PARIS , Nov. I. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) Several of the
mrfct prominent women of the American
colony have for some time past agitated the
question of stopping cruelty to cab horses.
The campaign Is now thoroughly organized ,
thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Munroe , Miss
Fanny Heed and others. Vance Thompson ,
the well-known New York writer , put the Influence
fluenceof her largo acquaintance among thj
French prcte to service In the cause. Many
ot the best Parisian journalists have pledged
active support. Severlno yesterday pub
lished a ringing article entitled "American
Show the Way , " explaining the campaign
by saying , among other things :
"Thu first thing noticed by a foreigner In
Paris Is the general atrocious cruel treatment
mont of animals on the streets. This mus
stop. "
f
Further Soverlne praises the act of Davli
BeOnEco , who last summer thrashed n coach
man who continued to whip his howe after
kind remonstrances.
Dreyfus will not remain at Carpentras
much longer , an the first touched of wlnte
has affected his chest. The doctors ad
vised n still warmer climate. The family
has agents exploring the northern shore
of Algeria , Greece nnd Kgypt , but Mathleu
Dreyfus tells a correspondent that In al
likelihood his brother will settle at Cortu
near the place where the late empress o
Austria built a marvelous palace. Ono o
the Dreyfus children , a little girl , last wecl
suffered some throat trouble -which at firs
was feared might bo diphtheria. The father
was absolutely distracted nnd refused to
leave her bedside. Microscopic examination
nhowod that the ailment was not the dreat
disease. The child is now well.
Ted Sloan yesterday became embroiled In
n fight with two French Jockeys at Auteul
racetrack , the scene of the famous royalls
manifestation against Loubet. The subjec
of discussion was the Drlscoll-Charlcmon
recent match. Sloan , who was present , con
tended that the decision awarding the vie
tory to the French champion was unfair
Tho. Frenchmen resented ; hence iho blows
Ted rather bested his antagonists , using hi
walking-stick freely. Each three Jockey
were fined 600 franca by the board of man
agers ot the racetrack.

The guillotine lo Just now homeless. Som
months ago the municipal council In obe
dlenco to powerful Influence of property
owners , decreed that public execution
should no longer take place m the famou
Square do la Roquctto. The choice o
nnothor place was postponed for a time
but It Is now stated that the authorities haven
on their hand nn accumulation of crlm
Inals awaiting capital execution. It pester
the aldermen to know where the ghastl ;
machine may bo erected. So far every pro
posal for a new place has met with sue 1
fierce opposition by the Inhabitants of the
ncignooriiood that the matter had to be
abandoned , Delcller , Jr. , hereafter will
probably bo compelled to operate on some
empty lot Just outside the , city limits.
The party of which Henri Rochefort Is
spokesman Is protesting violently against
Loubet' having Just appointed as chaplain
In the Klysee palace Abbe Ilertsog , who cel
ebrated the marrjago of Prince Jean and
Princess Isabcllo d'Orleans the other day
In England. " General Galllfett Is also charged
with disloyalty to the republic for having

burlesque on Grundy's "Degenerates,1
smartly written for him by W. II. Post. Mr

"I merely took up Langtry's play because
It Is a most popular success and I was de

"Our triumph on the first night was duo
mainly to Charles Hawtrey , who happened to
be behind the scenes when Blake , who was
doing a travesty on him , came to mo will
his nose bleeding. I was In despair. The
wbolo seemed to be on the brink of ruin
But Hawtrey said : 'Look here , Hopper , I'l
go on and travesty myself. '
"Ho bad been present nt rehearsal and I

