THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Lord Roberts has occupied Bloem-
foutein, and when the news reached
London last night there was great re-
joicing. The occupation Of the Orange
Free State capital is considered there
to mark an epoch 10 the campaign,
though it is felt that the severe test OF
| the British troops is yet to come, when
the rugged Trapsvasl border is reach
ed.
The entry of Lord Roberts iuto the
town was opposed but slightly. There
was firing for shert time by small
body of Beers, who soon retired. The
! main body OF them, Including the army
of about $4,000 which was recently al
Abraham's kraal northwest of Blosm-
fontein, is believed to have retired
farther north.
Lord Roberts 10 his disoatch ar =
nouncing the occupation says il wss
accompl shed "by the help Of God and
by the bravery Of her Dsjesty's SOL
diers." He also says that number OF
the local officials met him Two miles
from the town and presented to him
the keys Of the public offices. The
British lag was ra sad oyer the Capitol.
LORD Roberts refers to "Mr. Steyn, late
president" This is regarded as sigolfi-
can't of an intention to set up u British
government for the Free State.
The Beers along the north bank OF
the Orange river are now caught be-
tween two British forces. 1t is b..
lieved that an effort will be made to
capture them.
The Beers in Natal are reported fsom
British sources to be strongly posted
near the junction of the DrskensberR
and Biggarsberg mountain ranges.
They have heavy guns in position a. &
number of places. The British are re-
constructing the railway from Lady,
smith north ward toward Dundee.
Colonel Plumer has arrived at Lobat-
81, 40 miles north of Mafeking, on his
way to relieve the latter place. He re-
ports having dispersed q number OF
Boer outposts.
Lord Salisbury's reply to Presidents
Kruger and Steyn causes bitter disap.
poiotment, and State Secretary Reiiz
says it means that the war will have to
be fought to the bitter end.
An answer to the cablegram of Lord
Salisbury refusing to negotiate on the
basis of Boer Independence is under
consideration at Pretoria and will he
forwarded. 1t will deny that the Beers
have onuexed British territory, will re-
peat that the occupation of such terri
tory was for strategic reasons Only and
will express the determination of the
republics to fight to finish.
President Kruger has predicted that
the British will never reach Pretoria.
Montagu White confirms the rumors
that the Beers will utterly destroy 10

Do NOT WANT GEN. MILES.-Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, commander of the
United States army, has been invited TO
visit Savannah, Ga, with Admiral
George Dewey next week and his nc.
ceptance has brought forth vigorous
protest by several leading Confederate
veterans against the action OF the local
committee in inviting Gen. Miles to be
the guest OF the city.
The veterans declare that Gen. Miles
should not be welcomed because it was
he who put Jefferson Davis, President of
the Southern Confederacy, 10 irons dur
ing bis imprison ment at Fort Monroe.
They say Gen, Miles Is responsible for
the punishment of President Davis and
have started Q discussion of the old
question as to whether it was Gen.
Miles or Secretary OF War Dana who
caused the irons 10 be put on Mr.. Davis.
The Dewey reception committee will
ignore the protests and will eudeavor to
make the reception of Ger. Miles dou-
bly, cordial and pleasant.

He Was Texas, Boss Killer.

"The most successful killer our
State ever had was the redoubtable
Ben Thompson, who, during his
comparatively brief existence, re-
duced the census more than any one
individual who ever hourished in
the Southwest. Somebody asked
Ben one day during the height of his
career the number of victims that
had fallen before his unerring six
shooter. After rejecting a moment
Ben replied that he had killed twen-
ty-six, not counting Mexicans and
negroes. Thompson was. in his so.
Der moments, quiet and gentleman
ly, but when drunk a desperate, and
as deadly shot as ever drew gun,
being able to operate two pistols at
the same time with fatal effect,
His end came in San Antonio in
1883. He was fairly riddled with
buckshot in a variety theatre of that
town, through orders of the proprie-
tor of the place, whose partner
Thompson had killed.

DIVIDING THE SPOILS.

Paardeber g, March 1. Delayed
The Boer lager lately occu-
pied by Cronje's forces, is being
cleared and everything useful to
the army has been taken away
by order of Lord Roberts, aud
now the British privates have
been given permission to take
what is left. Some have return
ed to the British lines with cook
ing utensils, clothing and books.
The Boer prisoners were parad.
ed yesterday and all appear to
be pleased beyond measure over
their relief from the Modder
river death-trap. They all chat
freely with their guards and ex-
pressed great admiration for the
Highlanders. They say that the
retreat from Magersfonteln was
frightfully managed and that a
panic started when the march
began, many deserting.

PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE.

PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE.
Washington, March 2.-The
president today sent a message
to congress in which he stated
that the United States has col.
lected on products imported into
this country from Puerto Rican
points under the Dingley tariff
act S2,095, 455.SS and will con-
tinue to collect under that act
until congress shall otherwise
direct. He asks that the amount
collected and to be collected be,
without waiting for the general
Legislation now pending, subject
to the appropriation for the ben
eft of the island. Richardson
(democraD of Tennessee said he
hoped the presidents recon men
daIion would meet with favor at
the hands of the republicans,
who hal loudly applauded the
message.

INTELLIGENT Wharf Cats.

"Cats are not given credit for half
the intelligence they deserve" said
'longshoreman at prominent port
the other day. eff you doubt this
statement come down along the river
front and watch the wharf cats.
They are as wild as can be, but you
can't fool them; neither could you
drive them away from the wharves.
They live down among the pilings
and subsist on rats or whatever re-
fuse they can find They are most
ly seafaring cats, that have lived on
shipboard, and that have been left
behind when their vessels have sail
ed. They go ashore to stretch their
legs, so to speak, and their ship goes
off without them. From that mom-
ent you can't drive them away from
the pier on which they were left.
They always seem to be looking for
their ship to come back, and some
times it does, and then the cat is al
most frantic with delight. OF
course they might jump aboard any
vessel, and would probably be wei
coined, but they rarely do that. They
want TO get back to their own
homes

She realizes the fact that Roberts

DR.. Leyds says the Beers are

The WInberg country is like that

has his hands full relieving the

The Ideal Town Boy.

There is nothing more to be pit
led than the ideal town boy-the
youth brought up entirely within the
walls of sand, brick and stone and
upon pavings of asphalt, declares
Victor Smith. Such a boy never
learns the name OF a tree, never gets
glimpse of animal life, of crops,
Of nature in any but an artificial
dress. He doesn't know enough to
feed chickens. Let me illustrate
Here is a bright young man of IL to
whom was presented white Wyan-
dotte chicken ''in statu pupillari." ="
After the second day he returned to
the giver with long, sad face to
say that the orphan did not seem to
be doing well, and he feared it would
die. "What is the matter:" he was
asked. Note the reply of the "town
boy" "Well. he eats enough, but
can't digest his food There's a
great lump in his throat" Poor fel-
low didn't know that q chicken has

RELIEF OFLADYSAIITH.


London, March From the
meager accounts received it
seems the seige Of Ladysmith
was raised none too soon, as the
garrison was in grievous straits.
Gen. Butler reports that they
subslsted upon half pound of
meal per day per man, supple
mented by horse and mule flesh,
and that a long period of rest
will be required before General
Whites soldiers are again fit for
field. The relief of Ladysmith
is the greatest British success
yet gained in the war. and is of
immense importance TO them
from every point of view. Not
only are they rid of the great en-
tanglement of the war, but 5000
troops and a number of batter
les are added to their field force.
But probably the Beers are
grievously discouraged, as the
prize to capture which they risk
ed everything, has been snatch
ed from their grasp at the last
moment. The relief of Lady
smith also enables the British to
begin a scientific scheme of cam.

THE PRAYER MEETING
The Missions and the Church.

The success of missions Is the sue
cess Of the church. The history of one
runs parallel with the other, and when
any one decries the work OF missions
1t is only another way OF decrying
church work. Had there been no mis-
sionary effort then the church Of
Christ had never passed beyond the
walls of Jerusalem. A glance along
the victories achieved in the last CEN
fury is enough TO disprove the state
ments of those who oppose mission
work as useless, and these form no
small part of the church. One hundred
years ago in heather lands there were
hardly 100 communicates in mission
churches. Today there are a million
and half members There were then
but five missionary societies. Now
there are 1870. besides hundreds of
auxiliaries. The Bible has been trans
lated into 1856 languages and dialects,
so that If they choose nine-tenths of
the human race may learn the way OF
truth. Such gains are not to be de-
spised. and they may be regarded as a
promise of what the coming years may
hold of success Presbyterian Banner.
