Skw Youk, .Inn. 30. A London tlis
patch to tlm Evening World today says
Holler's duller ie now forcing it pelf on
military experts. Tho committee of
national defense ie gravely considering it
Lord l'oburtB, it is reported, cabled the
committee that unless Duller and his
forced arrive safely from their position
to tlm south of the Little Tugeln river,
they will be in imminent danger of hav
ing their communications cut. Lord
Roberts has pointed out that liuller lias
with him an immense transport train,
carrying his ammunition and supplies.
This interferes with this mobility of his
army.
fluller's main forco is now about
twenty-two miles from its -iaso at Frere
and Clieveley. It is between the Big
Tugela river, over which it Iihb to retreat
in order to begin marching to its base.
That part of it comprising Lyttletori'e
brigade, may btill be on the north side
of the Tugela at Pottgieter's Drift,
though it ie generally believed that it,
too, has retreated over the river, It will
take days for Buller's army to get back
to its base.
Meantime, the Boers are in force at
Colenso, only a few miles away from that
bate. Lust Tuesday they crossed the
river there, and made a reconnaissance
of the British enmp, apparently with a
view of ascertaining the strength of the
force which Bullor left behind to guard
his base and communications. The party
that crossed camit in contact with Butler's
rear guard, and killed several British.
That reconnaissance showed the pur
pose on the part of the Boers to cut off
liuller. Should they hurl an overwhelm
ing force over Tugela and crush the
British at Uheveley, they would have
Buller in a trap.

J-
Ni:w Youk, Jan. liO. Advices from
London indicate that the military as
sociates of General White are of the
opinion that he will make a desperate
attempt to break through the Boer lines
and etcape from Lidysmith; that,
though such a movement would cost a
tremendous sacrifice of life, it would be
preferable to surrender to the Boers.
The statement that Lord Koberts ad
vised the abandonment of Ladysuilth is
not generally credited in London, but,
in view of the fact that the supply of
provisions wilt not hold out for more
than a week longer, it is not probable
that any aid can be rendered to General
White inside of that time, and he will
have but two courses open surrender or
cut Iris way out.
London, Jan. 30. The Associated
Press learns that Lyttleton'e brigade is
Mill in its original position at Pottgieter's
Drift, showing that part of Buller's force
is ttill north of the Tugela river.

Fatal AcclUcut to a Lucner.
La Gwanuk, Or., Jan. 29. Kels Nis
trotn, a Swede, aged 28, was killed yes
terday at 10 o'clock in Neleou'e logging
camp, above Hilgard. He and another
laborer were sitting on a log beside the
chute, when a log jumped from the
chiUe and struck the one on which they
were sitting, causing death, it is sup
posed, by concussion, as there were no
bruises on the body. He lived only one
hour and a half. The other man was
only slightly injured. The strange part
of the accident was that tho log leaped
back into the chute and went into the
river. The body was brought to La
Grande yesterday. Nistrom had a sister
in Portland.

Fka.vkfokt, Ky., Jan. Jan. 30. Wil
liam Goebel was shot and very serioue'y
wounded this morning at ten minutes
afier 11 o'clock, while passing through
the statehouse yard on his way to the
capitol building. Two shots were fired
. oui a rifle, only one of tbem taking
"ect. It struck Goebel in the right side,
one-third of the distance down from the
armpit to the hip.
The ball passed entirely through the
body, coming out below the right shout
derblade. It is not thought by the phy
sicians in charge tiiat the wound will
prove fatal, unless complications set in.
Harland Whittakcr, a farmer, from
Butler county, Ky., is under arrest,
etiarged with having fired the shots, hut
he denies that lie had anything to do
w ith it. Five revolvers were found upon
him when he was taken into custody.
A crowd of men wore around Goebel
in leBS than a minute and he was carried
to the office of Dr. Hume, in the base
ment of the capitol, about 100 feet from
the spot where the shooting occurred.
Hume made a superficial examination
of the wound. He declared the ball had
penetrated tho right lung and would in
all probability prove fatal. Goebel was
then hastily taken from the office of
Hume to his own room on the second
floor of the capitol hotel. Guards were
stationed at the foot of every staircase
leading to tho second floor and nobody,
not even the guests of the hotel, were
allowed to pass.

Washington-, Jan. 29. The bill fcr
the reorganization and improvement of

vision for pensioning disabled and aged
employes of the service, received a black
eye in the hjuse. The bill was bitterly
fought by the opponents of civil pension
rolls on account of the life tenure pro

house was again in committee of the
whole, the opponents of the measure be

Washington, Jan. 29. No confirma
tion lias reached the state department
of the reported death of the Chinese
emperor. Because of previous round
about wuys in which the story of the
death gained circulation it is subjected
to considerable doubt as to its accuracy.
Moreover, a dispatch was received ut
the state department this morning from
United States Minister Conger at Peking,
containing no reference to the report.
It is considered as incredible that tiie
emperor should lie rieau and lying in
etutu in Peking without Mr. Conger's
knowledge.
