THE PRESIDENTS PLAN.
To Place Gems. Wheeler and Lee
on Retired List of the Reg

Washington, d. c., March lit is
evident that an effort is being made by
some of the administration officials to
induce Gen. Wheeler to withdraw his re-
quest for immediate action upon his res
ignation. 1t is intimated that this eff
fort is attributable solely to an interest
i'll the personal welfare of the general.
In this connection it is recalled that the
President has had it in mind to
ask Congress for special legislation
empowering him to retire Gen.
Wheeler, Gen. Lee, and anoth-
CT brigadier-general of volunteers,
with the rank of brigadier- general
in the regular army. Some Of the per-
sons who are interested in the success of
this movement feel that by immediate
resignation and the prosecution of his
present determination to attempt to Sc
cure his seat in the House of Representa-
tives, Gen. Wheeler will arouse antag-
Onisms which may make it difficult or ina
possible thereafter to secure from the
House the legislation needful to secure
his retirement

most impressive when the Sixth division
marched through in grand style, not
Withstanding that like the rest of the
army it had covered forty miles in TWEEN
ty-seyen hours. Large numbers OF the
bnrghers are surrendering their arms.
Many have fed to their homes. Others
are trekking to the east or to the north
with their cattle and goods. During the
last few days the inhabitants of Bloem-
fontein had gone in deadly fear of the VIC
lence of the Transvaaiers and consc-
guently the city resembles rather re-
lieved than a captured town. Mr. Yves

England to solicit public sympathy and
TO plead for the independence Of the

from Bloemf0nfe1n. dated tuesday: Con
tempt for the fight of the Free Staters
IS universal, many people asserting that
President Steyn would have been shot
if his intention to flee had been known.
More harm has been done the Dutch
cause by the ignominious surrender than
is conceivable. and, despite the state
ments of the brother of Steyn it is doubt
full that there will be any more resistance
south of the Wall
No Boer wounded were left in Bloom
fonten. When asked the reason by Lord
Roberts, Mr.. Fraser replied: THE
burghers don't like fish, and would not
care to so to Cape Town"
The evidence goes to show that so far
as the southern part of the Free State
is concerned, there will be no further
resistance. 1t is understood that Mr.
Fraser, Mr.. Vessels and other leaders
are quite prepared to accept the position
of self-governing British colony.
