" EXPECT A LONG DEATH ROLL Tliouo Ac < | tmln < cil with MHhtiiMi Think 111 * DfNurliillun of Ziiitllc 1'orocnnlN IV-urful Sliiuulitcr. LONDON , Nov. 30. Although telegraph and railroad communication Is open with Modder river , tie further news of General Mcthuen's movement or the big fight had been given out up to 2:30 : o'clock this after- noon. This Is generally taken to Indicate that General Methuen In again on the march and that , as heretofore , ho will not again bo heard from until ho has fought another battle nnd gained another stage. That the general anltldpated dogged resistance on hie northward inarch Is shown by the speech which ho delivered to his troops November 27 , after the battle of Graa Pan , reports of which have Just arrived here. After read- j Ing a telegram from Governor Mllncr , conj - j gratulatlng the troops and sympathizing with the wounded. General Methuen person ally congratulated the troops on the work done nnd expressed appreciation of the man ner In which they had endured the hard- ; ships. The work , ho said , was the most severe encountered by the British army for many n long day. They had In front of them , he added , an enemy to whom they could not afford to give a single point. Their tactics had been excellent and he recognized and admired their courage. Continuing , General Methucn said that when called upon to fight for his country ha preferred to fight a foe worthy of his steel rather than savages whose solo recom mendation waa bravery. Ho then expressed the hoce that ho and his men had gained each other's confidence and would all do their duty to their country , as Englishmen should. General Methuen also described as "das tardly" the conduct of the Boers In firing on ambulance wagons , the shooting of r. British officer by a wounded Boer and the Boers' use of dumdum bullets , but ha re- fuecrt to bellevo that these acts were char acteristic of the Boers. He gave thorn credit , until convinced to the contrary , that they , llko the British , wished to fight fair nnd square. These who nro acquainted with General Methuen think his torso description of the battle of Modder river forecasts "a fearful ' . " butchers' bill. Llttlo attention was paid hero to the flimsy fabrication announcing the fall of | Ladysmlth. The dispatch caused frenzies j of Joy In Paris , but It Is Impossible to make j a Briton bellevo that , after withstanding j the slego eo long , General White , with the thunder of General Clery's guns at Colenso telling of the coming relief , would yield bis pcsIMou while a rouncl'of nmmunltlon or a man was left. The news of the British succe < ses will speedily spread far nnd wide among the Boers. The War office officials today reiterate that they have received absolutely nothing to Indicate the slightest likelihood of Lady- smith surrendering , while , on the other hand , they expect the place will be relieved shortly. General Buller's dispatch from Pletenmar- Itzburg' yesterday would hardly have dealt with belated details of the situation at Ladysmlth If there was anything serious In the report. Slnco then has come the dis patch from Estcourt , saying General Joubert | Is hastening back to oppose Colonel Baden- I Powell. This is Incomprehensible hero and ; It la generally supposed that names have been mixed up. But In some quarters con jectures are ventured that the besiegers of Mafeklng have withdrawn southward and permitted Colonel Baden-Powell to Icavo that place and that bo Is now In conjunction with Colonel Plumer of Fort Tull , trav ersing the Transvaal. It Is claimed that If General Joubert Is traveling In an omnibus ho must be sick or wounded. A dispatch frcwn Capetown , dated Monday , November 27 , gives reports of the nervous ness of the Boers wi the Orange Free State j border. Some of the Boer forces , It Is added , I have been hurriedly withdrawn from Lady Grey and Barkley east. REPORT BRITISH SUCCESSES Twelfth I.nnc-oi-N' Atlnuk n.

