MA FEKING'S SORROWFUL PLIGHT.
Cheek to the Relieving Column Ter
 rtbie Dtsnpp0in tment,

London, April 25-Lady Sarah Wilson in dispatch to the Daily Mail from Mafeking, dated Sunday, April s, says: Our bread is now made entirely of oats and is full of husks. This causes much illness. There are many eases of ner- vous prostration and malarial typhoid among the garrison.
 The news of the check to the reliev- ing column is a terrible disappointment. Last Friday thirty three natives issued forth to recover some cattle which had
 been footed by the Boers. They were betrayed by unfriendly natives to the Boers, who surrounded them while they were sleeping and shot them all but one, giving no quarter. One escaped to tell the tale. The natives are now mad for revenge, and it will be a very difficult matter to control them. The lombard ment continues. Our casualties to com- batants up to the end of March aggre- gated 36S in killed and wounded"
 The Mafeking correspondent ot the Times, telegraphing Monday, April g, gives a gloomy account of the depres- sion due to the probability of the siege lasting until the end of May, and says: Tt is hard to accept Colonel Baden Powell's efforts to cheer the people by optimistic predictions in the absence of any sign of relief"

FIRE ON GREGORY STREET.
Whiting's Hosiery Factory Nearly Ds-
 stroyed Early 1'hts MSrning.

The hosiery factory of LeRoy B. Whiting in the rear of No. 116 Gregory street was almost entirely destroyed by fire this morning shortly after midnight. The fire was discovered by passerby on Gregory street, who ran over to the Dixwell avenue police station nearby and rang an alarm from box 512 at the. station house. Sergeant Dunn and Pa-' trolman Lewis hurried to the burning building and seeing that they alone could gain no headway against the fire began carrying some finished goods to- save them from the flames. While they were thus engaged an explosion occurred in the adjoining where the fire leading into the room where the finished goods were stored. When the explosion occurred and burst open the door a sheet of flame rushed in, singed Lewis hair and burned his face. Two citizens who were assisting in saving the goods were also slightly burned.
 Had there been wind it is probable that several adjoining frame buildings would have been burned. There was no wind, however, and the f1remen played hose on the nearby building and pre- vented them from becoming ignited. The factory building was a frame structure about 20x35 and two stories in height. The loss will amount to at least $1500 and MT. Whiting said this morning that it was only partly covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown.

 Presidents Address.

l Boston, April 24--After listening to words of welcome from William H. Lin- coin, Speaker James J. Myers and May or Thomas N. Hart, representing, re- spectively, the Boston chamber of com | merce. the state of Massachusetts and the city of Boston, and a response by Theodore c. Search of Philadelphia, it's president the annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers, which is to be in session for three days
 was formally opened in Lorimer hall
 Fremont Temple, this forenoon. When President Searchs gavel fell not more than three hundred delegates were in their seats, although there are probably more than double that number already in the city. Secretary Wilson announce ed the standing committees, after which President Search presented his annual report, which occupied the remainder of the morning session.
 The address was comprehensive statement of results accomplished dur ing the year by the association and it's individual members in extending trade abroad and of the legislation and other work accomplished at home. The after noon was devoted to reports of Treas urer Scheren, committee on feight and transportation and the committee on parcels post The streasurers report showed the receipts to have been 1,266 and expenses $65, ,377 for the year. In its report the committee on parcels post recommends the enactment of law by congress providing for the establish ment of parcels post system in the United States similar to the laws now in force in England and Germany and also the negotiation of parcels post treaties with other nations; and that the president of the association be au- thorized to take whatever steps in his judgment may be necessary to secure the enactment of such law and the ne- gotiation of such treaties.
