ANGRY WATERS ARE STILL
 ON TOUR OF DESTRUCTION

Mobile, Ala, April 2-Advices from the flooded district on the Mobile & Ohio rail- road are to the effect that trains will not run through possibly until Sunday next. Two thousand men are at work between here and Meridian. The water has been slowly subsiding, but the rains of the past twenty-four hours are felt considerably
 Rev. w. F. Russell, a Baptist minister, was drowned in the flood near Waynes- boro, Miss. Other lives are thought to have been lost, but nothing definite will be known for several days yet.
 The situation on the Louisville & Nash vile is practically the same. One thousand men are at work replacing the bridge that was swept away at Pascagoula, and every thing is being done as rapidly as possible to get things in shape.
 The water is slowly falling and the three million logs that are in the booms are still held intact, with excellent prospects of holding them together until the danger is past.

are now at work there Through the open ing caused by the missing spans all man. ner of live stock most of them hogs, are floating out into the gulf. Today several mules, stiu alive, fioated past the wreckers on the bridge. They had evidently been in the water for some time, as their efforts were very feeble. An attempt was made to save them, but the current was so swift that all efforts were unavailable. There is steady stream of carcasses of all de- scriptions.E It is evident that thousands of dollars of live stock have been drowned along the Pascagoula. The log boom is holding, but despite the fact that the river is now slowly falling, there is a considera- ble element of danger still. It is conceded that if the booms get away that the man. moth bridge at Scranton will be washed away. It will be two weeks before the Louisville. and Nashville resume the handling of freight, and some days before the service to the east will be resumed.
 The Illinois Central today announces that its lines are open. The first train went out tonight and got through with but a slight delay. The New Orleans and Northeastern is still tied up, but hopes to resume the running of trains tomorrow or next day.

QUESTION OF BEER TAX
Inquiry as to Whether Revenue is
 Needed to Porto Rico

Washington, April 24.-Commissioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau has received an inquiry as to whether, under the new Porto Rican act, beer exported to Porto Rico will be required to be stamped under existing revenue regulations as ap- piled for home consumption, or if it can be removed under export stamps as here tofore. In his reply the commissioner calls attention to the ruling of his office to the effect that Porto Rico is not for eign country within the meaning of the customs drawback law, and that, there- fore, no refund of duty can be allowed by way of drawback on good exported to that country. The commissioner holds that on May l. 1900, articles subject to internal revenue tax cannot be exported to Porto Rico In bond or with benefit of drawback of the tax paid, under internal revenue laws.
 Commissioner Chamberlain of the navi- gation bureau has issued circular to the effect that pursuant to section nine of the Porto Rican act, vessels entering the United States from Porto Rico from and after May 1, 190O or entering Porto Rico from the United States will be exempt from tonnage duty. From and after May 1 vessels entering Porto Rico from else- where than the United States will be sub ject to tonnage taxes as provided by the laws of the United States.

REPORT OF RELIEF
 AT WEPENER UNTRUE
BoerS Make Another Attack on Gar riSon But Are RepulSed---Ro
 erts On the Move.

London, April 25.-(5 a. m.)-The reports that the siege of wepener had been prac- tically raised were apparently premature. retreat, and as Colonel Dalgety successful northern position as described from Maseru was probably final attempt to rush the garrison before securing a safe retreat, and as Colonel Delgety successful ly repulsed the attack, little further anx- iety is felt on his account.
 Lord Roberts has now spread a net of some 10000 or more men and 15O guns, cov- ering the western semi-circle around Wepener, while General Hamilton has oc- cupied the water works, practically with out opposition. The seventh division, un- der General Tucker, assisted by naval guns, has made a demonstration from Rare Siding, the Boers showing some op- position. At the same time a brigade moved out from Glen to take up posi- tion on range of hills at General Nad- dlen, north of Modder. The water works were found undamaged with the exception of the removal of the sliding valves of the pumping engines. The Boers can now only escape without risking an encounter northward to Lady Brand, and the chance of successful outcome of the plans of Lord Roberts depends on whether the British troops can reach Thaba N'Chu and Lady Brand before the commanders from Dewets Dorp and Wepener.
 All the correspondents report that the roads are in a terrible condition, which accounts for the slow progress of the British columns, and if the Boers are as wei inf of hitherto have been they are likely again to escape.
 It is now within three weeks of the date predicted for the British occupation of Pretoria, and, although the present opera tons as suggested in some quarters, may be the beginning of the main advance, 1t is not certain that they will not entail a further halt at Bloemfontein.

