t'ire ivlmberley and that arch enemy, Cecil Ilhodes. The reported departure of a lioer con tin;ort from Pretoria, with German artillery unner:. moving In a southerly direction. Is taken to mean co-cperatlon In the Invasion of the northern part of Cape Col

ony, an undertaking which, thus far, has r.ot progressed very rapidly. Reports of a trca?.iercus use of the white by the Uoers. coming from native r.iarcc?, are not received with complete credulity, tut at the same -time their reiteration is making an unfavorable impression. One paper asks sarcastically whether President Kruger's reference In his messas; to America to "staggerins humanity" n:er.nt the Kocrs use of the white fiag. A dispatch from Durban gives dcta'.l3 which, though rather indefinite, seem to show that the Natal volunteers are moving the big Etm, whifti are not sufficiently mobile fcr field use, from Estcourt to I'ietermarltzburg to assist in the defense of the latter In the event of an attack. Advices from Nauuwpoort. Cape Colony, filed Monday morning say that on learning that the Boers were relaying the rails at Norval's Pent the railway, department tho previous diy destroyed the culvert between Arundel and Tweendale. Tho Dally Mail has the following dispatch from Queenstown. Cape Colony, dated Sunday night: "The railway staff Is withdrawing from all the border stations between this and De Aar. There Is no cause for alarm, however, with reference to the border towns. General Duller has taken effective Ftepa to check the Boer advance. Censorship prevent particularizing; but you may expect good news toon." 4:3') a. m. There is practically no further news from the seat of war this morning. It Is asserted, under Sunday date from Estcourt. that General White received a mcsaje from Sir Itedvers Duller on Saturday. So far, however, no message appears to have been received In Indon from General White concerning Thursday's and Friday's sortie. A special dispatch from Pietermarltzburg dated Sunday, says: "It is confidently expected that railway communication will be restored with Ladysmlth within a few hours." Further details from Mafeking, carrying events up to Oct. 27, indicate that the Boer firing was faliig off, the garrison was in high spirits and the siege becoming a farce. The correspondent says that the people were in the habit of shouting from the house top?. "Ware shells," and that rabbit holes fcad been excavated in the town. Into which the men would dive when the smoke of the Boers big gun was seen. General Cronje Is accused of dropping shells In the direction of the women's laager. According to a dispatch from Kuruman, British Bechuanaiand, dated Monday, Col. Plumer'a column, marching from Fort Tuli to the relief of Mafeking, had seized Asogel Kop. opposite Oostsi, ten miles north of Lobatzl, on Oct. IS, and was nearing Mafeking. Her Majesty has written a letter of condolence to the mother of the late Commander Egerton, of the British cruller Powerful, who was fatally wounSed by the explosion of a shell at the bombardment of I-adysmlth cn Nov. 2, when, as a gunnery' lieutenant, he was In charge of one of the cruiser's big guns. nOMB AIlDMKVr RESUMED. Boers Reported to Have Renewed Their Attack on Ladyaniith. LONDON, Nov. 8. Dispatches from Natal Indicate that fighting is in progress near Ladysroith. Advices from Estcourt, dated Kov. 6, 10:40 a. m.. say: "The Natal field artillery left camp to-day, escorted by troops of the Imperial Light Horse, carbineers and Natal police. The destination of "the force Is unknown. Firing was heard this morning In tho direction of Colenso, from which. It Is believed, the Boers have resumed the bombardment of Ladysmlth." Another dispatch from Estcourt, dated Nov. 5, 5:20 p. m., says: "Brigadier General "Wolfe-Murray has received important dispatches from Ladysmlth by a runner, but their contents have nof yet been divulged. "The armored train, with a detachment of the Dublin Fusiliers and a railroad engineering staff, which left here for Colenso to repair the line yesterday evening and which also intended to go through to Ladyrmith If possible, has returned here. The commanding officer reports that he proceeded beyond Colenso- and found the dwellings there untouched. There had been no looting, except in the single case of a store vhlch was looted by Kaffirs. "Several prisoners were arrainged before General Wolfe-Murray this morning. "It is reported that the Boers are not within twenty miles of here. "The bullet holes In the uniforms of Durban volunteers show the narrowness of their 'escape from Fort Wyliey which was only effected after the heavy fire of the Dublin Fusiliers had inflicted severe loss on the Boers. A member of the garrison, who was hard pressed by the Boers, leaped into tho river amid a shower of bullets, crd, diving repeatedly, reached a far bank linscathd. "General French managed to leave Ladyffmith by the last train from there. Four mllea from Colenso the Boers fired on the train, but no one was hit. The general is going to Capo Town in order to take command of the cavalry. "The border regiment arrived here on Friday. "Substitute Inspector Petley, of the Natal police, says that his men alone, forming one WEATHER FORECAST. Fair To-Dny and To-Morrovr, with Fresh Southerly Wind. WASHINGTON, Nov. S.

