OUTLOOK IN CONGRESS Business Before Both BranohM iw ing the Present Wssk. Washington, Feb. 10. —A rarlad pro gram confronts the house this week. Owing to the absence of a large num ber or Republicans who will goto different points of the country to par ticipate in the celebration of Lincoln's birthday on Wednesday, consideration of the bill to repeal the war taxes will lie postponed until next week. Today was District of Columbia day. To morrow consideration of the oleomar garine bill will be resumed under the hgreement made last week to darote i nother day to general debate, fol lowed by a day of debate under the live-minute rule. The passage of ths bill by a good majority is considered assured, although the substitute prop osition probably will command a larger vote than it did in the last coagress. The committee on war claims will have a day following the disposition of the oleomargarine bill and the lat ter part of the week will probably bo devoted to consideration of the In dian, postoffice or army appropriation bills, all of which are expected te be reported earlier in the week. In the Senate. The Philippine question will con tinue to hold foremost place on the (senate calendar during the week, hut there is little probability that the Philippine bill will be disposed of be fore the close of the week. Demo cratic senators say they will require several weeks more time in which to consider the measure. Senator Ledge, us chairman of the committee bar ing the measure In charge, has mot fai'ed to impress upon them his in tention of pressing it with the utmost dispatch consistent with due consid eration of so important a measure. Senator Quarles reported the perma nent census bill today before the Philippine bill was taken up. The census bill will probably alternate with the Philippine bill for a few days. The irrigation bill will also occu pies a place of vantage on the senate calendar, and with the other bills mentioned out of the way will be pressed to the front. GENERAL DE WET ESCAPED Combined Movement of British Col umns Failed to Capture Him. London, Feb. 10. —From Wolvehoek Lord Kitchener yesterday telegraphed a long description of a combined movement of numerous British col umns with the object of securing General De Wet. Lord Kitchener says the advance began the night of Feb ruary 5, the whole force moving from various directions and forming a con tinuous line of mounted men on the west bank of the Liebenbergs Vlel, from Frankfort as far south as Fan nyshome, and thence to Kaffirkop. The advance was continued February 6, and De Wet was within the ln closure, but realizing his position, he ordered his men to disperse and seek safety during the night. De Wet him self. with some men and a number ot cattle, made for the Kroonstadt-Llnd ley blockhouse line, and at 1 o'clock in the morning, when it was very dark, by rushing his cattle at the fence, broke his way through the line, mixed up with the cattle, and losing three men killed. Many attempts were made to break through the line on the night of Feb ruary 7. the line of outposts being at tacked at various places throughout the night. "I did not get exact de tails of the Boer casualties," continue* Lord Kitchener, "but as far as I have ascertained, they consist of 28S in killed, wounded and prisoners, as well as about 700 tired horses and many cattle. Our casualties were only ten men killed." Lord Kitchener's great plan, which he has been elaborating for months past, failed by the escape of De W*t, but was successful in the greatest sin gle capture of Boers since Lord Kitchener arrived in Bouth Africa. Al together 23 columns were employed in an immense irregular parallelogram. Tt is estimated that De Wet's forces amounted, roughly speaking, to 2,000 men. Wireless Telegraph Record Broken. New York, Feb. 10. —The steamship Philadelphia, of the American line, which arrived yesterday, broke the record for having longest com munication with the land by means of the Marconi wireless telegraph sys tem. On Saturday the Ist of Febru ary, the steamship was at 12.15 p. m. a few miles off the Lizard. Messages were then exchanged, and the tele graphing was kept up until midnight of the following day. The last mes sage was sent when the Philadelphia was 150 miles distant from the land. This is the longest distance in which wireless communication has ever been had between a steamship and the land. Why Ransom Party Failed. London, b'eb. 10. —A Constantinople dispatch, describing the recent futile attempt to ransom Miss Ellen M. Stone, the captive American mission ary, says: "When the American dele gates with the ransom left the railroad at Seres by carriage, they had an es cort of 30 cavalrymen, but as they ad vanced into Macedonia the number of this escort was Increased from all the military posts along the route. Small detachments joined the cavalcade un til, on arriving at Djumbala, it was stronger than a squadron on a war looting." Pennsylvania's Oldest Citizen Buried. Susquehanna.
