ported here that all the Rand mines
closed down last Thursday. British
workmen and their countrymen in
other parts Of the republic are being
expelled wholesale from the Trans
vaal. On the other hand the Beers
are so demoralized it is impossible to
induce many now on furlough to re-
turn to the front. They are generally
averse to defending Biggarsberg, and
are divided with reference to the wis
dom of continuing the war. President
Kruger has prevailed on Mr.. Steyn

No News Of Any Battle Between
Gen. French and the Beers.
THE REPORT ABOUT REICHNANN.
The British Reluctant to Believe That an
American Led the BOers-Wilkinson's
Deductions British W0rkmen Ex-
pelled-Steyn to Make u stand.

London, April 4.-No news has yet
been received of the expected battle
between Gen. French and the Beers.
There is now but a remote prospect
of the recapture of the guns. This,
however, is regarded as quite trifling
compared with the political effects of
the disaster. As the Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Times remarks,
Commandant Olivier's strategy in re-
occupying Ladybrand and Thaba
N'Chu was bold and even brilliant.
Most Of his force is composed of Free
Staters, and the advantage gained by
them will have a most disturbing eff
feet on the mind of the Free State
population.
1t is announced from Springfontein
that the censorship has again cur
tailed the dispatches. Therefore i'm
portant developments must be i'm
pending.
The British public is reluctant to
believe that an American led the Boer
forces which attacked the convoy.
The Daily Chronicle says: "Reich-
mann may be, like some other Ameri-
cans, in sympathy with the Beers.
He may even have unofficially advised
the Boer commandment. although this
would have been exceedingly i'm
proper, but we cannot think he would
take the command without previously
resigning his American commission"
There is little news from other
points. Mafeking was still besieged
on March 20, and there are rumors
that Gen. Butler is preparing to ad-
vance.

planned and well executed. Col.
Broadwood, however, skillfully evaded
the stroke aimed at him. Possibly
Lord Roberts has retired his infantry
with a view of encouraging the Beers
to advance and to continue their at
tack. Probably nothing would suit
him better than that they should at
tempt to move toward the railway or
to attack in the direction of Bloemfon-
TEN. He is collecting remounts and
stores in order to be in readiness for
a renewal for general advance, and
he will not be drawn away II the

Tacoma, WASH, April 4.-Col. Will

yesterday, one at Olympia in the
morning and two here. In the after
noon he addressed 5000 people in the
new Wigwam and in the evening the
building, with q capacity Of 10000,
was packed. He left last night for
Oregon. Col. Bryan is almost worn
out by his recent canvass Of the state.
When seen at the conclusion of his
speech last night he could hardly ar
ticulate. His theme throughout the
state has been anti-expansion and
trusts, a brief reference to silver and
a plea for the income tax.

The crew of nineteen men. with

Vein was In Butte waiting for a train
to carry him back to Anaconda. He
strolled over to the freight house and at
once recognized the safe az being the
one to which he held the combination.
Several men were standing Q and
a discussion ON safes arose. Mr.. Vein
who was q stranger had considerable to
say about safes but his audience treated
him as though he were talking through
his hat. In a ocular way Mr. Vein
said the safe was a poor one because 1t
was not proof against the most ommo
burglars. One of his hearers took ex-
ceptions to the man from Anaconda and
offered to bet $50 that he (Wein) could
not open it in q day. "I1l take that
bet said Weln,and the money Is said
to have been put up in the hands OF q
stakeholder.
Now" said the other man. we We're
going to move the safe to-day blu will
let it remain until tomorrow so o will

Don be in a hurry" aid Mr.. Vein,
II am a rapid wor-.er," and STOPPING
down he gave the tumbler q few revolu-
lions and the door opened. The money
was paid over and as the Anaconda man
walked away he eaid:'
