While Generals French and Rundle are holding the Boers at Thaban- chu, General Broadwood's cavalry has been pushing on Hout nek in the hope of intercepting the federal convoys between Ladybrand and Winburg. As Gen. Botha has been reinforced there is every prospect of sharp fighting. The new scene of operations and the general movements of the various columns are taken to indicate that Lord Roberts is deploying his armv preparatory to beginning his northern march. It now seems likely that it is the commander-in-chief's intention to advance simultaneously from Kimberly, Bloemfontein and Ladysmith, with the. view of preventing the Boers from concentrating their forces at any given point. Will Kndln Six Week*. A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated yesterday, chronicles the prevailing opinion among the townspeople there than the war is not likely to last more that six weeks after the British advance shall begin. KrngerSays British .1111 hi Leave. A dispatch from Pretoria gives the text of President Kruger's proclamation, expelling British subjects from the Transvaal. It says: "As numerous burghers insist upon the removal of the British'and as the government is desirous of complying with the wishes of the burghers and others favorable to the republic, all Britishers residing in the district and town of Pretoria and the Witwaters Rand gold fields, must leave the state within 36 hours from noon April 30. Kxception will be made in the case of those obtaining special permits." C'aaually LI»I at Thalia Nehu. Lord Roberts forwards a list of Ian Hamilton's force on April 30 as follows: Killed—Major Showers, Lieutenant Parker and one private. Wounded—Four officers and five men. Missing—Two officers and ten men. naleklug'a Gallant DefciiM*. A dispatch from Mafeking, describing the Boers attack on April 11, says: "The bombardment of the Creti- sots was the hottest of the siege. Many shells entered the hospital and women's laager. Under cover of the artillery a large force commanded by Cronje the younger, including the German corps, advanced close to Fort Abrams. The garrison lay low until the Boer force was at close range, when they fired a volley, killing five and wounding many. The attack was repulsed. The bombardment then ceased. The Boers, under a Red Cross flag, were permitted later to recover their dead." Til* Queen Inspects Naval llrlicnrie Windsor is in holiday attire today and decorated from end to end, in honor of the naval brigade of the British cruiser Powerful, which assisted in the defense of Ladysmith. The naval men have been summoned to the palace to be inspected by the queen. The band of the Grenadier Guards met the naval brigade at the railroad station and played them to the castle through cheering throngs of people. Capt. Lambton and the officers of the Powerful were presented to her majesty, who thanked Capt. Lambton and the brigade for their noble services to the empire. The captain replied that what they had dune was nothing to what the navy was prepared to do for her majesty. The queen saw the blue jackets entertained at dinner. Forertl n Way Tlirouuli. Thaba Nchu, May 2. Afternoon. —General Hamilton's division was engaged yesterday and today in forcing a passage northward. At Houtnek the Boer front had a line of bills commanding the sides of tbe nek. ' The Canadians and Gordons attacked the hill to the left, and the Shropshires and Marshall's horse, supported by a battery, also made an attack on the enemy, who eventually fled, leaving many wounded, and the passage was cleared. The Boers on the mountain are now shelling the outlying camp, necessitating removal to another place. The Boers have three guns on the hill to the eastward of this place, outside the range of the British artillery. The Boer shelling is not doing any damage. The enemy retained their positions and the British are not attempting to dislodge them. General Hamilton, by reaching Houtnek, after a full day's fighting, secured the Thaba Nchu-Bloemfon- tein road. IIW1M. A HARD MARCH Sceoud) Contingent Wading Th roll all Rain, on Short Elation*-.. Toronto, May 1.— The Globe correspondent with the second contingent, in a letter from Van Wycks Vlei, Cape Colony, dated Apail 24, says: Private Bradley of Ottawa died of pneumonia, the result of being thrown into the water by a horse which he was riding. "Fearful rain, almost impassable roads and threatened shortage of provisions and storagearecharacter- izing the march. These hardships are beginning to tell. We left nineteen men in the hospital at Carnarvon and another hospital has been established here. "Private Hopkins, D battery, accidentally discharged his revolver, the bullet taking effect in his knee. Tbe wound is not dangerous. "Lieut.-Col. Herchmer has taken a staff appointment at Capetown and Major Howe is now commanding tlie Canadian rifles." Ileeriill*. lor Stratheonaa Kail Montreal, May 1.— The 50 recruits for Stratbcona's Horse, now in South Africa, sailed by the Dominion liner Vancouver, Capt. McDonald, from this port this morning.

