London, May 24.-Again the Beers
have been stampeded by Lord Roberts
approach The great stand which they
have said they would surely make on the
Rhenoster river has ended in hurried
fight
When Lord Roberts arrived on the
south bank of the stream yesterday from
Honing spruit, he found the Boer forces
had disappeared during the night They
had prepared strong position on the
north bank, but as Lord Roberts dryly re-
marks. they did not think it advisable to
defend it when they heard that their rear
was threatened by General Ian Hamil-
tons mounted infantry on the east and
their western flank was menaced by Cen
eral French's cavalry.
1t would appear that the general dispo-
sition of the British force now advancing
is the same as that which proved sue
cessful in the move from Bloemfontein to
Kroonstadt Ian Hamilton, with his
mounted men, is operating on the right,
Lord Roberts main infantry divisions
are following the line of the railway in
the center, and French, with his cavalry,
is working on the left.

which the British commander entered
without opposition. Commandant De Wet,
with about 1000 men, again retreated up
on his approach. Colonel Broadwood, Oh
serving a convoy within striking distance,
raced after it and captured 10 wagons
and nine prisoners.
OF French's operations few details have
been received. 1t is known that he cross
ed the Rhenoster at a point northwest of
Honing spruit. 1t is therefore assumed
that'he encountered little resistance.
Beers Hold Passes.
There is no longer any doubt that the
passes at Laipgsnek are strongly held by
the Beers, who posted there the Walker
stroom commando, which has been with
drawn from the Free State. While ev-
erybody here is eagerly awaiting the next
move by General Butler, the latter is
resting until Lord Roberts gives the or
der. The latter may prefer to wait until
he has reached the Vaal before coming
to determination regarding further OPP

The Groton Times makes an urgent
plea for the establishment Of a bank
at that place. BY the absence of such
an institution the business growth of
that booming granite town is griev-
ously handicapped and we earnestly
hope that ere long the business men
Of that place will be able to interest
sufficient capital to found banking
house fur the accommodation Of its
granite firms. A good reliable bank
is necessity to the life of business in
any locality but more especially where
manufacturing is carried on without
the backing of large surplus capital.
The three banks of Barre are likewise
the mainstay of the prosperity which
our citizens enjoy and on smaller
scale the granite industry Of Groton
depends for its future upon similar
foundation.

There is considerable of disturb
ance on the other side of the noun
tain over this state capital business,
and it has been stated that should it's
location be changed to Burlington or
Rutland the state mileage deben-
lures would be materially lessened.
Now the manner in which this saving
is to be made is a serious problem and
one which only, our Burlington friends
dwelling within the shadow Of Yer
mont's highest institution Of learning
are able to solve. One would natur-
ally suppose at first that the origina-
tor of this economical idea really be-
lieved that the total expenditure Of
the travelling expenses of the legisla-
tors, one from each town, and two or
three from each county would be ma
terially different as the place Of rem
devious might change. We give him
the credit however, of being a better
mathematician and have concluded
that he intends to suspend the legis-
lative representation of all towns
which may be so unfortunate as to be
located: outside the circuit Of certain
number of miles from Burlington.
