LONDON. Feb. 4. General Kitche-
ner reports today that the British suf-
fered the loss of 21 killed -exid over a
hundred wounded in the attack ef the
Boers fourteen hundred strong on the
Mederfontain forces.
The British fought valiantly all
through the stormy night and Kitche-
ner thinks the Boer loss was at least
five hundred.
The reverse howeer. to the British
forces is very depressing and while
reinforcements will be sent with new
energy against the Boer commands
the loss of Mederfontain and its river
tributaries is considered a reverse more
unfortunate that has happened since
the first of the year.
Pretria dispatches today state that
new courage has been put into the
enemy who insist that there will be
no surrender or capitulation until the
death of the last Burgher.
STILL A MYSTERY
KUHN DISAPPEARANCE HAS
NEVER BEEN EXPLAINED.
Thought Probable That He is in South
America But Nothing is Known.
Mr. J. Buuce has now full manage-
ment of the Mexican Central's city of-
fice in El Paso.
He assumed charge of the commer-
cial business as well as the passenger
department a few days ago relieving
K. K. Kuhn who will not be connected
with the company in the future.
Mr. Kuhn went to Chihuahua today
where he will visit friends for a few
days when he will return to El Paso
and leave for his old home in Omaha.
He was offered the position made
vacant by the disappearance of his
brother but not having sufficient
knowledge of the Spanish language
could not hold it.
Mrs. B. J. Kuhn will return to Oma-
ha with him.
The disappearance of B. J. Kuhn re-
mains as much of a mystery as ever
no one having beard of him since he
left. It is known that he has had
troubles "of his own" for several years
and it is firmly believed that the short-
age of money did not prompt him to
leave. It is also thought that he has
gone to some South American country
as he speaks Spanish and German as
fluently as he does English.
Mr. Kuhn's disappearance was a
great surprise to the head officials of
the company and they had arranged to
give him a more lucrative position.
Mr. Robinson president of the com-
pany was in El Paso a few weeks be-
fore Mr. Kuhn left and had a long talk
with him. When he reached the City
of Mexico he called up Mr. Hudson
general freight and passenger agent of
the company and requested him to
give Mr. Kuhn the next-good position
made vacant.
He considered Mr. Kuhn one of the
most efficient men in the employ of the
company and was anxious to do all
he could for him.
AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH WAS OP-

VIENNA. Feb. 4 The newly elect-
ed Reichsrath was opened today with
a speech from Emperor Joseph who
paid glowing tribute to the late Queen
Victoria and expressed heartfelt sor-
row at the death of "My dear Ally"
King Humbert of Italy "The victim of
an execrable crime."
The emperor expressed his satisfac-

Trial of the Man Who Shot
Bob Hall Will Begin
Tomorrow
MUCH INTEREST
Is Manifested By the Public
As Hall Was Widely
Known in West
Texas.1
The case of Red Seeley charged with
the murder of Bob Hall near Van
Horn last September was called in the
district court this morning but owing
to the absence of several witnesses
the case was postponed until tomor-
row. This promises to be an interesting
case. Bob Hall was one of the most
prominent men in western Texas and
was the wealthiest cattleman in El
Paso county. He had had trouble with
Seeley on another occasion and in Sep-
tember Seeley shot and killed him at
his ranch home.
No details of the killing have ever
been published in the papers and the
facts are unknown to the publ'c and
will remain so until told In the court.
The case will likely take up the time
of the court nearly all the week if it is
not postponed again.
Seeley is ably defended and it is
said will produce some good testimony.
Many Witnesses in Town.
There are about thirty witnesses in
town from all the border counties
where both men are well known.
Among those who came in last night
were: J. J. Hall T. K. Hall and Cur-
tis Herring of Cotnlla; J. Canon and
Mrs. Alma Canon of Abilene; J. C.
Anderson of Carlsbad. N. M.; B. E.
Cassels of Toyah; H. Herring. Mrs.
Laura Hall Mrs. Canon and Sam Gras-
lin. of Van Horn.
Herring is the man who was with
Hall at the time he was killed and
was himself shot in the arm. He is
the principal witness for the state.
Seeley seems to be somewhat confi-
dent that he can beat the case against
him. He claims that Hall had beaten
him severely on several different oc-
casions nnd had threatened his life.
This is mere heresay as so far as
known. Seeley has never discussed the
case since his arrest soon after the
killing.
SENATOR MARK HANNA'S SHIP
SUBSIDY BILL MAY BE VOTSD

