Queen Victoria has cabled Lord
Roberts to convey to the widow of Gen
eral Joubert her sympathy Al the loss of
her husband and that the British people
recognized in him gallant soldier and
an honorable foeman. This is but one
more OF many illustrations OF the kindly
heart possessed bv this good old lady,
and there is scarcely question but what
if her counsel could have prevailed The
present war with the Beers would have
been ayerted

Thos. Iund showed his public spirit by
putting up a certified check for $4l5 for
the Bryan excursion from Roslyn, Gle
Elum, and Ellensburg. Owing to failure
of the railway agents at those stations

insists that there is shortage, Mr.. Lund
says he will take his loss without COM
plant.

Chief Signal Service officer Greedy
urges congress not TO substitute the
Pacific cable, but to have it built and
controlled by the government, thereby
securing privacy and protection in official
matters and better and cheaper service
for the public. But The cable com panv
wants an eight million dollar subsidy and
with powerful LOBBY that will handle
the stocks and bonds of the company
with an open hand, congress will prob
ably be influenced to think governmental
ownership is not just the proper thing.

The value of unity of purpose and &C.
ton, of organized effort on any public
question, is well illustrated by the recent
order of the interior department anent
the grazing lands of the Rainier forestry
reserve. The secretary was determined
to close the reserve to stock, and stub
born in his refusal to be convinced by
argument, but the persistent demands of
the Yakima and other wool growers as
sociations and the earnest efforts of the
western congressman, especially those
from this state, finally resulted in the
privilege being secured. 1t was fight
we'll made and will prove of incalculable
benefit to this section.

"Kroonstad, May 49, have entered
Kroonstad without opposition, when the
union jack was hoisted amidst the cheers
from the few British residents.
President Steyn fed last evening after
vainly endeavoring to persuade the burgh-
ers to continue the opposition. The Trans.
walters said they could no longer fight
on Orange Free State soil, and made off
for the Vaal river. The Free Staters
accuse the Transvaalers of having made
use of them and deserving them. Many
of the Free Skaters have gone to their
homes.
The procession entering the town was
headed by my body guard, all of whom
were colonials, and after my staff and
foreign officers came the North Somerset
Imperial yeomanry, followed by Pole
Carew's division of the Guards and the
Eighteenth naval brigade, the Eighty
third, the Eighty fourth and Eighty-fifth
batteries, two five-inch guns, manned by
the Royal Artillery company, and the
Twelfth Engineers. The first of the force
encamped around the town.
Before leaving Kroonstad President
Steyn issued proclamation making Lind.
ley the seat of government of the Free
State. Generals Botha and Dewett &C.
companied the Transvaalers."

contracts for nine publications which will

the Princeton team won by the score of 10
to two points. The results of the games
were surprise, as it was expected the
contest would be very close. A previous
comparison of the records of both teams
showed little difference between the aver
age performance of the two. 1t turned
out, however, that Princeton's men were
in excellent condition and put up by far
the best work they had done this season.

Roberts Army IL Extended Two
Hundred Miles.

London, May ia special from Stone
Hill Farm, Natal, says:
General Buffers advance commenced
Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in
strength. When within two miles of
Helpmaaker, the Beers opened heavy
fire of artillery, and the British guns re-
piled while a portion of Buffers troops
worked around the Boer TANKS. The
British attack was pressed home Sunday.
"Bethuen, on the right, outfianked the
Beers, whose splendid defensive positions
on the Biggarsberg were practically taken.
General Buffers march subsequent to
the attack was carried out without
hitch. The British are still pushing on"
Beers in Force Around Dundee.
"Recent scouting in the direction of
Dundee has shown that the federals were
in great force on Biggarsberg, so appar-
emily General Butler concluded it was
necessary to clear them from his rear be-
fore commencing a movement in the di-
rection of the Dmkensburg range.

casualties in the cavalry division on May

able to get the exact account of what oc-
Cured, as the commanding officer, Cap
tain Elsworthy, was killed, and two off
GERS were wounded at the same time, and
have been sent to the rear. But it would
appear that a party of our men going up
to kraal on which white flag was fly
ing, was suddenly attacked by large
number of the enemy. Two officers, Cap
tain Haig of the Sixth Dragons and Lieu
tenant Wilkinson of the Australian Horse,
were made prisoners"
