lieer itatlii'i'od nt the scene, llesiiles n
few worknicn, there were not n dozen

rush of water, to be followed by the
cheers of spectators. Indeed, the open
ing nf the canal resembled more the tiny
Ktrcnm of water Hint flowed over the'
Holland dike nnd trrcw larger nnd Inrper
until it swept n inviit hole in the wall of
earth. That Is the way the preat canal
opened. This method was used to avoid
the dancer of a sudden rush of waters,
but it robbed the opening of nil iinpress
iveness. The cnnal had been built to rnrry "DO.

Tim mot her count rv will share with
the Canadians und Australians in the
pride and 'ratification they must feel at
the tine qualities displayed by their
troopg in this dashinij little entfuixcmciit."
The Standard says:
"The Canadians and Australians bad
been spoilitiK for u ticht. Now they have
had their opportunity, and they have
greatly (listincuislied themselves by their
coolness and discipline. From tin view
point of imperial unity the little light
may fairly be described us one of the
most gratifying events recorded in the
history of the British race."
Although the continuance of minor suc
cesses gratifies the British public, it is
not forgotten Hint the larger uspccts of
the campaign are unchanged. As The
Daily News remarks, "It is a day of
small mercies."
The importance of both General
French's; und Colonel Tilcher's victories
lies in the effect they are likely to have
upon the colonial fliitih. The latest dis
patch from Douglas confirms the earlier
report tliat tne liner laagers cousi?icu
chictly of British subjects who, on t he
arrival of the small Free State com
mando, accepted probably an invitation
to throw in their lot with the Boers.
Colonel I'ilcher reports, through the
oflieer commanding nt the Orange river:
"1 have completely defeated a hostilo
command at the Sunnyside laager this
day, Jan. 1, taking the laager and 40
prisoners besides the killed und wound
ed. Our casualties are two privates kill
ed and Lieutenant Adie wounded. Am
encamped nt Dover farm, 1M miles
northwest of Belmont und ten miles from
Sunnyside."
The Daily Mail has the following dis
patch, dated .Inn. 1, from Uensbnrg:
"Yesterday afternoon n big force of
cavalry and infantry, with ten guns, un
der the personal command of General
French, moving by detour, occupied some
hills three miles from Colosberg, where
the Boers were in strength, confident in
the natural aid nfTorded them by the
hills around.
"The enemy's position extended six
miles around the entire village. At day
break our urtillery opened the bnttle. The
Boers were taken by surprise, but replied
vigorously. An arf'll -'a! was main
tainrd for two hours. Then a Boer llotch
kiss collapsed nnd was ubandoned. AVe
captured it. A Boer big gun was silenced,
but this and the other Boer guns were
withdrawn to the northward, whither we
are harassing the Boer retreat by a dam
aging shell tire.
"Colesberg is in our hands, and the few
remaining loyalists are jubilant. We
hnve enptured ninny wagons and u con
siderable quantity of stores.
"Our losses were quite slight, but the
Boers must have suffered heavily. J. hey
may stop at Achtertang or cross the river
altogether at Norval's Tout, where the
bridge is still intact.
The Daily Mail makes the following
statement this morning:
"We understand that the defense com1
mittee of the cabinet, after careful con
deration of the question of the defense
of the empire, particularly with regard to
artillery, will shortly call for the expendi
ture of ir,0t)U,(KMJ to make good deli
ciem ies and to place the nation on u par
with other great powers.
"The new equipment will be provided
as speedily as possible, and, while sum
ciently mobile for use in the field, it is
intended to be adaptable to the neeessl
ties f what are known as guns of posi
thin."
The queen has accepted the services of
12 battalions of miliiia for foreign sta
tions. Seven of these are assigned to
South Africa.
The Karl of Albemarle will command
the City of London infantry division in
stead of Colonel Sir Charles Howard
Vincent.
PILCHER'S RAID,
Bi'illlnut uvnlr M.Ii-uiInu hy Colo
nial Troops,
BELMONT. Cape Colony, Jan. 3. An
other dispatch from Dover furm, dated
Jan. 1, says:
"The colonial troops, who have been
longing to lie allowed to meet the Boers,
have at last been given nn opportunity
to do so and scored u brilliant success.
The raid conducted by Colonel 1'ilcher
was very dithcult owing to the fact that
the movements of the troops were imme
diately communicated to the Boers by
natives. In order to prevetit this Colonel
Pilcher In making his forced march from
Belmont left a British trooper ut every
farmhouse with instructions not to allow
the natives to K-uve their huts, the pa
trols calling the names of the natives
hourly in order to prevent their escape.
Iu the muneuver at Cook's farm Colo
nel I'ilcher sent mounted patrols east.
One of these, consisting of four men com
manded by Lieutenant Adie, suddenly en
countered 14 Boers, who opened fire. The
lieutenant was severely wounded, and
I'rivate Butler gave up his horse in or
der to carry the lieutenant out of range.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Ityan, who had
worked magnificently, reported that the
veldt on the right of the enemy wus clear, '
' wbereupou Major de Uougemont ordered
the guns to a trot. They unived within
l.fiOO yards of the laager, uulimbered and
planted five shells in as many minutes
within the laager.
Immediately the enemy could be seen
streaming over the kopje. They went
completely surprised, but quickly opened
a well directed fire.
A press representative had the privi
j lege of carrying an order to the Toronto
company to double quick Into action. The
order was received with great satisfac
tion. The company rushed forward until
within a thousand yards of tho enemy's
position, when it opened a hot ire upon
, the kopje and completely subdued the
Boer fire.
The Boers lost 0 killed and 12 wound
ed. Tbo Torontos stood the galling fire
with admirable patience, never wasting
; i) shot. .

