Tbe lateat new from tbe frool add liule to lli public knowledge of the convoy diaaater. No credence i given to re porta that Ibe Ooera norobera between &XV and lO.OtiO men Th general belief li tbat there could not have been more than half that number, but the mere 'fart tbat even ao many aa half could have been collected eo near heaJquir tera without the knowledge of the British commander provokea much uneaiy criticism. The (liMiter I regarded at a direct re nil of Ibe inability of General French to cut off the comniondoel of General Oliver and th other commandoea when em-aping from th Orange River. Lord Itoberl'a own diapatcb, dated two hour later Iban tbe Daily Chroni cle', nay nothing about tbe guna being recaptured. Tbe itory therefore, look doubtful, Little new baa arrived from other point. KenUardt waa formally red-copied Saturday. Tbe report that the iloora are masaing In tbe vicinity of Taunga and Klipdam ia confirmed. Lord Methuen difllcnltie are appar ently increasing, lie ha Boer laager or guerrilla band on three side of him, and be will be obliged to watch carefully hi communication with Orange River. TUB HO ICR TRAP. Hutch force raiiinitnil.il by a (ierinaa Amartran. IU human' Kop, Sunday, April I. The Boers, who were bidden In the spruit, when the Britinh gun were Cap tured, were commanded by Relchuiann, a German-American. The Boer re tired this morning, when they die covered the British scouts, leaving two Dutch military attacbee, one of them dangerouMly wounded, in the hand of the Britiah. All the wounded are doing well. Kveryone agrees that but for Colonel Broadwood'a splendid handling of hi troop, not a member of the force would have escaped. The Boer are still holding the water works, and the line of hill behind them. Following the acouU of General French 'a cavalry divlion to the scene of battle, this correftpomlent witnessed one of the most terrible spectacles of the war. Horse lay in the various attitude of aiulden death and mingled among them were ghastly human bodies with the wrecks ol wagons and food and forage scattered wide. Everything told of a terrible talo of a surprise and car nage. It would be impossible to conceive anything more ingenious than the Boer trap, and the only wonder is that a single man escaped. On crossing the spruit, where the ground rises immediately to ward a grassy knoll, with stony slopes, facing the drift one came upon an en closute, from which it waa possible to Ore over the drift. At this point the spruit makes a circular bend, while the south embankment, which is protected by Ibe partially ronatrucled railway ernbankmnnt, enabled tbe enemy to poor in a galling fir on three (idea a well a a double tier of fir in front. When tb ronvoy wa flrat attacked, a erene of Irlghtul confuaion followed. The mule tarnpdd, and tb wagon were overturned, while the concealed enemy poured in a deadly fir. When the flrat battery appeared, tb Boer eemed undniroti of continuing tb laughter, and called upon the Britiah to aurrender. At that moment, however, B Battery, which wa escaping Irorn th rear of 4b convoy under heavy fire, wheeled Into action and began aheMing the Boer with tbe three remaining gin. Tb Boer confew that thie battery ac counted for Or killed and nine wounded of Ibeir loane. Karly in tbe aternoon, Ibe B'ier collected about the convoy, began removing lb gun and wagona, and permitted the collection of tbe Britiah dead and wounded. Our caao altie were lea than bad been ei petted. Waiiioto, April 3 Tlii waa a notable day In th eenate. It brought to a cloa the ibarpeat and moat prolonged debate Dpon any meaaare line tboee diecuMed during Uie memorial "war con- gree two year ago. At 4 o'clock tbia afternoon tbe vote ware begun opoo tbe Poerto Kicao tariff and civil government bill and pending amendment, and lee than an boor later the meaaore, about bkb there baa been ao mocb conten tion In and out of enngree. waa paaaed by a majority of nine, tbe final vote being 40 to 31. Only committee amend ment were adopted. It baa been evU dent for eoma U j tbat tbe bill would command a majority In tbe enate, but, notwithstanding the fact, Uie Interest io the measure, both of aenatora and tb public baa not flagged an inctant. BixixroTiy, April 4. There are numerous indication that in pursuance of their boast tbat they will recapture Bloemfonteio, tbe Boers are tryifjg to torround tbe town and cut off our line of communication to tb aootb.