HORSETHIEF KILLS HIMSELF _ Hnil .Mnn from South Dakota CiitN Ilia Throut While- oil n. llnll- ronil Trill n. SIOUX CITY , la. . Nov. 30. ( Special Tol- egram. ) A wildly tragic suicide of a Black Hills horscthlef nnd allround desperado tcok place at noon today on a train of the Sioux City & Western near Sioux City. The smoking car of the train was crowded at the time. The man was Harry Ilogers , who was being taken by Sheriff Sweeney nnd n deputy from Butte county , South Dakota , to the penitentiary. The prisoner was known as a dangerous roan , one who would shoot or kill in a desperate attempt to make his escape. The officers had kept the man between them all the way and most of the time ho had been laughing nnd Joking. When the train was moving along at a rapid rate Rogers spoke to the deputy , who was sitting Just In front or him , asking for his pocketknife - knife , saying ho wanted to clean his finger nails. Thoughtlessly the request was gianted and In a second the big fellow seemed to become a wild maniac. Ho lot out an exultant whoop nnd made , . ; * dash at the conductor of the train. The next minute ho cut a gash In his own throat and Just at this minute the sheriff pulled a gun and was about to. fire , when Ilogers turned. ' 'Hold on there , " shouted the sheriff , and the passengers made wild dives under the seats. Ilogers saw he was looking down the barrels of two big revolvers. His eyes were wild , his face ghastly and blood vao flowing from the wound in his neck. He still kept the knife In his stained hands. Ho made a lunge forward and hesitated as though ho knew it meant Instant death to go further. Then It was ho held up his left hand In a deprecating sort of a way , "which plainly said , "Don't shoot , " and with four terrible stabs In quick succession he sent the sharp blade of the knlfo deep Into his neck. With an awful oath that made the blood of his hearers run cold , an oath which was half wall and half curse , the horsethlef fell on his back and expired Instantly on the floor of the car. Not until ho was dead did the frightened passengers recover their senses nnd oven then they kept out of the car until the body of the desperado had been re moved. The South Dakota officers will return to the Black Hills with their dead prisoner. The conductor of the train , Tom DeLong , had the nearest escape at the hands of the man , as ho was sitting just across the aisle , but the revolver In the hands of Sheriff Sweeney probably saved him. BIG CHICAGO RAILWAY DEAL l/'nlon Trncllon Comnnny 1'iirehnNen the Yerkex liiterextN III Suhnr- lilln Ilien. [ CHICAGO , Nov. SO. The Chicago Union Traction company's purchase of the Yerkes Interests In thesuburban1 lines composing the Chicago Consolidated Traction company , which was announced yesterday , will bo followed In a very short time , It Is said , by the purchase of the Yerkes Interests In the suburban railroad company. Negotiations are already under way , but terms will not bo arranged until after the purchase of the Consolidated company's lines has been com pleted and Uho cash has been paid over. The Suburban Railroad company operates thirty miles of track west of the city limits and serves as a feeder 'to ' the LMetropollton and Lake Street Elevated railroads. For this reason Its acquisition has not been con sidered so Important by the Union Traction company people as. the acquisition of the Consolidated company's lines owned by the Union Traction company Itself. The capital stock of the Suburban road Is $1,250,000 and there are 5 per cent gold bonds to the same amount outstanding. When this purchase has been made Mr. Yorkes will have disposed of the last particle of his Interests In surface roads In Chicago with the exception of his stock In the Union Traction company Iteelf.