SACRED WRITINGS Re-Discovery of Letters of Christ and Ring Agrippa. New York, May 2.—The Herald and the Journal and Advertiser print today special cables from London and Rome respectively, which say that two letters, one from King Agrippa to Christ and the other from the Savior to the king in reply— letters referred to by Eusebius in the fourth century—have been discovered after being lost 903 years. The letter trom King Agrippa to Christ reads: "I have heard of Thee and the cures wrought by Thee without herb or medicine, for it is reported that Thou restorest sight to the blind and makest the lame walk, cleanest the leper, raises! the dead, castest out devils and unclean spirits and healest those that are tormented of diseases of a long continuance. Hearing ail this of Thee, I was fully persuaded that Thou art the very God come down from heaven to do such miracles, or that Thou art the Son of God and per- formest them. Therefore I have sent Thee a few lines entreating Thee to come hither and cure my diseases. Besides, hearing that the Jews murmur against Thee and continue to do Thee mischief, I invite Thee to my city, which is but a little one, but is beautiful and suffiient to entertain us both." . Christ's reply to the above reads: "Blessed art thou for believing Me, whom thou hast not seen, for it is written of Me that they that have seen Me shall not believe, and they that have not seen Me shall believe and be saved. But concerning the matter thou hast written about, this is to acquaint thee that all things for which I was sent hither must be fulfilled and then 1 shall be taken up and return to Him that sent me. But after My ascension I will send one of My disciples that shall cure thee of thy distemper and give life to all them that are with thee." The Journal and Advertiser says: "The special cable from Rome purports to prove the truth of a tradition that is almost as ancient as Christianity. Of course the Journal cannot vouch for the truth of the statements which were made yesterday, April 30, by Professor Broh- mann of the Vienna university, to the Archeological congress in Rome, but they are of intense interest."

H.< niNF. HAN A > Alt HOW ESCAPE Forest Fire Almost Heaehc* Powder House and Shaft House. Grand Forks, May 2.—The office, shaft and powder houses of the B. C. mine in Summit camp had a narrow escape from destruction by fire yesterday. A heap of brush along the railway spur near the dump was being burned, and the sparks carried by the wind ignited the adjacent dry grass, trees, cordwood, stumps etc. Soon it extended over several acres. The heat was terrific. All the miners above ground were formed into a bucket brigade, directed Ijy Superintent Scrafford and Accountant Mackintosh. A fire hose did good service but the flames were not checked until they had reached within twenty feet of the powder house, where thou - sands of pounds of explosives were stored. One shack was destroyed, and the occupant, a miner, had a narrow escape. Standing on thc spur were a number ol cars loaded with dynamite. They received a scorching, but were shifted down the track in time. After half an hours work the wind shifted in an opposite direction. The tire then swept through dry trees and finally exhausted it self in the green timber. Several acres were swept over. At one time it looked as though the fire would extend across the hill to Summit city. Mr. Mackintosh sent a warning and Colonel Haywood and the inhabitants turned out prepared for any emergency. AWFUL DISASTER A MISTAKEN VIEW. In the debate in parliament on the amendment to the Cape Scott & Comox railroad bill excluding Chinese and Japanese from employment on the road, Mr. Bell, of Prince Edward Island, said: "It would be contrary to our interests to do what would be construed as an act of hostility by the people of either country, and this house ought to hesitate before committing itself to an act which would involve a policy of hostility against any country with which we have trade relations, and with which we hope to have better trade relations in the future. "There is another reason. Thc Canadian Pacific railway has been built across this country largely by Chinese labor. At any rate, its construction has been expedited by Chinese labor. All the railways across the American continent have Already 137 Bodies Have Been Taken From Utah Goal Mine. been built largely by Chinese labor. These Chinese, say what you like about them,have been a great benefit to this continent, and, I think, it would be ungrateful on our part, not to recognize the benefit these people have done in the past, and attempt to exclude them from working on the construction of railways. I do not think it will be in the interests of the country or even the province of British Columbia, to take the step proposed by this amendment, and for these reasons I am opposed to it." In the language of the street, this is all tommyrot. In the first place, there is no reason to believe that, if the matter were taken up properly by the Dominion and imperial governments, any serious feeling of hostility would result in China and Japan. The United States excludes Chinese, but is still on friendly terms with China, their citizens obtaining railroad and other concessions there. If the British government goes about exclusion in a proper manner, so that the Chinese and Japanese governments will not regard its action as a slap in the face, no hostile feeling would ensue. As to the alleged debt of gratitude due the Chinese for building the C. P. R., that is a fiction. While the Chinese were paid lower wages than are current in this country for white men, they were paid much more than they would have received in their own country. They got their money and most of them took it back to China and no gratitude goes along with it. Certainly, none is due those who are coming in now. If there should beany- shortage of labor in Canada, it can be made up in the United Kingdom or the United States, among white men. The trouble with Mr. Bell and men from his section is that they know nothing about the Chinese question from personal observation and have their head full of fine-spun ideas which they would promptly' abandon, if called upon to put them in practice for themselves. It is j simply a question whether British Columbia shall be a British colony or a colony where the white men shall be gradually swamped by a growing population of an inferior, alien civilization, which neither would nor should become amalgamated with our own. Till'. INI'.H Kl.< TOIt OOllllNOl Brandford, Ont., May i.— Rev. Henry lleadley, of the Anglican church in this city, left here yesterday for Rossland B. C. where he intends to reside. Salt Lake. Utah, May a.—-Two hundred or more lives were lost in the explosion in mine No. 4 of t' e Pleasant Valley Coal company yesterday at Schofield, Utah. Or.e hundred and thirty-seven bodies- have already been recovered. The work of rescuers is still proceeding although there is no hope that any of the men who are unaccounted fot escaped death. The scene ot the disaster is just outside this place on the line of the Rio Grande Western railroad. The explosion which occured in the winter quarters of the mines is attributed by some to the blowing up of a number of cans of blasting powder. A special train was sent from Salt Lake bearing.Superinten- dent Sharpe, of the coal company, Superintendent Wilby of the railroad company, and some^doctors. As fast as bodies are reached they are taken to the boarding houses and other company buildings, where they are dressed and prepared for the coroner's inquest. These buildings are numerous and in each'are from io to 15 bodies which Jare laid in long rows. To those which have been identified are tags with names and addresses. These await the coming of relatives or friends. Two hundred coffins have been ordered through local undertakers to be sent at once to the scene of thc disaster. A Uood NhowlUK.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION. The reports that Russia has determined to call upon Great Britain to make peace in South Africa, threatening in case of refusal, to occupy Cabul and Herat, are taken seriously by some newspapers. They assume that, because a quarter of a million British troops are occupied in South Africa, Russia would have a walk-over in the execution of her designs in Asia. These alarmists little know the reserve power of the British empire. The point of attack would doubtless be through Afghanistan, but there Britain has a faithful ally in thc ameer, whose] dauntless mountain" eers have been trained in modern methods and would be backed by modern artillery.

