A Criticising Despatch--J ohannes- burg Political Association Postpones Action -- Brighter Outlook For Labor .in the Mines. New York, Aug. 26.--The special London cables to the Times repeat se- -er&l despatches' from South Afyica, to the London papers. A Cape Town "ord Spontient says: "The breach be- tween Sir John Sprigg afd the pro gressives was dramatically made pro- minent in the - assembly on Friday, when, on a motion to fill the parlia mentary vacancies, Sir John and members of the ministry, unaccompan- ded by any progressives, left their 'places at the right of the house and joined" the ranks of the .Airikander Bond to vote. It is pathetic to see Sir John, after "being for twenty-five vears .the champion of British progres sive interests, surrendering in his clos- ing. days his parliamentary career to the Boers." Commenting on the abandonment of the proposed meeting of the Johan nesburg political association, a cor- respondent says this position viundi cates the common sense of the com- munity, which realizes that indiscrim- inate political criticism at the present moment would be not only useless, but also unfair to Lord Milner's aul- ministration, which is contending with den cessation of war, after the sus- pension of civil life for three vears. The labor outlook i s becoming much brighter, says the Times' correspond- ent at Johanmesbure, though the in- creased influx of natives is hardly vet perceptible. Still the exodus is dimin- inishing with the spring, and recruit- ing prospeets are decidedly. better. The white labor experiment is showing promising results. On larger and rich- er mines white men, plus machinerv, can replace' natives, though the small- er mines, perhaps, must continue = to employ cheap native hand labor. FALL XILLS GIRL ACROBAT.

She missed the net also, and crashed through a wooden structure being erected for the next act. Horrified cries filled the cir- cus and women fainted. The girl died in ten minutes.
