KRUGER FAVORS PEACE.
But President Steyn
Does Not.
Free State Executive Is Now The
Stumbling Block.
Kruger Had To Continue
The War.
No News Of Fresh Fighting Has
Been Received.

London, June 16.-4 a. m.-Lord Rob-
erts' dispatches leave affairs east of Pre-
toria with the Boers withdrawn to new
positions Tuesday. News of fresh fight
ing is expected at the war Office, but none
came last night.
General BUNDLES patrol had slkrimish
with the Boer videttes against Wednes-
day. Some wonder Is expressed here as to
what he is doing with three divisions. 1t
is assumed by some that General Butler
will move into Orange river colony and
cooperate with Lord Methuen and General
Rumble in bagging President Steyn and
his seven or eight thousand followers.
Part of Christian Botha's force has
halted at Paariekop, IS miles northwest
of Volksrust. Boer parties are still near
Volksrust and fire occasionally upon the
British pickets.
A despatch from Lourenco Marc uez,
dated yesterday, says:
Persons have arrived here who have
seen the preparations of the Beers and
learned that they will retire, when forced
through the Lydenburg district into the
Zoutspanberg region, adjoining Rhodesia
and GaZaland."
Boemfontein, dated Wednesday, saying:
''Gen. De Vets attack on the railway
was made after he had succeeded in
Turing Lord Methuen from where he had
destroyed the line. Then he cleverly
seized 1t north of Kroonstad, blew up the
bridge and destroyed long section Of the
line with dynamite.
Major General Baden Powell has been
appointed to the temporary rank of lieu
tenant general.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph in despatch dated yes
terday, says:
II understand that General De Wet in
addition to the Derbyshire battalion,
captured two companies OF the city
volunteers and two companies OF yeo-
manry, two men only escaping to tell the
tale.b
The Lourenco Marquee correspondent
of the Times, says:
1T appears that Steyn and not Kruger
Is now the stumbling block In the way of
the surrender of the burghers. Shortly
after the British entry into Pretoria, Mr..
Kruger proposed to reopen the peace ne
gotiations. Mr.. Steyn, bearing in mind
that his former advice was secuted, de-
INJURED to this and pointed out that, ac-
cording to the treaty between the repub-
lies, neither could conclude peace without
the other.
Mr. Kruger, equally unwilling to incur
the charge of "a breach of faith, had to
continue the war. Nothing further is
known regarding the rumored peace ne
gotiations but 1t is u matter of notoriety
that Mr.. Kruger favOrs peace on almost
any terms but dislikes personally to take
tional surrender.

advanced over the difficult ground and
under heavy fire.
The casualties 1 am thankful to say,
were less than 100 very small number
considering the natural strength of the
position which had TO be carried.
"Our seizure of Diamond Hill caused
the Beers to feel they were practically
surrounded and this resulted in their
hasty retirement. They We're being fol-

corps.
Hamilton spoke in highest terms OF

confusion from "A scrapnel bullet in the

complained that he had been struck with
some heavy blows over the face by man
whom he had met on the corner of Moul-
ton and Fore streets. The blood was
streaming down his face quite freely
and City Physician Leighton was called
and attended to the injuries. Stone gave
a description of his assailant and an
hour afterwards Officers Madden and
Smith arrested a man answering the de-
scription. He was pulled out of "A sailors
boarding house. He admitted his guilt
but explained that he had got into fuss
with Stone and had happened TO be the
first to strike. The arrested man said
that he was Portuguese and that his
name was Joe Doirten.

LONGS CHANCES aooD.