Shortly after midnight, Offiitt Raymer saw McArthur enter the Columbia lodging house, slight!) intoxicated, and afew minutes afterwards heard a shot, followed i: close succession by two others from the upper floor He rusheJ upstairs end found Albi, in his underclothes, flourishing a revolver over McArthur, who lay prostrate on tbe floor of the lar.tng. At tlu risk of his own life, he seized Albi and disarm j him, finding th;it three bullets had been fired from the revolver. But for his interference, McArthur would probabl) have beer killed, for Albi had been pounding his head and face with the muzzlf Ol the revolver. Albi was taken to jail and McArthur to the Sisters hospital. Of the three shots, thc first Bp pears to have been fired through th door of Albi's room and missed it m irk, lodging in the opposite wall Another was tired down the hall an sti nek the wall in a glancing dirt'i turn. The third hit McArthur in th back and must have caused him 1 fall, at his assailant's mercy. Th latter then, it appears, proceededt beat the man on the head.

Constantinople, April 27.—The United States legation has not yet received.'*he porte's answer to the Kded to Tewfik Pasha, the K foreign minister, by the American charge d'affaires, regarding the indemnity claims, and the impression is gaining ground that the Only will be in the negative. The general opinion is that, without a Hy of totce, the porte certainly will not pay the claims, because it wishes to show the Moslem world that it only yields to force. It is considered here that a simple rupture of diplomatic relation s wilt render the porte easier to deal wifd); not a rupture of formal relations is not thought necessary, as the sending of a warship to a Mediterranean port would suffice to obtain a settlement of the matter in OSS than 24 hours. The same proposition made to the United States for a settlement of the indemnity question by an order for a warship, in the price of which the indemnity should be included, was formerly made to France and Italy, but M. Constance and Senor Pansa rejected the proposition. The' newspaper criticisms and comments upon the attitude of Turkey in this affair are causing great irritation at Yildiz Kiosk. SOCIETY STiVS AWAY. It Take* the Hint to Leave South Africa to Itsell. London, April 28.—The effect of Sir Alfred Milner's proclamation, requesting ladies to stay in England in.-tead of going to the Cape, is beginning to be apparent in society, Lady Heniy Bentinck and many- Others returning to London. Lady J Randolph Churchill was not expected to return with the hospital ship r Maine. Among those who had le planned, to go to tbe Cape and had cancelled their passage on account p of the proclamation of the high 1 commissioner are Lady Errol and K several other ladies of title. Sir c> Alfred Milner has not increased his "'' social popularity by his frank utter- 'K ances.

