QUEEN DRINKS no ROBERTs.
Celebration at imoral--A Great Bon
fire IiufIt.

London, June 6-4:35 a. m. Queen
Victoria, surrounded by the Duke and
Duchess of York, Princess Christian,
Princess Victoria and many notables of
her court, drank to the health of Lord
Roberts and the army at Balmoral last
evening. A great bonfire, lighted at
her majesty's command, blazed on
Craiggowan mountain, Illuminating the
country for miles around The nation
joins in the toast clarifying Lord
Roberts and turbulently rejoicing in his
victory.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, almost
eight months after the declaration Of
war, Lord Roberts entered Pretoria
While the commander -in-chief of the
greatest army Great Britain ever put in
the field was fulfilling the promise he
made to the Guards at Bloemfonten to
lead them into the capital Of the Trans
vaal, England was celebrating the event
with wild enthusiasm,
Throughout the length and breadth Of
the country the news spread like wild
fire. Based on the recollection Of re-
cent European wars, when the occupa-
ton of the enemy's capital signifed the
end of hostilities, Lord Roberts terse
telegram was universally taken to mean
the practical finish Of the war which
had tried Great Britain's military re-
sources as they were never tried before
In London the Mansion house and the
war office almost instantly became the
centers Of jubilant throngs. Flags again
as If by magic, and traffic had
to be diverted through other streets.
Hatless and coatless men and bows
ran through the city alleys to see for
themselves the bulletins announcing the
good news and staying to join in the
cheers or add their voices to the joyful
throngs singing God Save the Queen"
Hats hoisted from thousands of heads
were waved in exultant hands and SHIN
mered like a coal bed in the sun. Old
men on top of the omnibuses and alder
men from the windows of The Mansion
house encouraged the crowds to still
further efforts.
The premature report of the fall of
the Beers stronghold did not seem to
have taken the edge off to-days cele-
bration. Lord Roberts Six Mile Spruit
dispatch was hardly printed by the EEK
tras" before the Union Jack of the war
office was rapidly hauled up the flag
staff and the brief message was passed |
rom mouth to mouth: Pretoria is oc- |
,upied."

umns, and Gordon is watching the right
the railway bridge at Irene Station,
which was destroyed by the enemy. Our
casualties, l hope, are very few"
The dispatches of Lord Roberts, tell
ing of the incidents before the surren-
dering of the capital by three civilians,
stand alone as the correspondents with
him have not yet had their turn with
the wires.
Lord Roberts postscript announcing
the loss of the Yoemanry battalion
came too late for the public to know it
last evening. The newspaper commen-
tator considers the incident deplorablc,
but as having no weight to speak of in
the results. The battalion numbered
400 or 500.
General Botha and most of his men
Got away from Pretoria. This is in
ferred from Lord Roberts message; but
the presumption is that the Boer COM
mandant general cannot escape the
British dispositions without fight
Operations elsewhere seem to have
dwindled to nothing. General Baden
Powell Joined General Hunter on Sun
day at Lichtenburg. Sir Redvers Bull
Ter has not moved. Bennett Burleigh,
wiring from Johannesburg, says Presi-
dent Kruger took G2,000,000 in cash to
Middleburg. Mr.. Burleigh and Mr..
Scull, an American, entered Johannes
burg the night Lord Roberts occupied
the city and made a tour of it unmo-
Tested by the armed burghers.

REV. DR.. R. S. STORRS DEAD
VENERABLE BROOKLYN DIVINE
PISSED AWAY List MIG HT.
Death Due 10 Complications Incident
90 Old Age-Had Been Unconscious
Since Monday Night-His Last Appear
ance In the Pulpit of His Church.

New York, June 5.-The Rev DR..
Richard Salter Storrs, the venerable
pastor emeritus of the Church of the
Pilgrims, Brooklyn, died at his home in
that borough tonight. The only sur
viving members Of his family, his three
daughters, Mrs. Edward B. Coe, Mrs.
Louis r. Packard and Mrs. Philip
Washburr We're present at the time Of
his death.
DR.. Storrs had been In an unconscious
condition since a late hour last night.
His death was due to a complication Of
ailments incident to old age, His final
illness dating from last October. From
this illness, however, ne rallied suffi-
GENTLY to attend the annual meeting of
the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions in Boston, and his
last appearance in the pulpit of the
Church of the Pilgrims was on Sunday,
April %. On that date his successor,
Rev. DIR. Harry P. Dewey preached for
the first time after being called to the
pastorate No funeral arrangements
have yet been made.

