London, January 4 -4:40 a. m.? Toere is a complete absence of anything new from the seat of war. The repoit of the Boer attack upon Mclteno is not yet confirmed. App.rently Gen. French holds nothing within five miles of Colesberg Junction. His request forre inforcements dispels any present hope that he will be able to seize one of the crossings of the Orange River. It is probable that when Loid Rjberts arrives Gen. French will be ordered to quit his present unsupported position and to concentrate his command at De Aar or OraDge River. A - TV TfilflOfror\V? ooro (tATI iuc x/auj O?jcj French ''seems to be in the position of a man having a tiger cat in a trap and unable to kill it for want of a stick.'' A dispatch from Dove farm announces that Lieut. Col. Pilcher has returned there safely from Douglas. Since Commander Joubert's return to the front the cannonade at Ladysmith by the Boers has been much livelier. Between December 18 and December 29 four shells killed ore tfficer and thirteen men and wounded thirteen officers and eleven men. The war office acknowledges the inferiority of the regular artillery by authorizing the equipment cf the new battery attached to the London volunteer corps with Tickers and Maxims, some of which the Boers use, and by ordering ICO of these 12 1-2 pounder quick firers built immediately. The officers and men of the new battery will be supplied from the Honorable Artillery Company. Eight additional militia regiments have been called out. Seven of these will serve in Ireland, replacing the regulars sent to South Africa. MARLBOROUGH WILL XOT GO. T,nr>don. .Tanuarv 3 ?At Lord Chesham's headquarters a representative of the Associated Press was informed that the Duke of Marlborough's offer to accompany the Oxfordshire Yeomanry to South Africa has not yet been accepted, in spite of the published statement to the contrary. It is further said that it is quite likely he will not go to South Africa, as he already has a black maik against him on accouLt of being married, and his successful passing of the medical examination is doubtful. The Pall-Mali Gazette today announces that Winston Churchill has \ been appointed a squadron leader in j the South African horse. BRITISH MISADVENTURES London, January 3.?A special j i dispatch from Rensburg, dated Tues- | j day, January 2, says a supply train, j without a locomotive, was set ia motion within the British lines near Colesberg and proceeded so near the Boer position that it was impossible j to recover it and the B.itish guns therefore destroyed the trucks. It is suspected that this was the act of I a traitor. The total British casualties about J Colesbcrg in two days were six men i killed and twenty wounded. The supply train, says another dispatch from R^nsburg, ran into a ; broken culvert and was wrecked, j The Boers began looting it and an- j other Rensburg train was dispatched ' to the spot in an attempt to recover the provisions. The Boers opened j fire on the troops and natives acccm- j j panjiug it, forcing the second train j j to retreat after several of the natives i had been killed. BOER RETREAT CUT CfF. I London, January 3.?A special die patch from Naauwport, dated Tuesday, January 2, says the British command Norvals Pont bridge with two guns, and also command from Cotcsberg bridge, and that theBjers have no way to retreat except by way of Normberg. The dispatch adds that bi^ developments are expected tomorrow. THE SITUATION AT KIMBERLEY. Kimbeiley, December 2G ?The Boers last night evinced considerable interest in the Premier mine, using their search lights. This morning they actively shelled the fort. The R)yal Artillery replied, our shells were well placed and dropped amid the smoke of the enemy's guns. List night's storm ignited some of the military mines, but there were no casualties. C.-cil Rhodes has supplied the Boer prisoners with new clothing. WILL NOT TAKE DELAGOA BAY. London, January 3.?A representative of the Associated Press has been informed on good authority that Great Britian will not take Delagoa Bay. The British Government, it is added, does not contemplate any such step in spite of the clamor of the press and public opiaion upon the advisability of so doing. FIGHTING IN CAPE COLONY. Slerkstroom, Cipe Colony, January 3, morning.?The Boers attack ed Molteno this morning. A onsK action is dow in place. Naauwpoori, Cape Cjlony, January 2.?There was brisk fightiDg today in the hills around Cjiesberg. The Boers stubbornly resisted the British at every point, but gradually retreated. The British bold the extreme position to the south and east, overlooking the town. The hills around Coiesberg are numerous, not in ranges, but in groups, inakiDg it difficult to hunt the Boers out. Sixteen wounded have arrived at Arundel. a plan* to out flank the boers London, January 3 ?From a source which has many facilities of gaining inside news from South Africa a representative of the Associated Press learns that Col. Pilcher's occupation of Douglas is regarded as merely the first step of Gen. Methuen's carefully matured plans to outflank the Boers. Aoeordin/? to this authoritv it is o ? ? / probable Col. Pilcher, in conjunction with Gen. Babington's force from the Modeler River, will proceed to I the rear of those entrenchments which now prevent Gen. Methuen from proceeding to Kimberley. Col. Pilcher has only about forty miles travel before he achieves this end, and if this understanding is correct an attack by Gen. Methuen and a determined effort to relieve Kimbeiley may be expected any day. RUSSIA IS HANDS OFF. LondoD, January 4 ?The Vienna correspondent of the Standard says: "Emperor Nicholas has assured the British ambassador at St. Petersburg (Sir C S. Scott) that Great Britian need not fear intervention or any sort of difficulty from Russia in the present South African complication. This may fairly be interpreted as an assurance including ?n indirect promise that France will abstrain from creating difficulties for England." SIGNS THAT BULLER WILL MOVE. LondoD, January 3?Gen. Butler continues his night bombardments and patrol surprises. The Tugela is again fordable and the stretcherbearers have again been requisitioned at Durban, and at Pietermaritzburg, there is a disposition to believe that the Biitish advance will not be long delayed.