"The Dublin Fusiliers ar being served with new kits, as they lo.ct everything in the retreat from Dundee. 'The colonial forces are already flight Ins in their nhlrt sleeves and It l expected that this will spread to all the forces before long. Detait!

Under a' heavy fire Lieutenant rem eroy, cf the Fifth Dragoon Guard?, pluckily rescued a dismounted trooper from the fire zone. The British casualties were slight. Tho moral effect is excellent." A dispatch from Durban, dated Nov. 5, says: "General Schalkberger, with 1,300 men, has arrived at Vryheld, on his way to Swaziland. It Is believed he Is going to Zululand. "The enrollment of the new Imperial Infantry Is proceeding apace at Durban and Pietermarltzburg. Murray's mounted volunteers have left Pietermarltzburg for the Moohr river. "News from the lower Tugela reports splendid work on the part of the Germans Lelow Umvoti. The mounted rifles have no volunteers more assiduous than tho Germans. "The preparations for the defense of Pietermarltzburg are in good shape. All the strong positions of the surrounding hills have been fortified. Thre has been a great influx of Colenso refugees at Pietermarltzburg. where the public buildings and stores have been given over to them. The population of Durban has been Increased 23.000 by the refugees, among whom there is considerable distress." A dispatch from General Duller says the press censor telegram of yesterday evening was obtained from Ladysmlth throughthe energy of the correspondent of the Dally Telegraph. The papers are already objecting to the holding of private newspaper dispatches. They admit the government is fully entitled to use the Information for its own purposes, but they think that wholesale confiscation is not justifiable. Another dispatch from Durban, dated Sunday evening, says: "Other information confirms the statement of native eyewitnesses respecting the severity of the fighting on both Friday and Saturday at Ladysmlth. The natives assert that the Boers were so cut up that they howled for mercy on the field and covered their bodies. Ladysmith is crowded with Boer prisoners and wounded, the latter presenting horrible evidence of the swordmanship of the cavalry. The Gordon Highlanders suffered severely in the fighting. "Mr. Burnard, proprietor of the railway hotel at Ladyymith, has arrived at Estcourt with a companion, having eluded the Boer outposts by night riding along Kaffir paths. He confirms the report that when General White requested that the women and children bo permitted to depart, General Joubert replied that he would only allow them to get away under the muzzles or fire of his guns. Mr. Burnard views the situation gravely and says that none of the British artillery is apparently able to cope with the Boer siege guns." Doer Account of a Rattle. CAPE TOWN, Sunday, Nov. 5. The following is an official description from Pretoria of the battle at Nicholson's Nek: "General Joubert was In supreme command. The British advanced in the darkness on our force on the right of the hill, formed by the Free Staters command of General Cronje. A stampede of their mules threw the whole force Into disorder. The British were observed in a long line on the plains in the direction of the Boers' center, along the Table hill, from which our artillery opened fire. The second shell fell in their midst. It was followed bv shot after 'shot, drawing the British concealed bat-: teries. From 6 to 12 o'clock the hill was a veritable Inferno of hissing fragments of shells. At first the British failed to reach the hill, while the Boer Are told heavily. Eventually the Dritlsh reached the Doers and showered shells on our' gunners. The Doers could only occasionally fire their guns. While a. wounded gunner bandaged himself another fought, oblivious to the fragments of shells at his back. Dr. Hohle was killed while bandaging the wounded. In the meanwhile the burghers got their howitzers further forward and into place and the extreme end of Meyer's battery got in deadly work." Tho remainder of the dispatch has not been received.