Winning Ticket field. riaced la the When the republican party met in convention assembled but Wednesday, it knew its plain duty. It waa not un mindful of every principal enunciated by the republican party and tn choosing iu candidatea. it selected men who hold I those principle to. be aa aacred aa Uie cause ot Humanity. Men bave been placed opoo tbe ticket who are anient advocatea of all tbe measures hi.-h bave given the republi can party il peerless position in the nation. These gentlemen bave no room for pessimistic doubts iu their hearts. They chant no funeral dirge over the fanciful remains of a departed and lamented government ot the people. They see neither the substance nor the shadow of militarism in tbe number ot movements of our little standing army. They can find do monarchists on the farms, in the workshops, in the counting houses, or in the marts of trade in our whole broad land. They eee no "crown of thorns," no cross of gold." They ee no crown on the head of William, the president, but an American silk hat, and ne scepter in his band, but an Ameri can walking stick. The legislative ticket is composed ot exceptionally strong men : J. L. KBl'SB. Hon. J. L. Kruse was paid a glowing compliment by the delegation, receiving on the first ballot, 122 votes out of 143. This is a splendid endorsement of bis past record in the legislature. Mr. Kruse need no other argument, he wants no better plea, than to point with pride to every vote he cast and every word he uttered in Oregon's last legis lature. He has 8ent nearly his entire life in this county, is in the very prime ot life, everybody know him and every body will vote tor him. JOHN T.U.BRRT, John Talbert, of Clackamas, is one of the best known men in the county, and to know him, is to repose the highest confidence in his strict Integrity. He Is a safe, able and reliable man to look after the affairs of this county at Salem next winter. He is a man that will expose every sham or anything tbat savors of a 'job and will work indefati gueably for good and wholesome laws. Ilia motto is, "the greatest good for the greatest number," I t n a i, as Tooi.a. Charles Toole, of Canemah, th other candidate for the legislature, I a man whom th people have called from the) work aliop and whom the people will oaialn at the poll. H I at present, and ha beeo for a number of year, art employee In the Oregon City Woolen Mill, lie I the laboring man' friend. Mr. Toole 1 a yoang man with a clean record, and if hi very soul were turned) Inside out, not spot would be fooml upon hla character. If is utter abhoranc for underhanded combination, bribery or trickery, will aerv a a trespass) notice for all ring and wire-puller to keep their distance from Representative Toole. He will be elected with a hand some majority, W, H. SMITH. Capt. W. (I. Smith, of Abernethy, candidate for sheriff, 1 a man who baa ahonldered a musket and won av word, and it la almost eat to predict that be will be elected in Ibe tame man ner that he wa nominated by actliroav tion. Tb affair of th sheriff office) are right in Mr. Smith's line, aa be La familiar with every foot of ground in Clackamas county and bia iplendid army discipline makes him folly acquainted! with the management of prisoner. U ha th retpect of every citizen in tbe county and will be elected next Jane, xajrtrr bai. Clackamas coonty will bave a compe tent surveyor in tbe person of Ernett Bands, of tbia city. He l a practical orvcyor and civil engineer, and Clacka mas coonty need jast aacb a man for this office. With hia many years of experience tbtre will be no mistake, jona lew suta. For tbe county board of commission ers, two better men could not bave been found in Clackamas county than Thomas Killen, of Needy, and John Lewellen, of Springwater. Mr. Lewellen is a man whom tbia coonty baa twice tried In office and whom baa each time proven true. He baa aerved a commissioner and also aa assessor aith a record thai will ever be an honor and a credit to himself and the county. He baa lived! in this county for nearly 20 years, and therefore bat Uie Interest of tbe entire) community at heart, being one of its heaviest taxpayers. He ia thoroughly competent, careful and capable, and no shady work will ever go through tb county board with John Lewellen'a signature attached to it. TBOMAI KILL XX. Thomas Killen i a man of great wisdom sod firmness of character, and haa a mind broad enough to reach all over tbe county. He ia a shining ac cess io bis own private transactions and thoroughly understand grappling with county affair. He play no favorites, but ia broad, liberal and unprejudiced. He ia a practical bridge and road builder and hla election is assured. TOM f, BANDALL. Tom P. Randall for recorder, needs no introduction to the people ot Clackamas county. He has not an enemy in ths county, and the longer you know him, tbe better you like him. Hia books are e ecu rate, neat and clean, and he will succeed himself aa surely as day suc ceeds night. He is kind, courteous and obliging, and no man in Uie county can beat him tor recorder. KU WILLIAMS. Eli Williams, of Corrinsvil'.e, is an equal tax man, and his assessments are equity personified. He is a Grand Army man, and every soldier in the county will support him. He is the present in cumbent for the office he again seeks, as sessor, and this past administration of the affaire of tbia office are a positive guarantee that two terms are not too much for such a capable man. RABRV MOODY. Harry Moody will be tbe next con stable of the 4th Justice district. He is young, strong, active ana intelligent, and just exactly fills the bill for this office. His many friends will put a big X on the ticket opposite Harry's name on election day. ELI WII1TB. In the hands of Eli White, ot Damas cus, is a safe place for th6 keys to the county treasury. His strict integrity, honest dealings and uncompromising fidelity in republican principles bave brought bim before tbe people for this particular office. He is an accurate ac countant, a good financier and just the man for this position of trust. J. C, ZI.N8S8. J. C. Zinser, for school superintendent is the man of the hour. He has had ex perience in every branch of school work. and his pupils serve as the best evidence of his ability as a teacher. He haa been principal of the Barclay high school of this city and is at present employed at Cams district. -Prof. Zinser ranks among the prominent educators of tbe state and always stands for higher edu cation. He is not unmindful of the re sponsibility of the office and will serve tbe people well. (Continued on page 7)
