LONDON , Nov. 23. The news of the death
of the khalifa and the final defeat ot the
dervlshca has been received hero with grea
Joy us a clcone sot-off to the serious situ-
nllonjln South Africa.
ThQgravcst news from Capetown today
coniesfrom , the northern part of the colony
where It Js flow evldpnt .numbers of Dutch
fanners have rloen and Joined the invading
Krcq-Stato forces In the Herschell and Bark-
ley East districts.
A.'dispatch from Quecnstown , Capo Colony ,
General Gatacrc's , headquarters announces
that " 400 colonial rebel's. Including nn cx-
inaglHtrato of Hnrlsley East , have joined the-
enemy , " nt the latter place , and that the
whole force Is reported to bo marching on
Dordrecht , whence It can operate and pos
sibly intercept General Gatacro'e advance
to rcoccnpy Storcnbcrg Junction , a strategic
point from which General Gatacra'can get
In direct touch through the railroad with
General French at Naaiiwpoort and thus ,
\vitlj \ the British base nt Do Aar.
Another dispatch says that refugees ar
riving from Quccnstown assert that Lady-
grey has been occupied by the colonial
fartncrs and that It Is feared there that
thc/o.is a general movement in favor of the
Boers.
A'furthcr dispatch from Bclmcnt , confirm
ing the treacherous use ot the whlto nag
by the Boers Is' ' arousing Indignation. The
troops engaged are bitterly complaining and
It Is feared the result will be a refusal to
give the Boers quarter.
An Incident similar to the one which oc
curred at the battle of Gloncoe , when an
officer was shot by a wounded Boer , Is re
ported by the London Times' correspondent
ot Belmont , who says that Lieutenant Blun-
dcll of the Grenadier Guards was shot by a
wounded Boer , whom ho was tending.
AVnriiliiK to HOLTS.
Such statements appear Incredible , but
they are now confirmed officially by the pro
test of General..Mothuen , who has sent a
message to the Boor commander , saying :
"I must ask you to warn your wounded
not to ehoot our officers , I must warn you
not to use dumdum bullets or use the flog
of truce treacherously. Such action is cow
ardly In the extreme and I cannot counte
nance it. "
All accounts confirm the splendid charging
of the British infantry , the Scots Guards en
tering the fight with drums beating and fifes
playing.
The second ridge was the strongest posi
tion. The Boers there were sheltered bc-
hln'd' ramparts of boulders. Nevertheless ,
the'Guards advanced steadily , many of them
coolly smoking.

I E. B. Knight , a well known war corre
spondent , who went to Havana during the
1 Spanlsh Amerlcan war , was wouc.led In the
arm by a dumdum bullet. *
i The hospital train arrived at Orange river
In the nick of tlrao from Capetown and was
eent to Bolmont. The train is constructed
frotn tbo corridor system , with 'beds ' ranged
5n tiers on each , side. On Its return to
Orang'o river with the wounded it was found
that a number of them were able to walk ,
tint thcro " 'were many stretcher cases. The
troops in camp lined the route from the sta
tion' fo the hospital. The wounded were
cheerfuf and , ns they limped along , sup
ported by medical orderlies , exchanged chaff
' ( with soldiers In the crowd.
"Got any loot ? " asked a soldier.
"Yes , " wasthe , reply from the maimed
taan"inmy blooming leg. "
There 'is much discussion now as to
Whether General Methueo Intends to march
direct"to Klmberley or double around and
cut off tbo Free Staters who have Invaded
< tlio Coleaburg and Burgersdorp districts and
driving them on Generals Gatacro and
French , inflict a crushing defeat on them.
The general opinion , however , is that be
will proceed north and attack the Boers at
J&Ioddor river , thus relieving Kimberlcy.

There Is much anxiety now as to the fate
bf1 Matching , in view ot the latest and
somewhat despondent advices. It was ru
mored In- the Glasgow Stock exchange today
that Mafeklng has eurrendered. but the
War office officials declare they have nothing
confirmatory or 'otherwise.
In the meanwhile the news from Natal is
not encouraging. Estcourt and the Mool
river camp nro both hard pressed and It
eecms almost a joke to regard the garrisons
us formingpart , of the relief force for Lady-
tmltb.
A dispatch from Pretoria , dated Thurs
day , gives advices from south ot Lady-
Bmltb to the effect , tha't General Joubert the
Eaino morning shelled Estcaurt camp , but
without'response. The Inhabitants of the
town were reported to bo leaving.
The dispatch from Pretoria also indicates

