"When the horses of the Ninth' Lancers were jaded and the men completely exhausted after many hours' fighting, Lord Metheun ordered them to charge an absolutely impregnable position. Colonel Gough sent a respectful refusal. Lord Methuen then rode up to the head of his regiment aud severely rebuked him; Colonel Gough again pointed out the impossibility of executing the order, and Lord Methuen loft the regiment after uttering remarks which made the ears of every man sting.

"Early. next morning, it is said, Lord Methuen sent a note to Colonel Gough to this effect: 'My dear Colonel Please come over to my quarters as quickly as you can.

J. Q. A. Henry Makes Tw Addresses An Organized. The J.

Henry, who told of the. purposes of the Anti Saloon. League, and what had been so far accomplished throughout tha United States since the institution of" the league in Ohio, six years ago, laying particular stress upon the results achieved in this state since, the. beginning of operations here, aiout a year ago. Eight hundred meetings had been held in churches, and in Brooklyn alone 110 churches had opened their doora to representatives of the organization to present the cause to the people.

Henry gave the principles upon which the league based its work, these having been published in the Eagle last Monday in a report of aa address delivered by the Rev. Dr. Howard H. Russell; founder' arid organizer'1 ot the league in Ohio, who spoke in tlie Bedford Presbyterian Church. Dr.

Henry emphasised tho idea that the churches, through the members as Christians; were bound as followers of Christ to laJbot for the crushing of the saloon, and not to do so was to be disloyal to a sacred' trusty He said that the public was already aroused in Brooklyn in commendation of the Anti Saloon League, and he commended tha Raines law as one worthy of being faithfully' enforced until better legislation could be se cured. The way to get better he said, was to get better lawmakers, arid the way to get better lawmakers was for Christian men to go to tho primaries and see that good men were nominated. If Christian men were given places on the itlckot not matter what their politics were; because' they would see to it that laws against the' overwhelming power of the saloon element were enactetL Dr. Henry said that stneo' May 1S99, when tho Sta'te AntL Saloon'. League' was organized, fifteen" tnen and woman had been constantly at work.

meetings being held every week, and already, thirty towns had voted the saloon out. of. bad determined to do so. He said the causa) should be "geared to the kingdom of God," aa without It nothing could be God's hand was already manifest, as was evidenced by what had been Mr. Woelfkin, in a few words, heartily Indorsed the league's work.

Cards were circulated for monthly subscribers to' tha funds for prosecuting the work of the organization and a large number were' secured. At the request a number of the: young men. Dr. Henry visited tfie Green Avenue Church in' the afternoon and organised att auxiliary league. In the evening Dr.

PROHIBITIVE RATE FOR QUEENS.

Suburban Boroughs Cut Off From All Kinds of Stage Entertainments. Bill to Amend the Law. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. 1.. March 19 Sheriff William C.

Baker has run upon a snag in his enter prise of building an opera house or place for public entertainment in Jamaica that has stopped all further progress in the matter for tho present. There is a section in the City of New York charter providing that anyone maintaining and operating a public hall in which there are any stage performances must pay an annual license fee of $500. As Mr. Baker intends to provide his proposed opera house with a stage for use at dramatic entertainments, concerts, lectures and similar affairs he will, if he proceeds in the enterr prise, be compelled as the charter stands at present to pay into the city $500 every year as a license for doing business. "Of course, this rate would be prohibitive in any place in Queens County for a public hall such as I intend to erect," said Mr.

Baker, this morning, "and I shall proceed no further until I can obtain a reasonable, rate." Assemblyman Metcalf of Richmond has introduced in the Legislature a bill making the license fee $100 in the Borough of Richmond for public halls such as Mr. Baker intends to erct for popular entertainments. An effort will now be made to have the bill amended so as to include Queens Borough. "As a result' of the present state o't affairs," says Mr. Baker, "there has not been a dramatic performance given in Jamaica since January 1.

1898, the date of consolidation, and probably the same can be said of every other portion of the borough." Commissioner of Buildings Campbell says that practically the same state of affairs exists in Richmond. There are five amusement resorts on Rock away Beach: Kingsland's. Demling's, Morrison's, Genet's and. one other on Rockaway Beach that pay $250 for a three months' license, and there are three or four other places, such as the concert and beer gardens at Ridgewood and North Beach, that take out licenses but such large and flourishing places as Flushing, with its 12,500 inhabitants; Jamaica, 8,000: W'oodhaven. S.000; College Point.

