Chronicle's correspondent nt Matching , undci
data of November 3 , C p. in , , says :
"Early Monday morning the enemy openct
with ehell flro on the town. After a hall
hour's firing we succeeded In knocking one
of the enemy's guns out of action , where
upon the Boers retired. Shortly afterwari
they received reinforcements from Malman
nnd again attacked In force , but were again
repulsed. On Tuesday the ( cnemy opencc
with n heavy shell flro on nn elevation wo
have called Canon kopje , but the excellence
of the fortifications there prevented any
serious damage. Later In the day the enemy
Bbclled the town with a ninety-six pounder
also with small field artillery. A few buildIngs -
Ings were wrecked by n big siege gun and
two killed.
On Wednesday the ehcmy made a general
attack or. all sldco under cover ot a very
heavy shell fire. We replied vigorously from
our Hotchklss seven pounders and also
poured n raking fire from our Maxims. The
enemy was eventually driven back after.a
very hot engagement , throughout which all
our men behnved with great spirit. The
casualties on our side were slight. The
enemy's loss Is estimated at fifty killed be
sides many wounded.
Sl : = lliir IN HcNiiinciI.
On Thursday shelling was resumed at an
early hour , the nlnety-slx-pounder being
again In evidence. Later In" the day the
enemy , to the strength of i.OOO , took up a
.pcsltlon to the westward with the evident
'intention ' of making n general advance when
nhcavytthunderstorm broke out , after which
, the Boers retired , having fired a few volleys
from ride's and Maxims.
So' far the shell fire has had a remarkably
small effect , though the enemy's gunnery
practtto Is excellent. The absence of dls-
, nstrois | loesi of life on our side Is entirely
duo to the admirable fortifications -prepared
by Bflden-Powcll !

Ilrlng nt Intervals of six to eight minutes.
Another gun was observed In operation n
little distance away. Puffs of smoke were
Slsccrnlblo on the opposite side , showing
that Ladyamlth was withstanding a big
bombardment. Tlfe locality of the town was
nothing but a hugo caldron of smoke.
ESTCOUflT , Natal , Thursday , Nov. 9.--
Morning Heavy firing Is now proceeding In
the direction of Ladysmlth. It began at
Jaybreak. Some reports arc so much heavier
than any previously heard as to lead to u
Eenernl belief that the British heavy naval
nuns are again active * . >
The safe arrival at Ladysmlth of Lieuten

SIOUX CITY , Nov. 12. ( Special. ) Th <
recent election In South Dakota Is generally <
orally conceded by these Informed to havi
sounded the political deathkntll of Unltct
States Senator II. 1 < Y Pcttlgrew of that start.1
His second term of ofllcc , which he now Is
serving , will expire In 1D01 , and the genera
Impression prevails that ho will bo n can.
dldatc for re-election. Had the state goiu
democrafjcaDr populist for that matter , Pet-
tlgrbw elfll might count himself as bclnc
safe. But the way It looks now ho stands
but little show of getting n third term. Mer
who a few years ago would have done any
thing In the world for him , nnd whom he
nearly had wound around his finger , \vll \
tight him to a finish In the political arena
He has not supporters enough In his owr
party to win out , unless there Is a grca
change In the situation between now ant
next year. The- state went republican bj
a good sized majority , nnd managers fee
confident that it will bo repeated next year
The same thing also applies to Oovcrno
Andrew Lee , a populist , who won over tht
republicans , next year. The antl-expnn
blon campaign he and Pe.ttlgrow havo' beei
carrying on has not borno. the fr ult thej
anticipated , and they did not , succeed H
changing the views with reference to the
Philippines of the returned votuntcers. The
fact that they ecnt ? n man named Fox tc
the Islands to get' campaign material dli
not help thclr cause and the exposure o
Pettlgrew ln.publlshlng letters from volun
tcers w'SflUj ? were sent In confidence and
resulted irrthreatencd courts-martial all In
Jurexl him in the eyes 'of the people of the
state.

But whllo the matron of Senator Petti
grcw'H political end is under discussion
questions are at the sqmo time being askec
as to his possible" successor. Who will It to
Ono. of the men most prominently talkeJ o
In connection with the place Is A. B. Kltt
ridge of Sioux Falls , a man who has beei
prominent In the state for many years am
known to bo Just as shrewd and clever a'
Pettlgrew. Ho Is a republican at all times
stands by the administration and man )
times is called to Washington for confer
cncc about state matters. Ho Is the natlcna
commlttccman from the state and Is known
In every county and town. Butt KIKrldgc
says ho does not want the Job. Still , many
of his closest , admit ers nro In hopes he wll
changa his mind before the crucial hour ar
rives.
Then there is "Bob" Gamble of Yankton
congressman Just. , re-elected and a good
sound republican. It Is said that Gamble
hai tliu bee In his bonnet. Ho has man }
friends , Is a. loyal public , officer and fearless
In his public utterances1.He Is.against 1'ct-
tlgrowlsm from every standpoint and this
Is In his favor -and the state now.
Congressman Burke also Is talked of for
the place , and he , too , Is a strong repub
lican nnd in close touch with the adminis
tration In Washington. There Is no doubt
that ho would like the ofllce , but the ques
tion of getting It Is another matter. Ho has
a good record behind him.