31AV INVADE THE FREE STATE. General French Likely to Command rart of the Brltiah Army. LONDON, Nov. S. Among the dispatches received here from South Africa was one stating that General French Is going from Natal to Cape Town. This Is taken as a confirmation of the statement already made by tho Associated Press that the main advance of the British forces will be through the open, Hat country of the Orange Free State and the southwestern part of the Transvaal. Otherwise so skillful a leader as General French would hardly have been withdrawn from Ladysmlth at the present time of stress. There Is much speculation about the next Boer move. It seems clear that it will be impossible for them to closely invest Ladysmith owing to the fortunate arrival of the long-range naval guns, which keep the Boers at least four miles off, making the circle of Investment about twenty-live miles In circumference, which, it is claimed, will be impossible for the Boer force to fully occupy. It Is beyond belief, however, that General Joubert will remain long inactive, and It Is conjectured here that his present quiescence is due to the fact that he is awaiting the arrival of heavy guns from Pretoria and Johannesburg to effectually bombard and render untenable the British position. Further reports of the Groblerskloof affair tend to confirm the statement that the British were successful. A Kaffir declares that fully one hundred Boers were killed on the hilltop by the "men-women," which is supposed to Indicate that the Gordon Highlanders were there. Cyclist scouts have since been across the Tugela bridge They saw a number of killed lying on the plain. Apparently, when the Colenso KarrLson evacuated that place, last Friday, the British troops missed a grand opportunity of carrying out an effective attack on the rear of the dL-voncerted Boers. Tne latter appear to believe the Colenso column evacuated the place as a rue and are lying in ambush to surprise them If they advance, hence the immunity of the town from occupation by the burghers. The news of a great victory which was circulated here last evening is not confirmed and th Boer loss reported by what may be designated "Kaffirf;rams" oukIu to bo greatly discounted, as the Kaffirs, knowing tho British wish to hear of Boer losst, are likely to supply them with reports to their tate. However, allowing for all exaggeration. General White appears to have Kiven General Joutert's forces several homi thrusts and the War Office Id justified In its contention to-day that the news demonstrates clearly that General White is able to mere than merely hold his own and can strike Mows cf such force as not only to lnsur the safety of I-ndystnlth. but probably-nls-o to have a telling effect on the duration and results of tho pending oj orations of General IiuIJer's army corps. In short, the War Ofhco. officials take a decidedly hopeful view of the entire situation and believe that even the advance action of tho British-forces at Ladysmlth have seen the worst days. - It Is hoped that the renewea charges of Boer violation of thr sanctity of the white llag originated In the lively Imagination of the Kaffirs. Though similar charjies have several times been made during the pres

ent campaign, and though official accounts report slmiiar acts in the former Transvaal war. there has not been any mention of such actions thus far in anv of the official reports received from General White and General Yule, who would surely have remonstrated against such conduct on the part of the Doers. AN AMERICAN WOMEN'S sIIIP.

