SEVERAL COMMITTEES
Met Last Night at City Hall to Formu-
 late Reports

Several committee meetings were held last night at the city hall preparatory to the meeting of the city council tonight.
 The special committee on stockade, Of which Alderman Rainbow is chairman took up the question, and will meet again this afternoon to formulate partial re- port to be presented to the board.
 The committee to which had been re- ferred the question of the garbage contract decided to recommend that bids for the removal of garbage for six months be ad- vertised for, during which time the ques- tion of erematory and the establish ment of a garbage department of the city government is to be given further consid- eration.
 This recommendation will be made in view of the fact that the present garbage contract expires next month, the time be- ing too limited for the city to undertake to equip department.
 Mayor Drennen was unable to attend the committee meetings, being confined to his bed by severe attack of tonsolitis. It is probable that he will not be able to be in his office today to attend the meeting of the board tonight.

MORE REPAIRERS JOIN THE STRIKE All Awaits the Arrival of Super
 intendent Wait. CONFERENCE BE HELD TODAY One-Half of the Buffalo Police is Patrol ing the Strike District, But There
 Has Been No Indications
 of Disturbances
CONFERENCE BE HELD TODAY

Buffalo, N. r., May 1.-Approximately TOO more car repairers have joined the strike, which was begun by the men of that craft employed by the New York Central. rail- road and this constitutes today's active developments. The much-deferred ultima tum stands over until tomorrow. when Su- perintendent Wait of the motive power de- pertinent of the New York Central is ex- pected from New York to confer with the executive committee of the strikers.
 The announcement this morning that MT. Wait would not be here today caused a perceptible ruffe at strike headquarters. but on receipt of later information that he would be here tomorrow the situation resumed the normal attitude of deferment that it has maintained since Saturday,
 The strike of $50 Lackawanna and 15o Nickel Plate men this afternoon is not technically regarded as an aggressive ex- etnsion of the strike. according to labor ethics but a logical sequence to demand that they repair crippled cars of the New York Central. Of course these men struck by an official order of their organization.
 It did not appear to be the policy of the executive committee tonight to extend the strike until after the conference with Mr. Wait which will take place at the Iroquois hotel tomorrow, and will be participated in by the members of the committee, Com missioner Weber and Commissioner Dele- hanty, Acting President Butler of the Trades and Labor council of this city, and possibly President Gompers of the Amer ican Federation of Labor.
 Pending the issue it does not appear to be the desire of the car repairers to permit anything to occur which might prejudice their case and in this is probably found the reason that there has as yet been no dis turbance of the status quo of kindred rail- way organizations.
 Nearly one-half of the Buffalo police force is now on patrol in the strike district, but there has been no disturbance.
 The railway freight handlers who went out last night have been recruiting unor- ganized laborers today, and claim great success. Forty non-uion Italians were put to work in the Lehigh Valley freight house today, but the strikers made no resentful move, arguing that union switchmen and trainmen would not handle non-uion loaded cars and that this would bring the issue. There were several secret meetings of or ganized railroad men tonight, but their action. if any, was not of an important nature.

SENSATIONAL ARREST
Negro Woman Held on Advice of Sheriff
 of Montgomery County

Elmira Graham, negro woman from Montgomery, was arrested last night, and placed in jail to await instructions from Sheriff Parks of Montgomery county.
 When arrested the woman gave a differ ent name to the one in the telegram, but otherwise she fitted the description wired from Montgomery. She came on the l.. & N. accommodation that arrived here at 7:30 p. m., and had with her a small child, apparently white, but which she claims is negro child.
 The nature of the charge against the woman could not be ascertained last night, but it was intimated that there would be sensational developments today.
 An effort was made to communicates over the long-distance telephone with Sheriff Parks at Montgomery, but he could not be reached.

