Senator^Tti 11 man favored us
with the proof shoots of liis admirable
speech on tho Puerto
Rican bill recently. As citizen
Josh Ashley would say, he is
"agin" the bill.
President McKinley has given
committee to understand
that he probably will accept
their invitation to visit Charleston
while the national Educational
Association will be there
in.July.
The United StA^s Senate has
agreed to vote on .die much discussed
Puerto Rican tariff bill
next Tuesday. This bill has
engagedr-the attention of conress
for Jhbout a month and a

Henderson in a recent
letter says the "Senate has its
share of cowards" and it "is always
the body upon winch the
great interests Concent rate their
efforts to defeat proper legislation".
Of course he is in favor
of the bill. % W'V*

A Summary ot War News.
London, March 28.?T h e
British high commissioner, Sii
Alfred Miluer, arrived at Bloeinfontein?Iast
night and - was met
by Lord Roberts and his staff.
According 'to a dispatcl\ from
Bloemfontein, published in tlu
second edition of The-Times, the
high commissioner's visit is ol
a private nature It is though!
this can scarcely be anything
but an official subterfuge, tin
question of the pacification ol
the Free State and the treat
.ment of the insurgents doubtless
being discussed between Lore
jjKoberts and Sir Alfred Milner
\According to the same dis
patch Gen. French, previous t<
returning to Bloemfontein, oc
cupiod*the flour mills near Bat
ter, Which are considered ar
important acquisition.
Reports from Rouxville ant
other towns say the surrendei
of arms to the British continue:
satisfactorily.
Gen. Clement's column en
fcercd Fauremith on Tuesday
March 27, having previously
occupied Jogorsfontein. Magis
tratos were iippointed, the proclamation
was read, bands ol
music met th& troops ami flag*
were flown. The scenes resembled
the American occupation oi
Phrto Rican towns.
Among the spectators ol
Faujresmith was President
Steyn's daughter. Heavy rains
made Gen. Clement's march
hard and are causing sickness
among the troops.
A dispatch from Maseru,
Basutoland, dated Tuesday,
March 27, says that apparently
reliable reports that the Boers
are entering Ladybrand cause
the presumption that the British
troops have crossed the line of
the Boer retreat towards
Kroonstandt, and that a fight
or surrender near Ladybrand i>
imminent. As Moseru dispatches
are not distinguished
for their accuracy, and as the
British fnrr??? t ...1 ..1....... a
?w. vx. ?' ill I i(HI \ M (I I 1 U ,
under Col. Pilcher, is quite
small, nothing very definite
seems JikeJy to result from the
operations.
Further advices from Marking,
dated March 1 t>;*eitorate
that all was well there1 and that
the cordon was not so tightly
drawn, the Boers allowing na
tives to pass through their lines,
which they had previously forbidden.
The native refugees ar<
reported to he too stupid and
laxy to work takecover from the
shells. They gatl^er in crowds

pointed out, had in the field tho
largest army ever sent across
the setts in the history of the
world and composed of the finest
men he had ever seen in any
camp. This satisfactory sit tuition,
he continued, was primarily
due to tho wonderful army
system inaugurated hy I^ord
Cardwell, hut for which it would
have l>een impossible for Great
Britain to carry on tho South
African war, as had it not been
7" * ? ?'
for the militia reserves Great
Britain would have been in -1
) very bad way. *Continuing,
Lord Wolseley
said nearly 000 officers and 31
. battallions of militia had beer
landed in South Afrifa since tin
, war, that 27,000 militia liar
, passed into the regulars sinei
