Herded into the Salt Lake theatre
yesterday, the Republicans of Salt Lake
ratified a ticket prepared for them by
their bosses, and then, having carried
out the plans that had been carefully
arranged for days. they adjourned as
the afternoon twilight began casting
its shadow over the city. There was
just one little crack in the slate, but
the men who were in the saddle DIDN'T

publishes the following. dispatch from

An official dispatch received at the
Colonial office says: The arlnored train
was destroyed near KTaipan station
while on the way to MafeMng with
guns. This disposes Of the fear that
many women and children were in

AS was expected, no opposition to the

port Of the party organ was enough TO
force the weallings into line, and they
fell over themselves in their anxiety to
pay homage TO the colonel's man.

responsibility for their safety. The war
office, however, fears that the worst has
happened.
Apart from this desaructfom Of the
armoFed train. the most n0tabIe changes
in the position of affairs IS the presence
Of Beers at Marib0go, forty miles south
of Mafeking, which seems to Indicate
that they are endeavoring to get Colo
mel Baden-PowelI between two fires.
The gravity of the Beer advance can
be better estimated when it is realized
that they will thereby cut railway and
teiegrapfic communication to- the north
isOlating several British positions,
which must be speedily relieved.
Despite the optimistic reports Of the
ability of Mafelings to- repeI attack the
greatest anxiety prevails here regard \
ing the SITUATIONS there. as il is known
that the Tetloubtabfe Commanding
CTOnie, who captured the Jameson raid
eTs, has the strongest force yet put into

Cronjefs troops number between 5000

porary Chairman Hammond raped for
order In the meanwhile the delegates
had been filing i'm slowly.
They were amused by music from the
band and by lackadaisical caucusirsg
among themselves during the wait. 1t
was so apparent that the slate would
go through practically as whole, that
the delegates were not particularly in
terested or enthusiastic. The first thing
in order after the meeting had been
opened was a report from the commit
tee on permanent organization and
order of business.
Dolly Reads Report
Chairman John F. Dooly read the re-
port in that loud and melodious tone
for which he is famous. The report
recommended that the temporary
organization be made permanent with
the addition of Dad" Williams for
sergeant For order of bust
ness it was proposed that the report of
the credentials committee come first,
then the resolutions, nominations for
mayor, auditor, recorder, attorney,
treasurer, justice and selection of a
party emblem. 1t was further recon-
mended that all nominations be made
by ballot and that the selection of a
chairman and a secretary of the city
committee be delegated TO the members
of that body. The report was adopted
with great unanimity.
On taking the place of permanent
chairman sMr Hammond spoke most
feelingly of the overwhelming NUM-
ficence of the honor that had been fired
at him. Il desire to state,' he con-
tinued, that 1 am not a parliament