PRAISE DUE TO SALISBURY IlfiN Iinnrovrit thr I'oxllloii of ICiiR- liiiul In UN Knrt-lKii lloln- llOIIH. LONDON , Nov. 30. Joseph Chamberlain , the secretary of state for the colonies , In a speech at n luncheon at Leicester today , said that ever elnco the great split In the liberal party ho had found himself n mark for the slander anil misrepresentation of the "baeer sort of politicians , " but that ho had found compensation In the generous appreciation of the majority of his country men , Continuing. Mr. nhamborlnln said ho was deeply gratified that Iho foreign relations of Great Britain wore so ( satisfactory and asserted that the country owed a debt ol gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the great Improvement In Great Britain's position. It was especially gratifying , ho said , to note the friendly.relations existing between the Anglo-Saxon branches , saying that the understanding between the United States and Great Britain was Indeed a guaranty of tbo peace of the world. This statement was greeted with cheers. It was of the utmost Importance , Mr. Chamberlain further remarked , that Great Britain should not remain Isolated In Eu rope nnd Us natural alliance was with the great German empire. They bad had diffi culties with Germany , but their 1/itcrests and sentiments wcro the same. The world , ho asserted , was not governed entirely by Interest. Sentiment was one of the greatest factors. Ileferrlng to the attacks of the foreign press Mr. Chamberlain said these news papers had not even spared "the almost sacred person of the queen. " This , con tinued the speaker , provoked natural Indig nation , "which may have serious consequences quences If our neighbors/do not mend their ways. " An outburst of cheeringgreeted this threat of the colonial secretary ; It was a matter for Congratulation , Mr. Chamberlain assorted , that the worst of iheso "disgraceful attacks" did not appear In the German press. A new triple alltanco between the Teutonic race nnd the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxons would , said the colonial secre- tnry , bo a potent influence In the future of the world. The speaker explained that ho used the word "alliance , " 'but IK mattered llttlo whether .hoy hid asU -cmnmltttii tr paper or "an understanding which existed In the minds of the statesmen of the re spective countries. A determination in every case to look for favorable motives upon the part of those with whom friend ship was desired would be an enormous ad vantage to both the nations concerned and others.

The Sentinel tomorrow - ' morrow will say : Wisconsin will not play , Chicago at Madison December 0. CHICAGO , Nov. 30. Dofcffowhat was probably the largest crowd that ever gath ered to witness a foot ball game in the ' west the eleven from the University of i Wisconsin defeated the University of Mlchi- | gun eleven on the National League base < ball grounds this morning by a score of 17 to 5. The mighty right leg of Pat 0 Dea , . tbo Wisconsin captain and fullback , was a big factor In the one-sided score , as ho was responsible for ten of tbo paints scored ' by the Badgers. Once ho Ilited the Lall cleanly between the goal posts .from the tblrty-flvo-yard line and ouco his punt went so far that McLean misjudged It and , fumb ling , gava Hyman a chance to fall on the pigskin behind Michigan's goal posts , which ho did. The second touchdown by Wisconsin was made by clean , hard foot ball. In the second half the light but active linesmen from Wisconsin opened holes In the Michigan forwards through which Pcele , Larson , Curtis and Blair plunged for lilg gains. The defensive work of the Wis consin eleven was remarkable , and time and again Sweely and Kcena wcro forced to punt , the exchanges , while O'Dea was In the game , always resulting In big losses for Michigan , O'Dea , however , was ruled out for slugging on the play that resulted In a touchdown by Hyman , nnd Driver , who took bis place , was much Inferior to Michi gan's kickers , though he did splendid uo.-k In plunging through the line. Wisconsin was expected to show Inferiority In Its of fensive game , but the way the Badger backs toro through was a surprise to oven tholr most enthusiastic rooters. Mlehlcuii oil the DefeiiNlvc , During most of the game Michigan was on the defensive nnd poor Judgment on the part of Wisconsin In the first half In at tempting n falto kick when the ball was In a splendid position for a kick from Iho field probably cost the Badgers five yards. In the second half also tbo ball was worked down the field twice to within fifteen yards of Michigan's goal line , but In both In stances the Wisconsin's forwards vwore guilty of holding In the line and the call went over.

( Special j Telegrnm. ) The condition of Senator Hny- ward this evening shows little change from what It was twenty-four hours ago. Ho passed an uncomfortable night and has been very restless and uneasy today. I ) . Whlt- tcn spent moat of the night at bin bed side and has watched him closely during the day. At 6 o'clock tonight ho lssuo.1 tbo following bulletin : "Senator Haywnrd has had a very rest less day , having slept very little. His tem perature is 100 , pulse 89 , regular nnd softer than In the morning ; respiration 24 and .itlll Intermitting. Ho Is moro conscious of his condition , ns he manifested more concern about himself. Paralysis remains the same. " The fact that the patient Is more con scious of his1 condition Is taken by Dr. Whltten as a good symptom. In that it , shows that his mind Is brighter and more j free , Indicating parllal absorption of the clot , and yet If ho becomes greatly con cerned and worried the effect Is likely to bo unfavorable. Major E. B. Haywnrd , the senator's brother , together with his wife , arrived from Davenport , In. , nt 9:30 : this morning and has been at his brother's bedsldo almost the entire day. The sccno In the sick room upon the major's entrance "was very affect- Ing. Senator Hayward recognized his brother Instantly and apparently made a supreme effort to speak to him. Falling to utter a single Intclllble word , he burst Into tears and could not be quieted for some time. Mrs. Hayward was finally prevailed upon to take a few hours' rest last night and as a consequence Is feeling much better physically today. However , her concern about her husband's condition Is as great as over. HIGH PRICE FOR RANGE STOCK IJiiiirh of Hereford SITM ( Sold nt Denver Ilrlntr the Hlnlicnt Price Hliice IS * ; : .

Ilnrry Trumble , collector for the Packers' National bank , shot and killed highway man near the corner of Twenty-fourth ami J streets shortly after 9 o'clock last night. Mr. Trumble had been at the bank until it few minutes before 9 o'clock when he started home. While passing In front of the vacant lot on the west side of Twenty-fourth itrcoi. Just south of the Roberts block , two men Jumped out of the shadows and attempted to hold him up. In ouc of his overcoat pockets Mr. Trumblo carried a revolver and ho llrcd at the man who had gripped him around the neck. The bullet pierced the lower portion of the heart ami the footpad fell to the pavement. The companion of the dead highwayman ran to the saloon at the corner of Twenty- fourth and K streets find called to Frank Thompson , the proprietor of the place , that a shooting scrape was In progress and asked him to notify the police. Then the highway man's assistant disappeared before anyone had an opportunity of detaining him or ask ing any of the particulars.

In speaking of the affair Mr. Trumble said : "I was passing along Twenty-fourth street and when In front of the vacant lot two men Jumped out at mo. Ono of the men threw his arm around my neck and throw my head back In an attempt to strangle me. As soon as I realized what was up I pulled my revolver , which was In my right hand overcoat pocket , and fired. AH I am In tha habit of carrying money I keep a revolver about my person nearly all of the time. While walking along on the way home I was dreading the dark walk down J street and that accounted for my having my hand on my revolver. When. 1 saw that I was get ting the worst of It I ilred In order to pro tect myself. " Trurablo fired two shots and he Is of the opinion that the first Hhot did no damage , as his assailant did not let loose hU hold until after the second shot had been fired. Quito a crowd gathered at the feed store In a short tlmo to view the remains of tha dead highwayman. Some little difficulty was experienced In securing the attendance of a physician , but finally Dr. Alberry arrived and after a brief examination pronounced the man dead. Those who carried the robbe" Into the feed store do not think ho was dead at that time , ns his eyes were not closed. Mr. Trumblo says the robber made no attempt to speak after the second shot was fired. Senreh I InIloily. . Undertaker Brewer took charge of the body and removed It to the morgue where a search of the clothing was mudn In the presence ( if Captain Alllo and Olllcer Montague.

Some tickets for dances In a tough portion of Chicago were found and also nn engagement ticket announcing that W. Cummlngs had been engaged to com mence work on November 11 for the Oxnard Construction company. As no city is men tioned on the ticket It Is supposed that tha Oxnard company at Ames , Nob. , Is meant. In n little note book the name of William Cummlngs , 5122 Wabash avenue , Chicago , Ii written , The police do not think that Cum mlngs Is ( ho real name of the dead man , but ono which 'ie assumed when ho left Chicago. The dead robber Is about flvo feet eight Inched tall with very black hair and dark complexion. Ho had high cheek bones and was fairly well dressed. It Is presumed thill lui wan about twenty-threo years of age. Upon looking at his hands the police declared that ho was not n man used to hard work. When the newvi of the killing became known general satisfaction was expressed at thu fact that a highwayman had boon I shot down while trying to rob a man cti tha publfo streets , What makes the act all thu moro daring Is the fact that an electric street light is located hardly 300 feet from tbo sccnu of the killing.
