1t is predicted in London tina. un-
less conditions change American -four
will soon compel the closing OF the
mills of England. In France American
flour is able to pay the high tarin
duties and proftably compete with
French-milled -four. II is claimed that
American millers can grind the wheat
into -four cheaper than British or
French millers. A comparison of the
ordinary -four mills of European coun-
tries with those OF the United States
carries out this assertion. Long ago
In this country the old-fashione6 grist
mill gave place to the merchant mill
and the roller process took the place
of the grinding process. Water power
and steam engines Of the most eff
Gent and economical character are be-
ing used as motive power. In fact, in
America the milling industry has been
reduced to the most economical meth

They Tear Up Part OF Roberts Vital
Line OF Hallway.

London. June 1.-THE Beers have
torn up tweRty-oHe miles of Lord Rob
erts' vital line Of railway between
America Siding and Roodeyal. 1t Is Il
bold raid and yexatious, but 1t does
not disquiet the military authorities as
get for they expect Gen. keily-henny
10 drive off the ~marauders and reopen
the line. The rapidity of the advance
Of Lord Roberts cannot have permitted
kim 10 have accumulated large reserve
stores. Therefore interruption OF the
railway even for a week must embar-
rass the army and must bring the for
ward operations
To q standxtiIl.
Nothing has been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the enemy. the strenuous opposition to
Gen. Rurdle and the nimble escape OF
Gen. Botha's division have forced the
war Office observers TO the reluctant
conclusion that the war is not yet over,
although even the occasional hopeful
Boer sympathiZer cannot see how the
Beers can do anything TO change h
result. Gen. Butler is in Boer territory.
Dispatches OF correspondents with him
filed yesterday at sunset describe the
corps as camping at Galonseil,
Close to the Point
where the frontiers of the Free State,
the Transvaal ard Natal meet. The
British marched eight miles yester-
day says a Reuter- correspondent,
without encountcring any opposition.
The Beers. who bad n gun, withdrew
under heavy artillery fire, TO a range
just past the camp"
This long range. running skirmish
Will doubtless be renewed his morn
ing. Gen. Butler Is expected TO make
rapid progress now and TO throw The
weight Of 20.000 men into Lord Rob
erts' Transvaal combinations.
Determined to Fight.
Gen. Rundle's and Gen. Brabant's di-
visions are still at Hammonia. in the
Ficksburg district. The latest intelli-
gence from their headquarters is that
the Beers are determined to fight TO
the bitter end. They are concentrating
1900 men around Bethlehem. The
country between them and Gen. Run
die is mountainous and resembles
Northern Natal in being exceedingly
difficult for military operations. Gen.
Rundle's plans are TO prevent the
Beers getting past him southwark.
Occupied by Hunter.
Gen. Hunters advance guard has &C.
cupied Ventersdorp. 100 miles south
west of Pretoria. This took place on
June Z. Gen. Plumer's column is on
the Glands river, northwest OF Pre-
toria. The British are sending detach-
mcnts right and left to accept the sur
renders of colnInaudos, horses. cattle
and forage anil TO overawe the sparee-
iy settled country. Tlus far only one
small commando has been heard of, Il
commando at Tail Basch.

well dlsmay one unused TO such a
