Washington, May 26.-The senate today agreed to the Investigation by the commit tee on Cuban affairs of the Cuban postal and other irregularities, authorizing the committee to visit Cuba if necessary 10 pursue inquiry. Beyond this the proceed ings were of little general interest much time being given to the sundry civil ap- preparation bill without finishing it and to the District of Columbia business. One of the latter measures provide for terminal improvements in Washington for the B. & P and B. & O. railroads, and for the re- moval of the historic Hong bridge, the highway from the north to the south dur ing the war of the rebellion.
 With few changes the sundry civil bill was perfected through the river and har- bor items, including the senate amend ments on the Missouri and Columbia rivers but not that on the Columbia, which went over. After a brief executive session the senate, at D. m., adjourned. s

BRITISH FORCES ACROSS THE VAL Advanced Force Crossed on the
 Queens Birthday PROBABLY MUTTON SCOMMAND Great Secrecy Surrounding the
 Movements of Army. BIG THANKSGIVING AT MAFEKlNG Entire Garrison Formed Parade and Were Addressed by Col. Baden
 Powell-Last Tribute Paid
 to the Gallant Dead
BIG THANKSGIVING AT WATERING

London, May 26.-(3 p. m.)-The war of- flee has received the following dispatch from, Lord Roberts:
 "Wolvehoek Orange Free State), May 26-An advanced portion of this force crossed the Vaal river on the queens s birthday, near Pary's.
 "Hamilton's column is at Boschbank.
 "Our scouts are now at Vilioensdrif Con the frontier north of Wolvehoek).
 "There is no enemy on this side of the river. Hunter reached Vryberg May A
 As anticipated, the first news from Lord Roberts after his long silence was the an nouncement that the British had crossed the Vaal river. This is probably General Hutton's column which crossed at Pary' S and may be expected to make dash at the railroad in the neighborhood of Potchefstroom, whence there is direct com munication with Johannesburg.
 General Hamilton's column is at Bosch bank which is close to the river, about eight miles northwest of Wolvehoek, Lord Roberts headquarters. and may be ex- pected to also cross the Vaal river and create a diversion on the flank of any federal force in the neighborhood of Yer eininging. As he has only about fifteen  miles to traverse, speedy announcement may be expected that the British com mander-in-ch himself has gained foot hold in the Transvaal, and that he will reach the federal position south of Johan- nesburg in the middle of the coming week.
 The same secrecy which shrouded the movements of the main army enyeloped Lord Methuen's and General Bundles col umns; so probably the next official dispatch will show decisive movements of these wings. Bundle ought to be close to Bethle- hem by now, and the experts expect to hear of decisive movement on Harrismith railroad, where part of General Butler S force will cooperate in the direction of Vaureeman's Pass.
 Should the Pretoria bulletin announcing the re-occupation of Heilbron by the fed erals turn out to be true, it will be a to- tally unexpected development, as General Ian Hamilton occupied Heilbron Tuesday, and nothing has been heard from him since.

PARDONED IRISHMEN
 COMING TO AMERICA
They Were Incarcerated for Participation iD the Assassination of Lord Frederick
 Cavendish Some Years Ago.

