LONDON , Nov. S. ( New York
World Cablegram. ' The South African
situation is again causing the deepest
alarm. The silence of the war oliice ,
which received today several dis
patches from Capetown and Durban ,
the holding back of the list of casual
ties at Ladyomlth and finally the an
nouncement of the mobilization of the
oecond army corps , the tenth ot this
month , all combine to show that the
position of British power In South
Africa Is one of the greatest peril. The
reported mobilization of the army
corps Is not officially confirmed , but la
corroborated from Aldershot , where
arrangements are actually In progress
for the operation.
Your correspondent learns that the
Dutch arc rising in northern Cape
town , and the revolt has assumed
menacing proportions , owing to Boer
successes , while native unrest all along
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
borders has become most menacing.
The natives cannot be felled on by
cither side , but will probably light for
their own hand witli sedition spreadIng -
Ing among the Cape and Natal Dutcl. ,
The natives are only waiting to Jump
In on their own account. White's force
Is still beleagured at Ladysmlth. This
war has suddenly become the most mo
mentous in which England has en
gaged in since the American revolu
tion.

General .loubert's movement to cut
oft White from Colenso la being carried
out and it is regarded as quite probable
that Maritzburg , the capital of Natal ,
will fall into his hands before Butler
and his reinforcements arrive.
Mr. Chamberlain , who had proposed
to take his ease at his country seat
near Birmingham while the Transvaixl
was being conquered , has found it
necessary to come to town and is in
constant communication with Miluer.
Lord Lonsdale proposes to take out
to South Africa 208 men of the West
moreland and Cumberland yeomanry ,
ot which he is colonel , also three Max
ims and two fully equippeu ambulance
corps. He will place himself iu the
lionds of the war office authorities , to
whom he will make his offer almost
immediately.
The Daily Mail correspondent at
Pletermaritzburg , October 31 , says : "It
is reported that the Boer force from
Koomatiport with guns is making its
way through Zululand. It intends to
visit each magisterial district and
hoist the Transvaal Hag in it. The
force is expected to reach Mavuna on
Saturday. The authorities arc entirely
on the alert. "
The Morning Leader's special from
Ladysmtth , October 311:05 : p. m. ,
says : I have just been out to the spot
where the Gloucestershircs and Irish
Fuslleers were engaged yesterday. I
found the Boers in possession and was
accorded safe conduct over the field.
The engagement took place on the top
of a high mountain , where our infan
try had thrown up entrenchments. The
mule battery had stampeded earlier ,
while the Boers were engaging the Fu
slleers and the Gloucestershircs from
the hills facing the precipitous front
of the mountain on which our men
were entrenched. Another party of the
enemy crept up a gentler slope of the
same eminence and thus our men were
virtually encircled. They surrendered
at 2 p. m. , after seven Hours' continu
ous lighting , counted over twenty of
ous fighting. I counted over twenty of
which forms the summit of the hill.
Quite a hundred wounded were collect
ed during the morning. Eight hundred
and'seventy British prisoners were
sent to Pretoria. "

Zeltung says :
"Wo learn from a well Informed
source that the Samona negotiations
tor a definitive settlement are drawing

uous efforts to secure the main island ,
but the hopes for success arc very

Is Impossible to keep Samoa. If
Great Britain cedes the Gilbert and
Solomon islands in compensation , the

Guam , will be Gorman , and the New

of this group , would become a valuable

transacting business under state jur- ,
isdictlon nt the close of the period i

banks , sixty-nine were private baulu
and ten were savings banks.

that never In the history of Nebraska
were her banks In as solvent a con

Secretary Hall iu opening the report.
Since the expiration of the time cover
ed by the report the condition of the
banks has improved and Is now even

