New York has come nearer than any
other State in solving the question of
prison labor by employing prisoners
in the production of supplies for the
maintenance of State, county and mu-
nicipal institutions, and for the sup
port of the inmates of the same, thinks
the Philadelphia Press The indus
trial commission in its report on
prison labor urges this plan, which
has worked so successfully in New
York, and which is the only scheme
ever proposed which avoids competi-
ton with free labor and yet keeps the
prisoners from the decentralization OF
ldleness. New York has it's prisons
under one central State management.

ROBERTS PROGRAM
Cannot BE PrOgnOsticated Until
Further Particulars---BOer
Army Intact.

Until the situation in the neighbor-
hood Of Pretoria is enlightened the
officials in London, as we'll as others,
will end difficulty in demonstrating
Lord Roberts immediate program.
1t appears evident that the Boer
commander-in-chief, General Botha,
with all his guns, withdrew in good
order, probably along the Delagoa
bay railroad with the view of joining
President Kruger.
So the Trausyaal forces remain
practically intact with President Kru-
ger; President Steyn and General
botha and Secretary Of State Reitz all
safe and in a position to continue the
direction Of affairs. The most opti-
mistic see in the fact that President
Kruger's wife and General Botha's
wife were left at Pretoria, an indica-
ton that the president does not count
on long resistance, in any case it
will probably take Lord Roberts at
least a week to organize a campaign Of
pursuit.
Wednesday Lord Roberts telegraph
ed to the war Office as follows:
PRETORIA, June 8, 5:3j p. nI.-The
occupation Of the town passed of most
satisfactorily, and the British flag is
now hoisted on top of the government
offices. The troops met with a much
more enthusiastic reception than 1
anticipated. The Third battalion of
the Grenadier Guards lined the square
when the march past took place.
Owing to their having been on duty
at some distance around the town, very
few cavalry and infantry were able to
take part in the ceremony.
Several of our officers who had been
prisoners were among the onlookers.

indicating that instead of improve
