DISAPPOINTMENT IN LONDON VOLl'XTEimS DIU 3VOT RETURN IX TIJ1E FOIl JUBILATION. Street of the IMk City Crowded on Xnturilny in Anticipation of Arrival of the Imperials. LONDON, Oct. 27. A dispatch received at the "War Office from Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria,. Friday, Oct. 25 referring to the fighting of General Barton's column with General De Wet's forces Oct. 23, says: "The British losses were heavier than at first reiiortcd. An additional officer and twelve men were killed and three officers and twenty-five men were wounded. The Boers left twenty-four dead and nineteen wounded on the field, and twenty-six Boers were made prisoners. Three Boers who held up their hands in token of surrender and then fired on the British were court-martialed, convicted and sentenced to death. ( I have confirmed the sentence." The dispatch also refers to minor affairs in which the troops of General Kitchener and General Methuen were engaged, and a serious incident between Sprl.ngfonteln and Phllippolis, Orange River Colony, where fifty cavalrymen were ambushed and captured by the Boera. only seven of the party escaping. Another dispatch from Lord Roberts says: "Barton attacked the ubiquitous De Wet near Frederickstad. The Boers were scattered in all directions." Tho news of the guerrilla successes in South Africa which has been received during the last few days has prompted some of the more serious publications to sound notes of alarm. The Saturday Review begs Lord Roberts to take "a lesson from one who was a greater soldier than hei namely, Caesar, and ruthlessly suppress thb rebellion." "The truest mercy in the present case," says the Globe, "Is to be merciless." That fairly voices the average opinion of the government organs, while a few out-and-out radical organs scarcely conceal their satisfaction arising from their ability to say "I told you so," In reference to the war being long-drawn-out and engendering racial hatred that a century will not dissipate. An encounter as dramatic as any that marked the battle fields, of South Africa may shortly occur at Marseilles. The plan cf Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, to go to Marseilles to meet Mrs. Chamberlain, who is now at Alx-les-Balnes, will more than probably be effected just about the time that Mr. Kruprer is arriving at the same port on the Dutch cruiser Gelderland. Judging from the tone of the French public opinion the simultaneous arrival of these two leading figures in the late world drama would afford opportunities for demonstrations not too pleasant for Mr. Chamberlain, and which might possibly cause international complications that would be hard to settle peaceably. What is freer from supposition and. perhaps, more vitally concerns Great Britain Is Lord Robbery's reappearance before the public and his enunciation of a new definition of imperialism. Speaking on Friday before a meeting of the Christian Social Union, this versatile and brilliant figure in British politics struck a note which meets with universal approval from all sections of the Liberals, even thoso who were most bltterlv opposed to the former leader. "Imperialism," he declared, 'depends cn the integrity and heart of the empire for its virtue." Continuing. Lord Rosebery said: "What Is an empire unleca it is pillared on an imperial race? The heart cf the empire la Crc-t LTxitiia. tri Ua tsirt of Crct

Britain is London. You cannot afford to let the source and center of the empire decay or be poisoned, and this is what you are doing if you allow this imperial race to be vitiated and poisoned in the density of crime and horror in which too many of them are reared at this moment. Lord Rosebery's subtle turn In making the virtue of imperialism depend upon internal reform has .opened a door to the malcontents, and the Star, which fought his Lordship tooth and nail, to-day declares "this is the true and only imperialism for this empire of Great Britain." Sir Henry Campbell-P.annerman, who has been the Liberal leader In. the House of Commons up to the present, is said to be ready to accept Lord Rosebery's leadership. Combining this with the former premier's (Rosebery's) partial retirement from the turf, the expectation is rife that he will return, to the arena of active politics and make the fight of his life against the "mammoth majority" of the present government. It is Interesting to observe, while speaking of the next Parliament, that a task confronts the speaker of the House, of Commons before he masters the personnel of the new House. It includes no less than eight Wilsons, four Balfours, four Smiths, four Thomases, four O'Briens and four Murrays, to say nothing of a dozen trios of similarly named members and a perfect maze of couples. The celebration on the return to England of the city of London imperial volunteers has been postponed until Monday on account of the lateness of the arrival of the steamship Aurania, which has . the troops on board. The vessel did not dock at Southampton until 4 o'clock this afternoon. By 10:30 this morning, however, the streets, of London were swarming with expectant crowds who were ignorant of the postponement. The announcement of the nonarrival of the volunteers and the postponement of the pageant was a great disappointment to many thousands. People from all parts of the country aimlessly walked over the route of the proposed Earade. The throngs were so great that uslness was practically suspended and traffic disorganized. The next big celebration will probably occur on Monday, Nov. 10,- when General Buller Is due at Southampton. He will, receive the freedom of several cities and will doubtless have a triumphant progress, though the reception