STRATEGIC POSITION GAINED
BY the British, Who Now Occupy
KIerksdorp.
YOUNG KRONE SURRENDERED.
Telegraph Line Reopened to Pretoria
Beers Attack Reconstruction Train
President Steyn, Not President Kruger,
Stands In the Way OF Surrender.

London, June 18.-The occupation OF
Klerksdorp, announced by Lord Rob-
erts, gives the British strategic po-
sition Of some Importance, as the town,
besides being the terminus Of another
railroad to johannesburg, is within
easy reach of the Kroonstad-V ierfon-
tein road.
Cronje, who surrendered the place,
is a son of the famous Gen. Cronje,
now prisoner at st. Helena, and took
prominent part in the siege Of Mafe-
king.
Lord Roberts dispatch shows that
the telegraph line is reopened to Pre-
toria, and also points to the fact that
the Beers, whom Gen. Methuen was
reported to have so utterly routed
have recuperated enough to attack a
reconstruction train.
According to the Lourenco Marques
correspondent of the Times it would
seem that President Stein, and not
President Kruger, now stands in the
way of surrender. His present atti-
tude is attributed to pique, his pre-
vious advice having been secuted. The
correspondent says that shortly after
the British entered the Transvaal
President Kruger proposed reopening
negotiations, but President Steyn
strongly demurred, pointing out that
according to the treaty between the
republics neither could conclude peace
without the consent Of the other. He
representing the Free State, refused
to reopen negotiations. President
Kruger had no alternative but to con-
tinue the campaign, unless he was
willing to incur a charge Of breach OF
faith. 1t is notorious, the correspond
ent adds, that he is in favor of peace
on almost any terms.

room, does Barbara speak. Then she
looks at her aunt
| aunt Julia, does father say nothing
about George? You know we are en-
gagged
Mrs. Saville smiles rather provok,
ingly.
| Il do not think your father has any

| ject.
Barbara's color rises. She is to be
| treated as "a child, then, who has set
| its heart on possessing the moon, and
every one knows it is nonsense!
II will go out to father as he
Wishes" she says, proudly. "but when
am of age l will marry George Bou-
verie; so there will only be year to
wait, and then nobody can make any
objection.
Il was not aware that any one had
objected" Mrs. Saville returns. II
have not tried to prevent your engag-
ing yourself to any one.
Barbara's lip quivers. This tacit
ignoring of her engagement is hard to
bear.
Mrs. Saville, who has no sympathy
with her, proceeds to discuss Bar
bara's clothes.

says. Il am sure l do not know what
kind of things you will want. | be-
lieve it is a nice climate; but / fancy
some one told me there is always east
wind, and that is SO trying.
But Barbara can take no interest in
her clothes.
Il have plenty Of things. I shall
only get deck chair" she says, al
most GROSSLY, for this Punishment to
the other side of the world is very
hard to endure. Besides, her nerves
are on the rack on account of George
Bouverie's troubles.
Your father has sent you a check
for your expenses" Mrs. Saville says
presently. And Barbara says Yes"
and no more
Mrs. Saville gathers up her letters
and rises from the table.

mence packing. Really, it is hardly
fair to make you start at a minutes
notice; but the steamer your father
names sails in a few days, and We
have to meet these people who are to
take care of you"
Barbara bursts into tears. She is
stung to pitch of excitement. and can
only realize the one awful fact-she
must say good-by to George and leave
him in his trouble.
my dear there is nothing to cry
for" Mrs. Saville says, crossing the
room in her trailing garments, and
leaving it as Sebastian enters.

