Rich Country Opened Up.

BY the first of April the completion of a
new extension of the Burlington Railroad
system will open up an entirely new sec
ton of country. a territory never be-
fore accessible for lack Of railroads, but
which is wonderfully rich in mining, graz
ing and agricultural possibilities.
1t has already been completed from Al
lance, on the Burlington's line in North
west Nebraska, thirty-scven miles south
to Bridgeport, on the North Platte river.
From there line is rapidly being con-
structed, about 100 miles, along the north
bank of the North Platte to Guernsey,
Wyo., which will probably be the rail
road and commercial center of what is
known as the Hartville mining district.
A period of commercial activity never ex-
celled in the history of the West is about
to be inaugurated in the Hartville mining
region. The stock business further back
from the river Is carried on extensively,
and there is reason to believe that Guern-
sey will be n busy shipping point for live
stock.
This new field of industry is attracting
the attention of all classes of people. j.
Francis, the general passenger agent of
the Burlington Railroad at Omaha, Neb.,
states that he is every day receiving in
quiries about the new country from all
sorts of people.

THE NATIONAL CENSUS.
Its Taking will Occupy One Month,
and Will Cost S12,O0O,OOO.

The work of taking the twelfth census
of the United States will begin June L
and the enumeration must be completed
by the first of the following month. To
accomplish this vast undertaking $4,000
enumerators will be required. Over TO-
600, 900 of people must be recorded with
in thirty days and there will therefore
be an average of 100000 a day. In
towns and cities of 5000 inhabitants or
over, it is required that the work must
bc finished in two weeks, however, and
this will make the daily average still
greater.
The work is not especially remunera-
tive. 1t is estimated that the average
amount paid to enumcrators all over the
country is about $50. This is based pro-
portionatcly upon the amount of work
DONE but in any event will not run much
over this amount, except for those who
are retained for special work in getting
statistics after the census work proper is
finished. 1t is said that for some of these
the job may last for Il year or more.
1t is estimated that the census will
cost about S12,000.000 or about 10 cents
for every man, woman and child in the
United States.

HEAVY BRITISH LOSS.
ROBERTS REPORTS FIFTY OFF,
GERS KILLED OR WOUNDED.
Invasion of the Orange Free State Is
Sharply Contested, and Burghers Are
Still i'm Fighting Trim-Boer Siege of
Ladysmith Not Abandoned.

The idea prevalent in London that the
Beers were demoralized and in a condi-
tion of panic was dispelled by the publi-
cation of n serious casualty list from
Gen. Lord Roberts, without any explana-
tion of how or where the losses were
incurred. Gen. Roberts previous dis
patch, so far as il was published by the
war Office, gave the impression that the
Beers were in full retreat. making hard
ly any resistance, and aroused the expec-
tation that the next tidings would an
nounce the surrender of Commandant
Cronje's army Then came the news that
nearly fifty British officers, including two
prominent generals, had been killed or
wounded, while the losses of the rank and
file were not mentioned. There can be
no doubt that the British invasion of the
Orange Free State is being sharply con
tested, and that the Federal forces are
still i'll vigorous fighting trim,
The news from Gen. Buffers campaign
is favorable as far as il goes, but the per-
sistent report that Ladysmith had been
relieved proves 10 have been premature.
The Tugea river was crossed for the
fourth time by the British Wednesday,
but il would be almost absurd to assume

this point before the British advance in
dicates an intention to abandon the siege
of Ladysmith and the possession of terri
tory in Natal In other words. the crisis
is not yet passed, according TO the infor-
nation at present received, and all de-
pends. not on Gen. Buffers campaign,
which is now a side issue, but on Gen.
Roberts great dash at the Free State
capital.
One of the costliest actions of the war
occurred at Paadeberg drift Sunday,
Feb. Is. Gen. KellyKenny, in his pur-
suit of Gen. Cronje, caught the latter's
rear guard at Kip drift and followed the
burghers to the Beers laager at Koo-
doosrand. The drift action began at day
break, the mounted infantry driving the
Boer rear guard up the river toward the
main body, while another body of mount
ed infantry maneuvered on the right,
front and flank of the Beers. The Brit
ish main body advanced to outfank the
Beers laager on the north bank of the
river. Gen. Kelly Kenny, having seized
two drifts. found the Beers strongly in
closed and ordered an attack, with the
Highland brigade on the left and Gen.
Knox's brigade ON the center and right,
while Gen. Smith Dorrien's brigade cross
ed the river and advanced along the
north bank.
On both the north and south banks the
ground is level and the advance across
this was deadly and the British losses
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-03-01