 Bishop Hendrix spoke of the missionary idea, saying that it is supernatural and Christian idea, and that the Christian re- hgion standing or falling with the idea of universally, Christianity shows itself to be the religion of humanity in leaping over seas to the very ends of the world Pro- pagandism is its commission and life blood.

REPUBLICANS s
Hold State Convention at Concord, New
 Hampshire

Concord, N. H., April 4-The republican state convention to elect four delega tes-at- large and four alternates to the natioanl convention at Philadelphia was held here today. N. B. Bryant of Andover was chosen presiding officer. A motion that the secretary cast one ballot for J. H. Gallin- ger, Frank Jones, William C. Clarke and Thomas N. Hastings as delegates to the national convention was lost after F. P. Rowell of Newport had expressed opposi- ton to the election of MT. Jones, whom he declared to be a renegade from the demo- cratic party and unfit to represent the state a. the republican convention.
 James O. Lyford of Concord replied that the movement to send MT. Jones was de- signed to cement with the party those democrats who voted with the republicans in 1896 for William Mckinley.
 The ballot for delegates resulted in the choice of the four persons named, but while the others each received more than 47O votes, Mr. Jones had 395 The delegates were not instructed.

BOERS AS ARTILLERISTS
French Engineer Says Their Work Is
 Wonderful

Paris, April 24.-Captain Leon the French engineer who had charge of the Boer ar tillery and engineers and who was shot in the head during the siege of Kimberley arrived at Marseilles today. His head is still bandaged. He spoke of the Boers as splendid artillerists." He said they had never had more than from 36,OOO to 10000 men under arms, and of these they had lost only 6,0O0, of whom only 600 had been killed.
 Tn my opinion' said MT. Leon, unless the Boers win an important victory near Bloemfontein they must be beaten in the end and although Pretoria could with stand long siege, because it still possesses cannon and supplements for those tenn porarily withdrawn, l believe the plan of the Boers is to take in the mountainous region of the north, which is practically inaccessible, rather than to defend Pre- toria at the risk of a heavy loss of life and the exposure of the population to the fire of the British.
 Even when Great Britain declares the Transvaal annexed, the Boers will never yield and an army of 10000 will be needed to occupy the country.
 Speaking with reference to the climate of South Africa Captain Leon said the season was now approaching when horse sickness ended, and that the British would not suffer much longer this account.

Spencer yi.kinson's Views

London, April 25.-Spencer Wilkinson, dis cussing the military situation in the Morn ing Post, says:
 Lord Roberts, with commenable con cealment of his intentions, has begun the second act in his campaign. He has sud- denly deployed his army on the long front from Karee siding to Wepener, distance of about 70 miles. Without doubt Winston Churchills reference to General Rundle means that this commander is endeavoring to amuse the Boers until General French shall be able to shut off their retreat northward.
 ''The Boers have no army on the spot large enough to attack the British army so deployed.' Therefore, as soon as the local struggles are over, the British numerical superiority and the skilful handling which recent movements have shown, justify that matters will end in favor of the British.
 ''rhe line can, if need be, be wheeled to its left, so that while the left holds its ground ar Karee Siding, the center and right can move forward to Thaba NChu. Such move would hurry the Boers away from their position at Frankfort"

BOERS BEGIN ATTACK
British Return a Heavy Fire. Causing
 Them to Fall Back

Maseru, Basutoland, Tuesday, April A- The Boers severely attacked Colonel Dal- gety's northern position, facing Bokpoort action, under whose fire they made de- termined advance. The British returned a heavy fire, from which the Boers recalled, after extending across the flats and man- taining continuous long range fusilade for some hours.
 Artillery can be heard in the direction of Dewetsdorp, but there is no sign that the British relief column in that quarter has advanced further.
 The natives report that another British force has been detached from Bloemfon- tein. If so. the position of the Boere around Wepener is precarious.
