' 'vVhlle tfce pigeon dispatch shows the beleaguered garrison at Ladysmith was holding Its own yesterday, It Is feared here that the silence regarding what the British artillery was doing in reply to the Boer guns Indicates that the dread that General White I short of long-range ammunition is not altogether groundless. If this is true the reported further destruction of the railroad rear Colenso assumes greater importance. One very serious passage In General White's message gives the first official cor.ilrmation of the statements of Boer treachery, where there has been a disposition hitherto to discredit, but which must now be accepted as at least partly true. The War Office this evening issued the following from Genera! Buller, dated Cape Town. Nov. 10. 12:40 p. m.: "By message fromBuIuwayo, dated Nov. 3: 'A small convoy and escort, under Spreckley, of Plumcr's force, was attacked by Boers. Nov. 2. Six men missing and lost convoy " The War Office has also issued the following: "A report having appeared In the South African papers that our artillery fired on the Geneva flag. General Buller telegraphs the following account of the incident given to the Standard and Diggers' News by the Rev. Mr. Martens, a Dutch clergyman with the Boers: - " 'Directly after the first cannon shot the English thought our men were at the railway station and fired there. They were not, but one of the shots went through an ambulance. As soon as they found their mistake they ceased firing "The ambulance, in accordance with the usages, should have been three miles from the fieid of battle, so the enemy cannot claim the Knglish broke the usages of civilized warfare, but I do not think the English would have fired on them had they known this. It was unintentional." IIILLKR TO HAVE 05,000 MEX.

All Expected to Be Landed in South Africa Iy Chrlntuiun. LONDON. Nov. 10. It Is believed here that the British advance from Durban against the combined armies of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, now operating- at and near Dadysmith. will begin in a few days, although the work of driving the enemy back through the mountain passes may not be well under way until Christmas. By that time General Buller's forces will aggregate about 93,000 men. This Includes the additional divisions announced by General Wolseley at the lord mayor's banquet last night. The Ptlnce of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and Lord Wolseley reviewed three squadrons of the household cavalry at the barracks this- afternoon previous to their departure for South Africa. The Prince of Wales and his party were greeted with a royal salute. After the parade the prince congratulated the troops. He said he was proud to be their honorary colonel, was convinced that they would give a good account of themselves and added his heart would be with them across the sea. His Royal Hlghne-9 also wished the soldiers a safe return. The transport Moore, having on board the officers of the staff of three divisions of the army corps on Its way to South Africa, arrived at Cape Town at 9:30 o'clock this morning. With the arrival of tho P.owlln Castle at Cape Town yesterday and the Moore to-day, to be followed by a continuous succession of troop-laden ships, the real campaign In South Africa may be said to have commenced, and the fact that the first named ship was ordered to proceed to Durban, Natal, forthwith Is said to indicate at least a modification In the plan of advance. It seems that General Buller's first move will be to free General White, thus somewhat departing from the earlier plan credited to him of advancing through the level country of the Orange Free State and southwestern Transvaal. It has been apparent for several days that the situation at Ladysmlth could not be Indefinitely prolonged, and It Is understood that informa tion has reached London that the quiescence of the Boers will shortly be chajiged by the arrival of the siege train from Pretoria Into a determined attempt to deliver a telling stroke. This, it Is added, led Gen. Buller to prepare a counter stroke and endeavor to push the Boers back by a direct attack. Such an operation, if attempted, will necessarily entail great expenditure of life, as during the month the Boers have occupied northern Natal they have fortified most of the passes and other position suitable to their, style of fighting. Tenders for 3.1if0.0uo in treasury bills, the first installment of the war fund, were opened to-day. The total of the applications amounted to 10, 721.ua. The issue was allotted as follows: Two million pounds at six months and JLl.000.uw) at twelve months. The average rates per cent, were 3 ISs 2d for the six-months bills and 3 Os jd for the twelve-months bills. Orders for the mobilization of the necessary reserves for th supplementary division announced by Lord Wolseley, were issued this evening. The men will join between Nov 13 to Nov. 'M.

