BRITISH FIND LITTLE OPPOSITION Roada 1st Terriala CtUUi, So Dntch May to Oct Safe ly Awar-Bobnti' Resort. LONDON, April 25. S M. The re porta that the siege 01 Wepener has been practically raised were apparently premature. The Boer Attack upon Colonel Dalgetys northern position, as described from Maseru, was probably a final at tempt to rush the garrison before secur ing a. safe retreat, and as Colonel Dal gety successfully repulsed the attack, lit tle further anxiety Is felt on his account. Lord Roberts has noir spread & net with some 40,000 or more men and 150 guns, cov ering the whole -western semi-circle around Wepener. while General Hamilton has occupied the waterworks practically without opposition. The Seventh Division, under General Tucker, assisted by naval guns, has made & demonstration from Karee Siding, the Boers showing some opposition. At the same time a brigade moved out from Glen to take up a position on a range ot hills at Gennaadenale. north of the Mod der. The waterworks were found un damaged, with the exception of the re moval of the sliding valves of the pump ing engines. The Boers now can only escape, with out risking an encounter, northward to Ladybrand, and the chance of a success ful outcome, of the plans of Lord Roberts depends on whether' the British troops can reach Thabnnchu and Ijadybrand be fore the retreating commandoes from De "Wet's Dorp and Wepener. All the cor respondents report that the roods are in a terrible condition, which accounts for the slow progress of the British columns, and if the Boers are as well Informed of the British plans as they hitherto have been, they are likely again to escape. It Is now within three weeks of the date for the British occupation of Pretoria, and. although the present operations, as sug gested In some quarters, may be the be ginning of the main advance, it Is not certain that they will not entail a further halt at Blocmfonteln. Battle In Proa-reas. ALIWAL NORTH. April 24. It is report ed that firing 'has been heard between Zastron and Wepener, and It is "believed that Generals Brabant and Hart are In contact with the enemy.

Before leaving, the commandant com pelled a number of unwilling burghers to Join the fighting force by threats of con fiscating their property. "The march hither from Aliwal North has been most trying. The roads are In a terrible condition, and the country is full of swamps and rocky passes. The transport, however, surmounted all dif ficulties successfully. "General Brabant commands the Colo nial Cavalry division, and the brigade under General Hart forms the advanced position of the column.

Last Friday 33 natives Issued forth to recover some cattle whlch'had been looted by the Boers. They were betrayed to the Boers who surrounded them while they were sleeping, and shot them all but one, giving no quarter. One escaped to tell the tale.

LOST BY ONE VOTE Quay Refused a Seat In the United States Senate. CLOSING DAY QF THE DEBATE The Tote on the Chandler Resolu tion, That Settled Hie Case, Stood 33 to 33. WASHINGTON.April 24. Hon. Matthew S. Quay was today refused a seat In the United States Senate on the appointment of the Governor of Pennsylvania, by a vote of 33 to 22. The entire time of tho Senate today was devoted to debate upon the question, many of the greatest lawyers and orators of the body delivering speeches. As the day's session wore on and the hour for the final vote ap proached, the galleries filled until tney were thronged with multitudes, while other multitudes were unable to gain ad mission. On the floor of the Senate was every member of the body now In the city and scores of the members of the House of Representatives. The great throng lis tened with deep attention to the brilliant argument of Spooner In favor of the seat. lng of the former Pennsylvania Senator, and to the dramatic and flery eloquence bf Daniel (Dem. iVa.). who appealed to his colleagues to do what, on his oath as a Senator, he deemed right, and vote to do Justice to him who was knocking at the Senate doors. As the big clock opposite the President Pro Tem. indicated 4 o'clock, there was a hush In tha ehamhpr.

D.) to answer to his name, although he was in his seat. When Vest's name was called, he voted "No" in a clear voice, thus dashing the last nopo of the friends 'of Quay, who had expected comiaemiy inii ine uisunguisnea -ms- sourlan would vote for his long-time per- confidently that the distinguished Mis- sonal friend. In perfect silence It was announced that the Senate had denied to Quay the seat which he has sought for some months past. The final debate on the Quay case be gan at 11 o'clock. Notwithstanding the comparatively early hour of meeting, a large number of Senators were present when the session opened, and many peo ple were In the galleries A resolution offered last week by Cul berson iDpiti.

A bill authorizing the Secretary of War to make regulations governing the run ning of loose logs, steamboats and rafts ' on certain rivers was passed.

