DULLER TO MAKE
THIRD ATTEMPT
And Hopes lo Raise Siege rawiM
is a Week,
WILL YET
HOLD OUT
Scenes on Top of Spionkop Arc Said to
He Fearful England Does Not
Want Mediation.
CapeTow.v, Jan. SO. General Buller
still holds the Tugela drifts and will
possibly renew his attempt to force hie
way through tho liner defenses before
long. In any case, Ladysmitli ie capable
of hoi dint; out for a considerable time.
London, Jan. 111. When the nntion
had almost resigned itself to the fall of
l.nlyeniltli there conies from al! quarters
today an indication that Buller will
make another attempt to relieve the be
sieged place. If the Daily Mail reports
of Buller's statement that he hopes to
bo in Ladysmitli within a week can be
implicitly relied on, news of further
serious fighting would be.expected short
ly. But the papers are loth to believe
what the St. James's Gazette character
izes as "unwarrantable boasting" if true.
Moreover, the war office throws cold
water on the dispatch this afternoon by
issuing a statement that it has no news
confirmatory of such a move as Butler's
reported speech indicates. Yet, today's
dispatches from Ladysmitli and Cape
Town give a strong impression that there
is something more than rumor in all
these reports. So, while all definite
opinion must await further news, it does
not seem at all unlikely that another
desperate effort will be made to succor
General White.
A dispatch from the Associated Press
representative at Spearman's arm, dated
January 25, describing the fight and le
tirement from Spionkop, says:
"We filed down sadly, but in perfect
order. The king's royal rifles colonel
was struck dowfti al the moment a helio
graph message ordering retirement wbb
handed to him. The enemy is holding a
thunksgiving service tonight. Surgeons
who ascended the hill were allowed to
remove our wounded. The scene at the
top of the hill was fearful, and a terrible
witness to thedestructiveuess of artillery.
All day our body-beurers were busy
carrying dbwn men.
(irrat It rl tit In Duel Nut Waut Mrillutlou.
New York, Jan. 31. A special to the
Herald from Washington eays:
"All the information which has
reached the prebident is to the effect
that Great Britalu does not desire medi
ation and, though It is understood that
the Boer government is anxious for
peace, the statements made by Dr. Leyds
seem to favor a continuance of the war.
The president will certainly not inter
feie unless both governments request the
use of his good offices."

ASTATEOF
INSURRECTION
Legislature Ordered Adjourned Demo
crats Refuse to Obey.
FitANKFoitT, Ky., Jan. 111. Governor
Taylor at 10 o'clock this morning issued
the following proclamation :
"To the General Assembly, Common,
wealth of Kentucky : Whereas, a state

the state of Kentucky to meet at London,
Laurel county, Ky., Tuesday , the 6th day
of Fibruary, 1900, at 12 o'clock,
W. S. TAYLOR,
"Governor of Kentucky."
The Democratic members-ot the legis
lature declined to accept the adjourn
ment and, not being permitted to as
semble at the capitol, decided to meet
in the opera house. This was prevented
by troops who also chased members
through the streets and prevented them
from meeting at the courthouse.
Fhankfokt, Ky., Jan. .'U. Tho court
of appeals has indefinitely adjourned,
refusing to sit while the militia is here.
One reason is the fact that letters were
received 'roin Middlesboro toduy etating
that the appellate judges, Hazlerigg and
Hobson, were also to have been killed
yesterday.

FINE CONDITION
OF SHEEP
Wool Already Heavier Than at Shear
ing Time Last Year.
O.vtahio, Or., Jan. 29. Reports from
a large number of shepherds show that
this has been a mild winter on them,
a,nd that they have wintered in first-rate
condition. The percentage of los9 will
be very low. borne flocks report thai not
one has been lost from lacK of feed or
shelter. Even at this early report they
are fattening and the wool is much
longer and in better condition that for
years. The clip is now 20 per cent
heavier than at shearing time last season,
is not so dirty, and is full of life. Sheep
men already have begun to talk 18 to 20
cents for their wool, and buyers of sheep
have commenced to lo3k this way. Tulk
of woolen mill sat different towns has put
an idea into tiie wool men's heads, and
the Eastern buyer of wool here this sea
son may find a competitor in the field in
the shape of home consumers.
Winter feeding'of sheep in thic part of
the country is on the increase, and last
fall many who intended to feed were dis
appointed on account of the shortage of
bay and grain. Large trainloads of shelled
corn were shipped in from Kansas and
Nebraska in lieu of native hay and other
feed. This corn feeding is rather an
experiment, and if successful in the line
of economy will doubtless be followed up
vigorously another year. Corn is fed to
advantage, and experimenters claim that
corn from Nebraska is cheaper than
alfalfa at $7 per ton.
Ilobbud the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by (him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes eunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised 'Electric Bitters' ; and to
my great joy and surprise, tho first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for tluee weeke, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.

''Cavalrymnit" Aanaultrri a Spectator.
Lkuakon, Or., Jan. 30. Last Satur
day, after the meeting of the cavalry
company at this place, eeveral of the
members remained for exercise and
drill. A harmless, half-witted young
man by the name of Charley Galloway
went in at a spectator. Two or three of
the young men began to abuse and beat
Galloway, while another stood by the
electric light switch and turned tho
lights on and off to cult Galloway's as
sailants. After beating and kicking
Galloway to their satisfaction, they left
him, more dead than alive. Some men
were attracted to the scene, and suc
ceeded in reviving the young man, who
was at first supposed to be dead. II) is

sons of respectable citizens of this place,
who disprove of such conduct, but seem
powerless to curb the brutal disposition
of their sons.

THIS SESSION
No River and Harbor Bill Will Be
Presented
WORK OF ENEMIES
OF THE CANAL
Needed Improvements at the Mouth of
the Columbia Will Be Postponed
Another Year.
Washington, Jan. 30. The river and
harbor committee reached a formal de
termination today not to present a river
and harbor bill at the present session of
congress. A great deal of disappoint
ment is expressed in the Eenateand house
by both the Oregon and Washington
delegations regarding the decieion. This
means that nothing can be done looking
to the 40-foot channel at the mouth of
the Columbia, as has been recommended
by the engineers.
While the explanation given out by
members of the committee concerning
the bill are very plaueible, there is yet a
feelin; that opposition to the Nicaragua
canal enters into this action. It is feared
by tbosa who oppose the canal that it
will be made a part of the river and bar
bor bill in the senate, as it was last ses
sion, and in a long session of congress
the friends of the canal would be able to
force it through. In a short session the
desire for local improvements would re
sult in some such disposition of the
canal bill as happened Inst time, The
friends of the canal declare that they
will be able to get the bill through as an
independent measure, and will not be
compelled to muke it a rider to the river
and harbor bill.
Because of the available funds now on
hand, tniny of the Oregon projects will
not nifTur on account of the failure to
pass the Lilt. TJiere is now on hand over
$200,000 for work on the boat railway
and other projects at the dalles, as soon
as the secretary of war will authorize
the expenditure; $140,000 for the Lower
Willamette and Columbia below Tort-
land; $111,000 for the Columbia below
Tongue point ; $72,000 for a Cinal at the
Cascades, and proportionate amounts for
other projects, eutliuient to carry them
through until the next hill is passed.
Those Oregon projects that are under
the continuing ontrsct system will not
be affected by this decision, as provision
is made for them in the sundry civil bill
every year.
