attendant in the criminal part of

that the Jury was ready to enter.
A few moments ot intense excite

L. don, Friday, April 6, A. NJ.
Mafeliing has come into prom
inence, through the renewed though
unsuccessful efforts OF Colonel
Plumer to relieve the beleaguered
garrison. This dashing leader of
Khodesian irregulars is certainly
displaying as much dogged per-
tinacitv in his attempts to succor
Colonel Baden Powell as General
Butler ever did in his operations
for the relief Of General White, and
he may yet be as successful in the
long run. Colonel Plumer may ex-
pect to receive some reentorcements
by the way OF Bcira.
General Gatacre has a hard task
before HIM in keeping open Lord
Roberts lines of communication.
The Beers are reported to have
10000 men within radius oftwenty
miles of Bloemtontein, and their
movements Indicate a desire to
sweep further round to the right of
the capital from Bushmans kop.

still in urgent need of an abundant
supply of fresh horses, as it is clear
General French s cavalry has been

longer able to achieve bold move

the relief of Kimberley and the cap
ture Of Cron je.
London, April E. The Bloemfon-
tcin correspondent OF the Daily
Mail says:
General Clements division
5000 strong, has arrived from the
southwark and has encamped five
miles north of the city, alter con-
tinuous march for fortnight.
There is no danger Of 4 water
famine here.
IAN unimportant engagement,
lasting several hours, was fought
yesterday afternoon between the
Bocrs and British at Bushman 5
kop.
"At a meeting of the army temp.
erance association Monday, Lord
Roberts made speech, urging the
soldiers to Join the ASSOCIATION. He
eulogized its splendid work, adding
that the cnllre army had been mem.
bcrs of the association while along

times there was very little of that. y

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
MODIESkA.

The Modieska production of Mac
beth comes to the Opera House to-
morrow night. 1t appears that all
the elaborate scenic production Tor
the Mod leska repertoir. consisting
OF five different plays, were painted
bv one artist. Thomas Moses,
whose studio is at the American
Theatre, New York. Manager John
c. Fisher had all the scenery paint
ed and built at his own theatre in
San Diego. Cal. which was the
starting point of the present tour.
1t is not an easy matter to get an
artist of Thomas Moses S standing
to 90 so tar from his headquarters,
but in this instance the lnducement
was fame rather than fortune. 1t
Is the usual custom OF course to d.
vide up such work between many.
not less than three or four artists
being frequently associated with
one play. The distinction Ct
carrying out so large a contract
and for such famous organization
was, it is SAID, the great induce
ment in enlisting his services and
he apparently made the most OF MS
opportunity by doing the best work
OF his career,
