"Hunter reports that Barton's brig

leaving a number of dead on the field.
The British casualties wore slight.
General Barton Is still pursuing.
Wlndsorton and Klipdam have been
evacuated.
General Pagct's brigade is attacking
the Boor position at Warrenton.
The engagement yesterday was se
vere and lasted from 9 in the morning
until ! in the afternoon. More than
once the British Infantry were obliged
to engage the Boers at close quarters
and the Boers only retired when their
ictrcat was nearly cut off. The Brit
ish losses wore five killed and twenty-
five wounded mostly Welsh Fusllcers.
The British took a batch of prisoners' ,
Including the Swedish ambulance ,
which they allowed to return. The
Boors , in their hurried retreat , left
thirteen d ad.
Today General Pagot made a strong
demonstration against the Boor posi
tion cast of the bridge , thereby pre
venting Boor reinforcements going to
assist in checking General Barton's
advance.

CONGRESS AT ROUTINE WORK
Nothing of .Special IntcrciU In Promised
for the C'liinliiK W'oi'lc.
WASHINGTON , May 7. Routine
bubiness probably will occupy the
gi eater part of the somite's attention
during the present week. The reso
lution offered by Teller , expressing
sympathy for tbe Doors and a deslro
Hint the government extend to both
Great Britain and the South African
ii-publlcs its friendly ofllccs in bring
ing the present war to a close will bo
called up tomorrow. It Is the Intention
of the Colorado senator to press his
resolution to an early vote. It prob
ably will be referred to the committee
on foreign relations , but Teller will
Insist that It be reported in some form
at an caily date.
Hale , either tomorrow or Tuesday ,
will bring forwuid the m.val appropri
ation bill and very likely the greater
part of the week will be devoted to its
dlucusslon. With the latitude of dc-
Imte allowed under the senate rules , it
Is finite probable that senators will
discuss the Uoor resolution , the Phil
ippine question and other matters re
lating to the foreign i.ffalni of the gov
ernment while the naval bill is under
consideration.
_ On Thursday the Montana senatorial
cjifee will be called up , but it will not
be allowed to interfere with the con
sideration of the appropriation bills.
It Is the undoubted purpose of the scn-
f.to leadens to bring about an adjourn
ment early In June , the first week if
possible , and unless the unexpected
should happen , nothing will be per
mitted to delay adjournment beyond
tl/c middle of June.
The attention of the house this week
will be occupied with various miscel
laneous business , except such time as
may bo devoted to the consideration
of conference reports on appropriation
bills , which will be given tbe right of
way. The desire for an adjournment
early In June makes It absolutely
necessary to expedite the supply bills.
The most important piece of general -
oral legislation to bo acted upon dur
ing the week will bo the amended sen
ate bill to amend the general pension
h'ws. This IB known as the next Grand
Army of the Republic bill. The princi
pal clmngesi-lt purposes" to make in ex
isting laws are provisions for aggrc-
gt'ttaK disabilities and equalizing rat
ings and to increase the limit of In
come of widows pensionable under the
act of 1890 to $250. This bill will be
placed upon Its passage tomorrow un
der suspension of the rules. The bill
appropriating $1,000 for the militia of
the several states also may be called
up under suspension df the rules.
Tuesday , under an order made on
Friday , will be given to the committee
on claims nnd Friday the war claims.
It Is not Improbable that the contested
election cnse of Pearson against Craw
ford , from the Ninth North Carolina
district , may be called up Wednesday
or Thursday.
SUCCESS FOR THE NATIONALISTS
Victory for the I'uity In tlio I'rciich Mu

PARIS , May 7. Although It was
fully recognized tlint the nationalists
intended to make a determined fight in
nil the wards of Paris on the occasion
ot tlio municipal elections licit ! ycster-
tiny throughout Franco It was never
seriously contemplated that their ef
forts would be crowned with such suc
cess as is shown by tlio results , which
must be recognized 1.3 dealing a seri
ous blow to the republicans and radi
cals.
cals.Tho
The results show fifty definite elec
tions in Paris. In thirty wards second
ballots will bo necessary. The nation
alists have gained eight seats , five
fiom the republicans and three from
the" radicals. The successful candidates
Include MM. Gaston-Meiy , Galll , Le-
pclletler and Barretler.
The republicans have secured eight
seals , including seven members of the
old council. The radicals and radical
socialists ten and the conservatives
eight.
In waids where second ballots are
necessary the nationalists obtained
the most votes in eleven cases , but the
total votes polled by their competitors
was higher than the number obtained
by them.
To Study Anu-rlciiii Mc-llnnlx.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 7. R. Kon-
do , president of the Nippon Yuscn
Kalslm , one of the leading steamship
companies of Japan , has come to this
country to make a study of the meth
ods of transportation by rail and water
lines. Ho wll visit the Pacific coast
centers and then go east to Now York.
"The building up of trade on the
Pacific coast from 1893 to 1898 Justifies
the prediction , " he said , "that the
progress of development during the
next few yearn will bo greater than
over before. We favor an. open-door
policy nnd I believe that if wo can
make a commercial compact with the
United States we can control the trade
of China. Wo need capital for the
development of our manufacturing
industries. It wo can get it from Amer
ica wo can do the rest and make largo
profits for both countries. Personally ,
I do not believe that there Is any dan
ger of war with Russia. "

