How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty
retort tears the tragic mantle in which
Glendower stalks, and shows beneath
the seer's robe, the motley of the mounte-
bank. Most people would have taken
the Welchman at his word, and called
him seer, without noting the difference
between to call and to command.
Certain points of comparison are sug-
gested between Glendower's tragic claim
and the comic claim made in some spe-
clous advertisements. 81 am a woman,

A CabIegram From Mr.. Griscom An

WASHINGTON, April 24.-It can be

The Charge also confirmed the press
reports as to the publication by the Porte
of an trade authorizing the rebuilding
ot the destroyed missions at Harpoot
and Harsan and the construction of an
annex to the Robert College, the great
American theological school in CONSTANT

LONDON, April 25.-5 A. M.-The reports
cally raised, were apparently premature.
The Boer attack upon Colonel Dalgetty..s
northern position is described from Ma
seru, was probably final attempt TO rush
the garrison before securing a safe retreat,
and, as Colonel Dalgetty successfully re-
pulsed the attack. little further anxiety
is felt on his account.
Lord Roberts has now spread a net with
some 10000 or more men. and 80 guns,
covering the whole western semi-circle
around Wepener, while General Hamilton
has occupied the water-wurlis, practically
without opposition.
The Seventh Division, under General
Tucker, assisted by naval guns, has made
a demonstration from Karee Siding. the
Beers showing soTna opposition. At the
same time a brigade moved from Glen to
take up a position on a range of hills at
Gennadeale, north of the Modder.
The water-works were found undam-
aged. with the exception of the removal OF
the sliding valves Of the pumping engines.
The Beers now can only escape without
risking an encounter northward to Lady
brand. and the chance OF a successful
outcome of the plans Of Lord Roberts
depends on whether the British troops
can reach Thaba N-Chu and Ladybrand
before the retreating commanders from
DeVet's Dorp and Wepener.
All the correspondents report that the
roads are in a terrible condition. which
accounts for the slow progress of the
British columns, and if the Beers are as
well informed of the British plans as they
hitherto have been, they are likely again
to escape.

operations, as suggested in some quar-

In the meantime, the Burgflsr forces oc-
cupving Thaban' Chu are in position to
fight delaying action giving 0ivEb Eboer
forces at Dewet's-Dorp and Wepener time
to retire in case of defeat and It seems
as though General French must dispose of

his flank will be open 10 assault. The
Beers driven out. of Leeuw kop will prob

fight may be expected. Should the British
fail in this attempt to bring about another

e[ily lead to q persistent repetition of the
suerilla tactics, which have been largely
responsible for the penning up of Lord
Roberts at Bloemfontein for so many
weeks.
During the course of General Alderson's

found themselves in a tight corner Sunday
near Donkerpoort. The Canadian mount
