Full Summary of the TransvaaI
War News-Progress of the Con-
fliet From Day to Oay-The British
Encouraged.
Lord Roberts cables the British
War Office details of Saturday and
Sundays fighting with the Beers in
the Free State, in which the burghers
made daring and persistent attacks,
but were finally driven back. A Brit
ish convoy narrowly escaped being
cut off. The indications are for more
stiff fighting near Thaba NChu.
In the British House of Commons
the Financial Secretary to the Treas
ury, Mr.. Hanbury, says the cost of the
war up to March 81 was $116, ,250, 900.
The Cape Parliament has been sum-
moned for June %.
The British auxiliary transport Ba-
varian has arrived at jamestown,
st. Helena, from Cape Town with 1899
Boer prisoners in excellent health.
The Beers are showing consider
able activity west of Bloemfontein,
and threaten the communications Of
the British force at Warrentown.
A cheerful message has been re-
ceived from Mafeking. A determined
attack has been repulsed, without loss
on the British side. Gen. French
on Sunday defeated Boer effort to
turn his eastern flank.
The Prince of Wales, Lord Sails
bury, Mr. Chamberlain, and other we'll
known men spoke May l in London
at the banquet of the British Empire
League.
All but a few British subjects have
been expelled from the South African
Republic as the result of the recent
explosion.
The Boer peace delegates will only
be received by the Secretary of State
at Washington as private individuals.
A despatch from Thaba N'Chu, de-
scrlbing the recent fight near that
place, In the Free State, says the
British forces, led by Canadian troops,
carried the Boer kopjes in rush, and
that at one time the fighting line was
ten miles long and the conflict fierce.
The British loss in killed and wound
ed was 20, including Colonel otter,
wounded, and no mention is made of
Boer casualties.
Colonel Dalgety's force at Wepener
numbered 1900. His losses during the
siege was 80 killed and 149 wounded,
so missing.

A committee claiming to represent
100 German societies in Cleveland
Ohio, and 10000 persons of German
extraction, has forwarded to Presi
dent Mckinley petition asking him
to use his influence to stop the war in
South Africa.
Although the British troops have
followed as rapidly as possible the
retreating Beers through the Free
State, and after some minor fightins
have occupied the town of Thabs
NChau, yet the main body of the
burghers appear to have made theil
escape from the big net spread fol
them by Lord Roberts.
Lord Roberts campaign plans, ac
cording to official reports from Bloem
fontein, have resulted in the relief o
the besieged garrison of Colonia
troops at Wepener and the occupation
of De Wet Dorp, both important STRAIT
egic points in the Free State, wher
considerable forces of Beers had beel
massed. There was some fighting
but no official record of casualties il
reported, and there is no record O
prisoners captured.

Fifty Thousand Men Involve d and
the Loss is Millions.
All efforts to settle the four months
struggle between the Contractors
Union and the affiliated labor unions
in Chicago have failed. Conference
committees failed an Aldermanic
Council committee failed; Mayor
Harrison personally failed. Now it
is up to the people of Chicago.
The Mayor has appealed to the
people, and the people have blood in
: their eye. "a plague on both your
houses" is the public sentiment.
The issues now are these: The
Contractors Union, backed by men
who make and supply building ma
terials, refuse to arbitrate until the
labor unions repudiate and throttle
the Building Trades Council, which
is sort of governing body and
clearinghouse of all labor unions. 1t
keeps them in affiliation, "all for one,
one for ALL"
The Contractors Union further re-
quires that the labor unions shall not
limit the amount of work man shall
do in day.

MORE LABOR TROUBLES.
FREIGHT TIED UP BY STRIKE
IN BUFFALO,.

A Conference Agreed On-Central
Railroad Officials Will Meet Com.
mittee of Strikers and Discuss
Terms-company Will be Liberal.
Twelve hundred railroad freight
handlers in Buffalo have. gone on
strike, but it will not be attended
until a conference is held ID the
officials.
A demand was made recently on
the New York Central, the Erie, the
West Shore the Lehigh Valley and
all their Western connections for in
creased wages for the freight han
dlers. No reply was made to the men.
Believing that the strike at the Cen
trail car shops and the yard made
their opportunity better the freight
handlers struck.
New York Central strikers said that
this was not done on their motion, as
1t was their intention to hold the
strike in abeyance until the confer
ence with Supt. Watt. But they were
not at all displeased with the idea,
and expect it to help them. However,
to show their honorable purpose, they
said they would ask the freight han
dlers to resume work until the con-
ference was over.
The striking car repairers and yard
men were in session all day receiv-
ing messages from Commissioner
Delehanty, who was in conference
with Supt. Watt in New 1ork.
After exchanging kilograms on the
situation, Commissioner Delehanty
wired that he and Supt Watt would
came to Buffalo to discuss terms with
the men. This was satisfactory to
the strikers and they announced that
the programme for the extension of
the strike would be suspended until
tomorrow.
The action of the freight handlers
was, the strikers say, only an evil
dence that the men have but to lift
restraint to precipitate a general tie
up. Freight shipped east or west
which needs to change cars OF be sort
ed here will be delayed indefinitely
Only through cars can be handled.
State : Arbitration Commissioner
Francis B. Delehanty presented to A..
M. Waitt, superintendent of motive
power and rolling stock, the demands
of the men. Chier among them were
recognition of their unions, employ
ment of only union men and an ad-
vance in wages averaging 10 per cent.
Mr.. Watt said, after the confer
ence:
"Our position has always been that
we are ready to talk over their griev-
ances and try to adjust them. We
do not recognize their unions, but
have no objection to them, and we do
not object to officers of the unions or
any one else willing to advise them
If they desire it."
Labor men in New York say there
is no idea of any tie-up of the road
because of the Buffalo strike.

Three Car Loads Daily.

To meet the demands for Pe-ru-na as u
catarrh remedy during the fall and win
ter three carloads per day is required.
Few people comprehend what IN i'm
mense amount of Pc-ru-na this Is. 1t is
eighteen hundred dozen bottles of Pc
ru-na, each bottle containing twenty
ounces. This amounts to twenty-one
thousand six hundred bottles, or four
hundred and thirty-two thousand
ounces, or three million four hundred
ana fif.y-six thousand doses.
Thee carloads of bottles Of Peru nn
placed end to end in n single row would
extend over four and half miles; ar
ranged in n column one foot square they
would make u column nearly two thou
sand feet high, four times as high as the
highest cathedral tower in Europe, and
nearly twice as high as the famous Eiffel
tower. Remember, this amount OF Pc
ru-na is shipped daily to meet the euor-
nous demand for this wonderful catarrh
romedy.
The facilities of tho Pc-rr-na Medicine
Company are taxed to their utmost to
keep up this remarkable output, week
after week, and month after month.
This ever-increasing stream of Pe-ru-na
finds its way into thousands of homes in
every state in the Union.

considered of the most interest are the
Chief Engineers conclusions in regard
to the maintenance of the canals as Il
system and the construction of n ship
canal. The concluding text of the re-
port follows
While an improved and enlarged
canal across our own State connecting

southwest rivers and SO with the Gulf
of Mexico, does not offer such induce

who have so reported, ana | believe
such an undertaking would meet n
commercial demand of no mean pro-
portions. A all events, it is certain
ly worth while for the State TO hold
to its present canal franchise until
time shall have demonstrated the adj
visibility of such a measure.