FOUGHT A HARD DRAW. Dave Sullivan and Joe IlernMeln at the Broadway Club. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Dave Sullivan and Joe Bernstein fought a twenty-five-round draw to-night at the Broadway Athletic Club. Sullivan outfought Bernstein. He led, forced and landed, while the other man blocked and remained on the defensive during the majority of the rounds. Left jabs from Bernstein cut and bled Sullivan early In the fight. At the end of the sixth round Sullivan's face waa covered with blood. His nose and mouth were bleeding and each time Bernstein's left hand reached his face the glove was besmeared with blood and the Irish' lad's countenance more repulsive. Dave sent right and left to body, and k?pt Bernstein guessing with right and, left swings to the head. In the tenth round Bernstein's left did wonderful work, visiting Dave's face and body frequently, the Irishman returning with hard lefts, which landed on the stomach and over the heart. Ud to the nineteenth round the fight was fairly even, but in this round Bernstein sent i his right over tne mark and Dave went to his corner groggy. Dave came out strong In the twentieth, however, and forced the i fighting with renewed energy. lie drove Bernstein ail over the ring with left to head and right and left on the wind, to which Bernstein countered feebly. This lasted until the gong closed the contest at the end of the twenty-fifth round. 31 off at Defeats Purcell. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. Jack Moffat, the Chicago middleweight, won an easy victory over Frank Purcell, of California, before the Fort Dearborn Athletic Club to-night. The fight went the six-round limit, but the Callfornian was weak and groggy at the final gong. Moffat had a long lead in every round, repeatedly landing right and left to the jaw and stomach. Purcell assumed the aggressive in the first round, but as he got decidedly the worst of the first mix-up. be quickly changed his tactics and remained on the defensive the remainder of the bout.

CHIEF iLFST AT THIS Il.WQl ET OF THE WALT Ell SCOTT CI. I'll. .Speech In Which He Itefcrred to i:nluml inI A nierlcn Tumult In the French Senate. EDINB17RG, Nov. 10. Joseph II. Choate. the United States ambassador, who was the chief guest at the annual banquet of the Walter Scott Club this evening, met with an enthusiastic reception. Sir Herbert Maxwell, who presided, made a cordial reference to the friendship that seals England and America. In the course of a speech proposing the toast to literature, Mr. Cuoate said: "Truly your country and mine are connected by bonds of sympathy that were never stronger and closer than they are at this very hour. I can assure you that Lord Salisbury's generous and cordial words at the lord mayor's banquet yesterday will meet with a quick and hearty response beyond the Atlantic. It has been said by a great poet that 'Peace hath her victories not less renowned than war," and this Ironclad friendship which now prevails between these two kindred nations Is her latest and greatest victoryl It means peace not merely between your country and mine, but among all the great nations of the earth, and it tends, by advancing civilization, to promote the welfare of the whole human race." The remainder of a much-applauded address was devoted to a humorous comparison between American and Scottish character as Illustrated in every day life and to a eulogy of Sir Walter Scott. Andrew Lang responded to the toast. NOISV FRENCHMEN. An Excltinff- Session of the Senate Conaplrutors Applauded. PARIS, Nov. 10. The Senate, sitting as a high court, resumed to-day, calling the names of witnesses In the conspiracy cases, which led to violent scenes. President Fallieres vainly tried to preserve silence, and some of the witnesses had to be removed By the ushers. When M. Montell's name was called the tumult Increased. There were loud cries of "Vive Guerin!" "Vive Deroulede!" "Abas los Juifes!" while from outride the Senate could bo heard the strains of the "Marseillaise." A witness who thundered "Vive Deroulede!" "Vive l'armee!" was arrested by order of M. Fallieres, amidst the protests of the other witnesses. Finally partial order was restored and the persons arrested were released. M. Fallieres then read the conclusions of counsel, a ho held that the Senate was incompetent to hear the case. The session was afterward suspended. During the suspension of the sitting a newspaper vender named Rimbart, oie of M. Guerin's witnesses, violently assaulted another witness, whom he accused of being a police agent. The Municipal Guards seized Rimbart, who drew a revolver. He was incarcerated. The Senate resumed Its session during the evening and heard further arguments of the defending counsel, who submitted that the Senate is incompetent to try the conspiracy case. The Senate then adjourned. HOLD MOVE II V RUSSIA. llnmor that the Czur Troops Are March i uk Toward Afghanistan.