PLANS FOR THE PLATFORM,
indications That Declaration as
to Trusts
WILL BRING OUT SOME DEBATES
As There Is Considerable Difference of
Opinion on the Subject-The Delaware
Contest-H. Clay Evans Turned Down
different Boor,5 fc- yico-c-osident.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 1S.-Plans
for making the national re-
publican platform are all under way.
The declaration Of principles will be
by no means so cut and dried char
acter has been frequently antici-
pated. On the contrary, there is a
prospect of several nice little fights.
Senator Fairbanks has collected the
declarations on the trust question from
number of state platforms and has
formulated plank which was submit
ted to the platform conference in
Washington last Saturday. 1t adopts
the constitutional amendment idea
somewhat vaguely, but nevertheless is
declaration against the trusts. Sena-
tor Foraker has also prepared the draft
of plank which declares consti-
tutional amendment unnecessary, and
pledges the party to suppress unlawful
and dangerous combines of capital
through the medium of direct legis-
antitrust law On the form of the
trust amendment there is likely to be
repetition of the fight at st. Louis
four years ago. There the compromise
Idea of lodging the issue had to be
met and beaten. The timid men in
the party councils were afraid to make
an unequivocal declaration for the
gold standard. The same fight will be
gone over now. There are those who
are afraid that radical declaration
against the trusts will turn the solid
business element against the party, and
this element Is pronounced for a strad-
die on the question. On the other
hand, many of the delegates from the
west, particularly, will declare the
election of President Mckinley will be
endangered unless the party puts itself
on record as fatty against trusts as it
did for the gold standard.
After three days of almost contin-
uous session the national committee at
last begins to see daylight on the list
Of contests. The only one of the lot
which appears to have a bearing on
national politics is that between Con-
gresham Brownlow and Commissioner
Evans over the Tennessee delegation.
Brownlow was victorious and Evans
was turned down by a significant vote.
The national committee held three
long sessions, but with all its hard
work was not able to straighten out
the Delaware tangle. This has been
referred back to the subcommittee
with instructions to again endeavor to
bring the factions to a basis Of agree
ment, and will receive final action to-
day.
There are vice-presidential booms
for Dolliver Scott. Long and all the
other candidates. Dolliver seems to be
well to the front in these preliminary
struggles for prestige.

Origin of Visiting Cards.

"The use of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs
Van Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept a visitors book, in which he
scrawled his idea of the names of those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection it was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, a scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. German, was
shocked to find that his porter kept
so poor register of the names of
those who had called upon him. The
names. badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested
to him the idea of writing his own
name upon slips OF paper or bits of
cardboard in advance of calling upon
his neighbors, lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands of their
porters. This custom soon became
generally established"

a stampede of officers from the Engle-

He had scarcely pulled r from his

Lansing, Mich, June 1S.-Booker T.
Washington delivered the address OF
the commencement exercises at the
Michigan agricultural college. Presi-
dent f. l.. Snyder conferred the ue-
grees. Prof. Washington, who is at
the head of an industrial institute at
ruskegee, Ala, said In part: For a
number of years l have tried to advo-
cate the advantages of Industrial train
ing for the negro, because it starts the
race off on real, sure foundation, and
not on false, deceptive one. From
the beginning of time agriculture has
constituted the main foundation upon
which all races have grown useful and
strong. In the present condition of
take negro boy from farming COM
munity and educate him about every
thing in heaven and earth, educate
him into sympathy with everything
that has no bearing upon the life of
che community to which he should re-
turn, and out of sympathy with most
that concerns agricultural life. The
result Of this process is that In too
many cases the boy thus trained fails
to return to his fathers farm, but
takes up his abode in the city and
falls in too many cases into the temp
tation Of trying to live by his wits,
without honest productive employ
ment. But would you confine the ne
gro to industrial life; to agriculture,
for instance? No, but l would teach
the race that here the foundation
must be laid, and that the very best
service which any one can render to
what is called the higher education is
to teach the present generation to pro-
vide material or industrial founda-
ton"

THEY GIVE UP KLERKSDORP.
Beers Surrender Important Town to tn

sues the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:

p.m.-Klerksdorp surrendered on June
9th to an armed party sent on by Hun
ter. Kitchener reports that the Beers
attacked a reconstruction train early
this morning few miles north OF
Rhenoster River. He sent out mount
ed troops and drove off the enemy be-
fore they could do damage. One man
was killed and eleven wounded, in.
Guiding two officers. A messenger from
klerksdorp reports that Cronje, who
commanded there, determined to sur
render as soon as he knew for certain
that Pretoria was in our possession.
His example has been copied by many
in the neighborhood. The courthouse
is now said to be full of arms"
By the peaceful occupation Of
Klerksdorp the British have gained
strategic position Of some Importance,
as the town is not only the terminus
of another railroad to Johannesburg,
but it is within easy reach of the
roonstadVierfontein railroad. The
Cronje who surrendered the place Is a
son Of the famous Gen. Cronje now a
prisoner at st. Helena. The son was
prominent during the siege of Mafe-
king. Apart from the fact that Lord
Roberts dispatch comes direct from
Pretoria, showing the telegraph line is
reopened, the only other point Of in
terest is the fact that the Beers whom
Gen. Methuen was reported to have so
utterly routed have recuperated suf-
flciently to attack a reconstruction
