LONDON, January SO.— A special from Frere Camp. says: ■■: •■ ••1 have just ridden in here,. having left General Buller's forces in the new. posi tions south of the Tugela, to which they retired after the reverse at Spion Kop. • "The lighting both before and after the occupation of the mountain was of a des perate character. Spion Kop is a precipi tous mountain overtopping the v.iiole line of Kopjes along the Upper Tugela. "On the eastern side the mountain faces Mount Alice and Potgieter's Drift, stand ing at right angles to the Boer central position and Lyttleton's . advanced posi tion. The -southern point descends in ab rupt steps to the lower line of kopjes. On th<; western side, opposite the right out posts of "Warren's force, it is inaccessibly aeep until the neck joins the kop to the main range. Then there is a gentle slope, ■vvhicb allows easy access to the summit. MAXY BOER IUFLE-PITS. "The nerk was strongly held by the E>'*-rs, who also occupied a heavy spur liHrallel with the kop, where the enemy tvas coa^ealed in ho fewer than thirty " live rifle-j)its, and was. thus enabled to l>ri::g to bear upon our men a damaging cross-fire, the only possible point for a British : attack being-stuc southern side, with virtually sheer precipices on the left f»ml riuht.

' "Among the slain at-- the Tugela is- Lieutenant Bnisewiu. a German officer, who joined the Boers two months ago. "After a. week of uricerla-inty, British: residents of the Transvanl have been, in formed that there is no desire to expel any, except a few- undesirables. Presi dent Kruger, however, has "given a. sig nificant warning that if the Boers are forced to starve, the Britishers will have to share the same; fate." LEE AT FREDERICKSBURG. LONDON, January 29.— The .afternoon newspapers are drawing attention to the closeness of the parallel between the Fed eral attack on General Lee at Fredericks burg and the operations on the Upper Tugela. Curiously enough, there is visible, and: especially . in military circles, an under current of relief at the news that the British are safely south of. the Tugela, for the rumors of Saturday had conjured up visions of an: immense catastrophe. As the afternoon newspapers are comment ing without full knowledge of the facts, they are not disposed to offer any apolo gies for General Buller's defeat. SWAGGER AND RANT WON'T DO. The St. James Gazette says: "The meaning of- the retreat is obvious. We have had to recognize that we cannot force our way through the enemy's lines to'^Ladysmith. Why, we do not know. If the Boer position is impregnable it ought, never to have been attacked. If it is capable of being taken, we were re pulsed because the^ leadership was bad, and it is idle to attempt to conct?al that the latter is far from incredible. To start out declaring there must be no turning back is eminently foolish. When swagger and rant prevail there is. com monly plentiful lack of judgment and true-resolution. It requires serious ef fort not to yield to the gloomy conviction that the intellectual and moral qualities which make for success have been re placed on our : st^fC by- words, -words, words. The remedy for "South Africa is not to add to the numbers,' but to put the troops where their force can come into play." 100,030 MORE MEN" NEEDED. The Westminister Gazette invites the country to cast aside "all delusions, and recognize the fact that progress for the present is stopped in Natal, ; and that safety lies in concentration. General White's force as an effective aid must be written off, and probably most of Gene ral Buller's army has left the Tugela. The Boers have been given path to Press against an advance through the 'Free State, and we have not sufficient strength at present to undertake this advance; with any safety. These are ugly facts, but those who disguise them are again misleading the public. The plain truth is that we'will have. to maki a new army somehow from somewher-.-. We need at least 100,000 more men— so,ooo to reinforce the Cape and 50,000 in reserve." The Globe says: "It would be a mis- (CONCLUDED ON THIRD PAGE.) GKEATEK. SEAIIOAItB AIR-I.IKE. Project Xove to Be Pwshcd-Its Fi unneial Basis. NEW YORK, January 29.— Recent court decisions haying been favorable to • the Seaboard Air-Line reorganization scheme, President John Skelton Williams says that the plan will be pushed to com pletion as soon as possible. The financial: foundation of the plan consists of the issue of $(2,500,000 consolidated 4 per cent, merger bonds, and of this amount $19,670,- OOD is to be issued, at 'once. 515,000,000 is to be reserved for future extensions and im provements, and ?37,5n0,000" is set aside to offset prior liens. The bunds to be immediately issued are \o be distributed as follows: 5G.550.000 goes to the Florida Central and Peninsu lar syndicate, in exchange for the stock of that company; $4,109,000 will be applied toward cancelling the bonds of the roads acquired; 51.325,000 is to be issued in ex change for Georgia and Alabama pre ferred stock at 50. and S9CO.COO for Georgia and \labama common at 25; '51.3C0.030 will retire car-trust certificates;- >03G,000 will retire Durham and Northern sixes; Sl. 000000 will be. applied on- the South Caro lina extension from Hamlet; $1,600,000 will be used to retire shares of Seaboard stock and shares on" other roads held by minority stockholders, and, s2,OSS,ooo will be applied to stock' bought^ by the Sea board Air-Line syndic-ate.

