FACE BRITONS;
BIG BATTLE IMMINENT
General BOtha Probably viii Make His
Stand Near Thaba N'Chu, and
Set Up Terrible Resistance

London, May 2.-Fighting. heavier
than any since Ladysmith, seems to be
imminent near Thaba N'Chu. The
dispatches Of Lord Roberts dated Mon
day and Tuesday show that the Boer
rear guard stubbornly resisted his ad-
vance, forcing the British on Saturday
and Sunday to act chiefly on the defen-
sive. General French, who is directing
the operations, has at least $4,000 men.
Some estimates give him 100000 The
Beers are estimated to be at least 5000
strong, and possibly 10000.
According TO a dispatch from Pre-
toria. dated April 2s, they were ex-
pecting to give battle, and have numer-
Gus artillery. So long as the Beers en-
gage the attention of half of Lord Rob-
erts' force at Thaba N'Chu his ad-
vance will be delayed. No one here,
however, considers that General Botha
will be able to stand longer than few
days. The feeling is that he must be
beaten off by the masses of Lord Rob-
erts.
The Beers attacked the British out
pests at Boshof, the headquarters ol
Lord Mathuen. on April 2S, but with.
cut result. The British guns at War.
renton shelled the Beers out of theii
half constructed trenches Sunday.

of the Isthmain canal commission, as
saying that the commission was not
yet prepared to say whieh was the best
route Nh Cannon contended that the
authorization OF the construction OF
the canal over the Nicaraguan route
at this time would delay its building
for years and cost the government $780,
900. 1000.
The debate also developed other
lines Of opposition. Some Of the DEM
ocrats insist that the amendments
striking the words defend" and "for-
tifications' from the bill are designed
to make it harmonious with the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. and that it is there
fore objectionable, and Mr.. ShaeAle-
ford. of Missouri, desired the bill
amended so that II the treaty is rati-
fed the bill will go into effect. The
anomalous situation is therefore pre-
sented Of practically every member on
the floor protesting his friendship for
the canal and yet of powerful opposi-
tion arrayed against it on various
grounds.

NICARAGUA CANAL
BILL UP IN HOUSE
Powerful Leaders of Majority, Though
FavOring Canal, Think the Time
is Not Ripe for Work

Washington, May 2--For the first
time during the so years of agitation
of the project for the construction Of
an interoeeanic canal the house yes
terday entered upon the consideration
OF a measure 30 actually authorize the
building Of the canal. Many times
propositions bearing upon the subject
have been before the house, but this
was the first time positive action can
be predicated. Today the bill will be
voted upon before adjournment The
debate yesterday was memorable be-
cause of the unexpectedly powerful op-
position it developed. Mr.. Burton, Of
Ohio, chairman Of the rivers and har-
bors committee; Mr.. Hit, OF Illinois,
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, and MIR. Cannon, of Illinois,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, threw the weight Of their in
fiuence against it, not because they are
opposed to the building OF the canal,
but because they considered that the
time for authorizing its construction
was not ripe.
Mr.. Burton and Mr. Hit contended
that the bill would violate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. which guarantees the
neutrality OF the canal. and Mr.. Can

OLD BAPTIST
CHURCH BURNED
Meeting House at Summit
Bridge Destroyed
BUILT SEIENTY.ETGH YEARS
Benjamin BOHlden. It's Founder. Lies
Buried Beneath The Old Building.
Was a a" Hard Shell" Baptist
BUILT SEVENTT-EIGHT YEARS

One Of Delaware's oldest churches,
the Baptist Meeting House at Summit
Bridge, st. Georges hundred. has been
destroyed by fire.
The destruction occurred ON Sunday
night. On that day q farmer Of the
neighborhood burned a brush heap.
and sparks from the fire communicated
to the old meeting house, completely
destroying ii. The loss is slight, as the
old building was in a state OF decay, It
having stood for seventy-elght years.
during which time many Baptists and
MethOdists wOrshiped under its roof.
Il was a one-story brick structure OF
colonial design History says OF il:
About 1922 Benjamin Boulder
erected a building in the northwest
eln part OF the hundred, TO be used for
church purposes. The eastern end of
the building was for the school and
the remainder for the church. At his
ueath he devised It to the trustees OF
the Second Baptist Church Of VIII
mington. The devise being void on
account Of its being made too short a
time previous to his death, it vested in
his heirs, when his sister, Mrs. Davis
knowing his wish. conveyed it to the
trustees. Occasional services have been
held in this building by the Baptists
and previous to the erection OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Sum
NIT Bridge regular services we're held
in it by the Methodists"
Gl.AVE OF THE BUILDER.
The body of Benjamin Boulden is
buried under the old building. Before
the destruction Of the church a plair
board showed the location Of the re-
