According to Reports That
Tome From Pretoria.
CELEBRATION PLANNED
To Take Place When Mafeking is Re.
lieved-B0ers Will Attempt to Pre-
vent Junction of Forces Under
Butler and Lord Roberts.

London, March "a, 2:40 p. m. Lord
Roberts dispatch saying has has nothing
special to report is generally interpreted
to mean that he hopes speedily to an
nounce some intelligence gratifying to
the British. The optimists even deduce
from the number of minor items Of news
received that Roberts has satisfactory
news of the advance of the flying col
wards Mafeking.
In the meantime Colonel Plumer's po-
sition is arousing anxiety. He has with
him three long trains Of supplies for
Mafeking, the loss of which would be
serious, and further information about
Commandant Eloff's movements is
awaited with some trepidation in view
of the report from Pretoria that he was
isolating Colonel Plumers forces near
Gaberones.
Well Informed people in South Africa
are however, more hopeful than the in
habitants of this city.
The former are preparing all kinds OF
celebrations to take place on the an.
nouncement of the raising of Mafeking's g
siege. A world of honor is in readiness
for presentation to Colonel Baden-Pow-
ell.
A dispatch from Maseru, BasutOland,
under yesterdays date seems to dispose
of the story that General French was
fighting yesterday but it indicates that
battle is imminent.
From elsewhere come stories of Beers
rallying at various points. Kroonstadt
is we'll entrenched and General Joubert
is preparing to make determined stand.
while the Beers in the eastern districts
have been asked to rally at Ficksburg,
northv'ard of Ladybrand In the Orange
Free State, doubtless with view OF at
tempting to intercept the junction of
forces commanded by Roberts and Bull
ler
Another Boer force at Fuersmith,
southwest of Bloemfontein, is in def
ant mood SO the southern part of Orange
Free state is not yet subdued.
Sir Charles Parson, c ommanding a
column in the western district composed
of Canadians and others, has arrived at
Vanwikesli between which and kcnhardt
force of insurgents is reported to be
entrenched.
Colonel Herchmer. commanding the
Canadian mounted rifles, is GONZALES
cent at Carnavon and will rejoin Parson
Sunday.

On a Hooking Valley train that left
Toledo Monday morning were eight
travelling men, and they naturally be-
gan talking politics. They were men
who travel all over the United States
and are posted on all the leading topics
of the day. Seven of the gentlemen all
declared their intentions of voting for
Bryan for president this > ear, although
they. had all voted for Mckinley in '9G.
The other member of the party, who is
Republican, stated that he would
vote for McKinley's reelection, but he
conceded that nine-tenths Of the trav-
cling men and all the hotel keepers In
the country would cast their votes for
Bryan. One of the gentlemen who was
one of Hanna's aides in '96, said that
the election of Democratic president
this year never looked more favorable
than at the present time and that big
surprise would be sprung when the
ballots were counted.

rights in the premises is not for dis
cussion now. There are some things

OBJECT LESSONS IN ADVANCE.

The Republic Iron and Steel company,
the trust concern, has issued another
edict, closing more mills. This time
eleven plants get the order to shut
down, one Of them the plant at Leeto-
mia. The trust is making good every
claim that has been made by the Demo-
cratic party. Fostered by the Repub-
lican party, under the influences sur
rounding the Mckinley administration,
the trusts have had their own way,
even to getting legislation never in
tended to affect them unfavorably, but
on the other hand to offset unfavora-
BILE legisla cion. The result Is that they
have become very bold and cannot wait
till after the election to show their
hand, which Is the only unwisdom they
display SO far as the conduct of their
affairs for personal gains Is concerned.
Their action in thus closing down mills
and throwing men out of employment
cannot now be explained nor can the
effect be offset by specious pleas or
want of confidence" fear of the sue
cess of william ]. Bryan on the credit
of the nation" and lot of rot Of that
sort that was worked off in 1896. When
a workman is approached with an ex-
cuse of that kind this year he may be-
come inquisitive enough to inquire who
owns the mill that is shut down and
may have a pretty general notion why
it Is shut down. Save the menace to the
republic itself this present menace to
the breadwinners of the nation is the
vital issue. If the trusts are to control
prices and products entirely. the wage
Garner may as we'll lay aside what little
independence he may have left and be-
come a mere serf at once. The closing
of mills and factories means that mef
are out Of employment and ceasing tt
earn wages. Merchants are interested
in that feature and growers of wheat
and other staples are interested. On,
who hasn't capital cannot long pur.
chase commodities, and when he can
not buy them the man who has then
cannot sell them. The trust question II

will later develop into the superlativ'

motorman applied the electric current,
which started the machine. In an in

willing hands hurried to assist the un-
fortunate young man. He was tenderly

this? Who is to reform the one to the
