Chicago ministers adopted reso-

Bible readings into the public
schools. Addresses were made by
Rev. j. T. Withrow, Rev. n. HI.
Axtell, and Rev. Myron w. Haynes.
They represented respectively the
Presbyterian, the Methodist and
Baptist denominations. They
agreed that the movement was good
on the ground that 1t was better to
have one verse read in the schools
than none at all. They did not
think the Bible UNCONVENTIONAL,
but held it was entitled to a place
in the schools as part Of the liter
allure of the race.

AFFAIRS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
British Supremacy May Receive a Hard
Blow From Matabeles and Burghers.

DlOW from MaIaDeleS ana burgherS'
CAPETowN, April 81. Copy
right 1896 by Associated Press.l-
Capt. Napier, with force Of 200
men, left Buluwayo yesterday
morning on a reconnoitering expe-
dition. The Matabeles, it was then
believed, had moved southwark,
intending to intercept the relief
corps advancing from Mafeking,
but the scouting party found them
in great force five miles northeast
OF Buluwsyo. This cast quite
gloom over Buluwayo, as it was be-
lieved that the extensive works Of
defense, laagers, forts, dynamite
mines, etc, around ,Buluwayo had
convinced the Matabeles that the
place was impregnable and they
had retired.
Officials OF the British Chartered
company are doing everything
possible under the circumstances
and are hurrying forward supplies,
but the situation grows darker
every day in spite Of the very ef-
fective means taken to defend
Buluwayo.
Fully 200 persons have been
killed by Matabeles since the up
rising began and men Of experience
in South African warfare claim to
see in the tactics of the natives the
guiding hand of leaders Of the
Trsnsvasl burghers. They insist
that the Beers ar earning for
struggle with the British for the
mastery in South Africa, and are
actively encouraged and assisted by
Germany.
The Beers have mustered about
1,500 men and several cannon, &C.
cording to report, at convenient
distance from Mafeking, and it is
believed they are more than will
ing to make common cause with
the Matabeles and strike blow at
British supremacy.
