VAR DISCUSS ED IN COMMONS.
The spion Kop Di.patches-Cnuse of
 Roberts, Delay.

London, April 26-3:15 p. m.--The house of commons reassembled this af- ternoon. James Lowther, conservative,
 was heartily cheered when he gave mo- tice that he would call attention on May P to Lord Roberts recent Spion kop dispatches, anJ move the production of further papers, on the subject. George Wyndham, parliamentary secretary of
 the war office, replying to questions
 declared that Lord Roberts had made no comment whatever on General Lord
 Methuens Magersfontein operations.
 Neither, he continued, did Lord Roberts dispatch indicate that the advance was either retarded or modified by the scarcity of remounts. It was true that the expenditure of horseflesh had ex- ceeded all the estimates, and that the war office had invariably exceeded the acquisitions from South Africa. The difficulty in procuring ships had handi- capped the authorities, but already this year they had sent out 27041 horses and 17,143 mules as remounts, in addition to those accompanying the troops, and by the end of May the remounts delivered would number 42,000 horses and 23,000 mules Steps had also been taken to supply the necessary rolling stock for the railroads. But, as far as the gov ernment was aware, the military prob lem before Lord Roberts had not turned on the question of remounts or rolling stock, but on the fact that he had shift ed his base from Cape Town to Bloem- fontein, thus necessitating the recap turing and repair of the railroad and the clearing of the line of communica- tions for a distance of 750 miles on single track, with rise of 4,500 feet.
 Regarding the relief of Mafeking which, MT. Wyndham asserted, all had at heart, the house would realize that speedy relief would not be aided by di- vulging the objective of any of Lord Roberts forces.

THE BO1PD OF FINANCE.
Requests n Legal Opinion Concerning the Kimberly Avenue Bridge.

The board of finance last night de- cided to refer to the corporation coun- sel for an opinion the question as to whether or not the repairs needed at Kimberly avenue bridge shall be paid for by the city. The act of the legis- lature provides that when a draWbridge shall have been ordered the line between the towns of New Haven and Orange shall be changed to the center of the channel of West river at Kimberly ave- nue and some question has arisen as to whether this means that the change shall take place as soon as the draw bridge is ordered or not until some money is expended on the new draw bridge. The question was referred to the corporation counsel with request that in his absence an opinion be given by the assistant corporation counsel as soon as possible by tonight if possi- ble. If the opinion is given by tonight the mayor will call special meeting of the finance board to be held tonight.
 A bill from Attorneys Hamilton and Blydenburgh for legal services rendered to the board of selectmen in connection with the registration matter was receiv- ed. The question arose in the finance board as to whether MT. Hamilton's bill was legal since he is a member of the board of selectmen. The two bills were tabled for a week, The total amount of the two bills is about $200

GEN. HAMILTON,S TROOPS NOV
 MOVING ON THABA N'CHU.
Boers Driven From a Strong Position by n Turning Movement Which Is Praised by ROberts-LOsses Light PoIe-Carew's Troops Disappointed at the Fa ailure to Surround tho Boers.

London, April 6.-Midnight.-The war office publishes the following dis patch from Lord Roberts, dated Bloem- fontein, April 26:
 General Ian Hamilton yesterday drove the enemy off a strong position at Israeps Poort by a we'll conceived turning movement which was admir- ably carried out by General Ridley, commander of the Second Mounted In- fantry brigade, and General Smith Dorrien, commanding the Eighteenth brigade. These troops are to-day ad- vancing towards Thaba N'Chu. Our losses were slight, only one yet reported Major Marshall, Grahamstown Mount ed Rifles, severe wound in shoulder"
 Earlier in the day the war office received the following message from Lord Roberts:
 "Bloemfontein April 25.-Good news from Baden-Powell up to April TO- Mac laren much better. All the wounded doing we'll The, Boers captured sever al native women who were trying to escape from Mafeking, but these were turned back after being stripped and sjamboked.
 The "sjambok" referred to in General Roberts despatch is a whip made of leather, generally rhinoceros hide, usu- ally carried by the Boers.