Secretary Root feels no concern over the transfer of Agulnaldo's base of operations to Uayombong. The Secretary said to-day that the move was distinctly retrograde and in the naiure of a retreat after finding his former base was untenable.

11 E 31 A 11 K A B I.E CAREER OF A IMIOte(;e of gex. c. s. grant. Once a Paymaster, Once Honored In Jnunn, hut -Now u Common Soldier In the lnited Mates Army Washington Letter. The recently told story of James R. Wasson. once a major In the army and the bosom friend, coach and classmate of Gen. Fred D. Grant at West Point, as well as the protege of President Grant, was only a suggestion of the real tragedy of Wasson's life. The story of his meteoric career and subsequent fall has its sequel in his ba ng made a sergeant in the Forty-sixth Regiment at the age of fifty-three years. Secretary Root was appealed to a few weeks ago and was so touched by Wasson's story and the sincerity of his contrition that he made his an almost unprecedented case and allowed him to enter the ranks in this humble capacity. The touching meeting in Washington be tween Wasson, who came to receive his new appointment, and many of his former friends was intensely dramatic and will not soon bo forgotten by those who witnessed it. Wasson's story sounds like Action Instead of the official report of the army register. Its similarity to the story of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter only adds to Its interest. Wasson was born of intelligent German parents in Ohio. He enlisted in the Thirty-. curth Iowa Volunteers in 1SG4, and was en gaged in tho Red river campaign. His apti tude for military life and an Intellect of scintillating brilliancy made it an easy matter for him to receive, at the age of twenty-one, an appointment to West Point n 1SC7. General Fred D. Grant had been appointed the year before, and though Was son had been but a common soldier, he was scught for and made the fast friend of the son of the President. It was an easy matte for Wasson to keep to the front in his studies and still find time to coach his f i lend, who showed less aptitude. President Grant favored tho friendship and showed the greatest appreciation of Wasson's kindness, inviting him as a guest to the white louse. When the two friends graduated in 1871 Wasson tood at the head of his class and received the commission of second lieu tenant. His fame as a civil engineer had already spread beyond the academy, and when President Grant was asked by the Japanese minfcster for a brilliant officer of unlmptacnable character to fill the chair of mathematics in the College of Hok'kaldo, he mmcdlAtely bethought him or nis sxjn j friend, and arming him with the strongest indorsements to Minister Bingham and the Japane&u Court, retired him from the army and sent hint on the mission. After a year's service he became the sur-veyor-in-chlef to the Kaltakaski of HokIvaldo. Later he was made chief engineer, with the rank of colonel (chuza) In tne imperial army of Japan, being engaged In the Formosa campaign, where his services were most distinguished. That over he again took the chair of civil engineer in the Imperial University of Tokio. Honors came freely, to one so intelligent, so brave, so kind; he was the courted favorite of all and was made a member of the Imperial Order of Merit, of Melpl and received the decoration of the Rising Sun of that order for his gallant and faithful services in the Formosa campaign in li74. MARRIED BINGHAM'S DAUGHTER. Wasson's dashing gallantry and scholarly attainments at once won him a warm place In the friendship of John A. Bingham, our minister to Japan at that time. Bingham's own career had been one of marked brilliancy. He had served many years in Congress with great prominence and credit, and in 1SC4 was appointed by President Lincoln judge advocate in the army. It seemed al most an appalling coincidence that he he should have served as special judge ad vocate at the trial of Lincoln's assassins. Later he returned to Congress and made a brilliant record when appointed minister to Japan. In Bingham's family was a beautiful daughter. asson was then a superb young officer with frank blue eyes and a low Hawing muatache, so favored with manly beauty that he awakened admiration wherever he went. He wooed and won Bingham's lovely daughter, and the wedding was one of the grandest events of that country at the time. Foreigners of high rank and Americans of wealth and position vied with one another In lavish gifts and attention to the couple. President Grant sending an almost princely gift. liut at last Wasson's heart seemed satiated with the honors given him by a foreign country, and in 1876 he returned, to America. He came at once to Washington, where he was affectionately greeted by his admiring friends. None were heartier In welcoming him back than was the Pres ident and his family. One who had found it so easy to win laurels In foreign lands had out to ask ana it was given to him. Pres ident urant learned or his desire for an opening here and with a well-remembered remark: "I took Wasson out of the army and now I will have to put him back." at once made him paymaster, with the rank of major. V-a?son fulfilled the duties of his office regularly for some time. But he was lo cated In San