The fate OF Mafekirg trembles in the
balance. IL is not known whether col
umn has been sent from Kimberley to its
relief. or not. although such a movement
was indicated In despatch the other day
Probably IL Is safe to assume that Lord
Roberts did not wait a day after relieving
Kimberley before he organized a column
for Mafeking. If it was possible TO push il
forward at once. il should be heard from
before long. But it is long journey and
the railway has no doubt been pretty thor
ougniy wrecked by the Beers; so il is
doubtful if succor can be given to Baden
Powell and his sick and famished garri-
son in time to do any good. Still there

REDUCING OFFICE EXPENSE.
Western Railways to Discontinue In
diyiduaI Ticket Agencies

CHICAGO, March 9.-"The abolition of
the ticket agencies is only one of the
measures planned by the leading railway
managers said a vice president of one
of the big Western roads. 1.-The next step
will be toward the abolition of individual
railway agencies, outside Of the territory
of the lines maintaining them. Within
sixty days the only railroad agencies in
California will be those of the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe The officials OF
the roads will undertake to distribute
euuitably among certain lines all the east
bound business from lower Pacific Coast
points. Every Western line of Importance
and a number of Eastern lines maintain
agencies at San Francisco. The expenses
of these agencies amount to large sums.
1.-The next place where the experiment
of individual agencies will be tried will be
in New England territory Afterward the
agencies in what is known as Eastern
trunk line territory between the Atlantic
'oast and Buffalo, Pittsburg, and Wheel
will be closed by the managers of the
n tern roads. 1t is the present plan to

The Rout Of the Rocr..

There is something decidedly queer
IL the narrative OF Lord Roberts SEC
cessful turning movement east Of Paar-
deberg, which we fail to understand. II it
be true that the Boer commander enter
tained any hope of resisting the British
advance with a fraction of his army and
with beth his aanks exposed. then
whoever was in command in the field
should be promptly retired The retreat
seems TO have been a rout and a panic,
which is inconsistent with the theory that
the Beers were only trying to obstruct
Roberts in order to gain time in which TO
entrench position farther toward Bloem-
fontein. It must be said that the event
has very greatly enhanced the British
prospects and prestige. Lord Roberts at
latest account was only ten miles from
Abrahams Kraal where it has been under
stood JOubert intended to make a stand
on a strongly defensible line from that
point TO Kip Pan. If we may trust TO the
impression conveyed by today's news, the
Boer forces are demoralized and il is pos
sible that Lord Roberts may turn Bloem-
fontein and get in the Boer rear before
being compelled to give battle.
While we cannot speak with any conf
dence on the subject it looks rather as if
Butler might be brought over by Van
Reener's pass and assist a movement de-
signed TO envelope the Boer army-per-
haps to cut it off from retreat to the
north. Probably il will not wait. There is
too much open country in the Free State
to suit Boer tactics, and it would not he
surprising if Joubert were to abandon i,
and retire above the Vaal In any event
be has in Roberts an adversary fully his
match in strategy, and the indications are
that this campaign is not to 20 to his
credit
The story that the South African States
have made peace overtures in an in
formal way is believed in London. II it
be true. there is chance that the war
may be nearer an end than appeared pos
sible a few days ago. With all their male 1
citizens in the field. the time must come
when the supplies laid in b. TIE Transvaal !
