Lord Roberts always has with him a body of wireless telegraphers, by which means , he keeps In constant communication with the various units of his enormous army. Several messages have been sent over CO miles. The reports of naval experiments with this device are also satisfactory- The British battleship Hannibal, while under way. clearly read the battleship Jupiter's message at 32 miles distance. JVothlns: to Indicate Tliat He Intends Soon to Give Up the Premiership or Mnnngc'inent of His Party. LONDON, June 2. When London Is not talking of peace in Soutn .Africa, and the manner of its accomplishment, the topic of the da is the dissolution of Parlia ment and the possible retirement of Lord Salisbury. Sir Howard Vincent writes to . the Times declaring that the Premier's withdrawal from the neCd of activity would be nothing less than a calamity for the universe. The Spectator surmises that Lord Salisbury will give up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contenting himself with being Premier only, and suggests that Mr. Balfour should be given his uncle's portfolio and be made a peer, -while Mr. Chamber.ain should succeed the Mar quis of Lansdowne as Secretary of State for War and become government leader in the House of Commons, these hypothet ical changes to come after the dissolu tion, which the Spectator recommends should occur this year, and insists must bo followed by a thorough reconstruction of the Cabinet. Other weeklies and dallies also refer to the possibility of Lord Salis bury's retirement. Inquiries made by the Associated Press reveal the fact that there is not the bUghtest ground for believing that Lord Sa.isbury contemplates retiring, either from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or tho leadership of the party. He has never mentioned such a contingency, and his spirits are equally good, even to the point which for him Is unusual Jocularity, while his Interest In home and foreign affairs is keener than ever. So It is safe to say that if the Conservatives .are sucessful at the forthcoming general election. Lord Salisbury- will once more pilot the fortunes of the war and the party. The Outlook keen'.y diagnosed the Pre mier's recent remarkable speeches, where by he has gained the reputation of think ing aloud, when it describes Mm. as "look ing with a half-amused, half-pltlful gaze on the hurly-burly." His utterances this week were saved from being a mere col lerilon of nlatltudes bv the frank dec laration that "not a shred of independ-"' ence" could be left td the Boer Republics. This was intended to be taken as an an swer to any peace-seeking messages that President Kruger might be contemplat ing. A decision anent the date of dissolu tion Is still In the air. Mr. Chamberlain favors an early appeal to the country, but Lord Salisbury will not formally dis cuss the matter until Lord Roberts so shapes the military aspect of South Af rica that there cannot be a shadow of doubt as to the completeness of the Brit ish victory. Popular opinion has proclaimed the ad vent of -victory, and whatever happens henceforth in South Africa the Interest of the British public will be little, unless the event is endorsed by a peculiarly per sonal element. The nation has made up Its mind that the war Is over, trjat the prestige of the British arms Is restored, that President Kruger is vanquished, that prceless territory has been annexed, that humanity has not been staggered, and that, led by that little "Sir Galahad," "Bobs," Great Britain's army has fulfilled the mest optimistic expectations It is scarcely surprising, in view of the bewildering rapidity of Lord Roberts' progress during the past week, that the anxiety attendant on the initial reverses of the war is completely forgotten In the jubilation ot today, or that the troubles still ahead of the army in South Africa scarcely receive a passing thought. Nev ertheless, among the few more irious mlnded, who hive intimate knowledge of the Boers and the plans of the War Of tir fhere exist crave apprehensions of developments In the near future. In the systematic retreat of the Boers they see the possibility of long-drawn-out guerrilla fighting, treks into Rhodesia. Internal dis organization in the Transvaal due to the bandits, and a thousand and one lawless elements that evolve themselves from a heterogeneous army after It ceases to be come an organized body. Some of the acute authorities on South African matters say Major-General Fred erick Carrington's work in Rhodesia may only begin when Lord Roberts nmsnes. Such speculation, however, can only be left for time to prove, and this war, so far. has abounded in surprises which have completely upset the surmises of those best fitted to express opinions. Probably the most reasonable forecast of Immediate developments in the Trans vaal can be gained by reviewing the events In the Free State, or Orange River Colony. There, though the country is for mally annexed and is subjected to a win nowing process by a long line of British troops, virile opposition atill exists. The preponderance of numbers is bound to eventually reduce the inhabitants to sub jection, and so it will be probably with the Transvaal, the occupation of Pretoria and Johannesburg being followed by op erations similar to those uninteresting movements now undertaken by Generals Bundle and Brabant, in the Orange River Colony. The fact of the" Duke of Connaught hav ing taken Lord Francis Clinton Hope's Castle Blarney, County Monaghan. for the season, with the option for Ave years, seems to indicate the establishment of a royal residence in Ireland. The Duke of Argyll announces that Invernary Castle, with Its Immense domain. Is for rent, and England Is wondering what American millionaire Is likely to occupy this historic mansion. One of the most remarkable though pothumous exposures of the looseness of English life In nigh places came up this week when Mrs. Brinkworth sued the estate of William Beckett, a former member of Parliament, for continued sup port of herself and her alleged children. Mr. Beckett was head of one of the wealthiest private banking firms In Eng land. It now transpires that Mrs. Brink worth lived as his mistress for man; years, and that the couple amused them selves by buying children, which ther passed off as their own, as Beckett wished to use the children to "bluff" his own family In consenting to the payment of, large sums to his mistress. Mrs. Brink- worth was nonsuited. The executor of the estate sued is Ernest Beckett, son of the man who lived such a double life. He Is also a member of Parliament, and owns one of the finest houses In Piccadilly, where the Prince of Wales is often en tcrtalned. Encouraged by the remarkable success of amateur charitable performances of the past Winter, London society women, wearied of other forms of excitement, propose to appear on a. nruslc-hall stage, which will not only afford themselves en tertainment, but will give the public a chance to review the fashionable gowns which are ordinarily restricted to Ascot or the Sunday park parade. The idea had its inception with a Mayfair modiste, anx ious to display costumes of her making. She met with a hearty response from her fashionable customers. -.. v-! - " - v WON "BY HALT- A POINT INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP GOES TO MICHIGAN. Last Event on the Card Settled the Contest New Western Rec ords Made. CHICAGO. June 2. The Western Inter collegiate athletic championship was won by the University of Michigan track and field team at Ravenswood field today, after the most atubbornly contested meet In the history of the association. , There was only half a point difference between the total scores of Michigan and Chicago when the last event had been decided, with California but 1& points behind Chi cago, and It took the last event, in which athletes of those three Institutions fought for supremacy, to decide the champion ship.

