bombardment November 3 :
' The arrival of the naval brigade on Monday
\vi\s most opportune. H would do you good
to co the great-chested , bearded , steadfast
men nmld our urmy of boys. They did line
service yesterday , when they mounted their
guns In record lime , and silenced a "Long
Tom" at G o'clock. "Long Tom" was tried
again , but the blucjackctn again silenced him
In the second round. AVe lost three wounded ,
Including , unfortunately , an officer.
"Tho feature of yesterday's fighting was the
great variety of Boer guns disclosed. The
effect of the eight hours artillery fight was
terrible , though leas deadly than the In
fantry combat. An Incessant boom of guns
and hiss and rattle of uliclls gave a partic
ularly remorseless Impression and empha
sized the helplessness of man before the
deadly machines which ho creates. This was
heightened by the cloudless eunshlno.
"The escape of ono man from destruction
by a bursting shell was very singular. The
Ehelt burst near him , turning one side of
i his bayonet Into a complete corkscrew , a
5 fragment ot tbo shell piercing hlo water
bottle on the other side , the man escaping
unhurt. Some are dtepoced to criticise our
artlll'ery practice , but It must be remcm-
borcd that the Boers' guns outrange ours. "

The situation Is still unchanged along tha
southern frontier of the Orange Free State ,
but the Indentions nre that the Boera' ad
vance U Increasing and the news of the
action of October 20 nt Ladysmlth , the Brit

Railway communication between the
Orange river and De Aar was Interrupted

The Boers have seized the bridge at Coles-

It Is reported they are deslioylng the rail

BOERS WAITING FOR GUNS

port unity.
LONDON , Nov. C. The general belief In
London la that the Boers arc now watting
for more guns from Pretoria before attack
ing Ladysmlth. The fact that Sir Redvcrs
Duller appears to have ordered a retirement
from Slormberg and perhaps from other
places , relieves to ome extent the public
mind , which otherwise would have been fur
ther alarmed. Confidence Is felt In any
measures that General Bullcr may deem de
sirable. The knowledge that the pigeon-post
is working bos also come ns a relief to tbo
great anxiety previously felt.
The third-class cruiser Pclorus has been
ordered from Gibraltar to Durban nnd the
third-class cruiser Fearless from Port Said
to the same point. '
Dispatches from Capetown and other cen
ters In Capo Colony Indicate that the Capo
Dutch are becoming very restless In con-
scquonco of the Boer successes.
The Morning Past's I adysmlth correspondent
pendent , telegraphing November 1 , says :
"We cannot undcmlnnd the Boer tactics. It
Is Incomprehensible that they should have
retrained from using their big guns this
morning. '
Commenting upon this dispatch , the Morn
ing Past observes :
"It IH easy to guces the reason why the
Boers bnvo been nonplussed by the arrival
of the naval guns nt Ladysmlth. They are
now regretting n lost opportunity , as they
might have cut the railway and thus pre
vented the appearance of those guns on the
scene. "
The Times , In a careful editorial on the
relations of the United States to the war In
South Africa , sayo :
"When the continent rings with denuncia
tions of England It Is very cheering and re
freshing for the English people to note the
sympathy nnd Intelligent comprehension
manifested In the United States. We should
prize American sympathy In any case , but
It becomes doubly grateful when manifestly
based upon n deliberate and well-informed
Judgment of the essential merits of the quar
rel as well as upon a reciprocation of tha
kindly feelings with which Englishmen re
gard American alms and enteiprises.
"The American people nre not blinded by
the accident that the Transvaal calls Itself
n republic. They know that every essential
attribute of a republic Is wanting , and they
know also that England stands for equal
laws , Individual freedom and the energetic
progress which together make up the repub
lican Ideal of the Americans. As England
plumped for the United States , so the
United States now plump for England with
out regard to the flno-drawn technicalities
of the attorney. "

