He Will March Forty Miles and
 Rest Awhile.
NOTHING HEARD FROM FRENCH
Situation at Mafeking is Unchanged, and the Garrison is Greatly De- pressed as There Are No
 Signs of Relief

London, May S. 4:20 a. m.-The Boers are everywhere retiring before the British ex- cept on the Natal frontier, and at Mafe- king, to the inner circle of their defenses, They appear determined not to fight until the Kroonstad hills are reached. Lord Roberts is expected to go another forty or fifty miles and then wait for a time in order to bring up supplies and to repait the railway. There are one or two hints in the dispatches from the front that he may rest for few days at Smaldeel.
 General French's 100000 cavalry have not been mentioned in the official or unofs fical dispatches for four days.
 It is by no means likely that he is idle. and the conjecture is that he is drawing toward Kroonstad or raiding the Ladyr brand district.
 Fifteen thousand Boers are how operat- ing on the borders of the Free State
 The most hopeful advices from Mafeking of April 22, were that the garrison would be barely able to hold out for a montp at that time, as the fever was spread ing.
 According to a dispatch from Mazeru, Basutoland, several thousand Free Staters are north of Ladybrand where they have collected great herds. The district is rich in food for men and horses and the Boers seemed resolved not to move northward, but to be preparing to resist where they are. If they are let alone they will menace the line of communications after the main British army has passed into the Trans@ vaal. Lord Roberts and Lord KitcheneY personally directed the artillery in the Vet river engagement
 Queen Victoria will send signed photo- graph to Colonel Kekwich, the hero of Kimberley.
 Six thouand four hundred and fifty-eight troops are now at sea on their way to South Africa. No others are under orders to go except as recruits to fill up the reg iments at the front.

CAPTURE OF SMALDEEL
Was Part of the Big General Move-
 ment.

Smaldeel, Sunday, May 6.-The move ment that culminated in the capture of Winburg and Smaldee was part of a great movement extending from General Hunter on the west to General Bundle on the eash Lord Roberts admirable strategy resulted in placing everywhere five British to one Boer. Out of what appeared the inextricas be confusion of division and brigades orr der was quickly evoked and the Boers wero compelled to meet Lord Roberts un- der unfavorable conditions. What is moro important is that the British are now able to wait. Their front and strong positions are safe in the knowledge that their flank ing columns will advance and outflank the Boers.
 Yesterday the Boers held really strong position, from which earlier in the cam- paign they could only have been forced by hard fighting. General Hamilton's ay- rival at Winburg, although not directly outfianking the Boers, made their position extremely uncomfortable. General Hut tons movement on the left was even more successful than at first imagined. Forty Boers were killed.
 The march today was shortened. General e-Carews division marched fifty-eight miles in four days
 General Fuckers division Is marching op our left today, and General Maxwell's brigs ade will be able to cross the river before night.
 General Roberts has been very strict in his examination of the farms, with the re- suit of disclosing the fact that nearly every house is a miniature arsenal, Mausers, Mar- tins and abundant ammunition being found. If these had not been discovered the army would be leaving in it's rear ammunition and men on account of danger from the inhabitants
 Reports have been heard this afternoop showing that more culverts and bridges are being destroyed northward.

The anti-American demagogues in con-
gress are overlooking a great opportunity
in not raising up their voices for a pub
lie reception to skin-the-goat Fitzmorris
who is about to be deported under a
clause of the immigration Law in relation
to the landing of foreign criminals. 1t is
strange that Congressman Sulzer and
Lentz aided by Webster Davis have not
yet denounced the administration for re-
fusing a hospitable welcome to the Hon.
S~kin-the-goat. The national democratic
platform, however, will probably contain
a plank c~ensuring the president for his
disregard of the amenities touching the
arrival of the distinguished foreigner.
The skin-the-goat issue will doubtless
outrank h silver issue in the demo-
cratic campaign.

Dawson City Still Shipping Gold Dust
to Seattle.

