MAFEKING IS IN
SAD PLIGHT AT
PRESENT TIME,

Mafeking, Feb. 19.-What may be the
typhoid fever has broken out in the wo-
mems laager, and dysentery, due to the
absence of vegetables, is rife among the
garrison. We are thrown upon our own
resources. Such luxuries as we had are
exhausted or have beene commandered
for the hospitals, which are filled to over
flowing. The children's graveyard, close
to the women's laager, grows weekly as
the young lives are cut short prematurely
by shell and fever
We look with hope deferred for relief.
The cheerfulness which was character
istic of the early days Of the siege has
almost deserted us, the men preferring
to remain at their posts rather than
move about and work up an appetite
which cannot be satisfied.
The natives are in the worst plight.
Those who are unable to obtain work
are allowed a small handful of meal
daily. Many. Drawing the danger, warD-
der about the town with gaunt and hum
cry faces in search of work, which en-
titles them to am extra ration Of meal.
If they find work they are generally too
weak to perform it.
From their advanced positions the
Beers rake the streets and the market
square. It is impossible to dodge their
bullets. We have taken remarkable pre-
caution, however, and the casualties,
though heavy, are not what they might
have been had less able men been at the
head of affairs. Even the headquarters
mess fares scantily. Like saints under
the altar, we cry "How long, Oh Lord.
how long?"
Two hundred and ninety-two persons
have been killed, wounded or died Of
disease. The garrison is SO small that it
would be criminal to make it's weakness

NORvAL's PoN1 TAKEN
Mafeking Garrison is on Short
RatiOnS and Deaths From
Disease Are IncreaS-
ing Rapidly.

London, March S.-Lord Roberts tele-
graphs he has captured Krupp gun
and a number of tents and wagons. He
also announces General Clements has
occupied Norvals Pont. Following is
the text of Lord Roberts dispatch:
Poplar Grove, March 8.-Two brig.
AIDES Of cavalry with horse artillery and
Kelly Kenny's division marched to-day
ten miles eastward. The Beers were
quite taken by surprise yesterday. They
moved off SO hurriedly that they left
cooked dinners behind. We captured a
Krupp gun and several tents ana
wagons. The total casualties were:
Killed - Lieutenants Keswick and
Frieslick.
Wounded-Lieutenants Bailey, Of the
Twelfth Lancers, and Decrispigne, OF the
Second Life Guards, both severely, and
Lieutenant Smith of the Shropshires who
is believed to have been picked UP by q
Boer ambulance. Two men were killed,
forty-six wounded and one man missing.
Gatacre reports he intends occupying
Burghersdorp to-day. Repairs to rail-
roads towards both Stormberg and
Leynsberg are being pushed. Clements
now occupies Norvals Pont on the south
bank of Orange river. The bridge was
blown up March and the enemy is
holding the north bank of the river but
not, it is believed, in any great strength"

Sovereign Cross Examined.

Washington, March S.-James r. Sow
ereign continued testimony in the Occur
d'Alene case today. Owing to Repre-
sentative Lentz's absence in New York,
Representative Slayden Of Texas directed
the examination, and the cross -examna-
ton was participated in by all the MEM
bers of the committee. Mr.. Sovereign
testified that the miners unions were not
responsible for the publications written
by him, which has been introduced as
evidence. The cross-eXamination took
Mr.. Sovereign over the exciting events
attending the blowing up of the Bunker
Hill concentrators, and the witness was
made to recite in minute details the CIR
cumstances of the affair in the main.
This was an elaboration of the direct
testimony previously given. He said the
masks worn by the men were Of ordinary
cloth with holes cut out for the eyes.
I Sovereign said "scabs" favorable to the
mines showed cowardice and ran away
although a shot from them into the stock
of dynamite would have destroyed it be-
fore the mob could have used it in blow
ing up the mill. He declared that the
"chip on the shoulder" attitude Of the
mine owners in discriminating against
organized labor had precipitated the
trouble.
Witness said the same aggravated con-
ditions would cause a repetition of the
trouble, and in anticipation of it, the
Bunker Hill company had built MORO
Castle with loopholes for Gatling guns.

THREE BATTALIONS
OF TROOPS ARE
ORDERED HOME.

New York, March S-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: BY direc-
tion of Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john instructions have been sent to Ma
jor General Otis to return to the United
States some time in May one battalion
each of the Fourteenth, Eighteenth and
Twenty-third infantry. The withdrawal
of those troops was recommended by Ma
jor General Miles several months ago.
He pointed out to the department that
the three regiments designated would
have been two years in the Philippines
in June next.
the department to withdraw three bat
talions, which number more than 1000
men, is influenced to some extent by the
disorganization of the rebel army and
the prospect that the American troops
will no longer meet with resistance from
an organized force.
Notwithstanding the action Of the de-
partment in ordering home these battal-
ions, officers who have served in the Phil
ippines and who have just returned, say
that this must not be taken to mean that
the rebellion has been suppressed. The
insurgents are operating in small forces,
which scatter upon the approach of AM
erican troops, but which reassemble and
attack whenever good opportunity pre-
sents itself. A well-known officer in
Luzon, writing to friend in this city,
gives it as his opinion that the rebellion
will not be entirely suppressed in less
than 10 years.

Irish People Not Pleased.

Dublin, March S.-The newspapers OF
this city give rather a chilly reception to
the announcement of the proposed visit
of Queen Victoria to Ireland pext month,
although the comments are perfectly
courteous. The Freeman's Journal says:
1.-The chivalry of the Irish would in-
sure a respectful reception, but it is inn
possible to- congratulate her majesty on
the opportunity chosen for royal visit,
after boycott SO long and persistently
maintained"
The Daily Independent says
"The nationalists will have no other
desire but that her majesty should re-
ceive at the hands of the Irish the re-
spectful welcome due to her exalted sta
tion and her high personal character"

but they had little difficulty in keeping
the crowd in order and opening passages
for people. members of the house of COM
mons and members of the household who
were alone privileged to pass the great
ratings that shut off the palace.
Those not fortunate to get near the
palace itself climbed upon trees or stood
on top of cabs, Frightening the bare park
with flags. The women's dresses which
were unusually gay, also served to enliv-
en- the scene.
Shortly after noon the Duke and Ouch

and received an ovation.

the colonies, Joined the distinguished
throng in the court yard. unnoticed.
AS time passed the crowds outside
grew more dense. Then, from Constitu-
tion hill came the dull roar of distant
cheers and the cry "she is coming was
passed from mouth to mouth. Now the
roar was taken up by those within the
precincts of the palace. Back on their
creeking hinges flew the great gates and
up went the royal standard.
A patrol of police went by, there was a
flash of steel as the life guardsmen and
outriders trotted through the gates and
then all hats flew in the air.
A mighty cheer arose and slowly there
passed carriage on the back seat Of
which sat a little black figure heavily
veiled and nodding right and left. Still
nodding vigorously, her majesty passed
out o fsight into the quadrangle where
the peers and commoners assembled were
singing God Save the Queen and her
majesty entered the palace.
Outside there was pandemonium. Over
the roadway which had been kept clear
for the carriages. the crowds swarmed
until 1t was impossible for those near the
railing to move an inch. Somebody start

has already in Asia territory exceeding

tanning over 100000 people, Port Ar

power over Korea which will add much
to her strength.
"The completion Of the trans Siberian
railway and it's branches, the opening of
the Nicaraguan canal and the annexation
of the Pacific islands to the United States
will more thoroughly revolutionize the
commercial relations of the world than
has ever been done by all other influences
combined during the last three centuries.
1T seems to me that there is but little
limit to the possibilities which are be-
fore us. and we are certainly justified in
the belief and hope that the United States
is on the edge of an era of unprecedented
prOSDerity."

Ask For More Time.

