His Advance Has Begun in Earnest
and With Success.
LONDON, May 14-1:52 P. MA des-
patch by The Associated Press from Piet-
ermaritzburg, Natal, timed 1906 P. NJ. to-
day, brings the first intimation Of a sue
cess attained by General Butler in North
ern Natal. The sender of this despatch
evidently assumes that news of the af-
fair has been received direct from the
scene OF hostilities, for he merely says:

fyins his success at the Bissarsberg, re-

Mr.. BRYAN'S SPEECH.
Which Was Delivered ut the Opeinps
of the Carnival Yesterday.
The address of Mr. InSenh IISrI-ar u 1uas

The address of MIR. Joseph Bryan was
as follows:
Mr.. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Inc occasion which has brought us to-
gether IS one of peculiar and absorbing in
terest. While the people of Richmond have
united in many objects Of patriotism benev-
olence and business. they have not here
tofore undertaken So comprehensive and
unique d plan for combining pleasure and
business as that which We are to inaugu-
rate to-day.
This splendid audience, the display OF
thoughtful and beautiful preparat: ton which
may be seen throughout our city, all give
proof that our people are united and are
working together for common end. Yet
this spirit of united effort and co-opera-
ton which has produced these results was
not once so marked a characteristic OF
the people of Richmond The disposition
or our fathers was rather to individual
than to cooperative efforts There were,
however. here in by-sone days eminent ex-
amples of ability and success IN almost
every department of Industrial and COM
merclal enterprise. The product of the mills
of Richmond was known throughout the
world. and her flour was justly esteemed
the best on earth. Her ircn-workers were
among the most skillful in the land, and
upon them did our soldiers faithfully and
without disappointment rely for the NUM-
stions of war to defend our capital The
most generous and bountifu hospitality
was dispensed from beautiful homes. and
Richmond was famed for the refinement
and elegance of its society
SPIRIT OF HOSPITALITY.
But these Industrial enterprises were In
diviauai. and the spirit of hospitality had
not then so widely prevailed that as we
have since happily seen, our whole people.
as one person, rejoice to entertain tens of
thousands who come to honor our great
heroes.

Lewiston, June 19.-The annual COM
menoement concert to be given at Music
hall, Tuesday evening, June 20, under the
auspices of the class of 1900, bids fair to
excel in musical excellence anything Civ

of this entertainment. Mr.. Powers is
without doubt the most popular imper-

representation of the drama.
The Apollo quartette of Boston, has
also been secured, with Walter Payne, the
famous male soprano, and Fred Kendall,

unequaled in his speciality. He possesses
a remarkable voice, singing in ladies'
costume with the grace and ease of an
operatic artist. He renders some Of the
most difficult music of Melba and Patti

Although the physicians do not seem to

the belief that Flaherty was not
murdered.
Although the men detailed for this duty
