Early on Sunday morning General
Warron commenced n flanking move

position, The infantry advanced t 5
o'clock In the morning along the ir
'egular aides of Tabamyaina wouutain.

'1'hu Hrltish carefully worked along the
Mils until within 1000 yards of a com
manding kopje, on which the Boers were
oiieoiitrated, concealed behind Immense
boulders strewn thickly over tho hill.
The artillery opened the attack and
jho batteries worked continuously, pour
lug tona of shrapnel among the Boera,
who devoted their attention to muekelry
tiring on tho British inf -ntry. Tho Boers
"lick to their rocky fastnesses with
"reateet tenacity and at the conclusion
of the day the British had only advanced
across a few ridges.
Tho Boers apparently have few guns,
and they did little daumge,

llctult Not Known.
London, Jan. 22.-2 :30 p. m. Nothing
has been received thus far today to Indi
cate that any conclusive result ha9 been
reached by the British forces lu me
region of the upper Tugela, and the lack
of information regarding the number of
men and the munitions tho Boera have
in reserve prevents accurate determina
tion of the measure of real success at
tending the two days' hard fighting. Aril
that can be said la that the British seem
to be doggedly advancing in the face of
equally etubborn leslstance.
At tho close of yesterday's fighting,
the Republicans had merely evacuated
their first line of defense to tako up an
other semicircular position a short dis
tance in the rear, recalllug the old
burgher ruse by which tho Boers had
previously managed to entice the British
into fatal trape.

Bakkr City, Jan. 21. What is in
some respects the most phenomenal gold
find In Eastern Oregon is reported by
Cleaver Brothers, of Baker City. Tho
discovery is 7.$ mileB south of Prairie
City, in Grant county. The width of
the ledce is 000 feet, and the walls aro
broken away for a ilistanco of moio than
3000 feet, leaving the ore exposed 150 to
200 feet in the air. It is said that no
where in the world has such a body of
ore been found, standing, as this does,
where no tunneling is necessary. The
value of the ore runs from $3 to JjO'I ptr
ton in gold, and it is free milling.
Thousands upon thousands of tons of ore,
unincumbered by mountains of dirt and
valueless rock, stand uncovered.

New Vouk, Jan. 21. Mrs. Annie Ells
worth Smith, widow of Itosvrcll Smith,
founder of the Century Company, died
at her home here today, aged 73 years.
It was Mrs. Smitii who, in 1844, when
she was ti girl of seventeen, sent the
famous first telegraphic message, "What
hath God wrought?" from tho United
States supreme court room, Washington,
to Baltimore. Her father, Henrv L.
Ellsworth, a son of Chief Justico Oliver
Ellsworth, was the first commissioner
of patents, and has been called "the
father of tho patent office." He had
been a college friend of Professor S, F. B.
Morse, Together they had endeavored
to induce congress to pass a bill granting
$30,000 for the construction of a trial
linebetwetu Washington and Baltimore.
Morse had been seeking the help of con
gress since 1838, but it was not until the
last five minutes of the session of 1343
44 that the bill was passed. It was
Annie Ellsworth who carried the news
of the passage of the bill to Professor
Morse the next morning, and ho assured
her that she ehould eend the first
message,

CANAL BILL
WILL PASS
Excellent Prospect That the Measure
Will Go Through Without Waiting
for Report of Walker Commission.
New Youi;, Jan. 22. According to
tho Herald'd Washington correspondent
the Hepburn-Morgan Nicaragua canal
bill will be passed during the present
session of congress. Soaker Henderson
is in favor of tho bill cud of piompt
action. Senator Frye, pioeldent pro
tern of tho eeuate, wants notion by the
senate, and expresses the belief that
the bill will bo passed at an early date.
The measure will receive the approval
of the president. There Is an over
whelming majority in both houses of
congress in favor of tho pending I ill and
in favor of passing it without waiting for
the report ot the Walker commisFlon.
Many men in the house classed as
noncommittal aro strongly inclined to
fayor the Hepburn bill, but aro unwill
ing to commit themselves before they
have seen the report of tho committee.
Some of those who are opposed to action
at this time will, when confronted with
tho necessity of getting on record, vote
for the hill. It is stid that at least four
fifths of both houses will vnto for the
measure.
Senators who express no dtcided
preference, one way or the other, are
largely administration men, who will be
influenced in their votes by thedeeire of
the president and the administration
leaders. The knowledge that President
McKlnloy is anxious to see tho canal
bill passed by this congress will, it is
believed, Insure the votes of these sena
tors for the measure.
