Important Events Expected.

London, April 24.-All attention Is
centered in the interesting, though com
plicated situation in the southeastern

which developments Of the utmost inn
portance must ensue In the near fu-
ture. General Rundle. II would seem.

pending the arrival OF supports. While
Rundle is preparing to strike Dewefs-
dOrp. Generals Brabant and Hart are
pushing along the frontier of Basuto-
land, where they will be able To frus-
trate any attack on Rundle's right, and
Generals French and Pole-Carew are
Fastening from Bloemfontein to Bar
boer, on the line OF retreat northwards.
Meanwhile the burghers forces oc-
cupying Thaban Chu are in position to
ght. delaying action, giving the Rner
forces at Dewetsdorp and Wepaner
time to retire in case OF defeat AMI il
seems as though General French must
dispose of this Thaban Chu force be-
fore he can reach the rear Of the Boer
forces opposing Generals Rundle and
BraJant. Otherwise his flank will be
open To assault. The Beers driven out
of Leeuw kop will probably rally at
Thaban Chu, where a stn fight may
be expected. should the British fail,
this attempt viii bring about another
Paardeberg. 1t will undoubtedly lead
To persistent repetition of the guerilla
tactics. which have been largely re-
sponslble for the penning up of Lord
Roberts at Bloemfontein so many
weeks.
During General Aldersons advance
on Leeuw kop, the Canadian mounted
infantry sent to reconnoiter a Boer
position approached within 300 yards of
farm lying hospital nag, under
cover Of which the Beers opened such
"A hot fire that the Canadians We're un-
able To retire until another force OF

Ouay Case.

Washington, April 2i,-The final
days argument In the Quay case be-
gun at IL o'clock. McCumber, of North
Dakota, delivered a carefully prepared
constitutional argument in opposition
to the seating OF Quay He announced
that after careful consideration he had
changed his opinion.
In an extended argument, Lindsay,
OF Kentucky, presented legal constitu-
tional reasons why Quay ought not to
be seated. He held that the appoint
ment OF senators by the state executive
was provided for by the trainers OF the
constitution merely to provide for the
hling OF vacancies that may be re-
garded unexpected.
The vote on the quay case was taken
at I o'clock. The resolution which de-
clared Quay not entitled to a seat was
first laid before the senate. Chandler
moved to strike out the word mot
and on that the vote was taken.
The resolution declaring Quay not
entitled TO a seat was carried. 80 TO 37

captured besides the killed and wound
ed. The British appear to be retiring
beyond Dewetsdorp. Cronje reports
that with a strong commando he at
tackled the British northeast of Boshof.
A heavy engagement followed and the
British were driven from kopje to
Sopje. The federals displayed great
courage and spiritedly chased the en-
emy in the direction Of Boshop. only
two burghers were wounded. The
British lost fifteen men killed and left
three wounded and eight prisoners in
the hands Of theBoers."
The Cronje referred to is undoubtedly
