London, Dec. 15.—Gen. Kitchener’s sup-
plementary dispatch referring to the dis-
aster at Magliesburg confirms yesterday’s
most pessimistic feats and demonstrates
the catastrophe to be among the worst of
the war. The matter was brought up in
the house of commons today, but the sec-
retary of war, Mr. St. John Broderick,
had no information to add except that the
wounded numbered six officers and 55
men. Newspapers see a prearrangement
in the recrudescene of Boer activity
everywhere, the object being to strengthen
Kruger's hands, white the fact that news
of a fresh disaster conies on the anni-
versary of the battle pf Colenso furnishes
editors with an excus^ to demand the head
of Gen. Buller. The St. James Gazette
declares it has reason to credit the na-
tional reverses to a statement that Buller,
after the first failure.;!© drive the Boers
from the Tugela, counselled Gen. White
to surrender Ladysmith.

merce and they would not be left unde-
fended. Mr. Hawley is thoroughly pleased

They consist of four companies of

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 15.—Wm. J. Bryan
gave out the following interview -today:
“I have had for several years in con-
templation the establishment of a weekly
newspaper and this seems an opportune
time for undertaking it. I intend to. de-
vote my life to the study and. discussion
of public questions. I have taken this
method because it will best accomplish
the purpose which I have in view.
Through the paper I will be able to keep
in touch with the social, economic and
political problems. The paper will, at the
same time, if successful, provide an in-
come sufficient for my pecuniary needs,
and the work will allow me more time
with my family than I have been able to
enjoy for several years past. I expect to
lecture occasionally, especially in college
towns where I can speak to students, but
my principal work will be done with the
pen, or, perhaps I should say, with pencil.
The paper will be called the Commoner
and will defend the principles set forth in
the Kansas City platform. I shall be pub-
lisher and editor and Lincoln will be the
place of publication.”
DELEGATE FROM HAWAII.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.—Robert W.

in immediately after the approval of the
journal in the house today. Many mem-
bers came forward and congratulated Wil-
cox. Consideration of the war revenue
reduction bill was then resumed.
New York, N. Y., Dec. 15.—A dispatch to
The Tribune from, London says: ‘‘The
best hope of any readjustment of the
Nicaragua canal question by diplomatic
means lies in the speedy ratification of
the treaty with as few additional amend-
ments as possible: But this is saying
little. Lord Lansdowne can not with rea-
son be expected to. acquiesce in any new
arrangements for the canal unless there
is a general settlement of all Canadian
questions or some system of compensating
advantages based on the give and take
principle. This is clearly the opinion of
the English press, which regrets the re-
vival of the vexatious controversy with
the United States.

Work of Laying Them Begun, by
Telephone Company.
Early this afternoon ground was broken
as the preliminary step in the inaugura-
tion of the; proposed underground system
of the Southwestern telegraph and tele-
phone company. The underground circuit
will traverse a district of very nearly six
miles, the boundaries- being from 17th to
25th and from. Strand to N% .
Ground was broken for the work now to
be actively prosecuted until finished in
the middle of the short alley on 22d street,
between Strand and avenue A. The first
spadesful of earth were taken up by Fore-
man of Underground Construction Jensen,
who will have charge of the work, and
Mr. Herbert Snelling, manager of the
local telephone exchange. It was ex-
pected that other officials of the company
would be present here at the breaking of
ground, but these were unavoidably de-
tained, leaving the inauguration of the
work to the officials named.
No formal preparations were made for
the breaking of ground, although the pro-
ceedings were witnessed' by a little knot
of interested citizens and onlookers who
had been apprised of the company’s in-
tention to take the first step in starting
the work. The work will be completed
within the next four or six months and
the line in operation. The camp of the
construction force, which will be added to
largely now that the work has begun, was
pitched some two weeks ago on the cor-
ner of 28th street and avenue I.

It was reported this afternoon that Capt,
John Cotter, supeivising inspector of tha
Tenth district, in reviewing the decision^
of the local inspectors, Hirshberger andl
Murray, in the Olsen case, reversed their,
decision.
This cas6 grew out of the pilot fight*
charges having been preferred against OI-.
sen before, the local inspectors for board-
ing a foreign vessel in violation of tha.-
customs regulations. Capt. Cotter is said;
to have held that the inspectors should*
not have revoked Olsen’s license as a mas-,
ter even if he were convicted of violation.,
of the customs regulations by th© United!