Lady Randolph Churchill' Statement In HeKnnl to the Maine. LONDON, Nov. P.-At the request of the Ass-ociated Press La iy Randolph Churchill made, to-day, the following statement to American friends with regard to the project of American women in England of fitting out a hospital ship for use In South African waters: "The time for fitting out the Maine is so brief that I am glad to avail myself of the Associated Press to set the project fairly before the American public. The Interest manifested by Americans has already taken such tangible form frcm New York to San Francisco that I am sure an intimation that what remaining work there 13 to do must be done immediately .will spur the American public into a ready response to our needs. "There Is but one motive, one reason, for the project of sending a hospital ship to the Cape. We have had oratory and societies for the promotion of Anglo-American friendship. This Is the golden opportunity to put that expression of good will into tangible form. It 13 especially the province of American women to promote this cause, but It is woman's function to foster and nourish the suffering. American people are more adept at it, we believe, than others. "The Maine is to be essentially an American women's ship. We are not only to aid the wounded, but are to show the world that American women can do that good work better than any one else can do it. 1 am going to the Cape in the Maine, not because my son Is there, for he will be a thousand miles away, but because I want the generous efforts of American contributors to be carried out under the personal supervision of a member of the executive committee. I am going because I think I may prevent any kind of friction between the. American nurses whom Mrs. Whltelaw Reidjs sending out on Saturday, and the British officials, in cae such friction should arise. I contribute that much time and service gladly, and all our committee would do the same. The Maine will be a success and we hope American contributions', al ready given so generously, will, within the next few days. Insure that success bevond a doubt." LINT TO DR. LEYDS. Kragrcr'M Apeut rernonn Non Grata in the Netherlands. LONDON, Nov. 8. A special dispatch from The Hague says Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, has received a friendly Intimation that his visit to Holland during the war must cease. Charles T. Ritchie, president of the Board of Trade, speaking this evening in Loughton, paid a warm tribute to the "ready assistance and loyalty of the colonies displayed in a time of difficulty and danger," and to the friendly attitude of the United States, "which shows that the Americans are with us in the struggle for the freedom of our fellow-subjects in South Africa." William Waldorf Astor has contributed 1) to the Maidenhead branch of the national fund for the widows and orphans of the soldiers and sailors killed in the war and for the destitute wives and families of those now serving in South Africa. Wonnds Made by Mansers. CAPE TOWN, Nov. 5.-SIr Alfred Milner visited the wounded to-day. They are all doing well. Some of the wounds are. of an extraordinary nature. The Mauser bullet makes a clean perforation of bone and muscle. Soldiers shot through both cheekbones have lost the sense of smell and taste, but are otherwise quite well. Most of the wounds are In the hands or arms. The local volunteers have again expressed a desire of going to tho front.-' The Dutch of the colony maintain neutrality, though doubtless many in Bechuanaiand have Joined the Boers. Eleven American Parses. NEW YORK, Nov. S. Mrs. Whltelaw Reid received a cablegram to-day from Lady Randolph Churchill asking her to secure the services of several American trained nurses. The nurses will be expected to sail for South Africa within a week. Lady Churchill will pay all the expenses. Immediately upon receipt of the request Mrs. Reid drove to the Bellevue Training School for male nurses and conferred with Mrs. Ada Wlllard, the superintendent. Mrs. Wlllard furnished a list of nurses and eleven accepted the offer to go to the Transvaal. Pro-Boer Sympathizers Meet. HOLLAND, Mich., Nov. 8. Two thousand persons attended a mass meeting to-night held to express sympathy for the Boers. A committee was appointed to present resolutions to the President, urging this government to offer its services in the interest of peace. Funds will be collected here for Red Cross work In the Transvaal. This city is the center of a large Holland Dutch population, whose sympathies are naturally on the side of the Boers. N'o More Canadians Needed. OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 8. Lord MInto received a cable to-day from the imperial War Office stating that the second offer of troops for the Transvaal by Canada would not be accepted, as they were not required.

J., Nov. 8.-St. Mary's Episcopal Church, of Collestown, the oldest church In New Jersey, was destroyed by a fire of supposed Incendiary origin last night.