Vote Against It" A The personal status of President Kru ger since he left the capital Is creating some discussion. A representative of the Associated Press learns that Lord Salis bury will consider him to be President of the" South African Republic until Lord Roberts is read' to annex that territory. Hence, wherever President Kruger may be. even if he goes Into Portuguese terri tory, any communications which he might make to the British or other governments looking to a cessation of hostilftles would receive official recognition and be an swered, though It Is safe to say Lord Salisbury would merely refer President Kruger to Lord Roberts. Some such mes sage from "Oora Paul" Is now expected at the foreign office. If the Indicated line of procedure In answering It is carried out it can result in nothing unless Presi dent Kruger Is willing to assist Lord Roberts in persuading the people to lay down their arms. On one thing the British Government Is determined. I. c. President Kruger cannot stay In the Transvaal. In the event of his capture he must be trans ported, not necessarily in durance, but he must be got out of the territory which Lord Salisbury expects will shortly be part of the British Empire. Every effort w'l be made to capture President Kruger. but the government officials are inclined to believe he will manage to get Into Portuguese territory, where the British will be unabie to touch him. One of the most curious features of the closing chapters of the great war is the oblivion into whlrh General Buller has fallen. A few months ago it was Buller who would stem the tide of Boer inva sion; It was Buller who would enter Pre toria on Christmas day. Tct now General Buller Is scarcely mentioned. Generals French. Hamllt6n and others ar all more frequently talked of and cheered than the former Commander-in-Chief, wfio seems to have become a negllgable quantity in the shadow of the Blggarsberg. Words fail to describe the national gratefulness to Lord Roberts. Welling ton was never to England what Roberts Is today In the eyes of the general pub He. A dukedom and the Order of the Garter, at tho Queen's disposal, through the death of the Duke of Argyll, are the least rewards that could be bestowed on h'm. Conscientious military critics occa sionally 1ry to bring In Lord Kitchener's rame, but" their efforts have smalt effect on the popular sentiments. One evidence of Lord Roberts capablll- A NEW DON QUIXOTE. Affairs in America as Viewed by Madrid Opinion. Brooklyn Eagle. It Is of interest to observe that accord ing to the Madrid Imparclal, "it is re ported that President McKlnley will be forced to resign next Fall, and that Gen eral Shatter, the military autocrat who ruled Cuba, will be successor." The Im parclal adds: "It Is known that the two men are enemies, and recently had a pub lic quarrel In the Senate, where President McKlnley was presiding, which was pre vented from becoming a National affair only by the interference of Colonel Bryan, Governor of the Province of Boston. Not all of the American people approve the high-handed rule of McKlnley in the is lands, and a revolution may result if he does not abdicate, as the freedom party is strong and determined, and is gathering arms In large quantities near New York and Florida, to march on Washington, the site of the palace on the Mississippi, from which McKlnley issues his edicts." Surely this comes appropriately under the head, "important if true." El Liberal, moreover, not to be outdone by the political Don Quixote of the Im parclal, Insists that Admiral Dewey "had to undergo the fate of Catiline, and be "banished," not from Rome, it is true, but, what may seem to him worse, from Washington. El Liberal has these sapient remarks on the subject: "It Is not al ways best to be a hero, at least not in the United States, where the people s;cm to rapidly forget the huzzas they lav ished on Admiral Dewey. For sinking a few light wooden hulks, many unprotect ed even by a sheath of Iron, the Ameri cans lauded him as the Naval liero of all history. Within a year they have for gotten, and he is now on a tour of the country, banished from the Capital, where he Is unwelcome. He has been informed that his popularity was dangerous and distasteful to President McKlnley. and he went at once before the people for en dorsement. But his reception has been very cold, and at Pennsylvania, one of the largest of the seacoast cities, the men of the fleet mutinied and refused to fire salutes for the Admiral until several were whipped at the triangle." To "pepper higher" is obviously the cue of El Mateo, a Journalistic bantling, which first saw the light only two or three months ago. The news that there is to be an uprising of armed men In the United States will well be "viewed with alarm" by the War Department when it gets around to El Mateo and Its weighty contents. That Influential Journal adds: "The men now In command seem to real ize the nearness of their danger, and are making desperate attempts to stem the tide of disfavor. General Roosevelt, Gov ernor-General of New York, who received his post In return for his servlcea in the war. has already sent bodies of troops to guard the cnnals near Canada, one of the principal cities, by which the Invaders threaten to descend on Washington. The situation Is very serious, and shows how much opposed the Americans were to the war which was forced upon Spain." Yet a good many swallow the Idea that the Spanish race is almost destitute of the sense of humor. Perhaps it is. But how about its capacity to develop the sense of humor in others? The Don Quixotes of the Madrid press have placed us under obligotions. They have lightened "life's dull round." But where are their Sancho Panzas? Ethelbert Defeated Beraud. , NEW YORK. June 2. Ethelbert easily defeated Jean Beraud In the special race at Gravesend today. He was ridden by Darmy Maher, and was favorite in the bet. ting. The time was 2:0Sl-5 for the mile and a.quarter. His performance of today was good enough to beat that of any horse that was ever saddled In the country. The results were: About six furlongs Blue Devil won.

