An AmicabIe Adjustment of All Differences Will be
 Made Today.

Buffalo, N. T., May 3.-The striking car repairers of the New York Central will return to work in body tomorrow morn- ing. This was agreed to at a. joint meet ing of the Car Repairers' association held at East Buffalo tonight.

ALL POINTS CONTESTED
Correspondent Describes Situation East
 of Bloemfontein

London, May 1.-The Bloemfontein corre- spondent of the Standard, telegraphing on May 2. says:
 q have Just ridden hither from Thaba NChu along the line of our advance east of Bloemfontein. The distance is fully forty miles, and yet almost every point of concentration is contested by the enemy.
 General Bundle, with the Eighth divis- ion, is posted on our right flank, with or ders to guard a strong and boldly outlined frontal position in a country of a decidedly difficult nature. There the Boers have posted a number of guns of superior weight and range to our own. However, they show no disposition to do more than keep in touch with us and to harass our advance.
 Further to the west General Ian Ham, ilton, with his division of mounted infantry, is pressing northward, encountering only a desultory fire. The Highland brigade, from Valkrants, has been engaged with General Tucker, commanding the Seventh division, has moved eastward from Karee Siding and has returned south, followed by the Boers.
 Nevertheless the cavalry, owing to the great numbers of the enemy, have been prevented from completing the movement that has intended to encircle the Boers on the march to Brandfort and the enemy is now preparing to offer stubborn oppoistion on an entrenched hill to the southeast of Kroonstad.
 They will probably abandon that position as soon as their stores have been moved north of Vet river.
 General Fuckers attempt to advance on Brandtfort showed the enemy to be in considerable strength. The colonial cavalry were engaged, and they lost twenty horses while under fire from Pompoms. The Boers were, however, driven from their position"
 The Daily News has the following from Thaba N'Chu, dated Wednesday,:
 Tn yesterdays fianking movement, Cap tain Towse and fifty Gordon Highlanders were surrounded by 250 Boers, who de- manded their surrender. Captain Towse ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge With wild cheer the Gordons rushed at the enemy, and swept them away with great slaughter. Captain Towse was blinded in both eyes by the enemys fire, and throughout behaved most hero ically"

The Meat Rill

Berlin, May 3.-Ambassador White said to a correspondent of the Associated Press today:
 While there are some features of the meat inspection bill, in the compromise form which might prove troublesome should the measure become law, I consider that, on the whole, it is a decided improvement on the original form of the bill especially in being more elastic and because its appli- cation may be made to meet to some eX- tent, the needs of commerce."

 London, May 4.-4:15 a. m.)-General Broadwood's cavalry brigade has reached fsabelfontein, 2S miles north of Thaba NChu. General Ian Hamilton is bivouaek- ing at Jacobsruhl, 15 miles north of Thaba N'Chu.
 General Fuckers division is moving east ward from Karee Siding The divisions or General French and General Rundle are in and near Thaba N'Chu. Thus Lord Rob- erts, has fifty thousand men operating clear of the railway along g. front of 40 miles. He is advancing slowly, with some suc- cess. but nothing decisive. Yet at all points of concentration the Boers appear in force sufficient to compel the British to proceed with caution. Their wide front in a rugged country makes turning move ments off hand difficult.
 The Boers, MT. Winston Churchill says, have enormous herds of cattle and f1ocks of sheep gathered in the southeast. These they are driving northward.
 . Observers at Headquarters in Bloemfon- tein seem to think that the Boers are pre- parine to evacuate Bradford and Lady, brand. The Boers still hold Thaba N'Chu district. and are estimated at 1000. They have among their guns forty-pounoer. One correspondent, wiring from Bloem- fontein Wednesday at 11:55 p. m., said the British happened to cut off the whole com- mando.
 The correspondents at Kimberley have been forbidden to communicate for several days, the deduction being that a forward movement is under way there. The Boers in Natal are restless Two hundred cross ed Sunday river Wednesday and tried to engage the British outposts.
