HARBOR NOTES.
Items of In terest Picked Up Along the
Water Front

The magnificent steam yacht Corsair
which arrived in the harbor Thursday
afternoon sailed away to the westward
yesterday forenoon. Before she left an
other small crowd of interested specta-
tors gathered about Randall & AIcAlIis-
ters wharf to admire the beautiful craft.
Mr.. Morgan came ashore with one of
his friends and visited Wyer's lobster
house on Custom house wharf. He
bought two fresh, steaming Holsters just
from the kettle and he and his friend sat
down on the barrels and proceeded to
eat the crustaceans with considerable
relish.
There was a large fleet of coaste rs
which came in yesterday. 1t included
the schooners Grace Davis Lucy A.
Davis, Laurence J. Kinds, Austin D.
Knight and Frank A Palmer.
The yacht Claremont arrived from
Bar Harbor.
The schooner Matte j. Allis brought
a cargo Of clay.
The small boats brought in about 6, 600
pounds of cod.
At Norfolk, Va, at the present time,
immense quantities of coke are being
shipped to Central America. The outlook
for prompt loading of coal at northern
ports is discouraging. There is a great
demand for coal and consequently yes
sells Will have to wait. Freights Will not
be as high this year as last. Some of the
barges will be paid premium for quick
dlscharging,
The steamer Tynedale of the Thomson
line will probably sail today having is
sued her clearance papers yesterday. She
will take out a good sized cargo.

THE BOER POWER
IS COLLAPSING

LONDON, March 10.-Whatever the
government may know or intend, the
unofficial opinion seems everywhere to
be that the Boer power is colapsing.
The eighth division has been under
orders to embark for several weeks, but
these orders, as far as the artillery con.
tingeht is concerned, have been recalled,
Lord Roberts having reported that no
more artillery from home is necessary.
This is the first pause in the reinforce.
ments since the war began. Sir Redvers
Butler, second in command in the field,
and Lord Wolseley, are understood to
also consider that no more artillery is
needed. Lord Roberts has altogether
452 guns, including field pieces.
1t is quite clear that General Butler
will not try anything large in the future,
as he is to lose Sir Charles Warren nd
the latter's 10000 men, who have been
ordered to join Lord Roberts. 1t is
said Lord Roberts, knowing the neces-
sity of garrisoning his deposits, will be
able to operate constantly increasing
force until, by the time the Transvaal
frontier is reached, he will have 10000
troops. His kilograms, dealing with
non-essentials, are taken to mean that
he is up to some mischief, as his appar-
ent inactivity usually spells uncom-
mon activity.
Mafeking, as the beleagured town,
attracts much sentiment and sympathy.
Nothing has been heard from there
since February 10th.
There is a rumor that Col. Baden-
Powell has been relieved, but this can
not be traced TO any substantial basis.
The war office, has issued the follow
ing dispatch from Lord Roberts:
elements has occupied Torval's Point
and the adjacent drift. AS soon as the
engineers, pontoons and troops arrive
will cross the river when the necessary
repairs to the railway bridge will be
commenced. Gatacre occupied Buer-
ghersdorp on March 9TH and was greeted
with great enthusiasm. His scouts re-
port that large numbers of rebels in
their neighborhood are anxious TO sur
render"