Antonio, Tex., and associated witn daringly recKiess men. Separated from tne environments to which, years of association had accustomed him. he soon soueht solace in the pastimes of the men around him. He became a frequent euest at the gaming table. He engaged in small friendly games; tnese were out to lure-hlm on. He fell into the maddening vortex with all the passion of a strong nature. His income was inadequate to the terrible demand made, upon it. He lost heavily and sought to retrieve. He borrowed It from the government, out of money left In his keeping for disbursement. His downfall was assured. He was drawn deeper and deeier Into the whirlpool of crime, out mere was tne hope of winning it all back and saving his honored name. The crisis came at last; he could no longer hide the defalcation. The pay of the troops at Fort Davis was due. They were even then waiting ior tne money. He must resort to strategy. His brilliant mind soon formed a plan, and before his heart failed him he hastened to carry it out. PLAN TO DECEIVE. He left Fort Worth at 10:00 o'clock on the evening of April CO, 1SH3. He had as a companion Mr. Noble, the disbursing clerk. In his hand he carried a small tan leather box. It was supposed to contain S.OOO. No one but Wasson himself knew that it was empty. Even then his plan had not fully developed, but a reconnoitre through Xha train completed it. In one of the smokers he found a party of Texas Hangers, who, having taken possession of the car, rilled it with obscene songs and profanity. He might provoke them to an altercation and may, be1 but life was dear to him, and there were those he loved and for whom he must take the mo.it desperate chance. He returned to his own car. In It were four quiet, but sullen-looking men. Dis plan was at last ripe. Robbery was always plausible. He retired biter, placing the leather bag behind him in his berth. The moonlight streamed In thiough the little car window and made him afraid of the dastardly fraud. As he wrote to Major Charles M. Terrill. chief paymaster of the Department of Texas: "I slept lightly; the moonlight streamed in over me until, thinking that was what awakened me, 1 lowered the curtain." He was called at 6:.T0 by the porter, and at once missed the bag. The four darkbrowed men in the car the night before were missing also. Two had left at Cisco before daybreak, and two at Uaird a little later. Tin- conductor was called and search was made for the bag. He called upon a sheriff at the next station and told of the suspicious conduct of the trainmen in not telling him that they had on board a lot of rangers. Another sheriff was later dispatched with Mr. Noble to search the; car. He returned to Worth. From thrre he sent a most dramatic appeal to Paymaster Terrill. reciting the Journey, the disastrous loss of t-J.W). and his suspicions in the matter. Terrill telegraphed to Washington. The remark of the paymaster on receiving the news ar.d the belief that Wasson had himself stolen the money, was "Wasson is all right. President Grant trusted him." Nevertheless, Wasson was arrested and trl-d by court-martial at San Antonio. Tix.. and pleaded guilty to every charge. He made no effort to conceal even his plans for deceiving the government, and . told how he had made false checks. His tragic downfall culminated when President Arthur, on July 3, 1S., signed tiiA docuaient s&u-tenclnj? him to eighteen

months In the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and dismissing him from the army. While serving his term he engineered the famous roadway from Leavenworth to the fort and did other valuable work for the government. .The greater part of the $29,000 was subsequently recovered. Part of It was found secrete!, and a large amount of It was paid through gambling elebts. When released Wasson was a reformed man. His pa.vion for gambling and drinking had had a quienus In the conllntme-nt to hard work for eighteen months. He went to Dcs Moines. Ia., and began the practice of law, and for yecrs ha.? led a life of retribjtlon. As he passed through the War Department the other day to bid adieu to his Fon and frier.cL?. no one could doubt his contrition. From the dashing, brilliant engineer whose floating blonde mustache was the envy of all his brother officers, he has become a gray-haired man, bowed with the weight of admitted guilt. His plea that the last days of his life might be given ta the service of his country was most touching and caused Secretary Root to allow him to be enlisted as a sergeant and live down his past In a new country. As the gifted, courteous old man walked the corridors of the War Department preparatory to leaving for Manila no one could doubt his sincerity and remorse. That there in much that is Unable and loyal In his life Is evinced by hie son's tender care and solicitude for him. DESERTIONS BY WHOLESALE. 20O 31emler of the Forty-Third IlrifIment Take French Leave. . BURLINGTON, Vt, Nov. lO.