Occupation of Zeerust.
The effectiveness of the British invasion
of the Transvaal is further emphasized by
the news from Pretoria of the occupation

Apparently the British dragnet will be
drawn through the Transvaal as it was in
a similar manner hauled through the Free

The fighting at the Kip river Sunday, re-
ported from Pretoria, was presumably done
by Generals French and Hamilton in forcing
their way round to the northward of Jo-

Cape Town advices. but Lord Roberts seems
to have given his army the first intimation

ing Crowded ThorourhSnre.

Major Sylvester, TIE chief of police. has
submitted in response to a request of tho
District Commissioners. a report unon tba
condition of street. west of 18th straat
on market days. This street. especially
on Saturdays, he explains, is made prac
tically impossible, except along the car
tracks. This is caused by the assembling
OF the wagons Of the farmers. who sell their
produce along the street and. also to thu,
number of vehicles belonging to persons
pent upon purchasing. AS a preliminary to
ccing away with this congestion, he sup
sests that both the farmers and the mar
ket authorities be consulted. Major Syl-
Vester thinks that street vest of 9TH
street should be kept clear for traffic and
with the Increase in the police force after
July l he believes it can be done. but not
however ne adds, without friction. which
friction might be relieved before action Is
taken. "

far-sighted republicans that one of their
chief sources of strength in the coming
campaign will be what they have done for
sound money. Just so far as they can make
the money issue paramount and convince
gold democrats and business men generally
that the standard is threatened by the Bry-
antics they will tend to overcome discon-
tent in their own ranks and the sound
money ranks outside the party arising from
differences over expansion and disgust with
the exposures in Cuba.
Several of the democratic state conven-
lions have already denounced the gold stand
ard law in terms emphatic to indi-
cate that they would cordially sustain Mr..
Bryan if elected President in recommend
ing the repeal Of the law. Nothing could
suit the republican leaders better than
these declarations for they afford the OPP
portunity of rallying the business interests
again with the same enthusiasm as in 1896.
Some Timfd Republicans.
A few republicans feel some timidity in
regard to the charge of the silver democrats
that a bank note currency of more liberal
and flexible CHARACTER than that based upon
bonds puts the coatrol, of the money of the
country in the hands. of the banks, and
thereby creates al triorey trust. Those IA
miliar with financial Questions declare that
this argument can be bowled over as easily

case. to create "a corner in gold or govern
ment money than when any body OF Cit
liens are authorized TO take out bank
charter under reasonable restrictions as to
safety, and to issue their circulating notes
in competition with any conspiracy of
banks which might be formed. These
friends of an elastic currency declare that
the argument is irresistible and irrefuIaole
to the farmer. the manufacturer and the
laborer that freedom of note issues. within
the limits of immediate coin redemption and
perfect safety, will pat the country upon an
equal footing with the cities in the employ

that II the gold democrats be held upon

Member of Fire Department Loses
Money and Papers.
Members of the local detective force
have been working for week on a dar-
ing robbery, which was committed in the
house Of truck D Of the District fire de-
partment some days ago. The amount

the robbery to the police Detectives He
Ian and McNamee were detailed on the
case, and Fireman Davis has paid a num-
Der Of visits to police headquarters dur
ing the week for consultation with the
detectives. It was stated at headquarters
this morning that no clue to the identity
of the thief had been obtained. When
Davis reported the theft to the foreman of
the company the latter advised him to
notify the police and have the matter In
vestfgated. At the same time every effort
was made to keep the robbery quiet. Chief
Paris was advised of the affair, and he
has since consulted Major sylvester and
Inspector Boardnnan.
The $5sS was in gold and paper, and rep
resented the savings of Davis, who has
put aside part of his salary each month.
He kept the money in his trunk and last
saw 1t the I'd of the month. when he put
away part of last months salary.

arrangements We're made to have the sub

They are Mrs. Catherine Fishburne, APRON

Mrs Fishburne has been in the asylum

CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY.
Two Men Arrested and Considerable
Property Recovered.

Property Recovered.
Preston Tierney, white. and George H.
Richards. colored. We're arrested last night
by Detectives Browne and Father on
charges of grand larceny. 1t is alleged
that they robbed the stable of William F.
Downey, on l. street northwest between
18th and 18th streets. Property valued at
about $500 has been recovered by the de-
ney, who was not aware of the extent Of
his losses.
Tierney was employed by Mr.. Downey
as a driver, and his duties required his
presence in the stable longer each day
than most Of the others were obliged to
stay. The colOred man Is a hackman, but
he drives his own team. Complaint was
recently made that several articles had
been stolen. and soon after the detectives
started an investigation they concluded
they would arrest Tierney. After ne was
locked up they went and arrested the COL
ored hackman.
Two sets of harness, worth about 5000,
Were among the first articles recovered by
the detectives. Later they obtained parts
of other sets of harness, four liverymen's
coats, four mackintoshes, several rubber
coats and a bundle of channels. 1t is al
legged that Tierney took the property and
that Richards assisted him to dispose of 1t.
Most of the property was found Mn the
possession of hackmen who drive their own
teams. many of whom are known as might
liners" In some instances, it Is stated,
Tierney gave coats to the drivers.
The detectives are still working on the
case and they expect to recover more prop
erty. Tierney and Richards will probably
be given hearing in the Police Court

Advices have reached the papal legation
here from Rome indicating the early sp-
pointment OF Archbishop Keane as arch
bishop of Dubuque. The appointment, it
is said. would have been made before this
but for the antagonism of the German
priests in that see. who favor the selection
of Father Carroll. a professor at the Du-
buque Seminary, for the vacancy. 1t is
understood that their opposition to Dr.
Keane arises from his attitude on the
Schroeder case. when that professor some
months ago was removed from the Cath
Ollie University In this city.
