GAME FoR THE STATE.
Protective Association Receives Much Ma
teriai Encouragement.


President Alfred d. Poole of the
Delaware Game Protective Association
has received q great deal OF encourage
ment relative to the movement to re-
stock the State with choice game. Un-
usual interest has been manifested in
all of the counties and the prospects
for accomplishing the desired result
are bright. Several substantial con-
trihutions have been received and
others are promised. Two persons have
each contributed $50 and another has
promised 800. One gratifying feature
is that the money is being received
from all parts of the State, and as
rule people interested havc been
swelling the fund according to their
means. Most of the contributions have
ranged from 81 to SO.
Mr.. Poole is pleased to note that
gunners in the lower part of the State
are exceedingly active in, the matter
and the clubs formed by them will no
doubt bring about good results. All
persons subscribing to the fund will
have hand in the distribution of
game and this will insure the placing
of the birds in all parts of tho State
for the benefit of people In all sections.
s AZ order has. been placed Tor an
additional 100 dozen birds, making 200
dozen ordered so far, and it is expected
Isthat many more. will be distributed IN
the near future. II the interest nov
being shown continues and there ~
every reason to believe it will enough
birds can be secured to make Delaware
favorite State for gunners. Restocs- ,
ing is necessary, however. and tho
game association deserves great credit
for the step it has takon and the
encouragement should be liberal.

THREATEN A BIG STRIKE
NEW YORK CENTRAL EMPLOYEES
AT BUFFALO ISSUE ULTIMATUM.


BUFFALO, N Y, April 29-The strik-
ing employees of the New York Central
at this point have given the company un-
til 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to grant
their demands. If the concessions are
not granted by that time it is the inten-
ton of the strike leaders to extend the
strike, and they predict 1t will be the larg-
est in the history of railroads of the
East.
A strike leader said tonight that he and
the strike leaders had arranged their
plans so nicely that within twenty-four
hours of an order tomorrow afternoon
$4,000 men would join the strikers should
the situation demand 1t.
The New York Central strikers say they
have induced others toadelay action pend
ing a reply from officials of the company.
After comforting with railroad officials,
Chief of Police Bull consulted with May
or Diehl and the corporation counsel and
then promulgated an order, declaring an
emergency, and calling the entire police
force on duty.
An important conference was held to-
day between Commissioners Delehanty
and Williams, of the state Joard of medi-
alton and arbitration, and the committee
Of strikers, headed by Chairman A. NJ.
Fisher At the request of arbitration,
the rock bottom terms which the men are
willing to accept from the New York
Central were presented. They include a
general increase in wages, and the re-
employment of the old union men who
were discharged. In response to the
question as to whether suggestion to
compromise would be acceptable. the re-
ply was a prompt negative and that
there would be no settlement until the
road agreed to a uniforms scale of wages.
Commissioner DelehantE urged thar this
plan be abandoned until. after an effort
had been made to ADJUST difficulties with
the New York Central To this the ex-
ecutiye committee agreed.

RELY ON THE HORSE.
Roberts General Advance May Not
Begin for a Month.

LONDON, April 30.-The Morning Post g
BlosD1fontein correspondent, In a dispatch
dated Saturday, protests against Mr..
Wyndham's reply in the house of com
mons, which undertook to disconnect the
delay in Lord Roberts advance to the
lack OF horses. He says:
'On the contrary, the necessity for a
large and ever increasing supply of re-
mounts cannot be too urgently insisted
on. The sacrifice of horsefesh in the
past is as nothing when compared with
the possibilities of the future. The area
across which a cavalry screen must be
thrown will necessitate an immense
strain, and the consequent gaps must be
filled as fast as they occur.
For another month the general ad-
vance will be worth next to nothing, and
the continued feeding of horses on nitro
genous matter Is certain to cause dis
eases arising from hot blood
The Sixth, Fourth, Ninth and Eleventh
divisions will participate probably In the
direct advance. The transport Of the
Sixth division viii be utilized to pro-
vide for the mounted infantry, but the
transport of the Third division will pos
sibly supply its place. There are rumors
that the advance Will be made in many
columns, but I do not anticipate much
subdivision"

