BRITONS CROSS zAND,
FORCING BOERS BACK

for using armed Kafiirs under British
officers, and for i'll treating prisoners.
President Kruger, after his formal
speech on Monday. said the British
were prepared for war in 1896. as doe
uments which the burghers had can
tured showed but that the Transvaal.
to avoid bloodshed, offered a seven
years franchise, and then a five years
franchise.
Great Britain still demanded war"
he declared, "and the republic at
length accepted the challenge. Even
should the British enter the Trans
vaal and take Pretoria the Beers will
still remain free people. Our trust
is in God. and we may be confident
that he viii defeat the most powerful
generals"
Adelbert Hay, United States consul
at Pretoria, was present when this
speech was delivered. The raad con-
tinues in secret session.
A dispatch credited to a semi-oficial
source in Pretoria says:
"The European powers have de-
livered a collective note to President
Kruger informing him that they will
hold him personally responsible for the
SAFETY OF the mines, and will support
England In enforcing compensation
in the event Of their destruction"
1t is believed in Cape Town that on
the arrival of the British at the Vaal
river proclamation was issued annex
ing the Orange Free State to the do
minion of the queen, and demonstrate
ing the determination OF her majesty's
forces to assert British supremacy over
the annexed territory.
The Boer losses at Bradfort are now
reported to have been much heavier
than was at first understood. After the
battle British patrols visited the farm
houses in the surrounding district and
all the men were taken prisoners. while
the horses and guns were removed.
Lord Roberts is thus adopting a stern
er policy, with view Of preventing
guerrilla fighting in the rear of the
British. Horses are now commanders
ed and farmhouses where guns are
found are destroyed, while the men are

ADDICKS RULE
Is ON THE WANE
Kent and Sussex Voters Will
Not Respond to Crack
OfAddickS' Whip
Special to the Evening Journal

Special 10 the Evening Journal
Dover, May lO.--Political boomerangs
generally cveate havoc when they re-
turn to the camps from which they
have been projected, and there's a
weapon Of this scrt cavorting around
in Kent and Sussex just now that is
emphasizing the truth OF this, for
IL has brought to the surface since the
Addieks Press Bureau began its work
that the Republican voters of Kent and
Sussex counties have inaugurated an
entirely new program for the cam
paign which Is to be fought this year.
Scores OF men in every district in
these two counties, who for the past
five or six years have been following
the glittering banner OF the man OF
gas, have apparently awakened to the
fact that they have been drifting away
from the Republican party and its
principles, and following a will-o'-the-
wisp that has led them into political
qnagmires, where neither principle nor
political honor is to be found. Plainly
they are getting tired Of winning vic
tories only to have them turned into
farces, and they find themselves to-
day facing a crisis which means the
life or death of the Republican party
I in Delaware.
This is engendering thought, and
men are asking themselves the ques-
ticn. whether, as citizens, as Republic
cans. IL will pay them longer to sacri-
fee everything that party principle inn
plies in order to aid in gratifying the
ambition Of one man. This is the sort
OF leaven that is working to-day. And
II is bringing about healthier feeling
all around.
Affairs have reached q point where
the Republican voters Of both the low
er counties have concluded to turn their
attention more to local politics for To-
cal benefit They propose to organize
/ by hundred, district and county lines,
to fight for a supremacy that will mean
something to them as citizens and as
/ Republicans. The offices at stake In
this contest mean everything to them
on county as well as state lines, and
they are determined that the personal
ambition OF Addicks or anybody else
shall not stand in the way Of their
/ winning them.
The lieutenants Of Mr. Addicks in
both Kent and Sussex see this spirit
manifested all around them, and well
they know what IL implies They know
that the old glamor is gone, the
rounding up" days are things Of the
past and the Republican voter Of Kent
or Sussex will respond no longer to
the crack of the Addicks whip
Local issues have done more than
anything else to bring this about. And
with it comes another feeling that is
gaining ground rapidly, one Of disgust
among the voters who gave their al
legiance to the gas king. that they
should have been so long misled.
Scores OF men who a year ago We're
staunch followers Of Addicksism, are
to-day It's bitter enemies.
One thing is as certain as certainty
itself. There can be no compromise on
anything wherein J. Edward Addicks Is
TO be a beneficiary, that will receive
the endorsement OF the Republican
voters OF Kent and Sussex counties.
They feel they have already sacrificed
too much, and the end has been
reached.

Clever Engineering Feat.

A railway recently built in southern
Bavaria practically carries a creek
across the railway, instead of the rail-
way crossing the creek. The stream Is
small tributary of the Isar river,
that in stormy times is swelled to enor-
nous proportions. Every bridge that
has been built over it has been carried
away. Finally young engineer offered
to solve the difficulty.
A tunnel of strong masonry was first
constructed across the valley and re-
enforced on the outside, turned toward
the torrent with all the rocks availa-
BILE that had collected there. Cross
walls leading from the solid rock and
across the tunnel were built and
strongly braced. This was done to
protect the railway. The rest was left
for nature to do. At the first strong
rain everything happened as the young
engineer had predicted. Bowlders and
rocks coming down with the water
filed up the big hole left between the
tunnel and the rocks, until the over.
flow carried everything across the tun.
mel. The bed Of the torrent was raised
by itself, and now there is not the
slightest danger Of interruption in this
part of the railroad even after the
most severe rainstorm.

The citizens of Stafford were panied to
learn of the death of their fellow towns
man, William II. Smith, which occurred
last Friday, at about 10 a. m. Mr.. Smith
had been inca pacitated from business for
several years, during which time the NAL
ady, Bright's disease, that caused his
death, had been making steady fnroads
upon his otherwise vigorous constitution.
Lately he had become very much weak
ened, and at the last quietly and peace
fully fell asleep.
Mr.. Smith was born Feb. 25th, 1s48,
and came from family that had long
been identified with the business interests
of Stafford. His education was begun in
the public schools Of the town, and was
continued at Monson academy and the
Massachusetts agricultural college. Re-
turning to Stafford, he accepted the posi-
stion of book keeper and teller of the Ma
ltional bank, whore he remained two
years, leaving the bank In 1872 to enter
the Office Of William Smith & Co., deal
ers in Hocks and shOddies. The next
year he was admitted into the firm, which
was then composed of William Smith, his
father, and William H. Cooley. At the
Of his father In 1881 the firm be-
came Smith & Cooley, in which Mr.. Smith
remained and was interested until his
death.
Mr.. Smith was fine type Of business
man; genial, alert, and of unquestioned
integrity. The flood, which made the
year 1877 memorable In the annals OF
Stafford, swept away the plant in which
he was Interested, but, nothing daunted
the firm rebuilt and continued business
with as much energy as ever. As citi.
izen Mr.. Smith was liberal and large
minded, ever seeking the prosperity Of

of the Savings Bank of Stafford springs,
and for many years the president of the
library association. When the plan Of
the new Springs House was being agitated
he was one of its original supporters. He
was constant attendant and o liberal
supporter Of the Congregational church.
MIR. Smith was thorough sportsman,
following the rod and the gun with never
abating enthusiasm when on his vacation
trips, which 1t was his custom to take
yearly in the Adirondacks, where he was
atmember OF the famous Bysbee club.
Mr.. Smiths decease will be felt by his