-Offlcers of the Forty-third Infantry, at Fort Ethan Allen, were perturbed this morning when they found that a larga part of the regiment had taken "French leave." The men were paid off yesterday and those contemplating desertion were waiting for the money. The officers admit that 120 privates and noncommissioned officers ran away last night, and the number that deserted In the last four weeks will swell the list to 200. Probably twenty or thirty of the men will return and report for duty before the regiment starts for New York to embark on the transport Meade on Monday. Last night many of the soldiers visited the clothing stores in this city and bought civilian clothing. They went down to the wharf and discarded their uniforms, throwing them behind lumber piles and into the lake.. Twelve uniforms were found this morning behind the railroad station and fifteen more were found on the wharf. No steps have been taken by Colonel Murray to recapture the deserters. The regiment will start for the Philippines next week as though nothing unusual had happened. MR. HOBART RALLYING. He Is Able to Sit In a Cbnir and Scan the Newspaper. PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 10. There was another change for the better In Vice President Hobart's condition to-day. He was able to sit up In a chair In his room aiid picked up a newspaper and examined It, eventually turning to Mrs. Hobart and asking her to read for him. The patient was evidently stronger to-day, and took more nourishment than at any time since his bad attack of nearly two weeks ago. Despite the statement of attending physicians the family still has hopes of his ultimate recovery. They were much encouraged by the fact that he was able to sit up such a long period of time and by the way in which he apparently relished his food. LOZENGE IN HIS THROAT. Traveling Sn legman DIen of Strangulation in a. Vlncoiialn Hotel. OSIIKOSir, Wis.. Nov. 10.-O.NR. Ryan, a traveling man in the employ of the Lowe Silverware Manufacturing Company of Chicago, died suddenly and In great agony at the hotel this evening. He had been suffering with sore throat, and a bell boy who answered a hurried call to his room found him gasping and writhing In agony. He told the doctors a lozenge he attempted to Hwallow had "gone the wrong way." All efforts to relieve him failed and he died apparently from suffocation. He Hvtd at Iteedsburg, Wis. A QUACK'S AtTIIlIOC;ilAlIIY. The Ileoinnlnjr of Dr. Weir Mitchell 'ev Story in the Century. Dr. Weir Mitchell begins In the November Century a grimly humorous tale entitled "The Autobiography of a Quack." How the autobiography came to be written Is told In the opening paragraphs: At this present moment of time I am what the doctors call an Interesting cawe, and am to be found in bed No. 10. Ward 11, Massachusetts General Hospital. I am told that I have what is called Addison's dLsease, and that it is this pleasing malady which causes me to be covered with large blotches of a dark mulatto tint. However, it is a rather grim subject to Joke aimui. because, if 1 believed the doctor who comes around every day, and thumps me. and listens to my chest with as much pleasure as if I were music all through I say. if I really believed him, 1 should suppose i was going to die. The fact Is, I don't believe him at all. Some of these days I shall take a turn and get about again, but meanwhile It is rather dull for a stirring, active person like me to have to lie still and watch myself getting bis brown and yellow spots all over me, like a map that has taken to growing. The man on my right has consumption smells of cod liver oil and coughs all night. The man on my left is a down-easter with a liver which has struck work: loks like a human pumpkin: and how he contrives to whittle jackstraws all day, and eat as he does, I can't understand. 1 have tried reading and tried whittling, but they don't either of them satisfy me, so that yesterday I concluded to ask the doctor If he couldn't suggest some other amusement. I waited until he had gone through the ward, and then seized my chance, and asked him to stop a moment. "Well, my man." t-ald h. "what do you want?" 1 thought him rather disrespectful, but I replied. "Something to do. doctor." He thDU-rht a little and then said: "I'll tell you what to do. I think If you wre to v rrte out a plain account or your life. It vould be pretty well worth rending and perhaps would .-erve to ooe-upy you for a few days, at least. If half ttt what you told ne last wnk o- true you must be about ns clever a rami) as there Is to be met with .ord I sup:ose you would Just as lief put It on paper as talk it. "Pretty nearly," .a!d I. "I think I will trv it. doctor." After h" left I lay awhile thinking over t)(i matter. 1 knew well that I was what tl-o world calls a scamp arid I knv also that 1 had got little good out of the fact If a man Is what people e-all virtuous and fails In life be sets crellt at least f'r the virtue: but when a man is a Is well, one of liberal vk'Wo and breaks down somehow cr other people don't credit him even with the intelligence he has1 put Into the bus-i-n-s. This I call bird. If I did not remit with satisfaction the enertry and skill with which I did my work I should be nothing but disgtited at the melancholy finctacie of my failure. I siipioe thit I nhall at lestst line! o-cuiat Ion In reviewing all this, and I think, therefore, for my own satisfaction I shall try to amuse my convalescence by writing a plain, straightforward account of the life I have led and th various devices by which I have sought to get my share of the money of my countrymin.

