Tuesday afternoon the Union Jack.

presidency at Bloemfontein amidst the
acclamations OF the commander-in-
chiefs Of the battaliuns, in which the
Orange Free state burghers appear to
have Joined with remarkable hearth
ness. Opposition to entry OF the troops
into the capital was Insignificant. The
Boer troops were occupying a few high
places on the hills about the place, but
few shells drove them out at / o clock
in the morning. Newspaper cores
pondents entering the town found Mr.
Frazer and others and guided them to
where Lord Roberts stood on top OF a
hill. As spokesman, Frazer asked pro-
lection OF life and property and sur
rendered the keys. Roberts, accom-
panied by his staff rode at the head OF
u cavalCade a mile long to the presi-
dcncy, receiving AN ovation through
out the route, eliminating In remark
able demonstration at the market
square. Reaching the government
buildings Roberts took possession Of
the city In the name OF the queen, and
then repaired to the presidency, where
the ceremony OF hosting the Union
Jack ended forever according to uni
versal opinion here, the Boer govern
mcnt OF the Free State. During the
progress through the town, Roberts or
dered instant replacement OF the goods
being looted from the artillery barracks
by kaliirs.
| President Stcyn fled to kroonstadt
without replying to Roberts demand
for his surrender, and the commander
in-chief remarked afterwards, during
conversation while breakfasting at the
farm OF President Steyn's brother, that
the x-president had become nonen'
tity. The British troops, with the eX'
ception of those necessary to police the

IN BLOEMFONTEIN.
The Victorious British Entered the
Free State Capital Tuesday.
BO.lrs Made No Resistance, President steyn
and the Soldiers Having Fled North
ward-Roberts Received
an Ovation.

London, March 15.-The first half of
the campaign is over. Lord Roberts
arrived at Modder river on February
9. He entered BIoemfontein on March
13. Thus, in little over a month, he
aas effected the relief of Kimberley
and Ladysmith, the capture of Gen.
Cronje's forces and the hosting of
the flag in the capitol of the Free
State. All this has been accomplished
with comparatively trifing losses. It
is small wonder that he is the hero
of the hour in England. All the
newspapers eulogize him and con-
graduate the country. They talk of
the Free State as having passed out
of existence, as being now one OF the
shadows of history.
It is not doubted that there may yet
be heavy fighting, but the genius OF
Lord Roberts is looked to for VIC
tory over all difficulties. His grim ref
erence to the slate President Steyn
is understood to show that there shall
be no ambiguity as to the position
assumed toward the republics. The
fact that Mr.. Fraser, late chairman
of the Free State raad and the leader
of the opposition to Mr.. Steyn, came
with the deputation to surrender the
keys, is regarded as extremely signif1-
cant of considerable difference of
opinion among the Free Staters re-
garding the war.
The Surrender of BIOemfOntein.
London, March 15.-A dispatch to
the Daily Chronicle from Bloemfon-
TEN, dated Tuesday evening, March
10, says: ''Bloemfontein surrendered
at ten to-day. It was occupied at
noon. President Steyn, with a ma
jority of the fighting burghers, has
fled northward. Gen. French was
within five miles of the place at five
o'clock Monday afternoon. He sent
summons into the town, threatening
to lombard unless it surrendered by
four a. m. Tuesday. The flag was
hoisted Tuesday morning and depu-
tation of the town council with the
mayor came out to meet Lord Roberts
at Spitz kop, five miles south of the
town, making a formal surrender of
the place. Lord Roberts made a state
entry at noon. He received a ire
mendous ovation. After visiting the
public buildings he went to the Off
ciaI residence of the president, fol-
lowed by cheering crowd, who waved
the British flag and sang the British
national anthem. They were in a
condition of frenzied excitement"

sToRMED THE JAIL.
An Infuriated Mob Demands a Negro Who
Is Said to Have Assaulted 3
Little Girl.

Joplin, Mo-, March ia nine-year-
old girl was assaulted by negro
Saturday evening, while returning
home from the drug store with med
icine for her sick father. Her parents
offered a reward of $500 for the arrest
of the negro. Yesterday afternoon
five negroes were arrested on sus-
picion, four in Joplin and one in
Oronogo. Three of the suspects were
turned loose, but one is held in the
Joplin Jail and the one arrested in
Oronogo. A bowling mob of 1000
enraged and excited men surrounded
the city Jail until ten o'clock last
night, demanding the negro who as
saulted the little girl. The mob broke
the jail office windows and many of
them crowded into the office. Dur
ing the excitement the lights were
turned down and the negro was SNUG
gled out through side door by the
police and spirited away and then the
leaders of the mob were permitted to
search the Jail. Then the cry of ''On
to Carthage" arose and many of the
disappointed mob started to Carthage
to get the other negro in Jail there
suspected of the same crime.

TO TRY AGAIN FOR PEACE.
Kruger VIII Take Another Step for Inter-
vention, Though Through Some Agency
Besides the United States.

Washington, March 15.-The an
swer of Lord Salisbury to the message
from Presidents Kruger and Steyn,
which was transmitted through our
government, was received at late
hour last night by Secretary Hay,
through Mr.. White, our charge at
London. AS indicated in the London
dispatches, the answer was a declina-
ton of the appeal. 1t has been trans
mitted to Adelbert Hay, United States
consul at Pretoria, who will submit it
to the two presidents.
This marks the end of the first over
lures towards peace. Tt is believed
here, however, that another effort will
soon be made by the Beers to attain
peace, though recourse may be had to
some other agency than the United
States. The president has decided that
it is not proper at this time to make
public the text of the communications
which have passed between Pretoria,
London and Washington, relative to
the peace negotiations.

WHY AMERICANS WIN.
When They Climb Ladder They
Don't Require Anyone to

One of the many reasons why American
manufacturers are so successful competing
in foreign markets is to be found in the
following episode, which occurred recently:
An American manufacturer of steam spe-
cialties was visiting an English firm which.
made similar goods. A certain article which
both firms made was under discussion.
What is your price on this thing? asked
the American.
the Englishman. What does it cost your
'sIll deliver at your door all you want at
seven dollars apiece, said the American.
How in the world do you do it?"

lean. Look out of that window and across
the street. See that man painting sign!''