Wheeler is perhaps the central figure of the flnhfln ramnflioTi. It is true he did not have charge of the operations, but to bis intelligent activity is due largely the victory of Santiago, and he is the- only promiuent actor in that campaign who has not been criticized and who has been accepted by the press and people as a man worthy of homage and admiration. Bagley, the noble Carolinian, was the first to fall for his country, and his blood has firmly cemented the friendly relations* cf the sections. Hobson perhaps holds the most picturesque position and wherever dare devil courage and iron pertinacity are qualities under discussion his achievements will be remembered. Then there is Blue, whose fearless and thorough reconnoissance of the enemy's country under great difficulties and untold dangers earned the personal gratitude of Admiral Sampson and the admiration of all his colleagues. Fitzhugh L ee tcday is one of the most popular citizens of the United States as a result of his bravery and discretion. The two men whom Georgia produced?Brumley and Welborn "Wood ?have given their native State much cause for pride, and Brumley was second only to Dewey in the honors which the people of the United States showered on that hero. Cadet Wood, who was killed while commanding the g inboat Urdaneta in an engagement with the Filipino?, has gained an enviable and lasting name for bravery and patriotic devotion. The Tennessee volunteers who have taken such a prominent part in the Philippine war, are not to be overlooked in the summing up of these Southern warriors of note. The Tennessee bays were often in the thickest of the fight, and exhibited the intrepidity and daring which is the hallmark of the ideal soldier, and which has called for compliments from officers of foreign armies. ? ^ Having a Great Bun on Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy.

A Newspaper of Colonial Days. \ Portliiuii Telegram. We have jatt read a copy of one the oldest newspapers in America. It is the Bjston Gazette of May 12, 1770, ''containing the freshest advices, foreign and domestic." A full account of the Boston massacre is printed in the four three column pages. Its tone is in harmouy with the rebellious spirit of the times 8gainst the uijust taxations of a despotic monarch. Bitter as the people seemed, however, they were not yet ready to throw off the yoke. _ They only wanted the right of self government. By a perusal of its editorial page it is seen that men fought with the pen even at that early date. One article is directed against a man who signed himself "Bjstonian" in The Chronicle, another paper. In the same paper is published a resolution boycotting English goods, Vv I UA/1 VVAA?

Trappsd Hsn Hawks. Wherever there is a low shrubbery around the house hens with broods of chickens will naturally seek that less for the sha le than as protection against depredators which might swoop down and carry off a young cli .k, to be torn to pieces and eaten. The hen hawk usually finds some place where she can watch the brood unobserved, and make his seizure before the hen's warning causes her little ones to run for shelter. If a steel trap is set on top of a pole where it will be convenient for the hawk to alight, he will be very quickly caught. The trap should be secured by rope or chaiD, so that the hawk cannot fly off with the trap. In this way the worst enemy of the poultry grower may be easily aDd cheaply disposed of. M?d3rn 2dsthod3.
