' j t London, May HI.?No message from i ^ President Kruger direct or indirect Iihk { I recently been received bv Lord Salisbury | or by any department of the British government nor, it may bo added, is any communication expected from ] Him dealing with the. question of the , cessation of hostilities by them in ( tho immediate future. The prox- , Imity of peace, according to the gov- j eminent point of view, will remain a | matter of military progress. How boon tho latter may bring about the former is still too suppositions for a sorious fore- , cast on th? part of any government official. Tho consensus of opinion, as gleaned at. the government otlices, is that the Boer .delegates will exhaust every effort in the United Btntcs before President Kruger sues directly, though Lord Hali.tbury himself does not believe that tl* j delegates will accomplish much ii America Official confirmation of the relief of Mafekiug does away with the lingering doubts which existed in the minds of a few people wiio have got into the habit of believing nothing bat war dispatches. General Baden-Powell will be made a major general. Mafekiug was relieved by Colonel T. B. Mahon, who arrived i:i tho Dongola and Nile expeditions with General Kitchener. Ixird Roberts' latest dispatch merely continues his description of the organization of the transport of supplies and the rest for the men that the British in tho Free H.ate and Natal found necessary after tlieir long, quick marches*. A disnatch from Kroonstndt savs n British convoy on its way to Lindley was attacked by the Boers and obliged to halt. The result of the attack is not known, but it is evident that the Boers facing the main British army are on the alert and aggressive. The war office has received the following from Lord Roberts at Kroonstndt: "Btiller reports that his advance will be delayed for a few days 011 account of the way in which the railroad has been destroyed. Bundle reports that Ladybrand has been occupied. Hunter is pushing up the railway with supplies for the Mafeking garrison and is arranging a hosnitnl train for the conveyance of the sick and wounded to Kiuiberley. .MePkuen lias left HoopCstad to co-operate with this force.".

News of Relief Confirmed. Louexzo Makquez, May 11).?Mafeking was relieved Wednesday. London, May 19.?The whole British empire has been carried off its feet by the news of the relief of Mafeking. Tho demonstrations on Ladysmith day pale before the transports of delirium recorded in cablegrams from all parts of tho world, where floats tho union jack. Overstrained feolings have found vent in an expression of heartfelt enthusiasm, wnicn, starting from the various content!, spread like a prairie fire through the United Kingdom and the colonies and converted every community into an aggregation of shouting, cheering, singing, half frnutic, but, for the most part, orderly humanity. The empire is enfete and most of the people in the United Kingdom are taking a holiday in honor of the defenders of the little outjiost. The advanco information of the relief of Mafeking fails to raiso a doubt, as the parliamentary secretary of war, George Wyndham, had in the house of commons announced that no official announcement could be expected for at J least 48 hours after i'ue relief lied been ! effected. However, further unofficial continuation of the report of the relief of the long beleaguered town is received iu a dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez announcing that Mhfekiug had been iNBlioved.

London, May 18.?Thero is a laok of fresh news from South Africa this morning, but details of past operations tend to confirm the view that tho end of tho war is within measurable distance, i From Kroonstadt. comes a story, attrib- | uted to excellent authority, to the effect ! that a peace party is being formed at Pretoria, while reports at Pretoria itself ! indicate discouragement at the recent i reverses und the jjossibility of an early j suing for peace. There is nothing to throw light on j the mystery of Mafeking.

For this Reason Vico Presidency Is Source of Worry. Nf.w Yokk, May 21.?Republican members of congress who were in the uity 1 ist Sunday night said the selection :>f n candidate for vico president to run with President MeKinley was us i?orploxing as ever, and tlmt the matter hud tuken a now phase. Tins is caused by the stuto of tlie president's health. The information that comes from * Washington is thn' while the president's health is not alarming, it is of a character to cause uneasiness among his intimate friends, to whom the facts arc kgown. They will not even breathe a doubt that the president is likely to serve four years more, yet they are satisfied that more than usual care must be taken in providing for the presidential succession. Usually the vice presidency has been thrown as a sop to the defeated faction. This will not bo the ease this year. At a recent conference in Washington it was assumed that Governor Roosevelt was entirely out of consideration and his name was not presented. In explaining this it may be said that there are very large numbers of Republicans in iind out of the state who still believo that the governor will "ba drafted" at Philadelphia. Still at the meeting in Washington other names were considered, among them being those of C. N. Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long. Senator Lodge, Senator Collum of Illinois, Senator Woleott of Colorado and General E. S. Otis. When all was said and done it was agreed that the candidate for vice president who met all political nnd other exegencies had not been discovered. J. C. W. BECKHAM GOVERNOR. United States Supreme Comt Decides In Kuvor of Democrats. Washington, May 21.?The Kentucky governorship case was today decided by the United States supreme Court ill thn internet nf TiocUhimi affirm. ing tho decision ol tlio court of appeals of Kentucky. Tlio opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller and tho case was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Ho said the court should bo tho last to overstep the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction and that the determination of cases of this character, contests for state offices, must necessarily bo seettled by tho political branch of tho government. That branch had acted in the Kentucky caso when the general assembly took jurisdiction. There was 110 apiioal from tho assembly's decision, which was favorable to Goebel and Beckham, except to* the tribunal of the people, which tribunal the chief justice said, was always in session. Ho also said the case was purely a state case?that Kentucky was in tho full possession of its facualties as a member of the Union and that there was 110 emergency at this time calling for interference. The opinion was not unanimous, Justices Brewer, Harlan, Brown and McKenna dissenting. NAIL AND WIRE IN HIS BRAIN. Robinson Resorts to Drastic Measures to Secure Relief. Ocai.a, Fla., May 21.?The queer conduct of Julian Robinson, who recontly shot and killed J. A. Walls and seriously wounded Dr. Blitch here, has been oxplaiued by tho prisoner. At times Robinson would fall upon the floor of his cell and remain in a stui>or for several hours, which was believed to be caused by poison, administered by his sister, who has been sending the prisoner his meals. His condition led to an iirvestigation and the startling discovery was made that the prisoner had driven a G-poiniy nail into his head in an effort to secure relief from a pressure on the brain, tho prisoner stating that a lump had formed 011 his brain which caused him incessant painv The nail not giving the desired relief, Robinson took a wire off tho bedspring, which ho iusertod in the hole and twisted around. Physicians were summoned and tlio wire removed and tho prisoner is resting easily. NEGRO SUFFRAGE THE ISSUE Virginia Election Thursday to Deckle Constitutional Convention. Richmond, May 21.?The people of Virginia will decide in next Thursday's election wliothor or not there shall bo a restriction of negro sufFrago in this gtnto. That is the real issue involved in the question of calling a constitutional oonventiou upon which the people of Virginia are to pass. If the convention is ordered it will adopt au outirely new constitution to supplant the one framed by the Underwood convention just after tho war. Efforts will be made to improve and lessen the cost of state government, but the elimination of tho negro as a factor in politics is tho oyershadowing issue. It is this that led tho Republicans to opposo and the Democrats to ospouso the convention cause. Wheat Crop PromisingFort Worth, May 17.?II. G. Stinnett of Sherman, M. T. Kaufman of Dallas, Frank Becker of Galveston and F. A. McOlellan of this oity, all members of tho Flouring Mill association, have roturned from an inspection of the wheat crop in the Panhandlo.
