tion ami slow progress of Generals Hart
and Brabant nre relatively unimportant
when compared with the progress of
General French. It is now evident that
Lord Roberts' wishes are not only to de
feat tlm Hours, but to pen them in at
Paardebnru. To this end, 40,000 British
troop? are concentrating in the south
eastern portion of tho Prnnge Free
State and ara operating according to
carefully devised plans, and the delay
may lie due as much to strategy as to
uecemlty.
The success of this important move
ment almost entirely depends upon
General French. If he can swoop down
from tlio North with the rapidity of ex
ecution which he displayed at Kimbor
ley and Puardeburg, be will effect the
tnmc swift, sudden transformation
which followed the cavalry evolution
two mouths ago. According to last nc-
counts, he was pushing on successfully
Every day the IJoers remain at Wepe
ner improves General French's chances
of success. To put a girdle around the
25,000 Hours estimated to be in tho
southeastern part of the Orange Free
State, Lord Roberts has evidently taken
largo chances. Tbe British critics differ
regarding the result, some declaring it
ib impossible for the Boers to escape,
while others reserve their opinion until
more definite nuwB of General French's
progress is received.
i There is u general impression that the
main advance upon Pretoria will bo
taken up without any reconcentrution
at Iilomfoutciu, as witli more than half
thu liritieh army stretched in echelon
acmes thu Orango Free State, such a
change in directions would indefinitely
delay the accomplishment of Lord Rob
erts' main objective.

Myers, of Ohio, responding to u toast at
the banquet of the tiuuflower League of
Kansas, following V. J. Bryan, created
i-viiaiHiuu ujr ma ubimuwDi wit
Bryan did not finish hie speech until
1 o'clock this morning. Mr. Myers drew
a dark picture. The country was fast
racing to destruction, he said, and Mark
Haniia, William McKluley and Great
Britain were driving it. Then, sudden
ly turning toward Mr. Bryan, the
speaker exclaimed:
"Yoi may be elected, sir, by a million
majority, but they will not permit you
to take the presidential chair. Look at
the fate of William Goebel in Kentucky I
Men whose pastime is bribery And in
murder tin amusement. Ohio was
bought In 1600; the country was bought;
it will be bought again in 1000, and
Mnrk IIhuuh's reward for it is a seat In
the United States senate."
The musses of the country would con
tinue to permit tho encroachments on
the classes, concluded Mr. Myers, until

by the ballot. Then tho sword and gun,

Washington, April 25. The friends
of Iluar-Admlral Schley in Washington
ey that he has no desire whatever to
("iter politics, and that all the talk
nbout thu Democtatio leaders attempting
to secure his consent to accept the vice
presidential nomination at Kansas City
will fall. It is doubtful if tho effort will
bo mndo, It 8 not at all likely that a
messenger will bo sent to the admiral
to ask him whether or not lie would
accept the nomination, This baa been
discussed before by the Democratic
leaders. In the event that they desired
to make their ticket Bryan and Schley
Jhis year, they would do so at Kansas
wiv without any consultation whatever
with Admiral Sehloy.
KuU Last Menage,
Naw Vokk, April 25. The state de
triment at Washington has notified
Mm. Hita L. Rule, widow of Dr. Rlcardo
who wai murdered in prison at
Gnanabnco, Cuba, while a captive of the
Spaniards, that tho chair on which he
wrote Ids last message would be for
warded to her.
Tho chair came Into tho possession of
General Fitzhugh Lee soon after the
murder of Dr. Ruiz, which occurred
February 4, lB9fi. General Lee kept it
till he left Havana two years ago,
when he gave it to the British vice-con
sill, Mr. Jerome, who kent it until Gen
cral Lee's return to Havana after the
war. At the request of Mrs. Ruiz he
has forwarded it to Washinctun.
Tho message, which was written on
the hack of this chair by Dr. Ruiz, who
dipped his nails in his own blood, reads:
"Mercedes, mine, Evangeline, Ricardi-
to, good bye. My children of my life. I
give you my blessing. Be obedient to
your mother. Good-bye, Rita of my
soul."
UlirUtlatiN Without a Clirlnt.
New York, April 23. Rev. Jacob
Chamberlain, a missionary to Hindoo
stan, said in an address at the Carnegie
Hall meeting of the Ecumenical con
ference latt night :
"There is a trend in India today
toward the acceptation of our Christi
anity, but without our Christ; that is,
merely accepting the morality taught in
the bible. Ttiis is accounted for by the
fact that many today reject the incarna
tion of Brnhma, and as a natural
sequence it Ib difficult to get them to
accept, the reincarnation of Christ, A
few years ago a prominent Hindoo Baid
in my presence: 'I have read the
Bible myself, have noted its system of
morality, and I Bay unhesitatingly that
I know of nothing at all comparable to
it.' "

Vahimnoton, April 25. The friends
of Rear-Admiral Schley in Washington
say that he lias no desire whatever to
enter politics, and that all the talk
about the Democratic leaders attempting
to secure his cansont to accept the vice
presidential nomination at Kansas City
will fail. It is doubtful if the effort will
be made. It is not at all likely that a
messenger will be sent to the admiral to
ask him whether or not he would accept
thu nomination. This has been die
cussed before the Democratic lenders.
In the ovents that they desired to make
their ticket Bryan and Schley this year,
they would do so at Kansas City, with
out uny consultation whatever with Ad
miral Schley.

London, April 20. The Times has the
following from a special correspondent,
dated Mafeting, Basutoland, April 25:
"I rodo from Jammersburg here,
skirting Wepeuer, and I met General
Brabant's advance guard four miles
south of Wepener. They report three
successful fights Saturday, Sunday and
Tuesdav, with twenty-two casualties.
The siege was raised, and 5000 of the
enemy retired along tho Ladybrand
road within our Bight and unpursued.
Colonel Dalgety's casualties are 33
killed uud 132 wounded."
