STRIKE SITUATIONI IN BUFF-fLO.
Central Men to Return To-day--No Set
 dement, on Other Roads.

Buffalo, N. Y, May S.-The striking car repairers of the New York Central will return to work in body to-mor- row morning. This was agreed to at joint meeting of the Car Repairers as- sociation held at East Buffalo tonight.
 The other roads did not adjust the diff ferences with the car reparers to-day but amicable negotiations are pending, and may be concluded tomorrow
 There were no positive developments in the strike of the railway freight hand lers to-day. These strikers claim that the freight houses of all lines are badly crippled, but they appear to depend for
 success chiefly upon the belief that kin dred railway organizations will refuse
 to handle non-union loaded cars,
 At the East Buffalo meeting tonight
 1t was stated that in the agreement
 reached with Superintendent Waitt it
 had been thoroughly understood that the Central men who returned to work
 should not be asked to repair cars for any of the roads on which the strike still existed. This removed any objec-
 ton to the resumption of work by the
 Central men. Attempts were made to-
 day to settle the car repairers' strikes
 on the other lines, but they were not
 successful A joint meeting of division superintendents, master car buildings and the executive committee of the Car
 repairers association arranged for 2
 o'clock failed of consummation, be-
 cause the railway officials preferred to deal with their own employees and not with the strikers collectively.
 The executive committee then split up into sections and conferences were held which resulted as follows: Master Car
 Builder Garfield of the Lackawanna
 submitted sliding scale of wages, which was considered but not accepted,
 and the question will be taken up again tomorrow. Superintendent
 Brunn of the Erie told the committee
 that his line had always paid by the
 piece for some classes of work and pro
 posed to continue The ultimatum was
 not accepted and he will meet the com
 mittee tomorrow. Superintendent Bell
 of the Western New York and Penn sylvania took the final demand of the committee and forwarded 1t to Presa- dent De Courcey. He will be waited upon tO-HlofrOW 1T tne reply is TecelNeu Through the failure to appear of some persons necessary to the conference the
 meeting between Superintendent Allen
 and the committee representing the Le-
 high Valley men did not take place. Another attempt will be made to con- fer tomorrow. Master Mechanic Me- Kenzie of the Nickel Plate will see a committee of his car repairers to-mor- row.

BOER DELEGATES SAIL.
MT. Fichcr Hopes to Find Supporters in
 This Country.

Rotterdam, May 3.-The Boer dele gates were warmly greeted to-day as they drove to the quay and boarded the steamer MaaSdam of the Holland American line, bound for New York. The vessel sailed at 4 p. m. Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, will accompany the party to Boulogne- Sur-Mer. The vessels in the river dis played the Transvaal, Orange Free State and Dutch flags, while numerous societies. with bands playing national airs assembled on the quay, one associ- alton singing the national anthem, in which many of the public joined.
 After Dr. Leyds and the Boer dele gates had boarded the steamer, MT. Fischer, Ca member of the Free State executive council and one of the dele gates). addressed the crowd. He re- marked that in the song just sung ref- erence was made to the people. and the country. But" he added, sno mention is made of peace or liberty, without which there can be no question of peace in the country"
 Continuing, MT. Fischer said: we are going to a country which fought for liberty with the same country with which we are fighting. We also hope to obtain this liberty. We have not sought for the support of factions in Holland, nor will we seek for them in America. We will only seek the peo- pie. On our return we hope to be able to say that in them also we found sup porters of our cause"

Bristol, Conn.,, May 3.-During the heavy thunder storm that prevailed in this vicinity tonight the Methodist Episcopal church at Forestville was struck by lightning and completely de- stroyed by fire. Loss is $4,500, partially covered by insurance.
 The electric bolt struck the belfry and descended directly through the church to the ground. The church had been built a number of years, and it seemed that it was afire all at once. The engine house is near by, but before the depart ment could arrive the church was prac- tically destroyed. An organ that cost $1,2 200 was also burned.
 The storm was of unusual severity and prevailed here from shortly after 6 o'clock until after o'clock tonight.

THE BOARD OF FINANCE.
Rsj jccted Extra Salary Bills of Members
 ofthe Board of Relief.

