHt l)Ofn KKted : "Tarren holda the monition be gaineJ two day ago. In front of him, at about 1400 yardi, in the enemy's prjultion, weat of Hplonkop. It la on higher ground than Warren'a position, bo it is Impoaisible to e into it properly. "It can be approached only over bare ojien alopes, and the ridgea held by War ren are so steep that guns cannot be placed on them. But we are shelling the enemy' portion with howitzer, and field artillery, placed on lower ground behind Infantry. "The enemy ia replying with Creuaot and other artillery. In thin duel, the advantage rents with as, as we appear to be re irrhing hi trenches, and his ar tlllery fire la not canning us much loss. "An attempt will be made to seize Splonkop, the salient of which forms the enemy's position facing Trichard's and which divides it from the position facing Potgieter's drift. It has considerable command overall the enemy's entrench ments. rreparlnf for Nljht Attack, General Uuller's great turning move mont of which so much was expected, has come in a standstill. Ilia carefully worded message to the war office telling this, after a silence ot two days, reads like an apology and an explxnation. General Warren holds the ridges, but the mercy's positions are higher. The British artillery is playing on the Boer positions and the Boers are replying. The British Infantry is separated by only 1 mo yards from the enemy, but sn approach to the steep elopes, across the bare 0en, would expose the British to a fatal rifle fire. General Butler's plans have reached , their development, lie declines to send his Infantry across this cone againwt for. ' unliable petitions by daylight, and dis closed his purpose to assault the Spion kop heights during tho night. This ap pears to be the key to the Boer defenses. If he takes it and thus commands the adjacent country, an important and pos sibly decisive step will be accomplixhed. It seems that General Butler's die patch reach the war office rather early in the night and was the subject of a pro longed conference betwran Ixrd Lands downe, Mr. Balfour and several staff officials. A determination appears to have been reached not to give out the message during the night, but towards two a. in., copies of the dispatch were made for dintribntion among the news paper olHcos. These arrived too late for extended comment. The Morning Post and the Standard touch lightly upon the unpleasant feat ures of the dispatch, and take hope from the projected night attack, but, altogether considered.the dispatch looks like prepa ration for worse news, Necemiltyof Victory. Parliament will meet in five days. The cabinet has been hoping for one rallying British success to cheer the country and to command generous sup port for fresh revenue measures. Among these will be be probably an increase of the income tax to a ehilling on the pound, but this would only provide the cost of Ave weeks' hostilities. The duties on tobacco, alcohol, tea and coffee are likely to be raised. The cabinet will meet at the end of the week and discuss the situation. Political considerations, both foreign and domestic, press upon the military authorities the necessity of speedily ac complinhing something. These authori ties have been persuading General Biiller to attempt his great operation with or without adequate preparation. This impression, whether true or not, is abroad. Apparently, Lord Roberts has nothing whatever to do with General Buller's op eration. General Buller and the war office communicate with each other direct. Buller's scheme was conceived before Lord Roberts arrived at Cape Town, and its execution was begun on the day he landed. The fact that the judgment of Lord Roberts has not been brought to bear upon the movemeLt does not add to public confidence. From Vienna comes the statement that the idea of the intervention of European powers is gaining adherents in influential quarters. . Special dispatches heliographed from Ladysmith Monday say that the invest, mont has been relaxed and that the gar- The positisn of the British forces out side of Natal is unchanged. The for ward movement elsewhere appears to be waiting for reinforcemi nU. Londo.m, Jan. 21. The war offliM has just issued the following dispatch, from Spearman's camp, dated January 25, 12:10 a. m.: "General Warren's troops last nlht occupied Splonkop, surprising the small garrison, who fled. "It has been held by ns all day, though we were heavily atUcked, espe cially by a yery annoying shell fire. "I fear our casualties are considerable, and I have to inform you, with regret, that General Woodgate was dangerously wounded. "General Warren is of the opinion that he has rendered the enemy's posi tion untenable. The men are splendid.' Interest in republican politics is chiefly centered In the spirited contest now un der way for the congressional nomina tion In the first district. Eiirht promi nent republicans are mentioned In con nection with the nomination, and all are putt ng np a clean fight within party ines. Each hai strong following. State Senator George C. Brownell has Clacka mas county without doubt. He has canvassed the field thoroughly, and has his county so well in band that the Tongue men have but faint hope of wresting it from him. Claud Gatch will go into the conven tion with the solid backing of Marion county. Mr. Gatch is one of the most popular republicans In Oregon. He Is an ex-mayor of Salem. In the sensa tional contest of 1691 he received com plimentary votes for United States senator. Linn county's candidate