THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
Nationalists' Victory Q Great Blow to
 tho Republicans.

Paris. May 7.-2:15 a. m-Although it is fully recognized that the nationalista intended to make determined fight in all the wards of Paris on the occasion of the municipal elections held yesterday throughout France, it was never seri- ously contemplated that their efforts would be crowned with success as is shown by the results, which must ba recognized as dealing serious blow to the republicans and radicals. The re- suits show fifty elections in Paris In thirty wards second ballots will be nec- essary. The nationalists have gained eight seats The successful candidates include NM. Gaston- Mery, Galli, Le Pel- letter and Barillier. The republicans have secured eight seats, including sev- en members of the old council, the radi- calls and radical socialists ten, and the conservatives eight. In wards where second ballots are necessary the nations alists obtained the most votes in all cases, but the total votes boiled by their competitors was higher than the num- Der obtained by them.

GEN. HUNTER,S ADVANCE.
Heavy Fighting of Barton's Brigade
 Roers Leave ID nd on Field.

Warrenton, Sunday, May 6.-Yester- day General Barton drove from 2,000 to 5000 Boers from hilly positions at Roof dan, where they awaited them. They retreated after stiff fighting, leaving number of dead on the field The Brit ish casualties were slight. General Barton is still pursuing. Windsorton and Klipdam have been evacuated. Gen eral Paget's brigade is attacking the Boer position at Warrenton.
 Later.-The engagement yesterday was severe and lasted from 9 in the morning until in the afternoon. More than once the British infantry were obliged to engage the Boers at close quarters and the. Boers only retired when their retreat was nearly cut off. The British losses were five killed and twenty wounded, mostly Welsh Flu sileers. The British took a batch of prisoners including the Swedish ambu- lance, which was allowed to return. The Boers in their hurried retreat left thir- teen dead. To-day General Paget made strong demonstration against the Boer position east of the bridge, thereby pre- venting endorsements going to assist in checking General Barton's advance.

THE -isHaNTI UPRISING.
Gov. Mitchell Reports That It Hns
 Grown More Serious

London, May 6.-The colonial office
 has received the following dispatch from
 Sir Frederick Mitchell Hodgson, gover-
 nor and commander-in-c chief of God
 Coast Colony dated Kumassi, April 27:
 The situation, regret to inform you,
 has changed for the worse. On April
 23 a force was sent to clear the rebel
 forces to the eastward. Four members of the consta bulary were killed, and a large number of the rebels were killed or wounded. On April 25 the Ashants surrounded the town in great force probably ten thousand-and made a de- termined attack The Hausas were obliged to-evacuate the cantonment and to concentrate around the fort. The en- gagement lasted four hours. Twenty of our native allies and two Hausas were killed. The present occupants of the fort number 35S, inclusive of eighteen Europeans, six of whom are mission aries It is necessary that further rein forcements be sent 50 the Gold Coast"
 Sir Frederic Hodgson. under date of April 30, telegraphed: Yesterday a se- rous attack was made by the rebels, but they were routed on all sides with great loss. Two members of the con- stabulary were killed and ten wound- ed. contingent of Lagos constabu lary, under Inspector General Alpin, has arrived after two days severe fighting The column was attacked Asagu, which was taken, with the loss of one killed and twenty-three wounded, among them Alpin, slightly.
 "On the following day the contingent was attacked two miles from Kumassi by 5000 rebels. There was great loss on taking the stockade across the road. several Ashantis there had arms of pre- cision. After desperate fighting the Ashantis fled. Two members of the were killed and 133 wound ed, including Assistant Inspector Read, Have been unable to send letters or telegrams through"
 Under date of May 3, Sir Frederic Hodgson wired that the rebels were massed eastward and that he had made a demonstration the previous day with two guns, inf1icting great loss. One of the native auxiliaries was killed. The colonial office announces that in addi- tion to the Lagos constabulary, rein have been sent to Sir Fred eric Hodgson from the Sierra Leone frontier police and from the West Afri- can frontier police, in northern and southern Nigeria.

MALLORY LINE PIER BURNED
DIS1STROU TIRE ON THE NEW
 YORK, WATERFRONT.
Loss Estimated at S1, ,0Oo, ,ooo- several Barges Moored Nearby Also Destroyed The Pier Was 200 Feet Long and 50 Feet yvide-Stenmers TOwed Into Mid- stream to Escape Danger.

