Beers Near 0sf0ntein.

LONDON, March ?, Ais a. m.
Lord Roberts at Osfontein, six
or eight miles east of Paardeberg,
faces the reformed Boer army,
from five 10 six thousand strong.
This may be merely corps of OBJ
servation, ready to retire on pre-
pared positions. Doubtless it is
receiving accretions from the late
besiegers of Ladysmitli and from
other points. Whatever the force
may be, Lord Roberts has ample
troops to cope with it. As a heavy
rain is falling on the veldt and the
grass is improving this will be
good thing temporarily for the
Beers.

Butler Found No Beers.

LONDON, March 3, 2:30 a. m.
The War Office has received the
following dispatch from General
Butler:
"Ladysmith, Friday, March ?,
$50 p. MI find the defeat of the
Beers more complete than / had
dared to anticipate. This whole
district is completely clear of them.
Except at the top of Van Reenan's
pass, where several wagons are
visible, I can find no trace of them.
"Their last train left Modder
Spruitt station about o'clock yes
terday, and they then blew up the
bridge. They packed their wagons
six days ago, moving them to the
north of Ladysmith, so that we
had no chance of intercepting
them; but they have left vast
quantities of ammunition of all
sorts, herds, grass, camp and in-
dividual necessaries. They have
got away with all their guns exc
cept two."

FEARS A POLITICAL TRAP.


LONDON, March 3.-The Times says edi-
torially this morning: ITO displace Lord
Pauncefote at a critical moment like the
present would be to carry official pedantry
to the point OF folly. 1t cannot be denied
that it is largely due to his personal action
that the United States and Great Britain
have been brought closer together than at
any period in the history of the two coun-
tries since their painful separation In the
last century. Moreover, the ambassador
has in hand the threads of negotiations on
several important questions. With the ap-
proach of a general election political atrnos-
phere. particularly in the United States.
has tendency to become electric. II would
be a mistake on cur part to regard too
seriously the movements Of political opinion
in America under such conditions, but II is
clear that the presence at the British en-
bassy at Washington of an experienced
and cool-headed diplomatist, who knows
how to discount the extravagant language
Of a presidential campaign, is of no incon-
siderable advantage
The editorial proceeds to dilate upon the
necessity, on the part of the ambassador.
of prudence combined with vigilance during
1T is possible that new ambassador
might be entrapped into acts or statements
that would compromise Great Britain.
There are questions pending between the
two governments which it is the interest of
certain sections on both sides of politics
beyond the Atlantic to exaggerate and
even to envenom. The most difficult ele-
ment in the problem is the pressure upon
President McKinley's administration to in
terfere in behalf of the Beers. The attitude
Of Washington has hitherto been beyond
reproach, but a presidential election puts
a severe, and even a dangerous, strain upon
political virtue
After declaring that a heavy RESPONSE
bility will rest upon those displacing Lord
Pauncefote,' the editorial refers to the
Irish and German vote in the United
States and concludes as follows: 1--WE do
not believe that America will be tempted
to assume an unfriendly attitude, but Il is
well for us to remember that we cannot
leave our empire at the mercy OF the
changes and chances of politics in any
other country"

One curious revelation of the new
census is that the center OF popula-
ton has moved but slightly since ten
years ago, and it will require nicer
calculation than is yet possible to de-
termine whether it has moved west
ward or eastward. For long period
it had been steadily moving westward,
and by the last census it was found to
be a little west of south OF Greensburg
in Indiana. By this census it appears
that the states wholly west OF the
longitude of that point have increased
almost precisely the same as the
states lying wholly east OF it, about
100000 each. The remaining
1926, 1000 increase is in states VIII ich
the meridian passes through and not
until the increases in the east and
west parts of these are determined
will it be known what and in what
direction the change is. The eastern
and western halves OF the nation ap.
pear to be increasing in population
with remarkable evenness. 1t is pos
sible that the northern or southern
movement of the center may be
greater than the western or eastern
movement, and perhaps it will be
found that the movement is really
farther from the center of ten years
ago than is now thought probable.
