EVERYBODY
Knows the merits of the
BICYCLES
Cannot Uundrstand Why Roberts
Knnnnniisl Superior Forces Should
Appear So Inactive.
I!i,oi:.MioN'ri:i.v, Monday, April 2
General CoIviIIo'm division and French's
cavalry have returned here. Everything
is quiet.
Lonuo.v, April 4. General Colville
and GcriLTn! French have given up the
movement against the Boers east of
Illoetufontein und liave joined the main
arniv.H doubtless Beemed to Lord Roberta
a ruin attempt to send 12,000 of his best
troops into tiie wilderness with n field
transport In the direction at a right angle
with his chosen line of advance. The
Boers have probubly moved elsewhere
and II to the southeast, General Colville
could us easily strike them from Bloein
fontuin us by following them across the
plains.
These inferences still leave the situa
tiou bewildering for the time being. The
enormously superior British forces ap
pear inactive in every part of the war
field, wailing yet, probably for the ac
cumulation uf material for a swift ad
vance on tbe Transvaal. The Lor ' i
commentaries and the public to son e
extent are irritated and confused by the
situation.
Details received from the scenes of
Greun Market Square, Cape Town, Tues
day, when Premier Schreiner en
countered an English demonstration,
show that the Premier, fearing personal
violence, sought refuge in a restaurant.
He was hooted and tried to reach the
Parliament House, protected by the
police. The people shouted "Traitor,"
but lie succeeded in reaching the house.
Finally the people eaug "God Save the
Queen," when be raised his hat, amid
the cheers, and was heard to say
"Beeerve your judgment."
Lord Hoberts did not meet bis wife at
Cape Town. She will proceed to Bloeui
fontein. The permanent bridge at tbe Modder
Kiver Station lias been finished. The
first train passed over it Tuesday.
The British garrison at Springfouteln
was aroused at midnight Monday by the
intimation that the Boers in force were
bout to attack, but not a burgher ap
peared. Victoria AtTcctlouoleljr Welcomed.
NkwYouk, Aprii 4. The Tribune's
Dublin correspondent, describing the
decorations in the city, says: There is
8 continuous line of bunting from the
landlmg place at Kingston to tbe gates
' Phoenix Park. Every bouse on tbe
Kd to Dublin makes a brave show of
ounttn. Stands for spectators have
been erected at many points. Pembroke
Wall is profusely decorated and the
Clyde Road and otlior highways are
decked with red and green inaste and
fotooned with streamers and rosettes.
The decorations of tbe city are as gen
ial as they are brilliant and tasteful.
Bed is the dominant color, rather thsn
Wen, but there Is no lack of genuine
Wall appreciation of tbe Qtieen'e chanc
er and virtues. The inscriptions on the
house fronts are hearty and affectionate,
nd the sincerity of the welcome which
e Queen will receive cannot be ques
tioned, TmxhUoii oU'unrtu Mleo.

all left me. I congratulate the manu
facturers of an honeet medicine." For

PACIFIC STATES TELEPHONE COS.
The Speech at Olytnpia Some Admirers
Disappointed Because He Didn't
Mention Silver.
Olympia, Wash., April 3. William
Jenniug's Bryan addressed a crowd esti
mated at 2500 this morning, from tbe
Thurston County Courthouse steps,
which faces upon Sylvester Park. The
day was a perfect one, as far as the
weather was concerned. The speaker
was very hoaree and looked much fa
tigued.
Before the orator arrived on the plat
form a member of the local fusion com
mittee hung an immense Bluffed Ameri
can eagle over the spot it was intended
Btyan should, occupy. Some one in the
strong shouted, Pin a Bryan badge on
bim." There were evidently Republic
ans in the crowd, for immediately a yell
of remonstrance arose from ma ay
throats. "No, no, a McKinley badge."
"Don't desecrate the bird," etc. Tbe
eagle remained undecorated.
When Dr. Oitrander introduced Bryan
aB "the next president of tbo United
States," a great cheer went up, and an
18-moutbs old babe, in arms, frightened
at the applause, began to roar lustily. A
motherly-looking old lady stepped up to
the youngster and said :
"Poor child, don't cry, he ain't elected
yit."
The babe was comforted and stopped
crying, and the crowd standing around
laughed and applauded.
Those adherentB of Bryan left over
from tbe 189G campaign, who bad not
read bis eet speech as delivered at other
places in the etate, were surprised and
chagrined that he did not touch upon
the silver question, for in the out-of-town
precincts they are still prepared to light
it out this fall on that issue. Immediate
ly after tbo close of tbe speech, wbicb
lasted one hour, Colonel Bryan and his
party took a special steamer for Tacoma.
