occasion was the meeting convened by
the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John

Of business men in the city proper in
tho South African policy of the govern

Stock and Wool Exchanges, and of the
great banking and underwriting firms,
formed professions in front of their
various offices, and marched to the
Guild Hall singing the national airs,
and brandishing flags, accommodating
masses of recuits at every turn. The
Guild Hall was packed with people,
The Lord Mayor and sheriifs were

OUTLYING POSTS CUT OFF
Difficult to Obtain Accurate News From
the Seat of War in South Africa.
MANY STORIES ABOUT FIGHTING
Are Scarcely Published Before
They Are Denied.
KIMBERLEY IS PROBABLY SURROUNDED

London, Eng. Oct. 16.-The Cape
Town correspondent of the Morning
Leader, telegraphing last night, said !:
'It is reported that fighting began at
Kimberley this morning. The railway
has been cut at Belmont.
A special dispatch, filed at Dundee,
Natal, yesterday afternoon, reports
that Commandant Vilieen's force has
left Newcastle fol Dannhausor, where
the Transvaal flag has been hoisted
over the Town Hall.
The gradual cutting off of outlying
points, at the scene of hostilities in
South Africa, from telegraphic COM
munication has reduced the accurate
news obtainable to minimum Thus
far, however, no reliable information
has been received of any actual fight
ing outside the affair at Kraaipan, and
occasional exchanges of shots at vari-
Gus outposts. There Is no lack of cir
cumstantiai stories regarding fighting
at various points, but these are scarcely
published before they are denied.
KIMBERLEY is ISOLATED.
The only salient facts in this morn
ing's kilograms are that the Boers have
advanced beyond Newcastle, and formed
| a laager near Dannhausar, about II
miles north of Dundee, land that Kim
berry is isolated and probably invested.
Kimberley has thus become the imne-
diate centre of interest. The last
message from Kimberley, prior to the
cutting of the telegraph and railway by
the Beers, said: ''All the troops al
Kimberley are WE'LL" As there are
5000 trpops there, there is little anxiety
for the safety of the town, especially
as the Boer forces is said to be only
of about the same strength. Many
stories of brisk fighting at that point
are in circulation, but, although the
forces are likely to have come into CON
ract. all alleged details must be regarded
as premature and speculative, especially
if the report be true that the Orange
Free State troops are now in complete
possession of the railway from Kimber
ley TO Orange River, 70 miles away. L
is probable that Mafeking and Kimber
ley will BIZ forced to undergo a lonl
and dreary investment before the Brit
ish are in a position to send relieving
column.

such conferences, especially as to
the appropriation bill.
Mr.. Winkler's resolution to
provide for = committee to pre-
pare amendments to the dispen.
sary law was killed.
The house and senate could not
agree on the bill in reference to
bonding members of the board of
control. The senate wanted the
premiums paid out of the dispen-
sary profits, the argument being
that the salaries of the board were
too small to require them to pay
the premiums. The house adopt.
ed an amendment requiring them
to pay the premiums out Of their
own pockets. The bill was re-
ferred to a committee of confer.
ence which could not agree. so
the bill was killed.
A similar fate befell Senator
Barnwell's bill to bond constables.
1t was only introduced yesterday
and was tackled on a bill having
no reference to the constabulary.

PRETTY AND PROS
Porous LAUREL.

Within the last few years the growth of
suburban towns has been a feat are Of orr
national life. This is Il most wholesome
development and more advantageous to
the country ut large than the concentra
ton of an undue portion of the population
in the large cities. The movement was
started by the more LIBERAL policy of the
steam railroads in the matter of commu
tation rates and by the constant extension
of electric railways from the cities into
the surrounding country. We have fire.

Railroad in Mont gomcrv county. by which
a once tEinly settled country has been
transformed into a number of prosperous
has taken place along the Washington
Branch Railroad, between Baltimore and
Washin gton, especially on that portion of
the road nearest to Washington. There
is Il decided disposition among the en-
ploycs of the federal government to own
their homes in the country, which they
can reach in the evening in an incredibly
short time. Just about half way between
the two cites is the town of Laurel, which
has now become one of the most enter
prising and prosperous of the Maryland
towns. 1t has been blessed with good
and economical government, and there is
in the town spirit of improvement which
is constantly making the place more and
more attractive. The location is favor
able, being within half hour of the two
great cities. 1t is most healthy town.
with good streets. sidewalks and lights
and with many other of the advantages of
a city combined with the cheap living and
the social and other attractions of rural life
There is an abundance of schools and
churches, besides easy and cheap access
to the schools of the two cities. In his
recent message Mayor Edward Phelps
calls attention to the urgent necessity for
waterworks and shows how they may be

for 100000. This sum, he thinks, will be
sufficient to buy the present electric light
plant and to construct the waterworks.
both of which, he thinks, should be owned
by the town. The amount now paid for
street lighting would pay the interest on
| the whole bond issue, and the water rents
charged would probably, after paying the
cost of operation, provide a sinking fund
| for the redemption of the bonds at ma
turity. The Mayor proposes that the cleo
| trio light steam engine should be used
during the day for pumping. In urging
the Importance of waterworks Mayor
Phelps is entirely right. rs a good water
supply is essential to the growth and
prosperity of the town. People who have
been accustomed to their bath rooms and
abundant water in their homes will lie
slow to locate in Il town where this lux
ury is not to be had. In his review Of the
past year the Mayor says that five miles
of brick sidewalks have been laid, a high
school building erected, streets graded

OOKON THEFARM.

The first spring bulletin of the Depart
ment of A Agriculture does not make very
good showing for the farms of Maryland
The past winter was an unusual one, with
unprecedented cold and a blizzard in Feb
ruary, and the spring has been very back
ward. Even now, at the middle of April,
the weather is very uncertain. As Il CON
sequence, many of the crops which ought
by this time to be fairly well advanced,
are way behind, and very little spring
Planting has vet been done. Fruit, out
side of peaches, is expected to show up
pretty well, and large crop of apples is
confidently predicted.
All this, however. does not mean that
the MARYLAND farmer is going to lose
money by his years operations 4 late
season does not necessarily mean an un-
profitable season. The conditions that
prevail in Maryland prevail elsewhere
throughout the country, and an abundant
harvest may yet come, even if it comes be-
hind schedule time. Maryland farmers
have been improving their methods in re-
cent years, and are getting fine results
from their work. They expect such con
ditions as now exist, and are not discour-
aged by them. They remain serene and
happy, confident that when the year winds
up it will make a good shown. for the

SPEAKER REEDS RETIRE.
MENT.

1t is officially announced that
Speaker Reed VIII at an early day re-
tire from Congress and engage in bust
ness in New York. THIS is a serious
matter because it will have an impor-
tant bearing upon the course of legis-
lation and politics for the next few
years. Mr. Reed, as is we'll known, is
not in sympathy with the radicalism of
the present administration. He fought
against expansion nobly and bravely
but the followers of Hanna were too
strong for him, and, like sensible
man, he has decided to retire to private
life and let ''those who have sown to
the wind, reap the whirlwind.''
1t IS hard to predict at this time
who will be Mr.. Reeds successor, but
the contest will probably narrow down
to fight between Mr.. Sherman. OF
New y DIRK, and Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois
