Gave Themselves Up to the British Com mandant at HcilbrOn-HuttOn At- tackled by a Large Force of BurShers- He Easily Cuts Them On-Boers Re- ported Defeated in the TrnDsvnnl.

London July 9.-Lord Roberts tele- graphs to the war office from Pretoria under date of July g, as follows:
 "The officer commanding at Heilbron reports that State Secretary Blignaut, of the council--Vantander and Kupper- vergen-eame in yesterday and surren- dered.
 Hutton was attacked yesterday in a. position he was holding by large num- Der of Boers. He cut them off without much difficulty. The fve-inch guns with him were found most useful. Our only casualty was Lieutenant Young of the First Canadian Mounted troop slight scalp wound. The enemy left several wounded on the ground and sent flag of true with request that they might be recovered in our field hospital.
 T regret to say that Captain Currie and Lieutenant Kirk of the Imperial Light Horse, who were reported wound ed in my telegram of yesterday, were both killed. One squadron of this dis tinguished corps pressed a very severe force of the enemy in gaNant attempt to carry off a wounded comrade, to which they attributed the heavy loss sustained. In addition to the officer, a farrier sergeant and three troopers were killed and the sergeant-maj jor, three sergeants and seven troopers wounded"
 Lord Roberts dispatches reveal the Boers as unusually active both in the Orange colony and the so-called paci- fled western Transvaal, but without producing any serious impression upon the British arms. The bond leaders at the Cape are extending their boycott of British firms, and Dutch companies with e200.000 capital have been form ed

 The Cape Town correspondent of the Standard says. under date of July g. r"The postofiice authorities have issued a notice that civil mails have been sus- pended for Johannesburg. This, with the fact that telegrams for Pretoria are refused caused uneasiness."

Times Is Doubtful.

London July 10.-The Times this morning says: Some Chinese officials are evidently desirous to have it be- lieved in Europe that the legations in PelSin are still under the protection of one section of the Chinese army. But that only makes it more remarkable that they should not employ the only convincing argument by allowing di- rect communication between the minis ters and the outer world. We do not wish to insist too strongly upon this aspect, but those circumstantial rumors Jack the confirmation so easily supplied if they are true"

 Mems union, at the West End Coliseum. Tomorrow morning a o'clock was
 the time fixed for the renewal of the
 boycott on all the company's lines
 When the strike was settled on July ?
 there was discomfort among the men over the terms of settlement and since
 that time the dissatisfaction has grown
 daily. Charges were made that the company had failed to keep the agree ment of July 2, and dozen or more instances were cited tending to prove
 that there had been breach of faith.
 Several meetings were held during the week and committees were appoint ed to procure proof of infidelity on the part of the company. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Railway Mems union held on Saturday, a batch of affidavi.s were presented to the eff feet that men had been employed by the company since July 2, in violation of the terms of the agreement of that mass meeting of the street railway men .

 Fred W. Lehman, attorney of the company, offered to submit the question as to whether the company had broken faith to Joseph Follkes, counsel for the men, and bound the company to abide by MT. Folkes' judgment in the prem ises. The proposition was ignored and by a unanimous vote the strike was re- newed. member of the executive committee said to-day that this was the second time the company had broken faith with employees. "There will be no Ia awlessness or demonstration of violence this time said the committeeman. 'The whole trouble seems to hang up- on a question of facts, the men insisting that the company had violated it's agreement, while the company, on the other hand, mphatically denies that such is the case.
 The men claimed yesterday that a verbal agreement was entered into con- 1 with the written agreement. l and under the verbal agreement the company had agreed to re-employ all ! the old men in sixty days, seniority in 1 the service determining the priority of | re-employment.

affairs was at Bergholz Niagara County, where
the league has a branch. Seven -eighths of the
people there are COMMUNICATIONS, and they

voted for Bryan.

Mr. Thoma yesterday. They realize that the

who in 1898 were reduced to want remember the
hard times of that period The country mas en-
joyed great prosperity since 1897, and that fact
also is remembered. We have three leagues in
Niagara COunty-at Niagara Falls, North Tona-
wanda and Bergholz. In Buffalo and Rochester
we are organized in every Assembly district, as
we are in this city In Utica the Germans are
almost unanimous for Mckinley and Roosevelt
and have received many acCeSSlOnS from
among the Democrats We are now organizing
leagues in GIoversville. Amsterdam, Rome and
Oswego. Eight weeks ago there was feeling
everywhere that thousands of Germans who
voted for Mckinley in 1896 would this year be
for Bryan This due TO some extent to MI

In an interview on Saturday the veteran
Democrat John D. Crimmins made strong
plea for Mckinley and honest money. which
will doubtless have a great influence on laboring
men. Mr.. Crimmins has been one of the most
extensive employers of skilled labor in the coun-
try. He has unusual opportunities for coming
in touch with the leaders of labor opinion. He
has made it his business in the last few weeks.
feeling a deep personal interest in the issue of
the Presidential election to exchange views
with many master builders and foremen in the
building and other trades of New-York. Mr..
Crimmins's conclusions as to the stake organ
lied labor has in this campaign and as to the
present prospects of a victory for sound money
in November are well calculated to spur the
friends of the gold standard to serious exertion

of organized labor. He said:
