MAFEKING IN SERIOUS FIX.

London, April 16.-''The forward
movement of the Beers is checked, -
SAYS Lord Roberts. This is taken to
mean not by fighting, but by DISPOSE
tions to head off their advance and bar
their way to vulnerable points in the
line of British communications
Relief is on the way to Wepener.
The Beers in Natal appear incapable
of developing an aggressive movement.
Lord Methuen is twelve miles east of
lBoshof and is sending small, swift
columns through the adjacent country.
Lord Gresham, commanding one of
these, encountered small commando.
He found most of the farms occupied
by women and children only
An editorial note in the Daily Mail
AYERS that Mafeking is in very bad
way, and that the hope of relief is very
far off, as no force is advancing from
the south.
The war Office announces that 1000
horses will arrive at the Cape this week.
1t is well understood that the animals
are not fit for work until about ten
days after the voyage. Two thousand
more are due at the Cape next week.
The war Office has called out the re-
serve companies of several battalions,
which will be sent to South Africa
forthwith.
The Boer peace ENJOYS, now in Rome,
have documents showing that urgent
advances to the Transvaal to wage war
were originally made by Germany and
also assert that Count Won Buelow,
the German foreign minister, who was
said to have gone on visit to sick
brother, really went to Milan for the
express purpose of comforting with the
delegates.

STAMP YOUR DEEDS.
Deeds Not Stamped When Made Must Go
to the Collector.

Washington, April 16.--The commits
sioner of internal revenue has received
number of inquiries from registers of
deeds, clerks of courts and others ask
ing whether they would be justified in
recording deeds, ETC., which are sent
to them uRstamped. They represent
that deeds are often received from par
ties who cannot conveniently procure
stamps, asking that they be affixed by
the recorder.
The commissioner answers in the
negative, and in his reply states that
the grantor, or person who makes or
issues the instrument, should affiX and
cancel the stamp. If he omits to do SO
he incurs penalty of not more than
500. If, however, the omission is in
advertent, he may present the instru-
ment to the collector within a year
from the date or issue, pay the stamp
tax and present the instrument for
post stamping. The commissioner adj
vises that when an unstamped instru-
ment for record be received, it be
returned to the sender to be stamped,
charging for postage and time occupied
in the correspondence made necessary
by the omission of the stamp.

NEWS CATERERS NEW ROLE.
Chicago ChiofofPolice Wants Them
in Detective Department.
MEN WITH A NOSE FOR NEWS,

Chicago, April 14.-Chicago newspa-
per reporters may be enlisted in the
city police service Chief of Police
Ripley advises their appointment to
places in the detective department,
where they may serve as aids to the
officers commanded by Chief of De-
tectives Colleran. Chief Ripley ex-
pressed the opinion that, in the en-
ployment of active, wideawake news
gatherers, men trained by experience
and fitted by disposition to secure con-
viction as well as readable evidence,
the value of his present force would be
greatly augmented.
1.-The need for remembering minute
details of cases and court records after
their disposal before the proper tribun-
al peculiarly adapts newspaper man
for the work, - said Chief Ripley. ''Give
me few good lively newspaper men,
with a nose for news, lots of tenacity
and the ability to express themselves,
and 1 could catch the slickest rascals
whom the devil ever tempted
The recent robberies on the Lake
Shore drive, including the Potter resi-
dence, from which nearly $40, 600 worth
of jewels were stolen, and the apparent
utter inability of the detective force to
find clue, has, it is said, brought
Chief Ripley to the conclusion that tho
employment of newspaper men would
result in vast improvement in the
efficiency in that branch of the police
force.

lee Strong, who has heartily co-opera-
ted in the movement, and is an officer
of the International Express company,
said:
''The undertaking has been re-
markable success, and the American
soldiers in the Philippines are receiv-
ing an abundance of entertaining read
ing matter. By an arrangement with
our company each outgoing ship
agrees to carry free of charge two tons
of reading matter in the form of books,
magazines and papers. Last Saturday
we had more than four tons of such
material, and, rather than hold the
additional two tons here, our company
paid the freight charges on the extra

Bound to get to Cape Nome.

Seattle, Wash, April 16.-A letter
has been received here which was sent
from Vancouver, b. c., while the
British steamer Alpha was at that
port, stating that the captain of the
Alpha had demanded payment in adj
vance for the delivery of freight at
Nome. The 300 miners on board the
vessel refused to comply with the de-
mand and the captain said he would
proceed to some point on the north
coast and drive the mem ashore unless
they paid up. The miners agreed to
mutiny if this is done and will put the
captain ashore and steam to the
Siberian coast. The miners are organ
lied and armed and there is a large
stock of provisions on board the vessel.
The Alpha left Vancouver recently,
against the orders of the United States
revenue office, which forbade the YES
sci landing her freight at Nome.

Whether or not the Beers will make
