London, May l6.-A special dispatch
from Stone Hill farm, near Natal,
dated today, says:
General Buffers advance commenced
Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in
strength. When within two miles of
Helpmaaker, the Beers opened heavy
fire OF artillery and the British guns
replied while portion of Buffers
troops worked around the Boer tlanks.
The British attack was pressed home
Sunday. Bethuene on the right, out
fianked the Beers. whose splendid de-
fensive positions on the Biggarsberg
were practically taken. General Bul
ler's march, subsequent to the attack,
was carried out without hitch. The
British are still pushing on"
London, May 16.-A dispatch re-
ceived from Pietermaritzburg, Natal,
brought the first intimation OF success
attained by General Butler. in Northern
Natal. The sender of this dispatch
evidently assumed that news of the
affair had been received direct from the
scene of hostilities, for he merely said:
General Buller's official telegram
notifying of his success at Biggarsberg
and received here an hour ago. has
given keen satisfaction. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that Dundee will be
occupied by the British today. Resi-
dents of the north country are delight
ed, as the forcing of the Biggarsberg
means that they will speedily be en-
abled to return to their homes"
Another dispatch from the Stone Hill
farm says:
After four days. march eastward at
the foot of the Biggarsberg ridges in
the direction of Helpmaaker, which
was occupied by the federals, the Sec
ond brigade on Sunday led the attack.
Dundonald's cavalry broke the Beers
center, and Bethuene's horse advanced
on their extreme right in the direction
OF Pomeroy. A small party of burghers
occupied ridge overlooking Help
maker, but they did not wait for an
assault"
Recent scouting In the direction of
Dundee has shown that the federals
were in great force on Biggarsberg, so
apparently General Butler concluded
that 1t was necessary to clear them from
his rear before commencing move
ment in the direction of the DTakens-
berg range.

WRECK DUE TO cARELEssNEss
At Least Six Persons Killed In the
Accident at O'Neill,

Accident at O'HeilIs
Denver, May 12.-A special to the
Republican from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says:
The charred remains OF two more
victims of the Union Pacific accident
at O'Neill sidetrack were found in the
wreckage today. Both bodies was SO
badly burned as to render Identification
impossible. One OF the bodies was that
OF a boy. Papers in the pockets of one
of the unknown victims found yester-
day indicate that his name was Daniel
Shay, and that he had recently been
employed at Rock Springs. The other
unknown found yesterday has not yet
been identified, and the remains OF
Fireman Louis Benta have not yet been
found. When the accident occurred
car loaded with sulphur caught fire,
and transformed the wreck into sea
of flames. The wreckaee is still burn
ing and renders the work OF searching
for additional victims exceedingly
hazardous. Thus far, the remains Of
three men and three boys have been re-
covered and it Is believed other bodies
will be found before the search is COM
pleted.
An official investigation into the
cause OF the awful accident discloses
the fact that 1t was due to the care
lessness Of an employe The last train
to pass O'Neill prior to the accident
was westbound freight, in charge Of
Conductor Hendricks crew.

Lord Salisbury took the grace out Of

by the vehemance with which he
warned Irishmen that recent events in
South Africa proved that there could
not be practical independence any
where in the empire with opportuni-
ties for arraying hostile forces against

trenchant, but ecrid speech, and was

The Platform. 4.

Tie RlattOrlns
''The Peoples party of the United
States, in convention assembled, con-
graduating its supporters on the wide
extension of its principles in all direc-
tions, does hereby reaffirm its adherence
to the fundamental principles pro-
claimed in it's two prior platforms, and
calls upUh all who desire to avert the
subversion of free institutions by COL
porate and imperialistic power to unite
with it in bringing the government back
to the ideals of Washington, Jefferson
and Lincoln. 1t extends to its allies in
the struggle for financial and economic
freedom assurances of its loyalty to the
principles which animate the allied
forces and the promises of honest and
hearty cooperation in every effort for
their success. To the people of the
United States we offer the following
platform as the expression of our un-
alterable convictions:
Resolved, That we denounce the
act of March IA, 1900, as the culmina-
tion of long series of conspiracies to
deprive the people of their constitu-
tional rights over the money of the
nation, and relegate to gigantic
money trust the control of the finances,
and hence the people.
"We reaffirm the demand for the re-
opening of the mints of the United
States to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to l.
"We demand a graduated income
and Inheritance tax.
1--WE demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern-
ment.
"With Thomas jefferson, we declare
the land, including all natural sources
of wealth, the inalianable heritage ol
the people. The government should SO
act as to secure homes for the people
and prevent land monopoly.
Transportation being a means OF
exchange and a public necessity, the
government should own and operate
the railroads in the interest of the
people.
"Trusts, the overshadowing evil oi
the age, are the result and elimination
of the private ownership and control OF
the three great instruments of com
merce-money, transportation and the
means OF transmission of information.
! The one remedy for the trusts is thai
the ownership and control be assumed
and exercised by the people.
"Applauding the valor OF our army
and navy in the Spanish war, we de-
nounce the conduct OF the administra
tion in changing a war for humanity
into war for conquest.
1--WE extend to the brave Beers 0
South Africa our sympathy and mora
support in their patriotic struggle for
the right Of self-goyernment.
"We denounce the pratice Of issuing
injunctions in the cases of dispute be
tween employers and employees.
"We indorse municipal ownership o
public utilities.
"We demand that United State
senators and all other officials, as fa
as practicable, be elected by direct vote

Camden, N. j., May 15.--Fire today,
which broke out in the Farmers
market house, at Fifth and Federal
streets, completely destroyed that
building, 10 stores and about 80 small
dwellings, causing loss estimated at
5000, 900, and rendering homeless about
$50 persons. These people are tonight
quartered in the armory, and are being
fed at the expense of the city.
Boys playing in the market house set
fire to large pile of tarred lumber
stored there. The flames spread rapid
ly and were soon beyond control, max
ing it necessary to call on Philadelphia
for aid. Among the structures damaged
was the old postofIice building, which
was partly destroyed. This building
had been abandoned by the government
only few weeks ago.
When the chemical laboratory OF
William Cogswell, in Federal street,
caught fire, there was series of explo-
sions. The Cogswell establishment
was gutted. The principal losses were
the Farmers market, $4,000; Cogs-
we'll laboratory, $4,000. Most OF the
other sufferers were small property
owners. Many OF the occupants Of the
dwellings lost all their household
eff ects, Insurance partial.