PHILADELPHIA, June 15.-Speculation,
gossip and informal conferences today
among national committeeman and other
leading Republicans, who are here, have
failed to indicate a capitalization Of sem
timent around any individual as a candi-
date for the Vice Presidential nomina'
ttun.
Neither Senator Hanna nor those close
to him give any intimation that the I'D
ministration has choice. The number OF
delegates who will vote for any man that
the administration In Tors seems to acoen.
tuate the general impression that the
nominee will be the man most satisfac
tory to the President.
''If you would take us into your conf-
dence on this Vice Presidential matter I
would simplify the situation greatly and
give MS an opportunity TO do what the
President would like, said prominent
Republican to senator Hanna, today, and
the reply the Senator made was: You
know all / know about II"
Senator Hanna only observation on
the situation today that until the dill err
ent delegations arrived and there was an
opportunity fer them to consult, no con
ciusion could be reached. Senator Platt
talk of Odell Of New York caused a little
flutter here and Dolliver stock took an
upward turn about the same time, the
cause being the impression that In cas-
Odell should be pressed by New York,
there would be n concentration on the
Iowa CONGRESSMAN by thosc who do not
favor the New Yorker.
The candidacy of lieutenant Governor
Woodruff of New York, who arrived to-
day, is still being kept in evidence by his
friends but apparently without any back.
ing from the Republican managers and
with the disapproval OF Senator Hanna
When questioned tonight regarding the
statement made by Senator Hanna that
Mr.. Woodruff was not satisfactory
candidate for the Vice Presidency, the
latter said:
Had L any intimation from the adj
ministration that my candidacy was not
desirable would not have allowed my
friends to support me to the extent they
have"
Mr.. Woodruff was asked II he would
continue as candidate In the event OF
the New York delegation failing to sup.
port him He replied: There will be nc
such event"
IL is generally believed that Senator
Allison has made 1t plain that he will not
be "a candidate under any circumstances.
The position of Secretary Long causes
considerable comment and 1t is bel ng
freely asked why the Long candidacy
should proceed SO far unless 1t has thf
tacit consent of the President.
The fact that Mr.. Long Is a member OF
President Mckinleyis cabinet gives rise
to widespread belief that the secretary
of the navy will finally receive the sup
port of the administration. IL such is the
case, however, 1t is being carefully kept
from view. AS the matter stands to
night, it would seem that Long, Dolliver
and Fairbanks are the leading possibili
ties for Vice President.

Assigning Seats in Con-
vention Hall.
Vice Presidential Gossip at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 15.-The Republic
can national committee today put In
three long sessions on the contests which
have been brought before it and adj
journed late tonight with all of the con-
trovcrsies practically disposed Of except
that of Delaware. This has been referred
back to the subcommittee with instruc-
lions to again endeavor to bring the fac
lions to basis of agreement and will re-
ceive final action tomorrow. An impor-
tant action today was the seating of the
Brownlow delegates in the Tennessee con-
test and refusing admission to the friends
of Pension Commissioner Evans. The
contest was very bitter and ut one time
there was the possibility of a serious en-
counter between Brownl ow and Evans.
Quite the most interesting feature of
the day was the speech of Senator Hanna
in Delaware case. Senator Hanna is
earnestly anxious to harmonize the fac
tions In Delaware and his speech before
the committee urging another attempt at
agreement showed his feeling in the
matter. The action of the committee in
the various contests has caused IL to be
generally remarked that 1t has not been
Senator Hanna's friends from the south,
especially the office holders, have received
scant consideration. Where there were
rival factions OF Office holders in Alabma
both sides have been denied seats.
The defeat of Wimberly in Louisiana
and the elevation of Yarmouth is said
to have been distinctly antagonistic to
the wishes of the closest friends of the
administration as Wimberly was sus-
tanned by the administration in the fight
that was made against his confirmation
when he was appointed collector OF the
port of New Orleans. 1t was in opposing
this confirmation that Yarmouth took
occasion to make some bitter remarks
about Senator Hanna, who was support
ing Wimberly In the New York case 1t
Is asserted that the decision was against
platt, and other cases are instanced by
members of the committee as examples of
independence.
SEATING THE DELEGATES
Philadelphia, June 15.-The diagram
showing where the state delegations Will
be seated in the convention hall was
signing the delegations was made by Ser
geant-at-arms Wiswell. The delegates
will be seated in four solid squares and
in ewo obIongs which flank the quartet
of blocks The choicest seats Will be
occupied by the delegations from Ala
bama, Idaho, Indiana, New Jersey, New
Hampshire and Texas they having been
assigned to the front rows nearest the
speakers platform. The delegations will
be seated in alphabetical order beginning
1T the oblong on the left. Maine and