BALTIMORE , Nov. 12. Captain McCarthy
of the British steamer Trunkby. wlilch ar
rived today from Santa Cruz , Tenerlfte. re
ports that a few days before his arrival at
Santa Cruz the Brazilian Bark Juliana
Schoorer , from Rio Janeiro for Genoa , Italy ,
put In for provisions. The health authorities
asked the master why there were but fifteen
persons on board when the articles named
seventeen as leaving Hlo Janeiro. The cap
tain said the others" had died from yellow
fever.
When the vessel was released from quar
antine and provisioned one of the crew stated
to ono of the customs guards that the man
In charge was not the master of the ship ,
but the mate , nnd the mate had murdered
the master and hla wife on the voyage. The
authorities sent boats' crews from a small
Spanish man-of-war In the harbor to bring
the mate and crow ashore. The mate , who
wns a Swede , had suspected something and
nrmcd himself with a revolver and defied the
whole of the five boats' crews ot the Spanish
man-ol-war's men to take him. The sailors ,
under orders of their officers , fusilladed the
vessel for five hours , during which time , it
Is said , SOO shots were fired. The mate was
killed at last , having been shot several
times. During the firing the crow Jumped
overboard and were rescued by the m.an-of-
ivnr's men.
Before the Trunkby left Santa Cruz the
bark was towed up to a berth near the
steamer and remained there wlih a crew of
man-of-war's men In charge. The bark wns
held as a pirate , but under protest from the
Brazilian consul.
The bark had previously hailed from

HAViANA , Nov. 12. The local newspapers
object to the criticisms made by some Amer
ican journals on Sunday racing In Havana ,
They point out that after mass on Sunday
all Latin countries take holiday , and nssen
that If the Americans wish the Cubans to
popularize the sport as a. substitute for bull
fighting , Sundays must bo devoted to It , be
cause saints' days arc kept strictly for ru-
llgloua observance and at no other times arc
thcro great numbers ot Cubans wealthy
enough to forsake business for the sake ol
pleasure.
The Discussion , which urges the high
American officers In Cuba to continue to
patronize a noble sport , bays :
"When 7,000 people brave the prospects ol
a rain such as was before us on last racing
day , among them the very best people ol
Havana , their course Is of sufficient prool
that the attitude of the American officers Is
heartily endorsed by our representative bo-
clcty. "

newspapers are urged to support the pro
posal , which Is "small return Indeed for the
services of the liberator of Cuba. "
'At a meeting of the Planters' association
yesterday regret was expressed that , owing
to a , depleted treasury , the association could
not maintain in Italy a bureau to promote
Italian Immigration by Issuing weekly bul
letins. It was stated that at present most
Italians go to Argentine and Brazil , where
they have proved desirable acquisitions. So
far aa the funds at Its disposal will allow ,
the Planters' association will encourage

Kxeeuted In ChlcnRO.
HAVANA , Nov. 12. A meeting of the
workmen's unions was held to commemorate
the fate of the Chicago anarchists , de
scribed as the "Chicago martyrs. " About
500 people attended the exercises at tha
headquarters. To each was handed a spe
cial memorial number of the Jornada , the
labor organ. Its leading editorial referred
to Llngg , who ' committed suicide in his
cell with a fulminate cartridge as an "im
mortal , who preferred to blow his head to
atoms and thus disappoint his murderous
would-be executioners. " It called on all
honest workers to imitate "tho martyrs. "
Many heated speeches' were made , the
speakers : abusing capital and tha . [ yrnnnyi if