6.000: Whltesto'ne. 3.000 Nnd Far Rock away. 4,000, are prevented by the terms of the charter from having public halls, entertainments other than such as can denominated as strictly for educational purposes. The building regulations of the city also call for a fireproof building and many other stringent regulations necessary in the thickly settled portions of Manhattan Island and Brooklvn. But builders are unanimous in their expression of opinion that such regulations union uidL are entirely uncalled for in Queens and iticn mond boroughs.

H. Duff Baker's proposed opera house to be made by an enlargement and alteration of the old Academy Hall Building on Fulton street is to he 13 i feet long, 61 feet wide, with a 27 foot ceiling and will be one of the finest opera houses as to its interior arrangements in this county. It will have twelve private boxes and' a gallery with eight tiers of seats and capable of accommodating 250 persons. There will be a fine modern stage with ample scenery. There will he eight wide exits from the first floor and six from the gallery.

A fine porte cochere will be built at the side of the building for the protection of those coming to entertainments in carriages. An amplo kitchen is provided in tho basement and an. abundance of clojOc Topmes.and a bowling alley' and billiard room?

SUFFOLK VOTER COUNTS AS TWO Question Will Come Up at Riverhead on April 5 Queens Assembly District Republican Conventions Called. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L.

March 19 The Republican Congressional convention to be held at Riverhead, Suffolk County, on April 5 will probably have more important business lo transact than the election of two delegates to represent the district at the National Convention, to be held at Philadelphia. The Republicans of Queens and Nassau counties are determined this time to have a reapportionment of representatives at future conventions that will be more just than the present arrangement, whereby one voter in 'Suffolk counts for nearly double the voting power of a voter In Queens. At the convention to be held at Riverhead next month. Queens County will have: ten delegates. Nassau six and Suffolk twelve.

Tho apportionment as between Queens "and Nassau was made by the county committees of the respective counties, the old Queens County, quota being sixteen to twelve for Suffolk. At trie, last gubernatorial election in 189S, Queens cast Republican votes; Nassau; 5,415 and Suffolk. 7,928. On the basis of that vote Queens is fairly entitled to twelve delegates; Nassau to. seven and Suffolk to nine at the next Congressional convention.

Going back to the last presidential election, upon which the basis of representation is usu ally made, the old. (jounty or yueens. inciua ing Nassau, cast 18,694 votes for MeKiriley and Suffolk 9,388. Upon the basis of that vote Queens and Nassau be entitled to twice as many delegates as Suffolk. The whole matter was brought up at the last meeting of the Queens County Republican committee and the words of Supreme Court Justice Wilmot.

M. Smith ot Suffolk at the 1896 Congressional convention were quoted as follows: "I do not see why a vote in Queens is not worth just as much to the party as a vote in Suffolk." Queens Bepublican Conventions. The Republican Assembly District Convention of the Second Assembly District, Queens County, comprising Flushing and Jamaica, will be held at the Third Ward Republican Club rooms, 917 Main street, Flushing, on Monday, April 2, for the purpose of electing five delegates to the Congressional district convention to be held at Riverhead, April 5. and seven delegates to the state convention, to be held at New York City.

London, March 10 "Lord Roberts' plan has been magnificent. He seems to have solved in one all the knotty problems which puzzled other generals. He has rendered the mobility of the Boersuseless, he has overcome the difficulty of transport, he has proved that the Boers can be outflanked, he has shown that secrets can he maintained. He used the resources the country in the shape of rivers for providing water. He has opened the eyes of the enemy to the fact that wo can move when away from our railway." This is the first uncensored comment upon the active operations of General Roberts that has been published in England.

It is contained in the letter of the Daily News correspondent and is dated' Jacobsdal, February 17. None of the other correspondents has been able utilize the mails to better purpose than to describe the departure of Lord Roberts from Cape Town. Hence this account is of peculiar interest. Hurriedly summing up to catch the mail this correspondent says: "In the brief space of seven days he has cleared British soil of the invaders and has occupied a portion of the Free State larger than any. which the Boers occupied of British.

Between the Riet River and the Mod River, taking a line from De Kiel's Drift to Klip Drift and west to Modder River Station, the country has been cleared of Boers. "In two days' time we shall have nearly 60,000 men moving on Blpemfontein, which be reached before, very long." This the correspondent prefaces with a brief resume of the operations prior and subsequent to the relief of Kimberley as fol "Since my last writing I have been unable to take up my pen owing to the rapidity of our movements. Events have followed one another with, lightning celerity. The Seventh Division (cavalry under General French) left De Kiel's Drift Tuesday night and reached a spot lower down the Riet, called Wegdraat, at' 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. The Sixth Division left Randam by another route and, the night, at Waterval Drift, five miles west of DeKiel's, passed the Seventh at Wogdraai, and pushed on the following day to Drieput, on the Modder, which was held hy the cavalry I was with the Seventh, On Wednesday evening, however, I left that division arid, riding on without my cart, over took the Sixth at Drieput.

