NEW YORK, April 25.-A prominent
Wall street authority says:
Interest has lately been attracted to
the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad
issues. The first fiscal year for the
new company will expire in May, and
the report for that year will show a
handsome increase owe preceding
years. The directors will meet some
time in May, and it is understood that
they will then decide on what the poll
icy will be regarding dividends on the
first preferred stock.
1t is estimated that the net earnings
will show not only the full dividends
on the first preferred, but a substan-
tial surplus applicable to dividends on
the second preferred. While there is
no doubt as to the payment Of divi-
dends on the first preferred stock, it is
not expected that dividends will be be-
gun On the second preferred until they
have been earned for a full year.
The company will be largely benefit
ed by reason of the lease of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie coal mines to the
Hanna syndicate. The present object
is to increase this output to 1000, 900
tons per annum, and this increased
tonnage will be carried by the railroad.
The work of reducing the grades on
the line of the road is progressing
rapidly and will be completed by No
vember 1. When this improvement is
finished it will result in a material re-
duction in operating expenses.

Report of Relief OF Mafeking Not
Clear.

Lourenzo Marquee. May N.-The
Standard and Diggers' News confirms
the report of the relief of Matching. 1t
gives a confused account of The vents
preceding. An engagement was fought
Sunday near Maribogo, and the relief
forces cut through the Boer lines, en-
tered the town and began bombarding the
Beers, who retreated. The Beers had
two killed and one wounded. The Brit
ish loss is said to have been considerable.
The British are reported as fleeing, but
no explanation is given.
London, May 1.-The Lourenzo Mar
quez correspondent of the Times, tele-
graphing Saturday. says:
Recent arrivals from the Transvaal
declare that the burghers have lost all
confidence in their ability to withstand
the British, that they are dlsheartened,
disguised and sick, and that their de-
sire is to return to their homes. Presi-
dent Kruger. anxious to prevent the
war from fizzling out, is using his int1u-
ence to bring about one last heroic
stand.
The future tactics of the Beers are
a mystery. The foreign officers urge the
defense of Pretoria.
A fracas occurred between the Port
tuguese police and some sailors of The
Netherlands cruiser Freisland. Three
| sailors We're injured by the bayonets OF
the police.
