Afternoon Dlspatchesl

London, May q, goo p. m.-Once
more Lord Roberts is advancing In
force.
The wait at Kroonstad is over and
already the main British army is about
twenty miles north Of lis former rest
ing place, judging from the dispatches
Of Lord Roberts at HonIngspruit sta
tlon, while thanking him on either side
Of the railroad Gen. French's cavalry
and General Ian Hamiltons mounted
infantry are both slightly In advance
Of Lord Roberts and threatening 10
enyelog the Boer position which ex-
tends for twenty miles due north.
Gen French probably CROSSED the
Rhenoster river near the junction with
Honlngspruit, which runs thence 70
Honingspruit station. The main Brit
ish army win probably advance along
the railroad. while Gen. French con-
verges from the west and Gen. Ham
nton from the east. Against this over
whelming force the Beers will proOa-
bly, follow their usual tactics Of rctir-
inc 20 positions. which doubtless have
been prepared In advance for their oc-
cupation.
Gen. French and Gen. Hamilton are
separated by about 40 miles, while
Lord Roberts Is within ~ miles Of Gen.
French and 30 miles of Gen. Hamil-
ton

NJ ID FIGHTINC NOW.

Since the last dispatch left Honing-
spruit yesterday, Lord Roberts has
doubtless stlll further advanced. and by
now Is either engaging OF following the
retreatiug Beers Definite dispatches
received this morning make it clear the
Vaal river has not yet been crossed,
as nearly 40 miles interyenes between
q and Lord Roberts advance ilankers.
The small number OF casualties sus-
tanned by Gen. Hamilton 30 his occupa-
ton Of Hebron bears out the theory
that the Beers viii make no strenuous
resistance until the Vaal Is reached, or
until even later.
Dispatches to the Associated Press
from Hebron say that the Boer gon-
eral, Dewei, had 1000 men posted on
an adjacent hill but that he retired
when Gen Hamilton approached.
President sieyn fed from Hebron

BADEN-POWELL on MAFEKING.

The first word received from Col.
Baden Powell at Mafeklng hpightens
rather than diminishes the report here
tofore cabled Of the gallantry exhibited
by the garrison during the closing days
OF the siege.
During an interview with the CORES
pendent OF the Reuters Telegram COM
pany, May H. Col. Baden-Powell said:
My great endeayor Is TO prevent the
relief force from trying 20 rush into the
place before they are strong enough 10
do SO. 10 would be better 90 make GER
tain OF relief In two months than 10 be
beaten In an attempted relief In one
month. You remember Il was said In
the old DAYS In Hululand that the ma
lives called me 'umhala Panza' (the
man who does not rush things) The
knowledge that the whole empire
was watching with appreciation the
good fighting Of the garrison has been
worth an extra pound Of rations n day
TO the garrison. II was difficult to per-
suade the civilians OF the necessity OF
submitting 20 martial law We had
our little difficulties, but laier there was
loyal acceptance OF the military adj
miuistration. and there was no trou.
bic al all. The devotion OF the nurses
and the women generally was most
marked"

sheep I'm the Northwest.

OF the sheep in the northwest the
Washington Post-Intelligencer says:
I'm eastern Washington. where sheep
raising is one Of the important indus
tries, the sheep owners have found
woolgrowing to be profitable again.
and the flocks have increased both in:
number and In value. 1t is reported
that many of the sheepmen have seen
their property virtually double Ii value
during the past four years. In Oregon.
which is even more Of a sheep state
than Washing ton, the same gratif wing
change Is to be noticed. Something
like 3,5o0,000 sheep are now owned IN
that state. In 1896, according to the
government reports. 0regon's Hocks
numbered 2,630, $40 Recent inpestiga-
tions demonstrate that in Oregon at
least there Is no other industry which
has been stimulated and made more
noticeably prosperous than that OF
sheen raising.

still and wait, says. a writer in the
London Live Stock Journal We shall
want a lot Of riding horses as re-
mounts, no doubt and Of different
types. ranging. indeed, from the pony
OF the Highland scout to the heavy
chargers Of the Life guards. Where
and how these viii be bred and broken
will be a matter Of careful consid dera-
ton, and no doubt farmers On their
light lands may elect to leave OFF breed
Ing very hea horses--With them al
ways a matter of uncertainty and
throw in their lot with the military.
All the more readily possibly viii they
do SO il they belong to any yeomanry
corps, as then most likely they will be
paid certain sum for the use OF their
horses when at drill, with the ultimate
option Of selling at profit.
1t may possibly be true enough that
the great strides which have been
made in draft horse breeding during
the past 25 years may have caused the
farmer to stop producing such clean
legged sorts-the misfits of the hunting
feld-in such numbers as he used to-
do, but all commercially minded men,
when they find one department of their
business steadily making loss and
another a gain, quickly determine to
cut the former and concentrate their
time and capital on the latter. Good
young entire draft colts for all parts Of
the two Americas paid excellentIy well
I for a time, some at2 years old fetching
as much as 120 guineas, which is con
tsiderably more than could be got for
well made hunter in many places. Lat
terly 6-year-old street geldings which
have worked in p1ow and in cart three
years and earned all their keep and a
margin more have been fetching from
! 80 guineas to 100 guineas, and the de-
mand does not show any falling of.
Nor will it ever in the face Of large
bodies Of figures which just now are
showing what enormous amounts are
being paid for horsefesh to carry on
the South African campaign. Some of
that money, if not the larger part Of it,
| will come back to this country when
the war is over for pure stock.
Already the effect of the depletion Is
being sharply felt in the United States.

| an abiding peace and the replacement
of the horse carrying ships on their old
routes till we shall see the familiar
faces SO well known in the early seven
ties back at our old homesteads. There
are now plenty of young colts and fl
lies which can comply with the United
States demand for fair registered pedi-
gree crosses, and for such the market
will largely rule
