Allen, appointed senator from this state, canbe seated. The contention of some is ‘ that Hayward never having taken his seat the whole matter is in the same position as in a state where the legisla- ture failed to elect. _The question is said to have occasioned Hayward considerable worry before his death. Several lawyers were of the opinion that, the legislature having made an electibn, the failure of the person elected -to qualify would not' deprive the state of right to representa- tion. Others of equal prominence were in doubt about it. .‘ 1' Haunt” the. most wonderful medicine to-day, 110$}??le curing; Colds, Sore . Throat , . Rho umatIsm and‘ali ai ll.

Colenso Over Eleven Hundred ’ Men. BULLER FORCED BACK FIVE MILES. Volunteers Come Forward Rapidly. Disagreement Over War Expendi- tures Denied—Searcity of Grain In Orange Free State. LONDON, Dec. 22.—There is still no definite news regarding the military oper- ,ations in South Africa.“ . Probably this is because the only cable that is new work~ ing‘ is choked with official dispatches. General Buller’s casualty list at Colen- so, just published, shmvs that 146 were killed and,746 wounded. Two hundred and twenty-seven are described as miss- ing, and ofv-thesc about 40 are known to be prisoners "in the hands of the Boers. This makes a‘ total larger than General Buller’s original estimate. Londonhas been startled by a dispatch from Camp Chieveley, Natal, saying that on Sunday General Buller's army retreat- ed five miles from its position in front 0 the Boers. ' This retrograde movement in itself wou’ldmot have caused seriousalarm, as it would be considered a natural precau‘ tionary step for Buller to take in the cir- cumstances, but the dispatch adds that two brigades were sent back to Frere in order to frustrate a possible attempt of the Boers to flank the British and destroy the railroad in their rear. . Royal letters signed by the queen are being circulated by the archbishops to 2' ithe bishops of the various dioceses au- thorizing a collection in the churches throughout England on Jan. 7 in aid of the fund for sick and wounded soldiers and their families. , ' Interest centers for the moment in the preparations to send out re-enforcements. The various city guilds have given an ad- ditional £12,000 for the expenses of the imperial volunteers besides gifts of horses, ambulances and other parapher- nalia. ‘ ' The latest notable volunteers include two nephews of Lord Roberts, Major Charles Sherston and Major Maxwell Sherston. Their brother was killed at Glencoe. . The admiralty have decided to dispatc another naval brigade of 700 men to South Africa. It is believed that in mobilizing the eighth division the war office will have recourse to some extent to the militia, it being deemed inadvisable to denude the home garrisons overmuch of regulars. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, has issued a form- al denial that any differences exist in the cabinet regarding war expenditure. According to a dispatch from Cape Towxi, there is a good deal of distress in the Orange Free State owing to a scar- city of grain. ' Field Marshal Lord Roberts held a special military council of war at the war oflice yesterday. He strongly urged that a large contin- gent of native Indian cavalry be sent to South Africa for service against the Boers, It was his judgment that they would prove of inestimablc service in the guer- rilla tactics necessary to cope with the Boers’ mode of warfare. As a result of his insistence Indian Sec‘ retary Hamilton cabled the Viceroy, Lord Curzon, to learn how many squadrons were available for war service and how soon they could be landed in South Af- rlca. The Paris correspondent of The Morn- ing Post telegraphs the substance of an interview with M. Emile Zola explaining why French opinion is on the side of the Boers: M. Zola, while expressing senti- ments friendly to Great Britain, said: “The great mass of the French people are unacquainted with the details of the more or less complicated dispute which culminated in war. In the eyes of the unreasoning m'ob a powerful nation is as- sailing a small, weak people. The im- pulses of the mob, although unreasoning, are frequently generous. Herein is the explanation of public opinion in France, Germany and Russia.” General Kitchener’s Movements. ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 22. —— Lord Kitchener arrived last evening from Cai- ro and went on board the British second class cruiser Isis, which immediately sail— ed for Malta. Much Building ‘In New York. NE‘V YORK, Dec. 22.——According to the quarterly htlhtin just issued by'the state «bureau ,of labor statistics, building operations in Greater New York for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1899, were con- ducted on a much more extensive Scale than during the corresponding term of months in 1898. The estimated cost of all projected structural enterprises for the third quarter of the year,1899 show an increase of $9,332,188 over the figures for the same months of 1898, the total approximated value being $32,552,876 ‘47 and $23,220,688 respectively. Theplans were filed and accepted for 2,298 pro- posed new buildings during the three months which closed on the 30th cf Sep- tember, this year, as against 2,159 pro- jected in the same months of 1898, the increase over last. year being 6.4 per cent. The 2,298 structures, it was estimated. would'cost $30,250,267, while the "cost of the 2,159 contemplated last year was placed at,$21,348,726.

ALBANY, Dec. 22.—Deputy Superin- tendent of Public Instruction,Ainsworth was shown Comptroller Colcr’s figures with reference to the amount of money paid into the state treasury by.l\'ew York county for school purposes and his implied claim that because the amount paid in largely exceeded the amount drawn out by New York she has the Mr. Ainsworthsays that, since 1795 the state tax for school purposes has been ty of the State.

"The result is that she does pay into the treas' ' 'u-ry‘probablyjnore money than Hamilton county, but no good citizen would claim that New York was exempt from a gen- eral state law because of hex-wealth. ‘As well might Mr. Vanderbilt or Mr. Rocke- ' feller claim special privileges as, a citizen because he pays a larger tax than Comp- troller Coler does. Mr. Colerwould ob- ject to that. Hamilton county objects to New York-claiming a'special privilege because of increased wealth. This school money is divided among the counties in proportion to their popu- lation a'fi-d teachers «dfipldybdf New York recives, all that her population and teaching force entitle her‘ to, as does Hamilton county. - The statement of Mr. Coler might. be valuable in considering what the law ought to be from his. stand- point.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ‘22.—Com‘ptrol- ler Dawes last evening appointed Special Examiner Daniel G. ,Wing temporary re- ceiver of the Globe N ational bank of Bos- ton. In connection with his action the comptroller said: “Some time ago Mr. \Ving. whois one of the experts employ- edr‘in the system 'of special} bank examina- tions recently inaugurated, discovered a serious condition of affairs in the Globe National bank, which he immediately brought to the attention of the comp- troller and under his direction to the di— rectors of the bank. "The“ directors very laudably agreed and undertook to make good the doubtful and bad assets found and have greatly improved the condition of the bank since that time. They also delivered to the comptroller a written guarantee that they would remove the doubtful assets. Recent failures in Bos- ton have lessened the value of the unper- formed portion of the guarantee and in- volved the solvency of the bank. Negro Slave Dead. .- MONTICELLO, N.
