Meeting Between Generals Bullor and Christian at Laing's Nek , BRIRSH HAVE EVACUATED UTRECHT Ocnornl Uotliu , Commanding the IJocrs , Withdrew From Pretoria In Good Order TVlth View of Joining 1'renldeiit Kruger Transvaal Forces Still Intuct. LONDON , June 7. A special dis patch from Lourenzo Marquez , dated Tuesflay , June 5 , says : "Generals Buller and Christian Dotb met at Laing's NeK at Buller's request , when a three days' armistice was agreed upon. " 'Hie dispatch add.i that the British have evacuated Utrecht. Until the sltuattion in the neighnor- hood of Pretoria is or tightened the of ficials here , as well aa others , will find difficulty In prognosticating Lord Rob erts' immediate program. It appears evident that the Boer commander-In-chief , General Botha , with al hisguna , withdrew In good order , probably along the Delagoa Bay railroad , with me view of joining President Kruger. So the Transvaal forces remain practically Intact , with Presidents Kruger and Steyn and Gen eral Botha and Secretary of State Keitz all safe and in a position to continue the direction of affairs. The more optimistic see In the fact that President Kruger's wife and General Botha's wife wore left at Pretoria an indication that the president does not count on a long resistance. In any case , it will probably take Lord Rob erts at least a week to organize a campaign of pursuit. The mlltary authorities anticipate that the next important news will come from General Buller's direction ; plenty of time has elapsed to complete the turning movement at Laing's Nek.

Mind Become * Unlmlanccd Over Illness of IVIfe. TECUMSBH , Neb. , June 9. Clinton Gillespie of Teeumseh has disappeared and he cannot be located anywhere , and Mrs. Gillespie. his wife , died Wed nesday afternoon. The circumstances are very Interesting. Mr. Gillespie , a young man , was employed with a sec tion gang on the railroad. Recently his wife was taken sick , and the young husband was in the habit of working all day and sitting up half of the night with the sick woman. The neigh bors say that he was especially de voted and attentive. His wife's illness seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind , and friends of the family and Section Foreman Davey say he hat ! acted rather queer of late. Tuesday night he came home from his work as usual , but instead of offering to stay with Mrs. Gillespie after supper , changed his clothes and taking his razor gave it a good honing , put It in his pocket , took some papers out of his trunk and attempted to burn them , and without a word to anyone left the house and has not been seen since. The papers that he attempted to burn wore his marriage certificate and some letters of recommendation from for mer employers. Sheriff Strong at once instituted' search for ftie man , but up to this time has not been able to find any clue of his whereabouts. In all probability he is mentally unbal anced. Mrs. Gillespie was very- much surprised at the strange actions of her erstwhile very much devoted husband. She died this afternoon , her last de sire being that she might be able to see him once more before death. Proposition to Complete IMtcu. GERING , Neb. , June 9. The parties who have had in hand the construction of the Farmers' canal on the north side of the river in Scotts Bluff and Cheyenne counties have made a propo sition to the directors of the Gering Irrigation district looking to the com pletion of the work on the latter pro ject. While the work of building the Gering ditch is perhaps two-thirds done , yet the work remaining incom- pleted is of a character that seems to be beyond the reach of the inhabi tants of the territory to be watered , as it will require the expenditure of large sums of money from now on. T. C. Henry , the well known Colorado constructor , is the principal one of the syndicate which proposes to do the work and incidental to their proposi tion to build the canal they want a certain amount of land , which they propose to colonize with farmers at once. It is stilted that they have never failed to carry through a project heretofore and their offer will no doubt be accepted. Thieve * Caught In u. Boat. BROWNVILLE , Neb. , June 9.

The golden harvest of the exposition has at last beguii. Twice this week the ntimoor of visitors exceeded half a million , which sur passes the figures of the 1380 exposi tion at a similar period. It is esti mated that over 8,000,000 persons ha\i- now passed tha turnstiles. The great est difficulty is now experlpncpc In getting - ting from the grounds at night , street cars and omnibus fat-illties utterly inadequate to cope with the im mense crowds , and the ragmen arc having high times , demanding and getting - ting fancy prices for short trips homo. It is nothing unusual for them to ask ? 2 for a trip for which tire legal rare is 30 cents. The electrical arrangements at thf Chateau D'Eau have been repaired ami the illuminations during the evening are now very brilliant and effective. The- American pavilion was closed Tor four days this week for tne unprovr- ment of its internal decoration. A large piece of statuary representing three wild bronchos forms a vpry striking centerpiece , and about it are palms and flowers and a circular sofa. The walls have been repainted a softer- color , relieving the former glare of white , and a number of paintings have been hung. Further improvements are contemplated. Piratcx .Mmiidoii I.-uuu-li.
