Believed to be Concerned in Series of
 Burglaries im That Section.


 Norwich March 4.--John H. Sanders, stephen S. Sanders and Irving I. Bab- cock, men of about forty years, who have resided here for about a year, are under arrest on suspicion of being the parties concerned in the series of burg laries which have been recently com- mitted in eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island. The men hail from Wes- terly, N J., but have made Norwich their headquarters for the past year. They are men of desperate character and when about to be arrested one of the trio attempted to pull a revolver. A search of the room occupied by San ders disclosed very complete burglars outfit and valuable white silk shawl. None of the plunder from the recent burglaries was found, however.
 Sheriff Jackson has been at work on the case and is convinced that the men arrested are the guilty ones. On Feb rlfary F two stores in Hope Valley, R.. l., were entered and the safes blown open and the following afternoon John c. Miller, who Is about seventy-tiye years of, age and conducts a store ,n Pendleton hill, North Stonington. was lured into the basement of bis store on the preteXt of one of the men wanting to buy some kerosene oil, and he was then assaulted. bound and gagged and then the burglars rifed the store. Tho store of John Richardson at Preston City was also entered about tho same time and much booty secured. The men will be taken to Preston for hearing Monday morning.

| trying to remove the big gun on Bull wana Hill by the erection of Q derrick. This proved that something extraordi- | nary was happening. The other garri- son guns then directed their fire on Bull wana, with the result that the Boera | were compelled to abandon the attempt with the derrick. Later on they placed the. gun on a wagon, which capsized in a donga.
 During the afternoon, when even the Boers were seen approaching, the Brit ish resumed the shelling of Bulwana. About o'clock a terrific thunder storm broke over the town just after a mes- sage had been photographed from Wagon Hill that the Boers were in full retreat Other officers said they believed they could descry British cavalry, but most people supposed that the wish was fath- CT to the thought As soon as the storm ceased the British guns reopened on Bulwana, gradually concentrating the fire on the left and driving the Boers before them, with the object of prevent ing the enemy from hampering any British approach.
 An hour later a party of British
  below Bulwana at a distance of some miles. It is impossible to describe the excitement and enthusiasm among the troobs that followed Most of the towns people had been driven into the houses by the storm and did not learn the good news until later. The storm broke out again at o'clock in the evening and continued until ? o'clock the next morn- ing. It must have seriously hampered the retreating Boers. The British gun ners kept a sharp watch to prevent any further attempt to remove the BulWana gun.
 The British naval gun fired at inter- vals through the night and in the morn- ing a force was sent out to look after the gun and to occupy Bulwana. Lord Dundonalds force went after the re- treating Boers, while 4,000 of the best men of the garrison went toward Elandslaagte in the hope of being able to cut off the enemy.

 Looked Like Bfg Fire.

A fire that looked serious at first broke out in Heublein's cafe,N at the corner of Church and Court streets, yes- terday afternoon about o'clock, and
 but for the quick response of the fire department considerable damage to the
 building would have been done. An
 alarm was rung from box PIP, located in
 the police headquarters. by Detective
 McGrath. MT. Niederpruein, who lives over the Heublein cafe, was going down to the dining room for his overcoat in preparation for going down to the shore
 with his wife, and when he entered thedI room he saw smoke issuing from flfes

 time McGrath had seen the blaze and
 rang the alarm. Nos, 1, ?, 3 and H,
 chemical engine No. and trucks 1 and responded to the call and the fire was extinguished after some difficulty in get
 ting at it.
 The cause of the fire is unknown, but the crossing of electric wires running down into the cellar is thought to be the cause, as there is nothing that could start fire in the vicinity of where the flames started The flames burst up through the floor of Mayor Driscolrs law office, but no other damage was done there. The ornamental shingling around the front of the kitchen was scorched and nearly all the canvas on the ceiling of the dining room and scorched and peeled off. Owing to the thick partitions the flames were conf1n- ed to the dining room and the damage will amount to about $500. The firennen were obliged to cut through the floor in order to get at the flames and also break one of the large plate glass windows on the Court street side of the cafe The damage to stock was slight, g. few steins, glasses, tables and chairs being either broken or scorched. The fire was very smoky one volumes of smoke pouring out of nearly every window of the A large crowd collected aud evidently expected to witness a big blaze, but it was soon under control and was out in five minutes.

Views of Pres. Jordan or thc Leland
 Stanford Unlversity.

Chicago, March 4-President David sity of California, Iectured at All
 Souls church here to-day, speaking to a large audience on 'sT'he Blood of a Nation" He said that the present cen- tury would witness the downfall of Great Britain. He declared that ulti- mately the people of South Africa would have their freedom The speaker in emphatic terms asserted that the pres ent inhabitants of Great Britain were a mere shadow of their forefathers in point of brains and health. MT Jor- dan thinks that a nation that founds it's destiny on war must, reach speedy decay. He said a great war saps the vitality of the best blood of the nation
 MT Jordan deprecated the fact that so many of the best youths of a nation are killed during times of war. He re- marked that thIs accounted for the ex- istence of weak nation, both mental ly and physically. He declared that France, more than any other nation, had deteriorated. He said war more than any other thing had contributed to- this sorrowful condition. Among other things he said: T think war, more than any other agency, destroys the vi- talty of nation. Take for instance, the present British Boer war. The best of both countries are now on the field of battle. War not only makes widows, but it prevents many marriages l certainly am of the opinion that war is curse on any na- tion until it. is the result of fight for freedom. Such a thing as carrying on war for the sake of encouraging inn ideas will wreck sooner or later nation that tries such a scheme"

QUEEN WILL NOT LEA TE.
Her GI eat Interest in the War-plan of
 ROrr Campaign.

London, March 5, APO a. m.-Her majesty has abandoned her intended visit to the Italian Rivera and has de- cided to remain at home. Her decision to give her customary spring holiday is accounted another proof of her deep interest in and devotion to the welfare of her people. On Thursday she will come to London for brief visit, re- maning until Saturday, and she will undoubtedly receive splendid ovation. Her heartfelt, homely despatches to the the generals in the field and her visit to Netley hospital have greatly endeared her to her people.
 Lord Roberts in his despatches to the war office thus far published, says lit- tie, but he undoubtedly is active in some direction. The Ons Land, the or gan of the Afrikander Bund, says: "The Boers will now confine themselves to the defensive, abandoning an offensive policy."
