RESISTING
THE ADVANCE
OF ROBERTS.
Rear Guard of the Beers Force the
British to Act on the Defen-
ave Near Thaba N'ohu.
HEAVY FIGHTING IMMINENT.
The Advance to Pretoria Hindered
Hamilton stoutly Opposed
by General Botha.

LONDON, May 2, IA. m.-Fightlns
heavier than any since LadysmIth seems
to be Imminent near Thaba NChu.
The dispatches of Lord Roberts dated
Monday and Tuesday show that the
Boer rear guard, stubbornly resisting
his advance, forced the British on Sat
urday and Sunday to act chiefly on the
defensive.
General French, who is directing thu
operations, has at least 5000 men.
Some estimates give him 10000. The
Beers are estimated to be at least s,JO0
strong and possibly 10000.
According to a dispatch from Pretoria
dated April 2s, they were expecting to
give battle and have numerous artillery.
sododg as the Beers engage the atten-
ton Of half Of Lord Roberts force ut
Thaba N'chu. his advance toward Pre-
toria will be delayed. No one here,
however, considers that General Botha
will be able to stand longer than a few
days. The feeling Is that he must be
beaten on by the masses Of Lord Rob
erts.

Engaged for Seven Hours.

LONDON, May i. 7:15 p. m.-The war
office has received the following dis
patch from Gen. Roberts:
Ian Hamilton marched yesterday in
q northerly direction from Thaba N'Chu
with q body of mounted infantry and
Smith -Dorrien's brigade of Clements
division. At Hautney he himself was
opposed by strong force commanded
tby General Botha in person. Reinforce
ments reached this force during the day
and / directed French to strengthen him
during the night from Thaba N'ChD.
This he was able to do. as the number
Of Beers in the neighborhood OF Thaba
N'Chu had considerably decreased. In
addition TO these troops, Hamilton
should be reinforced during the day by
Broadwood's cavalry and Bruce Hamii-
tons Infantry brigade.
Hamilton mentioned that his casual
ties yesterday were about thirty.
"Maxwell's brigade OF the seventh di-
vision yesterday occupied Vlaksonters
and Schauskraal, n row OF kopjes, with
out meeting with opposition. But the
mounted infantry were engaged for
seven hours"

FRANKFORT, KY. May 1.--After

witnesses and brief arguments by coun-
sci for both the prosecution and the de-
fensc. Judge Cantrill granted the peti-
ton of five OF the defendants charged

Harland Whitaker and Richard
Combs, coioFed. The attorneys fall TO
agree upon what county the cases shall
be taken TO. The defense suggested
Bourbon county, where the next term Of
court begins the second Monday In
June The prosecution objected to go
ing to Bourbon county, bdsing the OBJ
lection on statutory grounds, and sug-
Eested q special term Of court to be held
for the exclusive purpose OF these trt-
ais in either Woodford or Scott county.
Decide To-day on the County.
Judge Cantrill took the matter under
advisement and will decide tomorrow
to what county the trials shall go. The

cording to the present outlook will take
up the remainder OF the week and will

available evidence on both sides Is con-
cerned. The routine proceedings OF the

estihg.
An OF the witnesses who testified In
the matter Of the motion for change of

Tense, through Colonel Nelson, moved
that the change OF vehtr0 be granted on

CANAL BILL OPPOSED.
For the First Time in Fifty Years Of
Agitation the House Entered Upon
a Consideration Of the Measure.

q ConSlderhClon OIL Cne measure
WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the first
time during the fifty years OF agitation
of the project for the construction of MI
iuter-oceanic canal, the house of repre-
sentatives to-day entered upon the con-
sideratIon or a measure to actually au-
thorize the building of a canal. Many
times propositions bearing upon the
subject have been before the house, but
this was the first time positive action
can be predicated. A session for debate
will be held tonight and tomorrow the
bill will be voted upon before the ad-
journment. The debate to-day was
memorable because of the unexpectedly
powerful opposition it developed.
Burton, Hit and Cannon Dissenters.
Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee; Mr.. HIT
Of illinois, chairman OF the foreign
afrairs committee, and Mr.. Cannon, OF
Illinois, chairman of the appropriations
committee. threw the weight OF thei-
influence against 1t, not because they
are opposed to the building of the canal,
but because they considered that the
time for authorizing It's construction
was not ripe. Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Hit
contended that the bill would violate the
Clayton Buiwer treaty. which guaraa-
tees the neutrality of the canal and Mr..
Cannon quoted Admiral Walker. chair
man of the Isthmian canal commission
as saying that the commission was not
yet prepared to say which was the best
route, Mr.. Cannon contended that the
authorization of the construction Of the
canal over the NIcaraguan route at this
time would delay it's building for years
and cost the government S5O,OOOOOO.

BRADLEY SPEAKS
In Defense of the Rightfully Elected
Governor of Kentueky-Makss
Strong Appeal for Honesty.

Governor of Kentucky-Makss
Strong Appeal for Honesty.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-The su-
preme court resumed It's hearing to-day
In the kentucky g0vernorshlp case, Hon.
W. o. Bradley, former governor Of that
state being the only speaker. He ap-
peared for Governor Taylor taking up
first the claim of the opposition that
Taylor had never possessed any title TO
the office. He contended that Taylor's
title was as good rs that OF any man
who had ever held the Office. This was
the first contest that the state had ever
had over that office and this contest
would never have occurred but for what
he characterized as "the iniquitous
election law known as the Goebel law.
He argued that Taylor's title was COM
plete. that he was not only de jure gov
ernor but de factO governor as well.
and that every step that he had taken
as governor was official good under the
law.
Similar to the Nebraska Case.
On the point of Jurisdiction. he con-
tended that the pending case is very
similar to that of Traver VS.. Boyd. Of
Nebraska, In which jurisdiction had
been assumed. He met the argument
of Governor Beckham's counsel that an
office was not property by quoting au-
thorlties to the contrary. Arguing this
point, he said that office was a species
OF property because 1t was a right Of
value-a privilege OF citizenship of
worth to any man. It was one Of the
rights or privileges coming under the
protection guaranteed by the fourteenth
amendment Of the constitution and
therefore subject to review by the high
est federal court.
No state could disregard the provls-
ions Of this constitutional provision nor
could any state legislature assume to
be superior to 1t, nor is q state leglsla-
ture bound to grant due process Of law.
but state courts mus: administer cases
Under the same authority. In case
like this of the governorship there was
no such thing as an appeal to the pap
pie. The adjudication was necessary,
"And why appeal?" Mr.. Bradley asked
with some apparent bitterness in his
tone of voice. "If we appeal to the
ballot box" he continued, as It not
easier now to defy the expressed will. OF
the people than 1t has been even in this
case which there has been such an open
defiance of the expressed desire of the
electors of the state?"
