Beers Attacked Hart.

MAZERU, Basutoland, April 25.-Gen-
erals Hart and Brabandt have covered
only n short distance, finding strong
force opposed to them bivouacked on the
ground they had occupied.
The firing has been desultory and the
casualties very slight. The British are
edging up toward the Basutoland bor-
der.
Persistent rumors are in circulation
that Commandant Olivier, with / $50
men, is preparing to attack General
Hart's rear. There is no sign of the adj
vance of General Rumble from Dewet's
dorp.
1t is reported that firing has been
heard between ZaZetron and Wepener,

and Hart are i'll contact with the enemy.

Colonel Dalgetty was severely attacked
with six guns Tuesday morning proba-
bly, with view of preventing him as
sisting the relief column. 1t seems that
Dalgetty has practically been relieved,
but the offensive attitude assumed BY
the Beers this morning shows that to
have been erroneous. General Hart is

BRITISH SUCCESS

MOVING FROM THE NORTH

Occupy wepener and Roode Dorp
After Heavy Fighting.

LONDON, April 20. The indecisive
Hart and Brabant are relatively unim-
portant when compared with the prog
resS Of General French. 1t is now cvi-
dent that Lord Roberts wishes not only
to defeat the Beers. but to pen them i'll
as at PaardeburS. To this end 10000
British troops are concentrating i'll the
southeastern portion of the Orange Free
State and arc operating according to
carefully devised plans, i'll which the
delay may be as much due to strategy as
TO necessity. The success of this inn
portant move almost entirely depends
on General French. If he can sweep
down from the north with the rapitlity
Of execution which he displayed at kim
berley and Paardeburg he will effect the
same swift, sudden transformation
which followed the cavalry cvOlutlouS
two months ago. According to last ac-
counts he was pursuing on successfully.

success.
To put girdlc around the $4,000
Beers estimated to be i'll til" northern
part of the Orange Free State, Lord
Roberts has evidently taken large
chances. The British critics differ re-
garding the result, while others reserve
their opinion until more definite news of
General Ercnch's progress Is received.

Named by Republicans For State
Senator.
Junction City Convention Causes
Split.

The Republicans in the, senatorial dis
trict composed of Riley, Wabaunsee and
Geary counties, in a convention called
at Junction City yesterday. had a split
and the result is two Republican noni-
nees for senator in that district: G. W.
Mcknight of Junction City, and John
E. Hessin of Manhattan.
The managers representing the two
factions are now quarreling as to the
responsibility for the split In Topeka
it is charged that both sides are re-
sponsible-
The trouble first commenced in Wa
baunsee county. There were $50 votes
Carey Carroll, candidate for county at
torney, and Hessin received 147, while
the Fred Crafts Mcknight delegates re-
cefved 3d. The Burton managers prom
1sed Carroll the county attOrneyship if
he would stop his fight He said he
was for Baker and that he would sacri-
flee the Office before he would stop. At
the WabaunSee county convention the
Crafts Mcknight forces had votes
enough to control the convention with
out the Alma delegation of a dozen.
The Alma delegation was divided and
half the votes given to Carroll and half
to Crafts. Carroll lost in the fight for
county attorney by two votes. The
Carroll forces sent a cOnteStfng delega-
ton to the senatorial convention The
chairman of the convention refused TO
recognize the conteSting delegation. The
Geary delegation was instructed for
Mcknight and the Riley delegation for
Hessin- The Wabaunsee delegation was
contested At the convention the con-
tested delegation from Wabaunsee was
shut out by Meningitis forces and not
given a hearing. The Wabaunsee con-
tested delegation then Joined Riley and
two conventions were held. Hessin
claims II out of the 20 convention votes.
The party managers are Indignant
that in a district where there is so
small a Republican majority that there
should be a fight The Populist central
committee is much encouraged and now
feel certain of pulling Riley. Geary and
Wabaunsee out of the Fifth to the in
jury of Burton.