LONDON , May 5. Tlio War office is
sued the following from Lord Roberts ,
dated Brandfort , Friday , May 4 :
"The mounted Infantry has gone on
to the Vet river. Tlio rest of tlio
force will march there tomorrow. The'
railway has been repaired to this
point.
"Hunter reports very satisfactory
news that the passage of the Vnnl has
been carried at Wlndsorton without
opposition. "
Lord Roberts reports to the War of
fice as follows , under date of Bloom-
fontcin , May 3 : "We occupied Brand-
fort today without much opposition
and without , I hope , many casualties.
The First brigade of mounted Infan
try covered the left flank of the Four
teenth brigade of the Seventh division
and the right flank was supported
by tlio Fifteenth brigade. Pole-
Carow's division advanced directly on
Brandfort. The Boor army , which
was under command of Delarey , re
tired in a northeasterly direction. "
Tlio mounted Infantry , with Lord
Roberts , among which are the Cana
dians , has picketed its horses on the
banks of the Vet river , eighteen miles
north oP Brandfort. The head of
Lord Roberts' column has advanced
thus , In two days , fifty-two miles north
of Bloemfontcin.
Little power was spent. The Brit
ish work was hard n\arching , ( the
Boers retiring out of reach of the
British shells. The correspondents
supplement Lord Roberts' plain state
ment with a few details.
As General Hulton , with the first
mounted infantry brigade , drew near
Brandfort ho caw a khaki-clad body
of troops ahead of him. He was sur
prised , but thought they must be
British. Soon , however , thcv opened
fire on the Biitish , who replied heav
ily. 'I hey were the Irish-American
brigade from Lourenzo Martinez , and
it is reported that the Irish lost se
verely. .
The Boer flag was flying over Brand-
fort as the British entered the town.
Several British wounded were found
In the hospital. The Boer postmaster
gave up the kcvs of the public build
ing to Captain Ross.
Lord Kitchener arrived at Brand-
fort at noon and Lord Roberts at dusk.
General French's cavalry is sweeping
the country northward. The expecta
tion is the infantry advance will be
continued toward Kroonslad immedi
ately. Although no prisoners were
taken and no hot pursuit Asas under
taken , the news has cheered London.
Nevertheless it has not been received
with the fine rapture that attended
Lord Roberts' first successes.
General Hunter's crossing the Vaal
at Windsorton brings tlio relief of
Mafeking , 195 miles beyond , almost
within a calculable interval. It Is
now regarded : > .svquito possible that
Mafeking may be succouletl before the
queen's birthday.
The Boer army , v/hich wan at
Brandfort , commanded by Crneral De-
laroy , is presumably miring on Win
burg , which will possibly bo the next
Immediate objective of the British !
Brandfort , thirty-five miles nearer the
Transvaal capital , is .iow Lord Rob
erts' headquarters.

WASHINGTON , May 5. At the

though the treaty under -which Ha

provided that the United States should

"If we are at war with the British
it Is not because we wish or ever did

all our concessions had been rejected
and that nothing we could offer would
prevent them from seizing our terri
tory.
"Since then your prime minister has
declared that you want no territory
and your colonial secretary told Par
liament that no Intended , in his Sep

of our conditions.
"If these speeches had been made In
September Instead of October and No

lated an ultimatum. Therefore wo
come , in the light of these belated
assurances , to see if the war can be
stopped. That is the object of our

NEW YORK , May 5. Joseph H.
Manley of Maine was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel today and had talks
with several local politicians concern
ing the seating arrangements of the
Philadelphia convention. Some of
the local leaders who talked with
Manley said that It had been prac
tically settled by the national repub
lican managers that Senator Wolcott
of Colorado will be temporary chair
man and Senator Lodge permanent
chairman.
It had been settled that Senator
Foraker of Ohio should make the
spcecn rcnominatlng McKInley. Han-
na's plan , it was further stated , waste
to bring Governor Roosevelt forward
to second the nomination , but the
governor had not yet consented to
make the seconding speech. He will
see President McKlnley tomorrow , it
was said , and this part of the pro
gram will be then settled definitely.
FURNACES MUST BE REBUILT.
Strikers I > ivvo Tons of Copper to Cool In
Them.
NEW YORK , May 5. The situation
at the Oxford Cooper works , at Con
stable Hook , Is unchanged. The strik
ers gathered at the works at an early
hour today and seemed to be in an
ugly mood , L'lt the presence of the
police and the deputy sheriffs pre
vented any outbreak. There are fif
teen policemen and about sixty depu
ties on duty at the works. The strik
ers number about 500. The men were
all discharged yesterday when they
were paid off , but it is stated that they
will make another effort to induce the
company to make concessions to
them.
The copper works will probably not
start up again for several weeks.
When the men suddenly quit work
there were 350 tons of copper In the
furnaces. This was not run off and Is
cold in the furnaces , which will have
to be taken apart and then rebuilt.
The loss caused by the stoppage of
work is placed at $35,000.

PARIS , March 5 Cardinal Richard ,
the archbishop of Paris , today per
formed the ceremony of the dedica
tion of the chapel in the Rue Jean
Goujon , til ected to the memory of
the charity bazaar victims by Count
and Countess Castellane. The monument
ment Is architecturally a fine piece of
work and its sculptural decorations
are singularly appropriate to the role
of : i commemorative chapel. A colos-
pal statue of the Mater Dolorosa , with
face upturned and arms outstretching
toward heaven , stands on a marble
and bronze altar. The edifice was
hung with sable trappings for today's
ceremony. Owing to the size of the
chapel only two representatives of each
family which suffered by the disaster
were invited. The dedication cere
mony consisted of a low requiem mass.
There was no singing. The cardinal
recited the profundis and finally
blessed the chapel.