New York, May 6.-Commissioner of Im- migration Fitchie sent one of his inspectors down the bay to board the Cunard steam ship Lucania, and detain James Fitzharris, nicknamed Skin the Goat" and Joseph Mullet who were recently liberated from English prisons, where they had been con fined for alleged complcty in the Phoenix Park murders of 1882. It is not yet certain whether these men are entitled to be ad- mitted to this country. Their examination will be conducted by the regular oinclals at the barge office
 On the way up the bay Mullins ana tltz- harris talked freely.
 We are coming here that we may secure money on which to live," said Fitzharris "Of course, as to our future plans at this time, I can say nothing. We have both been released from prison, and neither of us have any friends in this country. The only one whom we know and who Will LOOK out for us is Rocky Mountain O'Brien. T was released from the Maryboro prison in August, after having served over sixteen years and a half. Mullet was released about that time''
 The board of special inquiry adjourned as usual at clock, and as the steerage pas sengers had not arrived the two Irishmen did not go before the board today. Sev- enteen years ago Mullet and F'itzharris were sentenced to penal servitude for life for participating in the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish, the chief secre- tary for Ireland, and Under Secretary Burke, of the permanent Dublin castle es- tablishment.
 Fitzharris up to the time of his trial and conviction known to Dubiners as the old cabby, nicknamed Skin the Coat
 Fitzharris drove the men, who were af- forwards found guilty of the crime, to the spot where it was committed. Whether he saw the deed or knew it was contemplated is not known.
 Joe Mullet was a law clerk, and one of the most intelligent of the supposed con- spirators. He is a frail man and hunch- back It was nearly year before any clew was obtained to the perpetratiors of the crime. The wife of James Carey, who later be- came the witness for the government, bab- bled in her cups to Superintendent Mallin of the Dublin police force, giving him a clew which resulted in number of ar rests Joseph Bradley, Timothy Kelly, Dan Curley and others paid the penalty on the scaffod for their share in the Phoenix Park assassination, and Fitzharris and Mullet were given life sentences, but were pardoned.

THE DEAD HONORED
Entire Garrison at Mafeking Hold a
 Thanksgiving

Mafeking, May 1S.-The entire garrison paraded this morning to a thanksgiving. Colonel Baden-Powell addressed the men, saying:
 I've have been unable to fire a volley over the graves of our killed, being fear full of drawing the fire of the enemy s guns"
 Today the garrison paid the last honors to the dead, assembling in the grave yard and bidding goodbye to their fallen com rades. After sounding the last post, the garrison attempted to sing the national anthem, but could scarcely be heard, as the men choked with emotion Colonel Baden-Powell was deeply affected, and ad- dressed each unit separately. He told the town guard that those who wished would be permitted, to return to their civilian avocations. To the Rhodesian column, in characteristic manner he said:
 We've kicked out the Boer protector ate,"

An Interesting Habeas Corpus Trial Begins Monday Man to be Tried for Murder Committed Five
 or Six Years Ago

Prattville, May 6-(Special)-The Pratt vile Works of the Continental Gin com pany have reduced their working force here to half of what it was heretofore. There is no explanation of this except that they have not room to store their finished prod ucts. To all the people who have been hv- ing here so long time as forty years have never seen before this such thing as the works shut down as it is now prac- tically at this time of year. There have been few men tos leave town for work. Others will have to leave soon.
 These works, making as they do, the most popular gin on the market, have thus far shipped very few gins. It is barely pos sible that 1t is on account of the gin trust, which was practically formed last fall, when the Continental Gin company was formed In New Jersey. The failure to sell the finished products could hardly be at tributed to dull times with the farmers, as the general condition of business through out the country has not been better since back in the sos. Practically nothing IS given out by the company at this place.

There will be an interesting habeas cor pus trial here Monday. P. J.

There were no eye wie- nesses to the killing and 1t has been under- stood that 1t was done by lying in ambush for the victem Suspicion has all the time rested upon the defendant, but 1t was only at the last sitting of the grand jury that they found evidence sufficient to indiet.

 Rebuilding Goes On
 The work of rebuilding the town goes merrily on these days to the satisfaction of all the people alike. Ere long there will be better business houses than have ever been in the town, and no one will remem- Der the fire so unpleasantly after all.
 Prattyiile has a bright future before her, as it will not be many days before ground will be broken to build cotton mill cost ing s3O0.001; this mill when completed will be equipped with the best improved cotton mill machinery, devised especially for la bor saving purposes. There are good loca- tions for others
 All the schools of the town have closed out and had their picnics, and the children are3free once more for the summer. The academy closed yesterday with an enjoy able occasion in the way of picnic at Both's. about seven miles from here on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, where the company has prepared the prettiest grounds for picnics in this part of the country.
 Oats are being harvested, and the re- ports come in that the crop is above an average for this country. Other crops are good so far.
