Onions Gone to Seed.

A party OF young men and women
were bicycling along n Weld county
road. II was a sketching class, and
every eye was wide open for an artis-
tic subject. Suddenly the whole party
dismounted with various ordinations
OF delight and surprise. Just within
the fence on the left grew innumerable
graceful stalks. each bearing aloft
globes OF pale green that shaded into
gray and purple. How enchanting"

Gen. Miles and the committee on
military affairs in the senate are at odds
about his promotion to lieutenant
general. The new army appropriation
bill authorizes the president to advance
him to that rank in the following
language: "Ihe general officer OF the
line assigned to the command OF the
army shall hearsfter have the rank. pay
and emoluments of q acknowledgement
while serving in that capacity"
Gen. Miles objects to that p~hraseology,
and wants the amendment changed by
inserting the word snow before the
word assigned" so that the president
will be compelled to promote him, but
cannot bestow the honor upon any other
officer in the future. The committee
thinks this is selfish, aud has lost it's
interest in the subject.

NEW YORK. April lS.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: Lady.
smith dispatches confirm the report that
the Beers have retired from the Eland.
slaagte district to their Biggarsberg po-
sitions. No raiding operations south
ward have been reported. and it is now
clear that the Boer advance was ordered
for the sake of employing the burghers
on active duty and of checking deser.
tons. The British inactivity in n
sense is mastery. since it demoralizes
the enemy.
Sir Redvers Buffers scouts have re.
ported that the Beers have wrecked the
engine house and shafts Of three collier.
les by heavy charges Of dynamite.
South Africans explain these attacks
on the theory that the Beers are aware
that claims for damages to property in
Natal and Cape Colony, which will be
presented after the war, can never be
assessed against the farmers of the two
commemorative, but will be l~iquidated
by Rand mine owners. Accordingly.
the Beers feel at liberty to infict as
much damage as possible, since the in.
demnity will come out Of the mining
industry of the Rand in the form of
taxation based on the profits of The
companies. The theory is correct,
without doubt, that johannesburg will
pay the piper when the war is over.
Neither Pretoria nor Bloemfontein has
resources for liquidating war indemni.

Beers Said to Be Showing Great

LONDON, April ls.-At last Roberts
seems to he on the eve of making his
main advance towards Pretoria. I'm.
less all the usually reliable sources OF
information and all the indications
struggled past the censor are at fault
the British army within q few days will
be marching northward. After many
premature and unfounded reports that
have purported to tell Of this move
there is naturally, yer in the best i'll.
formed quarters, considerable hesitancy
in definitely settling upon the day Lord
Roberts is likely to leave B~loemfontein.
but there is a settled impression that l.
will occur either at the end of this week
or the beginning of next. The long,
weary wait in the Free State capital
has, apparently, effected a much needed
rehabilitation, though it is probable
Lord Roberts would still further have
delayed his advance had not the Boer
activity forced him to put his forces III
such positions, that, unless they quickly
proceed northward, the strategic adj.
vantage will be lost.
The critics agree in the supposition
that the advance will be made in paral.
lei columns, with a broad front, west
Of the railroad, the third and eighth
divisions sweeping northward to the
extreme northwest. the entire force
amounting to $4,000 men.
Exactly what part General Butler
will take is still a secret which no one
is able to probe.
From the seat of war there is signifi-
cant silence. From The Hague comes
the news that the Boer delegates refuse
to make public the object of their mis-
sion. They hope to be received by
Queen Wilhelmina, but nothing in this
direction has yet been decided upon.
