GUNS NOT RECOVERED.
Lord Roberts's Account of
Boer Victory Refutes That
RumOr.


LONDON, April 8, 190a.-Fuller news of
the disaster to the British arms in the
neighborhood of Sannas Post does not
tend to improve matters from a British
point of view but with the dispatches SO
mystifying it is impossible to accurately
portray the present situation or to fore
tell the ultimate issue of Lord Roberts
attempt to retrieve defeat.
Official dispatches received in this city
up to two o'clock this afternoon add little
information to the dispatches already
sent out by the Associated Press as to
subsequent developments. They deal prin-
cipally with details of the first engage
ment.
The War Office has posted a despatch
from Lord Roberts reading as follows
.aBLOEMFONTEIN.A April 2, 1890 r. M;
in continuation of my telegram OF
March 31-There has been considerable
delay in getting accurate returns of the
!. casualties as the acuion took place tWen-
ty-two miles hence; the telegraph canLe
has been interrupted several times, cl0uuy
weather has interfered with signaling,
and although there has been no engage
ment since the force is continually IN
touch with the enemy.
There were many acts OF conspicuous
gallantry displayed during the day.
sQ' Battery remained in action under
cross fire, at 1200 yards. for SEINE hours,
the officers serving the guns as the casual
ties reduced the detachments. Several gal
liant attempts were made to bring in two
guns the teams of which had been killed.
But at each attempt the horses were shot;
ss1Hhe Essex, Munster, Shropshire and
Northumberland Mounted Infantry and
Roberts Horse covered the retirement OF
the guns from that position to the cross
ing of the drift found by the cavalry Two
miles further south and withstood the de-
termined attacks of the enemy, who. in

clear idea until this date has been arrang-
ed and put into shape"
Admiral Walker was asked whether the
Commission favored fortified canal. He
replied that he could not enter into that
subject. Our duty will be to state the

suit of our survey and work. Both routes

MYSTERY IN BABY'S DEATH
Infants Body Found in
Cellar Of the Bijou
Theatre.

The dead body of a male child about
twenty-four hours old, was found by Pa
trolman Clock this morning at eleven
o'clock in the rear cellar of the Bijou
Theatre and taken to Speer's Morgue.
The officer was at the corner of Jersey
avenue and First street when half doz-
en- greatly excited boys ran up to him and
shouted that there was something down
the cellar The officer followed the
Youngsters to an iron crate just outside
the stage entrance and looked down as
directed.
There he saw among lot of dirt and
old papers the body of child. He enter
ed the rear of the theatre and made his
way to dressing room from which a
window opened upon the portion of the
cellar where the body lay. He took up the
body, called the patrol wagon and had the
body removed to the Second Precinct
police station, whence twas taken to the
morgue.
The boys who notified the policeman
were playing about the street. One had
ten cent piece which he triumphantly dis
n1aved To his companions. In the fooling
and skylarking that followed the coin fell
from the boys hand and rolled through
the grating The boys went fishing for
it and were started 10 peIold Tue poosi
Of a turkey When they realized the truth
thew called Officer Clock.
Clock says that the grating under Whlce
the body was found is such as to make the
entrance of the obdy through it impossible
and that there was but one way to get
the body in the position in which It was
discovered. That way was through the
window Of dressing room.
The matter is deep mystery. to the po-
plice authorities who are doing every
thing possible to get at the Iaets.
DR.. Hoffman said that the child was un-
dollhtedlv born alive and was afterwards
Killed, probably by the fall to the ground
from the window

LECTURE BY DR. KRAUSK0PF
IN TFJ[PLE MfSHK4 IN ISRAEL LAST
 NIGHT.
A Large Audience Present and Heard m


 Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf of Phila- delphia delivered a most interesting lecture on Success last night in the Temple Mishkan Israel. Rev. Dr.
 Krauskopf is very prominent preacher in Philadelphia and was the founder of the National Farm school, for which the proceeds of the lecture went. As is well known this school was estab- lished some three years ago by the un- tiring zeal of Dr. Krauskopf, its ob- ject being to train capable boys for
 practical and scientific agricultural ca
 reers, fitting them for the position of superintendent of agricultural colonies to be organized among the unemployed or debilitated poor of the overcrowded
 cities.
 As the name of the school shows the school is a national affair and any boy from any part of the United States who comes well recommended will be receiv- ed if he Is qualified for the work. There is a large number of boys in the school and the training they get is practical and beneficial Colonel Ull- man in a few remarks previous to the Introduction of the speaker told of the work accomplished by the pupils of the National Farm school and said he was glad such a large number turned out to hear the lecture as nearly every seat
 in the large temple was occupied.
 Colonel Ullman then introduced Rev.
 Dr. Krauskopf, who spoke most inter-
 estingly on Success and how to attain
 it. He compared the chances of sue
 cess that man of the present time
 has to those of the men of the Orient
 thousand years ago. The lecturer
 said that in the old days 1t was great
 deal harder to be a successful man
 than it is to-day, and in an interesting
 way showed how the men of that time
 were almost universally obliged to walk
 in the path that had been trodden be- fore them.
 Tt was the custom" he said, Ito hand down a certain set of laws, so to speak, from one generation to another, saying Just what the rising generation would be expected to follow in their walks of life. There was no soul, no ambition, no feeling that the harder you work he'further you get The par ent commissioned the child with say HE'S line tHlS. IIio tiou Siioil io, This thou shalt be- Thus far thou shalt go and no farther, This thou shalt have and no more
 ''The child took up the same calling, the same dress that his father followed, and worshipped at the same church and did everything that his father did all through his life.
 Things have changed since then. A man is no longer born labelled. He comes privileged to enter the gate that is open to all men and industry sup plies the motive power. It Is our will and not another's dictation that deter mines whether he be high or low and whether we make our lives an example or not"
 The speaker then mentioned the diff ferent kinds of success and showed how ambitions of men differed. He also cited many instances of the successful man and how their success was obtain ed. Preceding the lecture there was fine organ recital given by Prof. Rice, the organist at, the Temple Mishkan Israel.