( Copyright , 1899 , toy Associated Press. )
BERLIN , Nov. 5. Opinion hero Inclines
moro and unore In favor of a commercial
treaty with the United Stateo which will
bo fair for both sides and enable the mer
chants of both nations to make calculations
regarding trade between the two countries
for a number of years ahead. The grow
ing Importance of the United States as a
market lor German goods Is generally rec
ognized by everybody , except the agrarian. * ,
and loads to the hope that the long-pend
ingnegotiations will bo brought to a successful
'
cessful Issue.
The reception of the German delegates
at the Philadelphia commercial congress Is
greatly appreciated by the prcea here. The
newspapers express the hope that the gath
ering will remove many mutual errors.
Andrew D. White , the United States am
bassador , nnd Consul General Maso-a as-
eure the correspondent ot the Associated
Press that they constantly In their reports
point out the necessity of coming to bet
ter tertiu commercially with Germany.
Dr. Von Hollebcn , German ambassador
to the Uulted States , who recently dined
several tlmea with the emperor , Prince Ho-
honloht ! , Imperial chancellor ; Count Von
Buelow , minister of foreign affairs ; Baron
Von Thlelmann , the secretary of the Im
perial treasury , and Count Von Posadowsky-
Wchuer , minister of the Interior , on these
occasions Inflated on the urgency of Im
proved .relations with the United States. '
Dl. Von Hollcben will soon return to' the
United States to resume his dutlcj at Wash
ington.
The recent reciprocity treaty between the
United States and Franco has startled Ger
man merchants. The National Zeltung devotes -
votes a long editorial to the subject , hlch
concludes ;
"The quarrel between Germany and the
United States about the correct - Interpretation
tion of the favored nation clause must become -
como moro acute unless Germany gets the
eama tariff reductions as France. "
A number of other papers and pamphlets
point out that the treaty affects many ar
ticles of German export to the United
States and that therefore It Is of great Im
portance.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
learns from official sources that cofllldentlnl
advices have been received from Wash
ington to the effect that negotiations be
tween the embassy nnd the United States
will not be seriously resumed until meas
ures touching American Interests pending In

CHICAGO , Nov , C. More than 300 former
members of the Second and Third Mississippi
volunteers , who collated from Chicago , held
a meeting today In the Unity bulldlns. A
law firm of this city claims lo have dlscov-
01 ed an old statute of Mlstlcslppl which

duo them. It Is eatd that 700 Cblcagoana
volunteered to till up Mississippi' * * quota ,

uf MiicArllnir'M Men Wounded
In the
MANILA , Nov. 5. 9 p. m. This evening
a fleet of transports and gunboats left Ma
nila for the most Important expedition of
the autumn campaign. Ita destination is sup
posed to bo Dagupan or sonic other northern
port.
General Whcaton commands with n brigade
consisting of the Thirteenth Infantry , the
Thirty-first Infantry , two guns of the Sixth
artillery and two Callings. The transports
Sheridan , Francisco do Reyes and Aztec
carry the troops , with the gunboat Helena
as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to ar
range n rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the other warships
that are patrolling the north coast of Lu
zon.
zon.Tho landing will bo made under cover of
the guns of the fleet. It la assumed hero
that the purpose of the expedition Is to
move down the Dagupan-Mnnlla railroad
toward Tarlac or to prevent Agulnaldo's
forces making another base farther north.
Dagupan and Apparrl are the strongholds
of the Insurgents In the north and It 5s sup
posed nro the points where most of the fili
bustering parties land.
Slnco 'tho beginning of hostilities It
has been the unanimous opinion of military
experts here that Dagupan Bhould bo made a
base of operations , but sufficient troops have
heretofore been lacking. With Generals
Whcaton , MacArthur and Lawton moving
upon Tarlac from three directions and the
mountains hemming In the other side the
Insurgent capital will soon become unten
able.
Agulnaldo may attempt to shift his head
quarters to the rich tobacco country nt
the eastern end ot the country. Possibly
he may slldo around General Lawton's front
to the southern provinces ; but as Mao-
Arthur's and Lawton's troops nro spread
ncioss the country from Angeles to Caban-
atuan , It will bo difficult for the Insurgents
to escape.
Should the concerted operations succeed ,
organized Insurrection , on a largo scale ,
should bo at nn end early next spring , al
though guerrilla warfare Is likely to con
tinue for a long time. No one anticipates
that the Insurgents will make many hard
battles. The program Is to move the troops
about the country , to maintain transporta
tion and hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of a largo
American army Is calculated to sap
Agulnaldo's strength by desertions and
through loss of hope among the sup
porters of the revolutionary movement.
MneArthur TakcH
10:15 : a. m. Two columns of General Mac-
Arthur's division yesterday took Magalang ,
about six miles northeast of Angeles. Colonel
Smith , with two battalions of the. Seven

tillery and a body of engineers'advanced
from Angeles.
Major O'Brien , with n battalion of the
Seventeenth Infantry and two troops of the

taking a lot of Insurgent transportation.
( Major O'Brien killed forty-nlno Insurgents ,
wounded many and took twenty-eight pris

