BALFOUR’S ANSWER.
that General Buffer is not pressing the
advance from the position he has occu-
pied We do not consider it right to
press him for details of the operations
which are iu progress, nor if he gives
such information, do we deem it proper
to make this public nntil such opera
tlons are completed. The government
had no information as to whether Gen-
eral MacDonald had retired."

Denver, Feb, 9.—This evening a
nurse from the city smallpox hospital,
eight miles northeast of the city, came
to police headquarters and reported
that Frank Conkling, an attendant, this
afternoon while crazed with drink at-
tacked the other attendants with a
pok»r, knocking two of them down.
He then demolished the furniture. The
five patients were so frightened they
tied from the place dressed only in the
bed clothing. A posse of officers, im-
mune from smallpox, left at onoe to ar-
rest Conkling and return the patients
to the hospital. The ground is covered
with snow and it is feared the exposure
will prove fatal to the patients. One of
the latter is the wife of Conkling.
Htock tCxctiaiiKH,
New York, Feb 9—There seemed to
be a complete withdrawal today of
general interest in the stock market,
which was so conspicuous a factor in
active tradiug in the early days of the
week. Two days’ reaction in prices
served to disoourage the outside de-
mand, and orders to commission honses
fell to practically nothing. The market
closed generally firm.

Baris, Feb. 9—The Temps says it
understands that Major Count Ester-
bszy intends to surrender himself on
the old charge of having in his posses-
sion the famous document known as the
“Cette Canaille de D,” which figured so
prominently in the recent trial of Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfna, and asks for safe
conduct regarding the other proceed
ings taken against him. It is further
asserted he admits that he wrote the
bordereau at the late Colonel Sandher’s
instigation in order to deceive Colonel
von Sohwarzkoppen, former German
military attache in Paris, to whom he
communicated the boghs documents.

Put me off at the Parlor
Chicago, Feb. 9—A decision on
points at the end of the sixteenth round
was the best Frank Erne, lightweight
champion, oonld do with “Chicago”
Jack Daly, in the fight at the Fort Dear-
born (Athletic club tonight. Daly re-
alized iu the first round he had no show
with his opponent at long range fighting
and made a hurry up affair of it, trust-
ing to luck more than science to land a
knockout blow. Those tactics seemed
to worry Erne for the first three rounds.
Dsly was the stronger of the two and in
the clinches managed to land some
heavy jolts in the stomach,Daly sent
as good as he got until the fourth,
when Erne caught him on the jaw with
a heavy left swing that staggered Daly
and brought blood.
After that until the end of the fight
Erne was able to jab Daly as oftenHas
he pleased, but the latter continued to
bore in and mix it up at every oppor
tunity,
Daly’s showing surprised his most
ardent admirers and the decision was
very unsatisfactory to a majority of the
spectators, who thought it should have
been oalled a draw.
In the preliminaries Maurioe Rauch
knocked out George Brown, colored, in
the fifth round, and George Stead, bet-
ter known as “Ole Olsen,” was given
the decision over Charlie Mason at the
end of the sixth round.
ROUGH and tumbe fight.
Baltimore, Feb. 9-The return
match between George McFadden of
New York and Jimmy Murray of Cin-
cinnati tonight was awarded to the
former in the middle of the ninth
rouDd The bout degenerated into a
wrestling match, at times resembling a
rough and tumble fight. Murray was
floored a half dozen times, but after
taking the count oame up each time.
GANS-SULLIVAN FIGHT.
New York, Feb. 9-Joe Gans, a
Baltimore lightweight pugilist gained a
well earned decision over Spike Sulli-
van, of Boston, in the fourteenth round
of a bout at lightweight limit before
the Broadway Athletic club tonight:
From the start off the fight was a hard
one and'Spike at the winner, but tbe
negro outpointed him and at the end of
the thirteenth round had much the bet-
ter of the contest. Sullivan fought at a
terriffio pace, but Gans was equal to tbe
occasion. Sulliyau’s infighting tactics
were ineffective aud wheu he was .floor-
ed with a terriffio right In the fourteenth
round there was nothing left to with-
stand a further punishment, and Ref-
eree Charley White Btopped the bout.
White waved his left hand and told
Gans to go to his corner, but in the
meanwhile Sullivan had arisen to his
feet and was anxious to continue the
battle, but the referee was obdurate
and bad to struggle to force Sullivan
back to bis corner. One of Sullivan’s
seconds, Daniel J. Donnelly, of Boston,
jumped through the ropes and struck
Referee White a crashing right on the
eye, batting the referee oat of the ring
between the ropes. The polioe jumped
into the ring and arrested Donnelly.

