finished the Free Staters.
Roberts entered Bloemfontein on Tues
day, and the result has been the complete
collapse of Free state resistance. The
railway opened without difficulty to the
Orange river, the rebellion in the cape
collapsed and the Free Staters turning
round by wholesale.
Meantime the T%ransvaal Beers solemn

to run his head against Biggersberg. LORD
Roberts, BY advancing along the Faal
river, would turn Biggersberg. and the
Beers must then be between two armies.
The TransVaal Beers may night on IN

PARIS, March 1.-THE United States
has shown selfish Europe an example"
said a responsible official to a represent
tative of the Associated Press when asked
what was the feeling of the French gov
eminent regarding President McKinley's
offer Of his good offices to England I'VE
felt" continued the official, that our
own position with respect to England, in
view OF the present state of public feeling
there, was too delicate to admit of ever
conceding to MIR. Kruger's appeal, and,
as this reluctance appeared to be shared
by every other power, the action of the
American government in taking the initl-
alive came as an agreeable surprise. That
It did not succeed does not detract from
its merit"