Washington, March S.-Several CONFER

day on the pending reciprocation treaty
with France, with the result it Is
thought. that the French government
would be communicated with on the pro-
position to extend the time for it's final
ratification or rejection. BY the terms
of the treaty action must be taken before
the oath of the present month and 1t is
the opinion of many prominent members
of congress that If pushed to a vote at
this session the treaty will fail, hence
there is an effort being made to secure
postponement until the terms of the
treaty can be more fully considered.

THE FRENCH TREATY
To BE CONSIDERED
BY THE CAUCUS.

New York, March 8.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Friends
of the French reciprocity treaty in the
senate are going to make an effort to
bring about the ratification of the treaty
in the coming week. If necessary it will
be made the subject of caucus action.
AS the matter now stands the treaty was
practically deadlocked by motion to re-
fer it to the finance committee. 1t has
already been favorably reported from
the committee on foreign relations and
was briefly considered in executive ses-
sion. The opponents of the treaty in
clude the entire New England delegation,
which has the best parliamentary tacticl>
ans in the senate. If vote could he
reached it is asserted that the treaty
could easily muster the two-thirds to in
sure it's ratification.
Appeals from all parts of the country
are daily made to senators in behalf of
the prompt ratification of the treaty but
by sharp practice the opposition has thus
far ben able to prevent decisive action.
So bitter is the contest over this treaty
that the steering committee has been
unable thus far to bring about an amic-
able adjustment of the difficulty. At a
IASCtlu6 VI Tic COIIluulLcc JulS subject
was under consideration and it is UNDER
stood that the case will be referred to
the republican caucus which is to be held
in a few days for the purpose of trying
to untangle the snarls into which the re-
publican party in the senate has been
drawn by recent events.
The friends Of the French treaty are
anxious to avoid making party ques-
ton of it as they are relying upon large
democratic vote to assist in it's ratifica-
tion. The opponents of the treaty are
urging political objections to it and
openly declare that it's ratification will
be disastrous, not only to the Mckinley
administration, but to the business inter.
ests of the country.
They maintain that the treaty is poorly
drawn and the benefits to be derived
from it will be enjoyed by few giant
interests at the expense of a great num-
ber Of smaller but equally deserving
business enterprises.
Senator Aldrich, who IL leading the op-
position to the treaty asserts that he
does not wish to defeat a reasonable and
properly framed reciprocity treaty be.

1ondon March S.-The queen reached
Paddington station about 1880 O'CLOCK
TODAY and proceeded under a cavalry es-
cort to Buckingham palace amid scenes
riyalling in enthusiasm those of Jubilee
dav. Throughout the demonstrations
there predominated note of triumph
and the cheers that made the murky
streets ring were almost as much in hon
or of the British victories In South At
rica, as they were vociferous tributes OF
a loyal people to a monarch whose wom-
anly sympathy has been so striklngly
shown since the war began.
The royal party's departure from Wind
sor was marked by more than usual In
terest For hours before the queen start
ed for London, crowds gathered In the
streets which had been announced as her
route through the metropolis and which
were decorated with flags. 1t was foggy
and cold but no one seemed to care.
At Paddington the station had been
cleared of the general public, but outside
thousands of people waited patiently.
When the train from Windsor arrived a
tremendous cheer went up. Her majesty
came down the platform leaning on the
arm Of an Indian attendant and entered
an open landau in which also sat Prin-
cess Henry Of Battenberg, and Princess
Victoria of Schleswig- -Holstein. They all
wore black.
From packed sidewalks and from every
available window came a continuous roar
OF cheers, while hundreds Of little flags
were waved all the way to Buckingham
Palace. The side streets were packed
ten, twenty and some times a hundred
deep.
But it was around the palace itself that
the chief throng gathered. BY nine in
the morning carriages, cabs and vehicles
o fevery sort, people from the city and
the west end and distant parts Of the
country congregated in st. James Park
which the palace fronts. BY noon it was
estimated $4,000 people were gathered
about the palace, patiently waiting.