THE DECISION TO SMITH

IN A 20-ROtND BOLT tVITII CHARLEY M'lvEEVEll AT Nl'AV VOUIv. The Phllndelphlan Had All the Best of It for 11 Jtouml SharUey Blames Referee Sller-Sulllvan's Speech. NEW YORK, Nov. S. "Mysterious" Billy Smith defeated Charley McKeever, of Philadelphia. In a. twenty-round bout at catch weights at the Broadway Athletic Club to-night. Smith weighed H3 pounds and his opponent tipped the scales at about the same. Both men were in prime condition and the fight, was. fast, and Interesting from start to finish. McKeever used his left to good advantage 'in the opening rounds, sending straight jabs to the face and neck, and was as clever at close quarters as Smith. At the end of the third round McKeever landed two straight lefts on Smith's mouth. In the next he swung a right to Smith's jaw and there was plenty of hard and vicious infighting. In the sixth McKeever landed a left swing on Billy's stomach which made the mysterious boxer grunt. In the ninth Smith was almost taken off his feet by an upper cut from McKeever's left. McKeever put a straight left on the stomach, followed by a straight left on the mouth, in tho eleventh, and drew first blood by cutting Smith's eye with another left Jab. Smith replied with a similar blow, which raised r. lump over McKeever's left eye. From fc.li point Smith, who had had the worst of it, began to improve. In the twelfth he stepped in with a hard right on the wind. McKeever countered and Smith swung a heavy left on the jaw. In the thirteenth Smith swung- his left to the ye and McKeever landed hard on the kidneys. At the close of the round Smith drove a terrible left to the ribs. In the next two rounds bcth men continued to visit tho body with lefts and rights at close quarters. Therewere hard exchanges In tho next ou.r rounds and In the nineteenth, in a clinch. Smith threw Mac from him. the Philadelphlan going to the floor, where he remained nine seconds on one knee. Nothing more was done in this round. Many persons cried foul on account of Smith's work, but the referc paid no attention. In the final round Smith was very aggressive and got left and right to Mac's head, driving him to the ropes. Smith continued to force a terrific pace, getting all over his opponent, who landed tho last blow of the fight, a s-tralght left to the face, which rocked Smith's head. The referee declared Smith the winner. Smith was the favorite, odds of 100 to 50 and 100 to SO being laid on his chances. Tom Sharkey was introduced after the second nrellm'narv and In response to sev eral calls for a speech said: "I will leave It to the men who were down at Coney Island last Friday right and also to the general public whether George Siler gave mo a fair decision or not. It is now up to Jeff to meet me again. I am ready at any time, say two, four or six months, and will meet him for any amount up to $20,000." John L. Sullivan was called upon, for a speech. He met with a hearty reception and after thanking tho spectators for. their greeting, said: "I am a thing of the past and am not In It with the champions of tho present." When the big fellow left the ring he shook hands warmly with Sharkey and Terry McGovern, who were sitting in a box close by. PnRillsts Acquitted. PITTSBURG, Ta., Nov. 8.

The costs were imposed on the defendants. TAYLOR IS SAFE! (Concluded from First Pnge.l The Intention had been to have 1,000 votes, but we managed to prevent about COO." Republicans. Gain. Many Mayors. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 8. The result 'of the election in the State shows Republican victory and a gain of municipal offices In many of the cities. In Albany, which is normally Democratic, only three Democrats have been elected on the city and county tickets and the Common Council Is Republican. In Troy, the mayor-elect is an independent Democrat, elected to succeed Mayor Molloy. who Is a member of the state Democratic committee. In Rochester, the Republican organization, headed by George W. Aldrlch, elected its candidate for mayor over the present Democratic mayor, who was elected twice by large pluralities. In the city of Amsterdam a Democratic mayor is replaced by a Republican, Samuel Fallln. The Democrats re-elected Dewitt mayor of Binghamton by a plurality of 250 over Grlswold. Republican. In Utica, tfe Republicans gained, but the Democrats still control there. In the city of Rensselaer the Democrats made a gain, electing the mayor. CLEAN" SWEEP FOR DEMOCRATS. They Carry Maryland by 11,300 for State Ticket, and Win Legislature. BALTIMORE. Nov. . Unofficial returns from Baltimore city and all the counties of the State show that the Democrats swept practically everything before them In yesterday's contest. John Walter Smith, Dr. Joshua Hering and Isldor Rayner, their candidates for Governor, controller and attorney general, respectively, were elected over the Republican candidates by approximately 11.C00 majority. The official count. It is thought, will not materially change these figures. The Democrats elected eleven state senators for four-year terms, which, with their four hold-overs, will give them fifteen out