New York, April 30.—-Frederick Treves, a famous surgeon, who has just returned from thc war, was entertained, together with Sir Win. McCormaek, at a banquet of the Reform club Saturday night pic- sided over by Lord Rosebery, says a London cable. Mr. Treves look occasion to administer a stinging rebuke to the "smart" women suffering from "khaki fever," who have gone as alleged nurses to the front. He said: 4,So far as the sick are concerned, there arc only two plagues in South Africa—the plague of llies, and the plague of women. The flies we get rid of by horsewhips, and Other appliances, and the llies al least depart at night. But the women are absolutely and really a terror. They came out in the guise ol amateur nurses, after having exhausted every other form of excitement. Considering that we are engaged in a war, the number of well-dressed ladies at Capetown anil elsewhere giving pii nics is a blot on the campaign."

General Dewel: on April 29 made an effort to turn General French's eastern flank and was foiled by the cavalry, only after vigorous maneuvering. The Boers hold the ridges to the eastward, whence they will probably fall back when the pressure of superior numbers increases. The British casualties sustained during the Thabanchu fighting were slight. General French's object, now that all chance of catching the main bodies of the burghers has disappeared, is to harrass the Boers and prevent any well-organized retreat. • anatlliiiiH wlili < nrrliiKlon.

It professes to have found the motive which urged Secretary of the War Root, at the Grant dinner of last week, to hint at the possibility of the Uuited States being foiced to go to war to maintain the Monroe doctrine. It is said that the facts which led up to Mr. Root's remark, are contained in an official report just submitted to the Danish government by Captain W. Von Christmas Birchinck-Holmfoeld. The captain was the special envoy of his government to negotiate the sale of the islands to the United States, and his report, which has been put in the hands of Mr. Hoer- rmg, the prime minister and minister of finance, states that the failure of the negotiations is due to the interference of Henry H. Rogers, one of the directors of the Standard Oil company, According to the Times, the first appearance of Mr. Rogers in tbe Danish West Indies was about three years ago, just prior to the breaking out oi the war with Spain. Mr. Rogers, by letter and through the agents of tbe Standard Oil company in Denmark, among them Kiel S. Green, made a proposition to the Danish government lhat, for a consideration of ten per cent of the purchase price, he would undertake the sale of the Danish West Indian islands, St. John, St. Croix and St. Thomas, to the United States. Mr. Rogers stated to the Danish government that he was in a position to do what he proposed, on account of his influence and the influence of his company with United States senators. After an investigation, Mr. Hoer- ring called together a council of some of the most prominent members of the Danish parliament and a number of prominent business men of Copenhagen. Among the latter was C. W. Hagerman, a lormer resident of the United States and an old friend of Mr. Rogers. Hagerman impressed upon the council the strength of Mr. Rogers' claim, and it was accordingly decided to give Rogers permission to act in the matter as the representative of the Danish government, but without any billet to that effect, Then Mr. Rogers, it is asserted, went on with the negotiations till the breaking out of the Spanish war stopped them. But in the early part oi lSqq, Captain Christmas was approached by a syndicate oi Germans, who asked him to use his influence in Copenhagen to obtain from the Danish government a contract with Germany, by which the latter could purchase the island of St. John. Captain Christmas asserted that this would be next to impossible. The United States would neither allow Denmark to sell the island to a foreign power, nor would it allow Germany to purchase it, because of the Monroe doctrine. He then laid the matter before hi- government, the outcome being that the permission was denied 0.1 diplomatic grounds, the Danish government recognizing that, should any complications arise, the sale of the islands to the United Slates would be next to impossible, This led to Captain Christmas coming to America as the authorized agent of the Danish government lor the sale ol the islands.

New York, April 30.—Commissioner Francis Deleganty, of the state board of mediation, arrived in this city from Buffalo this morning to confer with Superintendent Wyatt, of the New York Central railroad, in the hope of preventing a general strike on the Central system. He is reported to have said: "The situation is extremely serious. The only hope I have of a general strike being avoided is the making of concessions by the officials of the Central. Unless they meet the demands of the men, there will be a general strike. I can say nothing further until I have seen Superintendent Wyatt." All of the employees of the New York Central were reticent. Many of them declared that they had no grievances and that the conductors and trainmen were not regularly organized, their organization having been broken up by the big strike on the Central system.
