King Oscars Democratic Impulse.

London. April 23.-The visit of King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway to Eng
land, though undertaken incognito, has
attracted surprisingly small amount of
interest. The spectacle of that monarch
--burly despite his II years and standing
head and shoulders above his fellows
pushing his way past the station barri-
cades to shake hands with the Swedish
workmen who had cheered him as he en-
tered the London depot can for human
impulsiveness be scarcely exceeded in the
actions Of the most democratic ruler.
King Oscar is no stranger to England.
He has paid frequent visits to this coun-
try, and his abilities as historian and
writer on abstruse subjects have gained
for him honorary degrees from the Eng
fish universities. OF all European poten-
tates he is probably the most cultured
the tallest and the most impulsive.

Fighting Around Vessels Mex.

Elandslaagte April 23.-A commando
of 1000 Beers came through Vessels mex
Saturday morning. They crossed Sun
days bridge and advanced to the crest of
a ridge, but fell back when they saw the
mounted infantry, who opened fire.
Later the Beers shelled Elandslaagte
colliery. Ten shells fell close to the mine,
but did no damage. The work at the
mine was stopped, but it is hoped will be
resumed in day or so. TN British
guns opened fire. The naval brigade on
the right sent few shells in the direc-
ton of the Boer guns, which were posted
on long ridge 1000 yards to the right of
the bridge. They were difficult to locate,
but the Beers were soon seen retreating
over the hill toward Vessels mex. Sever
al of the shells caught them and must
have done some damage. On the left the
squadron Of African horse were engaged
all day in exchanging shots with the
Beers. No casualties are reported.
Late in the day the Beers showed ac-
tivty in the trenches on the ridges in
front Of Elandslaagte. A few A. shells
forced them to relinquish their works.
This position was only 1880 yards dis
tant from Elandslaagte. 1t is difficult to
understand the Boer object. Native de-
serters say that they contemplate attack
ing in force. Others say that they are
preparing to retire.

London, April 23.--Dispatches arriv-
