Exceptional Bravery Displayed bp British Soldiers in the Recent Fight at Chieveley. CANDIDATES FOR THE VICTORIA CROSS. Ueet. Winston Churchill’s Last Dis< patch Previous to Departing frost Estcourt With the Ill-Fated Ar. stored Train Reconnaissance* Dispatch From Gen. Buller. Estcourt, Natal, Thursday, Nov. 10 —(Noon)—A correspondent who ha« Just visited the Sanatarium hospital says all the armored train wounded •rc doing well. Tod Saved His Life. Capt. Wylie, in an interview, said Sergt. Tod deserves special mention for having surrounded him with bawlder to protect him from rifle fire, when lying helpless and wounded. Tod «Ten lay down beside the officer to cheer him up. A shell landed among the protecting bowlders, Spattering them with earth, but Capt. Wylie sustained no further injury. But foi Tod he would have been killed. Several men escaped marvelously. When Winston Churchill requested Capt. Wylie to call for volunteers to remove the upset truck, bullets, it is said, weie dropping on the train “like rain.” The men, throughout, stuck to their work, responding to the noble example set by Churchill and Lieut. Franklin, until the line was cleared. Couldn’t Leave the Wounded. Churchill actually left wi*h the engine, but he got out at the next station, Frere, took a rifle from a boIdier, saying he could not leave the wounded, and walked away in the directiiJfc of the Boers. A Brave Irish- Sergeant. Sergt. Hassett, of the Dublin fusileers behaved5 with the greatest gallantry. He took charge of the firing party, and stood up unflinchingly during the Boers’ hot fire. His examp*4 electrified the fusileers, who kept tb* Bores at bay by volleying.

He exhibited great coolness during the critical period. He is reported missing., * ^ CHI RCHILL’S LAST CABLE. Hs Sent It Just Before Starting; on tbe Ill-Fated Reconnaissance. New York, Nov. 18.—A dispatch to the World from Estcourt, Natal, gives the last cable from Lieut. Winston Spencer Churchill before his capture by the Bpers. The dispatch says: “About 500 Boers have arrived at Chiveley station. They blew tip the Piajlway line there with dynamite, rel tiring on seeing a mounted infantry patrol and other patrolling parties“The Boers are reported to-day to be south of the Tugela river, which runs through Colenso. “Repoits from Weenen (about twenty miles northeast of Estcourt) indi- * cate that it is possible that an attack is intended to be made upon this piece. "(This undoubtedly refers to the movement of Gen. Schalkburger’s commando, which has been reported as advancing from the Transvaal through Zululand Upon the capital of Natal in the rear of the British troops penned up in Ladysmith.) “The troops here are sleeping in their boots, and the utmost vigilance is maintained, but general confidence prevails that in the grassy (open country) any Dutch attack can be repulsed. “The situation is much dearei throughout Natal. “Further efforts to signal Ladysmith failed, but the Boer helio acknowledged them, saying: “Will be with you. to-morrow.” “The British reply was much shorter.

DISPATCH FROM GEN. DULLER. Official Report of the Armored Train Affair at Chiveley. London, Nov. 18.—The war office has received the following dispatch from GenrBuller: Cape Town, Thursday, Nov. 16.— (Evening)—Have received from Hildyard, at Pietermaritzburg, a telegram dated November 15, of which the following is the purport: “The officer commanding the troops l at Estcourt reports, at midday, that | 'an armored train left Estcourt this morning, with a company of the Dub- ; lin fusileers and a company of the Durban volunteers. North of Frera they encountered a party of Boers and | began to withdraw. While retiring, some of the trucks were derailed. The Du Wins turned out and advanced towards the enemy, while the rest ot the train appears to have returned, without them, to Estcourt. “The officer commanding the troops reports that he was sending mounted troops in order to cover their with* drrwal but that about 100 are miss Jug.” CONTESTED STEP RY STEP. bat Recent Events Indicate to tbs British at Home.

BOERS SHELL HOSPITALS, rtl« GeMTartttBTtntton Disregarded by the Transvaal Burghers, In the Face of Protests. London, Nov, 15, 4:30 a. m.—Therq is no additional news regarding the progress of hostilities in South Africa this morning except a dispatch from Mafeking, forwarded by a runner, dated October 31, which says that during the afternoon Gen. Cronje, the Boer commander, sent an envoy- to Col. Baden-Powell, under a flag of truce, to declare that he did not consider the Geneva convention authorized the flag of the Bed Cross society to fly from several buildings at once in the town, and that, in his opinion the employment of natives against whites and the use of dynamite mines were both opposed to the rules of war. Col. Badcs-PoweU’i Reply. Col. Baden-Powell replied that the Geneva convention did not stipulate as to the number of Bed .Cross stations permissible and that the Boers were Only required to respect the convent, the hospital and the women’s laager, all of which were beyond the town limits. The British commander also pointed out that mines were recognized adjuncts of civilized warfare and that the defenses of Pretoria were extensively mined. Moreover, he reminded Gen. Cronje that the Boers had fired upon natives, beyond their kraals and raided their cattle, and that the natives only defended their lives and property.. Continued to Shell the Hospitals. Despite these warnings from Col. Baden-Powell the Boers continued deliberately to shell the hospital and the women’s laager. The sending of the Boer envoy was regarded, the dispatch | says, as a mere pretext for penetrating ! the British lines at Mafeking. According to the latest reports, the towu is confident of its ability t,o hold out until the end of the campaignUarrylnK and Giving In Marriage. So far as Kimberly is concerned, the mental condition of the British there may be judged from the fact that three weddings have taken place since the siege began, the last having been celebrated on November 8. Discussing Lord Salisbury’s Letter.

In the absence of fresh news, the rooming papers are driven to discuss Lord Salisbury’s letter regarding misinterpretations of his utterances at the lord mayor's banquet, and President Kruger’s threat to execute British officers now in his hands unless Nathan Marks, a supposed Boer spy, is released by Sir George White. The premier’s deliverance meets with universal approval, although the explanation was in no way necessary, as outside of the Daily Chronicle, not one had supposed his words could bear the meaning which Boer sympathizers had been endeavoring to read into them. w Should be Held Responsible. President Kruger’s threat has excited widespread indignation. The Daily News demands that his friends should promptly inform him that his ofcn neck and that of Dr.‘ Iteitz, the Transvaal state secretary, will be held responsible for any such violation o:E elementary rules of civil ized warfare. Censorship Blamed. For once the censorship is hlamed on account of laxity. It is asserted that the censor ought to have suppressed the story of Father Matthews regarding the surrender at Nicholson’s Nek, which, while too vague to be considered evidence, must cause uneasiness. The feeling is that, until the facts can be ascertained, it would have been wiser not to circulate mere gossip. Some Apprehension Felt. The great delay on South African cables, now amounting practically to five days, and the lack of any definite news from Ladysmith give rise tovsome apprehension, which is only relieved by the fact that no adverse tidings have come from either British or Boer sources.

Mironded m nyitery. Nothing is known as to the whereabouts of Gen. Sir Redvers Buller. H. M. S. Powerful has arrived at Simon’s bay, from Durban and begun to coal. The cruiser will return to Durban immediately with more guns. Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for India, announced in a speech Monday evening that a relief force would immediately be sent to Ladysmith, but beyond that nothing is known of the British plan of cair^ paign, and equal secrecy shrouds the movements of the Boers. Brltluli Contempt for the Boera. The Morning Post,4 which complains that it was unwise tactics on the part of the British officers to leave the railway intact in their retirement to Ladysmith, says: “It is another illustration of British contempt for the Boers that they treated the retirement as though it were an advance and preserved the enemy’s line of communication as carefully as if it had been our own.” Sailed for England. Dr. Jameson, the hero of the raid, left Cape Town for England last Thursday. The Cape authorities have seized a wireless telegraph plant found on hom'd a vessel destined for Delagoa Bay. Troopa Continue to Arrive. London. Nov. 14.—It was officially announced this afternoon that the troopship Britannic has arrived a* Cape Town and that the troopship LisCape Town and the troopships Lismore Castle and Yorkshire at Durban It was also officially announced that the troopship Oriental, which left London, October 20, had sailed from Cap< Town for Durban and the Donald Currie Line steamer Carisbrook Castle, which sailed from London Octob£r^M with the cavalry brigade staff and naval reinforcements on board, tad Srri\ed at Cape Town,

GEN. MAC ARTHUR’S ADVANCE. 4 VlMppeitrlag Foe Leave* Oalf i Legacy of Bad Koada»Wel> ' corned by the Natives. Manila, Not. 19, 1 a. m.—The follow* fcng dispatches have been received here front correspondents accompanying the American troops: MacArtbmr Eaters Gerona. Gerona, Not. 18. Gen. MacArthur’s troops entered this place this morning. The insur gents had fled last Monday, after burn* ing the depot. Nothing else was destroyed by them. Gerona is the first town along th Manila-Da gupan railway line where the natives did not run at the approach of the Americans. The padres offered quarters in the church and convent. The town has one gcod house. Gerona is the seat of heavy English sugar interests. A Hard Road to Travel. Tlie trip here was a hard one and occupied six hours in covering seven miles and a half, most of the time being spent in fording a quarter of a mile flood running out of the Rio Tarlac. We have no wagons, and pack mules and native bearers carry all our supplies. 'Welcomed the Americana. The natives here say that BayorcItong was occupied last Saturday by mounted troops,probably Gen.Young’s bi.gade of Gen. Lawton’s division. The people here are of srbetter class than we have usually found, and they welcomed the Americans, as they evidently realize that their agricultural interests will revive. A Different Political Atmosphere. Gen. MacArthur said this afternoon: “We seem to be entering a different political atmosphere. The people here seem to be less attached to Aguinaldo’* ciuse than those in many towns which we have entered on the railroad line.” W'lll Move Forward at Daybreak. The command will move northward at daybreak to-morrow toward Bayombcn&. Gerona will be garrisoned with two companies of the Thirty-sixth.' Immediately on entering Gerona Slavcu's scouts moved up the traok toward Panique. On the way they enccnutered an intrenched party of insurgents, whom they drove back, then entering the town and capturing four locomotives and 13 cars. They learned that 500 insurgents had left the town in the course of the afternoon.

Arrived at Pnnlque. Panique, Nov. 18. Gen. MacArthur’s troops arrived .from Gerona in the course of the morning. The railroad beyond this point has not been destroyed. The captured railway stock is being repaired to handle supplies. The expedition will go north toward Bayombong probably tc-day. The signal corps is constructing lines with great rapidity. f ormer Insurgents Disgusted. A native courier from Bayombong reports that the American troops left the town soon after they entered, and that many natives remain, although no insurgents. - Gen. MacArthur discovered here Maj. Joneson, formerly chief surgeon on the staff of the Filipinos’ commander, Gen. Maseardo. He resides at Bacolor, and is about to return there to resume his, practice. Mai. Joneson says that all respectable Filipinos are disgusted with the behavior of the insurgents and are very glad that the Americans have the upper hand. Continuous Procession of Refugees. A continuous procession of refugees is entering Panique from the north, indicating the proximity of other American troops, probably off# the railroad line. These refugees say that the insurgents do not know which way to turn, with the Americans occupying so many places in the north. A Rich Sngar Town. Panique is a rich sugar town. Some of the wealthy Chinese and the poorer natives fled at the first approach^ of our troops, but they are now confidently returning. The rain has ceased, the weather is fine and the country is drying rapidly.