of a total membership of twenty-six in the upper house of the General Assembly. In the lower house, composed of ninety-one members, the Democrats elected sixty-six, while the Republicans will have only twenty-five delegates In the Legislature to meet in January of next year. In Baltimore city the Democrats elected a Judge of the Court of Appeals, clerk of the City Court, sheriff, state's attorney, citv surveyor and three judges of the Orphans' Court. The plurality in Baltimore city of all the Democratic candidates runs close up to those of the leaders on the ticket, while In the counties local prejudices cut down the majorities of the successful candidates for local offices. Many theories have been advanced as to the cau.s? of the Democratic landslide, but a careful analysis shows that the Democratic independent voters supported Colonel Smith, while many disgruntled Republicans either remained away from the polls or cast their ballot for the Democratic candidates. A special election in the First congressional district will be made necesparv by the success of Colonel Smith as a candidate for Governor. SIIAAVS PLURALITY. Republican Candidate for Governor of Iowa Elected by tiO.OOO. DBS MOINES. la., Nov. 8.-Returns from ninety of the ninety-nine counties of the State, with estimates on the others, show that the Republican claim of 50,000 plurality for Governor Shaw Is easily maintained and may go slightly above that figure. His majority over all candidates for Governor is estimated at 4SJ0O, jvhlch is the largest In the history of the Sdate on the gubernatorial vote. Based on the vote of the vote this year show an Increase of about 3 per cent, for the Republicans and 10 per cent, for the Democrats, which would make the total Republican vote In the neighborhood of 243. and the total Democratic vote about 1J).000. But this Is a falling off from the vote of 17 of 6 and 10 per cent, respectively. The legislature will stand: Senate. .!" Republicans and 1. Democrats; House.

Additional reports received this evening from points in tho State make but little change in tho Republican majority, increasing it, however, from 3.S73 to 4.017. I'art of this Increase Is shown in Bonhomme county, where the early estimations gave tho Republican nominees 167 majority. Ten precincts in that county increase this to C2(I, and the county complete will show a still further increase.. Minor county complete gives the Republican ticket thirteen majority. The Republicans there also elected three county commissioners. The vote cast in that county testifies to the lack of interest on the part of the voters. Last year the county cast a total of 1,30) votes, whereas this year only 641 ballots were deposited. Union and Davison counties practically nullify each other's vote, the fusionists carrying the former by an average of about 1 majority, while the Republicans carried the latter by about the same figure.

BUYING ROLLING STOCK. Xew York Central Spendlncr ?S.OOO,000 for Xew Equipment. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. To meet the pressing demands made upon Its carrying capacity in consequence of the great business revival all over the country, the New York Central will spend $$,000,000 of $13,000,00) in hand for rolling stock. Many of the contracts already have been let and others will be given out as rapidly as the capacity of the locomotive and car construction companies will permit. One of the big items in this improvement is ninety locomotives, which already are In course of construction. Five of them will be equipped with the firebox invented by Cornelius Vanderbllt. Jr. This feature is not used from sentiment, but because the tests of the invention have teen thoroughly satisfactory. The advantages of the Vanderbllt firebox are that it gives greater heating surface, quickens the producing power and is easy to repair. All over the country the car shops are working to their full capacity. In many instances day and night shifts are being employed. Railroad companies are demanding quick completion of contracts and consignors are crying for a quicker delivery of freight. To meet the demands mad on it the New York Central has ordered 9.500 new freight cars. The contract has been placed with tho American Car and Foundry Company, which represents a consolidation of the car companies of ths country. There will be five thousand box cars, four thousand coal cars and five hundred flat cars. Another contract has been awarded to the Presstd Steel Car Company, of Pittsburg, for 2j) steel flat cars for heavy freight. Next month the first consignment of this new rolling stock will be received and put In service. In a short time contracts for fifty first-class passenger coaches will be let. "Iron is the surest barometer of the condition of trade," said Senator Depew. "It is more certain than the cereals, the manufacture of fabrics or nything else. The present demand for iron and steel surpasses anything ever known in trade. The rise in this trade barometer is reflected in everything which we produce. It Is also seen in the phenomenal movement and interchange of traffic. The demand