ANGLO-BOER WAR SITUATION.
Looks as If Beers Were Attempting TO
Invest Bloe nj fontein.

London, April 5,-5 a. NIT looks to-
day as though the Beers had conceived
the audacious plan Of attempting to
invest Lord Roberts at Bloemfontein,
or, at least to endeavor to delay his
northward advance by harrassng the
British lines of communication On
his side Lord Roberts is concentrating
his forces and preparing to take every
advantage of the bold but risky tactics
of the enemy. He is not likely to strike
at any Of their forces until he is GER
tain of delivering a crushing blow.
The situation, in the absence OF any
official dispatches from Lord Roberts,
is both mystifying and interesting
There is little doubt that Lord Roberts
is hampered by the necessity Of re-
mounts and transports, and the loss of
the convoy of guns and all of Colonel
Broadwood's baggage was a serious
matter. The Beers are now trusting
to what they believe to be their super
ior mobility. The special correspon-
ents at the front are now denouncing
Lord Roberts policy of leniency toward
the Free Staters and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy. spec

to their Irish residence.
During the evening the queen through
Sir Arthur Biggs, her private secretary,
sent the lord mayor a message saying
that she was not over-fatigued by the
mornings drive and had been deeply
touched and gratified by the welcome
she had received The message con-
cluded as follows:
Her majesty looks forward with
much pleasure to her stay in Ireland"
Later the queen officially conveyed to
the lord mayor the following:
Convey to the lord mayor and citi-
zens of Dublin the sincere thanks Of
the queen for the loyalty and enthusi-
asm of the greeting which her majesty
received during the rocess through
the beautifully decorated route.
'"rhe queen is happy to be once more
among her Irish people from whom she
has again received SO warm a well

A FREE TRADE EMPIRE.
Britafn's Enemies Fail to Understand
What it Means.

London, April 4.-Speaking at Edin-
burgh to-day, Lord Rosebery, referring
to the wa r and the desire Of Great
Britain's continental enemies "to stamp
out this pestilential country" said that
he thought her enemies had failed to
grasp what a free trade empire meant
to their merchants or how important to
the world was the fact that whenever
the balance lay between peace and war
Great Britain was always on the side
of peace. His lordship concluded with
the significant expression that he hoped
that before long he would see the en-
pire united, not merely in sentiment,
but in constitution and fact.

pressed their feeling in alternately an

the prince.
Some fears were expressed as to the
effect which the occurrence may have
in Dublin. 1t was pointed out that such
attempts are contagious On the other
hand, those who are best acquainted
with ireland contended thta the only
effect would be to increase the deter

Patrolmen Heenan and O'Brien about
2 o'clock this morning saw clouds of
smoke rising from the iron grating in
the sidewalk in front of the store of the
Edw. e. Hall company on state Street.
On closer investigation they ascer-
tanned that a heap Of rubbish in the
front part of the cellar was shoulder
ing and they sent still alarm to
chemical engine No 1, which responded
promptly The fremen put out the
smouldering fire by means of the hand
extinguishers. But for the timely dis
covery by the policemen, there might
have been a serious blaze. The fire is
thought to have been caused by light
ed match or a cigar stump having
been thrown through the sidewalk
grating into the rubbish below. No

The NEGRO EXHIBIT AT PARIS.

In another column will be found an
interesting account of the Negro ex-
hibit at the Paris Exposition. Ii is a
plain, simple narrative of what the
world thinks of all that was sent to the
great exhibition In Paris to represent
what the black man in America has
accomplished since he was emancipated
from slavery less than forty years We
have told the story of the success of this
remarkable and unique exhibit of ours
more than once In these columns, but
of course it was net told in SO complete
a way as the statement given ts-day by
Mr.. Galloway himself, who is at the
head of this particular part of the ex.
hibition referring to the progress and
achievements of the American Negro.
Few things have been done for us in
the last two decades that have counted
so much for our dignity and capacity
as the winning of so many prizes of
high distinction in Paris last summer.
The peoples of other countries will
know the Negro American better and
think mere of him hereafter than they
have done before, for they have seen
him rated among other races at Paris
as a man who can do something along
all lines of commendable ezdeavor.
We are proud of our exh'b bit, especial
ly proud of that which was sent by our
own public schools, representing what
We have done in an educational way,
We hope that all of our readers will
note what the article by Mr.. Galloway
has to say about the impression the
Negro has made abroad.
