BOLD PLAN OF THE RoERs

Pretoria.
London. July 16.-Lord Roberts
dispatch. reporting still another un-
fortunate occurrence. throws serious
light upon the state of affairs in South
Africa. There has been some COM
ment recently regarding the virtual
absence of progress by the immense
army under command of LORD Rob-
erts. but few, could have been found to
believe that the scattered Beers were
able to infict such q defeat so near
Pretoria.
Instead of the surrender of all of the
remaining Beers being imminent. as
recent kilograms had limited, it seems
they have been making a concerted at.
tempt to surround or recapture Pre-
toria, with SO much success that in the
region which was supposed to be paci-
fed, and in which no attack was ex-
pectd. they succeeded in inflicting q
serious defeat, and capturing two guns
and some 200 men. 1t is evident that
General Botha has considerable force,

Roberts lines ut half dozen points
around Pretoria, from the springs to
the southeast of the city nOrthward to
Middelburg and Durdepoort and thence
southwark to Nitral's Mex and Krug-
ersdorf.
Lord Roberts omits to give the name
of the commander concerned, giving
rise to the belief that worse remains to
be told. Even II the mishap be not
more grave than his information at
present implies, it proves that the stu.
alton is still serious. and that there il
no possibility of any troops being spared
from South Africa for China, but on
the contrary, it will still take long
time to clear the country of the Beers.
News has reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from q seri-
ous bowel complaint, and that Lady
Roberts was hurriedly summoned to
Bloem fontein.

Penn. r. r. Officials on a tour.


Last week q special train carrying
the officials of the Pennsylvsnia
Railroad Company passed over the
Shenandoah Valley Branch of the
Norfolk & Western Railway, on an
inspection of the roads in
Virginia and West Virginia
OF which the Pennsy is about
to possess itself. The inspection par
ty travelled in train composed of
President Cassat's private car, q
Pullman combination car, three
Pullman compartment cars, Pull
man observation car and Pennsyl.
vsnis Railroad dining car. This
train left Broad Street station IN
Philadelphis Monday morning at
o'clock and arrived at Hagerstown
about noon. Here the Pennsylvania
men were joined by the officials of
the Norfolk Il Western, and their
train started for fast run to Roa-
noke, where they remained over
night.
The party left Roanoke over the
n. & W. Tuesday morning for Co
lumbuS, Ohio, going thence TO Gin
cinnsti, where they take the Chesa-
peake 4 Ohio Railroad for Charles.
ton, W. Va, returning to Philadel-
phia by Washington, arriving home
Friday evening.
The announced intention of the
Pennsylvania officials is to examine
carefully the Norfolk < Western
and Chesapeake & Ohio Railroads.
which they will soon entirely CON
troll. These two roads have in their
hands large proportion of the bi-
luminous coal trade of this country.
and from their terminals 1T Norfolk
aud Newport News ship vast guam
titles to Europe.
The Pennsylvania proposes to
make great developments in the
West Virginia section. As part of
the agreement with the Vanderbilt
system the Pennsylvania has the
soft coal sections under its care.
The Pennsylvania system holds the
key to the situation in the Norfolk
x Western, the Chesapeake and
Ohio aud the and the Baltimore and
OHIO, and hss in contemplation the
establishment of separate line of
coal-csrrying steamers to Europe.
Ii is said that within the next two
years the Pennsylvania will expend
from $4,000, to $l2,OOO,OOO in de
veloping the properties in the Vir-
ginias and in establishing the new
steamship line. The possibilities
are regarded asIunexampled aud the
returns, it is said, will far more than
meet the expenditure due to the de-
Yelopment.
The development of the export
coal business has worked greatly to
the advantage of the Norfolk 4
Western on account of the knowledge
abroad of the good quality of the
coal. Consequently the company
made preparations at Norfolk in the
way of terminal facilities which tit
into the requirements. Pennsylva-
MAS management has decided to take
every opportunity afforded TO meet
the new conditions, and the inspec-
ton tour is intended to cover every
thing that may lead to the proper
expenditure of funds to accomplish
results'-Shep. Register.