WASHINGTON, January . f 29. —A newsr paper interview .with the British Vice- Consul' at "New Orleans,, assailing Senator Mason (Republican), of Illinois,, for his pro-Transvaal attitude, was made the-, text to-day, in' the Senate, for a question of privilege by Mr. Mason, who net only attacked the consul, but the British poli cy in levying war upon an inferior nation. The consul's course was : severely' de nounced'in several speeches. v A feature of the day's proceedings was a forceful pro-Filipino speech by Mr. Till man (Democrat), of South Carolina; '.. . Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, pre sented a resolution calling on the Presi- ! dent, if riot incompatible with public in terests, to. inform the Senate if the peo ple of Samoa had been consulted with reference to the recent treaty with the Samoan Islands. Tlie resolution went over. . Under a special order, resolutions pre sented by Mr. Allison, .of -lowa,- -for the election of Charles Bennett, of New York, as secretary. of the Senate, and Daniel M. ltansdell. of Indiana; as sergeant-at-arms, were adopted, without division. They will qualify about February Ist. THE NEW ORLEANS' INTERVIEW.'"! Mr. Mason, of Illinois, rose to a ques tion of personal privilege. He. had -read a newspaper clipping of an interview with tliQ British Consul at New Orleans, . win) was quoted as saying that the BritiVi public was disgusted with the position taken by the American people and some of the senators in^ Congress on, the sub ject of. the British-Transvaai war. That position -Was assumed, • the .consul was quoted as saying, simply because the American people were mercenriary. To-i day, they were' favorable' to the Boers v becausej; they,.: had .achieved , a.,little suc cess; to-morrow, 'they would be jiist ' as favorable to -the British, when they had achieved victory. The consul considered as particularly bombastic the utterances of certain senators of the United Vtates, and declared, according to the interview, thatkwh'en Senator Mason adopted the' role of a\ mountebank and • encouraged the "half-civilized. people, he did so simply "for show and for votes." Mr. Mason said the consul's utterance was scarcely worth attention, except that he was one of the accredited representa tives of a great nation to this" country. '•It is not the first time," declared Mr; Mason, "that" a British: diplomat has at tempted to run this country. So far as his personal attacks upon me are con cerned, I have no concern. " They do me honor.- The more venomous the attacks by the British upon me,' and those who think like me: the more we are made the subjects of British stupidity and. asinini ty the sooner will all the ' American peo ple get on the right side of the controver "Cheap men who come to this cottntry in di})lomatic or consular capacity and misquote the utterances' of senatorsonly accentuate the arrogance and cowardice of those people." SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS. Further along, Mr. Mason said that, ac cording to the best information obtain able, the people of Scotland, those of Ire land, and 95 per cent, of the. people of America were in sympathy. with, the Boers in their contest with Great Britain. After suggesting that he ;needed no sPecialde fence from the State Department in this matter, he said he w r anted;to : know what had become of the arbitration" treaty that was submitted to the Senate. "I am told," he continued, "that the United States Government cannot medi ate in this war until that treaty has been ratified.. If , that is so I want that treaty discovered and ratified, so that that- bar-: rier against mediation shall be removed." Mr. Mason then adverted to the resolu tion of sympathy with the Boers, which he had offered early in the session. He urged the Committee on Foreign Rela tions, to" which the resolution, had been referred, to make a report upon, it, order that a vote might be had on it. If it Avas not fair, he urged, the committee should make it fair,' but he did not want to believe that it: was buried in the com mittee, as :'the Loridon newspapers had ' announced the morning after its introduc tion. " ~ •'Don't take that- child to ; ; the 1 grave yard," urged Mr. Mason, "for I: give you notice now that there will be a resurrec tion of it every; day after this week:: You'll have a chance to. think about it at least once every day, unless you; go to the" cloak-rcoms while I discuss it." ' HOAR ON THE CONSUL'S" REMARKS. . Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, regarded the utterance ..of the .British Consul', as •'. very serious, ; "an attack,' in fact,- upon' the. character of a United States senator.; and .upon the American people. It-seemed: to him that' inasmuch as the matter had been. brought officially, to:- the attention of the i Senate,. it ought to be referred vto the Committee on Foreign Relations,:so: that that committee might bring it to the. at-., tention -of .the President.

Is the tlag to become again a 'flaunting lie' and float over a military, despotism, lirst in the Philippines and .later at home? Was the memorable cbiitiict between slavery and freedom useless? Have we gained no rthing? Is the commercial gread which dominates in' our councils, and coerces the President to do his bloody and dirty work, to make of the Constitution a new 'league with death and a covenant with ; htjU', in the interest of oppression akin to -slavery? In order to do all these things must we 'camp outside the Constitu tion); 1 and- give the old interpretation of the southern; slave-holders to the Decla ration of Independence, and nullify all precedents and decisions "of our Supreme Court? Did this nation . offer up of its best and bravest upon the altar of. liberty, the. blood of - seven hundred thousand men-, and spend and destroy five . billions of treasure that we might have a 'gov ernment of the people, by the people, for the. people,' to find that in the brief span of ■ one' man's life the sacrifice was vain, the civil war a mistake, and that the colored race has no rights we are bound to respect at home or abroad?"' QUOTATIONS FROM SCRIPTURE. ' Adverting to Mr. Beveridge's quotations from the Bible, "Mr. Tillman said: "I. have heard that the devil can; quote Scripture for his own purposes.