The change, he said, was not based upon emotion, but upon reason. In an extended argument. Lindsay (Dem. Ky.) presented legal and Constitu tional reasons why. In his opinion. Quay ought not to be seatedl. He held that the appointment of Senators by the state executive was provided for by tho fram ers of the Constitution merely to provide for the Ailing of vacancies that may be regarded as unexpected. They never con templated, he maintained, that the leg islative power to elect should be divided with the Executive, and ho urged that in the present case the .Governor did not have Constitutional authority to appoint Air. Quay Spooner (Rep. Wis.) said his long and laborious speech two years ago In support of Mr. Corbett's right to a seat had seemed to have little effect, and had not even convinced Senators Quay or Penrose. He believed the question pending ought to be determined upon the Constitutional view of it taken by each Senator. Per sonality had no decent place In the dis cussion. He did not undervalue prece dent, but precedent should shackle no one. Hale (Rep. Me.) asked Spooner If ne thought It well that this great question should be continually before the Senate. Hale contended that It was better, for Governors and for legislators that there should be an end of such contemlons. "I shall be glad," said Spooner, "If this discussion shall lead to legislation or a Constitutional amendment that will put an end to the possibility of such cases." In conclusion, Spooner contended for liberal statesmanship, and not a narrow view of the case. Neither personal ties nor popularity would Influence bis vote, which should be cast for Quay. Stewart (SIL Nev.) explained tnat he had voted against the seating of Corbett two years ago because he did not twnk "Mr. Corbett came here with clean hands. I have not the slightest doubt that the Governor in any case like the one pending has perfect right to appoint the Senator." Turner (Fus. Wash.) said his convic tions compelled him to vote against Quay, although he had voted In favor of seat ing Corbett. He differentiated between the two cases. "Thls'is a Judicial question," said Daniel (Dem. Va,), "and ought to be decided upon Judicial principles. According to my legal convictions. Quay Is entitled to n seat In this body; and. so believing, I will so vote." Daniel concluded at 3:50 o'clock. During the afternoon the galleries had filled gradually until at this time they were Jammed. Every Senator In the city was In his seat, and many members of the House of Representatives, including almost the solid Pennsylvania delegation, were In the area outside of the rowe of desks. The Joint resolution providing for the filling of temporary ofllces In Porto Rico was sent to conference. Senators Fcraker. Perkins and Cockrell being named as con ferees. At 4 o'clock the chair announced that the hour for voting had arrived, and the pending question was Chandler's motion to strike out of the committee resolu tions, declaring that Quay was not enti tled to a seat in the Senate, the word "not." The motion was defeated. 32 to S3, the detailed vote being as follows: AYES. Allison Baker Carter Chandler Clark. Wyo. Cullom Gear. Scott Hansbrough Sewell Jones. Nev. Shoup McComas Spooner McLaurln.

ALL THE BLUFFS WERE CALLED Precedent Eatabllahed Blttea Feeltnsr Against Hanna and the Admlnlatratlon. WASHINGTON, April 24. The bold bluffs made by the Quayltes were all called touay, and the Senate, as a whole, is rejoicing that It did not reverse Itself and give a seat to the appointee from Pennsylvania. The Quay men are mak ing desperate charges of all kinds and characters, especially against the men who voted for Corbett and against Quay, but the fact la some of these changed because they did not want the Senate to reverse Its action of past years on such an Important question. Some Republicans voted against Quay today because they thought his continuance in politics was a menace to good government and a dan ger to the Republican party. It Is now well understood that Quay cannot win In Pennsylvania this Fall, and that the same minority that kept him from elec tion last time will be there to oppose him next Winter. The Legislature of Pennsylvania, knowing what the Senate will do. will not dare to adjourn without electing a Senator, and Quay, no matter how many votes he gets, will not be able to hold up the Legislature and prevent an election, as he did before. The people of Pennsylvania will repudiate anything that will leave the state presented simply and solely by a man like Penrose, who was the creature of Quay. There is a great deal of ill-feeling to ward Hanna and the Administration among the friends of Quay, and a great deal of ugly talk is Indulged In as to tho motives that actuated Hanna in pair ing against Quay, when It was under stood all along that he had been for him. The fact Is. Hanna felt that the Repub licans could not carry any such load as the seating of Quay would entail. Tho Democrats, with few exceptions, were op posed to Quay, and would bear but little of the denunciation which would follow such action by the Senate. Quay was much stronger than the proposition to seat men appointed under such circum stances, and the belief Is now general that a precedent ha been established which will end further attempts of this kind. There was a great dal of excitement during the entire day over the Quay case, and the doubtful Senators were canvassed as closely as possible. The only other time whpn an IRue was In such .Teat doubt was when the Senate ratified ,he P-11 treaty of peace.

In part, he said: "A widely prevalent sentiment In our home churches Is that civilization not in its essence, even, but In the mere trap pings of it forms a large. If not the chief part of what tho coming of the kingdom means to the heathen nations. If this were true, then the world, rather than the church, would be the proper agency to conduct missions, and the best evangelists to be found In China would be her great viceroy and diplomats, if such a thing were conceivable. Comparatively few of the native agents needed today chosen of Christ for propagating his church will be found among the literati of China, the Samurai of Japan, the Yangbans of Corea, the Brahmins of India, or the chief men of any heathen society. Oriental society, especially men of that ciars. are usually found to have a holy horror of work. Again, in all the far East today, the most deadening Confucianizcd man Is the liter ary man. To de-Confudanlze him will usually require, not only regeneration, but also quite a long period of progressive sanctiflcation. Meanwhile, he Is likely to persist in his habit of magnifying form over substance, to retail more than his meet of his awful reverence for trifles and his enlightened scorn of weightier mat ters, and to shrink from the impropriety of ever turning himself loose on a con gregation in a full tide of gospel enthu siasm. As a rule, he wilt make a poor evangelist." 8 I "Well-Known CIsrcr 3Inn Dead. NEW YORK. April 24. Charles G. Stach. elberg, head of tho cigar firm of M.
