THE TUG OF WAR.

Lord Roberts, with his main British
army Of about 81, 900 men, 1t is believ-
ed has started for the final stage Of his
march through the Orange Free State to
battle with the Beers.
No word has been received recently
regarding General Gstaore's 1000
men at Sterkstroom. The impression
In London is that these forces are ON
the way to join Lord Roberts.
= Joseph Chamberlain stated in the
House Of Commons that "if the native
territories are invaded by the Beers the
natives will be encouraged and assisted
In every way in defending them
selves.
Oeoil Rhodes's friends are alarmed lest
he be captured by the Beers. II Rhodes
is captured he will be held as hostage,
1t is said, for the payment OF a so, 000.-
900 indemnity for the Jameson raid.
DR.. Jameson Is still at Ladysmith.

March 81 next.
A dispatch states that the Beers have
captured Renesburg in Northern Cape
Colony, the British retiring TO Arundel

The Secretary of the Treasury has
sent q communication to Congress
calling the attention of that body to
the wide difference between the sala'
ries of commissioners Of internal rev.
enue and collectors of customs, and
suggesting that the salaries should be
adjusted. 1t is pointed out that the
collectors of internal revenue cannot
receive but four thousand five hun
dred dollars, regardless Of the amount
Of their collections, while there is no
limit to the salary of the collectors of
customs. To illustrate, the secretary
referred to the two officers in Balti-
more. The internal revenue collec.
tors salary was four thousand five
hundred dollars, while his collections
were more than eight millions. The
salary of the collector of customs was
seven thousand, and his collections
about two millions. A change may
be made.
