ENUHD IHFlIlIIIEUEFOFlim’S lOPS London Literally Went Mad with Joy and AH Business is Suspended-General Buller Reports that the Country Soutl^ of Ladysmith is Cleared of Boers—Coles- berg Evacuated by Boers—Garrison at Mafeking Repulse Boer Assaults. [By The Asso dated Press.] LONDON, Match 1—0:52 a. m.—The war office has received the following dispatch from General Buller: “Lyttleton’s headquarters, March 9:05, moruing.—Geueral Dnudonald, with the Natal Carhlneers and a com posite regiment entered Ladysmith last night. The coimtry between mo and Ladysmith is reported to be clear of the enemy. I am now moving on NoltJiorpe.” COUNTRY SOUTH OP LADY SMITH B*REB OP BOERiS. LONDON, \March 1, C:55 p. m.—Gen eral Buller wires from- Neltborpe to day that he has j|ugt retmmed from La dysmith and that the whole country south of that place is cleared of Boers. S^JGLAND WILD WITH JOYL LONDON, March 1.—When'the news of the relief of Ladysmith became gen- Gl^'ERAL SIB BXDVEnS BHIX.EB. orally known, London, literally went mad with joy, and throughout Eng land the Scenes witnessed have no p ar allel In the memories of this genera tion. The pent-up jubilation at the relief of Kimberley and the defeat of Cronjc could no longer be controlled, and with to-day's crowning triumph the national trait of self restraint thrown to the winds. This storm jubilation centered around the Man sion house, and by noon thousands of persons blocked the approaches to tho grim building. It -was a dense, black mass, composed chiefly of business men, the majority of them carrying little union jacks. The only Avay to get past the Man sion house was by mounting busses, which soon began to resemble chariots in a triumphal pageant. Stock brokers, bankers, clerks and woi’kmen clamb ered on top, and as tho busses lum bered past the historic building, stood up, waving flogs, hats, handkerchiefs, and calling for cheers for Buller and Roberts. The procession became con tinuous, yet tho crowd never tired of cheering every time the name of White, Buller and Roberts was mentioned. The strain of IIS days which kept tho nation In terrible anxiety has been moved. All thougllt of business was forgotten. Nothing could bo done tho stock oxchango except to sing \God Save tho Queen,’’ ami clioor. The stores put up aliuttoi's null gave the omployoos n holiday, The lord mayor ordered holiday for the city fjclioolo, 'lUo lat ter fliittworcU tho domamls of the crowd speech, in which he said: “This news makes our hearts leap for joy. We are now satisfied that the sacrifice of blood and treasure was not in vain.” Briefly, from one eiul of the metrop olis to the other, joy reigneth supreme and bunting Is flying everywhere. The aftornocu newspapers voice the exultation of tho nation. The Globe “The night is past. Since Havelock and Outram fought their way. Inch by Inch, through, the crooked streets and alleys of Lucknow, no such thrill of excitement has gone through the na tion. The credit for our success rests with Lord Roberts, as fully ns he himself had ridden into Ladysmitb. The sufferings and privations are over, and tlio empire tenders a tribute of gratitude and admiration to' General White and his immortal garrison.” . The Pall Mall Gazette believes i t Im possible-to forecast the rtmult of the relief of Ladyqmith on the duration of the wav \which may yet culminate in a protracted struggle before Pretoria.” The queen has telegimphed congrat ulations to Generals Buller and White, The Prince o f Wales haa telegraphed congratulations to Buller. What the next move will ibe remains a conundrum. Gen. Buller may I'ca- sonably be expected to be in Ladysmith with the bulk of his forces by to-night Whethei*, like Lord Rabei'ts a t Kimber ley, he will ibe able to turn the tables on the reU’eabing Boers, rimains to !bo seen. But the opinion here inclines to the belief that no aggressive moivenient can be immediately undertaken by Bul- ler’s and White’s forces; hence Rob erts is likely to soon ‘have to face an entemy strengthened by lai’gc reinforce ments from -all sides. It is reported in London,\ tbut the news is unconlflrmed, that Gen, French has already reached iBloemfomtein, w:hich is not improbable, as the Boers are scarcely expected to make a stanW BOERS EVACUATE COLBSPBRG..

A VICTORY FOR REPUBLICANS— HERCULEAN EFFORTS TO GET OUT A FULL ATTENDANCE OF REPRESENTATIVES — SIX MEN BROUGHT FROM BEDS OF SICK NESS. WASHINGTON. Peb. 28.—The bat tle royal over the Porto* Rican tariff hill ended in the House to-day in a eping victory for the Repxjblicans. The bill, amended as agreed upon at the conferenc* of Republicans^xn Mon day night so as .to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 per cent, of the Amei’ican tariff and limiting its life to two years, was passed by a vote of 172 years to 161 nays. Herculean efforts had been made to get out the full vote and this led to some remarkable incidents. Six men were brought from beds of sick ness, two of them from hospitals. Mr. Browiiilow, of Teixnesseo, was brought in a cari'iagc, accompanied by his wife and physician. He sat bundled up near the entrance until his vote w'as given and then withdrew. It was felt th a t the strain would be severe ,on him, but when Mr. Tawncy, tho Repub lican whip, urged that the bill might be lost by this one vote, Mr. Browin- low said: “I would rather lose my life than see this hill defeated. Mr. Tawney and three assistants were out in eax’- rlages until midnight last night ac* counting for every vote, and Mr. Un derwood, the Democratic whip, was similarly exerting every means to get is vote brought from sick beds. There was great excitement throughout the roll calls, which were followed with eager interest by thousands of . spectators, who packed the galleiles to suffoca- tiontion. Mr. Payne offered the last committee amendment to change the title of the bill to-..rea-a, “An act temporarily rais ing x-eveaue.for the^jsland o f P o r t o Rico^awl for other purposes; • TJ x 4 committee amendments were then moved to recommit the bill to the committee oh ways and lueans. The motion, to recommit was lost-=- 162 to 172. The volte on the final passage o | the bill was 172 to 161. The announcement was greeted with uproarious applause. Nom inations Sent to Senate.