CLOSE CONTEST IN KENTUCKY
Second Week of Count In Ileenn nnil
the Future Governor In Still
Subject of IIlNpiite.
LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Nov. 12. The second
week cf uncertainty regarding the result of
the balloting for governor of Kentucky be
gins with little prospect of Immediate relief.
The official count has been In progress two
days and from a majority of the 119 coun
ties has narrowed the contest down to n HOBO
finish. Both sides claim the election of Us
ticket , but the estimated plurality of either
does not exceed 3,000. While the estimates
so far received favor Taylor , the result may
hlngo on the decision given by the county
election commissioners In several places
where charges of Irregularities are mado.
One of these contests , that In Nelson county ,
lias been decided adversely to the repub
licans. It Involves 1,118 votes , nearly as
many as either side claims ns its plurality.
The democrats will contest the votes of
someof the mountain counties which return
largo republican pluralities. The most Im
portant county involved is Knox , which gave
Taylor 1.398 plurality. There are also con
tests in three precincts In Louisville which
went republican. In any event It Is difficult
to see how a bitter contest before the legls-
latura and the courts can bo avoided. All
the contests now being considered will have
to be argued before the State Board of Elec
tion Commissioners , which must meet at
Frankfort within a month. Doth sides are
preparing for this with nil the legal talent
at their command. Meanwhile , everything
hangs on the official count , which will consume -
sumo a large portion of the week In Jefferson
county ( Louisville ) . The work Is especially
alow. Only ono ward has been completed
in the two days' work.
The Commercial tomorrow will print a
statement from Chairman G-eorgo W. Lang
of the republican campaign committee ,
claiming a plurality of 3,111 votes for Taylor.
These figures are based ou the ofllcial returns
ot 110 county election boards , upon returns
signed by the precinct election ofTlcore in
eight counties , moro counties In which the
county boards have not furnished tabulation
and upon returns In ono county In which
the election officers refuse to certify to the
returns.
The 110 countlea giving official returns
show pluralities of 27,121 for Taylor and 29-
203 for Gocbel , a net plurality of 2,181 for
Rocbcl. In the eight counties not yet can
vassed pluralities are shown amounting lo
5,424 for Taylor nnd 1,833 for Gocbel , The
committee claims that these returns have
liocn certified to by the precinct election olll-
Icura and need only to bo tabulated. In the
remaining county , Lowls , there is a plural
ity of 704 for Taylor , but the election om-
corfl boldly refuse to obey the law by cer
tifying to their returns.
The Courier-Journal will print a state
ment from Mr , Goobel at Frankfort declar
ing thcro Is no doubt of hla election , but
giving no figures , the announcement being
nado that no returns have been received
dneo last night , when Goubel's plurality was
Igurcd at 155 ,

of William Uoden , n cattleman. They nc-
cuaed him of stealing horses nnd threatened
to kill him. He came to Flagstaff nnd ob
tained n warrant for their arrest , and , with
Deputy Hognu , left to make the arrests. * At
Hoden's camp they were Joined by William
Hodcn and Walter Durham , who went along
to show the deputy where the Navajocs wore
camped.
Arriving at the camp the party dis
mounted , anticipating no trouble. Hogan

tered a brush corral , where four Navajoet
were , when the Indians made resistance and
a shot was fired at Hogan , striking him In
the back , he , at the same time , being In n
tussle with one Navnjo who was trying to
shoot him. Hogan drew his pistol and killed
his antagonist. The fight became general
and ended when the ammunition of the
white men was exhausted. The result Is
that live Navnjoes are dead nnd one wounded.
Montgomery was &bot through the heart.
Hogan was wounded three times , but not
seriously.

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR OTIS

j man nnd Soldier.
SAN FRANC19CO.-Nov.-12. Colo'licl 'Chll-
dors of the Tennessee regiment , which a1-
rlvcd from the Philippines Saturday , said :
'I hiivo n very high regard for Goncrnl
Otis and his ability as a soldier nnd a states
man. Ho has held a most difficult poidtlon
and I think ho has handled it well. Of
course , ho could have slashed In and laid the
Islands waste , with flro and sword , but to do
this without nn effort first to show the nn-
tlvcs that the United States wished to give
them a fair , Just and liberal government
would have forever prevented amicable re
lations nnd It would have become a question
of extermination and rocolonlzatlon. The
Islands are too far away for such a policy ,
oven It humanity nnd self-interest did not
forbid.
"In my opinion a force of 73,000 to 100-
000 men lu needed to promptly and success
fully settle the question. This force will
have to ho retained until those who are
friendly and itake the oath of allegiance to
the United States nro strong enough to pro
tect themselves , otherwise the natives will
como down from the mountains , destroying
tin liven and property of all who are 'trait-
or. , ' as they would call them. I think local
affairs should , ns far as possible , be left in
the Innds of the natives. "
Corporal L. B. Price of the Tennessee vol
unteers was killed shortly before the regi
ment left the Islands under peculiar circum
stances , IIo was subject to fits of somnam

a red cloth around his head to protect It
from Inseats. Ono night while asleep ho
wandered by the line and as ho was return
