LONDON , Nov. G. ( New Yorc ! World Cablegram. ) Stevens cables the Dally Mall of the Ladysmith bom bardment November 3 : "The arrival of the naval brigade on Monday was most opportune. It would do you good to FCC the great-chested , bcardud , steadfast men amid our army of boyu. They -lid line service yeser- day , when they mounted their guns In record time and silenced a "Long Tom" at ( i o'clock. "Long Tom" was tried again , but the bluejackets again silenced him in the second round. Wo lost three wounded , Including , un fortunately , an officer. "Tho feature of yesterday's fighting was the great variety of Uoer guns dis closed. The effect of the eight hours artillery fight was terrible , though less deadly than the Infantry combat. An incessant boom of guns and hiss and rattle of shells gave a particularly re morseless Impression and emphasized the helplessness of man before the deadly machines which he creates. This was heightened by the cloudless sunshine. "Tho escape of ono man from de struction by a bursting shell was very singular. The shell burst near him , turning ono side of his bayonet into a complete corkscrew , a fragment of th's shell piercing his water bottle on the other side , the man escaping unhurt. Some arc disposed to criticise our ar tillery practice , but It must be remem bered that the Boers' guns outrange ours. " LONDON , Nov. 7.

" HARRISON HOME fROM PARIS. former President llaH 'I'llIk With Kulftct anil Deserlhrn Illn Trip Abroad. NEW YORK , Nov. G. Ex-President HiirrlKon , who went to Paris In May ( IB founscl for Venezuela before the Anglo-Venezuelan arbitration commis sion , was a passenger On the American line steamship St. Paul , which arrived hero today.

"After leaving Paris I socnt some little time in Germany and while ihcre I saw the kaiser. 1 talked wits him for a short time and found him a very asrceablc man. When you ask me what he said , 1 shall have to answer as I did In Germany when ono of th roportcni there ahked me that question : 'You will have to ask the kr-laer. ' I stopped for a short time In London be fore sailing to this country. The weath er wr.s thick when 1 was there and I caught a bad cold in the fog. I at tended a dinner at the London Chan- ber of Commerce just before sailing. It was iirlvatc. No reporters were pres ent and I made a little sueech.

C.This evening a flct of transports and gunboats left Ma nila for the most Important expedition of the autumn campaign. Its destina tion Is supposed to be Dagupan or some other northern port.

The transports Sheridan , Francisco de Reyce and Aztec carry the trooys , with the gunboat Helena as escort. A dispatch boat was sent ahead to arrange a rendezvous with the Unite 1 States cruiser Charleston and the other warships that are patrolling the north coast of Luzon. The landing will bo made under cov- 01 of the guns of the fleet. It Is as sumed here that the purpose of the expedition is to move down the Dag- upan-Manila railroad toward Tnrlae or to prevent Anuinaldo's forces making another base further north. Dagupan and Apparri are the strong holds of the insurgents in the nortli and it is supposed are the points where most of the filibustering parties land. IIOBART ABOUT HIE SAME , There IK No Improvement In Condition of Vie. * J'renldcnt. PATERSON , N. J. , Nov. C. There was no improvement in the condition of Vice President Hobart today. Mes sages of sympathy were received from President McKinley , Secretary of State Hay and Mrs. Hay and General Wes ley Merritt. Among the callers at tha Hobnrt residence was Attorney General Grlggs.

"Do you think Mr. Hobart has a chance to recover ? " he was asked. "I can only compare his case with others of this kind. " "Did the others you refer to ever get better ?

The map is from the latest and most authentic data and be sides being technically exact It gives at a glance the entire sweep of country in which the fighting Is going on. Tin map is primarily for the use of the war department , but in view of the wide spread public interest in the South African struggle a limited number are being supplied to libraries and news papers for ready reference during the progress of hostilities. Kuril President In WHEELING , W. Va. . Nov. G. A special from 3uckhannon , W. Va. , says : Martin Williams , a student at the Conference seminary here , in com. pany with other students , last night burned the president in effigy. Semi nary special police hastened to the scene , when the boys ran and to stop them several shots were fired. Wil liams fell and must have lain uncon scious for an hour or more.

