e1gnI monJns a1Jer rne aeclarar1on OF
war, Lord Roberts entered Pretoria.
While the commander-in.chief Of the
greatest army Great Britain ever put in
the field was fulfilling the promise he
made to the Guards at Bloemfontein to
lead them into the capital Of the Trans
vaal, England was celebrating the event
with wild enthusiasm. Throughout the
length and breadth Of the country the
news spread like wildfre.
"Based on the recollection Of recent
European wars when the occupation Of
the enemy's capital signified the end Of
hostilities, Lord Roberts terse telegram
was taken universally to mean the
practical finish Of the war, which has
tried Great Britain's military resources
as they were never tried before.
In London the Mansion House and
the war Office almost instantaneously
became the centers for jubilant throngs.
Flags again appeared as If by magic,
and traffic had to be diverted through
other streets. Hatless and coatless men
and boys ran through the city streets to
see for themselves the bulletins an
nouncing the good news and to stay to
Join in the Thunder Of Cheers
or add their voices to the joyful throngs
singing "God Save the Queen. =
Hats hoisted from thousands OF heads
were waved in exultant hands and
shimmered like coal bed in the sun.
Old men on top Of the or1nibuses and
aldermen from the windowso Of the Man
sion House encouraged crowds to still
further efforts. The premature report
OF the fall Of the Beers stronghold did
not seem to have taken the edge of the
days celebration. Lord Roberts Six
Miles Sprnit dispatch was hardly
printed BY the extras before the
Union Jack Of the war Office was hauled
up the flag staff and the brief message
was passed from month to mouth

Consul Hay Saws "Au Well"

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The two
words, "al WELL" was all that United
States Consul Hay had to send to the
state department. upon the occasion of
the occupation of Pretoria by the Brit.
ish. Probably the consul, knowing that
the news Of Lord Roberts occupation
would reach the state department
through the regular news channels, felt
that it was only necessary for him to
assure the department that the United
States consulate had not been disturbed
in the critical period incident to the
abandonment Of the Boer capital by its
former defenders.

.'frGtorla IS occupied"
Those who had had chance to read
Lord Roberts account Of the resistance
encountered Monday were at that mo-
ment commenting on the
~ Probability OF a Fierce Fight
before the city was occupied and were
wondering at the Beers capabilities to
make such determined stand when
Pretoria was hemmed in on all sides.
The pressure Of General French, north
OF the Boer capital, came as surprise,
and explained the commander-in-chief' 8
reticence anent the position Of the ener-
getic cavalry leader. It was evident
that Lord Roberts delayed attacking
until all his column were ready to CO.
operate, but even when Lord Roberts
wired that this was accomplished, there
seemed possibility Of some fighting,
80 when the next momentous dispatch
mnssg given ont it came as sEsurprise.
Judging from Lord Roberts phrase
ology the occupation Of Pretoria was
not accompanied by any loss Of life.
What has happened to the Boer forces
which SO insistently opposed the British
advance at Six Mile Spruit, can only be
surmised. But, presumably, they have
got away for the present at any rate.
The war Office has information that
one of the first things done by Lord
Roberts after the occupation of Pretoria
was to direct General French to relieve
the British prisoners confined at Water

COMMISSION ENDS
 MEMPHIS SESSION Chairman Kyle Suddenly Called
 to Washington. NEGRO FARMERS ON STAND
They Did Not Predict Bright Future for the Race Industrial Commission Will Probably Make Trip
 to Birmingham.

Memphis, Tenn, March 23.-The sub | committee of the Industrial commission concluded it's labors this afternoon and left for Washington tonight. The stay in Mem phis completed the commissions tour of the south, but 1t is probable that a visit will be made to Birmingham, Jacksonville and New Orleans before the information it desires to gain about the conditions in the south is regarded as complete. Senator Kyle. chairman of the commission, received a telegram this morning calling him to Washington.
 The committee had session this morn ing and examined a number of witnesses. The most interesting feature of the session was the testimony of two negro farmers. They were examined as to the conditions of their race as compared with times be- fore the war, and also as to the opportuni- ties which are offered negroes in the south. The testimony of the negroes did not tell of an encouraging future to the negro, and confirmed what had been related to the committee by other witnesses. One old ne- gro, 6S years of age, related how he had gone to work shortly after the war on a plantation adjoining his masters and by hard labor had accumulated quite for tune. He said other negroes had the same opportunities, but few of them took advan- tage of them.
 IL. c. Bach, lawyer and cotton planter of Little Rock, Ark, spoke with interest of the improved conditions throughout his state, which improvement. he said was due in the main to the high price al which cot ton has been ruling this season. He told of the improvement made in stock raising in the southern section of Arkansas.
 J. W. Myers of this city, a representative of the Retail Clerks union, spoke at length and Interestingly of the general welfare of Hhlonsm.
 James s. Davant commissioner of the Memphis freight bureau, was the next wit ness to be heard. He entered thoroughly into the bill of transporta ton and freight rates lengthy discussion on rates of freight to intermediate points in compari- son with rates from St. Louis was entered into.
 Several other gentlemen were heard be- fore the close.

There yet remains one game to be played, and that will take place in Nashville next Friday night between Birmingham and Nashville. If Birmingham wins then it will give her percentage of .750 and the championship, but if she loses the teams will all be tied with two games won and two lost each.
 The athletic club has arranged for spe- cial car to take the players and their friends that may wish to go to Nashville next Fri day. If as many as thirty tickets are sold for this the fare for the round trip will be $6 and if forty or more go 1t will be only $5. It Is understood that quite a crowd will go up to Nashville to ''root' for the boys.
 After the game last night the athletic club invited the visitors to the Arlington hotel, where a very apetizing supper had been prepared for them.

PASSING OF AN OLD FIRM
L. Rogan & Co.,, Bought Out by Klotz 6c
 Goldman

Simon Klotz, of this city, and Godfrey Goldman, of Montgomery. have purchased the merchant tailoring and gents furnish ing establishment of L. Rogan & Co., in First avenue. It is understood that the new concern will maintain the high stand ard of the old house.
 The passing out of business of the old firm, composed of L. Rogan and his son. D. H. Rogan, is a noteworthy happening. The Rogans had been in business here for thirteen years, and ranked among Birming hams foremost merchants. They had a splendid trade enjoying as they did an en- via'ole reputation throughout the state.
 MT. Klotz is one of Birmingham's best merchants and one of the most popular men personally in this city, and his friends are congratulating him on this move which means a great expansion in his bus mess. His partner, MT. Goldman, is a com- paatively young man, who stands very high in Montgomery. He will be decided acquisition to the mercantile life of Bir- mingham.

The populist state convention, which was called to meet in Montgomery on May 10, will probably be held in this city during the latter part of April
 At the special meeting of the Commercial club held yesterday afternoon, President Anderson stated that Dr. G. B. Crowe chairman of the state populist committee, had informed tlfm that he would call the convention of his party to meet in this city if Gine Commercial club would agree to furnish hall in which to meet, or raise fund sufficient to pay for one, and on motion of Joseph Beitman. the secretary was directed to secure the Auditorium for the purpose.
 Dr. Grove, the state chairman. left the city yesterday afternoon, but it Is under stood that he will call the committee to meet the latter part of April. on a date yet to be determined.
 A cah was issued in December for the state convention to be held in Montgom- cry on May 10. but the fact that the na- tional popuiSt convention meets two days pltor to that date necessltates the moving forward of the date for the state con- penton.
