WAR NEARLY ENDED.
Government Omcials In London
Think the south African Struggle
- Is on It's Last Legs.

~ London, Aug. 31.-There is very
buoyant feeling in the city, the clubs
and the public offices, and in fact in
london generally due to the prevail
ing impression that the South African
war is running out to it's last dregs.
Lord Roberts last dispatch shows
that the salient points on both wings
of Gen. Botha's position have been
carried in Buffers advance. The
troops occupied Machadodorp, Presi-
dent Kruger's most recent capital, on
Tuesday. The Beers evacuated this
place with great precipitation, but
this was probably due to knowledge
of French's movements.
The British cavalry general had
worked right around the north of the
Boer lines, and was almost opposite
Buffers position and few miles away
from him at Elandsfontein. Thus, I'M
less the Beers had decamped hastily,
they would have found themselves
caught between two British columns,
and could scarcely have saved their
guns and transport.
President Kruger and his chief off
Gals are at Nelspruit, about 60 miles
from the Portuguese border, and on
the railroad between Pretoria and
Delagoa bay.

The platform declares any act that
legalizes the liquor traffic to be treason
able to the moral law and inimical to
the perpetuity of government, and de-
mands that all lesser issues be held in
allegiance and that the campaign be
centered upon the single issue of pro-
hibition in state and nation.

The new Croton dam at the Cornell
site is built in an approximately north
and south line across the bed of the
Creton river, about three and quar-

Hudson. 1t will cost about $4,000, 900,
and be the largest and most extensive
yet built on this continent, and in ex-

the grain, he discovered that hen had
