Members Of Both Houses
Anxious for Adjournment
Early Next Month

Washington, May THE attention
of the house this week will be occupied
with various miscellaneous matters,
except such time as may be devoted
to the consideration of conference re-
ports on appropriation bills, which
will be given the right Of way. The
desire of both houses for an adjourn
ment early in June makes it abso-
lutely necessary to expedite the supply

general legislation to be acted upon
during the week will be the amended
senate bill to amend the general pen
sion laws. This bill was amended at
the request of prominent G. A. r. Of
ficials and is known as the G. A. r.

poses in existing law are provisions
for aggregating disabilities and equal
izing ratings and to increase the limit
of income of widows pensionable under
the act of 1890 to $3.50. The bill ap-
propriating $1,000000 for the militia

husband, who still held the baby in

a question to him as to which he should
save, his wife or baby. He therefore
let the baby go, in the hope that she
would be picked up by some one else,
and went to the assistance Of his wife.
He managed to hold her head above
water until Capt. Boyland reached
them. All three were then landed by
life lines. The half drowned captain
and his wife were removed to a hos

HAMILTON PREVENTS REUNION
Report From LOurenzO Marques Says
AaiekiRg Has Been Relieved and
5000 Beers Captured

London, May Lord Roberts IS
making better progress than any one
had dared to hope, and is meeting with
success at all points The only news
Of the actual occupation Of Winburg is
the incidental reference to 1t In a
dispatch from Vet River describing
Gen. POle-Carew's operations. but as
the latest news OF Gen. Hamilton's
operations, dated Saturday morning.
was that he was then preparing to
force the difficult passage over Little
Vet river, on the Bloemfontein-Win-
burg road. there Ia no doubt that the
news OF the occupation is accurate.
The Beers, following their customary
practice. had evacuated their positions
on the Vet river during Saturday
night. AS Lord Roberts, advancing
along the railway. and Gen. Hamilton,
20 miles TO the east, threatened the
two wings Of the Boer forces. 1t would
not be surprising to hear that they
had also evacuated Winburg.
Gen. Hamiltcn's advance will pre-
vent the Boer forces in the direction
of Thaba NChu joining their main
army near Winburg.
Gen. Rumble on Saturday had ar
rived in pursuit OF the Beers seven
miles north of Thaba N'Chu. compell-
ing the Beers TO retire In an easterly
direction.
Boer account OF the capture Of
Brandfort says:
"The federal forces, although weak
in numbers. offered strong resistance,
but they were forced by the over
wholming force opposed TO them to
evacuate the town"
Gen. Hunters progress. although
slower, is satisfactory. The idea that
tho relief of Mafeking Is in sight, how
ever. appears to have been premature,
as the Beers In that quarter are stu
stoutly resisting the British advance.
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Cape Town a special ex-
! pedition to the westward left Kimher-
ley a few days ago and will endeavor
to relieve Mafeldng. while Gen. Hun
ter and Lord Methuen are operating
on either side OF the Vaal river In con-
| junction with Lord Roberts army.
From Lourenzo Marques come var
ious rumors that Col. Plumer has been
reinforced and is again advancing to-
ward Mafeking. Another report says
that Mafeking has been relieved and

captured at Fourteen Streams.
