General Ian Hamilton's column
and the cavalry division and mounted
infantry were too far away to take part
in the ceremony. The troops looked
very workmanlike and evidently took
keen interest in the proceedings.
According to delayed dispatches
reaching Pretoria, Johannesburg was
formally handed over to the British at
IL o'clock on the morning Of May 3lst,
in an orderly manner. Lord Roberts
was accompanied by o small force.
The banks are being guarded. There
was slight engagement outside Jo-
hannesburg, and some Australian
scouts were shot In street fighting.
After this message vas sent to the
nearest British general notifying him
that the town would not be defended.
Lord Lansdowne, secretary OF state
for war, has received tho following
from Lord Roberts, dated Orange
Grove. June Cd:
Johannesburg is quiet. The peo-
pie are surrendering arms and ponies.
Only three Boer guns were left in the

Anxious To Keep Old Guns.

A movement is on foot at ST. Angus
tine, headed by Major Boyce and u
number Of the most prominent men Of
that city, 10 urge tho secretary OF war
to countermand the auction sale Of the
obsolete guns now in Fort Marion.
The object OF the petition is 10 pre-.
serve those old suns as relics, and as
samples OF warfare Of olden times.
which are quite in keeping with the
historical old fort in which they are
located. Those interested in the mat.
ter take the view that they are far
more valuable as historical relics than
they are as old iron, especially when
IL Is taken into consideration that they
will be sold at forced sale, aud so
far from market that they would
bring but small returns to the govern
ment.
The people OF ST. Augustine realize
more than any one else what the value
OF old Fort Marion and its antique
furnishings really are TO the travelling
public and the thousands Of tourists
who visit il each year, and for that
reason are especially anxious that they
be preserved, at least, and il possible,
to convert the old building into a mil
itary museum, which question has
been considered before. The old fort
is OF both local and national interest,
and it is to DO hoped that the war de-
partment will lend it's assistance i'll
bringing the matter to a successful
issue.

BULLISH DAY IN
 COTTON MARKET Shorts Were Given Bad Scare
 at Start. MANY SOUTHERN ACCOUNTS The Operations Fell Off Toward Mid day, But There Was No Serious < Setback and Market Closed
 With Strong Feeling
MANY SOUTHERN ACCOUNTS

New York, January 19.-The general un- dercurrent of sentiment in local cotton cir- cles was more bullish today than at any time of late. Shorts were given bad scare at the start by a sensational advance in the English market, the feature of the latter being rise of points in the Janu- ary delivery. The first sale of January on the local exchange was at an advance of 12 points on last nights closing, and from this level the uplift appeared down to a rise of points on October.
 Throughout the first hour trading was very heavy, with Europe easily the leading buyer. Business for southern account was almost completely to the bull, local shorts covered energetically and Wall street com mission houses purchased the March, May and August positions in a moderate way, at the same time selling the new crop de- liveries
 Toward midday the operations fell off quite rapidly, but the market held generally firm and no serious setback in prices was recorded. Early afternoon transactions were comparatively small, but later in the day business picked up.
 As the weekly statistical summaries aver aged up in very bullish form, the late feel- ing was strong. The market was finally quiet with present crop months to points higher, and net crop options unchanged to points lower
