CHICAGO, March apparently all
hope of settlement in the near future
of the differences existing between the
unions affiliated with the Building Trades

opportunity to arbitrate will be afforded
by that body, no matter what pressure
may be brought to bear by the Industrial
commission men soon to meet here.

willing to employ men, regardless OF their
affiliations continued the official state

1t is believed by many leaders on both
sides that the combination of strike and

FRANKFORT, KY, March 1.-THE

ant-extortion bill by vote of 56 to A.
The bill authorizes the state railroad

was the carrying out of the principle
planks in the platform on which the late
Democratic governor, Goebel, was nom
mated. The Republicans. in a body,
opposed the bill, and up to last night it
looked as if enough Democrats would
bolt party lines to defeat the bill, but on
the final vote only two, Representatives

pubncans against it, asssi Henry and Orr,
Democrats, did not VOTE. That the bill
will be approved by Democratic Governor

BRITISH MOBILITY.

LONDON, March S.-Lord Roberts
wired yesterday morning from Osfontein
and in the evening from Poplar Grove,
fourteen miles eastward BY an applica-
ton of elementary principle of strategy,
the Boer positions fifteen miles long
across his path have been emptied and
their holders have been obliged to retire
in confusion, consequent upon hasty
withdrawal
Nothing was done by Lord Roberts to
disturb the symmetry the deadly inge-
nuity, OF the Boer trenches in front Of
him. He sent out infantry, estimated
from the commands named at $4,000 men,
and sent 10000 horsemen and horse artil.
lery in bold sweep around the Boer left,
Whereupon the Boer center and-right be-
came untenable. Fifty British fell when
the cavalry came into contact with the
Beers.
The correspondents differ as to the
enemys strength. The Daily Nails rep,
resentative think the Beers number some
thing more than 1900. The Daily News
man estimates them at 10000. AS these
figures come from observers at head
quarters, 1t is clear that Lord Roberts
force was overwhelmingly superior. He
can scarcely have fewer than 45 600 i'm
mediately available, as the guards brl.
gade reached him from Lord Methuen
Tuesday. Lord Methuen now commands
Kimberley. some of whom have gone
toward Mafeking.
The Beers do not yet appear to appre-
ciate the mobility of Lord Roberts corps,
which was able to strike so swiftly In
this affair that the enemy had to aban-
don gun, much forage and q large
quantity of camp equipage.
BRITISH ENTER TRANsvAAL.

WACO, Tex, March 1.-THE expected
split In the Republican convention of
Texas developed at the opening of the
second days session of that body today.
Ever since the roll call vote for tenn,
porary chairman, when H. w. Mcdonald
was declared elected by State Chairman
E. IL. R. Green, of the executive COM
mittee, it was apparent that two sets of
delegates would apply for seats in the
national convention at Philadelphia
A secret caucus was held by the Fergu-
son faction, last night at which it was de-
cided that Ferguson had been counted out
unfairly, and that they would not submit
to the installation Of Mcdonald.
Mcdonald and several other leaders of
the Green faction also held caucus last
night, to select the several committees
and arrange platform. This was done,
but the names of the committees and the
platform were kept secret.
At the appointed hour this morning the
auditorium was filed to overfowing when
Chairman Mcdonald ascended the ros-
trum and raped for order. He an,
nounced the appointment of the various
committees, and was proceeding with the
usual routine business when Ferguson
asked for recognition from the chair,
which was granted. He presented a
sworn affidavit, made by one Of the sec.
retaries appointed by Chairman Green
to keep a tally on the vote for tenn
porary chairman, that he, Ferguson, was
honestly elected chairman of the conven-
ton, by vote Of 4491a to McDonaId's
APO and that being the case he desired
a new election on the ground of fraud.
Mcdonald, after a hasty consultation
with members of the executive conf
mittee, declared the convention adjourned

LONDON, March S.-Spencer Wilkinson
in the Morning Post, says:
1.-The Beer retreat is disappointing. It
reminds me of a conversation 1 had with
Lord Roberts, seven years ago, while his
guest on a tour of Puniaub. 1 wanted
to know all about certain points in the
campaign in Afghanistan, and according
ly asked him why he almost always sent
a detachment to turn the enemy. l add
ell some suggestion why such IN opera
ton might be dangerous in,lR pean
war.
Lord Roberts replied that as regards
a European war he quite agreed with ME.
but he added: You should always con-
slider the enemy with whom you have to
deal. Turn an Asiatic and he will always
CO.
Until now none of us have classed the
Beers with Asiatics, but we know at
last that so soon as their flank Is men
aced they are off. 1t looks as though re-
cent events have demoralized them. Yes.
terday's event was net quite conclusive.

DETAIL OF BATTLE.
LONDON, March THE war Office has
posted the following advices from Lora
Roberts:
Poplar Grove. Wednesday, March Z,
Evening.-We had very successful day
and have completely routed the enemy,
who are in full retreat. The position
which they occupied is extremely strong
and cunningly arranged, with a second
line of intrenchments which would have
caused US heavy loss had direct at,
tack been made.
THE turning movement was necessarily
wide, owing to the nature of the ground,
and the cavalry and horse artillery horses
are much done up.
THE fighting was practically confined
to the cavalry division, which, as usual
did exceedingly well, and Gen. French
reports that the horse artillery batteries
did great execution among the enemy
Our casualties were about fifty. 1 re.
gret to say that Lieut.. Kenwick was
killed and Lieut.. Bailey was severely
wounded-both of the Twelfth lancers
Lieut. De Crespigny, OF the Second life
guards, was severely wounded. Remain

FREE sTATERs ALARMED.
The. Times publishes the following dis
patch from Lourenzo Marquee, dated
Monday, March 5:
President Kruger's precipitated jour-
ney to Natal was due to Gen. Joubeft's
urgent representations that the opera
tions Of Lord Roberts had so alarmed the
Free Staters that they had become un-
controllable.
There is every indication OF chaos
and decentralization in the burgher ranks
The Boer losses in Natal from Tuesday
to Friday last week were So killed and
200 wounded.
"The Free State raad has been sum-
moned to meet in April"
dispatch to the Times from Modder
river dated yesterday says:
THE Beers occupy an extensive posi-
ton between ourselves and Bloemfontein
and Wineburg. They include the bulk
of the Natal forces and are under Gen.
Joubert himself. Only sufficient men
have been left behind to hold Van Rec
mems Pass and Laing's Mex. Extensive
desertions are reported during the trek.
AN engagement is imminent, which
will probably be decisive as to the whole