KxpoHltlon County Collective Ktlilhlf' ,
OMAHA , Nov. G. A revision of the
award ot cash premiums In the county
collective exhibit In agricultural build-
lug at the exposition has changed the
position somewhat in the standing of
the several counties as reported when
the judges finished scoring the exhib
its.
its.This
This change has been brought about
by a committee made by the exhibitors
In the settlement of what the counties
were entitled to for continuous dis
play. Some counties put In their ex
hibits when the exposition opened July
1 , while others came iu later , varying
in dates from the opening of the expo
sition to the later part of September.
This was arranged by the exhibition
to apply as follows :
"All counties appearing at the expo
sition in Juno and setting up an ex
hibit we allow an additional score of
twenty points above what the judges
may award In the score of the exhib
its ; this for continuous exhibit. Also
to the counties appearing In July we
allow a credit of ten points , and to
counties in August a score of live
points. "
The proposition to harmonize the in
terests of the exhibitors , as to advant
age claimed by time of putting up ex
hibits was adopted by the exhibitors
and brings the standing as follows , for
settlement with the exposition :
Poik county , la. , 2,095 points , $1,000 ;
Delaware county , la. , 2.030 points , ? 700 ;
Lancaster county , Neb. , 2,020 points ,

UcHlepod by Coal
OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. 6. Anticipat
ing the rise In freight rates on coal
from Chicago and the Mississippi river
gateways November 15 , coal dealers
have been besieging the freight de
partments of the various railroads
operating between Omaha and the
cast seeking early delivery of advance
orders. The freight officials have not ,
however , been able to meet the de
mands for the reason that the c-oal
trafflc has been affected like all other
branches of business owing to the car
famine. Still they have moved tha
real almost as rapidly ui the miners
have been able to deliver it. For vari
ous reasons , , the principal one being
the exceptionally large stocks which
coal merchants have been laying in ,
the miners have found themselves un
able to supply the demand anywhere
near as rapidly as the dealers would
desire. The coal situation has also
become somewhat complicated owing
to the strikes in the Kansas coal
mines , resulting in the supply from
that quarter being cut off and necessi
tating the patrons of the Kansas
mines to look to the eastern miners
for their coal.
Work f the Wrecker * ,
OMAHA , Nov. 6. A carload of tools
and wrecking machinery has come in
from Chicago and Is being unloaded
on the exposition grounds. Work will
begin early this week tearing down i
the buildings. Already 200 men have s
oeen put to work and at least 300
additional are to be given something
to do during the next ten days. The
furniture ia all out of the buildings ,
the press building being empty and the
telegraph offices closed. The furniture
IB stored in the transportation build
ing , where an auction will be had with
in a month. The public comfort build
ing , the Nebraska building and every
other building has been emptied. All
will be ready for the wrecker by Mon
day or Tuesday.

No Moury In Night.
OMAHA , Nov. C. The financial con
ditions of the exposition association
remain unchanged. No claims have
been paid and the employees arc still
clamoring for their money. A large
delegation of the men had arranged '
to meet nt the Service building 'this
morning and make a formal demand
upon the members of the executive
committee. However , only a few ap
peared and they did not find the par
ties they sought. The plan at this
time IB to assign all the labor claims to
one man and then let him bring such
ault us uiuy seem proper.- <

OMAHA , Neb. , Nev. 4. The ground ?
of the Greater America exposition ex
hibit more activity now than during
many of the days when the show was
In full blast. All the gates with the
exception of those on Mandcrson street
have been closed against pedestrians.
These however , are doing a good bus
iness , as through them pass all em
ployes , the visitors and those parties
who have claims which they seek to
press against the exposition associa
tion. The number of creditors seems
to be legion and they appear to be on
the Increase.
While an ofllclal statement has not
been given out it Is said that the un
secured debts of the exposition will
agg-egate about $98,000. Of this sum ,
it Is stated that about $50,000 Is duo
laborers and for material for the month
of October. Scores of suits have been
commenced , and more are being
brought each day , nearly all of which
are accompanied by injunction pro
ceedings to restrain tjie Chicago
Wrecking company from tearing down
the main buildings which it purchased
and on v hlch it lias made a rmrtlal
payment.
The guards and gateinen are the lat-
eat to consider the bringing of suits
to recover their wages. A plan is Un
der consideration by them now , and if
it matures a meeting of all of these
creditors will be called within a day
or two. The. plan is to assign all the
claims to one man and then let him
bring his action in district court , at
the same time attaching everything
in sight , supplementing this with an
injunction to prevent the wrecking
company from tearing down or remov
ing any of the buildings which it pur
chased from the exposition.
Hourd of Health KeporU.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 4. The sec
retaries of the state board of health
llled a report with the state board rec
ommending that the certificate of Dr.
Oren Oneal be revoked on the ground
of unprofessional and dishonorable
conduct. No action was taken by the
board of health. The secretaries also
rejected the application of Dr. B. W.
Drasky of Brainard for a certificate
on the ground that he had not compiled
with the Nebraska statute which re
quires a four years' course in
before a certificate can be Issued to a
graduate.
The secretaries were made the de
fendants in the matter of a restrain
ing order secured by Dr. Benjamin F.
Tolson of Omaha , who is connected
with a magnetic healing Institution in
that city and who does not want the
secretaries to hear certain charges
against him. A temporary restraining
order was issued by Judge Holmes and
he will hear the case November C.
Dr. Oneal had refused to appear be-
for Hie secretaries to show cause why
his certificate should not be revoked.
He contended that tlie secretaries had
no jurisdiction and it was intimated
by him that he would appear before
the board proper when the secretaries
filed their findings and recommenda
tions.

OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. U. Ex-Governor
Alvtn Saunders died nt his home in thU
city at the ago of So years. Ho passc.l
away i-any and naturally nnd his death
seemed to the members of the family
gathered around the bedside na though
ho had merely gone from perfect con
sciousness into a gentle sleep. His
end has been expected almost hourly
for the lust ten days. Ills strength
.first began falling about six months
ago , when his heart showed signs of
giving out , and the nu'inbcra of the
family know that his death could not
be long delayed , ( lovernor Saunders
was appointed by President Lincoln
territorial governor of Nebraska March
2(5 ( , 18GL At that time the exigencies
of the civil war and the hostility of
some of the Indian tribes on the bor
ders of the territory made the ofilce of
governor one of exceptional responsi
bility. When most of the able-bod
ied men of the territory were In tlit
union army the Indians desolated the
frontier and massacred men , women
and children. Governor Saundora
promptly Issued a proclamation calling
for volunteers to protect the frontier
and bin energetic measures ? wore cheer
fully supported. The dllllculty
emphasized by the fact that there were
no funds in the territorial treasury ,
but all the dllllcultk's were overcome
and the savages were effectually re
pulsed.
Governor Saunders was one of the
earliest and most enthusiastic advo
cates of a trans-continental railway
and In his first message to the territo
rial legislature in 1801 , he said : "A
mere glance at the map of the country
will convince every Intelligent mind
that the ureat Platte valley , whlcn
passes through the heart and runs
nearly through the entire length of
Nebraska , ia to become the route of
the great central railway that Is to
connect the Atlantic with the I'aclilc
states and territories. "

OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. 3. The World-
Herald says of the Into exposition : It
is impossible to state the exact total
receipts. The paid stock was $89,300 ;
sale of btilldlnga and material about
$50,000 ; water plant , $18,000 ; conces
sions , about $70,000 ; admissions , some
thing over $130.000 , making a total ot
something less than $120,000 as re
ceived by the management. Of this
amount $420,000 ban been paid out for
labor , music , freight , improvements on
grounds and buildlntui , amusement fea
tures , advertising , fuel , lumber , salar
ies , printing and so forth. At the
opening of the , gates the cornoratlon
was In debt something like $00,000 , this
being borrowed money and aalartos
then due. At the time of the reorgani
zation , a month later , the situation
was very little , if any , better. The new
management , by hard work , was able
to secure loans to the amount of about
$10,000 within ten days after taking
control , and the work of keeping the
enterprise afloat haa been one of strug
gle and difficulty the hand-to-moutn
policy prevailing in every department.
The gates closed with a debt due ot
something in excess of $130.000 , not
counting the $89,300 capital stock paid
up. No statement of the real condition
has been made public for six weeks or
more. No ono knows the exact finan

and a few individuals. From different
and various sources , however , nome re