New York, May GA fire that started at the river end of the Mallory Line steamship pier at the foot of Maiden Lane and the East river early this morning completely destroyed the pier and it's valuable contents. The police place the loss at $1,000,000 Several barges that were moored near the pier were also destroyed. Only one life was lost. The nine-months-old daughter of Captain Charles Lochs, of the barge Sherwood, was drowned
 The Mallory line pier was 200 feet long and fifty wide. The pier shed was filled with valuable freight of a miscellaneous character, but mostly cotton. On the north side of the pier were moored g number of coal and cotton barges, while on the south side was the steamer San Marcos and a number of barges.
 Three large vessels were lying so near the blazing pier that their safety was endangered. The steamer San Mar cos, the steamer Nueces, which were lowed out into midstream and the bark St. James, the rigging of which was burned before she could be lowed out of harms way.
 The scene on the water was q most exciting one, for the river was filled with craft nearly all of which were en- gagged in towing the various vessels and barr+s to safety from their dangerous positions. Four cotton barges others laden with corn meal and some loaded with coal, caught fire and were destroy ed, some of them were also sunk to pre- cent the further spread of the flames. A number of buildings on South street were scorched and several were emptied of their tenants, who feared that the buildings would be burned.
 Henry Mallory said regarding the fire: T have no idea how the fire started, and l can form no adequate idea of the loss. The entire pier is destroyed to- gether with the offices and other build- ings on the bulk head My brother Charles sailed for Europe on the Teuton- ic ten days ago. and he will remain abroad two months notwithstanding this catastrophe. cannot tell what our plans will be, nor when we shall begin to rebuild. Our books and other documents were destroyed, and I cannot say anything about the insur- ance at present. The only positive in that can give is that fortu- nately at the time of the fire there was not the usual amount of freight on the pier as the Comal sailed at o'clock on afternoon. and cleared up most of the overflow I positively can not fix the origin of the fire, give the amount of damage or approximate the amount Of insurance"

STRUCK BY I TROLLEY CAR.
Liverymnn Cannon's Exciting Expert- | ence Saturday Night.


 John M. Cannon, the liveryman and undertaken had an unenviable experi- ence Saturday evening while riding up Chapel street in a carriage. MT Can non's carriage had reached the corner of Olive street, when a trolley car came up the street at a rapid rate of speed. The car was crowded and a number of men were standing on the front plat form. This probably prevented the mo- torman from seeing the carriage and the car was close upon 1t before the bell was rung. The carriage was going up Chapel street and the driver hearing the gong close behind him, turned on his box and saw the car coming rapidly and almost upon the carriage. He quickly pulled the horses to one side and off the track out of the way. The carriage. however, was so close to the track that the car struck it about in the middle. Mr. Cannon and a woman were inside and they were greatly startled when the car crashed into the side of the carriage. The window was smash ed to pieces and the glass flew about them, but fortunately neither was in- jured, although they were considerably shaken up. The panel of the carriage was wrecked and one wing was broken. It is probable that had the driver not acted quickly in turning the team off the track one of the horses would have been badly injured

OCCUPATION OF WJNBURG.
Little Doubt That the British Ha>e
 Entered the Place.

l London, May T, 4:10 a. m.-Lord Rob- one had dared to hope and is meeting with success at all points. The only news of the actual occupation of Win berg is the incidental reference to it in the despatch from Vet River describ- ing General Pole-Carew's operations, but as the latest news of General Hamilton's operations, dated Saturday
 morning, was that he was then prepar- ing to force the passage over Little Vet river on the Bloemfontein-W Winburg road there need be no doubt that the news of the occupation is accurate.
 The Boers, following their customary practice, had evacuated their positions on the Vet river during Saturday night. As Lord Roberts, advancing along the railway and General Hamilton, twenty miles to the east threatened the two wings of the Boer forces, 1t would not be surprising to hear that they had also evacuated Winburg. General Hamil- toms advance will prevent the Boer forces in the direction of Thaba N'Chu joining their main army near Winburg
 General Rundle on Saturday had ar rived in pursuit of the Boers seven miles north of Thaba N'Chu compelling the Boers to retire in an easterly direc- ton.
 A Boer account of the capture of Brandfort says: ''The federal forces, although weak in numbers, offered strong resistance, but they were forced by the overwhelming force opposed to them to evacuate the town"

MIDDLE-OE-TIIE-ROAD POPULTSTS.
Arriving for National lConvention-Op-
 position to Fusion.

