Philadelphia, Mny 2.—No change is apparent in the labor situation, although the oflieials of the workmen's organiza tions are satisfied with the conditions. An accurate estimate of the number of men idle is impossible, but tho figures are still put at 3,000. Reports from the various, divisions of ihe steamflitter's union placo tho num ber of strikers of that organization at 400. Thirty simps are tied up, but it is announced that each minute brings in signed agreements from employers ac cepting the terms of the men. A satis factory settlement is expected soon.

Buffalo, Mny 2.—A long conference was held here between Superiutennent Waitt of the New York Central, Com missioner Webster of the board of arbi tration and the executive committee of the strikers. When the meeting ad- jourhed it was announced that no defi nite action had been taken, but Commis sioner Webster is hopeful of an ami cable adjustment of the differences. In an interview Superintendent Waitt said in substance that he had come to discuss the situation, but that tho com pany had received no demand for the reinstatement of the discharged men and that other demands had been answered in the statement given in Now York. Alabama Minors Strike. Mon'Tevallo, Ala., May 2.—A strike is now on at the Montevallo coal mines. It seems the owner wishes to reduce the os of the miners 8 cents per ton, to which they objected. He gave them the alternative to go to work at the reduc tion or he would close down the mines. They notified him they would not work. Both sides are very determined and it now looks that no Montevallo coal will be mined this summer. The Montevallo mines were the first ever opened in the state, having been started in 1850 and this is the first strike that has ever oc curred. Motermcu and Conductors Strike. Little Rock, May 2. — All tho motor- men and conductors ou the Little Rock street car system struck this moruiug.

Botliu Hus Been Reinforced and May Hake Stand-British Force Puss at C'eriiHots After Severe Engagement* Position, of Troops. London, Mny 2.—It is difficult to nn ravel the tangled story coining from the neighiiorhoofl of Timlin N'Chu, hut ap parently tho forces tire engaged in n movement the object being to hem in the Boers in that district. While Generals French and Bundle are holding the Boers at Thaba N’Chu, General Bromlwood’s cavalry has been pushed ou Hohtucll in the hope of inter cepting tho federal couvoys between Ladybraml and Wiulierg. As General Botha has boon reinforced there is every prosjiect of sharp fighting. The now scene of operations nnd the general movements of the various col umns are taken to indicate that Lord Roberts is deploying Iris army prepara tory to begin his northern inarch. It how seems likely that it is the com' mander-in-clrief's intention to^ulvance simultaneously from Kunberley, Bloc in fontein and Ladysmith, with the view of preventing the Boers from concentrat ing their forces at any given poiut. A dispatch from Bloemfontein chron icles the prevailing opinion among the townspeople there that the war is not likely to last more than six weeks, once the British advance begins, but adds that the correspondent has been unabje to discover any ground for this opinion beyond the fact that General Carrington has arrived at the Maraudeltas base, whence a flying column will be dis patched in a direction not made public. Bombardment of Creusots. A dispatch from Mafeking, describing the Boer attack of April 11, says: "The bombardment of the Creusots was the hottest of the fight. Tho shells entered the hospitnlimd woman’slaager. Under cover of artillery a large force, commanded by Cronjo (the younger), including the German corps, advanced close to Fort Abrams. The garrison laid low until tho Boer foreo was at Close range, when they fired a volley, killing five, wounding ninny, and the attack was repulsed. Tho bombard ment then ceased. Tho Boers, under a Bed Cross flag, later were permitted to recover their dead.” General Hnmiltou's division lias been engaged in foroilig a pussugo north ward. At Himtuell the Boer front held a line of hills commanding the sides of the Nek. The Cnuadians and Gordons attneked the hills to the left and the Shropslrires and Masshnlls horse sup ported by a battery also made an attack on (he enemy, who finally fled, leaving many wounded, and the juissnge wus cleared. The Boers on the monntniu are now shelling the outlying camp, necessitating removal to a safer placo. The Boers huve three gnus on the hill to the eastward of this place outside the raugo of the British artillery. The Beer shelling is not doing any damage. The enemy retain their positions and the British are not attempting to dislodge them. General Hamilton, after a full day’s march, secured the Thuba N'Chu-Bloein- fontein rood. British Kxpelled by Kruger, A dispatch from Pretoria gives the text of President Kruger’s proclamation expelling British subjects from the Transvaal. It says: As numerous burghers insist on the removal of the British and as tire gov ernment is desirons of complying with the wishes of the burghers and others favorable to the republic, all Britishers residing in the district and town of Pre toria and the Witwaterstrand goldfields must leave the state within 36 hours from noon, April 30. Exception will be made in tho rase of thoso obtaining special permits.” % Baking Powder • t * _ •Economy The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. The Royal is made from the most highly refined and wholesome ingredients, and is the embodiment of all the excellence pqssible to be attained in the highest class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is cheaper at its price than any similar article. Boer, to Lrnve Transvaal. Pretoria, May 2.—Although the ma jority of the Boers still believe that in dependence of the republics will remain after the war, hundreds of them are taking the opposite view and are casting about for a suitable country to which they cun emigrate. State Secretary Reitz said today: "If the English take those republics and raise the union jack over them I will tuke my family to America.” Many of the other prominent families will trek to Germany and other coon- tries. An old Boer in the city asked concern- Samples of fixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis tributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food, and in many cities their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is u corrosive poison, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

HOLD STB0NG POSITIONS Trausvaulero Kvaeuute Thaba N’C'bu to Occupy Well Secured Kldges. Roberts Meets With Great Dlfllcul. ties In III, Movement,. London, April 30.—The latest nowl received from the Orange Free State in dicate* that tlmugh the Boers have evacuated Thuba N’Clin, they have only done so iu order to occupy stronger po sitions. ()u Sunday General Dewet Diode an effort to turn General French's eastern flank, which was only foiled by the cav- e!ry after vigorous maneuvers. yThe Boers hold the ridges to the eastward, whence tlipy will probably fall back when the pressure of superior numbers increases. The British casualties sustained dur ing the Thaba N’Chn fighting were slight. General French's object, now that all chances of catching the limiu bodies of the burghers has disappeared, is to harass the Boers uml prevent any well organized retA-at. The distance between Thaba N'Chu and Ludybraml is 40 miles and tho veldt is beyond the mountains. On tho edge of the Basutoland Lmlyhmnd is an im portant point of eoueentratiou for Oli vier’s nnd Dewet's forces aud can only lie approached by a British army in strength.' General Roberts' plans are not re vealed by the dis|«tches. He can either follow tuo Boors toward Ladybrand and theu resumo his advance northward to Benekal or he can make a narrow wheel ing movement fronj Thuba N’Chu and throw the balk of his forces between Wiubnrgand Dewet'sand Olivier’s com mandoes. The conditions of his trans port are unknown and the direction of the next movement of the British forces cannot be forecasted with any degree of confidence. General Roberts has cleared his eastern flank, bnt may be compelled to bait until his transport is in order. From Beira, Portuguese East Africa, comes news of the arrival there of a Ca nadian 12-pounder battery. The agent of Julias Weil, nt Mafe king, wrote, under ilato of April 12, say ing everything was in good condition. He said gnus were firing heavily into town and that a determined attack had been repulsed without casualties on the British fidi
