WARD-BRIEF DISPATCHES FROM
THE FRONT

London. April 14-The Bloemfontetn corre-
spondent Of THE Daily Telegraph" in a dis
patch dated Friday, describing Lord Roberts
and the troops attending Good Friday services
says:
But the troops are marching forward as well
to services.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of THE
Morning Post" telegraphing Thursday, says:
The enemy have evidently determined to adopt
entirely new tactics Two columns are known
be moving to the south of BlOemfontein. They
are relying on Cape carts for transport and are
carrying scarcely any forage and only sufficient
food to meet the immediate requirements Of the
convoy, with OK transport following al .ecure
distance. The Boer columns are thus naoled
TO move almost as quickly as cavalry.
1t is reported that there are nine thousand
Beers to the south Of Dewetsdorp, the force ex-
tending from that point to Odendahl The
burghers who had returned TO their farms are
undoubtedly rejoining the enemy.
Lord Roberts has appointed the Duke Of MARI
borough to be assistant military secretary at
headquarters
The Daily Mail" publishes the following dis,
patch. dated Friday, April Is, from Lourenco
Marques
The Beers are manufacturing shells. especially
Vickers- Maxims in large quantities at the Beg
bic Foundry, johannesburg.
The actual Boer losses to the end Of March
including prisoners are estimated at L, 600. At
81, 600 in the Free State.
The Bloemfonten correspondent Of THE Daily
Mail" telegraphing Thursday. says:
There is nothing whatever TO cause uneasiness.
1t will presently be that the Beers just
where want them. In a word, we are all
right.
THE Daily Telegraph" has the following from
Elandslaagte. dated April 13:
The Beers are changing their tactics and are
moving from Glencoe westward with view Of
threatening our lines OF communication to Lady
smith.
On Tuesday a corps OF Carabineers and an
other Of Thornycrofts Horse narrowly escaped
being cut Off owing to the treachery OF Kaflir
and native guide.

Town says that Lady Roberts Will proceed TO
Bloemfontein in a few days, and that the Duke

also lost an immense number of oxen, and are
crippled in transport service Their raiding
operations have exhausted their horses, whereas
Frenchs cavalry brgades will be fresh for

The only weak point in the British campaign
is Mafeking. Veterans here anxious about
the fate of the garrison, and are unable to per-
ceive how General Darlington can relieve it
without a march of five hundred miles, which
will take up many weeks. The closest observ-
ers are not convinced that this attempt will be
made, but disposed to believe that his force
will be employed exclusively on the northern
frontier of the Transvaal. ]. N. F.

WOMEN MUST WEEP. NOT KILL.

William T, Stead is authority for the
statement that the Beers now intend
to put their women in the trenches TO
shoot Engllshmen. This is done, he
says, rather enignlatlcally, to make
the English pay Kruger's price that
will stagger humanity" Aside from
the horror to the Amtrican mind at
the thought Of having to shoot or bay
onet women, the mind that conceived
this audacity Of the century will be
be found to be In sad error. Granting
that the women shoot as we'll as the
men, they may be assured that Tom
my Atkins" will not discriminate as
to their sex. He will kill tust as he has
been told to do in Ashantee, in the Sou
dan and among the hill tribes OF
Northern India Why should a Boer
woman awaken sympathy in his heart
when she is trying to kill him? BY
every law Of warfare, this is a case
in which sex cannot be considered.
The Beers, It is to be hoped, will not
take this step. They are not barbar-
ians. stead, with all his Boer sympa-
thies, allows his gluttony for the SEN
sational to suggest such a cowardly
subterfuge on the part Of a brave peo-
pie.

WHY SEATTLE LEADS.
st-IntelIigeneer.

Il
The Astorian is the one paper in Ore
gon which points out that the
recent agreement by which the Clear
water country has been abandoned by
the Union Pacific to the Northern Pa
cine in return for trackage privileges
to Puget sound. means the inevitable
loss to the oregon city of more trade,
a fact which the Oregonian has per-
sistently attempted to ignore.
In its comment on this subject the
Astorian says: If that great paper
(the Oregonian) had been as vigorous
in guarding Oregon's commercial in
terests years ago as it will be little
later in denouncing the combinations
which are existing against her. Oregon
and not Washington would now be the
greatest state in the Northwest, and
Portland, not Seattle. would be the fu-
ture greatest city on the Pacific coast"
The mistake of the Astorian is in
imagining that any newspaper action
could delay the inevitable trend of
commercial development, and in its
theory that the railroad combination
referred to is dictated by a desire to
discriminate against any particular
locality. Nature has fixed the site of
one of the great commercial cities of
the world on Puget sound. Between
rival cities of equal natural advantages
the one whose citizens have superior
activity and enterprise will gain the
advantage; and when the tide once
starts in its direction it will speedily
gain such a lead that it's rival can
never again expect to overtake it. Like
attracts like. The city whose inhabi-
tants are active, enterprising and pub
c-spirited, who are swift to take ad-
vantage Of every opportunity to ex-
tend their trade and build up their
town, is sure to attract to it the most
enterprising and far-seeing newcomers.
After its position is once established,
its further growth is due to the cumu-
lative effect of the same agencies which
gave it the original lead over its OPP
ponents. This is precisely what has
built up Seattle
Railroads do not enter into combina- /
tiOns which in their results injuriously |
affect the trade Of certain towns out |
Of any spiteful desire TO injure those I
localities. Cold business reasons are
the sole actuating impulse. So in the
case at hand. The trade Of Lewiston
and the Clearwater country has gone
IN great part to Portland and the o.

ern Pacific started to build its lines
n that country 1t naturally brought
IN conflict with the Union Pacific,
which controls the o. r. & N. system.
That conflict has been compromised
IN a business basis, and the conces-
ions made on both sides are squarely
n the interest of Seattle, as they are
opposed to the interests of
Portland.