Reports Hud Come to the Ears of the Husband AVhieli Caused Him to Attempt the tife of Barnett— Surrenders Himself. William J. . Rhodes, a young: man of Church Hill, shot; and probably ...-.fatally wounded Frank Barnett,, also of Church Hill, ■ yesterday morning -.-about ' 11:30 o'clock, at the corner of Church Hill ave nue 'and Twenty-second street. ; ..Rhodes surrendered himself, and is now locked up at tlie First Police Station, white Barnett is at the Hospital with a 3S-calibre bullet in his brain. He may live, but the- chances 'are against him. Rhodes .was, led to : shoot Barnett because" he beiieved he had been intimate with his wife. He had been told so, so : it was learned yesterday, by a number 'of. per sons.. He was crazed with grief "and mor tification, and declared that he would kill Barnett i£ he ever saw him. again. Leaning heavily against, the door. of his cell at' the station-house yesterday, and with tears in his eyes and on his- cheeks, he said to a Dispatch writer: ; "All the happiness I have had in my life I have had in -association with my wife since we have been married. • Now my "life has been ruined him, and I am sure any 1 other man with' self-respect and honor about him would do as I did." Rhodes met Barnett yesterday: morning, and instantly . opened fire on him. Two shots were .fired; only one took effect. This entered Barnett's left cheek and buried itself in his brain. ■'-,:. ' CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE SHOOTING. Rhode's is employed at the Hasker-Mar cuse factory. Perhaps the. last person he spoke to before the shooting. was Mr. Milton Marcuse, one of his employers. He* met Mr. Marcuse on. Church ..Hill avenue. That gentleman asked.; him why he was not at work. He replied that he was.looking -for Frank Barnett,' and was going :to ikill him. ;.Mr. 1 > Marcuse tried hdrd~to '"■ difcsuade- him •■ from - ; his - purpose, telling him he would "regret' it. ; But Rhodes 'said, he felt that he was defend ing his home, and his mind was-made up. He had not goner two squares before he met the man he most wanted, to sei^- When he reached Twenty-second street Barnett came out towards ."Church Hill avenue. Rhodes seemingly; became al most wild, and ran "towards his victim. He shot twice; one ball missed, but the other struck Barnett full on the left cheek, and glancing neither to right nor left, kept on its course, sinking far out of sight into his brain.- Barnett staggered and- fell. He rose and would have fallen again, but by this time a number, of people had col lected and some one .helped him get to. Sergeant Johm T. Hall's residence.- which is on the avenue at Twenty-second street. He was' taken into the residence. Sergeant Hall's wife, herself, aiding him. . BLED \MOST FREELY. -; _ :' The wound bled very freely.".'.- Where Barnett walked across Twenty-second street there' was a. path .stained with blood, there was a pool at the gate, and the lioor of the dwelling was enmsorw. The first physician to arrive was Dr. W. S Beasley, of Church Hill. He directed aIV his efforts towards 'stopping the flow of blood, and would not . let his patient talk or let him, be excited in any way if it could; be prevented.- A little- later Barnett was taken to his home,' on. Plea sant street, Avhich was" near. by. -let later it was decided to be best to take him to the Virginia Hospital. This was done and there Dr. William 11. Parker, the family physician., was called to see him. . RHODES' SURRENDERS HIMSELF.; No one attempted to detain Rhodes after the shooting. He- went on about his business. One of the first to learn of the affair was: Policeman. Zimmer, who was on his way to the Firet Station to report for'duty at 1 o'clock. The police man went a.t once to look for Rhodes. The two men- soon met and Rhodes sur renJered himself. :He was taken, to the station-house and 'put in a cell. A. Dis patch writer was the first to see him after he reached tho police station. Rhodes is of about medium height and says he is 25 years of age. He has V'aandy"" hair^ aridblue eyes/ He . was. very^much affected by .what had happened. He de clined to tell the story.: He said he had engaged. Mr. H. M. Smith as . counsel and did not wish to say anytn.ng about the affair until ;he had: been advised by hil .attorney. He did say -that he was sure he was justified in what.^he had done and that anyother man m his pla.ee would have done the. same thing. . ! .Rhodes "was a member, of Companj -H. Fourth Virginia Regiment, during : the Spanish-American war. Three days after his return from the^war-thaKis, April 12tli oMast i-ear-he married Miss Vir ginia Catherine Loving, of Ashland. He j arid his brother married sisters.;. Before the war arid since he had been employed in the lithographing department of the Ha'sker-Marcuse factory. He lexpressed the .hope; that; no one would acquaint his wife with -what,. had happened, -as she was'-not well,; and no one was at home, with her but her sister, who was younger than she was. ~ ' WIFE D33EPLY: GRIEVED. .Rhodes is "a -son ,of .Mr. Henry: C.