There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, -heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the !S. vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a.derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain In passing It, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and a book that tells all about It, both sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention , reading this generous offer in this paper.

DR. RAND FOR CORONER. ni Record Daring: .the Past Trro Yearn Will Insure a Victory Xext Monday. With the prestige of faithful perform ance of the duties of Coroner during the past two years. Dr. D. H. Rand ought to be re-elected by an Increased ma jority. The canvass conducted 'by the doctor and his friends has been devoid of all personalities, a circumstance that has Impressed favorably all intelligent and fair-minded citizens. Dr. Rand is a well known physician, a profession that fits him admirably to discharge the important duties of the office of Coroner. The peo ple can be relied upon to reward faithful servants, and the doctor's record during the past two years will Insure his reelection. north wind put the thinly clad university athletes at a disadvantage, yet four West ern intercollegiate records were broken, including one track and three field events. Big Plaw, the Callfornian, who recently in the East on a private trial broke the world's record for the hammer-throw, easily established new Western records for the hammer-throw and shot put. Dvoorak, of Michigan, established a now record in the pole vault, and Bredstecn, without being pressed, clipped five sec onds off the mile-walk record. In the other track events, however, the time was slow. The meet was not without surprises. Hahn, of Wisconsin, who was expected to win the mile run, was run off his feet In the last lap by Baker, of Northwestern, and finished a poor third. Moloney of Chicago, defeated McLean, the crack Michigan hurdler, in the 320-yard hurdles after a hard struggle, and later. In the half-mile. Moloney ran Teetse of Michi gan to a standstill, and finally breasted the tape a winner from Baker of Michi gan, with whom he sprinted for 100 yards.

