SUIT MAKES A SENSATION,
w. r. Burt Files Case Against Rocke-
feller COMPANY

w. r. Burt Files Case Against Rookie
feller Company.
DULUTH, May 10.-Wellington R.
Burt, q Saginaw, Mich, millionaire
lumberman, has begun sensational
suit here against the Lake Superior
consolidated iron mines, the principal
Rockefeller Iron Ore corporation, in
which it is charged that the defendant
has attempted to bring about monop-
oily or trust on Mesaba iron ore by keep
ing properties out of the market and by
fixing an exorbitant freight rate for
ore on the railroads con trolled by the
concern. It is alleged that this attempt
is keeping iron properties dormant that
ought to be developed. The suit is to
set aside a lease held by Rockefeller on
large amount Of iron property owned
by the plaintiff on the ground that he
has failed to comply with the terms Of
the lease in that he has failed to mine
as much ore as it would have been
profitable to mine.

FOR RELICS OF ANDREE.

Swedish Consul at st. Johns, N. r., Offers
q Reward.
ST. JOHNS, N. f., May 1O.-The con.
sui of Sweden and Norway here offers
a reward to all persons who may find
articles connected with the Arctic ex-
pedition of Andree, the aeronaut. The
offer is especially directed to whalers
from this port for the straits that con.
meet Bafin bay with the Atlantic, and
fishermen off the coast Of Labrador.
The supposition is that Andree may
possibly have reached some spot
touched by New Foundland whalers or
fishermen from which relics might be
obtained from the Eskimos.

LONDON, May 10.-The Standard, in

says:
Americans are not likely to go to
any dangerous lengths or to commit
their administration to an unwarranted

Greatest Danger Is Over in the Northern
Peninsula.
HoUaHToN, Mich, May 10.-Several
hours of intermittent rain has cleared
the air Of smoke which has hung over
several thousand square miles Of the

been done in Canada on the north shore
Of Lake Superior. Further heavy rains
are required toput the district out Of
danger.

afforded.
Mr.. Baumhoff says that the company
has plenty of men who are willing to
take out cars but he does not feel it
would be right to risk their lives while
the present condition of lawlessness
continues.
Chief of Police Campbell declares that
the force under him is too small to
handle the situation properly but if the
companies would select one main line
to operate he would see that the cars
were run witout molestation.
Thousands of St. Louisans walked to

British Advance Force Within Thirty-dvs
Miles Of Kroonstad.
LONDON, May 10. - -Four thousand
British cavalry watered their horses at
Zand river Monday, rs miles beyond
9maldeel, where Lord Roberts contin-
ues to date his dispatches. The scouts
who have been searching the country
for miles along the stream have found
no Beers south Of the river. The enemy
are laagered in unknown force on the
north branch. Thus the British ad-
vance guard is within S5 miles Of
Kroonstad. The Free Staters in the ex.
pectation that Kroonstad will speedily
become untenable, are, according to in
formation from Lourenzo Marques, pre-
pairing to move their government to
Heilbron, little more than 80 miles to
the southeast The proclamations of
Lord Roberts appear to have little effect
upon the inhabitants Of the invaded
districts. Every farm is found deserted
by the women and children. All the
men arc away fighting.
|, The British column is reported to
have reached Taungs, 30 miles north Of
Warrenton. According to Pretoria ad.
vices the British are nearing Vryburg,
which is half way between Warrenton
and Mafeking. General Hunter is
probably now in personal command Of
this relief column. His force embraces
&c, 900 infantry and 5000 to 5000 horse
men, an army far greater than has
hitherto been supposed. Lord Methuen
is apparently a subordinate. While the
relief column is hurrying toward Vry-
burg, General Hilyer is probably pro-
ceeding i'm an orderly advance along
the Vaal river to participate in the Pre-
toria advance as Lord Roberts left
flank. :;

to stand by Towne and to place him in
nomination before the convention.
Senator Pettigrew was present and
urged this course. The South Dakota

Towne.
The Nebraska delegation decided to
cast its vote against nomination and
to support the proposition for commit
tee on conference with instructions to

of Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Idaho, New