Cemetery Kmploye Who Killed Major Fltapatrirk Lunt June. MOUND CITY, 111., Nov. lO.-Since June 21 last, when Michael Tobln murdered MaJ, Thomas A. FItzpatrick, of this city, the whereabouts of Tobln remained a mystery until to-day. This afternoon his skeleton was found under a tree In the woods two miles northeast of here. The bones were Intact, showing that the body had reclined against the tree. Between the legs was tho shotgun which killed FItzpatrick. A string was attached to the right foot and to tho trigger of the gun. Tobln had undoubtedly committed suicide by discharging a load of shot into his mouth, the crown of the head being blown on:. Major FItzpatrick was superintendent of the National Cemetery,, of this city. Tobln had been one of his employes for six years. A few days previous to the tragedy the major had notihed Tobln that he would have to dispense with his services. Tobin brooded over this until, on June 21, he walked up to his victim and sent a heavy charge of shot into the major's chest. Death was Instantaneous. Tobln at once fled. Bloodhounds were put on the trail and large rewards were offered, but without results. DocTons ix Tin; way. Difficulty of Inwtltutliijr n Sanitary Reform In Xev York. Jacob A. Itlis. in November Atlantic. Those early steps In the reform path stumbled sadly at times over obstacles that showed how dense was tho Ignorance andl how rank the prejudices we had to fiRht. When I wrote that the Allen-street school was overrun by rata, which was a fact anyone might observe for himself by spending rive minutes In the buildings, I was called sharply to account by the mayor In the board ot estimate and apportionment. There were no rats, he said. The Allenfitreet nchool was the worst of them all, and I determined that the time had come to make a demonstration. I procured a rat trap, and was waiting for an idle hour to go over and catch or of the rats, so that I might have it stuffed and sent to the board over which the mayor presided, an a convincing exhibit; but before I got so far, reform swept the whole conspiracy of ignorance and Jobbery out of the City Hall. That was well enough so far as it went; but that the broom was needed elsewhere we learned later, when the good government clubs fought for the iTipectionaf the schools and of the children by trained oculiftts. The evidence as that the pupils were made both near-sighted and stupid by the want of proper arrangement of their seats and of themselves In the classroom. The fact was not denied, and the scheme wan strongly Indorsed by the Board of Health; but it was wrecked upon the opiosltlon of the medical profeIon, which, with honorable exceptions, set up a claim that It would 'interfere with private practice. and so curtail the profits of the practitioner. The inspection of th classes dally for evidence of contagious disease, which has proved a most effective mean: of preventing the spread of epidemics, was oT.ly wcurcel upon the Implied understanding that th physician engaged in this service should abstain from giving professional treatment In any cas. It 1? very well to prate about the rapacity of politicians, but these things came often enough to show what he meant by his claim that he was "closer to the people" than we who were trying to help them, and they vere all the more exasperating because they came rarely from below the tenement people were ready and eajrer to fall in with, any plan for bettering things, notably where It conce-rned the school but usually from thoso who knew better and from whom w had a right to exject support and backing.