The lesson to tho3e with enfeebled con-" stltutlons, weak lungs or a tendency to bronchial trouble or consumption, of the vital opportunities that Spring and Sum mer offer them. The best teaching is the teaching that will save" the most lives. And this lesson to those with the slight eat predisposition to consumption will save more lives than any that can be taught. In the Spring and Summer catarrh may be more speedily cured: with Nature help ing the work, the result Is more certain; after the cure the constitution resumes lt3 normal condition more quickly; those so feeble that they should not even expose themselves to the weather during the Win ter may visit the offices, and are helped in the progress of treatment rather than in jured by the exposure to outdoor air. This Is what the opportunity of the Spring end Summer months mcans Indeed, with many of the more serious cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis eases invading the bronchial tubes which convey the air to the lungs, has taken lt3 advance into the tissues of the lungs themselves, has reached the end of the road lined with the mucous membrane upon which it lives and feeds, and finding no new tissues .settled down to feed upon the lung cells with many of these serious caees, treatment during the Spring and Summer months is the only hope. Little if any help can be promised them during the Winter. It Is. then, during the Spring and Sum mer that catarrh m Its earlj stages-, in volving, maybe, the nasal passages and throat and vocal cords and windpipe, may be most speedily cured, and the danger of its extension Into the aeeper part of the J bronchial lubes or lungs averted.

Unfortu nately, the enforcement of the law Is In the hands of a party that In the interest of its National life must wink at viola tions. Fcr this plain evasion of duty the party is not seriously! to be blamed. It must do It or die, and dead parties do not elect Presidents. When the Christian and temperance vot ers of tho Nation reach the- common sense conclusion that prohibition laws can only be enforced by a party created for and pledged to that end, then and not until then will the laws against the sale of intoxicating liquors be honestly en forced. I. H. AMOS. The State of Maine is in power of the Republican party, a party that has con sented Jo the request to place prohibition in the constitution and the statutes of the etate; a party that has answered in the affirmative to every appeal of the Prohibitionists to Ironclad the original 3tatute with a Draconian code of amendments. If, under these circumstances, there is, after more than 50 years of experiment, no efficient public opinion behind the prohib itory law in Maine, is that an argument in favor of prohibition? la It not rather clear proof that statutory prohibition in evitably becomes "free rum" or regula tion In universal violation ot the law? It Is very clear that the practical ex periment of prohibition- In the form of an Ironclad statute for 50 years has not con verted public opinion to support of the law, which has become practically nothing but regulation In violation and contempt of the law. As for the Prohlbltloniets of Maine, let us see how many there "are of them when they stand up to be counted. In 1S9S Powers, for Governor, obtained 54.2G5 votes, against 29,497 cast for Lord, Dem ocrat, and 2335 cast forLadd, the Pro hibitionist candidate: tha't Is, Maine cast about as many votes for a Prohibitionist for Governor In 1KB as did Oregon, whose Prohibition vote that year was 2219.

Is exceptionally well qualified for the posi tion to which he aspires." said a promi nent school man of this city to an Orego nian reporter last evening. "He has al ready satisfactorily filled a similar po sition In Polk County, and is. therefore, thoroughly acquainted with the duties of the office. His record in Polk County led to his call to the princlpalship of the Central School of this city, where he has worked continuously for 12 years. It would seem that his record of stability of purpose and recognized worth ought to recommend Mr. Robinson to his feliow cltlzens. He has never been a nomad, wandering from one school of little note to another: but has done the work he found nearest him. and done it so well that his friends are confident that he will now be called to step up higher."

Senator Spooner has unmasked this false god so effectually that the Populists and tho Democratic politicians will hereafter be asharned to glorify him. The heart warm patriotism of Spooner, in speaking of the action of the American people toward the oppressed Cubans, was just such enthusiasm as the people like, because it proves that the Wisconsin Senator fully appreciates the nobility of our masses as illustrated In the American policy since Cuba has dropped into our hands. He pertinently asked: "When, since the morn ing stars first sang together in the heav ens, has any people done for another peo ple what we have done for Cuba? " Every word of this Is true, and will be appreciated by those who traveled in Cuba when she was under the Spanl3n yoke. No language can fully express the barbarism, the relentless oppression and the grinding taxation which Cuba ha3 suffered under the iron heel of Spain. To day the Cubans are as free from opprra. sion as are the people of Wisconsin. All history may be searched in vain fpr a parallel to the benefits our Nation hn3 conferred upon a people who are not our kinsmen nor of our race: but who were sore sufferers from man's inhumanity, to man. The people love the defense by an American Senator of the grand act ot a country which entered upon an expensive and perilous war solely In the cause of God and humanity.
