THE ENGLISH ADVANCE.

< GROOTVIEL (Twenty-three miles
south of Vereeniging), Sunday, May 81.
Lord Roberts northern advance force
steadily continues and to-day the
Transvaal hills were sighted. Gen.
French has secured an excellent flank
ing position on the northwest. There
is something irresistible about this ad-
vance. The troops have been splendid
ly handled and the Beers, completely
out-manoeuvred, have been forced to
abandon their positions at the first ap-
pearance of the British fianking force,
which has made a determined resist
ance at the Vaal impossible.
Many Transvaal Burghers are now
treking homeward and it is safe to say
that the most irreconcilable Trans
waller at last recognizes the hopeless
ness of the struggle. Most of the farms
in the northern part of the Free State,
where the ties of blood with the
Transvaal are stronger, have been de-
serted. This section has been flooded
with false tales of British cruelty. re-
ports of the burning of farm houses
and the eviction of women and chill
dren, in the hope of inducing the
Burghers to remain with the comman-
does, but the evidence all points now
to the existence of permanent feel
ing of enmity between the Transvaal-
ers and the Free Staters, each accusing
the other of treachery and cowardice
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
Transvaal government will go to Lyd-
enburg, where food is scarce. A body
of Beers, mostly on foot, is trekking
hard towards Vereeninging from the
direction of Hebron.
The condition of the British troops
continues excellent, although the cold
nights are very trying. They are able
to march three miles an hour.
The Beers have destroyed every
bridge and culvert. They are said to
regard Klipriverberg, north of the
Vaal, as a position of great strength
and talk of making themselves I'M
pregnable there.
1t is reported that the population of
johannesburg is in high state of ex-
element. The Beers who are passing
through northward threaten to blow
up the mines. and in view of their
wanton destruction of everything else
i, wound not be surprised if they car
ried out the threat.
The British are more interested.
however, in grazing and in the water
supply than in the mines.

eigners in the Boer ranks; but this is
hardly credible.
The indications are that a pitched
battle is imminent at Laings Mex,
where Gen. Butler faces the Beers, re-
inforced and seemingly determined
with an estimated strength of from
5000 to 10000 men, The reinforce
ments include large party from Lady
brand and fresh commanders from
Pretoria
Gen. Buffers officers are doubtful of
the ability of the Beers to display the
same tenacity as in the fighting at
Ladysmith. The British are confident
that when the moment arrives they
will be able to force the passes.
Two boxes of dynamite fuse have
been found under the New Castle city
hall. Gen. Butler is causing numerous
arrests of suspected rebels. Forty-two
have been sent to Pietermaritzburg Mr..
Gawthorpe, chemist, and his wife,
have been arrested on charge OF high
treason.
With the exception of a few shots
exchanged with the retiring Beers, at
Vereenging, the only fighting during
the last two days with all the great
armies in the field apvears to have
been two small engagements in the
eastern part of the Free State. At
Ficksburg on Saturday the Beers at
tackled the British occupying the town
but they were forced to retire towards
Slabberts Mex. A Maseru correspon-
dent wires the fact, adding that moth
ing is known regarding casualties.
The same day Gen. Brabants scouts
located 200 Beers entrenched near Clo-
colan. The scouts advanced within 200
yards, when the Beers fired heavily.
The scouts retired and four are miss
ing
Gen. Rumble is slowly sweeping the
eastern section Of the Free State Oc-
casionally his squadrons come across
parties of Beers, two or three in num-
Der and usually on foot who are wear
lily going to their farms. Some of them
carry saddles on their backs. Whole
sale surrenders are expected out thus
far they have not occurred in that
region. Small commanders are describ-
ed by the correspondents as hurry.ng
to and fro and finding every road bar
red.