LONDON , Nov. 4. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The fall of
Colenso qulto verifies my dispatches pre
dicting the Isolation ot Lndysmtth and the
mmlnent command ot Natal by the Doers ,
lumors nro prevalent In the clubs tonight
hat Ladysmlth has fallen and Intense alarm
prevails concerning General White's force.
3vcn If Ladysmlth has not fallen the cut-
; Ing off of the railway by the capture of
Colcneo leaves General White with a com
paratively short supply ot ammunition for
the big naval guns , on which the principal
reliance Is placed for keeping the Boers at
bay until relief arrives.
In olllclal military circles It Is generally
believed that the Doer position In Natal Is
strong. It Is deemed certain that General j
Duller will not attempt any advance through J
Natal , but will adhere to his original plan
of entering the Orange Free State by the
western border , proceeding through Dloem-
fontcln to Johannesburg and Pretoria , com
pelling General Joubert and other Doer
commanders to abandon Natal , for defense
of the capital.
There Is an uneasy feeling that the war
office has further news of the disaster be
falling the British forces.
The evacuation of Colenso Is undoubtedly
a rncst serious matter for the Drltlsh In
Natal , for It not only testifies to the com
plete Investment of Ladysmlth by the Doers ,
but makes the relief of Sir George White
an extremely difficult proposition.
At Colenso the railway from Ladysmlth
crosses the Tugela river , which is now in
a flood ,
The seriousness of the evacuation lies in
the fact that Commandant General Jaubert ,
while completely Investing Sir George White
at Ladystilth , can seize this Tugela irldge ,
and If ho has sufficient troops can detach a
force and send It southward on Pletennarltz-
burg , nud in any case by destroying the
bridge and railway can prevent any relict
expedition reaching Sir George White lor
some time.

( Special cable dispatch from war corre
spondent In the besieged town ot Ladysmlth
Message held back three days and mangled
by British censors at Durban nnd Aden. )
The British troops are eager to revenge
the capture of the Gloucestershire regiment
and the Royal Irish Fuslleers. A great ex
odus from the town has begun. The
Standard bank of South Africa and the Na
tional bank closed their doors yesterday.
The British troops are full of fight and
the Boers will meet with a warm reception
If they attack the town , as the garrison Is {
qulto ready for them. The railroad to the
southward ot the town has been Interrupted ; '
so has the telegraph line to Durban via I
Colenso. A Boer commando at least COO I
strong has Just tieen seen from bore passing
southward from Lombard's kopje. They
keep behind Bulwaan , which is occupied
by their pickets nnd Is south of Lombard's
kopje. The big gun of the Boers Is still In
position. Others , too , have probably been
mounted near at hand.
Four naval range guns have been mounted
hero. This afternoon everything la quiet ,
the enemy showing no disposition to corao
to close quarters. The British guns occupy
strong positions nround Ladysmlth and
further developments are awaited with confi
dence , The town Is regarded safe , and
especially since the arrival of the naval
guns. If the Boers attempt to shell it.
I examined all the Boer positions this
morning. The Boors are not showing them
selves , except the commando which marched
on Colenso. I cannot understand the Boer
tactics.
I refrain from cabling nn account of the
battle , owing to the precedence of official
versions.
[ The last sentence may have been added
by some British censor to explain why our
correspondent's story of the battle did not
get through. ]

IXXS'DON , Nov. 4. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Sir Alfred
minor's declaration to James Moltenos , a
member ot the Capo Ipglslaturo and the
leader of "the " Dutch majority In the Cape
Assembly , as to "the " reason for the war , "I
am determined to break .ho dominion of
Afrlktndcrdom , " is legardet as the gravest
and most sinister disclosure yet made of the
spirit In which Chamberlain and Mllner
cold-bloodedly forced on the war.
'Moltenos' ' interview with Mllner took
place four days before the Issue of the- Doer
ultimatum and when illlnor was unable to
answer iMoltenos' arguments on the un-
Justlnablllty of the war lie closed the con
versation with the declaration above cited ,
Thl3 not only tears the mask from the pre
tense that the ultlanders * grievances spurred
Chamberlain and Mllner to take action , but
makes -plain - to the Dutch majority In Cape
Colony and 'South Africa generally that they
are to be placed In a position of permanent
subjection to the Hrltlsu minority. Al
ready , Indeed , this policy is being openly
proclaimed by lenders of tlio South Afflciia
league , the capitalist body whose ( imm
inent IMIlncr has been through the'npROtln-
tlons , for the Chronlcle'n cable from Cape
town today says their pupors "not only n o
writing ut > nnncxatlon ns a forcsono con-
i , but are going to Iho length ot urg-
* readjustment of thn constitution , so as
'rgfbvent the Dutch majority ot the people
f < snpo Colony from assorting the rights of
ISfmnJorlty. "
fcTabouchcre , on the Mol'tenoa Interview ,
fe-"Tlius the real ground for \var Is cnrc-
Pilly concealed until rendered Inevitable and
Rhcso who plotted nnd maneuvered for It
* noxv count upon the passions aroused by
actual conflict to secure oblivion for their
bad faith alike In this' country nud the
Transvaal. As Moltenos Justly observes , net
only Is war Itself bad enough , but the after
effects will be , If possible , worse ; The Eng
lish ami Batch will never rome together
again and South ( Africa will be a hell. "
Not a single Jingo paper has attempted n
word ot explanation or defense ofi Mllncr'a
policy as now exposed. They are probably
waiting for a cue from Capetown.

LONDON , Nov. 4. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) A movement
Is being organized among. English Catholics
to promote n boycott or hostile demonstra
tion against Cardinal Glfibbns If he accepts
Cardinal Vaughan's Invention to attend the
opening of the new Westminster cathedral.
Lccky's denunciation of- Gibbons In a
recently-published wOrk , _ ' 'Tho Map ot
Life , " for his eulogistic preface to the biog
raphy of the late John Boyle O'Reilly Is
cited as ground for English Catholics re
fusing to extend to Gibbons "that hearty
welcome"which Vnughau had bespoken for
him. O'Reilly's conduct In accepting ser
vice In the English Hussars to seduce the
queen's soldiers from their allegiance , Lccky
declared to bo an "act of aggravated treach
ery and perjury" for whtchGlbbons ; , a "per-
leonage who occupies all but" the highest posl-
lion In n church which profcsacs to ha
supreme and the Inspired teacher of morals ,
says not a single word Implying that
O'Reilly had done any act for which ho
need be ashamed. " ' .
Gibbons' eulogy of O'Reilly Is evidently
only a pretext for n movement which springs
really from the Intense antl-Irleh feeling
for which English Catholics have always
been notorious and which Is. now especially
active owing to Irish sympathy with the
Boers. The pcrfcrvld'protestations of
warm sympathy with England by American
correspondents of London papers In Its attack
on tiio existence of the Boer republics have
still left the English 'p'eoplo unconvinced
that the Americans approve of this war. The
chief obstacle to accepting the comforting
assurances of the aforesaid correspondent
Is testified , among qtjir ' things , by the
spirited correspondence no'w proceeding In
the columns of the Tmos. | Waller Phelps
Dodge wrote from thq.Reform club at Pall

sentative character of the signatures to the
memorial to President McKInley in
favor of Intervention , In effect only
means helping tlio Transvaal , for wo want
no assistance. This alone is sufficient to
dispose of Dodge's sweeping statement. To
my mind it Is even remarkable that the
Americans arc not assuming the attitude of
pronounced hostility to us. Had the present
crisis come before Instead of after the
American war with Spain , I am persuaded
the public opinion of the United States
would lie overwhelmingly strong against

Lcydo Is pilloried by the English war
press as a man of odious character. No
charge Is too virulent or too wild to be
hurled against him. .Ills treacherous In
trigue against the British empire In South
Africa , they say , Is promoted by wholesale
bribery , corruption and systematized lying
Is freely declared to bo his dally bread. It
Is threatened that If be falls Into English
hands he should be treated not as a prisoner
of war , but summarily shot as n spy. He Is
represented as the arch-typo of England's
Hollander foes , a man commanding an unlimited -
limited secret service fund , unscrupulously
lavish In soiling by every opprobrious device
England's fair fame ; In short , a monster of
Iniquity , compared with whom Machlavcllt
was an angel of light. Never surely was
such an atrocious character disguised under
an exterior nnd personality so attractive.
Your correspondent has met Lcydo and
talked with him at the office of the South
African republic at Brussels within the past
few days. Ho IH n young man , not yet forty ,

with a well-knit frame. His thick , dark
brown hair , carelessly brushed back from
a Una Intellectual brow , his largo dark eyes
bavo an open , fearless and somewhat dreamy
expression , his long , heavy moustache covers
a well-cut , kindly mouth , his strong chin
speaks courage and determination. Every
line In the aspect of bis face Is rather that
of an artist and thinker than a man of
pctlon , though Lcydo combines all three
characteristics. His voice Is soft and melo
dious , his manner honest and dignified , In
every word and action a gentleman und man
of courage. Of his English opponents bo' '
speaks without rancour. His adm'lratlon
and sympathy for General White Is un
feigned. His detractors he dismisses with
'
a smtlo of good-natured contempt. His
desperate situation as representing a race
gallantly struggling against hopeless odds
ho fully realizes. Said he ;
"I am hoping that the valor of my country
cannot go unrequited , The outlook Is
black. England Is resolved on conquest ,
but wo have friends and may yet avert a
catastrophe which Is apparently Inevitable.
The heroic generosity of the World's action
merits our undying gratitude , and 1 do not
despair. It may oven yet bear fruit with
the liberty-loving American people nnd the
government. "

The registration yesterday in the city of

list. The figures above arc the totals for
the entire city with the exception of the
third day's registration In fourteen pre
cincts. The missing precincts nro four In
the Sixth and ten in the Third ward.
The figures show that the republicans will
have a largo majority on election day if the
ballots reflect the sentiment expressed lu
reply to the question regarding party af
filiations. Out of 16,185 voters reported
registered , 8,683 recorded themselves as be
longing to the republican party , while only
3,487 said they were democrats. The popu
lists number only 334 and the silver repub
licans elnk almost out ot sight with 13D.
The number declining to put themselves on
record for either party Is 3,544.
Summing up the returns from the regis
tration books gives the republicans an excess
over the fuslonlsts In the city of Omaha of
4,713 and an excess over all , including both
fuslonlsts and those who have stated no
party affiliations , of 1,169.
Dny Pnmicii Off Qnletlr-
The third day's registration passed oft
quietly and taken altogether may bo consid

exceed that of last year by more than 1,500.
The republicans seem to have maintained
the lead everywhere which they established
on the first day. In some ot the upper wnrda
they show ; four republicans to onq fuslcmlst ,
while In strong-democratic precincts the re
publicans play even with their opponents.

ber the democrats who are recorded.
It the answers given to the registrars nro
reliable straws everything portends a sweep
ing republican victory nt the polls Tuesday.
As the returns from the registration booths
were brought In to the republican headquar
ters the confidence of the campaign man
agers in the promise of republican success
was noticeably strengthened. Workers were
out all day for the fusion aggregation , but
they seemed to accomplish little In the way
of results , notwithstanding the fact that they
had been made to realize the desperation In
which the fusion cause bad been placed by
the wretched showing made by the fuslonlets
on the preceding registration days.

Due to Slilendld Team Work.
As lengthening shadows cast themselves
over thu gridiron nt Ames Avcnuo park Sat
urday evening eleven bruised nnd battered
men slunk ( rum a Held whom they hail bat
tled for Nebraska. Tauntingly to their cars
came tha shouts ot the victors , luwa hail
defeated Nebraska by the scoreof 30 to 0.
Hitter Indceil was the draught that Ne
braska quaffed and to the clrcgi It drank. The
past season has been a most Inglorious oue ,
'out the defeats that Nebraska luu had have
been berne with the stolclam of the Spartan.
Through all of them gleamed the ray of hope
that she might redeem herself In the annual
battle with Iowa. Dut nil the life and heart
and moral backbone were squeezed und
pushed nnd battered from her. A victoty
over the conquering lowaus would have
mcaut nioro than ono can realize. It would
have given the supporters of Nebraska re
newed courage , It would have quickened th
iletormlnntlon and added Inspiration to lha
'varsity eleven and It would have been a
beacon In view ot the remaining games ot
the season. Its moral effect would have been
Incalculable. Hut Nebraska was not equal
to the task allotted her and she went down
to defeat a defeat BO inglorious and so de
cisive as to throw a pall over nil of the wear
ers of the cream and scarlet.
The gods who In mythology nro presumed
to preside over the elements could not have
favored the players nnd the spectators with
n more perfect day. The crlspness of a de
lightful Nebraska autumnal afternoon was
tempered by the bright rays of the sun. Not
a breath of air was stirring , These condi
tions , combined with the great Interest al
ways taken In the annual Xoot ball contests
between the Universities of Iowa and Ne
braska , resulted In a splendid attendance at
Atnej Avenue park.
Crou-il IH UiitluiHlnntic.
Long before the players arrived the seats
In th-o grandstand were 'being ' filled and a
big crowd surrounded the ropes In the north
aide of the gridiron. There wore parties of
students representing both universities.
Thcso were conspicuous because of their Joyousness -
ousness and confidence lu ( ho ability of tholr
team to win the victory. They rent the at
mosphere with college yells , class songs and
characteristic yells appropriate to the occa
sion. Matured men and women shared the
enthusiasm of the younger sets nnd the
presence of ribbons and etrcamers either
old gold or cream nnd scarlet Indicated
that they were alumni. Others who wors
partisans because of their residence either
In Iowa or Nebraska , or because of having
friends In ono university or the other , or
for any ono of numerous other reasons joined
In the enthusiastic spirit of the hour and
contributed to a Jolly time -while awaiting
the arrival of the teams. A big tallyho
loaded to IU ) extreme capacity , was driven
over the Held and to the din were added th
songs and yells of the boys from Crelghton
Medical college.
boon tuere was a flutter In the grand
stand. Pretty maidens arose excitedly and
waved Hags and ribbons until In their en
thusiasm their faces glowed -with excite
ment nnd approached In color the Bcarlet
ribbons which , together with the cream , be
tokened that they were Nebrankans. Cap
tain Williams and his braves had pranced
out on the field.
Nebraska cheers had hardly subsided
before a lusty-lunged lowan shouted , "Hero
come the Hawkeyes , " Another mighty
cheer arose and It seemed that the nd-
mlrera of the lowans outnumbered the No-
braskans. It was now nearly tlmo for the
game to start and the crowd had constantly
been augmented until It was even larger
than many of the crowds heretofore In
attendance upon these games , even -when
they have been played on holidays.
From the small army of players who
awnrmed over the diamond clad In heavily- / |
padded sweaters and a complement of foot- . ' ,
'
boll armor , twenty-two picked men took
their places on the chalk marks and waited
for the word to begin the struggle. It waste
to ho a friendly contest and yet grim de
termination was depleted upon the coun
tenance of every man. The Nebraskans
were praying the fates to deal kindly with
them and Importuned fortune's favor. The
lowana were determined that their brilliant
record should not ho blighted by n defeat.
TonolidiMvn In Three Minute * .
Three minutes after the game was started
Iowa had made the first touchdown. Fol
lowing a short kick-off and n wretched fum
ble by n Nebraskan the Hawkeyes followed
the ball right down the field to the west
goal which Nebraska tried so desperately
to protect. "It's a cakewalk , " shouted nn )
exuberant urchin , and his uttcranccH came '
near expressing the truth. Try as they
might to check the onward advance of the
lowans the Nebraskans were unable to and
gains through the line and around the ends ,
were made nt will by ( ho wearers of the >
old gold. Never once did they lose the pig. I
akin until It had been thrust over the line , I
, Bvcn at this stage of the game , foot bull /
enthusiasts who viewed the spectacle know
that NebrBHku was outclassed , The touch
down BO enry | In the game was unfortunate ,
It grieved the Nebraska rooters and they
never fully recovered frcm Its depressing
effects. Hut the Iowa contingent went wild ' ,
In IU enthuslaam and filled the air with a ' (
deafening roar. That's the way the Hist '
touchdown affected the spectators. On the
part of the players it gave the lowans con
fidence , but the Ncbraskans were dozed ,
dumbfounded and It Ifl charitableto attribute *
It to this touchdown completely demor
alized. l
. , |
Following this touchdown the Nehrasknna \
had their first opportunity In offensive play. j
Ing. Following the klckoff by Nebraska tha ;
pigskin noon came Into Its pontesslon on
a punt and the crowd which filled the grand- < \
eland and surged along the north side line
had plenty of reason to cheer , for Captain f
Williams' men fought with a desperation j
and uucceeded in breaking through lowa'a '
defense for veveral gains. On Iowa's twenty- \
yard line an opportunity presented iteelf fern
n spectacular play , Crnnddll tried u dropkick -
kick from the field. The spheroid sailed
majestically through the lr and N braekkn
