BOERs AT LADYBRAND.
The Dispatch Telling of It Ia
 Not Strictly Reliable.

London, March 29.-A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, dated Tuesday, March P, says the apparently reliable reports that the Boers axe re-entering I.aGy ybrand cause the presumption that the British troops have crossed the line of the Boer retreat towards Kroonstadt, and that fight or sur render near Ladyorand is imminent. As Masern dispatches are no. distin- guished for their accuracy, and as the British force near Ladybrand, under Col.Pilcher. is quite small. nothing very definite seems likely to result from the operations.
 MafekinR Still Holding Ont.
 Further advices from Mafeking, dat ed March 16, reiteratS ~hat all was well there. and that the cordon was not so tightly drawn, the Boers allow ing natives to pass through their lines, which they had previously ior- bidden.
 Boer Prisoners Escaped.
 The native refugees are reported to he too stupid and lazy to work or take cover from the shells. They gather in crowds around the soup kitchens. and have 10 be driven away when the warn- ing bell rings.
 The bombardment. just previous to the dispatch being sent, had been un- usually vigorous, and it was added that 1t was probable that before long the rations would be still further reduced.
 Two Boer prisoners escaped from the camp at Simonstown, March 26. The sickness there is unabated, and many of the prisoners are in serious condition.

QUEEN OF TRAGEDY COMING.

Madame Modjeska's far famed por-
trayal of Lady Macbeth at the Opera
House on Saturday evening differs from
that of other players in that she adds
to the character touch of feminine
charm and softness, which is to a GER
tain extent an attribute of the great
woman, and explains her power over
Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is not so much
the demon in the hands Of Modjeska.
but the calm, insinuating and ambitious
woman, taunting her husband with
eowardice, and goading him on by ten
derness, then passion, to the murder Of
Duncan and when he falters, seizing
the dagger and advances herself to do
the terrible deed. In the banquet scene
she is collected and cool, reassuring her
guests while Macbeth raises the ghost
Of Banquo, but finally in the sleep
walking scene, we see the woman
broken in nerve and heart, all happi-
ness gone forever nothing left in life
but unrest, a terrible picture of re-
morse. In this great scene Modjeska
reaches the limit of art. She is a vision
of unearthly beauty, weird but magnifi-
cent, in her face the depth of despair:
in her voice the most profound pathos.

evidence. RI
It would naturally seem that these
cases. having been 'winnowed out OF
the mass by a most exhaustive process,
in which appeals are amply allowed
and the claimant is offered a wide op-
portunity for proof, represent the most
difficult and intricate of all those pre-
sented and passed upon. Yet the
houses OF Congress, with a force
wretchedly inadequate for even a cur
sorry examination OF the papers, con-
tinue to attempt to adjudicate these
claims, in the hurry OF the session, in
the press OF other business and in the
face Of the knowledge that the claim
ants appear with a prejudice against
them by reason Of their former rejec-
ton.
The Pension Department is careful,
thorough and minute In dts examina-
tions and is often compelled to reiec,
claims that 1t is satisfied are meritori-
Gus although not within statutory pre-
scription. Such claims it should be the
dnty OF the bureau TO recommend to
Congress for relief by special bill, and
Congress should refuse to consider any
special pension bill without such rec
ommendation. or, at least, without an
opinion from the bureau. BY this
means justice would be done the
worthy and the unworthy would be
barred.