Mrs. Harrison and the 'baby , 'L The passage
across the Atlantic was a 'rather stormy
ono and Mrs. Harrison was ssick. much of
the time.
Mr. Harrison , who says ho1 Is' not In the
best of health , declared , however , that he
had not missed a meal through sickness.
"I have enjoyed the trip , " .he ald. "After
leaving Paris I spent somo. little time In
Germany and while there I saw the kaiser.
I talked with him lor a > short time and
found him n very agreeable man. When
you ask me what he said , I shall have to
answer as I did In Germany ; when ono of
the reporters there asked jue" that question ;
You will have to ask the 2 lrl- ; ' I slopped
for a short time In London VBcfore sailing

Mr. Harrison's attention was called to the
fact that It had "been " repcrted hero that

are as friendly as ever. I 'think he Is a
good man for the place a'nrt he Is doing
good work there for the government. "
When asked about the Venezuelan arbi
tration question ho said : "I do not call
the decision ot the commission n victory. It
was a compromise. I cannot say anything
on that subject without deliberation and
for that reason I will not ht thls time dis
cuss the affair. J
"As to the war In the Transvaal , I do
not care to have anything to say on the

subject. I was In England only a short
tlmo and was not In a position to study the

In referring the matter back to the Ha
waiian government the loiter states that
they nro resubmltted for "consideration nnd
settlement. "
President Dole thinks UiU places the mat
ter entirely In the hands uf the local gov
ernment to do as It pleahea about It , the
United States holding to ltd former policy of
having absolutely nothing to do with the
questions. There are others , however , who
think that following annexation they become
matters between Washington and London.

The final footings of the registration show
ing the overwhelming preponderance of re-
publlcaim in Omaha and South Omaha has
completely demoralized the fusion leaders
who havu been managing the campaign In
this county. From the first day of registra
tion they have recognized the fact that their
fight was "hopclcpg. Instead of making n
campaign for the ticket nominated by their
conventions the fuslonlsts have given up all
hopes of helping moro than n few favorlto
candidates , for whom they have been con
centrating their work.
H has become simply a scramble , each
for himself , with desperate efforts to push
Broadwoll and Power ahead and to save
the county board by rc-electlnt' Hofcldt.
To this cud all the mud-slinging h.us been
directed against the republican candidates
for the office of the clerk of the court and
sheriff , but so far without effect.
Atilnitin of Attack oil Unrlnlil.
The animus of the vicious attacks on
Barlght In the World-Herald Is explained
by an Incident that happened shortly after
his nomination , but which has not yet been
made public. The World-Herald , It will bo
remembered , was very ardent In Its exer
tions In behalf of Albyn Frank In the re
publican primaries and took his defeat
greatly to heart. Ono of the members of
the World-Herald staff , who Is a bosom
friend of Frank's , sent a parly to Mr.
Barlght with a proposition to keep the
World-Herald silent on certain conditions.
He explained that a young woman friend
of his was being maintained on Albyn
Frank's pay roll , and Hint he was quite
anxious to have her provided for after
Frank's exit from office. He , being a mar
ried man , could not take care of her himself ,
but If Mr. Barlght would ngrco to maintain
the young woman In her position ho would
see to It that nothing appeared In the World-
Herald detrimental to hU candidacy. Mr.
Barlght Indignantly spurned the offer and
the World-Herald Immediately began to
work up Its fakes , which were later sprung
upon the public.
Albyn Frank to lie llrouitnell'N Deputy
It Is noteworthy In this connection that
Albyn Frank himself la one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Broadwell , the
democratic candidate , In splto of the fact
that he has been enjoying the emoluments
of the best office In the state for three years
at the hands of the republican party. Frank
openly boasts that If Broadwell Is elected
clerk of the court the name of his chief
deputy will bo Albyn Frank and that ho
will have no trouble In settling with his
successor In office. On this ground Albyn
Frank Is asking his friends to vote for the
democratlcTcancililute.

