ROBERTS MUST THROW THE NET AGAIN
Little Chance That He Will Succeed in Catch
ing the Beers.

London, April 26.-(5 a. m)-It is now
apparent that the chances of Lord Rob
erts catching the retreating Beers in a
net are very slender. The Beers have
everywhere retired at the first pressure
cf the British advance, and the hope that
General Rundle would be able to induce
them to remain at Dewetsdorp until they
had been forced to fight or to surrender
has been disappointed.
No attempt was made to pursue the
commanders retiring from Wepener.
Everything now depends upon the prog
ress of General French's cavalry brig
AIDES, but they are entering a very diff
cut, hilly and practically unknown coun-
try
The cavalry have already had long
march over heavy and sandy roads, and
nothing is known regarding the condition
Of the horses. In any case it is now a
race between the Federals and the forces
of General French and General Hamilton.
The slowness of the recent moves of
the British infantry and previous expert
ence of the ability of the Beers to move
rapidly. with guns and baggage, over their
own country, lead to a belief that Lord
Roberts enveloping operations will fail
and will have to be repeated further north.
AT the most, he will perhaps capture some
Boer guns and baggage and harry the re-
treating burghers.
Considerable results have been attain
ed in the relief of Wepener, and in the
clearing of the southeastern corner of
the Free State of the Beors but the
Boer army. whatever its strength, has
still to be dealt with.

Il will not" replied Mr.. Moody.
Then he added another sensational
statement to the effect that n large
block of the stock of the concern had
been sent to a near relative of prom
inent member of the House as a new
years gift.
''But / am proud to say" said Mr..
Moody, ''that the return mail carried
back that dishonoring and dishonor-
able gift"
When the applause that greeted this
statement had died out Mr.. Moody APP
pealed to the House not to endorse
''this sort of a transaction.
Mr.. Moody disclaimed any intention
of rejecting upon the Postoftice Com
mittee, which he highly commended.
He was especially glowing in his
praise of Mr.. Loud. the Chairman of
the Committee. Mr.. Moody said he
had been appealed to by commercial
bodies of Boston to aid in the extern
sion of this service, but he refused to
close his eyes to his duty in this mat
ter. He charged that companies in all
the large cities of the country were
preparing to raid Congress in behalf
of further extension of the tube ser
vice.
Mr.. Bingham, (Pa.). thought in view
of the disclosures of Mr. Moody that
the testimony which sustained them
should be printed in the record and
with Mr.. Moody's assent it was agreed
to place the testimony in the record.
Mr.. Bingham said that Congress
was not concerned with the question
or morals involved in an eX-assistant
postmaster general taking service
with corporation but with the ques-
ton whether the tube service was val
liable in eXpediting the mails. He
earnestly favored the extension of the
service. The postmaster general, he
said. had said that this service could
be extended to 27 cities for $9,500,O
and for compensation very ''reasona-
ble.'

POLE-CAREW REACHES ROODEKoP,
Roberts Tells of Heavy Fighting Marking His
Advance
(By the Associated Press.)

London, April 25th-(4:57 p. m.)-The
War Office has received the following dis
patch from Lord Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, April 25.-Pole- -Carew' S
division reached Roodekop yesterday
evening without casualties.
''Its advance was covered by cavalry
and horse artillery which drove back the
enemy with heavy loss, their dead being
left on the ground. The mounted troops
halted for the night at Grootfontein, and
at 80 this morning were crossing the
Modder River at Valsbank, in accordance
with my instructions to French to en-
deavor to place himself astride the enc
my's line of retreat French's arrival
near the Modder evidently, however,
alarmed the Beers for they evacuated
their strong position near DewetsdOrp du-
ring the night and it was occupied by
Chermsides division this morning.
THE mounted infantry under General
Hamilton drove the enemy off the kopjes
in the neighborhood of the waterworks
without casualties on our side.
The Highland brigade marched twenty
four miles yesterday to support General
Hamilton and halted for the night at
Kip Kraal, four miles short of Sannas-
Post.
'Brabant and Hart are still a few miles
short of Wepener and the numbers of the
enemy appear to have somewhat in
creased during the last few days. But
it is not likely there will be much trouble
in the neighborhood of Wepener once
Dewetsdcrp is occupied by our troops.
Il inspected the city imperial volun-
teer battalion yesterday on their arrival
at Bloemfcnten. They are in fine form
and look very workmanlike.
Il also inspected the first company of
imperial yeomanry, which has arrived
here. The men turn out smart and their
horses are in admirable condition."
