UYED. THE BNOLISH ARB HAVINO A HARD TIME. CAII'TSUPFilESSDOERS Tha Brave Dutch of South Africa Still Defy Brltlan and Will Fight For Months. London, Oct. SO.

The Boers have effected an un broken aeries of considerable successes In every corner of the theater of war, and th gravest of them all Is the evi dence of their ability to Isolate Cape Colony from the north.

It will be Impossible to suppress the dissatisfaction In the north of the col ony. If families are deported, as was done at Jagersfontein, after an attack from the garrison there, the Boers wiii be able to fight for months among the trackless highlands and easily destroy parties of troops If the attempt Is made to burn and rase the little homesteads. The uitlanders at Cape Town are growing uply, and riots are possible un less they return to Johannesburg soon. BOERS CAPTURE JACOBSDAL. British Suffer a Lose of Over Half tha Garrison.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 30 Harold Verge, superintendent of the Orinoco company's mines in Venezuela, arrived here today. When he left three weeks ago its officers were in daily expecta tion of the annulment of the company's land grant of 14,000,000 acres of land by Dictator Castro, which came a few days after he left. Mr. Verge says this action is a part of a deep laid plan to confiscate the American company's property and turn the concession over to an English syndicate, which has been waging bitter war upon the Americans. ' United States Consul Loomis.he says, has stood quietly by during the progress of the Intrigue and made no protest. This has encouraged Castro to go ahead In the belief that there would be no protest from the United States govern ment, for which he has a wholesome re gard. The action Is a great hardship to the company, causing the suspension of its operations and the abandonment of a number of valuable sub-contracts. Vigorous efforts will be made to have the state department t!".a Ycnei'J Ian government to time. INFANT WORSE THAN SPAIN. Proffeesor of Filipino University Charges Serious Fraud, Chicago. (Special.)

Last night three times that number of men, women and children assembled at the points where he was to speak or massed themselves In the streets through which he was to pass. In Madison Square garden and park, which had resounded the night before with plaudits for McKinley and Roose velt and groans for Bryan, the name of the republican candidates were hiss ed and Jeered at while Bryan was hailed with acclamation. The outpouring be low Fourteenth street and In the east aide, made a record-breaking manifesta tion of popular Interest. In Second avenue between Fifth and Twenty-fifth streets, Mr. Bryan drove through a mile of closely packed hu manity. ' Even 'n the heart of a dis trict of the city where his friends are supposed to be least numerous, the demonstration was remarkable. STANDS BY SILVER. Mr. Bryan had made up his mind to take up the republican accusation con tained In the accusation that he had dodged free silver in the east. In his speeesi in Cooper Union he declared that he still stood where he stood four years ago on the financial question, and that he had not attempted to conceal the fact. Nevertheless he Insisted that Imperi alism was the paramount Issue. While Mr. Bryan was making his way through . cheering multitudes to the smaller meetings arranged for him, David B. Hill and Bourke Cockran were holding the attention of the audience of 12,000 which filled Madison Squaer Garden.

Mr. Hill dwelt upon Mr. Bryan's un questioned integrity and did not forget to say a word for the democratic state ticket. COCKRANS TRIBUTE. Mr. Cockran was greeted by tremen Jous applause. He spoke for more than in hour, being forced to kill time while Mr. Bryan was at the Hoffman house having his throat sprayed, which de layed him half an hour.

Mr. Bryan arrived at 10 o'clock. Great applause and mighty cheers pre vented him from speaking for nearly fifteen minutes. After the frantic shouti for Bryan, the audience, which had arisen all over the main floor of the garden, turned Its bark upon him and saluted Mrs. Bryan with a demonstra inon as enthusiastic as that which had been given to her husband. She looked very much pleased, but a little embar rassed by the tribute. Mr. Bryan spoke clearly and was dis tinctly heard. He took up in turn the principles enumerated In the Kansas City platform, devoting more or less time to each In proportion as he re garded them as more or less Important He gave out a text from Proverbs: "Remove not the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set." With this ns his theme, he argued that the democratic party had become the conservative parly, seeking to sus tain the time-honored principles of the government, while the republicans had become revolutionary. Mr. Bryan quoted Senator Scott's d laratian in favor of trusts at the Kootievelt dinner, accused Governoi Roosevelt of dodging his argument aguinst a large standing army, opposed government by Injunction and devoted .nuch of his forty-ve minutes to im perialism.

Every man who signed the address. voted for President McKlnley foar years ago. The address follows: "The undersigned, cltisens of the?

"We have not prior to this year sup ported the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. We do not now concur in certain of hie views on minor issues. Yet his position, on the supreme issue of the present campaign is so sound, and his advocacy of It has been so able and courageous that we now favor his election as tha most effective way of showing disap proval of Mr. McKlnley's course. With out claiming any special political influ ence, we unite, for what our example may be worth to our fellow cltisens, la this statement of proposed action la tha presence of a greater danger than we have encountered since the . pilgrims landed at Plymouth the danger that we are to be transformed from a repub lic, founded on the Declaration of Inde pendence, guided by the counsels of Washington, Into a vulgar, common place empire, founded on physical force."
