NOW BRITISH TERRITORY.

london Press. Speaks of the Free State as
No Longer in Existence.
LONDON, March 16. .- The first half Of
the cam mpaign is over. Irod Roberts ar.
rived at Modder river on Feb. 9. He
entered Bloemfontein on March IS.
Thus, in little over a month, he has eff
fected the relief of Kimberley and Lady
smith, the capture of General Cronie' &
forces and the hoisting Of the British
flag in the sapital of the Free State.
All this has been accomplished with
comparatively tTifling losses.
1t is small wonder that he is the hero
Of the hour in ngland. All the news.
papers eulogize him and congratulate
the country. They talk Of the Free
State as having passed out of existence
and d as being now one Of the shadows Of
history It is not doubted that there &5
May Yet Be Heavy Fighting,
but the genius Of Lord Roberts is looked
to for victory over all difficulties. His
grim reference to the sslate', President
Steyn is understood to show that there
shall be no ambi guilty as to the position
assumed toward the republics. The
fact that Mr.. Fraser, late chairman Of
the Free State raad and leader Of the
opposition to Mr. Steyn, came with the
.depntation to surrender the keys, is re-
garded as extremely significant of con-
siderable difference Of opinion among
the Free staters regarding the war.
@ It is said that President Kruger hates
Mr.. Fraser on account of his sympathy
with the ontlanders The demonstra-
tions Of the Bloemfo fontein inhabitants
are also regarded as. d good augury for
the future Of the British supre macy.

TARIFF LEFT OUT.

Republican Senators Reach q Partial DE-
cision on Porto Rican Matters.
WASHINGTON, March 16 The Repnb-
hcan senator's in caucus reached par
tial agreement on Porto Rican legisla-
tion. The house bill appropriating
i $4,000, 900 is to be taken up and passed
immed ediately. The bill for a civil gov
ernmentof the island is to be taken up
and disposed of as soon as possible and
| the tariff bill is to be delayed for the
4 present, while committee Of seven
senators will be selected by Chairman
Allison to try to compromise differences
! on the revenue bill and secure meas
| ure which Republican senator's generally
can support. This partial agreement
| was reached after a caucus lasting from
2 O'Clock until $50
The temper Of the debate was much
milder than that of the previous day.
As soon as IT was generally understood
that the tariff features of the legislation
We're to be postponed the decision re-
Verted to the governmental features Of
the bill and upon this subject the time
was mostly spent Senator Foraker
Explained Many Features of the BIN
and was frequently interrogated SO that
he was on his feet q great deal of the
time. He was questioned by different
senators, most Of whom seemed to know
the effect of different provisions of the
bill. 1t was intimated that the bill
could be amended If not satisfactory
and senators opposed to tariff on Porto
Rican products said that there would
not be the least objection to passing the
government bill 5
There was general unanimity as to
the wisdom of providing for Immediate
action on the 50, 0o0, 600 relief PROPOSE
ton, the opinion of all senators being
that that measure should be passed for
humane reasons. There was some effort
to have the appropriation bill, the house
tariff bill and the senate bill considered
at one time, but this was antagonized as
likely to result in too great delay in af-= !
fording the relief the appropriation bill I
was intended to give.