TOWN MARSHAL
Will Protect Her For the
Present But Her Cru-
sade is Temporari-
ly Stopped.
TOPEKA Feb. 4 Mrs. Nation was a
very much frightened woman this mor
ning and her work of destroying '"mur
der shops" has stopped for the present.
The city marshal discovered a plot
to tar and feather Mrs. Nation and is
not over anxious to nip the scheme
in the bud although he will protect
her for the present.
The scheme was tipped off to a po-

he had befriended.
TURNEY'S TASK
SENATOR TURNEY'S WORK
TO RELIEVE QUARANTINE.
He Has Done All that He Could With
the Health Officers and Will Adopt
Other Measures.
The following letter has been receiv-
ed by the chamber of commerce from
Senator w. W. Turney who returned
from Washington to Austin about a
week ago:
"Upon receipt of your letter and en-
closures I had a talk with Dr. Blunt
and from him had the statement that
the quarantine as now in force applied
only as against Chinese and Chinese
goods from Chinatown. San Francisco.
"I had the further statement made
me by him that three skilled physicians
had been sent to San Francisco by the
United States government and would
make a report as to existence or non-
existence of plague and that should
they report no plague or no danger of
contagion then he would at once rec-
ommend to the governor the abolition
of the quarantine.
"This is the best I can now do for
El Paso in the matter in so far as the
health officer is concerned. I will pur-
sue any avenue looking to a solution
of the matter.
"I have been trying to make a report
upon trip to Washington but many ur-
gent duties have prevented. Will prob-
ably do so tomorrow.
"Will take up Buffalo resolution with
house members soon.
"Am gratified that our carnival was
such a great success."
More About That Commission. .
A Washington dispatch says: The
secretary of the treasury recently ap-
pointed a commission to investigate
the plague conditions existing in San
Francisco.
The president received a strong pro-
test from Governor Gage of California
against the investigation contemplated
by this commission and referred it to
Secretary Gage who on the 30th ult.
sent the following reply to the gover-
nor of California: '
"Replying to your telegram January
29 addressed to the president the com-
mission appointed by this department
embraces experts who by reason of
technical knowledge and personal ex-
perience with the disease make it the
highest possible authority. They are
from great institutions of learning en-
tirely disconnected with any depart-
ment of the government and are chos-
en from different sections of the coun-
try wholly on account of their attain-
ments and have been directed to call
upon for the purpose of paying their
respects and acquainting you with their
work.
"In no sense therefore is any dis-
couratesy intended and the department
desires the commission to make these
investigations in its own way unham-
pered by detailed instructions from the
marine hospital service or any other
influence.
"It is expected to ascertain the facts
and the department does not feel it
should hamper the commission in its
method of investigating and getting
at the facts. It will be independent of
Dr. Kinyoun or any previous reports
its conclusions are to be based on its
own observations and will be made
known to this department alone and
promptly forwarded to you by the de-
partment. The officials here say there
is practically nothing more to say
about the proposed investigation than
is contained in the telegram sent to the
governor of California by Secretary
Gage. That is self-explanatory they
say and contains the reasons animat-
ing the government making the inquiry

TO OPEN OFFICE
Traveling Men WM Traverse
Arizonp New Mexico
California and
Mexico-
The Rock Island railroad is about to
steal a march on the other EI Paso
roads by opening an office and putting
a freight solicitor in this field four
months before the road gets here.
. A gentleman in the freight depart-
ment of the Rock Island is expected
to .arrive in El Paso this week to open
an office or rather to have a desk in
the White Oaks office and go into the
field for business. .
This does not mean that the Rock
Island will open permanent offices here
at the present and only means that the
Rock Island wants to get acquainted
with the trade of this section. No
general office will be opened here un-
til the first . train reaches this city
which will be some time early in Sep-
tember. At that time the Rock Island
will open general offices in El Paso
with several traveling men for New
Mexico Arizona California and Mex-
ico traveling out of this city. No
general agent for this territory will
be appointed at this time as indicated
by a story printed in the morning pa
per and only one man will work here
until the road reaches the city.
Mr. Eddy is now in Chicago and
while he will have little to do with the
appointment of the agents none will
be appointed until he confers with the
general officers of the Rock Island.
When the -general offices are opened
here the Rock Island will have more
traveling men out of El Paso than any
other road here but this will be held
off until September or until the road .
runs its first trains to this city.