part of th'ese tactics , Is in the shape of

tended to mnko Swedish voters bellcve that
Mr. Baright Is prejudiced against people of
their nationality. The circular was orlg-
Inally gotten out eoveral years ago when
Barlght was before the republican primaries
as a candidate for councilman , when at that
very tlmo the stenography ho was employ
ing In his onice was a Swede and Barlght's
friendship for ( ho Swedes has been man
ifested tlmo and again by his active efforts
In behalf of Swedish candidates for office
on the republican ticket. Other fakes of
the Eamo nature may be expected at the last
hours.
KIllICIllOIIN ClllllllN Of FlIMllllllHtM.
The labored attempt of the popocrats ,
through their organ , to make out that the reg
istration returns are not so badly set against
them amuses every one. Including those In
their own organization. To keep the fuslon
lsts on the political map they seek to create
the Impression that every registered voter
who has not expressed himself as a re
publican Is against the republican ticket ,
oven though he has expressed no preference
for any other ticket. To make a showing
they have laid claims to all the -1,500 voters
who have not cared to respond to the ques
tion na to party affiliation and yet by add
ing these In with all the democrats , pupu-
llsts and silver republicans , they still fall
over 1,000' short.
An examination of the registration hooka
discloses the fact that the majority of the
men who have not recorded themselves with
any party will vote the republican ticket
this year. Nearly all the gold democrats ,
for example , have refused to eay that they
are democrats of the fusion stripe and bavo
gone Into the no answer column. The gold
democrats unquestionably number 400 or 500
In Omaha , who are for Reese , the repub
lican candidate , almost to a man. Yet the
fuslonlsts bavo the audacity to claim their
votes. The same Is true of n great many
business and working men , who , while
voting the republican ticket right along , for
business or other reasons do not care to
tell the registrars to write them down as
republicans.
AllfKCcl Defect IOIIH Full lii MiUerlnli/e
Still another Interesting disclosure of the
registration boohs Is that thoalleged de
fections from the republican party , conjured
up In the fervid Imagination of the World-
Herald fakirs , have failed lamentably to ma
terialize. The Germans , for example , have
not hesitated to register as republicans In
larger numbers than usual and the books
In the precincts where Germans largely ic-
sldo show hundreds of German names with
avowed republican affiliations.
The eamo Is true with reference to Bohe
mians , about whom so much nolso has been
made. More Bohemians are registered as
republicans In the First and Second wards
than ever cast lotes for republican candi
dates In previous elections. John Hoalcky
himself , who has been hcraldod far and wldo
by the World-Herald and other popocratlo
organs as the great Bohemian leader who
has left the republican party In disgust ,
hits registered as , a republican and so ap
pears on the registration books ,
The failure of certain popocrallc lights
to show their colors Is oleo Interesting.
The great jurist who Is running on the
silver republican ticket q-oms to have been
ashamed to own up to his parly Identity and
has burled himself In the no-party column ,
Try to Pack Klcctlon Hun nix ,
As usual the democrats have pursued their
customary tactics of placing men on the
election boards under false colors , and In
some way have prevailed upon County Judge
Baxter to co-operate with them In their
scheme to control the election booths. All
through the precincts they Imvo had men
put on the election boards masquerading as
populists , and even an republicans , who are
hand-.ln-glovo with tbo democratic machine.
Up In tjio Sixth ward , for example , Pat
Mcstyn , who was before tliu democratic con
vention as a candidate for sheriff , has smug
gled himself onto the election board as a
populist , although no'forgot he had changed

registrars that ho was a democrat.
In ft Seventh ward precinct one ot the
ofncerR of the county democracy la on the
election board as a populist , nnd In a. Third
ward precinct one or two men on the elec
tion board ns republicans nre out of Pat
Ford's household. In the First and Second
wards the party atnilatlous of the election
officers seem to have been hopelessly mixed
to as to let the democrats got the beflt of It
In each case.
The republicans have been warned of thcso
manipulations , made for the evident pur
pose of covering up frauds In the count , and
propose to take all precautions to prevent
such fraudulent work.

