But a Rough Country is Ahead?Boers Can Check British North of Kroonstad for Time. Relative Forces. London, May 11, 4:95 a. m.?Members of the hou3e of commons were freely bettiog in the lobbies last evening that Lird Roberts would be in r>?i?:- l a. rr>r._ .treioria iu iwu uiuuiua. xue tutuisfcerialists are building confident hopes upon the comprehensive plans he has communicated to the war office. Predictions are definitely made be will enter K^oonstad next Monday, and it is believed that bis advance is probably alread recoanoitsring the vicinity of Ventersburg, where the bill country begins again. Beyond, Kroonsfcad is an intricate and difli cult country, and if the Boers should elect to fight it is possible they could check the progress of the British until Robert's numerous cavalry bad had time to ride around their flink and threaten their rear. F;om 15,000 to 20.000 is the high est estimate of the Boers under the personal command of Gen. Botha, who is said to have 46 guns. Gen. Botha and Dewet are reported to have quareled. Lord Roberts is pressing hard after this force with 35,000 men aDd 140 gune, and 20,000 more men are RVflilahlp. President Steyn with 10,000 men is reported to have been east of Thuba N'Chu yesterday (Thursday) nooD, and a battle was then imminent. The advance troops of Gen. Brabant were being fired on. According to advices from Durban, dated Thusday, Gee. Buller's army is ''showing activity,'' but a complete news embargo is imposed upon the correspondents with him. Parties of B jers are still holdiug the mountains adjtcent to Springfield. New Zealand scout^ burned the homestead of a farmer named Greyling in whose house arms were found at Deering. Daring a concert for the relief of the sufferers from the Begbie works explosion, giv^n Saturday, at Pretoria, in the Gaiety, the doors were suddenly closed and every man in the audience was commanded. All the horses were taken from the conveyances outside. President Kruger has released The Daily Mail correspondents, Messrs. Hallowell and Hofmeyer. BRITISH ADVANCE RAPIDLY. London, May 10 ?Tbe crossing of the Zand river by the British appears to have been effected sooner than even tbe most sanguine expected, and this morning Lord Roberts' temporary headquarters is established in a cable cart on tbe north bank of the river. Though the opposition the federals are offsriDg shows that yesterday's report ob the abandonment of their position were iil founded, Lord Rjbertb' advance force, consisting of from 10,000 to 12,000 mounted men, besides infantry, artillery and the naval contingent, appears to be sufficiently powerful to overwhelm any opposition tbe burghers cm offer. Even though, as reported yesterday, they have been reen?orced by 3,000 men from other commands and possess a score of heavy guns, the experts believe the opposition will not be prolonged longer than is necessary to remove the guns and other impediments in the direction of Kroons-tad. Further reports from Lorenzo Marques show that tbe customs authoii ties there, in addition to clothing and shoes, refuse to clear corned beef for the Transvaal, holding it is contra band. Lord Roberts' announcement .this evenmg of the flight of the Boers from the Zmd river naturally caused considerable gratification at the war office, where it is now btlieved that he will not allow the federals enough breathing space to reform southward of Kroonstad. It is ju3t possible that Lord R jbertb' transport may be in such condition that be will be able to keep his troops moving so rapidly, as to drive the Boers right through Kroonstad without giving them time to organize resistance in the formidable entrenchments so carefully pre pared at the Yalsch river. Tbe fact that Gen. French and the cavalry have been brought up to supplement - - - jGen. Hvlton's mounted infantry leads I to the hope in British official circles ! that the pursuit announced by Lord Roberta may prevent all the Boer : guns and convoy from escaping. The action of the customa authori- i i ties at Lorenzo Marques in more , closely scrutinizing consignments for 1 the Transvaal is liable to be a serious matter for the Boers and, indirectly , for the British prisoners who are likely to be the first to feel t fleets of * ? # # 1 t /v* any snortage 01 iooa stuns. IN FULL RETP.EAT. London, M*y 10, 10:44 p. m ?The j war cfiLe has received the following j from Lord Robertt: "Cable cart, . j Zand river, May 10,10:30 p.m.?The ' | enemy are in full retreat. They oc- | cjpied a position 20 miles in leng'h. j Ours was necessarily longer. With the widely scattered force it will take : , some time to leatn the casualtiep, but I am hopeful we have not euffued j much.

It is certainly gratifying to the nnhlip tr> Irnntv of nnfi nnnnern in the I r ; land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

How to Fumigate a Ponltry House, j The poultry keeper who white- j washes his henhouse four times a year Deed have no fear of it becom i iog infested with insect vermiD, nor j will it be necessary for him to fumi- i gate it, as there will be no object in doing so, since there will be no in- j sect life to destroy. But the ownei ! of the poultry house that needs I fumigating should set about it in the , following way: Remove all nests, ' perches and everything that is porta ble. Put a pound of eulphur in an j iron pan with some burning coals, in the middle of the house. Then close the doors, windows and all other openings, and let theru remain so for ' two or three hours. Afterward paint the roosts and nest boxes thoroughly with coal tar, and whitewash the j bouse both inside and out with lime. A spraying pump is very useful to get the litnewash into the crevices in the roosts and walls, and it is benefi| cial to add some carbolic acid to the limevrash. Once a house is thoroughBargains!!

Chiccinnati, May 9. National Chairman D. Clem Deaver eallprl the National Convention of the Middleof the-R >ad Populists to order at 1:50 p. m. He introduced Mayor Tafel, who welcomed the delegates to Cincinnati in a brief speech, in which he gave expression to what the delegates were pleased to interpret and applaud as Populist sentiment. Oo the part of the delegates Prof. J. A. Boyse, of Nebraska City, Neb, thanked the mayor. When Chairman Deaver rapped for order there were on the floor of the Opera House 470 men and women occupying delegate seats and 75 people in the galleries. Chairman Deaver delivered his formal address. Nitional Secretary Jno. A. Parker read the call for the Convention. He prefaced the reading with a few rema! ks on the work of the national committee following the dicruption of the Populist forces at L'ncoln, N-.braska, on February 19, last. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, was seized and lifted to the stage, and made a speech of which the following is a specimen: "The traitors are now assembled at Sioux Falls on obsequious servility to the Democratic party. They are parting their coat-taib and inviting the Democrats to kick them and every time they are kicked they thank G )d and take courage." THE PLATFORM. The committee on platform of the Populist Convention at midnight had agreed upon the planks on imperialism, militarism, trusts and the finances. The first deplores the conduct of the Administration "in changing the war cf humanity into the war of con quest, denounces the Philippine policy and the Porto Rican policy, and the increase of the standing army. Sympathy is extended to the Boers and our mediation demanded. Trusts are denounced as the greatest evil of the age. Extended reference is made to the recent gold standard legislation. It is characterized as the eighth financial conspiracy against the interests of the people increasing the hold of the banks upon the masses. The financial plank calls for thereopening of the mints to free coinage of silver and gold at 1G to 1, this increase in volume of silver to be substituted for the bank notes issued by private corporations under special privileges granted by law of March 14, 1890, and prior to national banking laws, the remaining portion of the baDk notes to be replaced with Government paper money. The abuse of the injunction power is also denounced. At to night's session speeches were made by A. G. Barkhard, candidate for Governor of Indiana, and Wharton Barker. There was much wrangling on the report of the com A* 11.15 Ullbiec uu bicurmiaio. uv o'clock the Convention adjourned till 8 a. m. to morrow. Tried Friends Best.