itants, and the welfare of the city gen.
orally, to be in any danger OF defeat at
the hands of a man who has nothing to
commend him to the voters of the SEVENTH
other than Republican nom,nat- on. The
doctor is large property owner and tax
payer in the Seventh and has been for
years identified with its advancement He
was member of the park board when the
boulevard project, which has done so
much to beautify the residence portion
of the city, was started, and has done
much to carry out the ideas that were
formulated during his membership on the
board.
His efficiency as school inspector at
a time when the city was practically
without schools, and level-headed bust
ness man was necessary to the develop
ment of the educational scheme, marked
him as a man of considerable admins
trative ability. His success as business
man, and the fact that he is willing to
contribute his valuable time and expert
knowledge of men and affairs to the city
is sufficient for the taxpayers of the Sew
enth.
His broad -mindedness and liberality are
too well known to require comment. He
will make a thoroughly conscientious
member of the council is a man of large
ideas. and one in whom the Seventh ward
and the city may have every confidence.
Two years ago the people Of the Sew
enth ward were willing to entrust to
the doctor the conduct of the affairs
of the city, when he was a candidate
for mayor. At that time he car
ried the ward by satisfactory majority,
and said after the election, that the in
dorsement given him by his ueighbors
in the Seventh more than compensated
for the loss OF the executive Office.
His personal friends and business allies
are all men of influence in the Seventh,
and the regard in which he Is held is
demonstrated by the vigor with which
these men, without regard to party, are
supporting DR.. Schiffmann now. They,
like himself, are manufacturers or mer-
chants, and have large interests at stake
in the government of the city. He could
have no stronger Endorsement than their
support.
The fact that he is just now engaged
in making substantial improvements on
some of his Seventh ward property proves
DIR. Schiffmanns abiding faith In the fu-
ture Of the city, and projected building
on a large scale in the wholesale district
gives assurance that he is to be one OF
the leaders in the revival of prosperity
for realty owners.
The supporters Of the doctor make no
fight on his opponent. They simply con-
trast the interests which the two men
have in the ward, and predict that DR..
Schiffmann will carry every precinct in
the Seventh ward because they know that
his time in the council would be given
to the furtherance of the welfare OF those
interests which they share with him in
the city and in the ward.

LONDON, April so, 5 a. m-Tha onlv
dispatch from Lord Roberts since yes
terday was the usual list of deaths and
sickness. The flood of newspaper dis
patches today describing the recent op-
eratlons throws no light whatever upon
the present position of affairs. or of the
great question as to when the main adj
vance is to begin. The Standards an
nouncement that Gen. French's cavalry
are returning to Bloemfontein is clear
proof that there is no further hor,a of
capturing the retreating Beers, and the

Vers have brought 50 small a result"
Ihe Daily Chronicle remarks: I'VE are
reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts. but
II is impossible to shut cur eyes to the
fact that during the last ten iays we
have gained very little from our enor-
nous display of force. Withouc doubt
these operations have been of very ex-
hausting nature, and will entail further
delay
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Times, writing March 8, after the Paarde-
burg affair, describes Lord Roberts army
as a wreck, because it is without. horses
and without transport
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Post speaks now of the urgent need OF
the present and always of more horses.

LONDON, April So.-A special dispatch
from Thabc N'Chu, dated Thursday, de-
Bcribing the fight at Israel's Poort, which
is about seven miles from Thaba N'Chu,
says:
Three hundred Beers were strongly in
trenched on two kopjes, The place of
honor was given to the Canadians, who
advanced very cleverly under their dash
ing commander, Col. Otter. The Roers
reserved their fire until the Canadians
had reached the wire entanglem nts. Then
they opened with terrific hail of bullets.
The Canadians. however, had taken good
cover, and were not greatly damaged
They were ably supported in the assault
by the Grahamstown horse. Successive
rushes brought them right up to the
kopjes, when
COL. OTTER WAS STRUCK TWICE,
one bullet inficting nasty, but not dan
gerous wound in the neck, and the other
tearing the badges from his shoulder. But
he still cheered his men on until the
kopjes were carried. The Beers bolted
The British losses were twenty in kilel
and wounded
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Tha-
ba NChu, describing the same engage
ment, says: .,..5....-.
The British artillery shelled the k0pjes
all day from three positions. The Boer
positions were extremely well chosen, con-
sisting of long range of very precip-
itous hills, with narrow poorts (passes)
between, commanding vast extent of
country.
The mounted infantry made a wide
turning movement, while the foot infan-
try advanced within 1000 yards under
good shelter. During the afternoon the
battle became general and extended over
a frontage Of ten miles. The rife Maxim
and artillery firing was deafening.
At o'clock the
CANADIANS ADVANCED
In open order, but meanwhile, a terrific
fire prevailing they took shelter in the
donga. When they finally captured the
kopjes, the Beers were seen retreating
north and east with wagons, and subse-
quently, when the infantry made dash,
the rest of the enemy fired few shots
and cleared off.
On occupying Thaba NChu quantity of
supplies was found to have been left by
the Beers. The natives complained of
having their. cattle stolen and of cruel
treatment. The English residents suffer
ed from taunts and Insults
Yesterday the Boer reinforcements from
Brandfort came too late to help their
comrades.
A heliograph message was found from
President Steyn saying it was unadvisa-
bic to send more troops to Fourteen
Streams as the Federals were already too
weak between Bloemfontein and Kroon-
stad and that there were 10000 British at
Bloemfontein. The farmers around here
have been forced to join the enemy
Most of them have taken their sheep and
cattle along.
BOERS RETIRING
The. Standards special correspondent at
Bloemfontein, telegraphing Saturday
evening, says:
Reports have just been received that
the Beers are retiring to the north of
Ladybrand. Their horses are exhausted.
and they themselves disappointed over
their failure to capture Col. Dalgety's po-
sition- The British cavalry, who are pur-
suing the fugitive commanders, are re-
turning to Bloemfontein
