Paardeberg, Orange Free State, Feb.
23.-Gen. Cronje's position is more
hopeless than ever. Our guns dominate
the sloping ascents from the river on
all sides, and by the rush of the Shrop-
shires on Wednesday night up the river
bed the Beers lost 200 yards space in
their cover. Deserters say the British,
fire has been very deadly and affirm
that Gen. Cronje himself is willing. to
surrender, but is oyerborne by the
young Beers from the Transvaal.
There are women and children with
the Boer force. Gen. Roberts proposed
to let them pass out of danger, but this
suggestion. as well as the proffer of
medical aid has been rejected. The
kopje captured by the British last
Wednesday, when so prisoners were
taken. is most important strategical

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Every wheel and
stroke of commerce throughout the
great Southern Pacific system of rail-
ways and steamship lines was stopped
for seven minutes yesterday during the
burial of c. p. Huntington in New
York. At the exact moment when the
clock struck II in New York every
hammer in all the shops ceased clang-
ing, engines paused upon the rails and
steamships f1oated listlessly upon the
water. In Chicago the office remained
closed all the morning and no tickets
were sold or other business transacted
until after the remains of the once
great railroad magnate were laid to
rest. During the short suspension Of
business $4,000 men in all sections Of
the United States remained idle. The
Chicago offices were draped with crepe
that is to remain for thirty days. Chief
attention had been given to the differ
ence of time between San Francisco
and New York in order that the OBJ
servations of respect at each place
might take place at exactly the same
time. Services were held at the First
Presbyterian church at San Francisco
at the same time the funeral was in
progress in New York.
w. G. Nemeyer, general freight and
general passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific. with headquarters in Chi
cago, said that this was the first time
in the history Of American railroads
that there had been a total suspension
of business on any system as mark
of respect to the memory of any man.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 19.-Ho Vow,

The three chief causes of the present
trouble in China, Ho Vow declared to
be missionary work, acquisition Of ter

Vow said he could see no legitimate
reason why one nation should wish to
force it's religion upon another.
