A despatch from London, Monday, sayszâ€"The correspondents at Kroon- stad with Gen. Roberts send the most positive assurances concerning the demoralization of the Free State Board. One ascribes to Generals Botha and De Wet the assertion that they are hopeless of ever getting the burghers to face the British again. All are convinced that there will be no further fighting south of the Vaal river, and some doubt that a stand will even be made there. They say that very few State Boers went north with the ’J‘ransvaalers. A majority of them dispersed and are now trying to reach their homes unobserved. There seems to be an inclination in the British camp to predict the speedy and of the war. On the other hand, President Siteyn, who is variously be- lieved to have gone to Pretoria, Lind- ley, and Heilbrun, is represented as de. termined to continue the struggle, even if he trPks with the Trausvaalers to Limpopo river, the northern boundâ€" ary of the. South African Republic. One or two of the vorrespondents say that President Steyu, after tear- fully appealing to his (‘uuntrymen at Kroonstad not to retreat, resorted to force, sjnmhoking and kicking indivi- duals who refused to comply. These and similar stories emanate from resi- dents of the town. “Baffin, May. 15.â€"Wheatâ€"c1osedâ€" No. 1 white, 73c; No. 2 red, 73c; May, 730; July, 72 5â€"80. GAVE BOTHA A GUARANTEE That the Johannesburg Mines Would Not Be Destroyed. A despatch to the Cologne Gazette from Pretoria says Gen. Louis Bothu, who succeeded Gen. Joubert as com- mander of the federal army, informed the Government [hall he would resign his command if it were intended to destroy the Johannesburg mines. He had no grievance against private pro- petty, he said, and would only fight a hostile army. Gen. Botha was offici- ally informed that it was not intended to destroy the mines.

Mr. \V‘. L’. Clement. as legal adviser for the Yu- kon district, received $22,500 a year prior to June 18th, 1890, and. $5,000 a year since that date, together with $100 a month for living expenses. Mr. Monk was told by Mr. Blair that it is not the intention ot the Govern- ment to increase the salaries of lock- men employed on the Lachine Canal, nor is it the intention'to give them any more extra pay than they now re- ceive when their servrces are required for Sunday work. There is no regula- tion obliging luckmasters to attend on the canals on Sundays, but such at- tendance is optional. The lockmen are paid at the rate of $30 per month. Sir Hibbert Topper was told by Mr. Sutherland that the Department of the Interior has not yet received any reply to the telegram sent to Mr. Ogilvie asking for hlS report on the Yukon territories. Mr. Davin was told by Mr. Suther- land that the Order-in-C-Uuncil provid- ed that claims in the Yukon when abandoned shall revert to the Crown is dated October 7th, 1899. The order provides that after having reverted they shall be disposed of as may seem right to the Minister of the Interior‘ The records of the department do not show that any of these claims have been disposed of except such of them ggvfifiavâ€"éâ€"Eeren included in hydraulic pro- positions. .... 1r ‘1- .â€" ......... Mr. Casgrain was told by Mr. Mu- lock that the system of receiving and delivering mail by means of hooks or brackets while the train is running full speed has been in operation for about a year at several stations on the lntercoloinai. At first some of the mail bags were injured through defec- tive construction of the brackets, but this has since been remedied. Mr. Puttee was told. by Mr. Mulock that for the week ending 7th April_ 1900, there were 87,170 letters handled in the Winnipeg post-office. At this Date the number handled during the year would be 4,445,292. COLD STORAGE CONTRACTS. The House went into committee on Mr. Fisher’s resolution authorizing the Government to renew with Messrs. Allan and Redford Company the cold- slorage contracts for this season and ' ‘ A A 7,7»4_.l 000"le (u _. _ Mr. {usher explained that the orig- inul contract for three years was enâ€" tered into [our years ago, and that it expired last season. Owing to the South African war and the consequent rale demanded for steamships, there was adanger of the cold storage ves- sels being monopolized by Americans, and it was therefore necessary to re- new the contract. Be regretted, how- ever, that he had not been able to get as favourable 1 arms as in the contract which had lapsed last year. nextfthe an per annum. Mr. Charlton called attention to Mr. Tarte‘s despatch regarding the refusal of the Paris commissioners to permit the Sunday closing of the Canadian ex- hibits.

