REPORT RECEIVED fROM DULLER. Bombardment From Lady-smith Con- tlnuoH With Shelly Tallin ? In Town Wounded nt Klmhcrly Doing ; Well Over Klght Hundred Aliasing In Glou cestershire und I'uNllecr Regiments. LONDON , Nov. G. ( New York World Cablegram. ) Stevens cables the Daily Mail of the Ladysmith bom bardment November 3 : "The arrival of the naval brigade on Monday was most opportune. It would do you good to see the great-chested , bearded , steadfast men amid our army of boys. They did fine service yeser- day , when they mounted their guns in record time and silenced a "Long Tom" at G o'clock. "Long Tom" was tried again , but the bluejackets again silenced him in the second round. We lost three wounded , including , un fortunately , an officer. "The feature of yesterday's fighting was the great variety of Boer 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. "The escape of one man from de struction by a bursting shell was very singular. The shell burst near him , turning one side of his bayonet into a complete corkscrew , a fragment of the shell piercing his water bottle on the other side , the man escaping unhurt. Some are disposed to criticise our ar tillery practice , but it must be remem bered that the Boers' guns outrange ours. " LONDON , Nov. 7. The war office is sued the following at 11:40 p. m. yes terday : Buller to the secretary of state for war : CAPETOWN , Nov. 5. The com mandant at Durban sends the follow ing received from Ladysmith by pigeon post , dated November 3 : "Yesterday General French went out with cavalry and field artillery and effectively shell ed the Boer laager , without loss on our side. "Lieutenant Edgerton of the Power ful is dead. General Joubert sent in Major C. S. Kincaid of he Royal Irish Fusileers and nine wounded prisoners. Eight Boers were sent out in ex change ; no others being fit to travel. "Colonel Brecklehurst , with cavalry field artillery , the Imperial Light Horse and the Natal mounted volun teers , was engaged today with the ene my to the southwest of Ladysmith. The fighting lasted several hours. Our loss was very small. "The bombardment of Ladysmith continued yesterday and today , many Boer shells being pitched into the town. "Our troops are in good health and spirits and the wounded are doing well. " "I think that General French's name is given by mistake for Breckle hurst's. " Sir Redvers Buller has wired the war office from Capetown , under date of Sunday , that Colonel Kekewich , in command at Kimberley , reports under date of October 31 that all the wound ed were doing well. LISBON , Nov. 6. Persistent reports are in circulation here that General Sir George Stewart White , British commander in Natal , has capitulated. WILLIAM AND NICHOLAS.

Ex-President Harrison , who went to Paris in May as counsel for Venezuela before th Anglo-Venezuelan arbitration commis sion , was a passenger on the American line steamship St. Paul , which arrived here today.

Mr. Harrison , who says he is not in the best of health , declared , however , that he had not missed a meal through sickness. "I have enjoyed the trip , " he de clared. "After leaving Paris I soent some little time in Germany and while there I saw the kaiser. I talked wlt : him for a short time and found him a very aureeable man. When you ask me what he said , I shall have to answer as I did in Germany when one of the reporters there asked me that question- 'You will have to ask the kaiser. ' I stopped for a short time in London be fore sailing to this country. The weath er WPS thick when I was there and I j caught a bad cold in the fog. I at tended a dinner at the London Cham ber of Commerce just before sailing. It was private. No reporters were pres ent and I made a little sneech. " Mr. Harrison's atention was called to the fact that it had been reported here that he had a falling out with Mr. Cho.ite. "We are as friendly as ever. I think he is a good man for the place and he is doing good work there for the government. " BfG FLEET LEAVES MANILA. Hlost Important Military Expedition of the Autumn Campaign. MANILA , Nov. G.

"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 ? " "I am sorry to say they did not , " said the physician. DL. Newton said he would not give an opinion as to how long the patient might ] live.Ke . might drop off at any moment i and he might go for three or four } days , so remarkable has been his vitality all through his serious illness.

Simpson , chief of the mili tary information bureau of the Avar de partment , has compilled a large map , showing the theater of military opera tions between the British and Boers in South Africa.

J Conditions in South Africa Cause Deepest Alarm in England. THE CAPE COLONY DUTCH RISING They Itlnke Common Can HO With Tliolr Hnrdy Brethren in the Transvaal Con. 'Whlte'H Force In Still Shut Up Tightly ttt I.iiclysmlth Town Is Com pletely Invested. LONDON , Nov. G. ( New York World Cablegram. ' The South African situation is again causing the deepest alarm. The silence of the war office , which received today several dis patches from Capetown and Durban the holding back of the list of casual ties at Ladysmith and finally the an nouncement of the mobilization of the second army corps , the tenth of this month , all combine to show that the position of British power in Soutl Africa is one of the greatest peril. The reported mobilization of the army corps is not officially confirmed , but is corroborated from Aldershot , where arrangements are actually in progress for the operation. Your correspondent learns that the Dutch are 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 relied on by either side , but will probably fight for their own hand with sedition spread ing among the Cape and Natal Dutch. The natives are only waiting to jump in on their own account. White's force is still beleagured at Ladysmith. This war has suddenly become the most mo mentous in which England has en gaged in since the American revolu tion. tion.General General Joubert's movement to cut off White from Colenso is being carried out and it is regarded as quite probable that Maritzburg , the capital of Natal , will fall into his hands before Buller and his reinforcements arrive. Mr. Chamberlain , who had proposed to take his ease at his country sent near Birmingham while the Transvarl was being conquered , has found it necessary to come to town and is in constant communication with Milner. Lord Lonsdale proposes to take out to South Africa 208 men of the West moreland and Cumberland yeomanry , of which he is colonel , also three Max ims and two fully equippeu ambulance corps. He will place himself in the hands of the war office authorities , to whom he will make his offer almost immediately. The Daily Mail correspondent at Pietermaritzburg , 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 flag in it. The force is expected to reach Mavuna on Saturday. The authorities are entirely on the alert. " EIETEEN HUNDRED DEWEYS. All Members of Dewey Family Will Hold Reunion. TACOMA , Wash. , Nov. 3. A. M. Dewey , special agent of the govern ment department of labor , announced here today that all members of the Dewey family related to Admiral Dewey would hold a reunion at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York in January or February.