LOUISVILLR , Ky. , Nov. 5. Ante-election
Interest was heightened tonight by a report
from Frankfort containing n hint of some
action on the part of United States Marshal
A. D. James In connection with the state
election. In view of widely circulated re
ports as to the possibility of trouble and
even bloodwhcd next Tuesday this report
caused much speculation. It told of n letter
said to have been received by Deputy Mar-
ehal McCarthy at Frankfort from Mr. James ,
notifying liiui not to leave his pret of duly
Tuesday and to be In readiness to respond
to orders by telegraph or telephone from
federal headquarters at Louisville. This , It
IB said , was a copy of a circular eent to nil
deputy marshals In the state.
Marshal Jainca was not In the city to
night and If ho contemplates any action Its
nature can only bo eurmlscd. Nor Is It
clear upon what ground the marshal could
base any action In connection with the elec
tion.

FRANKFORT , Ky. , 'Nov. 5. It become

PATEHSON , N. J. , Nov. 5. There was no
Improvement In the condition of VIce Pres

were received from President McKlnloy , Sec
retary of State Hay and Mrs. Hny and Gen
eral Wesley Merrltt. Among the callers at
the Hobart residence was Attorney General

Dr. Newton , who has been rather silent
about the condition of his patient , consented
to talk yesterday.
"Ho Is resting comfortably , " said Dr.
Newton.
"Do you think Mr. Hobart has a chance to
recover ? " ho 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.
Dr. Newton said he would not give an
opinion as to how long the patient might
live. Ho might drop off at any moment
and ho might so for throe or four days , so
remarkable has been his vitality all through
his scilous Dinette.

DENVKK , Nov. C. ( Spccnal Telegram. )
The return of the First Colorado from the
Philippines was not so long ugo that the
people of Denver have forgotten all tholr
patriotism. The depot was crowded tula
morning and tonight when the varlouu sec
tions of the train that Is bearing homo the
Fifty-first Iowa volunteers arrived In the
city , and It waa a warm greeting that was
extended to the boys In blue. Many Iowa
people living In Denver \\ero nt the train
nnd some of the scenes that made the re
turn of the Colorado boys famous wore reenacted -
enacted even so far as Colorado Is In the
home of these campaigners.
The first section of the train , In charge
of Adjutant General M. H. Dyers , nnd con
taining Companies A , D , H and F , arrived
at S:30 : o'clock and the second section ar
rived nn hour later. This body of coaches
was In charge of .Major S. P. .Moore , and It
Included Companies B , Q , I and 1C , consti
tuting the Thlid 'battalion.
The third pectlon was delayed until to
night at 10 o'clock by two slight \\ro3ks that
occurred on the border of California and
Nevada. Tbo first two sections did ot wait
for the last to overtake them , for a telegram
was received In Denver by the adjutant gen
eral telling him that the people of Council
Bluffs had prepared n great demonstration
for tomorrow and they wanted the boys to
coma on as rapidly nj possible.
The last section Is In charge of Major
Hume , Companies E , C , L and M , constitut
ing the Second battalion. John C. Lopcr , the
colonel of the regiment , was on the flrst
section.-
flojjorai irvhiR Halo was among th'oso who
greeted the Iowa troops nt the depot. The
greeting ho received from the boyo was
i-ACcr ! onull > vur- T - ( cji v l n-
teera satbered In a circle about him and-
gave repeated volleys of cheers In-his honor.
Kvory man In the regiment declared Gen
eral Halo to be the best general In the Eighth
army corps , nnd ho Bald It warmly , too. It
-was a touching scene when the general met
wlth Bob Dalley , his orderly , who was shot
In one of the engagements. Dalley was on
the third section and ho was soon at the
side of the Denver military ofllrur when ho
heard the latter was at the depot.
Ono or two volunteers mUeed their sec-
lions and they remained lu Denver during
the day , leaving on the last section tonight.
One of these was Lieutenant J. Frank
Frounds of Company G. Ho explained la
the waiting room of the depot that his being
left was half Intentional , and n dozsn women
gathered about him to hear the rest of the
elory. Ono of them was handsome and she
occupied the seat to the right. Gus Lawson
of Company H was anotCor to miss his sec
tion.

-disappointment was felt In Council

terfere with today's program , and the recep

The plan at present la to servo a banquette
to the cornpanloa on the third section as
soon as It reaches hero.

that are expected here today kept arrlvlnu
all day yesterday nnd by'nlcht It becannj
a serious question where the vlsltora coUld