which will be accorded to Lord Roberts will, of course, eclipse the celebration which will attend Buller's return to England. Lord Roberts is expected in December, and the same month another distinguished Britisher Cecil Rhodeswill return from South Africa. In pursuance of his determination to adopt a self-obliterating policy until the war is entirely over it is likely that Mr. Rhodes's home-coming will be quieter than that of the mo3t insignificant private of the city imperial volunteers. In the midst of the preparations for celebrating the return of the victorious soldiers it Is not astonishing that the people generally fall to realize how extremely costly and long drawn out has been the struggle In South Africa. Statistics carefully prepared up to date by one of the largest In surance companies show that proportionately more Britisher's were killed than the Germans lost in the war with France of 1870-71, while the proportion of those who succumbed to disease was three times as great. Among the rank and file the Germans had 50 per cent, more men killed, but from disease Great Britain suffered 63 per cent, heavier than the Germans. This increase is of such magnitude that even the climatic differences fall to account for it. It 13 asserted that had Great Britain put in the field as many troops as Germany did against Franco and had maintained proportionate casualties her mortality would have reached 29.3G9 men. It Is asserted that Major Goold-Adams, the British commissioner in Bechuanaland, will be mado Governor of the Orange River Colony. General Buller is slated to resume command of Aldershot. General Kitchener, it is said, will temporarily succeed Lord Roberts In command of the troops in South Africa, but will, it is further asserted, be eventually replaced by. Major General Lyttleton, and Kitchener will then be likely to come home and assume the duties of adjutant general. - HAD A DELIRIOUS TIME.

3Ien nnd Women tin "Kltl" nt n Fashionable Church Soelal. New York Journal. . About one hundred of the pious and aristocratic members of the First Congregational Church, of Winsted, Conn., of which the Rev. George W. Judson is pastor, greatly enjoyed a "primary fcoclal" in the church basement last night. -The social was called "primary because the women and men participating in It made an earnest attempt to carry themselves back to their childhood days and to enjoy themselves like children. Of course, no girl of tender years wears long dresses, so some of the truly good women, of whatever age, at the social wore dresses that reached only to the tops of their shoes, and some wore dresses that would have reached only to the tops of their boots had they worn boots instead of shoes. The consequence was that when the women and men ingeniously played pussy-ln-the-corner and Copenhagen and blind man's buff and other games of adolescence It was easy to learn what are the newest styles and colors In hosiery. But no one of course grasped the opportunity. The men, too, contributed to the display of hosiery. That they might seem to be as young as possible all the men at the social wore knickerbockers. The knickerbockers were not becoming to some of the older men, but they consoled themselves with the thought if they thought of It at all that little boys' legs are not well developed. Women and men assumed the air and manners of children. It was really delightful to see a sister put her finger in her mouth and bashfully say to her brother in the church: "No, I won't play Copenhagen with you because I don't like you any more," or to listen to her bid some elderly and eminently respectable gentleman: "Go away from me. you naughty boy, I won't speak to you. You pulled my sister Mary's cat's tail." And it was pleasant to watch a pillar of the edifice as he sucked a red and white stick of candy. There was a spelling match, and shouts of gleeful laughter arose when a woman In short dresses spelled cat, "r-a-t." Never was more Ingenious behavior, more harmless amusement', than at the social. The Journal correspondent could not learn today if Pastor Judson lent the light of his countenance and the joy of his presence to the interesting function. But it would seem that fun so far from harmful, so dignified, must greatly please the Rev. Mr. Judson. He and his churchmen and women have tabooed the Sunday newspapers, perhaps with the Idea that the Sunday newspapers distract their minds from short dresses and pussy-corner and knickerbockers. Cost of n Paris Gown. London M. A. P. The actual labor Involved in the making of a. 120 dress in Paris ater it leaves the cutter's hands seldom exceeds 2. But, it may be asked, where does the rest of the money go? In the first place, quite 20 must be allocated to the chief for Ms originative genius, his administrative talent and the maintenance of himself and family. Then before his aristocratic clients can come in to give their orders he must provide an expensive establishment luxuriously fitted and furnished in the heart of fashionable Paris. He must surround himself with an equally expensive staff composed of men and women who by their suavity of manner, business experience, talent and tact are competent to satisfy and even delight the mct capricious, frivolous, Irresolute, "finical" creatures in the world. These Items would absorb another 30. Interest on capital and on money Cutstanding would represent another $. Considering that bad debts in these smart establishments are officially declared to amount to 12 per cent, of the annual turnover about 14 must be allowed for that eventuality. Adding 2S for the material the total cost would be 102, leaving 15 per cent., or 1S profit. Kocplnsc House in Paria. Good Housekeeping. .

