The Geological Park.

The enlargement of the National Zoologi-
cal Park is a matter which should receive
immediate attention. There will never be
a better time to deal with il. and there
is absolutely no reason why the purchase
of additional land in the vicinity of the
park should not be made at once Land
is cheap there now. and in the future II
is more than likely that the present price
may be doubled or trebled. When land is
wanted for / purpose such as this. II is
not wise to wait until it is selling BY the
foot instead of by the acre
The cheapness Of the land at the present
time is really the chief reason why these
engagements should be made at once. Il
is easy TO do a thing as it ought to be
done, when the cost is slight: but il de-
)ayed until the expense is greatly increased
the chances are that it will never be done
ut all. Nowhere is this more forcibIy illus
trated than in the city OF Washington. As
it stands. this city is one of the most
beautiful in the land. and this is largely
due to the fact that it was built according
to carefully constructed plan. and not
allowed to grow in a kaphazard fashion.

L. Goehring counsel for James King
Clarke, of Pittsburg, in his suit for divorce,
yesterday evening denied the rumor that
he had been a party to a meeting which
had for its object the reconciliation Of Mr..
and Mrs Clarke. He said that since he
has been here he has not seen Mr. Clarke
nor does he Know at the. present time
where he is. Mr.. Clarke, with his brother
left Pittsburg Saturday a week ago. and
since then Lawyer Goehring has had no
information as to his whereabouts
There is to be no meeting here In re-
gard to the case as IL will not come ND
for retrial until some time IN the fall The
disagreement Of the jury in the first trial

Clarke is determined to have the case 60
TO a finish. In regard 10 the statement
that there is TO be a new correspondent
named in the second trial. Mr.. Goehring
said: 1T might be the same person as was

Roberts, Advance On Pretoria.

After many weeks OF suspense covering
some minor actions and several "regretta-
bic incidents" the army OF Field Marshal
Lord Roberts may be said to save opened
the campaign in South Africa, which he
and his Government expect TO erd in the
occupation OF Pretoria and the Surrender
Of the Beers. some time between. now and
September
The movements have not -. developed
sufficiently to follow them very closely
Many OF the minor places mentioned in the
dispatches do not appear on the military
maps available here; but, in a general way.
the news Of last night ard today affords
US a fairly lucid idea of the advance Lord
Roberts, after occupying Brandfort on
Saturday, was able to force passage of the
Vet River. few miles southwest of Win
burg. On Sunday he advanced to Smaldeel
Junction, apparently by developing his left
and turning the Beer right covering Win
burg. This appears TO have rendered that
position untenable as the Beers are last
reported as evacuating the locality and
falling back hastily in the direction Of
Kroonstad.
To the right, Gen. Ian Hamilton. who
had fought his way up from Thaba N'Chu
on Saturday crossed the Kleine Vet, gained
possession of the main road to Ladybrand
cut OF a Boer commando moving toward
Winburg. and is reported to have occupied
that place. To the right OF WiBburg sew
eral columns appear 10 be engaged In a
movement preliminary TO an extension OF
the line toward Bethlehem. but their i'm
mediate purpose is doubtless to trap the
Beers who are still in some force between
Thaba N'Chu Ladybrand and AIlandaIe-
Ian Hamilton success in heading OFF 4
part Of these commands suggests a prob
ability that all viii be caught between the
several attachments disposed TO intercept
them. There was stIl fighting at Thaba
