fortO RICdn larfft Question. -
Macrum's Charges. --MoIineux Sem
tenced. --Other Notes.
The tide of war in South Africa
seems 10 have turned at last in favor
of the British. Last week Lord Rob-
erts directed a movement which re-
lleyed Kimberley, removed the pres
sure OF the Beers about Gen. Methuen
on the MOdder and began the invasion
of the Orange Free State i'm the diree-
tion Of its capital, Bloomfontein. Rob
erts assembled a very large force of
cavalry, infantry and field artillery
some miles southeast Of Modder river.
Gen. French, by a rapid movement of
cavalry, seized the fOrds or drifts of
the Reit river and later Of the Modder,
east of where Methuen was, on the
Boer left wing. The infantry followed
as fast as possible. The Beers we've
evidently surprised, and Gen. Cronie,
IN command OF their army on the Mod
der, began a precipitate retreat toward
the north and east the British follow
ing and assailing his rear, which re-
sisted stubbOrnly. The last report was
that ofonle was practically surround
ed and had been offered terms Of capit-
ulation. Gen. French pushed on TO
Kimberley and communication with
that city has been restored. The Brit
ish captured a large number of wagons
and supplies. The Beers, in turn, by
striking the British in rear, took about
200 wagons There has been some
fighting in the Stormberg and Coles
burg sections, with the Beers the gain
ers. The Beers are evidently with !
drawing from the Tugela and from the |
investment OF Ladysmith. Gen. Bull |
Ter has driven the Beers from their hill |
positions south OF the river and the re-
port came yesterday that Ladysmith /
was relieved. The Beers will prob t
ably try to concentrate somewhere |
within their own borders.

Paris, April 22.-While the work goes on
necessarily night and day the installation
of exhibits at Frances colossal exposition
is still greatly retarded.
The gates are closed TO visitors at
o'clock in the evening. when freight cars
and wagons loaded with exhibits are "a
lowed to enter the grounds; and from
that time on the exhibition resembles
vast workshop, with is changing hammers
and swarms of French workmen busily
enga ged on the completion Of the Interior
of the buildings and in arranging the eX-
hibits. Even during visiting hours the
work inside the palaces goes steadily for
ward.
The immense crowds present on the
opening two days-Easter Sunday and
Monday-haVe now dropped to about half
their number, but the exposition author
tiles declare themselves thoroughly sat
ished. as the figures stil exceed those or
the opening days # the exposition OF
1889. The attendance now averages about
10000 daily about one-half of whom pay
for admission.
The emptiness of the real exhibition
buildings has been source of increased
revenue to mum beress midway shows
the managers of many of which were
ready last Sunday, and are already reap
ing satisfactory harvest. Many of these
sdeshows are extremely attractive and
realistically mounted, such as the Swiss
Village, which exhibition is an education
in itself. The Colonial section is espe-
caly fruitful in these lively places of
amusement, in which the figure and ORR
entail dances are even more risque than
the now famous dance du ventre. WHAT
ever may be the name eventually given
10 this side of the exposition, it win I'M
doubtedly prove as great an attraction
as the similar quarter known as the
Midway at Chicago, judging from its
popularity up to this time.
President Loubet next week will begin
a series of visits to the exposition, sec
ton by section, as they are completed,
and he will accept all invitations 10 at
tend the Inauguration of the various for
eign exhibits.
Installation day, May 10, has been form
ally designed for the opening of the
American pavilion, which is nearing COM
pletion, though work on the interior still
continues. The Italian pavilion, which Is
generally recognized as the largest and
most artistic and ornate of all the for
egn structures, will be opened to the pub
lie tomorrow.

Total Increase in Their Value for
1899 Was SIS1 100000.

Washington. April 22.-According to ce-
turns representing between so and 80 per
cent. of the total tonnage the production
Of coal In the United States In 1899 is es-
timated by Edward W. Parker Stats
tician of che United States geological sur
yey, to have amour ted to 23O, s3s ,973 long
tons, equivalent to 25s, $685. $50 short tons.
This indicates an increase of over 3d.,
100000 long tons or IT'S per cent. over
1888 These figures exceed by 5000 900
short tons, the outside estimates hereto
fore made on the coal tonnage for 1899.
The production of 220,000,O00 short tons in
1898 was nearly 20000,0 900 in excess of that
in 1897, and both of these years were BAN
ner years in the industry.
The totel value of this enormous prod
uct is estims ted at $3.50 49, 412 an increase
of over s51, 100000 or practically 20 per
cent. over thek value Of the product in
1898
The part that anthracite coal played
in this unprecedented production was an
increase from 1868 75 long tons, or 3d.,
49,, GA short tons, in 1898 to So, S57, 496 long
tons, or 5000, 1886 short tons, in 1899, with
an increase in value from SIS, 414, 537 TO $ss.-
1913, 493, a gain of nearly sl3, 600 900. Bitumi-
nous production QncludinG semi-anthr1-
cite, semi bituminous, camel, block, and
llgHlt6 cOdlS), eSt1ma ted Tor 1893 at a
total of 1928, 255 shows an increase of
over 31,eOO0O0 short tons, and a gain of
nearly s39, coo coo in value. Georgia, Arkan-
sas and Idaho alone, failed to participate
III the general increase. The decrease in
Georgia was very small.
Another interesting and unusual feature
Of coal production in 1899 was the fact
that there was an advance in prices the
first instance of the kind in ten years.
The total estimated output of Georgia
and North Carolina for 1899 is 800, 00S short
tons against 255, 6S2 for 1898
The production and consumption of coal
is closely associated with that of pig iron
and of manufactured iron and steel The
production of pig iron in 1899 was IS, 7CO 900
long tons against II, 1874 long tons in
1898. The total value in 1899 was about
$246 800 600, or SIS per ton, against S1165j7 00O
in 1898 when the average price was less
than $40 per ton. This makes an icrease Of
$4,000 C0 and the increase of $51, 900 900 in
The value of the coal product makes to-
tai increase of 1851, 10000, which. without
any increase in the other mineral produce
ton would make the total value of min
eral products in 1899 about $500 600, CO.,

HEAVY RAINS AT WAYCROSS.
SatiIIa River May OverfOw--A Disas-
trouS Blaze.

trOus Blaze.
Waycross, Ga, April 22.-The rains con-
tinue to come down in torrents in this
section, and unless they cease soon great
damage win result. The Satilla river is
on a big boom and rose five feet last night.
1t will be over its banks by Monday. Up
to Thursday morning the gauge showed a
rainfall of 2.03 inches, and it now registers
nearly five inches for the week A large
area of lowland is under water, with pros
poets for a still greater deluge. More wa
ter has fallen here during the past week
than during any similar period in several
years. Last week there was a wall
among the farmers on account of the
drought, but the tune has changed and
many are fearful that, their crops will be
ruined.
The fire department was called out
Friday night to a blaze in the
southern part of the city. The fire orig
mated in a negro house near the Jack
sonvil:e crossing, and five houses were
burned down before the flames could be
gotten under control Being in the ex-
treme outskirts Of the CITY, there was no
water on hand, and the firemen could rem
der very little assistance. A greater part
of the furniture was saved, however.
The loss was considerable, but was COW
ered by insurance. II Is not known now
the fire started.
At the meeting of South Georgia's Camp
Confederate Veterans held yesterday af-
