Indianapolis. March 9.-lt is said by
intimate friends of General Harrison that
he is chagrined that his name should be
used so freely in the newspapers of the
country in connection with public ques-
lions now under consideration and espe
cially that he should be made to appear
as an opponent of the administration
One man who is near the former presi-
dent said: "You may say that if General
Harrison. had any thought of re-entering
politics. which he has not, he would not
make his temperance by criticisng the
administration. The fact is that General
Harrison S mind has not changed since he
retired from the presidency. He said at
that time that he had retired from poll
ties to stay, and it is stated that he has
never had the least desire to reappear be-
fore the public as an aspirant for re-elec-
ton to the presidency"

He has seen fit to give her immortal

Helena, which was last month placed in
cable communication with Cape Town

1t is also asserted that the cabinet has
resolved neither to propose nor to enter

ROBERTS MARCHING.
london, March e.-Lord Roberts. tu

London, March D.--L0fd Roberts turn
ing movement yesterday effectually dis
lodged the Beers from their position, but
they succeeded in making good their es-
cape. They were not surrounded. They
took alarm too soon for the British caval-
ry, who, exhausted by the wide sweep
necessary to turn the Boer works, could
not cut them off or bring them to action.
They are said to be gathering at Abra-
hams kraal, about 30 miles from Poplar
Grove and about the same distance from
Bloemfontein.
With the great number of men, horses
and oxen that move with headquarters
water in large quantities is necessity
Therefore Roberts advance is likely to
be either by the Modder river or Kaal
spruit.
From General Butler no news has been
received, but we hear indirectly of some
of his doings and of those of the com
mandoes opposed to him through bulle-
tins issued at Pretoria on Monday. The
relief of Ladysmith is alluded to airily as
''other circumstances which obliged the
Beer army to take up different positions
The bulk OF. their commanders are re-
ported to have retired to the Biggarsberg
range, where, in spite of Sir Redvers' re-
port as to the practical clearance of Ma
tai, they probably still are, while few
retired in the direction of Van Reenen's
pass.
If the Boer report can be accepted, the
Biggarsberg will be strongly held for a
time, while Van Reenen's pass has been
practically abandoned The movements
of Buffers troops so far as can be learn
ed from British sources support this
view.
Gatacre's Advance.
As expected, General Gatacre has ex-
perienced no opposition and has been
able to occupy Burghersdorp Junction
where the railway line into the Free
State by way of Bethulie and Springfon-
tein meets the Aliwal North branch.
There are no good positions between
Burghersdorp and Bethulie, so that at
any moment we may hear of his reaching
the latter place or the bridge over the
Orange river just south of it. This bridge
has certainly been destroyed and will
have to be replaced.
The fate of Mafeking seems trembling
in the balance. Those here who hoped
for the best must be beginning to lose
heart now. If the Beers insist on con
tinuing the siege. the place will probably
fall before ii can be relieved
II Mafeking falls, the Beers will get d
prize that will please them. for among
Baden Powell's officers are Lord Edward
Cecil son of the prime minister, and
Lord Charles Cavendish Bentinck, broth
er of the Duke of Portland and great
grandson of King William ".