SENTIMENT CHANGING

G Fit MAX S TAKING A MORE SÖDER. VIEW OF THE CHINESE MIDDLE. Count Von IlueloiT, the New Chancellor, Expected to Exert a Restraining: Influence on the Kaiser. AGRARIAN PARTY THREATENS WILL MAKE WAR. OX BUELOW IP HE PUSHES THE CAXAL BILL. Farewell Dinner hy Prince Hohenlohe to Members of the Cabinet and the Bnndeirath. BERLIN. Oct. 27. More sober views about China now prevail here, owing, doubtless, to the fact that Count Von Buelow is known to entertain reasonable ideas about Germany's tangible interests therein and that his influence, as Imperial chancellor, upon the impetuous Emperor, especially in foreign affairs, Is decidedly greater than Prince Hohenlohe's. It Is now generally believed here that the Chinese muddle will slowly but surely unravel itself and lead to a satisfactory issue without necessitating any further large amount of actual hostilities or an' elaborate strategic campaign. All the utterances of the semi-official press this week show this belief. Only the military party Is dissatisfied with this view. Doubts are still entertained here, though, regarding the value of the credentials of Li Hung Chang and Prince Chlng and their ability to enforce the terms of any agreement reached. The alleged latest edict öf the Emperor Kwang Su are also regarded here with suspicion and even the possibility that Li Hung Chang is their author or instigator, to facilitate the negotiators' task, is considered. This week's developments in German internal politics have plainly demonstrated what enormous difficulties the new chancellor will have to contend with and overcome to bring about something approximating a harmonious Cabinet, both for Prussia and the empire, and resultant harmonious action in all important government measures. The radical and liberal newspapers point out that pronouncedly reactionary Agrarian members of the Cabinet, like Dr. Mlquel, Count Von Posadow-sky-Wehner, Baron Von Hammerstein and Baron Von Rhelnbaben have no legitimate place in the new regime", and it was this portion of the press that seized on the incident of 12,000 marks having been accepted by the Imperial Department of the Interior from the big manufacturers association to defray the costs of printing arguments for the anti-strike bill, a slight Incident in itself, to attempt therewith to hoist Count Von Posadowsky-Wehner, who has always been the most dangerous enemy the United States had in the Cabinet. It would seem us if Count Von Posadowsky-Wehner, in this matter," feels -sure of the Emperor's approval and will not resign unless tho Reichstag, during the forthcoming session, morally forces him to do so. The Agrarian party also published several utterances this week informing Count Von Buelow that if he introduces the canal bill afresh, as the North German Gazette promised, they will make war upon him and defeat him. XXX Prince Hohenlohe to-day gave a big fareWell dinner to all the members of the Cabinet and Bundesrath. XXX Authoritatively the correspondent of the Associated Press learns that the new German tariff schedule does not contain, as was reported in the newspapers, a provision for minimal and maximal tariffs, but that this will be left for the Reichstag to deliberate on and decide. xxx The Socialists have elected a member of the Reichstag in the Brandenburg district against a strong government candidate, but the Socialists have lost an election In Wansleben against a National Liberal. xxx Emperor William has ordered Professor Begas to make his Majesty's own marble statue for the new Hall of Glories in Barmen, where statues of the Emperor's ancestors are already placed. xxx A band of American confidence men has successfully done Berlin and other German cities, passing off Confederate $10 bills, which have been readily accepted at 40 marks each. The police have received reports of scores of victims. xxx An official of the Foreign Office informed the Associated Press correspondent that no further answers have been received to the Anglo-German agremeent, but that Japan's adherence is considered certain. The unfriendly attitude of Influential Russian papers tow-ard the agreement was pointed out and the Foreign Office official replied: "We have not to deal with the Russian press, but with the Russian government. We know the agreement is favorably received in St. Petersburg. An answer to the agreement will come from the Czar, who is now in Crimea. Therefore, considerable time may elapse before the answer is received. There is no reason to hurry." Lieutenant Commander William H. Beehler, the United States naval attx.che, who has been ill for some time past, is now Improving. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. September This Year Compared with the Same Month of 1899.

