DOERS' BOLD RAID. ON SUPPLY LINE
BEHIND ROBERTS.
TransvaaIcrs Have Severed His Line Of Rail-
way Communlcation-No Word From
Roberts For Three Days.

The executive Offices OF the Transvaal
government are in railway car, which
is shunted on switch at Machadorp
station. President Kruger caused the
interior of the coach to be reconstructed
some time ago with view to contin-
gencies that have arrived.
Referring to the reasons why he left
Pretoria, Mr. Kruger said to a CORE
spondent:
] was not foolish enough to be taken
prisoner. | provided This means OF To-
comotion precisely for the same reason
as our burghcrs supply themselves with
horses when they take the field. 1t is
necessary that ! should be able to move
quickly from place to place. By and
by this car will take me back to Pre-
toria. For the present it enables me
to keep away from Pretoria, where |
could be of no service and where
should only play into the hands of the
enemy
You may depend upon it that the war
is not yet over. Guerrilla warfare will
continue over an enormous area. We
intend to fight to the bitter end and
shall probably retire upon Lydcnburg,
where we can hold out for many
months.
1t is only now the real struggle has
begun. | fear that there will still be
much bloodshcd, but the fault is that
| OF the British government. Then rails
ing his voice to an almost passionate
height MIR. Kruger exclaimed: The
time has passed for lis to talk. We
have done plenty OF that, but it has
| done us no good. There is nothing left
for us to do but to keep on fighting, to
keep on fighting.
The burghers are fully determined
to fight to the last. They will never
surrender so long as 500 armed men re-
| main in the country.

tween American Siding and Roodeval

permitted him to accumulate large re-

The entire business and most of the
residence section OF the town OF Vir-
ginia, on the Mesaba iron range, Mimi,
was wiped out OF existence Thursday by
fire. The territory over which the fire
travelled covered about IL blocks, nine
OF which we're thickly built up. There
is not business house, hotel or store
standing in Virginia. The loss is esti-
mated at $5oo,ooo; insurance not over
$I25ooo. So far as known no lives were
lost There is little food left in the

pEAv Y MINE EXPLOSION.
Two Hundred Miners Entombed-T Three Lose
Their lives-Bodles Unrecoyered.

At Glouster, o., two hundred miners
were imprisoned early Friday morning
by On explosion of gas in mine No. 2
and as many more were about to enter
the mine for work. Ii was thought at
first that the loss OF life would be very
large, but the work OF rescuers was car
ried on so encrgetically and successfully
that all were rescued and saved, except
three. Evan Joseph, John MeClelland
and Aaron Swanson were killed and
their bodies probably cannot be recov-
cred, as the mine is still on fire.
These men were engaged to watch
the large mine at night and see that it
was in condition for the miners to en-
ter in the morning. They were cut off
from all means of escape at the time OF
the explosion, and their horses perish
ed with them. William Williams, also
employed in the mine, had his leg
broken and others suffered slight in
juries.
The explosion set the mine on fire
and the rescuing party has been working
with difficulty. State Mine Inspector
Elmer g. Biddison was telegraphed for
and he, with Deputy Inspector Will
Jams, are on the ground trying to smoth-
er and drown out the flames, but so far
they have been unsuccessful. In the
evening second explosion occurred
and shortly afterward third, in which
the system OF fans used to force fresh air
into the mine was completely destroyed.
There were 400 men employed in the
mine. Had the explosion occurred a
few moments later, after all the men
had entered and taken their positions,
the destruction OF human life would
have been fearful to contemplate.

thing else to get people out OF doors
and acquainted with nature as seen in
the country.
There has been a marked diminution
during the past two years in the value
of the export OF bicycles from the Unit
ed States to foreign countries.
Millions have been made in the man.
ufacture of bicycles, but thousands OF
persons have been benefited in health,
something that is worth more to them
than the dollars they paid for their
wheels.

public acts, 2S3; private acts, o52; extent

New Machine Gun.

Herman II. Toll, boy OF Clarinda,
Iowa, has invented compound ma
chine gun which has excited the inter-
est OF Congressman w. p. Hepburn.
The gun or guns consist of IA rifles
OF small bore, which are mounted in a
carriage resembling a movers wagon.
The muzzles point out of the rear OF
the wagon and are arranged in twelve
tiers, with I2 guns in tier. All OF
these guns are connected by lever, by
one movement OF which all the guns
may be loaded, fired and the shells
elected. One operator can work the
guns.
Toll declares that at mile range the
gun can scatter bullets over a distance
OF 248 feet, putting bullet every two
feet. The compound gun, he declares,
has a capacity OF 800 bullets a min
ute, which is many times as great as
any gun now in use.
