Though the British seem oertsin to
rssoh Pretoria within a day or so they
ore not likely to occupy it without
fighting. Lord Roberts' forees will be
plsoed to the south, west aod north of
Johannesburg. These units will prob*
sbly bo reoonoentrsted while Gen
Freoeh makes an advaooe.
Pretoria should be reaehed by June
2, opposition or no opposition.
Gen Brabant's loss of 40 men is
striking evidence that tbe annexation of
the Free State by no moans implies its
pacification.
80 thoroughly is tbs country here
imbued with the belief that Pretoria
has fallen that Mr Joseph Chamberlain,
the secretary of etate for the ooloniee,
speaking today at a meeting of the
Uoiversity of Birmingham proposed a
message to tbe queen congratulating
her upon the capture of Johannesburg
aod Pretoria, wbiob was sent to tbe
afternooo newspapers.
The afteroooo oewspapers all ac?
knowledge the prompt friendlioesss of
tho United States consul at Pretoria,
Mr A. 8. Hay, in insisting on the
release of a oumber of British officers
to taks eommaod of tbe British prison?
ers in order to svert a disturbance
among the latter.
Lord Ceoil Manners, son of the Duke
of Rutland and who is aotiog as a
newspaper correspondent, was among
the prisoners oaptored by tbe Boers
during Lord Roberts' sdvanoe May 29.
Loodoo, June 2, 3 45 a m ?Lord
Roberts oootinues sileU regarding Pre?
toria, probably because be eaooot wire
of events from bis own knowledge
Lorenzo Marques, whore all tbs news
from the Boer side is rehsodled, oablos
that communication with Pretoria is
now suspended.
Some messsges by courier have
reaebed Lorenzo Marques, but none of
later date tbao Wednesday. These
assert that tbe burghers are in a state
of paoio and that Pretoria is being
controlled by a vigilance committee
Loreoso Marques again sends a report
that President Kroger has been cap?
tured
Tbe news blank gives rise to a suspi?
cion that a oiticeo oommittee at Pretoria
may not have beeo able to oarry out
their plans for securing the peaceful
eotry of Lord Roberts aod sparing tbe
oity the horrors of a siege.
Tbe peace party appeared to be in
the asoendant; and, as soon as Presi?
dent Kruger snd bis oabioet left Pre
toria to organise a new oapital, tbe
citizens' oommittee persuaded the com?
mandants of tbe forts to withdraw
some of the troops from the defenses,
perhaps witb the view of keeping order
in the town. It looks as though there
was a Boer force betweeo Pretoria and
Johannesburg.
These soldiers trekking baok toward
Pretoria, some of them fresh from tbe
figbt with Gso Hamilton would have
brought a new element into the situa?
tion aod would probably overrule tbe
pease oommittee takiog tbe direction of
affairs out of their bands.
Tbs Boers, aceordiog to a special
dispatoh from Loreoio Maiqoes, have
reeotered the nortbeastero territory of
ths Free State aod are engaged with
tbe British near Petersburg aod Har
bismitb.
It is reported from Amsterdam that
the best rooms at Het Haasje. ooe of
the principal hotels there, have beeo
eogaged for President Kruger's ocou
paoey from June 25.
Gen Buller is moviog slowly against
tbs Boer flanks.
A dispatoh from Vryburg dated May
30 says : "During the occupation of
this place by tbe Boers tbey flogged the
natives for slight offenses. A whip
and several cords knotted aod salted
were found at tbe polioe station. A

reoeived 25 lashes and another who

I Washington, May 29.?Such ad?
vices &s bave reaobed here iodioate that
the situation in China has assumed a
very critical phrase, aod one calculated
to tax the entire resources of the
Chinese government. The stato
department has been in oloso oommuni
oatioo with Mr Conger, our minister at
Pekin, and the navy department is
doing its ehare, having placed the
I flagship Newark as far op the Pie Ho
river as the Takn forts, which is the
nearest poiot to Pekin that tha ship oao

