Weather Was Fine but nll the Rivers
Are Flooded from tho Recent Ruins
Roads Almost impossible.

London, April 21--420 a. m.-General
Chermside and General Rumble are
moving over sodden roads. Rain was
| still falling when they went into camp
Thursday afternoon eighteen miles
west of De Vets Dorp. They hold the
| railway and the southern frontier of
the Free State with 10000 men. How
many are going with the generals who
will engage the Beers at Wep"ner is
not mentioned in the latest dispatch
from Oorologsport, where the British
bivouacked Wednesday night. The
field telegraph ends there. On Thurs
day the Beers still had Colonel Delgat-
ty closely penned.
There has been nothing in the dis
patches from the front tonight to con-
firm the earlier report that fight was
ir progress north of Bloemfontein.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph telegraphing Fri
day says: THE weather Is now fine.
The enemy still holds the waterworks,
and our scouts report that the Beers
have line of posts and small COM
mandoes fifteen miles east of Bloemfon-
tein from the Modder river to the Kaftir
river"
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Morning Post telegra phing Thurs
day, April 10. says: There is already
a thirty-foot flood of the Caledon river,
which is reported to be still rising. All
the drifts on the Modder are impassa-
BILE. Traffic is temporarily interrupted
southwark, the water having washed
the ballast from the line of the rail-
way. The country about Bloemfontein
is so deep in mud that the farmers carts
are unable to reach the town. We had
heavy rain last night. Progress will
be impossible until the roads are in
better progress. Efforts are being made
to rearrange the transport to meet the
requirements of the large army In
view of the impending advance anxiety
increases among the troops concerning
the future of the garrison at Bloemfon-
tein every one hating the thought Of
being left there. There has been no in
crease of sickness"

There ought TO be one spot left In the world
where there would be something of the dignity
of reposer exclaimed another very learned pro-
lessor and altogether idle and Indifferent teach
er. In an institution whose president was work
ing eighteen hours day in his effort to force
the college up a higher plane; and at the next
meeting Of the Board there was a semi-oft1cial
intimation that the president ought to be able
to get on better and with less friction with his
faculty. Said honored alumnus of one OF
our most renowned institutions, The students
notebooks in physics for the year 1890 bring just
as high a price as those for 1898! Yet the
president of that institution found 1t Impossible
to dislodge this calcined and fossiiiferous in
structor even from his position on the Committee
on Course of Study much less from the uni

possibly exist under such a counsellor"

Mr. Owen Wister is not of the writers
who can be accused of overproduction, and it
may even be that he would profit by more in
dustrious practice. His admirers long enter
tanned great hopes of this young writer, whose
powers in vivid flowing and humorous nara
that these hopes have yet been justified. His
story in the current "Harper's," while graceful,
refined and touching, is of no remarka BILE merit.
1t is conventional, and takes special dis
tinction from its early Californian atmosphere.
The author has shown himself capable Of better

Colonial administration is a matter which be-

find in Mr. Poultney Bigelow's article in "Har-

has devoted his life to perfecting himself in the

promoted, until now he is Colonial Secretarv
