READY FOR A SIEGE.
Beers Erecting Entrenchments at
Pretoria and Will Resist.


London, March GA special to the
Times from Lourenzo Marques, dated
March 4, says: Persistent reports
continue that the Transvaal republic
has opened negotiations looking to the
securing of peace. On the other
hand IL Is asserted the Beers will
make stand at Glencoe and Laing's
mex, and that in the meantime en-
trenchments at Pretoria are being eN-
tended in anticipation of siege. A
conference between the Botr presi-
dents, II is added, and the general
commanding the Beers In northern
Natal was hurriedly arranged OH re
ceipt OF the news Of Gen. Cronje's
surrender. Until Thursday night Of
fetal confirmation Of the surrender
was withheld from the public. Pres
ident Kruger sent fervid religious APP
peal with orders that II should be
read by all the officers TO the burgh-
ers urging them to stand fast and
strive in the name of the Lord for,
unless they had faith in Him, coward
ice would set in and their position
would be hopeless the moment they
turned their backs on the enemy.
Their past victories, he declared,
showed that the Lord was on their
side. The president beseeched the
burghers not to bring destruction on
their progeny. Continuing, the spe-
cial says that high authority in
Bloemfontein declares that in the
event of repulse Of the Free State
forces, the latter will retire towards
the Transvaal and unite with their
brethren there, maintaining the strug-
gle to the last.
England Must Borrow.

Washington, March 6.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, in anticipation of the reply
to the senate inquiry for record Of
the court-martial that tried him for
alleged cowardice, addressed to Sena-
tor Davis, of Minnesota, an appeal for
an immediate examination of his sol
dierly record from the day he entered
the service of the United States as a
l0-year-old boy, IS years ago, up to
the present time. Moreover, he au-
thorized the senator TO present his
(Corbin's) resignation TO the presi-
dent il the search reveals a sugges-
tion Of unworthiness. The latter in
cludes the findings OF the court
martial which most honorably ac-
quilted Lieut.. Col. Corbin Of the
charge. Gen. Grants letter comforting
upon him two breyets for gallant
services at the time he was charged
with cowardice. and, finally, letter
from the colonel Of the regiment who

LoANING BRITAIN GOLD.



Paris, March 6.-The big upward
jump in the stock of the Bank of
France of 55 francs per share let the
cat out of the bag and betrayed the
government, which, despite its pre-
vious denials and equivocations, has
permitted the national bank to supply
England with some OF the necessary
gold for the Transvaal war. The big
rise In Bank Of France stock was due
TO the success Of the English arms
in the Transvaal. Not only the bank,
but number of big French capi-
talists. have been quietly loaning their
gold to England under the cover of
the uationalists' howls against En-
gland, which kept the masses Of the
French people unsuspicious. AS long
as France, however, acts as banker
for England there is not the slightest
fear of French intervention, as the
interests OF the country lie In the
pocket books and are affected by the
success of the English army.

IN THE STORMS GRASP.


Chicago, March 6.-For the past 80
hours the states of Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and Wis
consin have experienced a series Of
storms remarkable for their severity.
The center, however, appears to have
been through Wisconsin and Illinois
and along Lake Michigan where heavy
snow, changing to hail then to rain
and accompanied by wind that at
times amounted to gale, has resulted
in a partial decentralization of the tele-
graph and telephone service and has
badly crippled railway service.
At Duluth and st. Paul. MINI, Du-
buque, Ia, and La Crosse and Milwau-
kee, Wis, snow has fallen ranging In
depth from three inches in Dubuque
TO 20 inches in Milwaukee. Chicago
was pelted with snow, rain and hail
alternately, all in large quantities,
while at Omaha and st. Louis heavy
rain and sleetstorms lasted for hours.

FOUR MILLION A MONTH.


New York, March st is the in
tention Of the treasury department,
as soon as the pending financial bill
becomes law, to expedite as fast as
possible the coinage of the silver bull
lion purchased under the sherman
act still remaining in the treasury.
There is still on hand bullion pur-
chased under this act costing s7S,0O0,-
COS, and represented by that amount
Of treasury notes outstanding. The
department has been coming this bull
lion into dollars at the rate of 81 ,s00,.
600 a month. The financial bill au-
thoriles the coinage of enough of this
bullion into subsidiary coins to bring
the total subsidiary coinage up to
500, 100000. This will require about
S25, 100000 in subsidiary coins. In ad-
dition to this the department pro-
poses to increase the coinage of sl
yer dollars to S4,OO0,OOO month.
