Inaux OF Japanese Coolies.

Washington, April 24.-The treasury
department has ordered n special
agent to proceed to the Pacific coast
to investigate the matter of the large
influx of japanese coolies to this coun-
try within the last few months. The
question is still troubling the immigra-
ton officials. Until two or three
months ago the immigration of Japa-
nese to the United States was small.
1t has become so heavy as to excite
suspicion that the men are coming

London, April 25.-The indecisive ac-

Hart and Brabant are relatively unim.
portant when compared with the prog.
ress Of General French. 1t Is now evil
dent that Lord Roberts wishes not only
to defeat the Beers, but to pen them

this important movement almost en-.

he can sweep down from the north
with the rapidity of execution which
he displayed at Kimberley and Paarde-

Lord Roberts has evidently taken large
chances. The British critics differ re.

impossible for the Beers to escape
from the net, while others reserve their
opinion until more definite news of
General French's progress Is received.
There is general impression that the

Leaving Their Dead Behind.

London, April 25.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts, dated Bloemfon-
tein, April 20: "Pole-Carew's division
reached Roodekop yesterday evening
without casualties.
ats advance was covered by caval-
ry and horse artillery which drove
back the enemy with heavy loss, their
dead being left on the ground. The
mounted troops halted for the night at
Grootfontein and at 1880 this morning
were crossing the Modder river at Vals-
bank. In accordance with my instruc-
tons to French to endeavor to place
himself astride the enemy's line of re.
treat. French's arrival near the Mod.
der evidently, however, alarmed the
Beers, who evacuated their strong posi-
ton near Dewetsdorp during the night
and it was occupied by Chermside's
division this morning.
1.-THE mounted infantry under Ian
Hamilton drove the enemy off the kop-
jes in the neighborhood of the water
works without casualties on our side.
'"The Highland brigade marched
twenty-four miles yesterday to support
General Hamilton and halted for the
night at Kip kraal, four miles short
of Sannas Post. Brabant and Hart
are still few miles short Of Wepener,
and the numbers of the enemy appear
to have somewhat increased during the
last few days. But 1t is not likely
there will be much trouble in the neigh
borhood Of Wepener once Dewetsdorp
is occupied by our troops"

CLARK WILL RESIGN.
He Decides Upon Tint Course to Escape
Expulsion.


Washington, April Ex-senator
Clark of Montana will tender his resig-
nation to escape otherwise inevitable
expulsion from the senate. The Mon
tana multi-milionaire held council
with his staff of attorneys, at which
a definite conclusion was reached that
the most graceful thing to do was to
tender his resignation as senator. Mr..
Clark has not consented to publicly
announce this decision, but the report
is confirmed from reliable quarters.
The report Of the privileges and cleo
tions committee has been thoroughly
digested by Mr.. Clark's able lawyers,
and they have come to the conclusion
that no ground is left for a fight and
that the WiSCst course for their client
will be to return to Montana and re-
new his fight for election to the senate,
avoiding the pitfalls of the last com
paign. TO the latter proposition the
Montana senator acquiesces willingly
as last chance TO beat his political
and personal enemy, Marcus DAILY, the

Big BATTLE GOING ON
According to Reports Received
from AliWal North.
BRABANT AND HART MEET BOER

Lord Roberts Teleeraphs the War ONCE
That Dewetsdorp Has Been Occupied by
General Chermside without Opposition
Colonel Delgety's Force Severely At
tackled by the Beers with Six Guns to
Prevent Assisting Relief Column.
Herschel, Cape Colony, April 25.-It
is reported that the British have occu-
pied Wepener after heavy fighting. 1t
Is also said that the Beers are unable
to escape to the north and that great
developments are expected.
London, April 25.-Lord Roberts has
telegraphed the following message to
the war office:
"Bloemfontein, April 25.-Dewets-
dorp was occupied by Chermside with
out opposition at $50 o'clock this
morning"
Aliwal North, April 25.-It is re-
ported that firing has been heard be-
tween Zastron and Wepener, and it Is
believed that Generals Brabant and
Hart are in contact with the enemy.
The Beers are so numerous that it
took them two days to cross the Gale
don river at Bastards drift.
London, April 25.-A dispatch,
dated Maseru, Basutoland, Tuesday,
April "a, says: son the breaking up
Of the bivouac this morning Generals
Brabant and Hart discovered that the
Beers, who fell back toward Wepener
yesterday, had advanced during the
night several miles nearer to Strauss
farm, which is favorable position for
resistance.
Delgety Severely Attacked.
Colonel Dalgety was severely at
tackled with six guns this morning,
probably with a view Of preventing
him assisting the relief column. 1t
seemed yesterday that Dalgety had
practically been relieved, but the Of
fensive attitude assumed by the Beers
this morning shows this idea to have
been erroneous. General Hart Is now
a few miles behind General Brabants
division, which is waiting for the for
mer to come up. Thirteen British
wounded were removed to Mafeteng
at midnight and placed in the English
church.
Advance Is Slow.
Generals Hart and Brabant covered
only short distance today and find
ing strong force opposed to them
bivOuacked on the ground they had
occupied. The firing has been desul-
tory and the casualties very slight.
The British are edging up towards the
Basutoland border Persistent ru-
mors are in circulation that Command
ant Oliver, with 1,500 men, is prepar-
ing to attack General Harris rear.
There is no sign Of the advance Of