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-This is the
twentieth day of the street railway
strike and the end seems as far away
as ever, both the Transit company and
its employees standing firm. Not car
on the Transit company's system has
been run since the stike began with
out police protection. In consequence
of there being not enough police to
guard the 500 or more cars usually ope-
Grated, less than quarter of that num-
Der has been run by the company over
only part of its twenty-five divisions
and lines.
Since the eighth of May, when the
strike began, there have been numer-
GUS collisions between the police and
the strikers and the latter's sympathiz-
ers. Hardly a day during that time
has passed without somebody being
wounded by bullets or injured by fly
ing missiles and police clubs. The list
of casualties shows four persons shot
and killed, twenty-five wounded by
bullets and fifty or more injured in
other ways.
Two of the killed were innocent by
ISLANDERS, the others being a striking
motorman and an emergency police
man. Several of the wounded are in
critical condition and may die.
1t is said by the strikers that less
than fifty of their numbers, 325-who
struck have returned to work. These,
with the street car men imported from
other cities, are operating the Transit
companys cars. 1t is asserted that
at least fifty of the imported men have
joined the strikers.
All the points of issue between the
company and its striking employees
have been agreed to expect that of re-
instating all the men who went out
in their old positions. The company
refuses to displace the men hired since
the strike began while the strikers de-
cline to sign any agreement that does
not give all the old men their places
again.
A meeting of citizens has been call
ed for tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose of discussing plans for the
amicable settlement of the strike.
To-day was uneventful The first
cars to run over the Transit Com
pany's lines since 10 a. m. Saturday,
were sent out this morning over the
Delmar avenue, Page avenue, Spauld-
ing avenue, Compton Heights Park av-
enue, Laclede avenue and Olive. street
lines. The weather being fair the cars
were crowded from early morning I'M
til p. M, when they ceased running,
by persons going, to and from the
parks and western suburbs. The lines
mentioned run east and west and in
consequence the main dependence of
those living in the north and south
portions of the city was on wagons and
buses or the cars of the suburban sys-
tenn, which operates only in a limited
area, compared to that covered by the
Transit system.
AS result of an encounter between
striking and non-striking employees OF
the Transit system, three men were
shot, one being fatally and the Others
seriously wounded.

A PROPHECY.

Over forty years ago an old German
hermit published in Bavarian paper
a curious prophecy. In it he foretold
the Ausiro- Russian the Franco Russian
Wars, the death of Pope Plus, and the
Turo-Greeian debate at sims. He said
that Germany would have three EN-
perors 10 one year before the end of she
century, and indicated the death Of two
United States Presidents by sssassina-
tion, and a these things have come to
pass.
In the same article he said that when
Inc twentieth century opens great
seismic disturbances will take place,
which will cause the subversion OF
New York city and the western half OF
the city of Havana; Cuba is 10 break in
two, while Florida and Lower California
will suffer total extinction. The earth
1uskes will TsZ9 buildings to the
ground in almost every city on the
continent, and millions OF lives aud
billions of dollars worth of property
will be lost.
There is to be change in economic
conditions of almost every civilized ma
tion. He fortells the growth OF d dem
ocra;ic spirit 10 England which will re-
suit 10 revolution that will overthrow
The pr, sent form of government and
make the country a republic. He says
the last ruler of Z gland will he the
best the country ever bad, and the first
president Of the nation will be one Of
the royal family.
The GeImit prophesied that Russia,
France aud Italy would form an alliance
and euter into war with Turkey. This
war is 10 be the outgrowth Of Turkeyish
persecution OF Christian subjects. The
ripple alliance will conquer the dOmaius
Of the "Sick Man of The East" Attbe
expiration of the war compile ltiops
will arise that will plunge Ilaly ana
France into war with Russia. The re-
suit will be that the two countries will
be gobbled up by northern powers and
will cease to exist as independent ma
tions. While war is being waged be-
tween them the Pope will move the
seat OF Catholicism from Rome to south
Irelaud. A rebellion will take
place in the land of the Shan :
rock, IN which that country will be-
come independent of England. Theh
a conflict will arise between the ultra
Catholics OF the south of Iceland and
Tue ultra Protestants OF the north; in
which the southerners will be victOri-
Gus. A kingdom will be established,
and it is predicted that the reign of the
firrt potentate will become historic for
its tyranny.
The prophet paints dark picture
for the United States. He says that at
the close OF the century feeling OF IN.
rest will seize the people. The feeling
will be the outgrowth of unequal socie-
y economic conditions. He predicts
lhst the 25th President will be the last
executive mead of the United States.
During his administration the masses
will break into open rebellion, the es-
taDlshed form of government will be
rent asunder, and for year or more
anarchy will prevail. When order
shall be brought out of caaos, six re-
publics will be formed, with capitals at
the following cities: San Francisco,
Denver, St. Louis, New Orleans, Wash
'Jgton and Boston.
