LORD ROBERTS ADVANCE
ON FREE STATE CAPITAL

London, March IS, 4:30 a. m.-Lord
Roberts is making very rapid advance
and he is again misleading the Beers
by continuing the advance southwark
instead of through the flat country due
east of AasvogeI kop. He viii probably

TEN, and although another battle is
possible, it is more likely that the Beers
are only endeavoring to delay his
advance until all the rolling stock Of
the railway and the stores and troops
from the Orange River district can be
gotten away. SUCH confidence is now
felt in the military operations that in
terest rather centers in the political
aspects Of the war.
The Daily News quotes WhtelawReid
as saying in a private letter: I give
you hearty congratulations on the
changed aspect Of the war. 1t is an i'm
mense relief to US all as we'll as TO

EFFORTS TO RESTORE
PEACE IN TRANSvAAL
United States Transmits An Appeal From the Re-
publiCS to Great Britain.
Good Offices Of This Country Being Used But Not in the
Form of Tender of Mediation.

Washington, March 12.-There is rea-
son to believe that the United States
government is using its good offices TO
restore peace between Great Britain
and the South African republics. This
has not taken the shape of a prefer OF
mediation. That would be distinctly re-
pugnant TO Great Britain, and accord

Pauncefote Calls on Hay.
Lord Pauncefote called at the state
department late n the afternoon and
spent half an hour with Secretary Hay.
If he was made acquainted with the
tenor OF any communication relative to
peace that may have come from Pre-
toria, he gave no sign OF the fact
The officials of the department also
maintained a reserve respecting this
subject that was impenetrable, and ali
that could be obtained from them was
an injunction TO await the develop
ments Of the next tWenty-fOur hours.
II is surmiSed from that that the de-

the subject by a regard for the diplO-

JUDGE HENDERSON TALKS.
One of the Fathers of Democratic
Party In Utah.

Mr.. Game introduced Judge H. p.
Henderson as one Of the fathers of
che Democratic party in Utah.
Utah was the last state admitted
TO the Union, and this, the youngest Of
all the states, has the duty of opening
the presidential campaign of 1900 We
nave the duty of opening the discus
sion or the principles that will decide
the coming campaign. When we saw
how near We came to electing a presi-
Dent IN 1880 we decided that the cam
palgn Of 1900 must begin at once. and
1t has been going on since that time

and each laying the blame on the other
Tor mistakes that have been made.
Those in favor Of the free coinage of
silver in 1896 preached the doctrine in
1 Utah and other western states from
the national platform. and they prom
. ised the people Of New England that
the platform stood for the single gold
standard
In the last four years they have
stripped of the mask and they stand
strongly upon the single gold standard.
The Utah state convention forgot there
was such~a question and said nothing
about II one way or the other. Mr..
Hammond would say nothing when
asked at Provo the other day. In an
swer 10 question about his position
he said h rather preferred the senate
currency bill to that of the house. and
there is not a line in either one for free
coinage.

i'He viii consider only national Gues-
tons. His vote VIII bind Massachu-

THE WALLACE CIRCUS

Shows on the Road This Year.

In point of equipment the Great Wal

No money, Is spared. no expense consid-
cred too great 10 obtain the best that
art and ingenuity have devised in this
department OF industry. .
All the latest improvements, all the
costly inventions and Innovations in
equipment are placed under contribu-
ton, and as result Mr.. Wallace can
boast OF three trains of cars that equal
anything in America or Europe.
The trains, owing to the new safety
and labor-saving devices with which
they are equipped. are a never-faiing
source of interest and admiration to
railroad men and they may be seen
gathered around them examining and
discussing the parts for hours at time
whenever the show visits an important
railroad center.
There are times when ones power Of
description falls. There are occasions
when mere words seem weak and pnny

which they are engaged. This is case

They are the acrobats OF the age. de-

Nelson's are urder contract to The
Great Wallace Shows and appear only

paid them is $3.50 for every week OF
service. This is due to the fact that