Americana Reached Monucada. Monacada, 19, 12:30 a. m. Acvancing through the enemy’s country by train from Panique, a distance of five miles, the Americans reached Monacada, where the natives have displayed a friendly disposition. The train is stalled here by the wreck ot two locomotives and 54 cars, evidently intentional, on the main track. The Advance a Complete Success. The freight house and depot had been burned. No attempt will be made to save the wrecked rolling stock, but the track will be cleared, and as soon as two small breaks have, been repaired, the expedition will continue northward. Thus far the advance has teen a complete success. ONE MAlTBURNED TO DEATH. Several Narrow Escapes from • Burning? Hotel—Six Other Buildings Destroyed. Wagoner, I. T., Nov. 20.—The St. Charles hotel and six other buildings were destroyed by fire Saturday night. The hotel was filled with guests, aqd there were several narrow escapes. One guest, a Fort Smith traveling man named Whiteside, was burned to death. Two others, names unknown, are missing. The property loss is $20,000. A 'Wife-Beater Assassinated. Tupelo, Miss., Nov. 20.—H. M. Benneficld was killed Saturday night at his home near this place by unknown persons. He mistreated his wife and had been notified to leave the neighborhood. He returend a few days ago and puisuaded his wife to move away with him. The moving was in progress when Bennefield was killed. Returned to Washington. Washington, Nov. 20.—Secretary and Mrs. Long returned to the city yesterJay from Colorado Springs, Col., wherd they took their daughter, who is ill.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS As Related to Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Interests. Pitaeat Period Styled the Ace «C Transportation — Foreign Countries Baying Our Locomotives— Development of the West. “One of our great writer® hat said of this dosing period of the nineteenth century that it is an age of transportation. Transportation underlies material prosperity in every department of commerce. Without transportation commerce would be impossible. .These states and nations are rich, powerful and enlightened whose transportation facilities are best and most extended. The dying nations are those with little or no transportation facilities.” These were a part of the opening words of am address delivered before the International Commercial congress, recently held in Philadelphia, by George H. Daniels, General Passenger Agent of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad, and president of the American Association of General Passenger Agents. He then went on to quote Mr. Mulhall, the British statistician, who in his work on ‘‘The Wealth of Nations” said of the United States in 1895: ‘‘If we take a survey of mankind in anoient or modern times, as regards the physical, mechanical and intellectual force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United States.” Mr. Mulhall proved by his statistics that the working power of a single person in the United States was twice that of a German or Frenchman, more than three times that of ah Austrian and five times that of an Italian. He said the United States was then the richest country in the world, its wealth exceeding that of Great Britain by 35 per cent., and added that in the history of the human race no nation ever before possessed 41,000,000 of instructed citizens. Should Mr. MulhaU revise his figures to-day, the differences would all be in favor of the United States, for in the past 18 months we have demon strated the superiority of our manufactures in every direction, and our ability to cope successfully ^with questions which have heretofore-been handled exclusively by the older nations is now recognized by all the world. . * ,

.air. uanieis 101a oz a teller ne naa. received from a friond in Tokio, written only a short time ago, in which was this significant sentence: “You will be interested in knowing that I have hanging on the wall of my ofifipe a framed picture of your ‘Empire State Express,' and we expect in the near future to be hauling a Japanese ‘Empire Express' with an American locomotive.” They have now in Japan more than 100 locomotives that were built in the United States. In Russia they have, nearly 1,000 American locomotives, and practically ©very railway in Great Britain has ordered locomotives from this coun* try since the beginning Of the war with Spain. But it is not alone our locomotives that have attracted the attention of foreigners who have visited our shores; our railway equipment generally has commanded admiration and is now receiving the highest compliment, namely, imitation by many sister nations. The demand for American locomotives from all, parts of the world Mr. Daniels attributed, in the first place, to the superior quality of our machinery, and, in the second, to the fact that the general passenger agents of the American railways have, through their advertising, made the marvelous results accomplished by our locomotives household words in every country on the globe. The emperor of Germany in his speech to the Prussian diet in January last, said Mr. Daniels, did not lay the greatest stress upon the necessity for increasing the army or for the construction of additional ships for the navy, but he did impress upon his hearers the great importance of extending the railroads and the navigable canals. In order that the German nation might have knowledge of the most advanced

lUVViiVO UUU U.V, UVC JiU UlC vUUdli Uv* tion and operation of railways an imperial German commission was sent to the United States a short time ago for the purpose of examining American railways and making such recommendations as their investigation should suggest. In the report of this commission, which was recently published, one of the first sentences is as follows: “Lack of speed, lack of comfort* lack of cheap rates, are the charges brought against the German empire’s railways, as compared with those of the United States.” They recommended the adoption of many of our methods, explaining in their report that they were far superior, not only to those in vogue in Germany, but also superior to those of any other country. One of the claims made by Mr. Daniels is that railroads supersede the canals, and he gives as one reason the general demand of the American public for quick time. A shipper having a hundred thousand barrels of flour or a iqillion bushels of grain for export must move it from Buffalo to New York within a specified time, and he cannot risk the slow process of the canal. What Railroads Have Accomplished. A few examples of the achievements of American railroads in a little more than half a century, and many of them within the last 25 years, were then given. Before the railroads were built it took a week to go from New York to Buffalo, nearly three Weeks from New York to Chicago; and at that time no man would have” thought of making a trip from New York to the Pacific coast* except a few of the hardiest pioneers, arid when on such an occasion the goodbyes were said, i t was expected on both aides that it would be forever.