were heavy. The British guns shelled
the laager vigorously and the Beers con
fessed to a loss of over 800 men. The
terrific shelling was resumed Monday,
when Gen. Cronje asked for an armistice.
The shelling was continued Tuesday.
A London correspondent says that the
withdrawal of the Beers before the Brit
ish advance in both the western and east
ern campaigns has been so general and
precipitate that it seems to be no longer
possible to account for it by the supposi-
tion that the movements constitute a new
and well-planned maneuver. Gen. Lord
Roberts, by rapid marches, has advanced
unopposed more than a third of the way
to Bloemfonten. Gen. Methuen has oc-
cupied Kimberley and restored railway
communication between that place and
Cape Town. Gen. French is still pursu-
ing the enemy to the northeast. 1t is per-
sistently reported that Gen. Kitchener
has Commandant Cronje's army sur
rounded.
1t is reported that Col. Plumer, who is
moving to the relief of Mafeking, sur
prised the Beers in night attack at
Crocodile Pools The Beers were in
trenched on a steep, thorny ridge. While
struggling through the barbed-wire en-
tanglements the British alarmed Boer
dogs. The barking of the dogs brought
the Beers out, and they began firing. The
British then made a bayonet charge,
when the Beers exploded dynamite mines,
and the British were forced to retreat.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-03-01

Up to Tuesday London had no light on
the mystery surrounding the whereabouts
of Gen. Cronje except the reputed remark
of cabinet minister quoted by the Lon
don Daily News to the effect that Gen.
Kitchener with his mounted troops had
Cronje completely surrounded. Reports
from Boer sources contributed nothing
toward an explanation, but rather added
to the mystery. A L0urenZo Marques
dispatch says: Heavy fighting is report
ed around Kimberley, where Gen. Cron-
je is said to be holding his own" This
dispatch is balanced by telegram from
Cape Town which says that Gen. Meth
uen's force advanced from Modder river
and entered Kimberley without lighting.
The Lourenzo Marques report is totally
at variance with recent British dis
patches.
Those who believe the prevailing ru-
mors that Cronje has been surrounded
are disturbed by an opinion which has
gathered strength the last few days that
the Boer force retreating on Bloemfon-
tein before Kitchener and Kelley Kenny
is not Cronje's army at all. but big
Boer supply train conveyed by Il Free
State commando sufficiently strong to
give the impression of IN army in retreat
The censors in Natal have carefully
concealed Gen. Buffers intentions, and,
as a result, the latter's report of the
fighting to the east of Colenso lacks in
terest. Some think that Buffers move
ment is nothing more than a dcmonstra-
tion calculated to occupy the attention
of the Beers in Natal while Roberts
moves in the Free State. Others believe
that the British are trying for the fourth
time to force the Tugela and relieve
Ladysmith but are careful to state that
their ground for this belief is that Butler
has received information that the Boer
force in Natal has already been weaken
ed by drafts to re-enforce the federal
troops defending Free State territory.
Encouraging news comes from Butler
in Natal, where he is pushing steadily
northward toward Ladysmith, though
meeting with slight resistance and occu-
pying hills and points OF vantage evacu-
ated by the burghers. Already the fourth
logged attempt of Sir Redvers has re-
suited in pushing the enemy back across
the Tugela and the planting of British
guns on Monte Cristo mountain and
Mount Hlangwani.
Lord Kitchener was hot after CronJc's
fleeing column at last reports, and had
captured over $50 supply and ammunition
wagons, together with large quantities of
cattle. The movement Of Gen. Butler
before Ladysmith resulted in the capture
of a large number of stores. This Is
taken TO indicate that the Beers are in
severe straits, else they would not give
up such valuable adjuncts to an army's

Secretary Hays Answer to Macrum Is
Given to the House.
The President sent to the House OF
Representatives Wednesday the answer
of the Secretary of State to the resolti-
ton presented by Representative Wheel
er of Kentucky calling for information
as to whether Charles Il. MaCrum had IN
formed the State Department that hs
official mail had been opered by the Brit
ish consul at Durham, and, If so, what
steps, if any, had beeu taken in relation
thereto, and what truth there was in
Macrum's charge that a secret alliance
existed between the United States and
Great Britain. The answer, at the Pres
ident's suggestion, was made more COM
prehensive by the insertion of the refer
ence to the fact that all Of Mr.. Macrum's
official mail had been received at the
State Department unopened, and that
Mr.. Macrum had not, after he left South
Africa. communicated to the department
any complaint about the opening of his
mail.
The State Department said that in
quiries set on foot Immediately after the
publication of Macrum's first statement
developed the fact that the British Gov
ernment had no knowledge of any inter
ference with the correspondence Of the
United States consulate at Pretoria, ard
the additional fact that if any such in
reference had taken place it was con-
trary to instructions. The answer of
the State Department states positively
that no secret alliance or understanding
exists between the United States and
Great Britain. 1t is signed by Secretary
Hay.
