IN FULL RETREAT
Lord Roberts Reports the Beers
Flying North Before British
Advance Force.
Net Resistance in Crossing the
Zand but His Casualties
Still Unknown.
Rapidity of His Movements
Surprise to the Most Sam
guine Britisher.

LONDON, May 1.-THE war Office haa
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts: s.ssasssss.e4.ssssasssssr
'sCabls Cart, zand River, May 1e,-
Che enemy are in full retreat. They
occupied position 20 miles III length.
Ours was necessarily longer. With the
widely scattered force it will take some
time to learn the casualties, but l am
hopeful we have not suffered much.
The cavalry and horse artillery are pur-
suing the Beers by three different
roads"
A previous telegram from Lord Rob
erts says:
eve are now across the Zand river.
The enemy are still holding strong
position, but we are gradually pushing
them back"
Lord Roberts telegraphed to the war
office from Welgelegen, under date Of
May 9, as follows:
"Pole- Carew's and fuckers divisions,
Hamilton's column Of heavy naval and
Royal garrison artillery guns and four
brigades Of cavalry marched here today.
The enemy hold the opposite bank of
the Zand river. Their strength will be
ascertained tomorrow, when hope to
be able to force a passage of the river. !"

SOONER THAN EXPECTED.
Crossing of the Zand River Causes Re-
joicing in London.

Crossing of the Zand River Causes Re-
joicing in London.
LONDON, May 1.-THE crossing Of
the Zand river by the British appears to
have been effected sooner than even the
most sanguine expected and Lord Rob-
erts' temporary headquarters is estab-
ished in a cable cart on the north bank
of the river. The opposition that the
federals are offering shows that Wednes-
days report of the abandonment of their
position were ill-founded but Lord Rob-
erts' advance force, consisting Of from
10000 to $4,000 mounted men, besides
infantry, artillery and the naval con-
tingent, appears to be sufficiently pow
erful to overwhelm any opposition the
burghers can offer. Even though, as
they have been reinforced by
5000 men from other commands and
possess score of heavy guns, the ex
perts believe the opposition will not be
prolonged longer than is necessary to
remove the guns and other impedi-
mentia in the direction of Kroonstadt.
Further reports from Lourenzo Mar
ques show that the customs authorities
there, in addition to clothing and shoes,
refuse to clear corned beef for the
Transvaal, holding it as contraband.
Lord Roberts announcement of the
fiji ght of the Beers from the Zand river
naturally caused considerable gratifca-
ton at the war Office, where it is now
bel eyed that he will not allow the fed
erals enough breathing space to reform
toward Kroonstad. 1t is even thought
it is just possible that Lord Roberts
transport may be in such condition that
he will be able to keep his troops NOV
ing so rapidly as to drive the Beers
right through Kroonstad without Civ
ing them time to organize resistance
in the formidable entertainments so
prepared at the Valsch river.

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN OF
THE WEATHER BUREAU.
For the Week Ending May 2, 1900.

For the Week Ending May 7, 1900.
There was practically no rain
north of the Minnesota River during
the week, and in southern counties
there were only light and much
scattered showers. The weather was
cool in the middle of the week, and
on the mornings of the End, 3rd and
4th there we're severe frosts, and ice
was formed in many places as thick
as window glass. Early in the week
high winds dried out the soil, and in
Kittson county a severe dust storm
was reported. The harley and oats
are about all seeded ;most of the
wheat and much of the barley and
oats are up and are growing very
nicely with good stands, though in
Polk county it is said thst wheat is
not as even as it would have been
with earlier and more abundant
rains. The cool weather of the week
has been favorable to the root growth
and stooling of early sown small
grains. Potato planting is pretty
we'll advanced. Flax has been sown
during the week, and in few places
it is all in the ground. Some corn
has been planted, and great deal of
corn ground is ready for the seed,
but many are deferring planting
till the soil is warmer. Gardening is
very we'll advanced, and the market
gardeners have made the first deli
cry of out-of- door GROWN stuff. The
warm weather of the previous week
started the fruit buds, and wild
plums, crab apples, cherries and
Strawberries are in full bloom, or
nearly so. Reports as to the effects
of the frosts are contradictory. The
cold was severe enough, especially IN
low lands, to freeze the young plans
of vegetables, and grains, and
possibly the fruit blossoms, and in
some blpces the vegetables and all
grains but wheat were wilted to the
ground, but as the frosts of early
May have not caused serious loss
in previous years, it is probable that
the injury to fruits and grains will be
found to be slight this season. Past
ures are green, but the growth of
grass will not be rapid till there is
more ain, and warmer weather.

sTERNER POLICY ADOPTED.

Lord Roberts Trying to Prevent Guerrilla
Fighting in British Rear.
CAPE Town, May 1.-THE Boer losses
at Brandfort are now reported to have
been much heavier than was at first
understood. After the battle British
patrols visited the farm houses in the
surrounding district, all the members
were taken prisoner while the horses
and guns were removed. Lord Roberts
is thus adopting sterner policy with a
view of preventing guerrilla fighting in
the rear of the British. Horses are now
commandered and farm houses where
guns are found are destroyed, while the
men are arrested.

The Fecundity of Swine.

The impression is prevalent among
farmers that pure-bred swine are I'M
profitable for breeding purposes, as it
is thought that as purity of breed in
creases fecundity decreases. The ques-
ton of the fecundity Of improved
breeds of swine was investigated re-
Gently by the Indiana station. The
number of pigs farrowed and raised in
the first and the last 200 filters re-
corded in the registers of Berkshire.
Poland China, and Chester White pigs
were compiled. In comparing the lit
tiers. 100 filters were selected in which
the soWs were recorded, and 100 in
which the boars were recorded. The
dates of narrowing of the first 200 lit
ters varied through a number of years.
The last 200 filters were almost all far
rowed in 1896. The popular opinion
was not confirmed by this investiga-
ton.
While there seems to be a reduction
in the number of very large litters, the
total number narrowed is about the
same as shown by the first records. 1t