THABA N'CHU FIGHT
Winston Churchill Writes Description
 of the Battle

London, May 1-Winston Churchill tele- graphing to the Moring Post from Thaba NChu April 2S. and describing the opera tions there, says:
 Yesterday afternoon upon the with drawal of British demonstrations on both Hanks of the enemy, the Boers pressed to close quarters and Kitchener's Horse were unable to evacute their position until mid night. The suspense caused great anxiety
 "Todays operations were intended to drive out or to intercept the Boers They occupied wide horse shoe of mountains, with the convex face toward us. General Hamilton succeeded in crushing the Boers on the right and opening road for Gen eral Dixon's cavalry brigade which dashed through and hunted the enemy from ridge to ridge smelling them with horse artil- 1ery.
 At last we arrived at the rear of the horse shoe. and the Boers, in parties of 200, could be seen within the enclosed space, running about like rats in trap. Dickson hoped to make bag, and he signalled to Hamilton regarding the situation. Hamil- ton came at once, bringing up every soldier he could find.
 Suddenly, about 4:30 the Boer army, nearly 4000 strong, moved out of the horse shoe and began marching northeast. I had never before seen such an array of Boers. Their order was so regular that at first we believed they were General Gordons cav airy brigade. But they quickly opened with artillery on Dickson.
 At the same time the Boers who had escaped earlier in the day from our inn agined trap returned in force on Dickson s left and rear with two guns. In these cir eumstances Dickson resolved to retire, and he only just withdrew in time."

WEATHER BUREAU
 REPORT ON CROPS The Excessive Rainfull Has Caus-
 ed Much Damage. SEED REPORTED SCARCE Planting in Northern Part of the Cotton Belt Has Progressed Rapidly,
 But Much Replanting Will
 Be Necessary

Washington, May 1.-The weekly sum- mary of crop conditions. issued by the weather bureau, is as follows
 The most unfavorable features of the week ending April 30 were the most ex- cessive rainfalls in the southern states and the unseasonably low temperature over the Pacific and southern regions. A large part of Texas. including the region of the great flood of June and July. 1899, has received from two to more than seven inches of rain, washing out and inundating crops to a great extent over the central and south ern portions of the state.
 Eastward of the Mississippi river corn planting and preparations have progress ed rapidly. In Texas and portions of Mis- sissippi, Arkansas and Alabama, much re- planting will be necessary. as a result of overflow. Further improvement in gener- ally reported in the condition of winter wheat. All reports indicate that spring wheat Is coming up finely and making ex- cellent growth.
 Except where the damage by excessive rains in Texas, the general outlook for oats is excellent The crop Is heading in the southern states, while some of the early sown has been harvested in Florida
 In the central and eastern portions or the cotton belt, cotton planting has pro- gressed under more favorable conditions than in the previous week and good stands are quite generally reported Planting Is well advanced over the northern portion of the cotton belt. and the early plants are being covered over the southern portion. Great damage has been caused by the heavy rains in central and southern Tex as where much replanting will be neces- sary In many portions of Texas the bulk of the crop is yet to be planted, and seed are reported scarce. Much replanting al- so remains to be done in Arkansas

London, May 2.4 a. m.-Fighting heav- fer than at any time since Ladysmith seems to be imminent near Thaba NChu The dispatches of Lord Roberts, dated Monday and Tuesday, show that the Boer rear guard, stubbornly resisting his ad- vance. forced the British Saturday and Sunday to act chiefly on the defensive ! General French. who is directing the op- erations, has at least 15,o00; some esti- mates give him 30, 900. The Boers are es- timated to be at least 6,000 strong, and possibly 10000.
 According to a dispatch from Pretoria dated April 2S, they were expecting to give | battle, and have numerous artillery. So 1 long as the Boers engage the attention of 1 half of Lord Roberts force at Thaba NChu, his advance toward Pretoria will be delayed. No one here, however, con- siders that General Betha will be able to | stand longer than a few days. The feeling is that he must be beaten off by the masses of Lord Roberts.
 The Boers attacked the British outposts at Rosho, the headquarters of General Me- thuen. on April 2S. but without result. The British guns at Warrenton shelled the Boers out of their half-constructed

 A British reconnoitering party fell into the hands of the Boers near Windsorton. The German steamer Koenig on April 22 landed quantity of war materials for the Boers at Beira and embarked a quantity of Transvaal wood
 Lord Roberts replying in the house of | lords yesterday to a question regarding warm clothing for the troops, read this dispatch from Lord Roberts: l There is no necessity to appeal for warm clothing Some corps have received more than they require and all will be I amply provided for as soon as the numer- ous cases of clothing and comforts of va | rious descriptions can be brought here | from the base"