/ distinguished foreigner that the bear i was very nutritious and he hoped ''that | In return for that he would open this
 ancient, patriotic product to the markets of China" Secretary Long spoke facetiously of the candidacy ol | Lieutenant Governor Woodruff of New
 York for the vice presidency and assur- | ed him of cordial welcome in Massa- chusetts.
 | Secretary Root in his address after re- ferring to what the army had done in
 Cuba and the Philippines said: "The sovereignty of America in the Philip
 pines is to be maintained. I will not argue whether 1t Is best that we should have been there or not. We are there. We are in Cuba through a high duty.
 The task in both places is delicate and
 difficult Can we not have for our army
 in these islands, the support, the en-
 couragement, the confidence of the whole of the American people. Can we not have the support and encourage ment of all Americans. (Cries of good,
 good and cheers) May I not appeal from partisan detraction to American patriotism for that support? The task is difficult, but not too difficult for the good faith and sincerity with which we are performing. We have sent to these islands of the sea the very best that we have, in brain, in heart in courage and in American fibre.
 Secretary Gage in opening his address said he desired to say few words which if possible might carry accurate t,c ti1,, and meaning of the new legislation for
 the government and support of Porto Rico. In concluding he said:
 Tt Is to be carefully noted that these provisions are temporary, not perma- nent. The law provides that whenever the legislative assembly of Porto Rico shall have enacted and put into opera tion a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico, by this act established, and shall by resolution duly passed so notify the president, he shall make proclama- tion thereof, and thereupon all tariff duties on merchandise and articles go- ing into Porto Rico from the United States or coming into the United States from Porto Rico shall cease, and from and after such date all such merchan- disc and articles sail be entered at the several ports of entry free of duty; and in no event shall any duties be collected after the first of March, 1902, on mer- chandise. and articles going into Porto Rico from the United States or coming into the United States from Porto Rico. If, therefore, freedom of trade with us is plain duty toward Porto Rico, that duty is recognized by law. If the per- formance of that duty is delayed, the exigencies of the situation in Porto Rico furnishes full justification for it's brief postponement. An immediate and per feet freedom of access to our markets would be worth three or four hundred thousand dollars year to certain land owners in Porto Rico. The arrange ment made carries with it the advan- tages of civil government, independent revenues and manifold blessings to all the people of the Island of Porto Rico"

April 26.-Compaint was made to-day that the girls who are to sing in the chorus which is to be a fea- ture of Dewey day have been threat ened with violence if they persist in at- tending rehearsals. The threats are said to have been made by union pick cts and their sympathizers, who accord ing to Professor Gabriel Katzenberger, have been standing guard at the en- trance to Steinway hall, where the re- hearsals take place. The unions are ar rayed against the whole celebration committee because the Dewey grand stand is being built by non-union men.

Chicago, April 26-The Evening Post says it is reported. that material men had forced a split in the Contractors association between which organization and the Building Trades council war has existed for two months, costing mill lions of dollars in wages and paralyzing building operations. The report comes from a member of the committee ap- pointed by the city council. The con tractors for brick work, it is said, have been forced by the brick manufactur- CTS to agree to arbitration, thus retiring from the position assumed by the Con- tractors association that the Building Trades council must go. Some of the contractors under pressure to-day agreed to treat with the municipal com mittee and this, it is said, means the beginning of the end of one of the worst building trade strikes Chicago has ever experienced

At 5:20 o'clock yesterday afternoonl Frank Greene, aged about twenty-sev-l en years, attempted suicide at Me- Queeney's dock, near City Point Greene, who has two wooden legs, had been drinking, and was convereing with Joseph Goodwin. He bade him good bye, and walking to the end of the doclr1 stepped off into the water, only two feet deep. Then he reconsidered and hastened away as a policeman came in sight, complaining that the water was not sufficiently deep for hia purpose Greene, who IS married, lives Oh Putt nam street. An accident daprived' him of his feet about a year ago, and he8 has since been employed as a sweepar in ineNrepair shop of the ConsolidatedE railroad. The cork extremities, which he acquired at the time of his misfor- tune, initiated against the success of his effort yesterday, for like Banquo'sS ghost, they would not down, and the water was so shallow that in sitting posture his head was above water long enough to permit the re-assertion of his better self.

 Boston, April 26.-With banquet of huge proportions and amid great en- thusiasm the sessions fthe National Association of Manufacturers came to a close at Mechanics hall tonight. To this feast of good things was added the flow of oratory from gentlemen of na- tional reputation, dignif1ed and com- prehensive reviews of our national af- fairs. The banquet brought together nearly thousand people at the tables while twice that number come into the hall afterwards and listened to the speeches
 Interest in the speeches centered in that of Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to this country, and his every word was listened to with the greatest attention. He spoke of the great chances for American trade in China. Perhaps hardly less. interesting were the words of Secretaries Root, Gage and Long of President McKinley's cab inet, who devoted themselves entirely to a discussion of national affairs.
 The introduction of Secretary of the Navy John D. Long brought three long hurrahs for the next vice president of the United States Deeply as I ap- preciate the mixed character of your welcome, I never before a Boston au- dience can think myself as a guest, but I welcome their guests, especially the representative of the great empire of China" Secretary Long then presented the Chinese minis ter with a miniature bean pot, which he said was small, but he assured the