Those who had had chance to read
Lord Roberts account of the resistance
encountered yesterday were at that mo-
ment commenting on the probability of
a fierce fight before the city was occu-
pied, and were wondering al the Beers
capabilities to make such a determined
stand when Pretoria was hemmed in
on all sides. The pressure of General
French north of the Boer capital came
as a surprise and explained the COM
mander-in-chiefs reticence anent the
position of the energetic calavry leader
1t was evident that Lord Roberts de-
layed attacking himself until all his
columns were ready to cooperate. But,
even when he wired last night that this
was accomplished there seemed a posi-
bility Of some fighting, so when the next
momentous dispatch was given out it
was surprise.
Judging from Lord Roberts phrase
ology, the occupation of Pretoria was
not accompanied by loss of life. What
has happened to the Boer forces which
so insistently opposed the British ad-
vance at Six Mile Spruit can only be
surmised, But, presumably, they have
got away, for the present at any rate.
The news from Pretoria, having been
discounted, had practically no effect on
the stock exchange, but as the day wore
on the crowds around the Mansion
house increased in numbers and the
celebrations assumed the now familiar
form which marked Mafeking day.

DISASTER TO BRITISH YEOMiNRY.
Thirteenth ImperiaIs Compelled 90 SUIT
render at Lindley.

London, 5:12 p. m.-The following is
the text of the dispatch from Lord Rob-
erts announcing the disaster to the
Thirteenth battalion, Imperial Yeoman-
ry:
Pretoria, Station, June 5, 1856 p. m.
I regret to report that the Thirteenth
Imperial Yeomanry had to surrender to
very superior force of the enemy, on
May 81, near Lindley. On receiving in
formation of the battalion being at
tackled, l ordered Methuen to proceed
with all speed to it's assistance. Meth
uen was then on the march on the He'll
bron side of Kroonstad, and half an
hour after the receipt of my telegram
on June l, he started off. By 10 a. m.
of the following day he had marched
forty-four miles in twenty four hours,
but he was too late to rescue Colonel
Spragg and Yeomanry.
''Methuen attacked the Beers, who
were between two and three thousand
strong and after running fight of five
hours completely routed the enemy. 1t
is very regrettable circumstance, but
l trust it will not be very long before
the Irish Yeomanry are released from
captivity"

BITTER DEBATE In SENATE
PRECIPITAYED BY A SENSATIONAL L
CHARGE OF MIR. BACON.
He Again Declared Tint Mr.. Cramp, the
shtpbuilder, Gave $500, 900 20 the Re
publican Campaign Fund I'm 1892 =
Hanna Vigorously Denies Amy Such
Transaction.

Washington, June 5.-A tornado of
partisan debate swept over the senate
to-day with Senator Hanna of Ohio,
Pettigrew of South Dakota, and Garter
of Montana, tha chief figures. For SEN
sational examinations and recrimina-
tions, for bitter personalities and for
poignant invectice the debate exceeded
anything heard on the floor of the
chamber for many years. The lie was
not passed directly, but the truthfulness
of statements was challenged very
sharply.
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia precipitated the
scene by repeating d charge made sew
eral days ago by Mr.. PettigreW that Mr..
Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder,
had contributed 100000 to the republic
can campaign fund in 1892 with the un-
derstanding that he would be reimburs-
ed by contracts for the construction of
warships by the government This
charge Mr.. Bacon said, had been de-
MED, neither Mr. Hanna, the present
chairman of the Republican National
committee, nor by Mr., Carter, who was
chairman of the committee of 1892. Then
the storm broke out. Mr.. Hanna Wig
orously denied any knowledge of such
transaction and expressed his opinion
that the charge was false. Mr.. Carter
declared that Mr.. Pettigrew's statement
properly could be branded only as a
lie. Mr.. Pettigrew not only reiterated
the statement, but Grated tremendous
sensation by asserting that his author
ity was no less a person than Mr. Cramp
himself, and that In a conversa tion with
Mr.. Carter that senator substantially
had verified the story. He also at
tackled Mr.. Hanna relative to his cleo
tion to the senate. Mr.. Hanna replied in
kind and expressed doubt of the South
Dakotan's sanity. He was followed by
Mr.. Carter, who not only denounced the
charges as figments of Mr. Pettigrew's
but warned the democratic,
side, who now We're the associates of
the Dakotan, that if they would 'lie
down with dogs they would get up with
tleas.' Most of the day was given to
conference reports, and odds and ends of
business preparatory to adjournment A
night session was held.