Proper regulations are prescribed to Insure the adoption of these precautions. MOTLEY WON HflNDIC flP

KING BRAMBLE, THE FAVORITE, DISAPPOINTED HIS HACKERS. Close Finish for the Kennico Stakes at the Empire City Track Other Ranning Rnres. NEW YORK. Oct. 27. The dull, threatening weather limited the attendance to about 3,000 at the Empire City track to-day. The Clark memorial handicap at one mile and a furlong was the feature of the day. It was named after the late William H. Clark, who spent a small fortune in building and equipping the track over which the race was run. Five horses faced the starter, with King Bramble the favorite and Motley a strong second choice. McMeekin and Motley made the running past the stand, heads apart. Odom took Motley out in the first turn, however, and he showed the way up the backstretch a length clear or the others, who were all closely bunched. Rounding the far turn Motley drew further away and held her advantage to the end, while McMeekin whipped out and beat Withers three lengths for the place. King Eramble, the favorite, ran a disappointing race. The Kensico stakes, the other feature, resulted in a head-and-head finish between The Musketeer and Brandy Smash, the former getting the decision by a narrow margin. Termless, the favorite, made the running to the stretch, when Brandy Smash, who had been running second, closed on the rail. He looked to have the race won, but the Musketeer closed with a rush and beat him out. Annie Thompson was third, only half a length away. Chuctanunda won the first race easily from. Godfrey and Gold' Lace; Hammond galloped home in the second,' when Maribert stopped at the head of the stretch, while the favorite, Asqulth, tilled the place. Himself got up in the last jump and beat The Regent a head in the fifth race, being the only favorite to score, and Alsike took the last from Oread, with Dolando, the favorite, in the ruck. The winners, in order, were: Chuctanunda, 11 to 5; Hammock, 5 to 2; The Musketeer, 7 to 2; Motley, 13 to 5; Himself. 11 to 5; Alsike. 7 to 2. American Horse Beaten. LONDON, Oct. 27. The match race between Mr. L. Neumann's English horse Eager, ridden by Mornington Cannon, and Johp A. Drake's American horse Royal Flush, with L. Reiff up, wrhich was run today over the Hurst Turf Club course, was won by Eager In a canter by three lengths. The betting was 7 to 1 on Eager. The race wao . the outcome of the keen rivalry existing between English and American horsemen during the past season, and was looked upon as the most Interesting turf incident of the year of the turf. The aim of the parties proposing the race was to have a crack English horse raised by an Englishman, ridden by an Englishman born and bred In England to compete with an American horse owned by an American, trained by an American and ridden by an American in order to demonstrate the superiority of one style over the other.

F. T. ROOTS'S SPEECH

THE COXNERSVILLE 5! AX HEARD AT THE PAIlilY PLANT. He IHtifttrnte Iii Forceful Remarks vrlth a System of Maps and Charts. ALL THE ISSUES DISCUSSED HIGH TRini TE PAID TO THE II EI I'D LI CAN PARTY'S WORK, An Era of Prosperity Dae to Wise Governmental Hole Points in the Speech. One of the best "noon" meetings that have been held this campaign was held yesterday at the plant of the Parry Manufacturing Company, Francis T. Roots, cf Connersville. being th orator. Between three and four hundred men were present and listened to Mr. Roots's instructive address. He was introduced by D. M. Parry, who Is at the head of the manufacturing company. Mr. Roots illustrated his views on expansion by means of a chart and made the financial issue clear to his hearers by the use of a set of coins which he has been using in most of his speeches. His remarks were frequently interrupted by applause and it was apparent that the men were interested In the argument placed before them. Mr. Roots said in part: "As all roads led to Rome, so all road lead to the capital of our commonwealth. If you would hold communion with one of the greatest of our living statesmen. Benjamin Harrison, you must come to Indianapolis. If you would visit the home of th Freatest poet in his school, Riley, you mu.t come to Indianapolis. If you would visit a city whose public-school system is the best in the United State?. If you would view the most imposing and majestic monument in all the world, you must come to Indianapolis. If you desire to visit the largest carriage manufactory In the world, the Parry Manufacturing Company, you must come to Indianapolis. With the exception of Washington and Paris, your city Is probably the most beiutlful In the world. Your growth has been phenomenal. In 1840 your population was 2.G00. In lSTv 8.000, in I860 1S.000, in 1S70 4S.0.)0. In IS) 73.1, in 1S30 105.000 and in 1S00. including the suburbs. 