Men Remain at Posts Rather Than Work Up an Appetite. "CHEERFULLY ENDURING HARD SHIPS TODAY RATHER THAN MAKE SURRENDER POS SIBLE TOMORROW." London, March 8. The actual extent of Lord Roberts' victory yesterday is not clear, but the informed appear sat isfied that it brings peace possibilities. Experts anticipate that the burghers will make no further stand west of the Free State capital, and some of them even deduce from the fact that the Boer forces are divided and have re treated in different directions that de moralization has set in and that the Transvaal forces will next be found carefully entrenched in positions north of the Vaal river, while the bulk of the Free Staters will abandon the contest and sue for peace. Elsewhere news indicates that condi tions continue hopeful from the f ritisb point of view, the telegram from Mafe king alone showing any despondency. OCCUPY BURGHERS DORP. A special from Molteno says the British occupied Burgheredorp unop posed last night. Lord Roberts telegraphs that he has captured a Krupp gun and a number of tents and wagons. The general also announces that General Clements has occupied Norvals pont. Following is the text of Lord Roberts' dispatch: "Poplar Grove. Two brigades of cav alry, with horse artillery and Kelly Kenny's division, marched today 10 miles eastward. The Boers were quite taken by surprise yesterday. They moved off so hurriedly that they left their cooked dinners behind. We cap tured a Krupp gun and several tents and wagons. "Total casualties were: Killed, Lieutenants Keswick and Friesly; wounded, Lieutenants Banley of the Twelfth Lancers and Descripigney of the Second Life Guard, both severely, and Lieutenant Smith of the Shrop shires. Two men killed, 46 wounded and one man missing. , "Gatacre reports that he intends oc cupying Burghersdorf today. "Repairs to the railroad towards both Stormberg and Steynsberg are being pushed. "Clements now occupies Norvals pont on the south bank of Orange riv er. Th bridge was blown up March and the enemy is holding the north bank of the river but not, it is believed, in any great strength." A DARK PICTURE. Mafeking, Feb Ai. What may be ty phoid malaria has broken out in the women's laager and dysentery due to the absence of vegetables is rife. Such luxuries as we had are exhausted or been commandered from the hospitals, which are filled to overflowing. The children's graveyard, close to the wo men's laager, grows weekly. The cheerfulness which was charac teristic in the early days of the siege has almost deserted us, the men prefer ring to remain at their posts rather than move about and work up an ap petite which cannot be satisfied. The natives are in the worst plight. Those who are unable to obtain work are al lowed a small handful of meat daily. From advanced posts the Boers rake the streets and market .square. It is impossible to dodge the bullets. We have taken remarkable precaution, however, and casualties, though heavy. L are not what they might have been had less a Die men neen at me neau oi affairs. In headquarters the mess fares scantily. 292 DEAD. Two hundred and ninety-two persons have been killed, wounded or died of disease. The garrison is so small it would be criminal to make its weak ness public, but there is never so much as a whisper. If any one suggested the possibility of surrender, it is because we do not mean to get beaten, and we are cheerfully enduring heardships to day rather than make surrender in any degree possible tomorrow. WHITE'S THANKS. Ottawa, Ont., March 8. General Sir George White has cabled the governor general as follows: "Ladysmith. I thank your excellency, and, through you, Canada, for congratulations in the name of self and Ladysmith garrison. (Signed.) General White." SMASHED THE DOOR. Bordeaux, March 8. Late yesterday evening a number of students and oth ers issuing from a pro-Boer meeting, marched to the British Consulate, bat tered down the door. shattered the windows with stones and then proceed ed to the consul's private residence, where they indulged in similar demon strations. . . ' " The police dispersed the mob and ar rested several leaders. The prefect of Olronde, the mayor of Bordeaux and the commissary of police called on tne consul today and expressed regret at the- occurrences. THEATER FRANCAIS BURNED, It Occupied the Highest Rank Among French Theaters, Paris, March 8. The famous Thea ter Francals was destroyed by fire to day. The Theater Francals or Comedie Francals occupied the highest rank among the theaters of France. It was built in 1782, but was much altered- in later years. The vestibule and foyer were filled with works of art and the theater was maintained by the govern ment. -. . A rehearsal of the comedy billed for today's matinee was held this morning and had Just concluded when the fire broke out. Two actresses. Mmee. Dud lay and Henriet, barely had time to es cape. Mme. Dudlay had to be rescued in costume and let down from a win dow. Sardou. the playwright, arrived while the Ore was St. lm height. Realising that the building was doomed, he burst into tears. . - Had the fire occurred one hour later there would nave been frightful loss of life, as the matinee was always well at tended. . - SOUTHERN EXPRESS.

