MAFEkING HARD PRESSED.
Garrison Almost at the Point of
Starvation.

London, April 14.--Mafeking, hard
pressed on every side by the Beers and
almost at the point of starvation, has
now left but one hope of relief. This is
through Gen. Carrington's somewhat
mysterious movement from the north.
Private kilograms from Bloemfontein
received in London yesterday state that
Lord Roberts has determined to send no
further troops from the south 10 the sue
cor of Baden-PowelPs heroic garrison.
Lord Methuen's force will probably be
either recalled to Boemfontein to take
part in Lord Roberts general movement
towards Pretoria or will he directed to
keep the Beers in check near Kroonstad
until the general move begins.
Not Worth the Effort.
Lord Roberts, it is argued by war ex-
perts in London, has come to the concu-
sion that Mafeking is not worth the eff
fort necessary to save it. He would
have to send 5000 men at least to accom-
plish the task. and even then might fail
Gen. Darlington column consists of
5000 hardy bushmen. A month ago this
force was at Beira. From Beira to I'm
tall is about two days journey by rail-
From Umtali 20 Fort Tuli it is go miles
march over an accessible country. From
Fort Tuli to Mafeking the distance is
barely $50 miles, with a railroad most of
the way.
Practically nothing has been heard of
Carringtons army for nearly a month.
but the supposition is that it is moving
towards Mafeking and will swoop down
upon the investing Beers any day.
Still, nothing is certain about if. and
many things would surprise London
more than the fall Of Mafeking. this not
understanding the undoubted confidence
in BadenPowell.

London, April 14.-The Daily Mail
published the following dispatch, dated
yesterday, from Lourenco Marques:
The actual Boer losses to the end Of
March, including prisoners, are estimated

Preparing for Another Siege.
Kimberley, April 1.-THE town guard
has been remobilized and guns have been
remounted at the forts, owing to the fears
of the popuace that the Beers will again
attempt siege. A battalion of the Scot
fish rifles has arrived and redOubts
around the town are manned with regu-
lar troops. Military authorities regard
these fears as groundless.
Beers Moving Westward.
London, April 14-The Telegraph has
the following from Elandslaagte dated
April l3: The Beers are changing their
tactics and are moving from Glencoe
westward, with a view OF threatening

The Queen of England takes a vivid
interest in the wounded who have lately
been accommodated in the splendid
wards of Royal Victoria hospital at Net

son and are unable to perceive how Gen.
Darlington can relieve it without a march
Of 500 miles, which will take up many
weeks. The closest observers are not
convinced that this attempt will be made
but are disposed to believe that his force
will be employed exclusively on the north

ANOTHER MAIL TRAIN.
Burlington Route Puts on New Train for Mail 10
the Northwest.


the Northwest.
The Burlington is more than iustifying
it's title, The Fast Mail Route. Com
mencing Sunday, November 4, it places
in service third fast mail train from
Chicago 10 the Missouri river.
The new train will leave Chicago at
$3.50 a. M, the same day, there connect
ing with the Burlington's st. Louis
Portland Express for the Northwest
Unlike the Burlington's two other fast
mail trains, the new train will carry pas
sengers
A considerable portion Of the mail for
Butte, Helena, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and other points on the Northern Pacific
west Of Billings, will now be carried by
the Burlington Route from Chicago via
Lincoln to Billings, Mont, and thence
westward over the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
In connection with the establishment
OF the new train. II is interesting TO note
the growth of the Burlington's mail
traffic. On March IL, 1854, the first ex-
elusive fast mail for the west left Chicago
over the Burlington. II was composed
OF one mail ana one baggage car. The
demands OF the the postotfice depart
ment increased until a second exclusive
mail train became necessity This the
Burlington placed in service on January
2 1889. With the addition the third
westbound mail train, the Burlington
will be hauling for the government from
twelve 10 sixteen carloads Of mail from
Chicago TO the Missouri river every
twenty. -four hours.
Twelve times since the Inauguration
OF the Burlington fast mail service.
has the government asked this railroad
TO shorten It's time between Chicago and
Council Bluffs. Every time has the Bur
lington complied with the request. The
run is now made in ten hours and
twenty-five minutes, and the fastest fast
mail train in America runs over the Bur-
linston. For more than sixteen years
has the Burlington kept faith with Uncle
Sam ia the transportation Of his mails,
at times overcoming apparently insur-
mountable obItacles In its determine
tion TO deliver the mail on time. The
development Of the fast mail service has
been an important factor in the upbuild'
ing Of the West; in this development
the Burlington railroad has played 4
most prominent part.

VIII Rot Vote To-Day

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 6-The Re-
formed Presbyterians, who are known
as Coyenanters, will not vote through
out the country today, becouse they can
not in conscience give allegiance 10 the
Constitution Of the United States.
Several hundred Covenauters live in
this city, and there are about 10000 in
the country at large. Rev. j. o. Me-
Feeters, pastor OF the Second Church,
said: "The Covenanters believe that
civil government is an ordinance OF God
and is to be administered according to
bis revealed will as it is found in the
Bible. In this country the Covenanters
find that the constitution OF governments
makes no. acknowledgment OF God or
his authority or Of tile Lord Jesus Christ
as the Governor OF Nations. The will Of
the people is substituted for the Word
OF God as the supreme law OF the land
we desire and labor for the best inter-
ests Of the nation, but we cannot iden-
tify ourselves with the partakers OF the
wrongs and evils that are sustained by
the Constitution and upheld by the ma.
tIonal authorities"
