The ball of alumni commissioned officers of the University of California at Golden Gate Hall last evening was a success in every detail. Everything was arranged with the utmost consideration for the many guests and due appreciation was’ shown by those present. Many Presidio officers were among the dancers., As the affair was military the decorations were the association were also in electric lights. Other electrical effects were employed, n- cluding the figure of a large bear and an electric fountain. The grand march was led by Major Dol- man and Miss Edith Perry. A delightful feature of the cotillon was a “military extra,” with martial music, during which flags were unfurled from the platform. Electric lights were put out and effective calcium lights were sub- stituted. The scene was patriotic and impressive., Major Dolman was floor man- ager and generally in charge of the ar- rangements. He was assisted by Colonel Bauer, Captain Millar, Colonel C. H. Mur- phy and Lieutenants’McGee, Hatch and Schilling. The patronesses included Mrs. Benjamin I. Wheeler, Mrs. Irving String- ham, Mrs. A. O. Leuschner, Mrs. F. Denicke and Mrs. W‘aner E. Magee. * . University of California night was the occasion of the large banquet at the Uni- versity Club last evening, it being the first of the annual dinners arranged in com- memoration of the university and its able men.

British Forces Suffer Twelve Defeats of Which No Mention Is Made in Lord Kitchener’s Reports. —_——— LONDON, Jan. 25.—The Daily News at- taches importance to a dispatch from its Hague correspondent stating that private South African dispatches have reached military circles at The Hague to the ef- fect that important developments are ex- pected in Cape Colony. They add that the power of the Boers in the Colony is daily increasing and the colonists are Jjoining the Boer ranks in steadily increas- ing numbers. The rebellion is constantly spreading. The executions of Commandants Lotter and Scheepers have considerably excited the loyalists and are causing even some of the oldest of them to join the Boers, whose position is more favorable than at any time since the commencement of hostilities. The British forces suffered twelve de- feats from September to November, of | which no mention was made in Kitch- ener’'s dispatches. Telegrams from impartial correspond- ents in South Africa have also been re- ceived at The Hague describing the pros- pects of Boer resistance as encouraging; indeed, projects for the government of independent South Africa are under con- sideration by the Boer leaders. The Daily News, commenting on the foregoing, says its foreign correspondent has hitherto furnished most accurate in- formation, but there is little doubt the statements have been magnified by his informants. J. Baifour, the Government leader, made a comprehensive denial in the House of Commons yesterday of stories of negotiations of peace with South Africa. He declared that since the nego- tiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha no proposals having in view the termination of the war had been received from any one professing to have the authority of the Boer leaders to make proposals and that no discussions looking to peace were now proceeding. CONGRESSMEN DEBATE ON PENSION MEASURES Widow of Late Rear Admiral Philip to Receive a Monthly Sum. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The House to- day passed the urgent deficiency appro- | priation bill and devoted the remainder cf the session to private pension legisla- tion. It then adjourned until Monday. The Republicans forced a record vote on the amendment to the deficiency bill 1o appropriate $500.000 for the “‘protection and shelter” of American soldiers in the Prilippines and sixteen Democrats voted | for it. ‘Among the bills passed was one grant- ing a pension of 350 a month to the widow of the latd Rear Admiral Philip. ROBBERS TAKE GEMS FROM HELPLESS WOMAN Mysterious Criminal Affair Occurs in the Room of a House in Wichita. WICHITA, Kan., Jan. 24.—Mrs. Ange- lina Anderson was bound and gagged here to-day in her room and robbed of $1000 worth of diamonds. It was learned to- night that she was also robbed of $1500 in money. She came here a few months ago and married an 13-year-old livery stable boy who was taking care of her horse. She is now sending him to a local college. The woman is said to be the daughter of poor parents at Racine, Wis., and the source of what appears to be a princely income is bothering the officers.

Epecial Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—In his ef- forts to obtain retirement and enter Southern politics, Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, the Merrimac hero, ha¥ encountered a serious obstable. The naval retiring board which examined him yes- terday has reported to Secretary Long that he is fit for service and should be re- tained on active duty. The report of the board is a sad blow to Captain Hobson. While he had refused to publicly discuss his political aspira- tions, his friends understood that he was disposed to enter politics the moment he was relleved from active duty in the navy. He had even gone so far, it is stated, as to consider the idea of resigning. It Is not believed, however, that he will take action. The probability is that he will indorse the movement begun among his friends to have Congress pass a bill per- mitting his retirement on full pay. Captain Hobson’s efforts to ret!n meet with the unqualified approval of the Navy Department. His position in the service is rather anomalous and no one appre- clates this fact more than Captain Hob- son.

GHINA WANTS NEW WISDOM The Dowager Empress May Employ Foreign Counselors. PEKING, Jan. 24—The Dowager Em- press and her councllors are seriously discussing the engagement of foreign ad- visers to reorganize the Government. Yuan Shi Kai, Viceroy of Pechill, is the inspiration of the movement. He will return to Pao Ting Fu to-morrow, hav- ing devoted several days to impressing upon the court the importance of real re- forms and urging the adoption of foreign methods as being the only practical meas- ures.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. .W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—James Al- man, who died in Washington yesterday, according to his own story, refused a bribe of $100,000 to put poison in cream which he served to President Lincoln. Al- man in 1865 kept a dairy on a farm where the Bureau of Printing and Engraving now stands, about a half-mile south of the White House. He supplied cream and milk to the White House and to Secretary Stanton. In a?d‘ cltrln:rvleviv gonxs flanms 0 Alman s: at early in April, 25 e was ariving his milk wagon e the White House. two men stopped him and offered him $100,000 to put poison in the cream he was taking to the President. In this interview Alman said: “One morning in the early part of April —not two weeks before the President was assassinated—I was driving along in my wagon when two men stopped me, and one of them asked if I did not want to make $100,000 easy and quick. I scarcely knew what to say, but I told them that I uessed I did if it could be done on the evel. He then asked me if I could kee) a secret and I told him I thought I could. Then he got right close up to me, leaning over the side of the wagon and said: ‘Well, man, here’s $100,000 in good money. ery cent of it is yours if you will take this little box of powder and put 1t in the cream you serve to President Lin- coln this morning. Pour out the cream in a measure and put this powder in it. No- body will ever suspect anything and the $100,000 is yours.” “He showed' me & tremendous big roll of money, and it looked mighty nice, but I didn’t want any of that kind. I told the men I wanted and needed money, but I could have nothing to do with such busi- ness if they really meant what they said. They tried to argue the matter. with me, but I wouldn’t listen to them and drove away while they cursed me. It is not true that they assaulted me either then or aft- erward. At the time I could not believe the men were in earnest, but thought they ere trylng to Play an carly morning joke on me, I kept the transaction to myself, altlw.nlt confess that it worried me not a THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy- ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown.
