OCCUPIED
BY THE BRITISH.
Continued From First Page.

at Pretoria, dated June Sd, quote Gen.
Botha as saying:
so long as we can still count on
our thousands of willing men, we
must not dream of retreat or throw
ing away our independence"
Gen. Botha, it is added, annulled
the regulations appointing a special
committee to preserve order substi-
tuting military control for that of the
committee.
Gen. Lucas Meyer, addressing the
burghers on the church square, urged
them all to stand fast.
Thus, though their efforts were pitt
fully futile, it is evident that a few
faithful Boer generals worked desper-
ately to resist the overwhelming force
of Lord Roberts army.
The war Office has information that
one of the first things done by Lord
Roberts after the occupation of Pre-
toria, was to direct Gen. French to
relieve the British prisoners confined
at Waterfall.
The news from Pretoria having been
discounted had practically no effect on
the stock exchange, but as the day
wore on the crowds around the Man
sion House, in which DR.. T. Dewitt
Talmage was lunching, increased in
numbers and the celebrations assumed
the now familiar form which marked
Mafeking day. Stung to action by the
comments upon the recent demonstra-
tions, the police made more strenuous
efforts today to keep order. But horse
play, drunkenness and roVdyism pre-
vailed wherever crowds were thick.
The inhabitants of the provincial
towns were not whit behind those in
London in hailing the victors. Bells
were rung, flags were flown and holi-
days were declared all over England.
AS coincidence Elton had post
poned it's annual June 4th celebration
until to-day, and as Lord Roberts is
one of the most distinguished old
Etonians, he is coming in for the great
ovations from the school which has
S44 alumni in South Africa, among
them being Generals Butler, Methuen,
Lytleton, Hutton and Dundonald and
SO many other distinguished soldiers
that it is already being said that Pre-
toria was won on the playing fields
of Eton."
During the course of their celebra-
ton to-day the Elton boys telegraphed
their congratulations to Lord Roberts.

Maryland Democrats.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 5.-The
Democrats of Maryland, in State con-
vention held here to-day, selected a
delegation to Kansas City and adopted
a platform which leaves the delegates
uninstructed, but declares that VIM.
] Bryan is the choice of Democrats,
both in the counties and in the State
OF Maryland. Imperialism is condemn
ed, a large standing army is deplored,
and it is suggested that the Democrats
everywhere lay aside their differences
on the currency question and unite
Ia an effort to stay the overwhelming
progress Of radical errors in regard to

urated by President Mckinley and the

clarifying Lord Roberts and turbn-
lently rejoicing In his victory.
The dispatches Of Lord Roberts tell
ing Of the incidents before the surren-
dering of the capitol by three civilians,
stand alone, as the correspondents
with him have not had their turn with
the wires.
Lord Roberts postscript announcing
the loss of the yeomanry battalion
came too late for the public to know
it last evening The newspaper COM
nientators consider the incident de-
plorable but as having no weight to
speak of in the results. The battalion
numbered between four hundred and
FIVE hundred.
Gen. Botha and most of his men got
away from Pretoria. This is inferred
from Lord Robertss message, but the
presumption is that the Boer COM
mandant general cannot escape the
British dispositions without fight.
Operations elsewhere seem to have
dwindled to nothing. Gen. Baden
Powell joined Gen. Hunter on Sunday
at Lichtenburg.
Sir Redvers Butler has not, moved.
Bennett Burleigh, wiring from Jo-
hannesburg, says President Kruger
took $4,000. 600 in cash to Middleberg.
Mr. Burleigh and Guy H. Scull, an
American correspondent, entered Jo-
hannesburg the night before Lord Rob-
erts occupied the city, and made tour

tons from st. Louis and three from
Kansas City, blocked the deliberations
of the Missouri State Democratic con-

indications tonight are that the anti

CALL WE'LL
The Only Message Sent by Consu,
Hay.

The Only Message Sent by Consul
Hay.
WASHINGTON, June 5-The two
words "All WELL" was all that United
States Consul Hay had to send to the
State Department upon the occasion
of the occupation of Pretoria by the
British to-day. Probably the consul,
knowing that the news of Lord Rob-
erts' occupation would reach the State
Department through the regular news
channels, felt that it was only neces-
sary to him to assure the department
that the United States consulate had
not been disturbed in the critical per-
1Od incident to the abandonment of
the Boer capital by its former defend
ers. However, the consul has scrupu-
lously refrained from communicating
IN his official dispatches and informa-
ton whatever respecting the military
situation, that might by any possibil-
lty be disadvantageous to the Beers.
With the occupation of Pretoria, by
the British, the United States consul
has nearly exhausted his usefulness in
the Transvaal He went there at a
critical time and has acquitted him
self to the entire satisfaction of both
the British and Beers. Now that the
wave of war has passed beyond the
Boer capital, the duties of United
States Consul will be much simplified
and reduced to the ordinary routine.
SO that Consul Adelbert Hay is at lib
erty to return to the United States and
it is assumed that he will avail him
self in the near future of the permis-
sion which has been extended him to
to surrender his appointment.

