THE WAR IN AFRICA,

The Beers are making 1t unexpected
" hot for the overwhelming British
force which is trying to relieve Wepen'
or, in the Orange Free State, 60 miles
southeast OF Bloemfontein, Though
q. 900 men were already 10 the British
relief columns, and the burghers are
outnumbered more than two to one
the columns have gotten 10 such tight
place that Lord Roberts has sent about
IL, 900 more troops, under Gems. Pole
CArew and French, two OF bis best com
msnders, to relieve them,
The Beers have thus apparently sue.
ceeded 10 drawing of nearly half OF The
maio British army from the advance on
WHICH is presumably sus.
peuded-the very thing the Beers de-
sire-while the flower OF ths British
army advances southeast to relieve AZ
out o!-the- way place on the Basutoland
frontier.
Gen. Bundle, commander OF the larg
eat Of the two original relief columns,
was at last advices still held up by the
Beers near De Vets dorp, about "a
miles northwest OF Wepener. He
fought indecisive engagements last Fri
day and Saturday, and on Sunday the
opposing forces were still confronting
each other. twenty-five Of Runde's
men were cut off and captured by the
Beers, as were also IL men of the Sew
epth Dragons.
General Brabant, commanding the
second relief column, advancing from
the south, was temporarily checked by
the Beers at Busbmsn's kop, 20 miles
south OF Wepener. He proceeded
about bis work with tactical skill, how
ever, and on Sunday, the date of the
latest advioes, was about to outfank
the Beers.
The column under Pole.Carew and
French, sent to assist Rumble, has ad-
vanced Is miles from Bloemfontein and
is AZ miles from Wepener. The Beers
DELAYED this column for short time by
making q stand at Leeuw kop, hign
hill southeast of Bloemfontein, but were
forced 10 retreat when almost encircled
by the British,
Exciting developments 10 the next few
days are probable. The overwhelming
orce of the relief columns is expected
to crush opposition.
The Beers, who forced Lord Methuen
to retreat to Boshof, 70 miles northwest
of Bloemfontein, are closing 10 on him
and may isolate him unless he quickly
retreats to Kimberley. Methuen has
about 10, 900 men.
Tee Cspetown CORE ;pondeDt of the
London Daily Mail says that General
Carrington's force Is the only one gong
TO the relief Of Mafeking, and that no
forca OF any kind is operating from the
south. 1t will be weeks before Caring
tou, who is to proceed by way of Portu-
guese East Africa and Rhodesia, can
reach Mafeking.

the consideration of the bill providing
against any interregpum in Porto Rico
by allowing military officers holding
civil positions in that island TO con-
tinue to act not later than August
The civil government bill recently
passed by Congress goes into effect
May and the present bill is designed
to avoid any difficulty the President
might experience 10 choosing all thu
civil officers ofthe government by that
date.
Mr.. Hill made the point OF order tina
the amendment proposed by the 10
sular affairs committee requiring the
Presidents approval before any fran
chises are granted 10 the island was moi
germsne.
The Speaker overruled the point OF
order on the ground that 1t was made
too late, so the franchise paragraph re-
co aims 10 the bill.
After an hours discussion, principal
ly on the necessity of restricting the
distribution OF franchises, the resolution
was passed.
The House then resumed cor sidera-
ton OF the postoffice appropriation

The population Of the city OF Lon
don within the municipal and parlla-
mentary limit, is very much smaller
than most people imagine, and strange
to say it is decreasing as years go on.
In 1881 it was 5O,65S, in 1891 it had
fallen to 37,7O5, and in 1896 1t was
only 81 Jas. This is due to the fact
that the city is devoted entirely to
business, and the tradesmen and 9TH
ers who have their shops and offices
there are gradually moving out into
the suburbs. 1t is only the residents
in a district that are included in the
census, SO that no matter how many
people are there during the day, If
they live elsewhere they are not
