London, Feb. Lord Roberts, com
South Africa. and his chief of staff,
Lord Kitchener. left today for the front.
This seems to indicate that an important
movement is on foot. A dispatch from
Sterkstroom, dated this morning, an
nounces that the Beers are attacking
Gatacre from two directions. The
fighting was then proceeding between
the outposts. A delayed Sterkstroom
dispatch. dated Feb. 5. says body of
troops left camp Feb. 3 and that impor-
tant developments are expected. 1T is
probable this explains Roberts depar-
ture and that he wishes either to be
present at or supervise the long g-intend-
ed movement by Gatacre to join forces
With Gen. kelly-kenny. thence strongly
reinforcing Cen French. completing the
latter's work at Colesburg and estab-
fishing without fear of serious oppesi-
tion an advanced position for the main
movement. This. of course, is greatly
supposition, and IL can be confidently
said that the departure of Roberts and
Kitchener for the front does not indicate
that the main advance has begun. The
commanders will probably be back in
Cape Town within a short time. The
term going to the 'front.' must not be
interpreted into the idea that the great
movement upon Pretoria BY way OF
Bloemfontein has seriously commenced

AUTOMOBILE STAGE COACHES.

Tribune.

bile in New York and has been ex-
rerimenting with 1t. He has en-
,,oyed it already in carrying mail
and intends to buy others to carry
both mail and passengers If the first
does not break down every now and
then In some lonely spot miles from
where it can be repaired.
The trial runs have been made be-
tween Dubois and Ellis. & distance
of $50 miles. The road runs through
sand and dust, over hills and through
the heart of the Salmon River nsoun-
tain. The automobile plowed through
the sand. climbed the hills, and sped
over the level places without mis-
hap at an average of ten miles an
hour.
The vehicle used for the expert
ments Is single-seated and is fitted
below with frame for carrying
mail. Gasoline furnishes the driving
power.
There are many difficulties to over
come before automobiles can be en-
tirely successful on the mountain
roads. Sharp rocks are apt to pune
ture the pneumatic tires, and it takes
a tremendous driving power to get
over some of the roads Moreover,
there are portions of Idaho in the
mountains which are many miles
