Tbe Boers driven out of Leeuw Kop will probably rally at Thabmanchu, where a s Iff fight may be expected. Should the British fall iu this attempt to bring about another I'aardeberg, il must Immensely affect the laager is sues of the war, as it will undoubtedly lead to a persistent repetition of the guerrilla tactics which have been large ly responsible for the penning of Lord Roberts at BloemfouUdn for so many weeki.

GERMAN NEUTreMdTY. Hoaght With Rnllwnjr Coneeatlowt In Turkey. New York, April 26. Rev. George Washburn, president of Roberts col lege, Constantinople, speaking at a dinner of the Brooklyn Congregational Club last night, said: , "Tbe political transitions which have takeu place in Turkey in the last few weeks are the most imiortant that have oocurred in years in the empire. You have probably road of some Ger man railroad oouoessious obtained by the Russian government. Well, there ia a story back of these concessions When tbe war broke out in South Africa, the kaiser weut to England and there was one thing he carried away home with him in reward for keeping his hand out of the affair in Africa It was a concession for all the railways in the western part of Turkey for the Get mans. These concessions gave the Germans the right to construct all the railways in Asia Minor west of a line iu Constantinople to the Persian gulf. ' It now appears that, as Germany mad) a compact with England, so Rusria has made a bargain with Ger many. As Germauy is to construct all the roads in tbe western part , of the empire, so is Russia to construct, all the roads iu the eastern part. These two powers, with the consent of Eng land, are dividing Turkey into spheres of influence, iu the belief that when tbe final partition comes the sphere whioh is under Kutsien control ' Will bnoome Russian. "By mobilising troops upon his bor-1 ders the two powers have compelled the aultau to agree to this. The line j between the two spheres of influence' runs from a little town on the Black sea to the Persian gulf. This is the ar rangement the sultan has been com pelled to accept, and the arrangement that has meant so much politically to Turkey iu the last few weeks." Jar Factory Burned.

B f IRON AND STEEL LOWER. fatal SJarfc Dlttarb Smaltr f lb Trndo Situation. Brsditreet'i says: More rather than lest irregularity- In the trade and price situation Is to be noted this week, part ly in thi result of weather conditions, but psrtly in the case of the iron and steel trade because of the continuance of those efforts In the friction of lower prices which have been such a feature of the iron aud steel trade of late. That tin bails conditions of trade re main on the whole more favorable is, however, evidenced by a number of features. Railroad earnings continue heavy, and the decrease noted in bank' clearings Is chargeable largely to relig ion! and other holiday observances, and to restricted stock speculation. It bsi been a weather market for the cereali md most agricultural products, these advanoing early thii week, but weakening toward the close. Wool ia weak, but there ii rather more inquiry, and now, ai one year ago, relatively highest prices role at points of production. Backward weather condition! have affected the lumber trade demand but in this as in a number of other lines, the advanced prices demanded are cred ited with checking business. The pressure of heavy supplies is re sponsible for the slight weakening iIwwb la the price of rsw sugar this week, while the refined market re mains unchanged. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregated 8,898,945 bush eles, against 2,896,653 bushels lust week. Business failures in the United States fur the week number 161 against 152 last week. Failures in Canada ' for the week number 19, as copmared with 85 last week. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Seattle Market.