ROBERTS AT KROONSTAD.‘ "Kroonstad, May 12, 2 p. m.â€"I en- tered Kroonstad at 1.30 without op- position to-day, when the Union Jack was hoisted amidst cheers from the few British residents. "The Free Staters accused the Transvaalers of having made use of them and then deserting. Many of the Free Staters have gone to their homes. "The procession entering the town was headed by my body-guard, all of whom were Colonials. After my staff and foreign officers came‘the North Somerset Imperial Yeomani'y, followed by Pole-Carew‘s division. consisting of the Guards and the Eighteenth Brigade; Navals, the Eighty-Third. Eighty-Fourth, and Eighty-Fifth Batteries. two five-inch guns, manned by the Royal Artillery Company, and the Twelfth Engin- eers. His Entry Into the Free State Cap- ital Was Unopposed. "The rest of the force encamped around the town. “Before leaving Kroonstad Presi- dent Steyn issued a proclamation making Lindley the seat of govern- ment of the Free State. In answer to Mr. D'uigas’ question:â€" "Is the Prime Minister aware that the Board of melic School Commis- sioners of: Manitoba does not permit the Catholics to set up religious pic- tures, statues or other pious em- blems in view of the children in their schoolhouses. and that the said board refuses to allow religious women en- gaged in teaching to wear their re- ligious costume and insignia in teach- ing the children in schools subsidiz- ed by the State, as was stated by the Chairman of the said board to the delegates of the Catholic laity of Winnipeg at an interview during the month of April last? Under these Circumstances, does the Prime Minister consider that the statement of November, 1896, and the subsequent Provmcial legislation of 1897, in rela- tion to the schools, render mill and complete justice to the Catholics of Manitoba 2” INSPECTION OF FRUIT PACKAGES. Premier read with care the report of the meeting which took place between the Roman‘ Catholic ratepayers of the City; of Winnipeg and the Chair- man and members at the Public School Board for that city, and he at- firms positively that the Chairman never expressed the opinion attribut- ed to him by the hon, member. He has Mr. Fisher explained several clauses of the bill at some length, and exâ€" pressed the hope that some method would be found of inspecting apples and pears packed for home consump- tion, as well as those packed for ex‘ port. He thought that perhaps this object could be attained by making the penalty clauses apply to thoseim- properly branding the barrels in which such fruits were packed for home con.- sumption. He could not at present see his way clear to having the clause! regarding inspection apply to anything but the export trade. The House then went into commit- tee on the bill to provide for the mark. ing and inspection of packages con- taining apples and pears for export. The Premier saidIâ€"“The Premler 15 not aware of any such regulatmn hav- ing been passed by the Board of Pub- 110 School Commissioners of Manitoba. If any such regulation exists his at- tention was not called to it. The no reason to change the oplnlon thch he has always held and express- ed of the statement of November, 1896, and of the subsequent legxsla- tion of 1897." Onl he suggestion of Mr. Mills, the bill was left over for the present, as several members who desired to say something about it were absent. Those interested in the fruit-packing industry will also probably be given a hearing before the measure is fur- ther proceeded with. PRIVATE BILLS PASSED. Respecting the Toronto Hotel Com- pany.

London, May 13.-â€"-Lord Roberts cap~ tured Kroonstud, the new Orange Free State capital, yesterday, and thus practically ends the war in the Free State. It also practically wipes out of existence that Republic, for, barring a few scattered commandoes along the mountain ranges in the northâ€"east corner, the entire Orange Free State is now under British rule, The entry of Lord Roberts' army into the Free State stronghold was like the march of a triumphant con- queror, his own body guard leading the procession through the streets from which the Free Staters fled dur- ing the previous night. _ . ‘ There is also compassion in England for these, the first conquered people. They had no quarrel of their own with England. They but took up the quar- rel of their Transvaal brothers, and have had to bear the brunt of the fighting. Hundreds of their burgh- ers have been slain, and their country devastated and ruined by marching armies. Finally, their rational exist- ence is ended. companied the Transvaalerg." Roberts‘ campaign has certainly been a magnificent success, proving his military genius, and tvo-day he can have almost any honour England has to give. When he takes Pretoria he will have the nation at his feet, and bake rank with VVeilington and Ne!- son as one of the country’s greats-t heroes. Meantime the final campaign is moving like clockwork. Each army in its place is marching on toward the final goal.

Roberts’ Advance as Brilliant as tho March to Kandahar. A despatch) from Berlin, sayszâ€"The occupation of Kr‘oonstad by Lord Rob- erts withorut resistance has caused the greatest surprise hero. The military expert of the Lokal Anzeiger finds an explanation in the fact that many of the Boers have deserted. He saysz~ “Lord Roberts’ advance was splen- didly executed. It is “orthy to be placed beside the {Kandahar expedL Hon. The shuafion is now changed so greatly in favour of the BriUsh that the fate of the Transvaal Boers is settled. President Steyn's move- rnent easthard is interpreted as con- firming the mmoum of bickerings be- tween the Transvaalers and the Free Staters." Seventy Were Killed In One En- gagement.
