ern Route.
Kruger Said to Have Stated Thai
he Will Soon Retake Bloem-
fontein.

LONDON, March 81 .-2 30 p. M The
reports that Lord Roberts will remain
at Bloemfontein another month are
probably intended for Boer consump.
tion and the recent movement Of troops
and other Indications point to prepara,
tions being well advanced for a forward
movement. The entire silence Of the
cables is regarded as significant.
The fact that the Boer telegrams an.
nouncing the bomb dment Of Mafe king
Monday and Tuesday do not claim any
success, is accepted as proof that they
met with none, and hopes are enter.
tanned that it may prove to have been
the final effort to reduce the place be.
fore raising the siege. It is now sug.
gested that the apparent inactivity Of
the British at Warrenton is merely de.
signed to impress the Beers with the no.
ton that they are checking the Mafe.
king relief column, which, in reality, is
advancing by a westward detour.
Color is lent to this view by the an.
nouncement that a column of 5000
mounted troops, commanded by Col
onel Drummond and accompanied by
three batteries, pontoon train and sew
5eral wagons Of ammunition, passed
Barkly West, March 26, on an extern
sive march, the objective Of which is q
strict secret.

AMENDED LOUD BILL.

Reported to the House With Some OBJ
jectionab1e Features Eliminated.
WAsHINGToN. March 31.The Loud
bill, relating to second class mail mat
ter, was agreed to in an amended form
by the house committee on postofices
and postroads. This bill was recently
recommitted by the house by the COM,
mittee because of certain objections,
raised. The amended bill eliminates.
the points Of objection, particularly that.
referring to country newspapers.
In its new form the bill is quite brief
and is as follows:
That mailable matter Of the second
class shall embrace all newspapers and
other periodical publications which are
issued at stated intervals, and as fre-
quently as four times a year, providing
that nothing herein contained shall be
construed as to admit to the second class
rate publications purportingto be issued
period Ideally and to subscribers, but
which are merely books or reprints Of
books, whether they be sold by sub
scrlption or otherwise. or whether they
purport to be premiums or supplements
OF parts of regular newspapers or peri
odicals.
Section 2. That news agents shall
not be allowed to return to news agents
cF publishers at the pound rate nnsold
periodical publications, but shall pay
postage on the same at the rate Of one
cent for four ounces . NJ

Interstate Commerce Law Declared to Be
Useless As 1t Stands.
WASHINGTON, March 81. The senate
committee on interstate commerce
heard arguments in support of the prop
osition to amend the Interstate com
merce law by James NJ. Langley Of the
Merchants Association of New York,
Edward P. Bacon, grain merchant Of
Milwaukee, and 81. F. Dousman Of the
Chicago board Of trade. Mr.. Langley
said that he represented 81, 900 of the
largest business houses in the United
States, 1000 of them being in New
York. They wanted the hands of the
interstate commerce commissioners
strengthened, Mr.. Langley said, feeling
that .'they were as much at the mercy
Of the secret rate harpies as prior to
1887. = Z.
Mr.. Bacon thought the law should
either be mad !. effective or stricken off
the books. He also expressed the opin-
ion that the interstate commerce COM
mission should have the power to con-.
vict in cases where the members were
convinced Of violation Of the law, even
where the proof did not reach the strict
technical requirements.
Mr.. Dousman complained especially
of discriminate in rates on the part Of
the railroad companies and wanted the
law SO amended as to put stop to the
practice.

HAS FAITH IN CUBA.

Sir William Van Horne VIII Invest Com
siderable Capital There.
New YORK, March 31.-Sir William
Van Horne, chairman Of the board Of
the Canadian Pacific, has just returned
from Cuba, where he intends to make
extensive Investments in railroad and
other properties. He said that the re-
port of his acquisition Of all the Cuban
railways was very much exaggerated.
while my Investment is not quite
as large as has been stated, yet Ihave
confidence enough in Cuba to invest
some money in the enterprises on the
island. I am very much impressed with
the excellent condition Of affairs down
there, principally due to the efforts Of
Governor General Wood, and I believe
that when the United States getready to
grant self-government to that people
they will be well ready to take care Of
themselves. .

Bill to Prohibit Sale of Liquor In Our New
Possessions.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-A large
delegation from New z ork, Philadel-
phia and other cities appeared before
the insular affairs committee of the
house, in behalf Of the bill introduced
by Mr.. Gillette Of Massachusetts, to pro-
hibit the importation into, sale or man
ufacture of intoxicating liquors in Porto
Rico, Hawaii or the Philippines. They
adduced many facts to prove that, espe-
cially in the Philippines, there had
been large increase in the sale of in
stoxicating liquors since the advent of
the Americans, with drunkenness and
other attendant evils, and urged that
entire prohibition was the only remedy
for the condition Of affairs existing and
prospective. Among those who spoke
were Rev, j. B. Dunn of the National
Temperance society, Rev. E. @. Din
widdie and Hon. s, 3. Nicholson Of the
National Anti Saloon league, and Mrs.

PETTUS rs FACETIOUS.

Some Action Necessary In Regard to
sThat Orator"
WASHINGTON, March 31.-During the
debate on the Porto Rican bill in the
senate, Mr.. Pettus launched into one of
the most amusing speeches heard in the
senate for years. He referred to the
ignorance of law manifested by Mr..
Galinger IN. H.) Thursday, in quoting
certain Judicial decisions, and then
adyerted to ssthe wonderful defamation
we had Thursday from the orator of the
senate (Mr. Beveridge.)
'.W hen you get a genuine orator, he
is absolutely absolyed,,'' said he, ssfrom
all rules Of logic and common sense.''
Mr.. Pettus said the senate or the
president pro tenn or the senator from
Iowa (Allison) would have to take some
action as to ssthat orator. !" $5
II have to have a caucus on
him" (Laughter.) He then said that
when the Master selected a leader for
the Israelites he did not choose an
orator. He even chose suffering man.
His name was Moses, but he was not
an orator.