Galloway , a well known color ed educationalist , to have direction of it. The Hampton and Tuskegee insti tutes and the Fisk and Vanderbilt uni versities will be represented in the ex hibit , as well as prominent colore.1 schools generally. IJIg Corner in Broom Corn. CHICAGO , Nov. 3. The corner in broom corn , which has recently more than doubled the price of that com modity , was , it was learned today , engineered by W. L. Rosenboom and A. J. Klein , dealers in this city. They control 2,000 out of a possible 2,400 tons , worth about § 1,200,000 and ex pect to realize § 1,000,000 profit on the coup.

He was hauling provisions with a team to ranch when overtaken by the storm. He was G3 years old and Dromineut in Grand Army of the Republic circles. Mexico-China Treaty. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 3. For some time negotiations hav ? been in , progress in Washington toward PS- V1 tablishing treaty relations between China and Mexico. The negotiations have been carried on by Ambassador Aspirox of Mexico and Minister Wit ? Ting Fang of China and are now so far along that the signing of the in strument is expected to occur p-rly , next week. Aside from its imnortancs in being the first treaty ever ne oti- " oted between the two countries. its terms are such as to yield large boao- of fits to each or the contracting D-rties. JEEERIES WINS THE FIGHT. Cliuniplon JcfTrlcH and Sailor Mmrkcy Meet In King in Pink of Condition. NEW YORK , Nov. 4. [ Special to the World-Herald. ] There was a breathless interval then a big brass gong clanged out the signal for the opening of hostilities. The champions looked the picture of pnysical condi tion , and subsequent events substan tiated it. But what is tlie use of goin over the battle by rounds. So far as the boxing contest is concerned , it was a burlesque on modern gladitorial work , a rough and tumble , typical bar room fight , 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 bulls , and there was nothing but pulling and 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 bloouy time. There was no let up. It was rush and grunt and clash , a bruis ing ot flesh and a crunching of bones , nothing else. Sharkey's left ear was hanging to the side of his head , while Jeftries' expansive nose was flattened like an Ethiopian. Both took enough punishment to kill a dozen men , and in the twenty- second and twenty-third Jeffries sim ply hammered the sailor's face into a pulp and his right uppercuts were somthing 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 Sharkey's salvation came in the shape of a lost gloye , Jeffries' left flying across the ring after a vi cious straight punch on the sailor's jaw. Sharkey staggered blindly at Jef fries , while Siler 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 car 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. ESTIMATE OF BOER LOSSES. 3Iost of Them Said to Bo Duo to Artil lery Fire. 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 Boer losses which are now said to be ninety-five killed and 200 wounded , mostly victims of artillery shells , which have done such great havoc that it is said General Joubert , the Rnpr 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 Ions range naval guns and the splendid 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 Kimberley. 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 Mafelung , for the purpose either of as sisting in the attack of Kimberl < xor to lesist the advance of reinforcements. The absence of water outside the place causes the Boers to continually move their ca Xe\r Kailroad for loira. 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. Gifi'ord , 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 renresentative be sent to close up the deal.

The residents of the house have been ar rested and will be tried at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. 31-irsical Returns. NEW YORK , Nov. 4. Senor Ignacio M. Mariscal secretary of foreign af fairs of Mexico , together with the sec- retar of finance and a party of oromi- nent citizens of the Merican reoublic. who have been spending some days in the city , after having been ntertain- ed by the federal committee at Chicago during the presidential festivities , will leave New York on the Ponnsylvonii railroad at 1 o'clock.

In a report to the state department Consul Mc- Cook at Dawson. under date of Sep tember 14 last , says that the gold ship ments for the season aggregated $9.- 247,745. Prices of living have been slowly declining. Typhoid was decreas ing and the death rate had also de creased. The rush to Cape Nome con tinues from mining camps all along the Yukon. At Circle City only sevpnty- five people remain out of 300 ; Eagle City has lost 500 of its population of 1,500 , and Rampart City has only 200 its former population of 1,000 re maining. { I The Atlantic Monthly.

In the summer of 1S9S 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 ha < l there been and never again will theie be such a gathering. There were about five hun dred of them , some partly civilized , but the greater portion picturesque in 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 j.tand against them. This was probably die last time that so complete and spectacular a view of the North American Indian will be possible and thcseiwho had the privilege of witnessing it are to be 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 , thr ; . photograph T er , copyrighted all thesejpictures and placed in a few art stor some hand- colored proofs which , notwithstanding their high price , sold at on : e , and these Indian pictures have becoiae the fad of the year. The Chicago Great Western Railway has succeeded at large expense in obtaining from Mr. Klnehart the privilege of reproducing/The / best four of these pictures , Chiefs ( "Wolf Robe , " "Louison , " "Hollow Horn Bear , " and "Hattie Tom , " and havj incorporated them in an art calendar , r 1900 , which is pronounced the most apistic produc tion yet attempted.
