The Bloemfontein police tried to stop the

plan Of battle follows: General Colville's
division extended along the north bank; Gen

Guards Brigade had the centre advanced. Cen
eral Kelly Kenny's division ordered to
make a huge flanking movement on the Boers's
left, following General French. who in
structed to southeast Until opposite the
BoeT flank, and then to swing around the rear.
Every movement was admirably executed and
entirely successful. The Beers were surprised,
evident from the state Of the deserted
camp. Twice the British cavalry were almost IN
a position to charge. but they admit that they
were foiled by the naneuvring of the Beers.
When last seen General French was pursuing
the enemy vigorously. He between them

London, March 9.-"The Standard" publishes
the following dispatch from Poplar Grove, dated
March 8:
The movements Of the mounted men were
somewhat too rapid for the supporting infantry,
and a result the Boer position was turned
before the main body could strike effectively.
The Beers fell back precipitately. and. extending
to the southeast, they checked the advance I
the British cavalry with a heavy rife fire at
800 yards range.
Accordingly General French moved southwark

John Musson's New Residence.

Audubon has added another first class
residence this summer to its already

1t is located just east Of Judge Green's,
on the summit Of the hill, facing the

On entering from the porch we pass
through a large specially designed door
glazed with beveled plate glass, into a
reception hall 13x23. At one end of this
hall is the stairway which is of the lat

of the hand"ome boats that take daily

These boats stop at many of the pic

historic river and take freight ship

of the things shipped from one of the

William NJ. Eyarts dearly loved q
joke-so dearly, indeed, that once, when
secretary of state, he came nigh upon
being the death of one of his subordi,
mates A consul In the West Indies
wrote home stating that his health in
that climate was bad and asking for q
transfer. At that time there happened
to be a vacancy in northern Sweden
and to 1t the astonished and dismayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr.. Evarts. 1t was not what he had
bargained for, and, as an icebound
winter was change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally relented
and gave him berth elsewhere.
At one time in the department OF
state a new elevator man had been EN-.
ployed who did not know Mr.. Evarts
by sight. In his car was conspicuous
sign to the effect that by order of the
secretary of state smoking was prohib.
tied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with a ia.
nous senator, the latter smoking a CT
gar. The new man promptly touched
the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice, cant you read
that sign" Mr.. Eyarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and, turning
to the elevator man, said: what sign
l don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held his
peace, but he followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who
the little chap with the large head
was. The guard told him.-New York
