DISPATCH FROM KITCHENER.
Cape Town, Jan. 3.—Gen. Kitchener has
sent a dispatch to Gen. Forestier Walker,
in command of the British forces, at Cape
Town, saying: “I am glad to hear of the
ministers’ action. Give them all assist-
ance in your power. Use trains to get
these colonists south of the enemy. Ask
the premier to inform me if I can help in
any way. Inform him the enemy are few,
but very mobile. Well mounted men must
be required to surround them or drive
them north.”
The action of the ministers of Cape
Colony referred to by Kitchener is calling
on loyalists to- assist the military by the
formation of a paid defens.e force.

Her Idea of Fun.
“But you refused me the first time,”
he said in bewilderment,, after she had
accepted his proposal of marriage.
“Of course I did,” she replied,
proposed by letter.”
“What has that to do with it?”
“Why, you don’t suppose I was going
to miss the fun of seeing you get red and
then pale and stammer and show your
awkwardness in trying to kneel, do you?
Well, I guess not. I know my rights on
an occasion of this sort, and I intend to
have all the enjoyment to which I am
entitled. There’s only one time in life
when a girl can make a man look really
foolish, and she can’t afford to overlook
it.”—Chicago Post.

Quite a happy band of children met at
the Baptist parsonage New Year’s after-
noon from 3 to 5 o’clock. Through the
generosity of kind friends in -New York
Mrs. Harris was enabled to give "nice pres-
ents to each child and if any one could
have seen the bright, joyous faces little
would they have thought those same chil-
dren had passed through that terrible
storm of Sept. 8.
The children had New Year’s greetings,
games and refreshments, after which the
presents were distributed. Then the chil-
dren all went tripping home, merry as
larks.
The following statement of rece'nts
cotton at the port of Galveston this sea-
son, as compared with last, speaks elo-
quently of the recuperative powers of the
port. The figures- apply from

BULLETS FOR MILK.
Cape Town, Jan. 3.—The station master
of the Fraserburg road has seized a num-
ber of cases marked “condensed milk,”
addressed to Fraserburg, which contained
3000 split bullets, 500 detonators and 150
pounds of dynamite.
On New Year’s day the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company inaugurated at Galveston
its scheme of a reference library by the
shipment to C. H. Weatherington, their
local agent, of the first consignment of
books, the intention of the company being
to use these as a nucleus for a circulating
library for the use of their employes in the
various cities of the country where ths
company has offices.
The books arrived the before New
year’s packed in a handsome oak cabinet
that was promptly installed in a place
of honor. The collection is small but well
selected, consisting largely of such works
as would be most likely to afford perma-
nent pleasure and profit. Among the
books contained in the cabinet is a 40-vol-
ume set of Shakespeare, a standard dic-
tionary, a .century atlas, a book of syno-
nyms, an Oxford Bible, a Shakespeare
concordance and several smaller volumes
of about the same character.
The idea of establishing a chain of cir-
culating libraries for the: improvement of
the employes of the cdfnpany originated
some years ago in the brain of John J.
Valentine, the president of the Wells Far-
go Express company. Mr. Valentine is a
man of philanthropic tastes and liberal
ideas, and this has been. one of many
schemes originated by hifti during his in-
cumbency as president calculated to help
and assist the many employes of the com-
pany. President Valentine’s scheme, as
stated by himself, is largely the result of
the knowledge that most of the men em-
ployed by the company are from the ranks
and have consequently been denied many
educational advantages calculated to im-
prove their chances for mo(e important
and responsible positions. It was with the
purpose of fitting the men in the com-
pany’s employ for higher positions that
President Valentine first undertook the
scheme of founding circulating libraries.
Galveston is the 32d terminal point at
which these libraries have been started. It
has been the desire to furnish libraries to
as many terminal points as practicable, to
be used in connection with the general cir-
culating libraries founded at New York
and Jersey City, Chicago, Kansas City,
San Francisco and the City of Mexico.
THE SENATE AT WORK.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 3.—The first ses-
sion of the senate in the 20th century busi-
ness was resumed without the appear-
ance of a break in the continuity of the
proceedings. Work was taken ..up just
where it was left off when congress took
a recess for the holidays. Notwithstand-
ing the holidays had scarcely ended, at-
tendance at the opening session was not-
ably large. President Pro Tem. Frye
called the senate to order. The time just
before the session convened and just after
was occupied by many senators in ex-
change of greetings. 'That-was the only
evidence that there had been a recess.
The senate proceeded to the considera-
tion of the army reorganization bill.

Greater, indeed.

SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., Chicago.
Given a Great Reception in the British
Capital.
London, Jan. 3.—Crowds of people
flocked to points of vantage along the
route to be followed by Lord Roberts, from
Paddington station to Buckingham palace
during the early hours of the morning,
but the numbers in no way compared with
those gathered at the demonstration in
honor of the return of the City volunteers\
from Africa. Fears of a repetition of the
riotous behavior and disasters on that oc-
casion deterred many persons from join-
ing in the public welcome. Warned by
occurrences at the time of the. volunteers’
return the authorities today furnished
barriers to prevent crushing and 15,009
regular troops, in addition to the thou-
sands of police, lined the route, blocked
the side streets and were concentrated in
a wide space to guard against dangerous
rushes. Lord Roberts reached Paddington
.station only 20 minutes behind the
scheduled time. As he descended from, his
carriage to the platform, of the elaborate-
ly decorated railroad station he was
greeted by the prince of Wales, princess
of IVales, duke and duchess of York, duke
of Connaught and duke of Cambridge.
Members of the royal family shook hands
heartily with the field marshal, while
bands played the national anthem. The
princess of Wales engaged Lord Roberts
in conversation of some length. The
scene was altogether brilliant. Every-
where were masses of bunting, troops in
bright costumes, cabinet ministers and
staff officers. The prince of Wales soon
left the railroad station, preceding Lord
Roberts to Buckingham palace. The re-
turning field marshal was then presented
with an address from the municipality of
Paddington.
A few distinguished people were wait-
ing wearily within the somber palace
quadrangle, with gas lamps.burning dimly
in the foggy gloom. The foot guards on,
duty, wearing their overcoats, were drawn
up within, while without some 5000 per-
sons were packed together in an endeavor
to get a view of the hero of the hour. The
royal party arrived half an hour before
Lord. Roberts, who was driven into the
quadrangle amid a salvo of cheers from
the crowds and dignified waving of hand-
kerchiefs on the part of bare-headed
nobility within. The prince of Wales
again warmly greeted the field marshal.
Everybody by that time, 2.30 p. m., was
very hungry, but Lord Roberts would not
go to luncheon until he had inspected the
guards. Accompanied by one or two offi-
cers he walked between the lines of men
towering over the tiny commander in
chief, making him appear smaller than
ever, almost overweighed by the plumes,
of his field marshal’s hat.
When the inspection was over Lord
Roberts, members of the royal family and
generals went into the palace and had a.
private luncheon, whereupon the crowds
dispersed.

Southampton, Jan. 3.—A dense fog this
morning disarranged the program here,
for the-reception of Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and if was an hour after_the ap-
pointed. time when he arrived. The en-
thusiasm of a large concourse of iieople,
however, was in no way dampened, by the
thick pall of mist and amid scenes of
great jubilation, cheering and singing of
patriotic airs in accompaniment of bands
of music. Lord Roberts landed and drove
through the profusely decorated streets
to Hartley institute, where the mayor,
surrounded by members of the corporation
in full robes of office, presented him with
the freedom, of the citv in a gold casket.
The institute was crowded to its capacity
and there was a remarkable demonstra-
tion as the field marshal in the uniform
of his rank stepped on the raised plat-
form.
The proceedings were most brief. Lord
Roberts, in a few words of flanks, re-
ferred to' Jhe war in terms similar to
those he used yesterday. On returning to
the railroad station he was greeted with
continuous plaudits from the assembled
throngs. At 11.30 a. m. the field marshal's
train started for London.
Lots of Drams.
An old highlander rather fond of his
glass was ordered by his doctor during
a temporary ailment not to exceed one
ounce of spirits in the day. The old
man was a little dubious about the
amount and asked his boy; tVho was at
school liow much an ounce/was.
“Sixteen drams one ounce,” said the
boy.
“Sixteen drams!” cried/the delighted
man. “Gaw! No so baa.i Run and tell
Tonal MacTavish to coloc doon the

Masket—I’ve changed my mind about

“We heard you whipping your boy in the
woodshed la^t night,” said the spokesman
of the party.
“Yes,” replied the indignant parent,
“the youngster played hookey from
school, ate up twoi jars of his mother’s
jam, tumbled his little sister out of her
high chair, and tried to build a bonfire, in
the barn.”
“No matter,”'returned the spokesman;
“it is government without the consent of
the governed, and we can not permit it.”
“Besides that.” went on the indignant
parent, “he broke three windows in your
basement.”
“What!” cried the spokesman; “is he the
boy who did that? Why, he ought to be
licked within an inch of his life! I’d like
to have the handling of him for a day or
so and I’d teach him to behave himself.”
“But government without the con-
sent---”
“Is a theory, nothing but a theory—a
measly little impossible theory!”

Washington, D. C„ Jan. 3.-When the
house reassembled today after the holiday
recess not more than 75 members were
present. It had been arranged before the
house met that consideration of the re-
apportionment bill wras to be entered upon
today. Immediately after the reading of
the journal Mr. Olmstead of Pennsylvania
sprang a surprise by offering as a mat-
ter of privilege a resolution reciting an al-
leged abridgement of the right to vote in
Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina,
and North Carolina, and instructing the
committee on census to make inquiry into
the subject and report the facts to the
house.
The reading of the resolution created a
flurry on the Democratic side. Before it
had proceeded far Mr. Richardson of Ten-
nessee, the minority leader, jumped to his
feet and interrupted the reading to ask
whether the resolution required unani-
mous consent.
“It does not,” replied the speaker. “It is
offered as a matter of privilege.”
I make the point that the resolution
does not constitute a matter of privilege,”
said Mr. Richardson.
“The reading has ' not proceeded
enough to determine that point,” said
speaker.
Mr. Richardson took his seat, but
fore the clerk could
of Alabama was on his feet,
point there is no quorum present,” said
he.
The speaker glanced about the house.
Evidently there was no quorum present.
“The chair will count,” he said.
The house was counted, and when the
speaker announced 141 present, not a quo-
rum, Mr. Underwood immediately moved
adjournment. A yea and nay vote was
demanded and obtained on his motion.
During the roll call there were hurried
consultations on both sides of the house.
The motion to adjourn was lost—ayes 68,
noes 95, present but not voting 14, noted
present, 2. The speaker included himself
in order to make up a quorum.
'The speaker held the Olmstead resolu-
tion privileged and the minority raised the
question of consideration again, which
forced another roll call. 'The vote to con-
sider the Olmstead resolution was: Ayes,
81; noes, 82, and five present but not vot-
ing. No quorum, and another roll call was
ordered.
