REPULSED THE BOERS.
Heavy Fighting All Day March 81 on
Harris River.

London. April 4.-There was severe
fighting all day long, March 81, in the
neighborhood of Harris river, in the
southwestern extremity of the Trans
vaaI. between part of Gen. Kitchener's
force and the forces of Generals De-
larey and Kemp, resulting in the re-
pulse of the Beers after heavy losses
on both sides. The Canadian Rifles
especially distinguished themselves, one
party commanded by Lieut.. Bruce Car
ruthers holding it's post till every man
was killed or wounded.
Lord Kitchener's official report, dated
from Pretoria, yesterday evening, says:
Gen. Kitchener, (Lord Kitchener'S
brother) sent Colonies Kerr and Cook
son from Vriekull, Western Transvaal,
March 81, to reconnoiter towards Harris
river. They soon struck the track of
guns and carried on a running fight
for eight miles. following the track
through the bush. Emerging on a
plain, large Boer reinforcements adj
vanced against their TANKS, forcing
British troops to take up defencible
position, which they hastily entrench-
ed
Fighting ensued at close quarters
till the Beers We're repulSed on all
sides. Delarey, Kemp and other lead
ers vainly attempted to persuade their
men to renew the action. Fifteen hum
dred Beers participated in the engage
ment; but they had suffered too heavi-
ly, and cleared away to the northwest
and south. The British losses were
also severe. The Canadian Rifles es-
pecially distinguished themselves, one
party commanded by Lieut.. Bruce
Carruthers, holding it's post till every
man was killed or wounded. Others of
the forces showed great steadiness, al
lowing the Beers to advance whiting
200 yards of them and repelling them
with a steady rifle fire."

SHERIFF eUDEN SCORES. :
Dixie Will Be Jailed If He lnterferes
Further With Office.

New York, April Argument was
heard before Justice Gaynor in the su-
preme court, Brooklyn, today, on the
return of an order obtained directing
Norman s. Dixie to show cause why
that part of the order in. the Guden
case granting a stay Of the commit
ment of Dixie to Jail for failure to de-
liver the books and papers of the sher-
IFS office to Guden should not be va
Gated. 1t was also alleged that Dixie
was in contempt of court for having
refused to admit to the county Jail
prisoner taken there by Guden.
At the conclusion of the argument
Justice Gaynor said he was Sorry that
there had been any friction: Mr.. GU
den, he said, was sheriff, and although
MIR. Dixie had obtained a certificate of
appointment, judicial decision had
rendered this void and Dixie had no
right to act. In conclusion Justice
Gaynor said:
Il should very much regret to vacate
this stay, but if Mr.. Guden is further
prevented in any way from properly
exercising>th functions of his office,
shall do so at once"

ALL FAVORABLE.
Bradstreets' Report So Sizes
Up Business Conditions.
Winter Wheat Crop Good--An Ad-
vance Noted in Cotton.
Canadian Indications Point to Early
Spring and Good Business.

New York, April 4.-Bradstreets, to-
morrow, will say: The great underly-
ing features of trade and industry re-
main as favorable as heretofore. job
bling distribution is naturally less ac-
tive than earlier in the season, but is
still of liberal volume. Practically
unanimously good reports come from
the winter wheat crop, which has i'm
proved instead of deteriorating from
its autumn promise. Especially good
reports come from the central West
and the Southwest.
High water in the Mississippi valley
has checked trade and the movement
of cotton, in this respect, acting a
stimulus to the price to that staple
which has also been favorably affected
by the improved outlook in the New
England mills, where increases in
wages have been conceded at many
points. The number of mill hands
profiting thereby is placed at $4,000.
About the usual spring interest in the
leadlns industries is noted, but the
only important strike is that Of the
soft coal miners in Pennsylvania.
Special promise of activity is held out,
this year, in the building trades.
Price changes for the week are I'M
important, cotton figuring most large
ly in the matter of advances, partly
because of light receipts caused by bad
weather and the continued heavy ex-
ports. Shipments are 100000 bales
ahead of last year. The crop in sight
is now 100000 bales, so that the mini
mum estimates have been definitely re-
tired. Hog products, though helped by
light receipts of hogs on some days,
are rather easier, lard being lower on
the week
Business failures for the week num-
Der 176, as compared with 1873, last
week, 1SS in this week, last year.
Bank clearings for the week ending
with April aggregate s1,963, 735,42S,
a decrease of per cent from last
weeks total and Il decline of % per
cent. from Il year ago.
No signs of weakness are to be found
in iron and steel. Bradstreets' COM
pilation of hog and beef prices points
to the highest prices reached at this
season of the year for more than 10
years past.

PREPARING TO STRIKE.
Rhode Island Mule Sninners Expect to
Go Out, Monday.

Providence, r. L., April 4.-Thc dis
satisfaction among the mule spinners
employed in the cotton yarn and thread
mills in this state has now approached
the point where a strike seems immi-
nent. Unless the manufacturers post
notices by tomorrow noon announcing
their intention to increase wages 10 per
cent. coincident with the general ad
vance in all cloth mills, strike of 500
nule spinners, affecting more than
5000 operatives. will probably result.
The Rhode Island mule spnners,
March 20, made q demand on the cloth
manufacturers for an increase of wages
approXimating 10 per cent. The man
ufacturers were given until March q
to make reply. Demands at this time
were also made upon the yarn and
thread manufacturers for a like in
crease. At a meeting of the associa-
ton, March q, no definite replies had
been made and an extension of time
was given until March 30.
Notice was given to the yarn and
thread manufacturers. March 80, that
the demands must be granted by 5
o'clock, Saturday, April 5, the increase
to take effect on and after April Z. The
members of the Rhode Island Mule
Spinners Association will hold meet
ing in Pawtucket, timorrow afternoon,
and definite action will then be taken.
A demand has also been made on the
Lawton Spinning Co. of WoonsOcket,
for a general increase in wages to take
effect, April Z.
None of the yarn or thread manu-
facturers have as yet made any reply.
The mule spinners say they do not ex-
pect to receive any answers and act
ing on this superstition preparations
are on foot for a strike to begin, Mon
day.
