Barleigh report also submitted an iode
pendent report io favor of reducing the
representation io the southern 8tates to
the extent of the abridgment of the
suffrage. His independent report favors
a house to ha com posed of 874 mem?
bers. Mr Hopkios, io the majority
repoit, cites instanees to show that
the lese of eeats by States uodor
the reapportiooment bills was not
ooeommoo. Massachusetts, for in?
stance, wbieb under the third cen?
sus had 20 members, was reduced
to 10 uoder the sixth, seventh and
eighth, aod Virginia, which bad 23 io
the third, had but nioe under the ninth.
The report eayo the oommitteo followed
the plao adopted uoder the sixth oeosus
aod followed oootiouoosly siooe It has
the sanction and approval of sixty years
of oattooal exiateooe. The plao is to
divide the constitutional population by
857, the propoaed membership. The
quotient 208,868 is the ratio of repro
eeotatives to population. This ratio ap?
plied to the population of etch State
will yield Io tthe aggregate a number
somewhat less than 357, the number
determined upon as the membership
of the bouse. The differenee is mads
up by assigoiog to the States having
the largest majority fraotioo additional
representatives until a suffioieoi number
have been assigned to briog the total
?p to 867. A membership of more
than 867, the report says, would make
tbs boats uowieldly.
The minority report it tigued by

"We believe that every Stato should
be treated alike with referenoe to its
msjority fraotioo. aa oo valid reason has
bceu or eao be assigned for ibe
discrimination between them. We al?o
believe that io the new apportionment

We therefore rccommond a house eon

"In reaohing ibis number w ? have

the bouse added to the whole number of

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
London, Deo 20 ?Considerable
activity is now manifested at Alder
short A large draft of mounted
troopa will be ready to start for South
Africa January 6, while others have
been notified to hold themselves in
readiness foi the same destination.
According to the Cape Town cor
respondent of The Daily Mail, wiring
yesterday, the Treason court, sitting
in Colesberg, was obliged hurriedly
lo remove to Cape Town with the re
oords aod documents, owing to the
vicinity of the invading Boers
"The Colesberg district,*' says the
correspondent, "is seething with
snti-British exoitement. A reorudes
oenoe of rebellion is perceptible in
the districts immedistely south of the
Orsnge river. Tuesdsy morning the
fight was proceeding at Philipstowo,
presumably with a commando which
crossed at Sand Drift "
DEWET'S FORCE,
i , Bloemfontein, Tuesdsy, Dec. 18.?
Gen De Wet bad 6,000 men and 18,
000 horses when be captured Dewets
dorp, according to a gentleman who
was imprisoned there. The Boer
commander then declared that be was
not going to surrender without a free
pardon for all bis men, including
many Cape Dutch
The force of 6,000 is now divided
into three sections
CRYING FOR HORSES.
Cape Town* Dec. 20.? The situa?
tion in the northern districts of Cape
Colony is more serious. Fully two
thousand Boers have invaded that
section and grave fears are enter
tsined that Dutch sympathizers will
join the rebellion sod tbia will spread.
Although there is no fear as to the
ultimate result the lack of a sufficient
number of mounted troops is felt by
the British. The enormous wsste of
horses in South Africs was never
fully spprecisted until now.
INVADING CAPE CONONY.
London, Deo 20.?The following
dispstoh baa bem received from Gen
Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Wedoes
day, Dec 19 :
"A party of Boers, estimated at
from 500 to 800, has crossed the
Orsnge river st Rhenoster Hoek
"A second band is reported to
have crossed near Sanddrift
"They have been followed. I have
sent s considerable body of mounted
men, who are gotting sround tbem.
"The Boers from Rhenoster Hoek
sre being followed closely from
Veuteretadt, which they left at 3
o'clock yeaterday evening, going in
the direction of Steyoaburg.
"The important points on the rail*
way and the neighborhood sre well
guarded. 1 hope the band will soon
be driven north again.
DISTURBED IN CAPE TOWN.
Cape Town, Dec. 20 ?The inva?
sion of Cape Colony is spreading It
is reported that the Boere have
occupied Colesburg, sooth of the
Philippolia, and near the Orange
River colony frontier The people
hero are much disturbed. A mixed
force of 1,000 men was dispatched
north yesterday evening.