The operations of the "boxers" are
iooreasiog io magnitude. Their de
m?oatrations are no longer local aod
they appear to be governed io their
movements by some well settled design
Tbey bave murdered nice Methodist
missionaries io one province, at the
I towo of Puchow, aod have olosed to
00 Pekio Meanwhile the Chinese
srmy is suspected of disloyalty, this
belief being strengthened by wholesale
desertions of the soldiers to the
"boxers."
I Minister Conger has sppealed to the
1 state departmeot for the proteotioo of
a marioe guard for bis tsgatioo. The
departmeot has promptly oabled him
so authorisation to call upon the near?
est United States naval vessels for as
siatance. It is not koowo yet whether
he has availed himself of the permis
sioo. Tho embarassing feature of the
situation is the cutting of oommu
oioatioo by rail betweeo Taku aod Tieo
Tsio aod the capital, for the "boxers"
bave burned the railroad bridges aod
there are probably only two ooorses
open to marines who wish to resoh

a hostile ooootry away from supports or
a tedious voyage up the swift sod shal
I low Pie-Ho io shore boats io tow of

Aoeordiog to report the Cbioese gov?
ernment has dooe everytbiog io its
power to meet tbe demands of the di?
plomatic body at Pekio for the diaper
sioo of the "boxers," but it appears
that the uprising is far more serious
thao was at first apprehended, and even
the resident ministers at Pekio are
ioclioed to admit that tbe task is not an
easy ooe for tbe Cbioese government
I So far all of the measures taken by

that the besieged Belgians are now
safe at Pekin They found several
thousand "boxers" about tbe ruins
of In Row Chiao and Chang Hein
Tien stations. The bridges have
been damaged and the rolling stock
destroyed At both places the
damage done is considerably greater
than at Fiang Tai. The members of
the rescue party saw several bodies
of Chinese tearing up the sleepers
and in oue case a mandarin was
looking on. They further report
that the commissionariesr and others
escaped from Pao Ting Fu in boats
The imperial railway directory is
endeavoring to fasten the blame for
the damage at Fang Tai on the foreign
employes, practically the British,
whom, they say, should not have left
their posts. Thi3 foreigners, how
over, did not leave until they saw In
Kow Chios station, five miles away,
in flames and an attack had actually
been mado on an engine from Fang

Arrival of Foreign Blue jack?

Washing on, June 1 ?Minister Con?
ger at Pekin reports to the state de
partment today that the arrival of 350
guards for the legations of Russia,
France, Great Britain, Itally, Japan
and the United States has bad the ef
feot of improving the situation. He ,
says that Pekin is much quieter but
that the "boxers" aro still active in the
surrounding oountry.
It is hinted in diplomatic circles here
that the sudden increase of aotivity on
the part of the "boxers'1 is nothing
more than part of a well conceived
plan by one of the great European
powers to secure a permanent trade
lodgement in Pekin and to seize a posi?
tion giving it full control of the great
Pei-Ho river, the approach to the Chi?
nese capital. It is further intimated
that tbe plao has proved abortive,
owing to tbe alertness of tbe other Eu?
ropean powers represented in Chinese
waters, particularly to the readiness of
the United States mioister, Mr Con?
ger, aod tbe American rear Admiral on
board tbe Newark, which at onoe gave
tbe movement an undesired interna?
tional aspect, and so tended to prevent
the partioular nation oonoeroed from
aggrandizing itself at tbe expense of
the interests of tbe other nations.
Tberefp.e, it is assumed, that the ex?
citement will rapidly abate, and tbe
"boxers" will disperse, temporarily at
least.

went into effect Fcb 1. Tbo latter olas
si?oation was made in uniformity with
those made by the roads in trunk line
aod western territory aod by which a
large number of goods were raised from
a lower to a higher grade, thus increas?
ing freight rates considerably over
what they bad been before
At that time protests were entered
against these changes on tbe ground
that they widened tbe differences io
rates already existing in favor of tbe
large shippers as against smaller ones
As a result tbe truok lines isiued an

to some extent tbe oauses of tbe com?

She identified the negro absolutely.
Her father, who is a sturdy and
honest old countryman, wept when
he told of bis daughter's misfortune,
and other witnesses testified about

In our ultilitarian age the German
plan of planting fruit trees for shade
along highways is not likely to be
overlooked In Alsace Lorraine the
wayside orchards, which are turned
out by the State, now yield an n.inual
revenue of 150,000 francs, and Swit?
zerland, Belgium und Luxemburg are
successful borrowers of the idea. In
France the chief shade trees are
the poplar, the ash and the dm,
which on the" national road* are cut
for timoer at the age of about 00
