GENERAL ROBERTS NET
FAILS TO HOLD BOERS

London, April 26.-It is now apparent
that the chances of Lord Roberts catch
ing the rstreating Beers in net are
very slender. The Boers have every
where retired at the arst pressure of the
British advance, and the hope that Gen.
Rumble would be able to induce them to
remain at Dewetsdorp until they had
been forced TO fight or surrender has
been disappointing.
No attempt was made to pursue the
commandos retiring from Wepensr.
Everything now depends upon the pro-
grsss Of General French's cavalry
brigadss, but they are now entering q
very difficult, billy and practically un-
known country.
The cavalry have already had long
march over heavy and sandy roads, and
nothing is known regarding the condi-
ton of the horses. In any case it il
now rase between the federals and the
forces Of General French and General
Hamilton.
The slowness Of tho recent movements
of the British infantry and previous
experience OF the ability Of the Doors to
move rapidly, with guns and baggage,
over their own country, leads to the
belief that Lord Roberts enveloping
operations will fail and will have to be
repeated further north. At the most he
will perhaps capture some Boer guns
and baggage and hurry the rstreating
burghers.
Considerable results have been
attained in the relief Of Wepener and
in the: clearing of the southeastern
corner Of the Free Stats Of Beers, but
the Boer army, whatever its strength
has still to be dealt with.
Besides the casualties among the men,
tho Doer bombardment Of Colonel Dal-
gety's position wrought great havoc
among the cattle and horses. The
garrison could have held out for another
fortnight. but it is in no condition to
render much assistance in pursuing the
Boers,
The inhabitants OF Mafsking are new
on daily ration of two pounds OF soup
and two quarts Of "skilly."

ci GUS to them, a. there were several

themselves for some trying ordeal. In
side the lodge room however there was
perfect calm, and the trembling ladies
were informed that the unusual commo-
ton was only the preparations for initia
tion, and that there were several strapg-
ers to "bs shown the mysteries OF Wood
craft. Tho Woodman lodge il in q
Aourishing condition, and the member

"Clay Center, Kan April 25.-I have
never said that other questions were
moro important than the money ques-
ton have said many times, and now
repeat, that at present three questions,
viz. Money, trusts and imperialism,
are dividing public attention, Men dif-
fer as to their relative Importance, but l
have never attempted to flx their rela-
tive importance.
"The republicans are wrong on all
three questions, and expect to continue
to oppose the gold standard, the trusts
and imperialism.

Constantinople, April 29.-The nego-
tiations between the United States and
the Porte, regarding the American in
demnity claims. has again been trans
ferred here. United States Charge
d'Affaires Griscom, yesterday handed to
Tewfk Pasha, minister Of foreign affairs,
a note based on instructions he had re-
esived from Washington, the tenor Of
which has not been made public. 1t is
understood, however, that it demands
prompt payment Of the indemnity. The
note will be discussed at the council OF
ministers today. Similar steps by tho
other powers are regarded as imminent
1t is learned that tho note OF Mr.. Girls
com, United States charge d'affaires at
Constantinople is founded on the state
department instructions to press vigor-
ously the claim for indemnity. 1t is not
doubted that the government would
speedily meet our desires in the matter.
could the claims be adjusted privately
aud without the knowledge Of the Euro
pean ambassadors in Constantinople,
but this is impracticable, and the Turk.
ish government is, it 10 believed, embar-
rassed at tho necessity of settling all the
claims Of European countries.
The expectant attitude OF the Euro
pean agent in Constantinople during the
active transaction OF negotiations is pro-
badly the basis for such stories as are
aaoat to the effect that the Russian
government was secretly backing Tur-
key 10 opposition to a settlement with
the United States. Its relation with the
Turkish government is not at all averse
to the spirit of the belief in this story
but it is held here that there is no
foundation in fact for it.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Please allow me the privilege of
speaking to the public through your
paper, in behalf Of the Grier Orphanage,
at Hickory Grove, York county, s. c.
It is the youngest orphanage In the
South, and it's very youthfulness ap-
peals strongly for help from all who
feel an interest in such institutions.
National Thanksgiving days come but
once year, and they are favorable
times for favored people to show their
gratitude and their religion, too, by CIV
ing to the poor. hope the fatherless
in this and every orphanage in this
blessed country will be made comforta-
BILE and happy by the thank offerings
on next Thursday. Those under my
care are holding out their hands to re-
ceive anything that will be good for
their bodies or souls.
The first thing a child needs to make
it comfortable in this world Is some
thing to eat, and something to put on.
All these things and money, are sadly
needed at the Grier Orphanage.

THE QUESTION
is SETTLED,

THE question as to which Is the
l. BEST turning polw in the world, has
long since been settled by the farmers
in favor Of the genuine OLIVER. The
manufacturers of all other plows have
also concurred. They have shown this
in two ways. First: BY trying to imi-
tate the Oliver; and second, by claim
ing that theirs is Just as good" Not
withstanding the fact that there are
not less than twenty other concerns
that claim to manufacture chilled
plows, 80 per cent. Of all the chilled
plows sold in the world are OLIVERS.
Is further comment necessary? We
carry the GENUINE in stock. We also
carry a full line of GENUINE OLIVER
repairs. Some other dealers in this
section carry so-called Oliver repairs.
The goods are bogus, and as a rule,
will not fit, and positively will not wear
like the genuine. The price Of the gen.
nine has recently been reduced

Those Scholarships.

There are few young ladies in this
section who cannot afford to work for
those scholarships that The ENQUIRER
is Offering in Converse and Due West
Female colleges. It makes no differ
ence whether the young ladies may be
able to pay her tuition without missing
it or not, the $50 thus saved will come
in very nicely. But compared with q
years tuition in either Due West or
Converse, the sum Of $50 is a small
item. The ladies who get these schol-
arships will not have to do anything
like $50 worth of work. Those who fail
to get the scholarships will be well
paid for all the work they may have
done. This is one Of the prettiest con-
siderations. about The ENQUIRER 8
