THE BRITISH AND THE BOERS.
Summary Of the News of the Struggle
Between the British and the Beers.


Both President Kruger and Presi.
dent Steyn were present at the
battle Wednesday. They did all in
their power to rally their men after
they broke and fled before French's
cavalry; but all their efforts were
fruitess. The men bluntly refused to
face the withering fire Of the artillery
on their front, and 5000 cavalrymen
sweeping around their rear. Both
presidents rode among the disordered
forces begging, urging and command,
ing the men to face the music; but
threats and entreaties were equally
futile. The force opposing Roberts
on Wednesday is now estimated at l5,-
900. 1t seems to have melted away
in disorder before French's pursuit.
President Kruger is quoted as saying
in an address to his army that he
didn't know whether arbitration or
intervention would end the struggle
but he strongly believed the war
would end within the next month.
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Daily Mail says: II learn that
there is dissension between President
Kruger and General Joubert and that
the latter has resigned. Probably
President Kruger will assume the
chief command. General Schallen-
berger and other prominent command
ants are also likely to resign for similar
reasons and because President Kruger
ignored their advice to make peace
overtures after the first Boer victory.
Advices from various quarters shows
signs of peace. All the dispatches
from Roberts headquarters, includ-
ing the commanders-in.chief, indicate
the lack of guiding spirit among the
Beers, and also that they are individu-
ally demoralized, portending the dis
Indignation Of the army unless it is
speedily stemmed. The flight of the
burgers from Poplar Grove by all
accounts, was wholly inglorious. The
correspondents there say there is a
growing outcry against any further
Identification of the Free States with
the Transvaal interests. The Times
has dispatches from Roberts on the
victory which says it causes dismay at
Bloemfortein. The submission of the
Orange Free Staters is expected within
a week.

Che atorkrille enquirer.
YORKVILLE, 8. c.:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH IA, 1900.

- 1t is beginning to show up pretty
plainly now that the European trou-
BILE Great Britain has all along been
expecting, or that the world has been
expecting her to get into, is to be with
France. There has been no overt act
on the part of either nation, and dip
lomatic relations continue serene; but
public opinion throughout France, as
we'll as military activity, indicate a
high state of excitement. France is
sending many troops tn rough the Suez
canal, ostensibly for Madagascar, AL
giers and Tonquin but it is believed
in many quarters that this is merely
in preparation for an expected strug-
gle. The British are not showing signs
of excitement but it is thoroughly
understood that they realize the situa-
ton. They consider that as things
are now going war is inevitable, and
they are preparing themselves accord
ingly. The meaning of the excite
ment is that France is still smarting
over the way England treated Major
Marchland at Fashoda, and over the
British triumphs in Egypt and the
Soudan. The result of the war, il
war there should be, is going to be a
pretty general mixup throughout Eu'
rope, and the final acquisition by Great
Britain of all the French colonies that
are now scattered about through the
world.

SUICIDE NEAR ETA JANE.-A cor
respondent of The ENQUIRER, writing
from Eta Jane under date of March
12, says that Mr.. Will T. Foster, a
highly respected young man of that
committed suicide on
last Saturday by shooting himself in
the heart with a shotgun. He took q
stick about the length of the barrel of
the gun and used it so as to fit against
the trigger and discharged the gun.
He had been in bad health for some
time and had threatened suicide. He
left home ostensibly to 60 hunting, and
in a short time after he left the report
of u gun was heard. After the lapse

the determination of these beautiful
birds is feared. ..'.....''The English mill
itary authorities have decided to trans
port General Cronje and the Beers
captured with him to St. Helena, to
remain until the close Of the war. 1t
is also asserted that the cabinet has
resolved neither to propose nor to
entertain proposals at the present
juncture for an exchange of prisoners.
'..'.....The amendment to the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill, pro-
posing to give former Queen Liliuo-
kalani, of Hawaii, 500, 900 and $4,000

more. But too close personal criticism
aside. The municipal life is not pro-
gressive enough. There is not enough
ambition in the town council-not
enough pride in the progress of the
town. This is because of apathy on
the part of the people more than any
thing else. If the people were full of
vigor, enterprise and town pride, the
council would no doubt properly re-
fleet these qualities. The council is
not and cannot be greatly superior to
the people 1t represents. Naturally,
it is only the composite reflection Of
the aims, aspirations and sentiments Of
majority of such individual citizens
as take enough interest in the num-
icipal life to take part in the selection
of their representatives. So it has
been for long, and as the result, in
many instances the town government
has been sorry. TO mention numerous
developments in support of this pro-
position would be easy; but for the
present purpose only one is necessary.
The revenues of Yorkville are raised
by different taxes. There is regular
property tax and there is special
street tax, and then, there is special
sanitary tax. The street tax was
made so cents per annum more than
the amount fixed by the statute law,
and is not legally colleclible. 1t is
collected all the the same, illustrating
one of the places where the council

the South Carolina dispensary law as

- Franklin J. Moses, an ex-governor
of South Carolina, who, thirty years
ago, was one of the most-talked- of
politicians of the south, appeared in
the district court at East Boston on last
Wednesday, charged with larceny.
Moses has been a resident of Winthrop
for the past eight years. 1t is due to
his activity during the last municipal
campaign that he was in court. The
charge against him is that he misap-
propriated money that was put in his
hands to give some one else. The
complainant in the case is Edward
Thurston, who managed the campaign
of one Of the successful candidates. A
hearing is set for Saturday morning.

- A New York dispatch to the Chi

of treason to send David B. Hill to a
Democratic national convention; but
he will 60 to Kansas City as dele
gate from the Albany district, even if
the state convention refuses to make
him delegate at large, and his satchel
will be filled with bricks. The ex-sen
ator has made no public utterance of
his views recently; but privately he
talks with great freedom and emphasis,
and has been working very hard for
months to get men on the delegation
who will stand with him and prevent
the nomination of Colonel Bryan,
which he says would be simply turn