C AN TW ELL'S DIMINUTIVE PASSENGER, TRAVELING" FROM MONTANA TO WINSTON. "Inez Slocum has completed, alone, a trip of nearly 4000 miles by rail from Butte Mont., to Winston-Salem. N. C," says the Knoxville Journal and Trib une. "That she came through that en tire distance without a scratch and was given the best of attention is a tribute to the watchfulness and fatherly care of the American railway conductor. "When Conductor Fred Cantwell. who runs on the Salisbury passenger, went through his train on Monday to collect fares from his passengers, he struck the most diminutive passenger it had ever been his good fortune to see and he has been running for many long years. "That passenger was a little girl, who lisped to his query, that she was six years old. When he asked her for her ticket she gave it to him and he was surprised to note from it that the little girl had traveled continuously six days and nights, coming- from Butte, Mont., where her ticket was 'stamped and be ing bound for Winston-Salem. N. C. "The child was bright and intelligent and wore neat but plain clothing. With her she had a pasteboard box, in which men's shirja are shipped, and in that box she had two or three complete changes of clothing:. Sewed to the band of her skirt was a Uttle bagr tied with strings and in it was a note that per haps many conductors had read. The note, written in Butte, merely gave the name of the little miss and stated that J6.50 had been placed In the little bag to pay for her food from the time she started on her journey from the Pacific coast until she reached her des tination. It further requested all con ductors to see that she was provided with food. "Conductor Cantwell read the note and then. Just for amusement, counted her money.for the little bag seemed to contain much more than the original $6.50. When he had completed the task he found that she had exactly $27.30, showing that her trip had been a prof itable one to say the least. "A lady passenger, who became in terested in the little tourist.took charge of her and after giving her as good a wash as the toilet room of the train afforded, changed her clothing from head to heel. "When Barber Junction, which is 12 miles west of Salisbury, was reached, the little girl was turned over to the Winston-Salem man by Conductor Cantwell and she would then soon com plete the remaining small fraction of her journey across the continent. "That this little girl made such a trip alone is surely the highest compliment that could be be ftowed upon that much worried, kind-hearted and generous of ficial the American railway conductor. "Why she was making such a trip no one could tell. All shecould say was that 'papa was at home, mamma gone,' or 'dawn,' as she pronounced it. She perhaps meant by that expression that her mother was dead." SAYS CASE WASN'T BUBONIC PLAGUE CHINESE CONSUL GENERAL PRO TESTS AGAINST THE QUARAN TINE OF CHINATOWN. San Francisco, March 8 The Chinese consul general here has issued a proc lamation, which is endorsed by the Chinese Six Companies, protesting against the action of the board of health in quarantining Chinatown be cause of the discovery of a suspected case of bubonic plague. He says he has investigated the mat ter and finds the man died of a com mon ailment after an operation had been performed. He declares that should this conduct be continued he would invoke the protection of the treaty between the United States and China. The city board of health has decided to enforce the quarantine in Chinatown with the greatest possible strictness. It will be several days before the ex act nature of the suspected case can be determined. NATIONAL PAxtK. Letters to Dr. Ambler from Botanical Society of Pennsylvania. Dr. C. P.