upon the railroads to remove this unprecedented volume of business has been largely In excess of the railroad equipment. There is famine for cars on every line. Filling contracts for new ones will take nearly the whole of the coming year. I see no signs of advance in railroad rates. The results of the year for the railroads will come from the excess of tonnage over the rrevious record." AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. An Alleged Murderer Arrested for a Threefold Crime. LEAD, S. D., Nov. 8. Two detectives from Oregon to-day arrested a miner named James McArthur, who has lived for fourteen years In Little Spearflsh creek, northwest of this city. His arrest is for alleged triple murder in Oregon twenty-four years ago. McArthur lived on a farm in the southern part of Canada and while resisting arrest is said to have shot and kille-d an officer. He escaped and hired to an Oregon farmer. Shortly after this. It Is alleged, he got into a dispute with his employer and shot him dead, also killing the farmer's wife and five-year-old boy. McArthur again escaped and fled to the Black hills, where he has since resided. The detectives leave hert tomorrow with their prisoner for Oregon, where the Stato has offered $10,000 for his capture. SAMOA DIVIDEdT (Concluded from First Pace.) tain that a definite statement in writing or other tangible form will be given. Those best acquainted with the subject hold that Great Britain. Germany and Russia will coincide with the American view and that if any objection comes It Is likely to arise in France, as the French policy in Madagascar and Cochin China is to give preferential rates to French goods and make discriminations against foreign goods. From this it is Implied that France will not give a definite assurance that American commerce will be on equal terms in those parts of China where French spheres of influence prevail. Will Maintain the Open Door. LONDON, Nov. 9. The Morning Post publishes the following dispatch from Washington: "Negotiations In London have resulted in an agreement between Great Britain, China and the United States to maintain the 'open door in China, which power will undertake to develop both British and American trade. It Is understood that Germany and probably Russia will give the United States written assurances as to the malntalnance of the open door." 0 QUARREL. WITH SAMPSON. Rear Admiral Schley Objects to CrltlclHin of Ills Fellow-Officer. Washington Special. ashIngton and Baltimore newspaper men who went to Atlanta with Rear Admiral Schley bring back a pleasant story illustrative of the generosity and diplomacy of the man. He had noticed a disposition on the part of friendly newspapers on his route to make his visits the time for indulgence in Mings at Rear Admiral Sampson, and he did not like the association of his visits of courtesy with these newspaper pleasantries. He therefore determined to put a stop to the practice if It were In his power, and as the train approached the Georgia metropolis he took Correspondent Louis Garthe, of the Baltimore American, into his confidence. To Mr. Garthe he explained that some of his well-meaning friends were putting him in a false and intolerable position, and that If they did not stop making his presence amcng them the occasion for assaults on Rear Admiral Sampson it might give rise to a suspicion that he was inspiring them. He further explained that he had no quarrel with Admiral Sampson, and that neither in public nor private had he ever mentioned or alluded to his feiiow-ottlcer except in the spirit and language one gentleman should employ in referring to another. On no slnKle occasion had he deviated from that rule, and it was, therefore, unjust to him and to Rear Admiral Sampson to time unkind references to the latter as they had fallen into the habit of doing. "Now, Garthe," he said, in conclusion. "I want you to ask the newspaper boys of Atlanta as a special and personal favor to me to avoid unpleasant mention of Rear Admiral Sampson. You can tell them, in order to make it strong, that a failure to observe this request will work me great Injury. The practice must stop; that's all there is to It." Mr. Garthe did as requested. He called "the boys" together and told them the situation. The result was a scrupulous observance of the wishes of the distlngulshetd guest, although a lot of anti-Sampson ammunition had been laid in. HOW TO PACK A SHIP WITH 3IEX. 3Iethod by Which the Sooth African Army Corp Embarked. London Times. Moving troops by sea is such an integral and essential part of our military business that constant practice has gone far to perfect the system in force. But the general public will hardly be familiar with the proceeding as it was carried out yesterday, :-rd will be elsewhere, at Glasgow, Tilbury, the London decks, Cork, etc., during the next week or uvu. It may well be de-scrlbed therelore In some dt-tall. taking the case of Infantry as the simplest and quickest In application. The whole aim and objett of the orders issued were to prevent confusion or delay at any point by providing against every mischance.