Cincinnati, May 6.--The advance workers for the national convention of
 middle of-the-road populists which will meet on Wednesday arrived to-day. They are all opposed to fusion. J. A.
 Parker, secretary of the national com mittee of the middle-of- f-the-roaderS, who has been here several weeks ar-
 ranging for the convention, was joined by many others to-day. They claim
 they represent a large majority of the
 peoples party, that in the contests at
 state conventions the Sioux Falls fu-
 sionists carried less than 300 of the 975
 delegates, and that the convention at
 Sioux Falls this week will be one of ex-
 cursionists with a minority of delegates
 as they claim that over two-thirds of
 the delegates were instructed by their
 states for the Cincinnati convention,
 which will keep in the middle of the
 road" They also claim that their call is in accord with the Omaha rule of 1892 excluding all officeholders, and charge
 that the Sioux Falls convention is in
 charge of Senators Butler, Allen and
 Pettigrew and other offlceholders, the same as republican and democratic con- ventions.
 The Sioux Falls convention cannot de- liver a vote to Bryan that would not go to him as the regular democratic nominee. Any action the Sioux Falls convention may take will only embar- rass Bryan and give his enemies in the democratic party chance to hammer him. He would be much stronger as a thorough democratic candidate than as a fusion candidate. and if the leaders of the Sioux Falls convention were real- ly for Bryan they would go about the matter in way to accomplish his >elec- ton. They would openly join the dem ocratic party and help to elect its nom- inees.
 Asked about the charge of Senator Petigrew that Senator Hanna was help- ing the convention, MT. Parker said: Tt is false. The fusion leaders see that the peoples party has repudiated them. This has driven them to the extremity of trying to impugn the methods of those who are behind our movement. We expect nothing else but a campaign of islander, but we propose to meet 1t as it deserves. In truth, this whole work has been accomplished and all expenses of the convention paid for with $700, the amount contributed by the convention league of Cincinnati. The, fusionists buncoed Sioux Falls out of s5500, which will make their delegates cost over $20 a head, I should judge, but we were un able to get anything more than $700. Of course, all of us who have done the pre- liminary work have worked without re- and we have had to dis pense with music and all extras. But we are here for business and not toscut l a swell, and propose to do the best we can"

DOZEN TORNADOES IN KANSAS.
Reported From tho Central Part of the
 State Yestcrday.

Kansas City, May 6,-No less than a dozen tomatoes of more or less severity are reported to have occurred this af- ternoon in Saline Ellsworth and Bar ton counties in Central Kansas, which join each other. At Ellinwood, Barton county, three persons are reported kill ed. Other storms are reported near Ellsworth and Kanopolis ill Ellsworth county and near Brookvile, in Saline county. Near Kanopolis eight distinct funnel shaped clouds developed within radius of six miles, four of them large ones and two of which are known to have travelled over the earth for a space of tWenty-fi minutes. One of the storms tore down all of the out buildings, granaries and wind mills on the Waite farm. three miles of Kanapo- lis, and another tore down the house and barn of a farmer north of Els worth.

His Reference to "Lewd Actress" in
 Speaking of NethcrsOle,

Washington May 6-The Rev. pr. Chalmers Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian church, made a statement to his congregation at the close of 1is sermon tonight with reference to the suit for islander instituted against hll1 a few days ago by Miss Olga Nether- sole, the actress. He said in part:
 When l quoted the words led ac- tress' in speaking of Miss Olga Nether- sole in the role of 'Sapho' l had refer ence, not to her personal character, of which I have no knowledge, but to the character of the role she is playing I had not the slightest intention of de- nouncing Miss Nethersole's personal character, but that of the person she impersonated involving as it does wide spread and pernicious influence upon society. This explanation is given so as to be as public as the original dis courses"

GEN, HUNTER,S OPERATIONS.
stout Resistance of the Boers-1he Re-
 lief of NIafektug

London, May 6.-General Hunters progress, although slow is satisfac- tory. The idea that the relief of Mafek- ing is in sight however, appears to have been premature, as the Boers in that quarter are still stoutly resisting the British advance. According to a dis patch to the Daily Mail from Cape Town special expedition to the westward left Kimberley a few days ago and will endeavor to relieve Mafeking, while General Hunter and Lord Methuen are operating on either side of the Vaal riv- CT in conjunction with Lord Roberts army.
 From Lourenzo Marquez come various rumors that Colonel Plumer has been reinforced and is again advancing to- ward Mafeking. Another report says that M.afeking has been relieved, and General Lommer with 5000 Boers cap tured at Fourteen Streams. Women have been placed in the government of- fees in the Transvaal in order to re- lieve the burghers for active service. Two New South Wales Lancers who es- capped from Waterval prison have arriv- ed at Delagoa bay after a dangerous journey.
