Nbw YoitK.Jnn. 11. A dispatch to the
Trlbuiio (roni London enye: Lord
Melhuen has boon recalled to Englaud.
This statoment is made on t lie highest
authority. It la reported tie was labor
ing under great mental excitement After
the battle of Modder river, and that the
war office liaa conaidered it necessary to
displace him, as ho is evidently not in
condition to command troops. Two
mom bora cf Itia family are said to be
weak-minded.

Nuw York, Jan. 11. A special to the
World from London says ; The London
newspapors, without making any direct
charge, make announcements that Gen
eral Duller la not in good health. It ia
known here that the war office receivca
little if any information from him direct
ly, while Lady Duller gets a message
eveiy day from her husband briefly
.announcing his condition. Gatacre is
alto said to be on tho verge of a collapse.

Nuw Youk, Jan. 11. A special to the
World from London aaye; General Yule,
who conducted the retreat from Dundee,
aftor General Symon'a death, ia now in
London, but in the strictest seclusion.
Uo 1b suffering, it is fiuid, from mental
collapse, caused by his attempts to
follow and save the troops which were
in deadly peril from trying to hold the
advanced posts in Natal without suf
ficient strength of cavalry and artillery.
London, Jan. 11. Even an announce
ment of tho arrival of Field Marshal
Lord Itoberts and General Kitchener at
Cape Town line failed to stem the grow
ing impatience of the country in the
main Ilritibh camps and the cntiro
itbsence of news giving an adequate in
sight into the local situation. The public
and press being unable to form any judg
ment as to the actual position of affairs,
stories are rife that the inaction is forced
on General Duller owing to the exhaus
tion of reserves of ammunition and
there are even wild rumors of a shell
(amino at home.
But not so much importance need be
attached to these rumors. It is univers
ally assumed that with the landing
of Koberts and Kitchener a prompt re
turn will be made to the original plan of
campaign, namely, a great central ad
vance on Dloemfonteln, but the most
impatient of enthusiasts admit that
Roberts will bo unable to move before
the end of the month.
There waa a rumor in the clubs to
day that a battle waa progressing at
Tugela river, but nothing could be ob
tained in corroboration of the report.
The war oflice here denied the report
published in the United Statos that Gen
eral Methueu had been recalled.

Washington, Jan. 10, In face ot tho
opposition ic is very doubtful if Judge
Hale, indorsed by the Oregon delegation
for district judge of Alaska, will secure
the appointment. The delegations of
Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana
and Indiana all have candidates for the
ottice, and it is said that Senator Carter
already has the promise of the appoint
ment. Senator Fairbanks is pushing a
prominent judge of Ins state for the
place, and is backed by a number of the
Indiana representatives. In view of
these facts it is hardly possible for Ore
gon to namo the successor of Judge
Johnson, but if, as contemplated, other
districts are created, Judge Hale will
have an excellent chance for success.
Senators McDride and Simon formally
presented his name to the president as
Oregon's choice for the place.

Latham Girl Who Disappeared on
Sunday Night.
Cottage Grove, Or., Jan. 10. Miss
Winnie Thorn, who disappeared Sunday
night, was returned home on Tuesday
morning's overland, in a most wretched
and shameful condition. Her etory and
experience as told is one of the worst
crimes ever perpetrated in the stale.
She says that as she was on her way
to Latham from church services here,
the south-bound freight train was just
this side of Latham taking wood. Just
before the train Btnrted two men caught
and put her on a flatcar, she not know
ing what transpired till the train got
nearly to Comstock, when she was put
in a boxcar. Between there and Rose
burg, four men shamefully misused her.
The bexcar was locked, and she was kept
there until about noon the next day,
when two strange men let her out. She
went to a house and got something to
eat and ascertained where her uncle
lived, some two miles distant. Upon
reaching there she was given some food
and was brought back to thfl station and
furnished a ticket for Cottage Grove.
Marshal Miller took her home from
the station. When crossing the bridge
she attempted to jump in the river,
saying she was disgraced and had noth
ing to live for.
Sheriff Withers and Prosecuting Attor
ney Harris, of Eugene, came up and are
investigating the case. A physician
states that the case Ia fully as bad as
reported. Three warrants were sworn
out, and the sheriff and constable left on
this afternoon's train for Itoseburg,
where further developments will be
made.
As a cure for rheumatism Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide repu
tation. D. D. Johnston of Richmond,
Ind., has been troubled with that ail
ment since 186-'. In speaking of it he
says: "I never found anything that
would relieve me until I used Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. It acts like magic
with me. My foot was swollen and
paining me very much, but one good
application of Pain Balm relieved me.

Ho la Not Candidate.
MmvAUKEK, Jan. 10. Henry C.
Payne, national Republican committee
man, of Wisconsin, today received a
letter from Hon. Elihu Root, secretary
of war, in which Mr. Root states lie will
not be a candidate for the vico-prenidency
of tho United Statee.
In the letter Mr. Root said he deemed
it far more important to the country,
tiie administration and the Republican
party at this critical time of war, that
lie should continue to attend to the
business of the war offce, not that no
other man could as well discharge the
duties of secretary of war, but having
spent five or six months in becoming
familiar with the subject, no other man
could step in and take up the work with
out going through the samo training.
Being a candidate for vice-president
would mean his practical withdrawal
from the duties of the war ollice within
a very shorfttme.