is ex-Circuit Judge II. II. Hewitt, of Albany. Judge Hewitt is one of the best-known jurists in the state. He was defeated for re-election in 1898 because the republicans of his district di I not arrange the ballot in a way that would give him the full vote of his party. This was an accident, and one which the republicans of bis district have since ha 1 reason to regret. Benton county presents State Senator John D. Daly, of Curvallis. Few repub licane are better known than Senator Daly. He was a stanch Djlph sut porter in the legislature ot 1895. He can safely count on the delegation from Lincoln county as wMl s thtt of Benton. A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene, has strong following, an I his friends are nr ing him to enter the lists as Lane county's candidate. Robert G. Smith, ot Grant's Pass, will he the candiJato of Josephine county. Mr. Smith was a member of the legisla ture of 1895. He B'ood by Senator Dolph to the last. Speaking of Mr. Smith's chances, William Huntley Hampton, of Lelaud, who was the republfcan nomi nee for the legislature in Josephine county two years ago, said yesterday : "Mr. Smith will hive the Josephine del egation behind him. He is an able, ac tive man, and he would honor the first district if it should send him to congress." Southern Oregon is pushing Hon. E. V. Carter, of Ashland, to the front for the nomination. Mr. Carter was speak er of the house at the special session in 1898, and at the regular session in 1899. His friends say that he can go into the convention with the support of the dele gations from Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Coos and Curry counties. Mr. Carter was in town yesterday, and was seen at the Imperial hotel. Asked about the congresafonal nomination, he said it was an honor to which any republican might aspire. He said he knew that his friends were urging his name, and that he greatly appreciated their interest in his behalf. "Southern Oregon wants Mr. Carter," said A. Y. Beach, one of the owners of the Lakeview Examiner. "We know him as a broad man. He would honor the first district tn congress, and we aro determined to do everything possible to bring about his nomination. Southern Oregon has large interests that need at tention, and we are entitled to represen tation In congress." Representative Tongue realizes that he has a stiff fight on hand, and is working hard to hold his forces together. He Is sure of Washington county, his home; but he knows that he will have to rustle to get votes in thej other counties, Sen ator McBride's recommendation of Ira g. Smith, of Monmouth, is a move to keep Polk county in line for Mr. Tongue. Mr. Smith was a member of the legisla ture of 1895. Though he voted. for Sena- Dolph to the end, the Dolph managers re garded him as one who was ever ready to flop, He was not disconcerted when Senator Djlpb went down to de'eat. His recommendation for the Alaska col- lectorship comes, after five years, as a reward for the uncertain state of mind in which he kept himself for 40 days and nights at Salem in January and February ' It is a battle royal, and the best mam will win, and the others congratulate him and work for his electron. Each of Mr. Tongue's opponents has hit own county, but no one not even Mr. Tongue has the district. The opposition candidates know that the only way for one of their number to win is to break op Tongue's strength and get him out of the war. The plan was projected many times when Binger Hermann was ia congress, but it did not succeed until Mr. Tongue won the prize at Albany in 1899. Mr. Tongue has the same kind of a light on hand this year that Hermann had four years ago. Within a few days Chairman George A. Steel will call a meeting of the repub lican state central committee for the pur pose of naming the time and place of holding the state convention. There seems to be no doubt that the conven tion will be held in Portland, and that the date will be early in April. Chair man Steel said yesterday that the only- business that will come before the com mittee will be in relation to the holding the convention and the apportion ment for representation. Oregonian. BOARD OF COXStSSIOIESS Regular January Term or trie County Betrd. a. F. Mark, chairman; J. R. Morton B. Scott, cointnlaaloneri. 'Continued from last week) In the matter of the report of viewers) on the petition ot William Barlow, et al, for a county roai. In the matter of the report of E. B. Miller, Henry Brush and Mr. Kleve, appointed viewers at last term of board to view and locate a county road ei tinted in Clackamas county, beginning at the Clackamas co'.mty line; thence in a northerly direc tion, following the old stae road to t ie corner of the property of John Frv, Mrs. W. W. Irwin, estate of Henry Will, de ceased, and the S. 1. Co. to intersection of Barlow and Caaby road at Barlow; said proposed road to be 40 feet in width the entire length. Above proposed route will shorten distance between Barlow and the south line of Clackamas county; about two miles is all graded and ready to travel, where it follows the old stage road and can be opened the entire dis tance with very little or any expense, and will be a great b nefit to the pt ople of this section and the traveling public, ia general. Said viewers filed their report showing that they had met on the day named in the notice served upon them, and were duly sworn by subscribing to a written oath of office administered by John W.

They also filed the field notes and plat of survey.
