ST. LOUIS. April I. Ex-Governor Wll
Ham J. Stone, vice chairman of the demo

iiowb of tho burning of Kansas City's con

"1 urn surprised and shocked at this bad

Kansas City I considered one of the finest

that 'tho national commltteo selected that
city' for tho convention. It will bo a great

think, will rlso to tho occasion anil prepare

what will bo dono 1 cannot say where tho

tho disposition of tho national commltteo

peoplo cf Kansas City can finish tho hall
botwtui now and July 1, or proparo a tem

If any city can do so that e.lty can."
"At any rate. I believe tho Kansas City
people should havo a breathing spell of a
day. or two In order to formulate their plans.

committee which has tho convention ar
rangements In chsrgo' to meet at Kausas

meet with thoni. As 1 havo already snld, I
sincerely believe- tho citizens of Kansas City
will make stupendous efforts to rebuild the

Senator Jnncs saya that If the citizens
of Kansas City go at It in tho right way
thero Is no reason why they cannot com

It looks today as though the Doers had

to Invest Lord lloberts at Dlcomfontcln. ,,r'

communication
On his side Lord Roberts is concentrating
his forces and preparing to tako every ad
vantage of the bold but risky tactics of tho
enemy. Ho Is not llktly to strike at any of
their forces until he Is certain of dealing a
crushing blow. -
Tho situation In the nbsence of any of
ficial dispatch from Lord Roberts Is both
mystifying and interesting.
Thero Is little doubt that Lord lloberts Is
hampered for tho necessity of remounts and
tho loss of the guns and Colonel Droad
wood's baggage was a serious matter.
Tho Doers are now acting on what they
bellevo to be their superior mobility.
Tho nnoclal correspondents at the front
are denouncing Lord lloberts' policy of
leniency toward the Free Staters nnd aro
calling for the abandonment of that policy.
A special dispatch announces that Mafe

LONDON, April 4. General Colvlllo and
General French have given up tho movement
against tho Doers east of Dloomfonteln and
hato rejoined 'the main army. It doubtless
seemed to Lord Roberts a vain thing to scud
10,000 to lli.000 of his best troops into the
wilderness, with a Held transport, In the
direction nt a right angle with his chosen
line of advance. The Doers Hiave probably
moved elsowhero nnd If to the southwest
General Colvlllo could as easily strike them
from Illoemfontcln as by following them
jip ncross tho plains. These Inferences still
leave the situation bewlldorlng for tho time
being. Tho enormous superior British
forces appear Inactive In every part of the
war field waiting yet, probably, for tho ac
cumulation of material for a swift ad
vance on the Transvaal frontier.

The State department has exhausted its
resources in the effort to secure the prompt
transmission of money to Its ngento In South

any profitable lino of action.
It Is understood n plait which has re . elved

substitution of tho house plan of territorial
government for the senate plan; n nonconcur-

Sarllt section; a debate In th house prob
ably tinder n rule, and the hUbmlsslon of
tho whole subject to a ronrerenee commit

mentioned.
If this plan were adopted the territorial
question (i ml the differences between the
sonata and house on the tariff would bo

only tentatively considered nnd those lu
