    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.

GOLDEN HARVEST HAS BEGUN.
COO , 000 Persons VUited Paris Kxpo > , itioa
During- the Last 1Ve U.
PARIS , June 11. 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.
