some of thu Many Elaborate Presents
that lave Been nesto~ed
Upon Royalty.

When Princess Louise was married
IN the MARQUIS OF Lorne, now the duke
Of Argyll, she received some curious
nresenis. The queen gave her the Gus
,omarv set Of opals and diamonds be-
slowed on English royal brides anaaiso

and diamond tiara,
Clan Campbell sent as a gift TO the
wife Of their future chief q lovely

GEOGRAPHY IN CHINA.
A Chinaman Has n Queer Notion

One night when the local officials
OF the small village where we were

laugh, says q writer in Harper's

100 miles a long journey, that | had
come over 10000 miles, was to give
the impression OF a gross eNaggera-
ton, as be had no idea OF the size of
the earth or where America was, as
the question whether II was north or
south of China indicated. One OF his
companions, finding that his friend
was quite at sea. finally summoned
up courage and rebuked the question
er by pointing out that America was
in the western and China in the east
ern hemisphere After other inquir-
les, the first man frightened up and
said: "Oh, l Know nov where your
land is; IL Is between France and
Germany" whereupon the second,
who had been carefully watching our
faces and so perceived that the other
was wrong again, repeated his hemis'
phere remark with a most supercili'
Gus and superior cir, and as he ven
tured nothing more, there was LITTLE
doubt that that comprised his who'll
knowledge Of the worl S geography
although there was considerable
doubt that he really Knew what
hemisphere was; and yet these two
men held important government pc

CARLOADS OF CORPSES.

Schofeld, Utah, May 3.-To-
days estimate of the number
killed in the terrible mine explo-
sion here is $50, but the total
death list may yet reach 300. Re-
lief work is still in progress, be-
ing conducted by shifts of men.
The shiftof men now in the mine
has fifty bodies ready to bring
out and the number of corpses
yet to be reached is still uncer-
tain.
Arriving trains are constantly
bringing relatives of the victims
from outside points and the coal
company has designated a COM
mittee to carry the dead to Salt
Lake, Ogden and other cities. On
account of gas No. 4 mine has
been abandoned as a means of
rescue and bodies are arriving
at the mouth of No. 1 mine by
the carload.
Ferrish Level has been cleared
Of dead and all are burned and
unrecognizable.
The reports from Schofeld up
to late last night say that it is
now known that 178 are dead
from the explosion and that the
estimate of loss will increase
rather than decrease. One esti
mate is that there were 800 men
in the mine and on that basis at
lost.

STUBBORN bGR5 HOLD Till R|Ddt5
Fighting Becomes Heavier, But the
Immense British Force Seems
Unable to Gust Them.

London, Wednesday, May .
General Roberts dispatches in
respect to the recent operations
near Thaba N'Chu show that the
Beers are by no means dispirited
by the turn events have taken
since Saturday and Sunday.
Their attacks are described by
the Commander-in- Chief as hav-
ing been very persistent.
A daring attempt was made
Sunday night to cut off the con-
voy moving up from De Vets
Drop, and it nearly succeeded.
The escort composed of the Yeo-
manry and Scot guards, was fir
ed upon in some broken ground.
Only the opportune arrival on
the scene of Brabazon with a
strong force of Colonials, return
ing from a visit to Wepener,
extricated them from their peril
Gus position.
Evidently the convoy belonged
to Rundle's division, which
hurriedly marched from DeWet's
Drop a few days ago. The dis
trlct now is throught to be clear
of Beers, but this is another re
minder of the ceaseless vigilance
and extraordinary mobility of
the burghers, and is so consid-
cred IN London.
Meanwhile, it is to be observ-
ed that some important move
ments are in progress. Ian
Hamilton, with a body of mount
ed infantry and Smith h-Dorrien S
brigade, marched out of Thaba
N'Chu on Monday in a northerly
direction. Hamilton found him
self opposed by a strong force OF
Beers, commanded by General
Botha in person. 1t may be
gathered from this and from a
telegram forwarded by the Daily
Telegraph correspondent that
the Beers have quilted, at least
partly, their almost impregnable
positions on the road from Tha
ba N'Chu to Ladybrand, and are
moving away to the northeast
toward Winburg. The explana
ton of this step may be found il
their desire to protect their right
flank, which is threatened by
Hamilton s movement and the
advance from Wepener.
Brabant's S cavalry is with Hart's
Irish Brigade, and their gun:
we're heard southeast of Thabs
N'Chu on Sunday evening. Tx
avoid beng taken in the flank
the Beers discreetly moved
away.
Hamilton has been conSiderab
ly strengthened from Thab;
N'Chu and elsewhere by cavalry
infantry and artillery. Rundl'
continues to hold a strong posi-
tion near the town and MAXWELL
brigade has occupied an impor
tant row of kopjes on the roa'
from Bloemfontein to Winburg
1t looks, therefore, as if Rob
erts and his divisional command
ers anticipate some stiff fightin!
in this neighborhood, and tina
the Beers are determined not (
be ousted from the region, whic
