GRANITE CUTTERS STRIKE.

Boston. March 6.-At meeting Of the
ratification committee of the Granite
Manufacturers association of New Eng
land the committee refused to ratify the
agreement entered into between the
Granite Manufacturers association of
Barre, VT, and the Barre branch Of the
Granite Cutters National union for IS
cents an hour and an eight-hour day.
This action means a downrightrefusal
OF the New England association to allow
one of its MEMBERSHIP Barre associa-
tion-to carry into effect the agreement
entered into with the cutters of that
place. This will leave but two courses
TO be pursued by the Barre manufactur-
Frs, either to break the agreement with
the cutters or withdraw from the as

WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.

London March 6.-Dspatches from
South Africa show that fighting is going
on both in Cape Colony and the Orange
Free State.
General Brabant reports that he at
tackled and captured some Boer positions
near Dordrecht, and the operations show
that Beers still remain in considerable
force in northern Cape Colony.
General Brabants advance was most
satisfactory. After marching and
bivouacking over night the force
reached the strong intrenched positions
which they occupied and now hold the
Beers being on the opposite hill. The
British remained in the captured po-
sitions, although the Beers brought two
guns into action and made a determined
effort to retake them. The British loss
es are six killed and IS wounded.
The chief interest, however, centers in |
Roberts operations in the Orange Free |
State, and news of heavy fighting may
now be expected at any moment.
General French found large force
posted in a strong position on a kopje
within few miles of Roberts camp at
Osfontein. He opened fire and the Beers
replied with heavy gun.
The dispatches also show that the
Beers are collecting a large army at
Abraham's Kraal, a position 30 miles
east of Paardeberg. Joubert is said to
be concentrating the whole of the Lady
smith forces, with large numbers of the
Free Staters, at Abraham's Kraal, and
this movement would indicate that
Roberts will meet with fierce resistance
before he is allowed to reach Bloemfon-
TEN.
The most serious news from South !

law has been proclaimed in several of ,
