Lord Roberts new objective point is

movement was imnracticable.
The road from Lydenburg makes a
loop northward TO Krugersport and
thence runs easterly to Pilgrim 8 Rest,
whence there is bridge path around
Spitzkop toward the railway at Nell
epruit Gen. Butler did not follow this
road, but made frontal assault upon
n position of great natural strength,
three battalions carrying it with galian-
try. 1t seems probable that he has
turned the Boer positions at Pilgrtms
Rest and Krugeraport, but 1t is not clear
whether he, has cut of the retreat of the
enemy to Nelspruit.
1t issevident that while Sir Redvers is

near Lydenburg French is expected to
drive the remaining Boer force out OF
sBarberton and to clear the railway to
the Portuguese frontier.

and tell what she knew OF the murder

Names September election has been
of interest to the outside world ever
since the war as q Barometer. Years
ago 1t used to divide attention in tina
respect with Ohio. But 1t has not been
always reliable barometer.
In 1880. for example, the most telling
taunt democrat cound fiing at re-
publican was to ask him: Have you
heard from Maine ?" That was the year
the democrats and greenbackers, with
complete fusion, carried the state by
s1s9 In the September election. The
Sbaromic reading was proved false, how
ever. in November, when Garfield and
Arthur We're elected, altho the state
went republican by only q little more
than 5000 plurality.
In 1884 again the republicans carried
Maine In September by 1903, only g
few hundred below their plurality In
November of the same year-about
normal plurality-but that was the year
the rest Of the country elected Presi-
dent Cleveland.
In 1883 the republican plurality IN
eseptem her was is. O4S. II little below nor
NAL, and the republicans of the nation
Won sweeping victory In November
with Gen. Harrison. The September
election of 1892. however. was q year N
which the ..barometer' spoke truly, az
THE republican plurality In September
preceding Cleveland's second election
was only 1881. and only little more
than IA 900 in November.
The vote on the president in Maine al
the November election usually follows
closely, In proportional division, the
September election vote, the difference
being that the November vote is usually
the heavier