175,000. You held a carnival here last week the like of which would have been an Impossibility in 1S. Then a funeral procession followed by men in sackcloth and ashes. Men and children crying for bread would have been a fitting testimonial as to the financial condition of the country, but last week your thoroughfare? were filled with processions, carriages beautifully decked with flowers, filled with laughing, merry maidens, reflecting tho joyous tplrit of the good tbTies; industrial parades containing wagons loaded down with the products from busy factories, your streets congested with Immense crowds coming from all parts of the State, and filled with the feeling of good-fcilow-shlp. contentment and happiness, the offspring and the product of Republican administration. We greet the twentieth century with a carnival of prosperity and pray God that it may continue for another four years under the present able, honest and capable President, William McKinley. A REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN. "Tho presidential campaign of 1900 Is the most remarkable campaign in tho annals of political history. We have had campaigns where the tariff was the whola issue, as in 1SÜ2, but never before has tho Republican party been confronted witli the heresies and 'isms of the opposition as at the present time. It would fccm to us that the paramount issue is abolition. We are confronted by the opposition (lj with the abolition of so-called imperialism; (2) the abolition of the go!J standard, and in lieu thereof the free coinage of silver at sixteen to one; :! the abolition of trusts and corporations; 4 tlii abolition of the tariff; i5) the abolition tt government by Injunction; 6) the abolition of the Supreme Court as at present organized; (7) the abolition of the private ownership and control of the three great Instruments of commerce money, transportation and the means of transmission of Information which public functions shall be controlled by the people through their Congress for the public welfare. "Little wonder Is It that Mr. Bryan i repudiated and his election opposed by such Democrats as Cleveland. Carlisc, Hoadly, Eckels. Ruckner, Brape. Jcwelt, ex-Democratic Speaker of the Houe Rynum and Captain English, all ex-Demo cratic representatives from Indiana, anl Charles Denby. ex-Democratic minister to China, nnd a host of others. "My countrymen, the hojc of the Republic and its perpetuity rests upon the independent action of the voter. The determination to hold patriotism above partisanship, and measures alove men augurs well for the life and continued existence of this great Nation, and Republicans t-hould be just as willing to discipline thir party as Democrats are when thnt party Is guilty of a departure from the light principles of government. ,MR. BRYAN'S INDICTMENT. "The Declaration of Independence seems to be so near the heart of Mr. Bryan, an i in it are twenty-seven Indictments against King George, so we bring In not lo-s than five counts against Mr. Bryan and ask his indictment and conviction at the polls Nov. 6. First we charge that you are a falsa prophet, and that your pessimistic vaporIngs and prophecies in !j0 are as baseksj and false as in 1D'j. Four years ag' you said: 'The gold standard fills our streets with men who are anxious to work but find no opportunity to work.' We refer you to the fact that five million more men are cmplojed now than in ISM. and even General Coxey, who a few years ago led an army of unemployed men and camped upon tha lawn of tLe White House, wan compelled to advertise for Wo men to operate hi.s new 0,CM) steel plant at Mount Ytrnon, O. Are you aware that Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor at Washington, has Issued a bulletin, under date of October, 1100, which shows wages are 3 per cert, hist her thwn at any time In the history of the United States? Are you aware right here in the city of Indianapolis that In twenty leading factories there are 4,(; more men employed than when you ultt-rtd, your miserable prophecy, and that Indiana's wealth has increased XI. .( K.'mJ in the past ten years? That the bank deposits in IndianaioIls have increased $13,uoO.OrtO Fince 1 and in the United States $2,().Ono.Ooj? Are you aware that under this 'abominable gold standard the railroads are paying for labor J77.t".UM more than in 16, and that on the 1st of thU month the Amalgamated Asxlatioi, of Steel Workers. 6.0" strong, signed a contract for another year, and that in ail probability 143.0CW men will soon be at work again in the coal regions with increased wages, and their pay will be gold or ixrequivalent? Are you aware that during the year you prophesied In lv 73 0 mortgages were filed In Indiana, amounting to over S2u.00ft.CUU. while in lyj only 5.1M) mortgages were recorded, amounting to Js.(m.'jO, showing more farmers got out of dtbt under the gold standard than at any tlnw during the history of the country? You said: 'The gold standard means dearrr money, and dearer money means more people destitute and desperate, and hence rr.or crime. TWO LETTERS.