This division had accomplished the wonderful performance, of marching twenty three miles in twenty four hours. It is this division, also, which had the stiff fight of yesterday. "On Thursday Jacobsdal was occupied by the Seventh, after some fighting, wherein we bad two killed and twenty wounded. In the meajvwhlle, the cavalry tinder General French leffDrieput Thursday morning, 'and marched direct on Kimberley. Boers were encountered 'four 1111165' outside, but they were already leaving.

A sharp fight; took place, Boers retired, and Kimberley was relieved. Every one that, night at Dreiput was elated at our successes'; but the full significance of all our rapid movements was only realized the following morning. "At break of day a great cloud of dust, was seen six miles from camp moving in an easterly direction ancTiextending spme eight miles in length. The Boers were trekking! It came on all as a surprise that this should have been accomplished by a force of 10,009 moun ed men, while one division was twenty" odd miles from Kimberley, another only at Ja cobsdal, and a. third further off still.

But the Boers were' seized with a wholesome fear of our 10,000 mobile cavalry. They had heard of our infantry coming up and feared, and they rightly feared, being caught in a trap. "Soon our mounted infantry patrol sent out to the oast came in and. reported that they had been' driven in hy the enemy's advance guard. They also reported that there was a convoy of nearly 1,000 wagons being escorted along tne north of the Modder.

General Knox's brigade was immediately ordered out with, the Eighty first and Seventy sixth Field Batteries. The convoy had, however, for the moment slipped through and were five or six miles on. The main body of the enemy, however, was attacked. Gallant Stand by the Boers to Save Their Transport. "The Boers made a gallant stand to give their transport time to get through.

They took up a strong position north of the Modder on some kopjes with three sides facing south, east and west. From the eastern end of the road followed the course of the river, protected by a slight declivity in the ground. At distances of about 500 yards other kopjes arose, which gave the Boers good' positions as they fell back and acted as stepping stones in their line of retreat. "The main position was occupied the whole dny by the bulk of the enemy, who were covering the rest of their force as retired. Our shrapnel played on it hour after hour, and the enemy deserve the greatest admiration for the manner in which they maintained their position.

Their efforts, however, were not destined to be crowned with success. Four thousand of our mounted infantry moving in echelon got round their left, or, rather, cut off their line of retreat, as we were fighting in parallel lines. "Their oxen, having come from Kimberley, were exhausted, and before nightfall they had to be outspanned ten miles from their iriain position. The Seventy sixth Battery was quickly up there and ruthlessly played on the transport until dark. The enemy seemed very determined to get through to Koffyfon tein, which is, so I hear, extremely strong.

They have evacuated all their positions those round Magersfontein as well as those round Kimberley and have, as we hear, left their big guns behind. General French has left Kimberley and is moving round north of the Boers to cut them off from Bloenifontein." Roberts' Strategy Misled Correspondents, and His Own Troops. The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Telegraph 'furnishes interesting' testimony to the secrecy with which the movements of the main British Army are planned. "Lord Roberts' strategy, as we know," he writes, February 21. "has been' a brilliant success.

It not merely, misled the Boers; it.mys titled our own troops and correspondents. Your representative in the Colesberg district was distressed about our being outnumbered and then driven back, first to Rensburg and then to Arundel. 'Take a place one day and retire from it the next! Possibly our.gener als know what they are about, but to us It is perplexing to a This was writtten on' the very day that French relieved Kimberley. Now your correspondent understands the reason why. From Gatacre's command name the same complaint.

Methuen's Disagreements With His Officers. The Outlook publishes under the heading, fLord Methuen and his Colonels: A cue for Inquiry," what appears to bo the first authoritative statement of tho internal friction, which sun at noonday. He answered: "My dear General I quite see your meaning, and, as I must decline to leave my regiment, please let me know whether you wish to put me under arrest or wnetner you wouiu prefer that I should return to "Lord Methuen replied, thanking 'my dear Colonel' for his perspicacity and indicating that Colonel Gough had best return home. (Another version upon these details states that Lord Methuen merely sent for the commanding officer of the Ninth Lancers," and, on Colonel Gough turning up, expressed his surprise and his desire to see the second in command in preference. The point is the same in either case; Lord Methuen preferred sending Colonel Gough home to placing him under arrest, the normal course.