The St.. James Gazette holds Buller
alone is blameable for the disasters of the
Tuegla campaign and says:
‘‘When comparable blunders occurred in
the navy a court-martial meted out jus-
tice. Why, therefore, should not the same
rule *hold good in the army?”
The public apparently is little affected
by the fresh troubles. The soldiers are
still eager to go to South Africa, the news
from Magliesburg having resulted in of-
fers from volunteer regiments to proceed
to the front. In contrast with the ap-
parent insufficiency of troops to1 master
the situation in South Africa comes the
revelation of. the fact that military re-
sources at home are still at the disposition
of the government in today’s announce-
ment that 46,000 troops will be sent from
Aidershot to London to> participate in Lord
Roberts’ triumphal entry Jan. 3.

London, Dec. 15.—Parliament was dis-
missed today until the middle of Feb-
ruary with th© reading of the shortest of
the queen’s speeches. It was as follows:
‘‘My Lords and Gentlemen: I thank you
for the liberal provision you have made
for expenses incurred by the operations
.of my armies in South Africa and China.”
The proceedings today in the house of
commons were a repetition only in mina- I
ture of the debates of the brief session. I
The ministers were heckled, the war was .
virulently denounced and Chamberlain i
further attacked. The war funds were j
finally voted after the secretary of state
for war, Mr. Broderick, had given assur-
ance the governrrfent, during the recess,
would cordially co-operate with Kitchener
in an endeavor to end the war.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.—It is learned
at the papal legation that coincident with
the close of the 19th century every arch-
bishop and bishop in the United States,
aS- wTell as elsewhere, is expected by Pop©
Leo to pontificate publicly at midnight
service in his cathedral, provided there
b© no impediments to interfere with the
program. As some of the American sees
have two prelates laboring in conjunction
it is expected that while the archbishop
of the. diocese officiates ar his cathedral
in person on this solemn occasion the co-
adjutor prelate or assistant will conduct
similar services at. the church which he
governs as pastor. There are a number
of these located at Baltimore, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, N©w Orleans, Chi-
cago, Indianapolis and other places, where
the spectacle of two bishops offleiatng
.concurrently at ‘‘‘midnight mass” will
thus be witnessed. It is understood the.
century’s close will be marked by ex-
treme acts of devotion on the part of the
Catholic clergy everywhere. By reason of
the pope’s desire they will specially sig-
nalize the event. At Baltimore Cardinal
Gibbons will conduct commemorative
rites, while his coadjutor bishop, Alfred
Curtis, presides at one of the churches in
that city. In Washington Archbishop
Martinelli, papal delegate, has promised
to officiate at midnight mass at St. Pat-
rick’s church.

San Francisco', Cal., Dec. 15.—Tit(
heaviest wind and rain storm in the
tory of the state of California raged fai(
half an hour yesterday afternoon. Twa
fatalities, Mrs. John King and John
kins, are reported near Salinas, and tha
damage to property will b© considerable*.
Telegraph and telephone companies su&
fered severely and for several hours serv<
ice was completely suspended. Th^
greatest damage done to wires was bet*
tween this city and Benicia, where tha
wind from San Francisco bay had fulj
sweep. In places the telegraph and teleU
phene pales for several hundred yardoi
were blown down. The few telegrams re.
ceived from outside points show the storm
extended quite generally over the central
and northern portions of the state. f
Heavy thunder and lightning accomk
panied .the storm in this city, pie wind
blew at terrific velocity and the rain de*
scended in sheets. An old house on Bart,
lett street was torn down and of its occu-
pants Mrs. Kate Ramsey, 70 years old^
was seriously injured.
On Oakland Mole 20 poles' went dowrK
and telegraphic communications with Sanj
Francisco were entirely cut off until latal
last night.
At Berkley the Episcopal mission!
church was entirely demolished. Meageri,
dispatches from outside points show
storm covered considerable territory.

London, Dec. 15.—Lord Kitchener sends
the following message io the war office:
‘‘Pretoria, Dec. 14.—Clements' casualties
were, I regret to say, heavy. Killed, five
officers and nine of other ranks; missing,
IS officers and 555 of, other ranks. These
latter were four companies of the North-
umberland fusileers who were stationed
on a hill, and some yeomanry and other
details sent up to support them. The
names and nature of wounds are being
telegraphed from Cape Town. Broad-
wood’s brigade took no^ part in the en-
gagement. The Boers suffered severely.
‘‘Knox drove De Wet north to Thaban-
chu-Ladybrand line, which was held by
our troops. De Wet's force, about 3009
strong, made several attempts to get
through during the day, assisted by a
force of Boers operating pom the north.
These attacks were driven back, though
some of the Boers from, the south were
able to get through the line.”
Wiring later Kitchener reports that
while passing the lines in the neighbor-
hood of Thabanchu De Wet’s force lost
considerably. The South African light
horse and Thorneycroft mounted infantry
captured a 15-pounder at Dewetsdorp, a
pompom, several wagons with ammuni-
tion, 22 prisoners and some horses and
mules. A portion of the1 enemy has not
been able to, pass north.
