FRENCH
And Hutton are Pursuing the
Beers

LONDON, JULY g7-11:59 p M-The
war office has received the following dis
patch from Lord Roberts:
French and Hutton continued the pur-
suit on July 25. The former crossed OIL
phants river and from the high ground
on the east bank he could see Mlddleburg
and the enemy retiring n great disorder.
The main road north was blocked for
several miles with horsemen and wagons.
The enemys rear was then seven miles
north. Mounted forces were stil west Of
the river Night was closing in; the
rain was falling in torrents, and so it
was impossible 60 follow. The right was
terrible In addition to the rain, strong
west wind made the blvouac most un-
comfortable. One officer, I regret to say
died OF exposure, and the mortality
among the mules and oxen was great
The men made light Of hardships and
were in famous spirits when l saw them
yesterday.
Hunter has occupied Fourierburg and
so far as / know, did not suffer loss. He
found Mrs Steyn, wife Of the ex-presi-
dent, and several of our men whom De-
wet had captured at different times and
whom he was unable to send to Mach
adodorp.
1.-THE enemy in the Bethlehem hills are
now closed in upon. Harrismith is the
only line open, and it will not be easy
for them to reach there with guns and
wagons.
Barron reports from KrugersdOrp that
he has reconnoitered the railway to Bank
station, where the train was wrecked
on July 49, and has been enabled to re-
plensh his supplies.
"Methuen's column, which reached the
Krugersdorp Potchetstroom railway is
now moving on Potchetstroom
"Buller reports that the railway was
opened to Heidelberg yesterday, giving
as through communication to Natal"

a Good Thing About Letting the People

Know 1t.
If you've something to sell that re-
ally intere is them, is that they'll
come and investigate. Human nature
is much the same the world over, and
If you tell them OF it curiosity and
self-interest will cause them to lnves-

Telling of it in your advertising is
the economical and surest way to ac
quaint the largest number, for all
readers are buyers and the most intel

are those who persistently and intelli-

Telling 1T to the Leader passes il

buyers-those whose patronage will
give any store prestige, whose buying

LOCAL INSURANCE SITUATION.
Prospect That Board of Underwriters
VIII Reduce EXpenses.

Since the withdrawal of the nine local
ire insurance companies from the board
OF fire underwriters of the District, and
the failure of some seven or eight other
companies that had been suspended from
membership in that organization to enroll
themselves again, the revenue of the boa I'd
was very sensibly diminished 1t is now
understood that a cut has been made in the
expenses of the board. Formerly it had
four salaried offices-a secretary, a stamp
clerk, an electrical inspector and survey
or of risks The salaries of these officials
as well as the ordinary expenses, were met
by the money paid in by the companies
represented in the membership. Each com
pany was assessed certain percentage
upon the business done by that company
in this District
Naturally, under such system, the local
companies, as they did about half of the
local business contributed about half to-
ward the expenses of maintaining the
board. Now. as all the local companies but
two have withdrawn, the revenues of the
board will be diminished about one-half
unless the assessment of the members is
Increased. 1t Is understood that the board
is preparing for the future and has decided
to cut the garment to suit the pattern and
reduce the expenses to harmonize with the
income In prospect
Some of the insurance men are interest ed
to know what Will be thought at the main
offices OF the agency companies If 1t should
doing business in this city, which will be
done If 1t is decided to maintain the board
on the same scale that has hitherto pre-
vailed. In that case, these companies will
have to make good the deficit in the rev
enues of the board caused by the with
d{awal of some fifteen sixteen compa-
MES. 1t Is, however, pointed out that If it
has been difficult in me past to maintain
rates with only one company on the out
side, how will 1t be possible to maintain
the organization when the number out of
the fold is many times as great?
This conundrum and others affecting the
future of the fire insurance business of the
city, 1T is hoped by those interested, will be
solved with the advent of cooler weather
and the return to the city of more of the
people who are engaged in this line of
business.
At present nothing Is being done, and
there Is no change in the situation The
companies which are still members of the
board are writing risks on houses and fur
niture at the reduced rates, the promulga-
ton of which caused the breach in their
ranks while the companies that went out
of the board are adhering to the old rates
or writing the new rates, just as they see
mt. 1t Is hoped that in some way, which
no one seems to have any very definite
idea about, 1t will be possible after a while
for all the companies to get together on
common basis without first having a fra-
ternal fight.
