HOW ENGLAND REJoICED.

LONDON, June 3.-At o'clock this
afternoon, almost eight months after
the declaration of war, Lord Roberts
entered Pretoria. While the comman-
der in chief of the greatest army
Great Britain ever put in the field was
fulfilling the promise he made TO the
guards at Bloemfontein, to lead them
into the capital OF the Transvaal, Eng
land was celebrating the event with
wild enthusiasm. Throughout the
length and breadth of the country the
news spread like wildfire. Based on
the recollection of recent European
wars, when the occupation of the en-
emys capital signified the end of hos
tilities, Lord Roberts terse telegram
was taken universally 10 mean the
practical finish Of the war which has
tried Great Britain's military re-
sources as they were never tried be-
fore. In London the Mansion House
and the war office almost instantan-
eously became the centers for jubilant
throngs. Flags again appeared as il
by magic and traffic had to be diverted
through other streets.
Hatless and COATES men and boys
ran through the city alleys to see for
themselves the bulletins announcing
the good news and staying 10 join in
the thunder of cheers or add their
voices to the joyful throngs singing
God save the Queen. Hats hoisted
from thousands of heads were waved
in exultant hands and shimmered like
a coal bed in the sun. Old men on
top of the omnibuses and aldermen
from the windows OF the mansion
house encouraged crowds TO still fur
Their efforts. The premature report OF
the fall of the Beers stronghold did
not seem to have taken the edge OF
to-days celebration. Lord Roberts
Six Miles Spruit dispatch was hardly
printed in the Extras" before the
Union Jack of the war Office was haul-
ed pu the flagstaff and the brief mes
sage was passed from mouth to mouth.
Pretoria is occupied" Those who
had had chance 10 read Lord Rob-
erts' account Of the resistance encount-
eFeu yesterday were at tndL moment
commenting on the probability OF a
fierce fight before the city was occu-
pied and were wondering at the Boers'
capabilities TO make such a determine
ed stand when Pretoria was hemmed
in on all sides. The pressure Of Gen.
eral French north of the Boer capt.
tai came as surprise and explained
the mmander-in-chiefs retriever
anent the position OF the energentfc
cavalry leader. 1t was evident thar
Lord Roberts delayed attacking until
all his column were ready to cooper
ate. but even when Lord Roberts wired
last night that this was accomplished
there seemed possibility OF soma
nghting, so when the next momentous
dispatch was given out it came as q
surprise
Judging from Lord Roberts, phrase
ology the occupation OF Pretoria was
not accompanied by any loss of life.
What has happened to the Boer forces
which SO insistently opposed the Brit
ish advance at Six Miles Spruit can
only be surmised. But, presumably
they have got away for the present. al
any rate.

From a Staff Correspondent.
WESTON, W. Va, June 5.-The
Dovener crowd are enthusiastic and
declare the Captain will secure the
nomination on the first ballot. Char
ley Seabright, of Benwood, bet one
secure the nomination without the
formality of a second ballot, but there
were no others among the Captains
friends who wanted to follow Sea-
bright's lead. He set the odds too
high, and several Dovener delegates
would have been willing to take that
sort Of money, but for the sentiment
that prevented them wagering against
their ideal.
The Campbell people are mysterious.
They say they will have 1913 on the
first ballot, but Campbells manager,
Bradley, refused to go into details or
TO intimate where they are to come
from. John Burchinal, of Mounds
vile, is equally reticent as to details,
but fully as strong making claims.
The Campbell people are making cap
ital of the fact that John Klldelberger
discarded his Dovener badge on the
way out, and they say he will vote and
work for Campbell. Kindelberger was
suspiciously confidential with Captain
Dovener and John Frew in their state
room, however, and spent SO much
time hobnobbing with Campbell Rich
ards and John sshellRase that I am in
clined to think Sshe was fooling the
Complexities
One of the strong points the Camp
bell people make is. that ii. Dovener is
renominated JamessK. Hall cannot be
nominated for Auditor. They say if
Doyener lands Hall cannot get one
fourth the delegates from the first
district. However, Halls friends from
Ohio county are the friends of Doven-
er to such an extent as to create the
impression that Hall is not of the
same mind, as the Campbell support
ers regarding Dovener's nomination
affecting him.
AT any rate the convention will be
interesting in its preliminary stages.
Campbell has created enough of
split in the Ohio county delegation to
make possible call of Captain Dow
ener's bluff that he would pull off If
he did not get all of Ohio county. Bill
Mccormick, who carries proxies
against Dovener, and Charley Bach
man, who is against the Captain, re-
fuse to say what Campbell's strength
in Ohio county will be, but they say it
will be enough.
Campbell Gives Up.
At the Camden hotel tonight Judge
Campbell declined to make any claim,
except that the Dovener people nave
resorted to revolutionary methods to
secure delegates. He cites Clay dis
trict, in Ohio county, as an example,
and says it will be brought before the
convention with force and promi-
nence. The Judge is generally con-
coded to have hopeless cause, while.
it is generally agreed that he ought
to have gotten a great many delegates
that Dovener has gotten, still he will
not get them. The contest from Brax-
ton county is understood. this morn
ing, to have been dropped, and Dow
ener will probably get what he wants.
Judge Campbell is floating along in a
high moral atmosphere away above
the politicians who will run the con-
vention. He is hurt and disguised
by the wrongs he feels he has suf-
fered, but he has come to the wrong
court to have them righted

