CIRCUS LICENSES.

Citizens Object to Location in Certain
Neighborhood.
Mr. o. H. Budlong and others recently
protested against the issuance of any Ii
cense for & show or circus on the lot at
North Capitol and NJ streets. The protest
was referred by the Commissioners to the
attorney for the District for an opinion as
to whether they have authority to amend
section IA of article XIII of the police regu-
lations relative to the location of such ex-
hibitions. The section in question provides
that no circus shall be located. operated or
conducted on any lot or open space without
the written consent of a majority of the
residents within two squares in each direc-
ton from the place where it is proposed to
locate 1t. The Commissioners desired to
know whether they are authorized to so
amend the section as to require the consent
or all the residents directly opposite the
designated lot or space and of two thirds
of the residents in the adjacent two squares
on either side.
Their attorney today advised the Com
mlssioners that they have the authority to
amend the section in the manner indicated
if, in their judgment, the public comfort
and the quiet, and the protection of prom
erty require it. The location of a circus or
snow, says the attorney, is unquestionably
Mt subject for police regulation.

lieves that such exhibitions and similar en-
tetainments should not be held within the

Four Thousand Beers Going Toward

A dispatch to the London Standard from
Bioemfontein. dated Tuesday, says:
Four thousand Transvaalers from Coles
berg trekked on Saturday and Sunday to
the northeast. going by way of the Basu-
toiand border. They will probably be
caught at one of the passes.
A striking feature of the advance on
Bfoemfontein was the abandonment of our
communications with Poplar Grove Lord
Roberts, confident in the ability OF his trans
port to meet all the immediate needs of the
army, deliberately left the enemy at Abra-
hams Kraai to do what they liked. The
result fully justified him. The enemy to
the south were paralyzed by the boidness
and rapidity of the stroke, and Gems. Glenn
ents and Gatacre were enabled to cross
the Orange river almost without opposition.
Praised Naval Brigade.
Lord Roberts, while inspecting the naval
brigade on the plain outside of Bloemfon-
TEN, in the presence of many of the towns
people, addressed the men. thanking them
for the excellent work they had done in
the course of the campaign.
He wished good luck to those who were

that the others would be present at the en-
try into Pretoria.
