CLARK INVESTIGATION.
London, Jan, 13—General Boiler's
twenty eight words annonnoing his
forward movement on Thursday is
interpreted as indicating he has parsed
around the western end of the Boer
lines at Colenso and is now several
miles behind them, and within fonrteen
miles of General White’s outposts at
Ladysmith,
The Boers a few days ago had forces
with guns at Springfield, where General
Boiler dates his despatch.
These commandoas have been ob-
viously dislodged, either by fighting or
manouevering, the Biers retiring across
Tngela as General Bailer advanced.
From General Bailer's dispatch, oou-
pled with the fact that unofficial intelli-
gence from the seat of war has virtu-
ally ceased since Monday, the deduc-
tion is drawn that important operations
are in progress, as he cannot move far
without going against Boer entrench-
ments.
The death list from enteric fever
and dysentery at Ladysmith, averaging
from eight to ten daily, is considered
more seriously than the 430 casualties
of Saturday's fight, as they indicate the
frightful insanitary condition of the be-
leagnred town.
A letter from Ladysmith, dated De-
cember 7th, sayH even then 90 out of
540 men in the battalion of which the
writer is a member, is sick with dysen-
tery or enteric fever, and according to
a dispatoh to the Daily Chronicle, dated
January 8th, patients and attendants in
Totnbi Camp, where the hospital is,
then numbered 2,800.
SCENES OF PATRIOTISM.
Remarkable scenes of patriotism were
witnessed in London last evening after
a short service held for the volunteers
in 8t. Paul's cathedral. The vast audi-
ence was slow to disperse. Ladies stood
up oi^ ohaira 'beckoning and calling to
brothers, sons and friends in the rankB.
the latter signalling back. A scene of
great animation enBned. The organist
introduced a few bars of the national an-
them in oonolndiug the voluntary. The
effect of this was magical. First the
volunteers and then the congregation
took up the strains and the vast oathe
dral was filled with enthusiastic song
These demonstrations were renewed by
the immense crowds outside.
8t. Paul church yard and Ludgate
Hill were black with people, and it was
impossible for the volunteers to march.
Individual members were pulled out of
the ranks by their friends and admirers,
who raised them on their shonlders and
thus carried them dowfa Fleet street to
Temple. Those who escaped the hoist-
ing proceeded slowly, surrounded by
olinging women.
Afterward at the various theatres
where the men were entertained and yet
later oc.-returniug to the barracks, these
soenes were renewed and the streets
were filled until midnight with cheer-
ing people.
An apparently well informed corre-
spondent of the Morning Post says:
"The Boer atreugth, originally 80,000,
is now heavily augmented by Cape Col-
onists and the enemy's fighting forces
may be estimated at 100,000 men and
306 guns. The Boers are not compelled
to guard their oornmuuioations. Their
grass is good, crops are growing, veget-
ables, cattle and eheep are plenty and
game is abundant.
FROM PKKRK CAMP.
London, Jan. 13—The Daily Tele-
graph has the following dispatoh,dated
January 9, from Frere Camp:
"A heavy storm has been raging all
night and there is every prospect that
it will continue. Roads are impassable
and rivers and streams full.
"There has been no firing at Lady-
smith or Colenso. The trenches must
be filled with water. The Boers are
holding Mount Haugwano, but they
are certainly quite isolated, as their
bridge over the Tngela must haye been
carried away.”
Witnesses Examined Before the Elections
Committee.
Washington, Jan. 19—There were
again four or five witnesses] before the
senate committee on privileges and
elections today in connection with the
attack upon the right of Senator Clark
of M jutaua to a seat in the senate.
Oue witness, State Senator Myers,
produced a letter from C. W. Clark,son
of the senator, telling him (Mjers) he
had forwarded $500 as a retainer for
him as attorney in connection with the
coal interests of Clark.
A dentist named Ector also displayed
letters from Senator Clark himself, re-
ferring to W. M. Bickford as a repre-
sentative of his and while he (Clark)
knew nothing of Ector’s claim for ser'
vices, his polioy was to remunerate all
who served him.
Probably the most important witness
of the day was H. H. Carr, a member of
the legislature who voted .for Clark for
the senate. He was one of the men
whose money was turned over to the
state. Carr said that while this money,
$5000 in $1000 bills, had been Bhown by
Whiteside and he had marked the en-
velope containing it, Whiteside had not
said anything to him about voting for
Clark.