THE EVENTS OF THE DAY.

Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, June s.
Probably never in the history of the
State has there been so large conven-
ton as the State Convention which
will be called to order at noon to-
morrow will be. Every train that has
come in for the last forty EIGHT hours
has brought a big crowd, and to-day's
trains were all crowded to the plat
fonsrs.. The Ohio River railroad ran
three sections of the Ohio Valley Ex-
press to-day from Huntington to Par
kersburg, and many had come from
there on earlier trains besides. The
baltimore & Ohio train from the east
at noon brought in several hundred
passengers, and the two trains from
the east this evening brought in near
ly a thousand more.
Before the gavel falls tomorrow
there will be at least 5000 strangers
in the city. And they all bring the
most glowing accounts of the condi-
ton of the party in their respective
sections. From reports gathered from
delegates from all over the State, the
outlook for Democratic success at the
polls in next November is more than
flattering.
Ex-Governor MacCorkle says that
in Kanawha county the people are
Gisgusted with
The Republican Ring Rule
to WHICH they have been subjected,
and are going to throw off the bondage
this year. He says the Gold Demo
Gratis there are all going to support
the regular party nominees this year
and that there is talk of running Jas.
L. Brown, of Charleston, a leader of
the Gold Democrats in 1896, for the
Legislature on the regular Democratic
ticket
Senator Osenton, of Fayette, says
that Judge Johnston will be renom-
mated for Congress in the Third dis
trict and will be elected. He says Joe
Gaines, who will be nominated by the
Republicans, will be weaker in his
own county of Fayette and his adopted
county of Kanawha. than Edwards was
when he was defeated by Johnston,
and that Johnston will be even
stronger than he was two years ago.
A. S. Mccoy, of Tyler county, says
the Republicans in that county al
ready concede that the Republican
vote will fall off 200 or more from
that of two years ago.
Col. Thos. B. Davis, of Keyser, says
the South Branch country will poll
A Bigger Democratic Vote
this year than usual, and that condi-
tons are all right along the West
Virginia Central except that lot of
strangers have come in from other
States to work in mines and saw mills
and that they will make that section
vote a little uncertain.
Col. Rowan, of Monroe, says his
section will return the usual Demo-
cratic majorities.
Jake Fisher, of Braxton. saws the
central part of the State is all right.
and will come up smiling with a big
Democratic majority next fall
There has been little or no change
in the gubernatorial situation in the
last twenty-four hours. Disinterest-
i
for the nomination and at his head
quarters it is still claimed that he will
be nominated on the first ballot. The
Tavenner forces do not concede any,
thing. however, and claim with ap-
parently as much confidence that Tay-
enner will be the nominee. But there

Nor heed that they rob of ifes rare wine:
That they loosen your arms from about my waist:
