Washington. June a0.-Assistant Sec
retsry Meiklejohn left this afternoon
for his home in Nebraska, where he will
spend a short vacation. Some time ago
1T vas announced that the assistant
secretary of war would be candidate
for the senate to succeed Senator
.Thurston, who Will retire from politics
voluntarily. Mr. Aieiklejohn has now
formally announced his candidacy and
is going home with the twofold purpose
of securing little rest and looking over
the political field and perfecting plans
of the republican campaign in Nebras-
ka.
The assistant secretary has been
urged by his friends to enter the sena-
torial race and 1t is said if the repub-
ilicans are successful in Nebraska this
fall the assistant secretary will be sent
to the senate as Mr.. Thurston's success
sor. AS has already been pointed out
Mr.. Meiklejohn has served number
of years in congress and as acting sec
lretarS OF war has acquired valuable ex-
perience which will stand him in good
stead when he is elected to the senate.
Both during the incumbency of Secre-
atary Alger and Secretary Root Mr..
Meikleiohn has frequently had the en-
tire responsibility of the conduct of the
war department upon his shoulders,
and he has discharged his duties in an
entirely satisfactory manner.
1t will be remembered that during the
Spanish war the sick and wounded
soldiers in the hospitals were In ne ed of
3delicacies and without waiting for all
the formalities to be gone thru, Mr..
Meiklejohn promply cut the red tape
With which the government depart
sments are bound and ordered that an
extra allowance be made to supply
these delicacles, much to the relief and
gratification of the fever stricken and
wounded soldiers.

With her keel imbedded deep in the
mud, all that remained Of the ill-fated
saale OF the North German Lloyd line
lay off Communipaw. The tangled mass
of iron and steel OF her decks bore am-
pie evidence OF the awful fate that had
fovertaken her and many OF her unfor-
ltunate officers and crew.
That numerous lives have been lost
on the burned vessel was no longer q
matter of conjecture, altho up to late
hour the full number was only guess
work. Late on Saturday night the tug
boats had hovered about In hopes OF
saving more of the poor, desperate
human beings that were penned in the
hold of the doomed craft, until the yes
sci sank in the waters OF the bay.
1t was realized then that those OF the
men on board who had not been
burned to death or suffocated had been
drowned. 1t was known that among
those who perished was Capt. Mirow.

Commandani 2Dewet's mobile burghers
are harassing the imperial troops on

at Lindley Tuesday is evidence OF the
Free Staters' determine tion to contest
the ground bitterly. Their attack on
the convoy was only repulsed after a
heavy action, in the course OF which
they We're able to bring up strong re-
inforcements
The war Office last night received the
following from Lord Roberts,: "Preto-
ria, June 29.-Paget reports from Lind
ley that he was engaged on June 26
With a body of the enemy, who were
strongly reinforced during the day. A
convoy of stores for the Lindley gar
rison was also attacked on June 26.
but after heavy rear-guard action the
convoy reached L!ndley in safety. Our.
casualties We're ten killed and four Of

Methuen found yesterday that the|
Boer lager near Nach kop and Spit4
kop had been hastily removed in the dill
rection of Lindley. He followed the emf
erny twelve miles and captured 5000
sheep and 500 head OF cattle which the
enemy had seized in that neighborhood
Our casualties were four men wounded.
Hunter continued his march yesterday
toward the Vaal river unopposcd. Many
farmers along the route have s,irrert-

Springs the terminus Of the rail
way from Johannesburg, was attacked
early yesterday morning. The Canadian
regiment which garrisons the place
beat off the enemy. No casualties Ore
reported. Lieut.. North, reported milsi'-
ing, after the attack on the construction
train, is prisoner Of the Beers"
The perslstency Of the enemy in the
Free State is the sole feature now that
dignifies the campaign with the char
acter of war, altho it must be admitted
that go long as President Steyn has
command and is able to dodge Lord
Roberts conNerging columns London is
sure to regard the situationsas resolving
itself into guerrilla warfare.
In the meantime Gen. Rotha = Trans
vaal army continues active and men
actng. Thursday it attacked Springs,
the western terminus Of the Joha hnes-
burg railway. Lord Roberts, however
apparently is content TO repel desy.ltory
offensive operations in the neislhbor-
hood of Pretoria until the pacifi$ation
OF the country south ofthe vaalshhs be-
come more Of an accomplished fact.

Judging from the performances of the

Pennsylvania will probably be credited with
the lions share of the honors.
No American competed in the running
Saturday. The visitofs confined their ener-
giles to jumping and putting the weights.
The weather was cold and wet and the
afternoon proved a trying one for the COM