Seattle. Wash, Jun z.-The gold re.
ceived at the United States assay office
since June l, 1900, amounts in value to over
100000. From Information now at hand
1t is possible to make the certain predic-
ton that the receipts of the office during
the month of July will amount to over
s 100000.
The receipts for June were today in
creased by the deposits of gold brought
down on the steamer Resale, which ar
rived from Skagway on Tuesday evening.
There were 1850 ounces in nuggets and
dust deposited in the assay Office today in
the names of S. persons. The approximate
value of the deposits is $216,00O. The gold
was all direct from Dawson City, and is
part of he cleanup in that immediate
vicinity.
The depositors confirmed previous reports
of an immense cleanup in the Klondike.
The hillside and bench claims are turning
out aver better than had been expected.
and splendid showings are mad on the
creeks. The water was risin in the
streams when these men had left Dawson,
and all conditions were favorable for the
miners.
Adives have been received at the assay
cfioe that about 81. 10000 in gold had been
shipped from Dawson on steamers going
down the river and consigned to the Seattle
office. This gold will arrive on steamers
from St. Michael some time next month.

The nomination of Roosevelt caused a
good many democratic editorial articles
to be thrown into the waste basket.
When the republican convention was
called to order it was given out that
Hanna was against the New Yorker, and
so the democratic organs, big and little,
at once proclaimed the impossibility of
his nomination. It was a Hanna con-
.vention, they said. Hanna was the boss.
Whatever he said went. He represented
the reformers and the patriots would
prove troublesome to the machine. The
STANDARD said something to the effect
that the triumph of the New York gov
|ernor would mark the end of Hanna's
rule, and that was the sentiment of the
democratic press everywhere. Yet 1t

How beautiful is the generosity of the
chiefs of the Anaconda wing of the state
democracy! Never shall it be said Of
them that they took everything in sight
to the exclusion of the rank and file. 1t
is worthy Of comment, however, that
while these gentlemen are lavish in the
distribution Of empty and doubtful hon
ors and dispense them among the low
Hest members Of the faction, they take
particular care to retain for themselves
everything that is worth having. As an
illustration Of their ~magnanimity in the
matter Of the drippings from the sanctu-
airy, the case of Major Maginnis may
be cited. As soon as Spriggs had made
an appointment.to the senate which the
Anaconda chiefs feared was legal, they
straiglhtway selected as a contestant a
man they a studiously ignored for ff-
teen years-the buxom Major Maginnis.
Had there been the ghost Of a show
for the second appointee to be seated the
honor would have zone to John r. Toole
or Mats. or Nolan, or Stiff, or the able
editor of the Standard. Maginnis would
not ave got a smell. 1t was the same
when the Anaconda rump convention Sc
lected six delegates and alternates to
go to Kansas City. As there was well
known to be no chance Of their being
seated unless the committee on creden-
tails at the national convention shall 60
crazy, six delegates and a~lternates were
named who otherwise would never nave
been heard of. But as they are sure to
be turned down and sent home afoot,
twelve obscure persons were chosen
and stuck" for the expenses of the trip
in the place of Messrs. Toole, Mats, No.
Ian, Stiff. O'Leary and the able editor
of the Standard, who, beyond doubt,
would have been selected. with alter
mates no less dllustrious, had there been
any chances for the seating of the rump
delegation. These observations may not
be important, but they are Interesting as
showing the character of the liberality
which the copper faction is trying to
humbug the people with. However, it is
a democratic complaint, and need not
concern people of other parties. The
Kansas City trip is a wild goose chase,
anyhow.

came to pass that Roosevelt was the
unanimous choice of the convention. His
high character made him an ideal candi-
date in the estimation Of republicans and
his nomination showed very plainly that
all the rOtten talk about the subser-
viency of the party to Machine politics
and it's opposition to a pure public man
was simply characteristic democratic
talk. Roosevelt's nomination was the
natural to the republican de-
nland for a spotless man as associate on
the ticket with that splendid American,
William Mckinley. 1t should be the de-
sire of every patriotic citizen to see none
but the best material on presidential
tickets regardless Of the question of pol
itics. No decent republican wants to see

worthy men for standard bearers. Each
party should nominate it's best men.