In Hie Opening Speech at the Jackeon Bay
Banquet—No Oue In Omaha Can be Fooud

Hie Changed View* —Only Gave Out »
Brief Extract of Hie Speech to the l'reee.
Omaha, Jan. 13—The general im-
pression here is that William J. Bryan
was misquoted by the Ucah correspond-
ent of the Commercial Bulletin on the
subject of free wool. At the Jackson-
ian banquet held here last Monday
night, which is generally accepted as
the real opening of Bryan’s campaign
for the presidential nomination this
year, he was very guarded in his state-
ments and gave out a brief extraot of
his speech to the press Jin which no
mention whatever was made of protec-
tion. This speech dealt only with the
money question, trusts and imperialism.
If Bryan has changed his^viewson the
tariff, none in Omaha can be found who
knows it.
IN THE SENATE.
Hearing: of Frye’s Bill to Promote Com-
merce and Increase Foreign Trade.
LEFT A FORTUNE.
Lady Livingstone Bled Without Regaining
Her Power of Speech.
Paris, Jan. 18—The eocentrio old
American woman, known at the United
States legation and consulate for the
last twenty years under the name of
Lady Livingstone, died, leaving a large
fortune for unknown heirs. Her ec-
centricities and,Amper made constant
trouble for her. She had two rooms at
Neuilly, and her only companion being
a parrot, and always pleaded she was
in reduced circumstances. Not being
seen since Friday last her rooms were
broken into Monday, when Lady
Livmgtone was found lying in the mid
die of the floor unconscious, and was
taken to the hospital where she died
without regaining her power of speech.
No will or anything designating her
heirs has been discovered. The sum of
1,400 frauos was found in the room, and
the consulate officers also have a deposit
book on a prominent bank for a large
an hi, the exact amount of which the
officials prefer not to mention. Letters
found indicate the correct name of the
deceased was Maria E. Livingstone,
and she waB 80 years of age.
Washington, Jan. 12—The senate
committee on commerce today began
the hearings on Senator Frye’s bill to
promote commerce and ^increase for-
eign trade in the United States and to
provide auxiliary cruisers and trans-
ports seamen for government nse when
necessary—a measure popularly known
as the subsidy bill.
Senator Frye, chairman of the com-
merce committee, made a general state-
ment of the efforts that had been made
during the past few years to advance
the interests of the American merchant
marine.
Former Senator G. F. Edmunds, at-
torney for the committee, explained the
pending bill to those interested in the
shipping interests of the country.

The Market Was Flat and Uulntermtlng—
Woolen Goode Trade Booming.
Boston, Jan. 12—The Commercial
Bulletin of tomorrow will say of the
wool market:
The market was flat and uninterest-
ing, not a sale of washed Ohio wool
or Australian wool being made this
week. Cablegrams frpm Melbourne
note a slight decline in cross bred wools
there. The woolen goods trade is boom-
ing. Some overcoating mills sold to
September.
Utah correspondents of Boston wool
houses say they have reoeived personal
assurances from William Jennings
Bryan that if elected president he will
retain the protective tariff on wool, hav-
ing changed bis mind on free wool.

CHARGED WITH HORSE STEALING.
THE WOOL MARKET.
“ I had great relief from Paine's Celery Compound last December. While living in
Columbus I took a heavy cold that resulted in the grip. I suffered intense pain with my
head for three months. No medicine seemed to do me any good until I began using
Paine’s Celery Compound. All the suffering in my head was soon gone, and. I have
Celery Compound alone to thank for my cure.”
Suffering has its first effect upon the nerves. When the body
is not sustained by nerve energy; indigestion, slow circulation of
the blood, and an impoverished system result.
Grain and Provlulons.
Chicago, Jan. 12—Trade in provis-
ions was the feature on the board of
trade today, light hog receipts and ad-
vanced prices at yards combining to
give the market a tone of deoided
strength. May pork closed at 10c, May
lard at 24@5o, and May ribs 5o over
yesterday. Wheat was dull and heavy,
weakened by disappointing cables and
heavy Argentine shipments. May pork
closed at 4@|o.
May wheat opened at 671, ranged
from 674 to 67|, dosing at 67*.
May corn ranged from 331 to 234,
closing at 33|.
May oats sold from 24 to 244, dosing
at 24.
The Cavalry Horse.
A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle Just the
same us his rider. As the column
swings into line and waits the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in service, he
knows every bugle call. As the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with bis tongue
to get it between his teeth. As he
moves out he will either seek to get on
faster than he should or bolt. He can-
not bolt however. The lines will car-
ry him forward, and after a minute he
will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with it as soon as
possible. A man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle. It
is the same with

GATE TO
Guzman, Game and Gold
Health and pleasure seekers sojourning in
El Paso will find pleasant diversion by visiting
Lake Guzman, 8o miles to the southwest, on the
Sierra Madre Line.
The trip is an inexpensive one. Comforta-
ble accommodations at the Lake Side Hotel, un-
der the new management of Landlord Ard, are
furnished at extiemely reasonable rates—about
gli.oo American montyper day for room and
board, while railroad fare for th,e round trip is
$4 90 American monev.
Those with sporting blood in their veins will
find there game plentiful and near at hand, and
if they po-sess an inclination towards mining the
facilities will afford interesting and inexpensive
prospecting in a virgin field immediately contigous.
Ducks and geese during cool weather liter-
ally swarm on the lake, a magnificent body of
fresh water 75 square miles in area, and boats
are now being built to facilitate good shooting
thereon. Moreover, in the surrounding hills and
mountains, easily accessible, the favoiite black
tail deer and mountain sheep abound
From a mining standpoint, too, Guzman and
its vicinity are attractive and worthy of atten-
tion'; so there business and pleasure can be com-
bined. The section is richly mineralized with
gold, silver, copper and lead. To this fact the
piosperous mines ensconced here and there will
test fy. The great tideof prospectors, tnough,
have passed over this inviting spot, unconscious
of its merits, on their pilgrimage to the remotely
located “Magnet” beyond.
Make the trip. It is an easy, cheap and en-
joyable one. Trains leave Sierra Madre Line
depot, Juarez, daily except Sunday at 8:25 a. m.,
El Paso city time, and reach Guzman in time for
early lunch. Returning, reach Juarez 3:55 p. m.
