BRITISH HOSPITAL TRAIN.

This magnificent train has been badly
wanted in Natal since the beginning of
the war. Major Brazier Creagh's i'm
proved hospital train has removed
about 1000 wounded, but though ev-
cry care was taken the narrow doors
of the carriages and the humping and
shunting has caused much pain, which,
with appliances now at hand. may be
avoided. There are still over 1000
patients in the Ladysmith hospital, so
the train Is not too late.

President Kruger.
London, March 21.-The only news
from South Africa showing activity
on this side is from Warrentown, north
OF Kimberley, where desultory fighting
occurred all Sunday, resulting in the
retreat Of the Beers towards Christi
ana, under shell fire. The progress Of
this column towards Mafeking has
either almost ceased, or is forbidden
to be mentioned in dispatches. Moth.
ing new comes from Colonel Plumer,
and Mafeking apparently still awaits
relief
The Pretoria account of the skirmish
at Fourteen Streams March 16 says
that a Boer command was preparing
to destroy railroad bridge and that
the engagement lasted half an hour,
with the result that one burgher was
slightly wounded. The same dispatch
announces the arrival at the Trans
vaal capital Of General Schalkburger
from Natal.
Abandon Defense of Free State.
The second addition Of The Times
publishes dispatch from Bloemfon-
tein dated Monday, March 10. which
says: 1.-THE blowing up of bridges by
the Beers is an evident sign that the
Transvaalers intend to abandon the
defense Of the Free State"
All is quiet in the south and west. A
corps Of young Beers from the farms
surrounding Bloemfontein. under an
imperial officer, has been detailed for
police work and to prevent the further
looting of abandoned farms by the
Kafiil's.
1t is said that when President Kru-
ger left Bloemfontein after his recent
visit there, President Steyn's parting
remark was:
mind the British do not>catch you.
or you will get better quarters at ST.
Helena than l."
Beers a Aliwal North.
Rudyard Kipling has gone to Bloem-
fonten. The Beers at Aliwal North
are reported to be still holding a posi-.
ton in the big hills on the Free State
side.
From a Pretoria dispatch it appears
some misunderstanding regarding Lord
Salisbury's reply to Americas offer Of
mediation exists there 1t had been
quoted to the effect that Lord Sails
bury said he could accept the interven-
ton of no other power. which leads to
the belief that the American represen-
tations would be listened to in the final
settlement.

Lansing, Mich, March 20. i Local
registrars have reported to Secretary
. Stearns that they have experienced
considerable trouble in securing certifi
Gates of death before disposition was
made of bodies Of persons dead from
violence when the coroner has made
an investigation. In some cases un-
dertakels have been authorized to 90
on and inter or ship bodies pending
the result of the coroners investiga-
ton, and while no burial or removal
permit had been issued by the regis
trar.
Case in Point Is Noted.
In case of this kind occurring in
Grand RAPIDS, where young WON
an committed suicide in q hotel, the
coroner, after authorizing the delivery
OF the body to Il medical college, pro-
ceeeded to forget oreturn the certifi-
cate to the registrar until several
months had elapsed. 1t is easy to un-
derstand what such abuses might re-
suit in from the ignoring of the pro-
vision that a permit shall be issued in
all cases before any disposition of the
body Is made.
Opinion of the Attorney General
In view of the abuses referred to
Secretary of State Stearns has Sc
cured from the attorney general an
opinion to the effect that there is no
provision of the registration law which
expressly or implicitly excerpts acoroner

that a coroner would have no au-
thority to order that body be in

or otherwise disposed of until the
proper permit has been issued, and any
undertaken removing body to a medi-
cal college or elsewhere under the cor
oner's direction, and without the per-
NIT provided for in section one Of the

The Fixing by the City Council of Street
Railway Fares at Detroit.

The Fixing by the City Council of street
Railway Fares at Detroit.
Detroit March 20.-Judge Swan. In
the United States district court yester.
day, rendered a decision which denies
the validity Of an ordinance passed
some months ago by the city council
requiring the street railway companies
to reduce fares to cents. The court
says there is nothing in the charter of
the city which authorizes such an or
dinance and allows an injunction to re-
strain the city from enforcing it. Said
Judge Swan: s,.,..s..,l
ITO enforce this ordinance would be
an act not Of regulation but Of spoila-
ton. The police power includes the
general management as regards the
protection Of life and property and tho
accommodation of the public but the
legislature itself could not affect the
fares agreed upon. 1t might be for the
welfare of the public that fares should
be abolished altogether, but that would
be confiscation, and could not be toler-
ated."
contention Of the city, in defeating
the injunction suit, was that since the
older ordinance provided that rates of
fare mot exceeding 5 cents" could be
charged, that the city. had power to
regulate the rates Mt reasonable
figures. The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning of al these ordi-
nances permits 5-cent fares, which privi-
lege cannot afterward be annulled.
