The mysterious movements of troops at Bloemfontein is proceeding. News paper correspondents are not allowed tk telegraph their destinations, and the presumption is that Roberts i? making a aisposuion to cut on raias or roer forces when they withdraw northward from the pursuing British, columns. The reappearance of the Boers in the occupied country has caused a reviv al of warlike feeling among the jree Staters. Federal agents are busy get ting details of surrendered Boers, ana, owing to British garrisons withdraw ing, the British residents are uneasy and have sent delegates to Springfon tein to ask help.. They were told that steps for their defense would 'be im mediately taken.- The Boers are reported to have ven tured south of Biggarsberg and to be posting heavy guns for miles north c Elandslaagte.

BOERS MOVING SOUTH. London, April 11. The Times corre spondent at Bloemfontein, in a de spatch dated Monday, says that a con siderable force of the 'enemy tfith guns are known to have gone sourj-towards Smithfield and Roxvllle. " " ' Small parties detached, along the line have come in contact with the British observation posts. There have been no open hostilities but a general attempt on the part of the Boers to findu stra tegic opening. The Boer force, which has been aug mented by burghers, may now number from 3,000 to 6,000. It is difficult to es timate their strength, as they are making all the movements into the eastern division; with the utmost cau tion upon a regularly patrolled line of communication. General Methuen, according to an of ficial Pretoria telegram', is moving, in the direction of Hoopstad. RUMORS AT MAFEKING. Another Buluwayo story is that 5,000 British troops and six batteries of ar tillery are marching through Rhodesia to Maf eking.

Browri?Ag siERT," FOR RACINE HOS iBEisid 'Street' N C the late Representative. Richard Parka Bland, of Missouri, were called up by Cockrell, of Missouri, and eulogies upon the dead, statesman were- pro nounced by senators. At the opening' session of the 'house today Mr. Payne, of New York, ohair-rj man or the ways and means commit tee, reported back the Porto Rico tar iff bill with a recommendation that the senate amendments be concurred! in. It was ordered printed and placed, on the calendar. A senate resolution was- (adopted Which orders the printing of a special edition of the year's book of the de partment of agriculture for distribu tion at the, Paris exposition, Mr. Powers, of Vermont, called up the bill to create) a commission Jto make settlement with the aioux City and Pacific railroad of its indebtedness to the United ' States. Mr. Shaffrotih, of Colorado, offered' an amendment which was accepted, efilargimg the powers of the commission to receive propositions from any corporation, to sell or assign the government lien or do any and all things necessary to se cure the 'best settlement for the gov ernment. The bill was passed. The senate amendments to the In dian appropriation bill were non-concurred in, and Sherman, Curtisc and Little appointed conferees. There will be no action on the Pana ma canal bill this session, althoue-h Representative Hepburn, who has charge of the subject in the house, is still determined to calKit up and in sist upon a vote. The senators do not consider it advisable to appropriate money for the construction of a canal as long as there is doubt as to the va lidity of the Clayton-Bulwer conven tion, and it is impossible to secure a decision on that subject, because neithj er the treaty recently concluded by Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefot'e nor the amendments proposed by the senate committee on foreign relations can command the two-'thirds vote nec essary for ratification. The democrats are playing politics with the view of emphasizing the differences on the re publican side. They will vote either way on every question as they see they can make the most mischief in the re publican party. The republican steering committee of the senate has held several conferences and has reached some important con clusions. Its 'lias determined so shape thV business that congress can adjourn, the first or second week in June. This is in accordance with the views of the , administration, made known 'to the republican leaders the past week.

Informal consul tations at the white house have result ed in agreement on the early adjourn ment . HORNER DEFEATS TRINITY. Both Teams Played Good Ball Yester day at Durham. Special to the Gazette.
