London, June H.-Telegrams from
south Africa indicate that the renewed
Boer activity increases In proportion
with Lord Roberts quiesence, so the
completion Of the commander-in-chiefs
enveloping movement, supposed to be
in progress, is anxiously awaited.
The news in the morning supports
the report that the Beers succeeded

that the failure of the British to prop

the railroad, Of whom twenty were
killed and 200 were made prisoners.
This has had decidedly bad effect on
the native mind and recrudesence
of unrest Is reported in Basutoland.

National Convention Meets to Nominate q
Presidential Ticket.
Chicago, June 27.-The national
Prohibition convention was called to
order soon after 10 o'clock Mt the First
regiment armory. John q. Woolley
and Hale Johnson of Illinois, and Rev.
Silas G. Swallow of Pennsylvania are
candidates for the nomination for
president. The vice presidency has
not been mentioned. If an eastern
man heads the ticket, as is considered
unlikely since Woolley's strength has
developed, then the vice presidential
nominee will be from the. west. As
the politicians In the party figure 1t
now, Woolley will be nominated and
the east will be asked for running
mate.
1t Is known that the committee on
resolutions In the national convention
will be asked to declare on issues
which some Prohibitionists regard as
wholly outside the scope Of the party.

workers were undeniably the most
confident people In the entire push"
Of delegates, politicians and specta-
tors when the Republican state con-
vention assembled at IL o'clock. Those
engaged in pushing the gubernatorial
candidacy Of the Saginaw colonel
seemed not only to have held their
delegates together during the night,
but it was conceded that their strategy
in making combinations had proved
more clever than that Of the large and
influential following Of ID. Nj. Ferry
Of Detroit, or the crowd which had
come In from Lansing and many west
ern Michigan towns to boom the gov
ernorship candidacy Of Secretary Of
State Stearns.
days, and perhaps longer. The feeling
seems to be that dark horse candi-
dates for governor will stand little
show, as the delegations assert that
they will fight, as now aligned, for
long time.
The convention was called to order
man of the state central committee.
After an invocation by a clergyman,
Hon. Daniel p. Markey Of Port Huron
was introduced as the temporary chair
man and delivered a speech.
After the various district delegations
had announced their members Of con-
vention committees the convention
took a recess until 2 o'clock. Up to
the time of reassembling none of the
three leading candidates had apparent
ly gained any notable advantage. Vic
tor Nj. Gore of Benton Harbor was
made chairman Of the committee on
resolutions, with Herbert NJ. Cole Of
Detroit secretary. Both are Ferry
men. Sybrant Wesselius was made
chairman of the committee on creden-
tials. He is an enthusiastic Stearns
man. The committee on permanent
organization voted to make the tenn
porary organization permanent.