Ed. Outlook.) Before Colonel Gough left for he had to kick his heels about camp for over twenty four hours ere he could get away Lord Methuen sent for him, and, with a gleam of the old Paul Methuen, whom so many loved, admired and said: 'Goodby. Gough. Remember, there's no stain on your military "Colonel Gough returned to England, nominally on sick leave. He at.

once sought the at the War Office, laid the facts them and demanded a court martial. This had to be refused because of the impos sibility of recalling Lord Methuen for the purpose of giving evidence. When Lord Roberts was appointed Commander in Chief of the Forces in South Africa, Colonel Gough had a long interview with him before his departure, and gave him a written statement of his case. Lord Roberts promised to inquire into the matter on the first opportunity, and several of the most experienced English officers have expressed the belief that Colonel Gough will shortly leave for the Cape and resume his post at the head of his regiment. "Three days after his dispute with Colonel Gough.

Lord Methuen gave an order to the Scots Guards which their commanding officer. Colonel Arthur Paget, declared it was impossible to execute. He absolutely refused needlessly to sacrifice his men in a vain effort to take an impregnable kopje. However, he told Lord Methuen that he would himself walk up to the' position and be shot. Lord Methuen declined to allow this, but told him he must go back to England.

Colonel Arthur Paget declined point blank to leave his men except upon the instructions of Sir Redvers Buller, and he wrote to the latter the same effect. Sir Redvers Buller is reported to have written in reply that he hoped that by the time his answer was received the two old brother officers would have forgotten their differences. There the matter and Colonel Arthur Paget is still at the head of his men. "It is no one's object to endeavor to injure so fine, a fellow as Lord Methuen, biit merely to clear those whom his actions have placed: under a shadow. It is superfluous, therefore, to defend the Highland Brigade against the aspersion alleged to have been made upon them by Lord Methuen.

No one was ever likely to take Lord Methuen seriously in such a charge, and Lord Roberts' first action at the Modder was to salve the feelings of tho brigade, which, as he said, had 'made him'." The fact that Colonel Paget, whose wife is well known American and society leader been mixed, lip in the row with Methuen jfa'd hot published here. Gallant Incident of' the Vaal Krantz Attack; A war correspondent of the Daily Xewa furnishes a hitherto untold and gallant incident of General Buller's attack on Vaal Krantz, when for the third time he failed to reach Ladysniith. The correspondent is describing the retirement of the British Artillery. He writes: "Frequently I saw a gun enveloped in the dust and smoke of an exploded shell, and out of this wlould 'come the 'flash which showed the bursting shell did not put them out their stride for even one moment of time. And gun after gun limbered tip and retired in perfect order, hut then there was a fault.

"To my dismay I saw two guns' entirely ahandoned, horses and men had heen shot down, the other guns of the battery, the Seventy eighth had begun to but. pulled up some distance away. The officer in command seeing the position of affairs, gave orders for more men and horses and then rode up to his gun? and remained standing near them awaiting help. He was, course, a most conspicuous object on the plain, remaining perfectly alone and still: except when' a shell came very near, then his horse became a little restive. One involuntarily breathed a prayer for the preservation of the life of a brave man.

Needless to say that the guns were saved. "I am sorry that I have not been able to learn for certain who the brave field officer was who acted with so much coolness and determination. If it was not Colonel Montgomery, I do not knew who it was." An "Officer With General Buller" writes to the Outlook and tells some homely truths regarding the long period fighting upon the second attempt to reach Ladysmith, which culminated with the disaster at Spion Kop. r'The next five days." he says, Teferrmg to the beginning of the engagements, "were the most unpleasant ones of my life, and I sincerely hope I shall never again experience such a time. Let me explain tho beauties of our position.

There were three regiments lying in a small hollow behind the ridge. One battalion spent the day in occupying this ridge and wasting ammunition on Boer trenches, while the other two found shelter below. Of course, we could not be seen by the enemy, but they must have known we were there, for their artillery directed the greater part of Its attention to our hollow. One gun fired at us from our front, a second from our left and a third, together with an automatic Nordenfeldt, took us from our right rear. These pieces enjoyed themselves thoroughly, for our own artillery in rear could not, from the nature of the ground, see them.

They burst shrapnel over the ridges, so that, fragments hummed through the valley and made matters too exciting for ordinary mortals. "We endured this till Friday, the 26th. In remember, we had no wagons; therefore the men had no greatcoats (and the. nights were cold) nor blankets, washing and shaving were impossible and we had no change of clothing tor fourteen days. For seven days, from sunrise to sunset, our ears were stunned by the crack of rifles and the ronr of guns.

We never liked to stand up or move about, but were forced to lie behind a rock, with a Natal sun extracting every ounce of moisture in our bodies. "Finally we received orders to retire at 10 P. M. on the 26th. I think we all welcomd the orders." HELP EOB WIDOW AND ORPHANS.