While the wires | to Lndysmlth arc cut , the optimism of the war officials yesterday evening In i refusing to believe that Ladysmith was completely invested or Coienso cap tured appears to be justified , as this morning It was asserted that the rail road Is still open , though traffic ban been conducted with the greater cau tion. What , however , was only a ru mor yesterday evening may , It Is as serted , be a reality at any moment , as Gencial Joubcrt , with a laige force , is expected to detach a body of several thousand men and make a dash at the railroad. Rumors of all kinds are springing up here. It is even asserted that General White lias been compelled to fall back oi < Pictermaritzburg , leaving his wounded behind. Probably such ru mors have their origin in the recollec tion of the ominous silence which pre ceded the evacuation of Dundee. But on the other hand it is asserted that the conditions arc altered and the Britisli guns now seem more than equal to the artillery of the Boers , thus enhancing the difficulty of any assault on the British lines. A Capetown dispatch reports a re pulse of the Boers by the British yes terday. While there Is a habit hero to assume that news of Boer victories emanating from the continent cannot be true , because of the censorship , the faet Is forgotten that foreign govern ments are fully privileged to send and receive cipher messages to and from their representatives in South Africa. The list of casualties among the non commissioned officers and men at Far- quhar's farm shows the Glouccsters lost thirty killed and fifty-three wounded ; the Fuslleers lost ten killed and forty-one wounded and the Tenth Mountain battery two wounded , before they surrendered. The captured , who are given under the head of missing , are divided as follows : Gloucester , 19 officers and 350 men ; Tenth Moun tain battery , ( i officers and 84 men ; Fu- sileers not yet reported. As a matter of fact , the rumors of the capture of the Hufcsars , the occupa tion of Dundee and the disaster of Monday came first from Berlin , from which city , also , came the first news of the Jameson raid. So tidings of any British reverse arc as likely to come from there as from anywhere. General White's position Is acknowledged to be so precarious that the landing of a big naval brigade to go to his assistance is being advocated. While yesterday's rumors of Boer and British victories are taken hero to indicate that some serious operations have been carried out it is generally recognized that moat of the news at present is largely surmise and must be accepted with great caution. ESTIMATE OF BOER LOSSES. Most of Them Said to He Duo to Artil lery 1'lrp. LONDON , Nov. 4. Belated dispatch es from the British camp at Ladysmith , Natal , add little information regarding Monday's fight , except the estimates of the Boor losses which are now said to be ninety-five killed and 200 wounded , mostly victims of artillery sliplls , which have done such great havoc that it is said General Joubert , the Bner commander In chief has written a let ter to General White , the British com mander , protesting against the use of lyddite. According to all accounts the presence at Ladysmith of the long range naval guns and the bglcndld shooting of the bluejackets have ma terially improved the position of the British. A temporary armistice was declared Monday evening to allow of the collection of the dead and wound ed. A dispatch from Klmberley , dated October 29 , said all the wounded were " doing well. Small bodies of" Boers , about 400 strong , were then frequently seen. They apparently came from Matching , for the purpose either of as sisting in the attach of Klmberlrv or to resist the advance of reinforcements. The absence of water outside the place causes the Boors to continually move their ennuis , Now Kiillrotiil for Iowa. NEVADA , Neb. , Nov. 4. Parties in terested in the proposed Duluth & New Orleans railway are .sanguine of the success of the management in securing funds for the road's construction. E. W. Gilford , who Is one of the promi nent promoters of the project , has re ceived word from the company's repre sentative In New York that a Wall street firm has consented to purchase the bonds of the road and asks that a representative be sent to close up the deal. New Mi'tliod railed. EGANSV1LLE , Ont. , Nov. 4. A. M. Yastcr , who on Tuesday last murdered his wife and -year-old daughter , com mitted suicide today by taking poison.

