big elections which took place this weeS

There Is no truth in the reports that Lord

THE BRITISH ADVANCE.
Lord Roberts Army Will Soon Have Crossed
the VaaI River.
TWO DAYS. MARCH FROM JOHANNESBURG
Evident TINT the English Must Re
pair the Railway Before they Can
Proceed with Rapidly.

London. May 2e.--Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the situation at the seat OF war
In South Africa for the Associated Press,
says.
Lord Roberts is keeping tight hand
on all telexralns IN order not 10 dlsc4ose
his moves. Alter Occupying hnenuoster
he pushed his ieft wIns along .ownrd
larys. where the Naal river was crossed
on Thursday. Inc wnole Amy seems TO
have changed Its direction 10 the ledt.
General Hamilton probably crossed
the Naal today, a.ssIated ~ necessary by
the force tnat G. ossed at tarys. the
whole force Will PROBABLY be acress the
VAal by Sunday aotsrnOon. johann
nesburg then wil be two marches dis
tant.
II suppose that Lord Roberts will push
on General Hamilton and perhaps General
French to turn the B0ers. while Generals
Tucker and Pole-Carew will attack IN
front.
THE Beers say they have retaken He'll
bron. General Roberts, will neglect that,
but will guard his railroad, when l think
he Will not wait to repair before going
TO Pretoria.
General Butler at Lalngs mex is eigh.
or nine marches from johannesburg, supz
posing that the road is clear. Roberts
advance must make the BOets uneasy anu
so VIA facilitate Buffers advance. Gen
eral Hunter, when al Maieking, will be
eleven marches from Pretoria and it is
lmpracticable, theiefore, Tor the Beers to
make any serious resistance at Pretoria,
where " wart would mean 20 be hammer
ed to pieces by the Briolsh army. The
Boer plan Is to retire TO the Lydenburg
hills. which would most probably avert
the catastrophe. But the strength Of the
Boer forces after the coming weeks ope
rations remains to be seen. Possibly the
difficulties OF supply may compel General
Roberts TO pause at the Vaal and rcpar
the railroad. thus giving time to General
Butler aud General RLnter to invade the
Tansvsal fancy, towever, that Lord
Roberts will prefer the bolder course and
try to end this war right now.
Lord Roberts marches on very broad
front with his cavalry wings thrown Tor
ward. General Butler probably eau not
adopt the same plan in the very rugged
country OF Northern Natal but once Bull
err is up in the hills or the tablelands Of
the Transyaal he will be able TO spread
out and move rapidly"

have, however. found every outlook hedged

lance by selling exposition tickets at a
profit of Q cents each, but their efforts
were sti6ed by the interference of III ir
French competitors, who are able to draw
all intending purchasers, except Amer
leans and Englishmen, by proclaiming the
Americans as foreigners. These unfor-