The board of finance last night held Bills were received from the members of the board of relief for $200 each. The bills were for salary for extra work performed during the month of April in receiving appeals from the reassess- ment of real estate Section IA of the act of consolidation provides that the salary of member of the board of re- lief shall be $500 per year and the finance board after considering the mat ter at length last night decided to re- turn the bill with a note calling the attention of the members of the board of relief to that section of the act.
 The bill of Attorneys Hamilton and Bydenburgh for legal services rendered to the board of selectmen in relation to the matter of making new voters was taken up for consideration. Objec- ton to paying the bill was made by some members of the finance board on the ground that Mir Hamilton was 8 member of the board of selectmen. It was finally voted to refer the bill back to the selectmen with a request that 1t be divided, MT. Hamilton's and MT. Blydenburgh's bills to be made out separately.
 Three hundred and twenty-five dol lars was transferred from the account for repair of Willow street bridge in the department of public works to the account for the repair of Kimberly ave nue bridge, thereby increasing the total amount appropriated for that purpose during the past two weeks to $575. $500 was transferred from the account for crushed stone pavements to account for repair ofsthe road roller. Bills were re- ceived from the clerks who assisted the board of relief in the hearing of ap- peals from reassessment. Among the bills was one for $10 from T. F. Miller, president of the board of councilmen, who served as clerk. The bill was re- jected on the ground that MT. Miller being a city official could not legally be paid for services of that character rendered to the city.

THE SETON KOP DISPITCHES.
TcIegrnphic Correspondence Preceding
 Their Publication Issued.


 London, May 9.-The telegraphic cor respondence relating to the Splon hop dispatches was issued to parliament just before midnight Thursday Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state for war, wired March 2S asking the advice of Lord Roberts about publishing the dis patches, saying i've cannot publish all the documents enclosed with your dis patch of February 13," and suggesting certain dispatches which, in Lord Lansdowne's opinion, might be pup lished Lord Lansdowne added: But I would not feel justified in thus editing the papers unless you concur; and you may perhaps think it well to refer to Butler. I suggest, as an alternative, that we should treat your dispatch of February IS, and all it's enclosures as confidential, and that Butler should send through you a full narrative or the op- erations. This you could forward to us, with any observations you deslred to make, for publications"
 Lord Roberts replied to Lord Lans- dcwne in a dispatch dated Bloemton- tein, March 31, that he had suggested to Sir Redvers Butler to prepare a full narrative, but that Sir Redvers had an- swered as follows: 'I do not at all like the idea of rewriting dispatch for pub lication I much prefer to leave 1t Tn the hands of the commander-ln-c -cnle1. Let him select for publication whatever he thinks proper"
 To this Lord Roberts appended that he would not himself object to the pub lication~ of a letter as Lord Lansdowne suggested, but that it might perhaps be better to overrule General Buffers ob- jection and to adopt the alternative course suggested by Lord Lansdowne. He asked Lord Lansdowne to wire reply
 This reply from Lord Lansdowne, dat ed April ?, said: Tn view of Buffers objection I abandon the proposal that the dispatch should be rewritten, and propose to publish the selection desig- mated in my dispatch of March 2S.
 Lord Roberts wired under date of April 26: 'I agree, my dispatch of Feb ruary 13 being published.'
 The correspondence also contains two dispatches referred to in Lord Lans- downe's dispatch of March 2S The first is from Lord Lansdowne to General Butler dated January 5, representing the impossbilty of Pugh's dispatches, which contain views of the situation and forecasts of his intentions" and emphasizing the advisa bility of sending dispatches descriptive of the operations for presentation to parliament. The second is from Lord Wolseley to Lord Roberts, dated February 6, and saying: "You will, I feel sure, agree With me that Methuen's dispatch regarding Ma gersfontein could not be published as sent, There are passages inappropriate to such documents, and 1t also gives information of importance to enemy. If he likes I will revise the dispatch; but I prefer not to undertake this re- sponsibility. I suggest that you should ask him to cancel this dispatch and to write another"
 The correspondence does not indicate whether Lord Methuen rewrote the dis patch as suggested. The Spion Kop dispatches, as published, were exactly the selections suggested in Lord Lans- downe's dispatch of March 2S.