The Record says today : The meeting of the national democratic executive commltttee in Chicago November 20 Is to bo a double- barreled affair. It will be a business meeting of the committee and a con ference of national lenders of the dem ocratic party. W. J. Bryan will be in the city at that time and senators and national representatives on their way to Wash ington from the west will spend a couple of days in this city to meet east- am and southern democrats who are tipected to trutlitr here November 20. JEFfRIES WINS THE FIGHT. Clmmplnn .TeRiltK mid Hnllor Minrkoy Meet IB HlriR In I'lnk of Condition. NEW YORK , Nov. 4. [ Special to the World-Herald.J There was a breathless Interval then a big brnsa gong clanged out the signal for the opening of hostilities. The champions looked the picture of physical condi tion , and subsequent events substan tiated It. But what Is tlic use of going over the battle * by rounds. So far as the boxing contest Is concerned , It was n burlesque on modern gladltorlal work , n rough and tumble , typical bar room Jlght , In which only biting and kicking was barred. An edifying spec tacle for modern civilization. There was no boxing from gong to end. They came together like a. couple of mad bu'ls , and thcic ivas nothing but pulling nrtl hauling and mauling until the finish. The only wonderful feature about the affair was the mar velous endurance of the two big brutes. Sharkey is a demon , and had he the bulk of the boilermaker the rowdy proceedings would have speedily ter minated. Sharkey is one of the pluckiest and most resolute and aggressive. He was after Jeffries every minute of the bloody time. There was no let up. W was rush and grunt and clash , a bruis ing of flesh and a crunching of bones , nothing elae. Sharkcy's left ear was hanging to the side of his head , while .leffrien' expansive nose was flattened llkn an Ethiopian. Both took enough punishment to kill n dozen men , and in the twenty- second and twenty-third Jeffries sim ply hammered the sailor's face into a pulp and his right uppcrcuts were somthlng terrific , and the human frame , must needs be of cast Iron to have withstood them. lie staggered about the ring like a drunken man , the gong alone saving him. The last was a repe tition. This time Sharkcy's ralvation came In the shape of a lost glove , Jeffries' left flying across the ring after a vi cious straight punch on the sailor's jaw. Sharkey staggered blindly at Jef fries , while Slier was endeavoring to adjust the mitt. Realizing what this meant Jeffries broke away from Siler and swung his right good and hard on Sharkey's blooming ear and Siler rushed between the struggling giants , separating them finally and with an emphatic gesture gave the battle to Jeffries. Thus'another great fighter , after a fashion , had tasted the bitterness of defeat , and this time it was the bull dog Sharkey , who merited all he got. He was battered to a standstill , and Jim Jeffries can rightfully claim the mastery of all fighters , big and little , great and small , scientific and rough and tumble. RATSON ROUTS THE ENEMY. ATncnlicbo Scouts Whllo Reconnoitring Strike tlio Insurgents In Ainlmsli. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. The war department has received the followinK cablegram : "MANILA , Nov. 4. On 1st inst.

He slept well from about 9:30 : lust evening until 7 o'clock this morn ing. Mis. Hobart did not remain up with her husband last night , but re tired early and nurses watched the pa tient during the night. They had no occasion to call the physician ufli-r 11 o'clock , wnen he left the Hobart home. Although Mr. Hobart is resting eas ily , it is admitted that he is gradually growing \\caker. His failure to take nourishment in sufficient quantities is responsible for this. The following bulletin was author ized by Dr. Newton : " 9:30 : a. m.

In the summer of 1S98 the Govern ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes of Indians in this country to send dele gates to an Indian Congress , and they gathered from far and near with their ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap pings in the Exposition Grounds at Omaha. Never before had there been and never again will there be such a gathering. There were about five hun dred of them , some partly civilized , but the greater portion picturesque IK original savagery. Strange as it may seem at this late day many of the In dians declared that before coming to Omaha they had no Idea what multi tudes of white men there were or how hopeless It was to try to stand against them. This was probably the last time that so complete and spectacular a view of the North American Indian will be possible and those who had the privilege of witnessing it are to bo counted fortunate. At the time of the Indian Congress a prominent pho tographer obtained permission to take the photographs of the most noted chiefs present and succeeded In obtain ing a collection which never will bo equaled. Mr. Rinehart , the photograph er , copyrighted all these pictures and placed in a few art stores some hand- colored proofs which , notwithstanding their high price , sold at once , and these Indian pictures have become the fad of the year. The Chicago Great Western Railway has succeeded at largo expense In obtaining from Mr. Rinehart the privilege of reproducing the best four of these pictures , Chiefs "Wolf Robe , " "Louison , " "Hollow Horn Bear , " and "Hattlo Tom , " and have Incorporated them In an art calendar for 1900 , which Is pronounced the most artistic produc tion yet attempted. The heads are 6x8 inches , one on sheet , wonderfully reproduced in all their original colors , and when framed make most striking and effective pictures , particularly suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the expense but a very small edition has been issued. They will be sent , how ever , while the supply lasts to any per son sending 25 cents in stamps or silver to cover the loyalty charges and the expense of packing pnd mailing to F. II.