Thick Ice In the llndaon.
IUIlNhcLlFF. X. Y., Jan. 3. The
cold wave which entered the Hudson
valley a week ago still holds sway, lhs
Ice in the river opposite this place is
from five to six inches thick nnd of u
fine quality. The Consumers' Ice com
pany und the mnuy private concerns
along the upper Hudson are preparing to

that nearly one-third of the ice stored
last winter still remains iu the houses.
Iceboats have made their appearance.
Several owners of yachts are out with
their boats enjoying the sport.
shipped for Lourenco Marques in British
nnd German ships yet the contention of
our officials is that they were not subject
to seizure. They could not lodge rcpre
sentatious on the subject until thuy were
possessed of a knowledge of the facts,
but as soon as Mr. Choiitc's statement
came to hand an instruction was cabled
to him to Inform the British government
that we could not attynit the right of
ncizure in these cases.
This is the preliminary step usually
taken in such negotiations. Next in order
will be a report from our consulnr repre
sentative at Lourenco Murqucs respect
lug the present condition of the seized or
detained goods nnd damage sustained.
The department Is not yet fully inform
ed on these points, tliMigh thut will be
necessary to the further presentation of
the cases. It is not even 'known just
where the goods are or if they huve ull
been seized or only iu part.
It will be the duty of our consular
ngent at Lourenco Marques to ascertain
and report these facts, and he is now en
gaged in doing this under the original in
structions of the state department.
While the department is acting, as it
promised in the beginning, to firmly pro
tect all American rights of trade, it is
showing no unseemly baste In the prcseu
tation of tho case. The Instruction to
Mr. Choate wus not a demand for the re
lease of the goods nor yet for indemnity,
but rather n precautionary notice to the
British government to save nil of our
rights in the case. It will be sufficient to
Inaugurate the settlement of the matter
by negotiation, and the state department
has not the slightest doubt that the Brit
ish authorities will make full amends to
the owners of the goods when the facts
are all laid before it.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. The month
ly statement of the public debt shows
that at the close of business Dec. 30 the
debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted
to $1,134,300.(107, n decrease for the
month of $5,7!1.N24. This decrease is
largely accounted for by the purchase of
bonds during the month. The debt is re
capitulated as follows: Interest bearing
debt, !1,021,772.320; debt on which in
terest bus cea.sed since maturity. $1,208,

just, as It has been presented.
That Ita enactment Into law will less
en the nmount of money there will be
to do busines with Its warmest advo
cates admit. Is there n mnn In the
country, no matter how little thought
he gives to financial affairs, who does
not realize that to lessen the supply of
money Is to cripple business, decrease
values, destroy confidence nnd Insure
panics? Are these whnt we want?
And then as to a legal tender. The
proposed bill makes no provision for
this. At present greenbacks are the
only legal tender we have excepting
gold. These, under the provisions of
the law nbout to be enncted, are to be
redeemed nnd retired. When they are
retired how in the name of all that Is
fair to business, or Just to the people,
are men to pay their debts? When
greenbacks are not to be had the cred
itor will demnnd gold, and where la
tli nt. to come from?
Todny, with all the greenbacks that
are In circulation and all the gold that
is held by individuals nnd banks, there
Is not enough In nny community to pay
the one-fourth of the debts within It
When one-lmlf of this Is retired and
the demand Is made for gold alone to
liquidate these debts can any one point
to where it can be had without pnylng
an enormous premium for It?
And it is to make a premium on gold
that the effort to change the currency
laws of the country Is now being made
to enhaneo its value and benefit the
few who can own and control it. The
real effects of such legislation may not
be felt nt once, but they are ns sure to
come as the sun la to shine on a cloud
less day or the waters are to continue
to run down hill. When they do come
they will be the beginning of the end of