The framers of our constitution would hare considered a man entirely beside himself who would have suggested such a possibility. In 1875 the states east of the Missouri river were sending food and clothing to the starving people of Kansas. Thanks to the facilities afforded by tho railroads the corn crop of Kansas this year is 340,900,000 bushels, v It seems but a very few years, said the speaker, since I made my first trip to Colorado, and stopepd on my way, at the home of Buffalo Bill, at North Platte, Neb., on the Union Pacific. At Ogalalla, 51 miles west of North Platte, the Sioux Indians were roaming over the prairies and making more or less trouble for the early settlers who ventured so far out of the beaten paths of civilization. The Nebraska corn crop this year covers 8,0&0,000 acres, and the yield is 290,000,000 bushels. Previous to the construction of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, Northwestern, St. Paul, Burlington, and other railways that traverse that wonderful region known as the “wheat belt,” there was nothing to be seen but prairie grass and an Occasional band of untamed savages. Development of Pacific Coast. In 1849 there came across the continent reports of the discovery of gold in California, but the only means of reaching its Golden Gate was by sea around Cape Horn, or the long and perilous journey, with ox teams, across the plains, including what was then styled in our geographies the American desert, and through the hazardous mountain passes of the western part of the continent. The completion of the Pacific railroads changed all this, and opened new fields for all kinds of enterprises, in an unexplored territory stretching over more than 2,000 miles to the west, northwest and southwest of the Mississippi river, the products of which regionpfrere practically valueless until the m?ahs of transporting them were providedAE>y the railroads. The wheat crop of California this year is 37.000. 000 bushels. The largest crop ever produced in California was in 1880, when owing to exceptionally favorable weather conditions that state produced 63.000. 000 bushels. The gold output of California for the year 1899 is estimated at $16,000,000. The vineyards and or

auge groves oi v>auiorma vvouiQ De or practically little value were it hot for the fact that the railroads, by their trains of refrigerator and ventilated cars, make it possible to transport .the products of her fertile valleys to all sections of the country. It seems but yesterday that the raliroads were completed into Portland, Ore., Tacoma and Seattle, Wash., and it is marvelous that for the year ended .Tune 30, 1899, there was exported from the Columbia River valley 16,000,000 bushels of wheat and from the Puget sound region 10,000,000 bushels. Oregon and Washington form the northwest corner of the territory of the United States south of the line of British Columbia and are directly on the route to our extreme northwest possession, Alaska. The wheat crop of the states' of Oregon and Washington for the year 1S99 is 48,600,000 bushels. There was exported during the year ended June 30, T899, from the Columbia river direct to foreign ports 1,100,000 barrels of flour, jtind from Puget sound points 800,000 bdrrels. * Colorado, which, with its inexhaustible mines of gold, silver, lead, iron and coal, forms almost an empire in itself, will produce this year of 1899 of gold, $24,000,000; of silver, $14,200,000; of lead, $4,400,000, in addition to a magnificent crop of wheat, fruit and vegetables. Thanks to her railroad facilities, Montana is to-day the richest mineral region of its size in the world. The latest published statistics—those of 1S97—give the mineral output of Montana as $54,000,000. Without railroads, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington would still be the home of savages.

service ox American Railroads. It is beyond question that American railroads to-day furnish the best service in the world, at the lowest rates of fare, at the same time paying their employes very much higher wages than are paid for similar service in any other country on the globe. In the United States the first-class passenger fares last year averaged 2.98 cents per mile, although On some large railways the average was several mills less than two cents per mile; in England the firstclass fare is four cents per mile; thirdclass fare, for vastly inferior service, is two cents per mile, but only on certain parliamentary trains. In Prussia the fare is three cents per mile; in Austria, 3.05 cents per mile, and in France, 3.36 cents per mile. Our passenger cars excel those of foreign countriesin all that goes to make up the comfort and^ conveniences, of a journey. Our sleeping and parlor car system is tastjy superior to theirs; our baggage system is infinitely better than theirs and arranged upon a much more liberal basis. American railroads carry 150 pounds of baggage free, while the German railroads carry only 55 pounds free. .The lightingof our trains is superb, while the lighting of trains on most foreign lines is wretched. These are some of the achievements of American railways in passenger service that have not been approached in any other country on the globe, and in my opinion it is achievements of this character that have made it possible for the United States to expand'its commerce with suSh astounaing\rapidity. The fact that American passenger service attracts the attention of people of every other country who visit our shores is demonstrated by the desire of all foreigners to ride on the Empire State express—the fastest long-distance train in the world—and the further desire to examine the magnificent ma* chines that haul our great trains.