Ainsee of Forty-live Per Coat Can*
«-d by Anglo-Boer War.
One of the mo6t striking, though tbe
least known, results of the Transvaal
trouble has been the further aggrava-
tion of the already bad position of the
diamond trade.
The president of the Diamond club
(Mr. Bernhard Cohen) was good enough
recently to give a London Morning
Leader representative a few facts in
regard to the situation that has arisen.
According to Mr. Cohen, some 18
months hack diamonds began to grow
scarcer In consequence of the restric-
tion of the output by tbe De Beers syn-
dicate. The restriction was the more
effective because with the exception of
a few from Brazil and India tbe bhlk
of tbe diamonds comes from South
Africa.
The inevitable result of this limita-
tion was, of course, to send tbe price
up fully 33 per cent according to Mr.
Cohen. The war, coming upon the
heels of the De Beers action and the
cutting off of Kimberley altogether
from tbe rest of the world, has still
further restricted the supply and driv-
en the price up another 12 per cent, or
45 per cent higher than 18 mouths ago.
Naturally not a little shaking of
heads has resulted among the Jewelers
and dealers in precious stones. Tempt-
ed by the high prices, the dealers have
rushed to sell and realize the profits
within their grasp. But In spite of
these sales the values have continued
to rise, making the sellers heartily j
sorry they did not wait a little longer.
One man who had all but clinched a J
bargain for £20,000 worth of rough !
stones was told the next day that If he j
then wanted the goods he would have
to pay 6 per cent more for them.
Needless to say small dealers find
their trade practically at a standstill,
while the manufacturing jewelers,
who were always full up with work,
are almost completely Idle—at all
events, so far as commissions from dia-
mond dealers are concerned. People,
again, who used to come to London
from Antwerp to sell their diamonds
keep away, for the very good reason
that they have nothing to sell.
INTEREST IN COURSING.
Flourishing Condition of the Sport
111 California.
As a result of a crusade waged in Los
Angeles by the League of Good Govern-
ment the superior court there has con-
victed the proprietor of a local cours-
ing park of cruelty to animals. The
decision has created a good deal of con-
sternation in this part of the state,
where the pastime of coursing has be-
come thoroughly established.
It is astonishing what a vast inter-
est has been aroused of late in the
sport, says the Oakland Tribune.
Four or live years ago coursing was
confined to a few desultory meetings
each season in cheap resorts for small
purses of a few dollars, the competing
dogs being the ordinary greyhounds
around town. Now, however, all is
changed. Two large, handsomely
equipped coursing parks are in full
blast across the bay, and a third is
about to be opened. Stakes aggregat-
ing In value several thousands of dol-
lars are run off each week. The ken-
nels of the whole world have been ran-
sacked in order to secure the best bred
and speediest dogs in the market.
Thousands of people attend the weekly
meetings, aud the sport is flourishing
in a manner that means fat flnancial
returns for those conducting the ven-
tures.
SEES END OF THE WORLD.
Molina (O.) Drencher See* Siena In
Amount of llnildltiK Now Going On.
The pastor of the First Baptist
church of Medina, near Cleveland, Rev.
B. F. Griffith, sees signs of the end of
the world in the great volume of build-
ing now going on. ”1 get my ideas from
the Bible,” said Rev. Mr Griffith to a
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune re-
porter. “The Scriptures Indicate that
there is to be a great amount of
building just previous to the end of
time, and cite the building wblcb was
In progress previous to the destruction
of Sodom aud Gomorrah ns a paral-
lel. There has never been as much
building as at present. It is true that
there is more building here In Cleve-
land than anywhere else, but the spirit
of building is rampant all over the
world.
“AH the signs of the times show that
the end of the world Is near. The wars
and rumors of war. earthquakes’in di-
vers places and many other indica-
tions I might refer to. all show that we
are In the seventh seal of Revelation.”
PAINE’S CELEKY COMPOUND
Harry D. Elks, Glens Falls, N. Y., writes:
“E(irly last spring I found that I was tired and languid,
my appetite was failing, and I was becoming run down gen-
erally, I was advised to take Paine’s Celery Compound, and
after using it I never felt so well in all my life as I do now.
It braced me up, gave rhe strength and vigor and made a new
man of me. 1 recommend it to all persons who have tired
and languid feelings, to all athletes, and to all who work hard
mentally. ”
Paine’s Celery Compound restores, strength-
ens and sustains vital energy and muscular
force.
REMAINS OF SOLDIERS.
Cinematographs In the War.
Whatever may be tbe final result of
the Boer-Britisb war, (t is certain that
the public will be favored with the
first moving pictures ever taken of
armies In combat. Not only are cine-
matograph artists present with the
English army on the firing line, but ev-
ery detail of tbe departure of the
troops and of their arrival in South
Africa has been photographed for fu-
ture reproduction, says the Chicago
Tribune. For instance, when General
BnJJer, the British commander lu chief,
left Southampton the mayor of that
city was persuaded to walk with him
up and down the gangplank of the
steamer until the enterprising photog-
rapher had got the views he wanted.