TCODSANDS GREET! ; v ENGLAND'S QUEEN i - ' ' i Scenes as Her Majesty Pro ceeds to Buckingham Palace. They Have Had No Parallel Since Jubilee Celebration. THE SUN BURSTS THROUGH CLOUDS AND SHOWS A SMILE UPON THE FACE OF THE AGED MONARCH. London, March 8. The queen's arri val In London and the commencement of her visit to the metropolis was marked by scenes of enthusiasm un paralleled since the Jubilee celebration. Throughout the demonstration there predominated a note of triumph, and the cheers that made the murky streets ring were almost as much in honor of British victories in South Africa as they were vociferous tributes of the loyal people to the monarch whose wo manly sympathy has been so strikingly shown since the war began. When the train from Windsor arriv ed at Paddington station a tremendous cheer went up. Her majesty came down the-sloping platform leaning on the arm of a turbaned Indian attendant and entered an open landau, in which also sat Princess Henry of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Schleswig Hotetein. They all wore black, and 'round her neck the queen had a sable collarette. . From the packed sidewalks and from every available window came a contin uous roar of cheers, while hundreds of little .flags were waved all the way' to Buckingham palace. 50.000 AT THE PALACE. Fifty thousand people surrounded Buckingham palace as early as noon. Members of the bouse of commons and of nie royal household, who alone were permitted to pass the great railings that shut off the palace, walked up and down, chatting about war anu politics. Jealously watched by the crowd outside the railings. Soon, from Constitution hill came the dull roar of distant cheers, and the cry Slie is coming" was passed from mouth to mouth. "Stand back there," ordered the po lice, and peeresses and ragged women edged away as well as they could, la dles not being admitted into the court yard. Among those who sat and shiv ered; on the stone base outside the rail ings was Countess Brownlow, daughter of an of . England's bluest blooded peers;4 ud tieslde her su e frayed old woman, her wixened face almost forced through the iron bars. Now the roar was taken up by those within the precincta of the palace. Back on their creaking hinges flew the great gates and up went the royal standard. A patrol of police went by, there was a flash of steel as the Life Guardsmen and outriders trotted through the gates, and then hats flew in the air, a mighty cheer arose, and slowly there passed the carriage on the back seat of which sat a little black figure, heavily veiled and nodding right and left. Suddenly, for then rst time in the day, the sun came out from behind the clouds and shone over the shouting thousands, and, piercing the veil, show ed the happy smiles lighting up the aged monarch's face.

The Committee Could Give a Report if it Would. MOTION TO DISCHARGE THE COM MITTEE FROM FURTHER CON SIDERATION GOES OVER UNDER THE RULES. Washington, March 8. In the senate yesterday Mr. Mason of Illinois gave notice that today he would enter a motion that the committee on foreign relations be discharged from further consideration of his resolution express ive of the senate's sympathy for the Boers. He had, he said, introduced the. resolution December 6 and it had been in the hands of the committee ev er since, "I have no Intention of vio lating the rules of the senate," said Mr. Mason, "but it is clearly the inten tion of the committee on foreign rela tions to take no action in regard to the resolution and I want it brought into the senate and placed on the calendar. The committee could give us a report if it would. If the majority of the committee is opposed to the resolution, let them report adversely. It s the merest child's play for us to sit here and not be able to get a vote upon it." Today when routine business was concluded in the senate Mr. Mason, in accordance with the notice of yester day, moved to discharge ths committee; on foreign relations. Under the rules the motion went over. The debate upon the contested elec tion case of Aldrich vs Robbins from the Fourth Alabama district, which was interrupted yesterday by an-ad-Journment out of respect to the mem ory of late Representative Harmer of Pennsylvania, was resumed in the house today under an agreement that a vote would be taken at 2:30 today. Mr. Hamilton of Michigan addressed the house on behalf of the claims of "the contestant, Aldrich. Several conferences were held with the president today on the pending rec iprocity treaty with France, with the result, it is thought, that the French government will be communicated with on the proposition to extend the time for its final ratification or rejection. By the terms of the treaty, action must be taken thereon before the 24th of the monttu.and it is the opinion of many prominent members of congress that if pushed to a vote at this session the treaty will fail; hence there is an effort being made to secure, a. postpone ssen -until the terms of the treaty can be more fully considered. - Senators Sewell and Kean of New Jersey, both opponents of the treaty, and Senator Piatt of New York saw the president today, and later Secreta ry Hay called.
