cared TO make an explanation of his ac-

briefly. The people of the state OF Mon

at a regular election, selected w. \.
Clark to represent the state in the sem

until such time as the people have had
an opportunity to affirm or revoke the
faction of their own representatives at
the next succeeding election.
The governor has received many con-
gratulatory messages during the day

he told the bride and bridegroom, he
could not make them man and wife.

to the assembled guests, was received
with expressions Of great astonishment.
Then they filed slowly out of the church.

awaited them.

A BITTER STRUGGLE IMMINENT.
Beers Are Massing q Large Force Prepara-
tory to Contesting the Entrance Of
Roberts Into Home Territory.

The latest advices announce the uncon-
ditional surrender of General Cronje and
his band of Boer patriots, numbering
about 5000. For days General Cronje
with his small army held at hay the Brit
ish forces, which were five times greater
III number, presumably to give the Beers
a better opportunity to mass their forces
to contest with the British Oh home soil.
By engaging the attention OF Roberts and
holding it he has given the Beers an ex-
cellent opportunity 10 do this While it
may be true that he has surrendered, yet
ere doing so he accomplished much for
his compatrots.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The Beers are as
sembling an army near Bloemfontein
with which to dispute the invasion OF
Lord Roberts. This intelligence comes
from Pretoria by way of Lorenzo Mar
quez. The commands are described as
Fastening from all quarters of the two
republics" No estimate is made of their
numbers, but the withdrawal of the Beers
from most of the points where they have
been in contact with the British excep,
the district near Ladysmith may raise
the resisting force to 10000 men. This
figure assumes that the Beers have be

that the chances were that 10000 white
laborers would come into the country to
build the canal, and II they remained
they would bring others. and that to-
gether they would Americanize the cour-
try II the Nicaraguans we're not careful.
To this the rrjoinder was that such a