PENNSYLVANIA ST sack. The helmets were to be packed away Immediately after the embarkation. For ordinary wear ou board the men were iirovided with the conventional blue night cap. Southampton docks are admirably adapted for the embarkation of large bodies of troops. There is deep water to the very edge of the extensive wharfage, and th largest steamers can lie alongside ready to fill up with their living freight?, while the many enormoua open warehouses were available as covered troop sheds?. The orders issued for detraining were simple, but complete. The first to leave a train on its arrival in the dock was the commanding officer, with his adjutant, sergeant major and bugler; next a marker from each company alighted, while the company officers stood by the carriage doors occupied by their own men. At the s.gr.al each company fell In on Its markers, the regiment in quarter column, each company in turn disposing of its rifles and valises, then making way for the one behind. For this purpose a chain of men was formed or each flank leading across a gangway, one fore and ono aft; by one the rifles were handed along to be deposited in the armory, by the other the valises In the ruiib way- to their particular atcreroom. Then each companj having moved to fresh, ground, was divided up into messes, and each mess, escorted by its own noncommissioned officer, filed by a third distinct gangway on board, and so down to tut troojj decks. These maneuvers were conducted without intermission for several hours, and wltri unfailing clocklike mechanical precisions It was almost automatic; no one gave orders, there was not the slightest fuss or flurry, tvery one In every rank knew exactly what he had to do. The result only was presently apparent, and In a marked degree, by the steady filling up of the thips and their prompt readiness for sea. 3Ir. Hobart Ate Too Mnny Dinner. Washington Letter.. If Mr. Hobart had followed the quiet lif which he led at Paterson It Is the belief of the physicians that he would be a well man to-day. He is tufftrlng, as many eminent and popular men have, for social success in Wasnington. No Vice President of the United States for a generation has been as popular in society as Mr. Hobart. No man in Washington has been In such constant demand as a guest at the elaborate twelve-course dinner? which are the custom Of the rich in WnsMnr'trm - - - - - - 'r a- a . bart said at the end of the last session of Congress a session which lasted from the first Monday in December until the 4trt of March, only ninety days that he had uitended eighty-nine dinners in succession. While he was always temperate in the use of wines, he was as fond of rood things to eat as he was of good fellowship and good society, and the mortal Illness which has overtaken him Is another proof of the fact, so often stated by physicians, that no man. no matter how vigorous, can long survive if he allows himself to eat twelve-course dinners every night. Mr. Hobarfs strong constitution was equal to any amount of work, but not to the epicurean life of Washington. The eighty-nine twelve-course dinners of widen he spoke as an incident of his life were really his death warrant. Tralnload of IVuIt Wrecked. CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Nov. 8.

Many a man sees his wife bend and tog at burdens that etrain the back and the heart alike, without any idea of the outrage. Children follow in too quick succession to allow the mother time to recuperate. The womanly organ become displaced, there are debilitating, disagreeable drains, with the added pain of inflamed or ulcerated parts. ( In this condition the woman bravely tries to cany her household load, afraid to take the rest she needs lest a meal will be late. No wonder she is pale, weak, wretched, surly of temper ana snappish of tongue. She would be false to nature if she were anything else. No persons need help so much as the class of whom this woman is the type. And fox such women no help is so sure, eo wonderful, as that given by Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It restores all the womanly organs to perfect health. It establishes regularity, in their functions. It restores the strained and shattered nervous system.