LORD ROBERTS OFFICIAL RE-
PORT.
War Bulletin:

LONDON, June 3, 11:07 p. m.-The
from Lord Roberts:
PRETORIA, June 5, 1855 p. H.
Just before dark yesterday the enemy
were beaten back from nearly all the
positions they had been holding and
Ian Hamiltons mounted infantry fol-
lowed them to within two thousand
yards of Pretoria, though they retreat
ed hastily.
de List then sent an officer with a
flag of truce into the town, demanding
its surrender in my name. Shortly be-
fore midnight | was awakened by two
officials of the South African republic,
Sandborg, military secretary to CO.
mandant General Botha, and general
officer of the Boer army, who brought
me a letter from Botha, proposing an
armistice for the purpose of settling
the terms of surrender.
Il replied that | would gladly meet
the commandant general the next
morning, but that / was not prepared
to discuss any terms, as the Surrend-
er of the town must be unconditional
| asked for a reply by daybreak as
had ordered the troops to march on the
town as soon as 1t was light.
In his reply Botha told me that he
had decided not to defend Pretoria
and that he trusted women, children
and property would be protected. AT
1 o'clock a. M to-day while on the
line of march | was met by three of
the principal officials with a flag of
truce stating their wish to surrender
the town.
1T was arranged that Pretoria
should be taken possession OF by Her
Majesty's troops at o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Mrs. Botha and Mrs. Kruger are
both in Pretoria. Some few of the
British prisoners have been taken
away, but the majority are still at
Waterfall. Over hundred of the Of
icers are in Pretoria. The few I
have seen are looking WELL"

WHOLESOME ADVICE


For People whose Stomachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor
DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion
in diseases is worthy of attention,
says when a man or woman comes
to me complaining of indigestion,
loss of appetite, sour stomach,
belching, sour watery rising
headaches, sleeplessness, lack of
ambition and general run down
nervous condition. / advise them
to take after each meal one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allow
ing the tablet to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle with the
food eaten. The result is that the
food is speedily digested before it
has time to sour and ferment.
These tablets will digest the food
anyway whether the stomach
wants to or not, because they con-
tain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essences, pepsin and
Golden Seal which supply just
what the weak stomach lacks.
| have advised the tablets with
great success, both in curing indi-
geStl0n and to build up the It's
sues, increasing flesh in thin ner-
yous patients, whose real trouble
was dyspepsia and as soon as the
stomach was put to rights, they
did not know what sickness was.
a fifty cent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Talets can be bought at
any drug store, and as they are
not a secret patent medicine, they
can be used as often as desired
with full assurance that they con-
tain nothing harmful in the
slightest degree; on the contrary,
anyone whose stomach is at all
deranged will find great benefit
from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form
of stomach weakness or disease
except cancer of the stomach.

GREAT GATHERING
Of DEMOCRACY.
Continued From First Page.

John Baker White, of Charleston, who
would like to have it in the event OF
Flournoys defeat. But he is for
convention. Col. ]. NJ Rowan, former
Treasurer, would like the nomination,
but thinks he is geographically stu
ated so far as to be out of the race
In the event of Miller's defeat no
doubt Col. Rowan woulo enter the
race
Geo. M. Mccoy, of Sistersville, seems
to be the only candidate for Attorney
General. 1t was expected that John W.
Davis, of Clarksburg, would be a can
didate but he is quoted as saying that
he is not candidate.
The Full List of Candidates
seems to be about as follows:
For Governor-Judge l.. n Traven-
ner, John H. Holt, S. L. Flournoy,
Virgil A. Lewis.
For Auditor-Simms Powell, Park
ersburg; ]. H. Miller, Hinton; J. C..
Handlan, Wheeling; Walter Corbin,

For Treasurer-H. B. Mckinley,
Harrisville; J. w. Tucker, Elizabeth;
c. ]. Lavelle, Wetzel county.
For Attorney General-Geo M. Nc
Coy, Sistersville.
For State Superintendent of Free
Schools-R. A. Armstrong and H. l..

Piedmont.
For Judges of the Supreme Court
]. H. English, Point Pleasant; A. N
Campbell, Union; w. G. Bennett, Wes-
ton; st. George T. Brook, Morgan
town.
There are a lot of dark horses be-
ing groomed for every Office from Gov
ernor down, and should there be a
deadlock of few ballots for any Of
flee, new candidates may be expected
to be sprung
E. NJ. Gilkeson, of Parkersburg, o.
S. Mckinney. of Fairmont and ex-
Governor MacCorkle have all been dis
cussed as dark horse candidates for
Governor, but it hardly probable they
will be entered in the race Mr.. Gilke-
son has, however, announced his can
didacy for the nomination for Gov
ernor in 1904.
Gen. ]. W. st. Clair, who is here,
and is delegate to the National con-
vention at Kansas City, although a
warm admirer of VIM. j. Bryan,
thinks that from a standpoint of ex-
pediency the party platform should not
re-afirm the Chicago platform or men
ton the 16 to l plank. His idea is
that the Constitution OF the United
States. where it refers to the power of
the Congress to coin money, should be
adopted as the Democratic platform on
the money question. He will use his
efforts in the convention for the adop-
ton OF platform which will unity
and solidify the party.
One Thing Noticeable
about the Democratic gathering is that
there are so many prominent men and
party wheel horses. A group that at
tracted considerable attention at the
Jackson Hotel to-day was composed of
Johnson N Camden, Henry G. Davis
and j. w. st. Clair, who were con-
versing together and all working In
harmony for the success OF the party.
Among the other Democrats who are
here looking on at the convention or
to take part in it are: Judge d. B. Luz
cas-. R. w. Morrow and B. D. Gibson.