LONDON , Nov. 25. Among the serious-
minded , conservative Rngllsh people there Is
a growing feeling of disgust at the spread
of the nauseating nnmbypambylsm whlcl
finds an excuse In the war. The hysterlca
outbreak which has ensued elnco "Tommy
Atkins" and his officer became a full-fledgei
society craze , has already been the subjeci
ot satirical articles In the bettor class o ;
British publications , and now nil signs point
to a reaction from that unreasoning enthusi
asm which Is responsible for so many un
dignified antics. Never were the old English
army officers so aghast as when they read
of the queen's decision to send a box ol
chocolate to each man In the field as a
Christmas present. Compared with her
simple speeches at her farewell * to the
troops , this announcement appeared as a
sudden descent from the sublime to the ri
diculous.
On top of this came the heroic accounts ol
Correspondent Churchill fighting battles and
controlling troops , and regular officers
poured In letters to the papers protesting
against this. Though not belittling
Churchill's personal bravery , an officer was
obliged to tell Churchill that his help was
not needed to command a company. Other
Instances of this young ex-officer's readiness
to Interfere have been printed slnco the
; lowlng accounts of the armored train affair.
While It ia pointed out that ho docs not de
serve good treatment from the Boers , having
violated the usages of war , the reports of
lls expected release Is contrasted with the
alleged action of the French and Germans
who , It Is claimed , during the war ot 1870
shot all noncombatante found carrying arms.
WorkinK for Xotorlety.
Whllo the big West End caterers nro busy
shipping hundreds ot cases of champagne
and pate do folo gras to the regi
mental mosses In South Africa ,
society women are working fovcr-
shly making plumpuddlngs for these
unfortunates. Many of the puddings con-
aln costly jewelry , tlo pins , rings and other
mementoes from a daring womankind. Lady
Colin Campbell has tnado no fewer than 106
plumpuddlngs for the Dublin Fuslleers , and
ecvoral puddings have been sent to Wlns-
on Churchill , addressed to Pretoria ,
[ "hough the majority of such efforts arc
doubtless prompted by genuine patriotism
and a deslro to alleviate the sufferings of
ho soldiers , the charitable movement Is
aken advantage of by notorious solf-adver-
Isers , both social and mercantile. Women
who have not been received In society , In
plte of the effort of years , have been untir-
ng in their endeavors to get publicity for
heir particular schema to raise money or
articles to send to South Africa.
Incidentally , It is announced that the duke
ot Abercorn has ordered for the field Red
Jrcss 300 dozen of Messrs. So-and-So's hand-
cerchlefs , "which are famous for their soft
ness and del lea to texture , " etc. , and every
heatrical press agent in the country is reap-
ng harvests by obtaining gratuitous adver-
isements from hitherto unheard-of actors
and actresses , who are willing to recite a
yar poem or do a turn to help the war
unds. This , of course , scarcely applies to
ho few leaders of the profession who orlg-
nated the idea of an American 'quota , of
harlty , a movement which culminated in
rlrs. Brown Potter's "Tho Chantant , " though
ho latter has not escaped criticism.
The Times set the example by giving It a
meager and uncomplimentary report In its
caws columns and since then several society
and otbora papers have referred satirically
o the excesses which marked -the tipping
and other methods applied at the entertain
ment to raise funds. The amount of adver-
Iclng some of the theatrical nonentities have
acured is not excused even by the presence
t royalties. Many prominent members of
the American colony here freely express In
rlvnto conversation thcip- disappointment
ind stronger feelings at the proceedings of
tils performance.
Choate In Awkward Position.
Mr. Joseph H. Choate , the United States
ipbassador , was placed In an awkward post-
Ion by finding upon his arrival hero that he
was apparently actively associated with
The Chautant's" management. Ono individ

YANKEES TAKE THE INITIATIVE
VlKorous Policy of Un I toil Stnten
IlrliiKliiK About Definite European
Action Ilcmirilliijff Clilnii.
LONDON , Nov. 25. As a result of the
United States' request to the powers for
assurances regarding the maintenance ) of
, ho "open door" in China , the Associated
? ress Is able to say that , negotiations have
> een entered into looking to a more per
manent and Important international agree
ment than yet mooted. Though the great
est official reticence is observed at all the
capitals regarding the secret movement ,
th.ere la good ground for believing that the
negotiations have reached a hopeful stage.
According to reports current here , In con
sequence of Russia and Franco falling to
reply satisfactorily to Washington's request ,
ho United States decided to take up the
Chinese question etlll more vigorously. The
co-operation of Great Britain to this end ,
t is asserted , was secured , andilt is said
upon ( the Initiative of the United States
efforts were set on foot to , secure not only
assurances to the United States , but a defi
nite agreement between the European powers
homsolvcs. Such an understanding to the
average European statesman has lone
seemed Utopian , yet today the Associated
Press is Informed on good authority there
are fair chances of Great Britain , Russia ,
Germany and Japan , in conjunction with the
Jnlted States , becoming signatories to n
reaty delimitating the spheres of political
nfluence in China and determining tholr
[ seal policy in that quarter , based on the
'open door" pure and simple. Such Is the
cope of the arrangement. The projected
arrangement may be retroactive as regards
errltory , In other words districts , now con-
rolled for instance , may change bands in
oturn for other privileges.
France , apparently , has exhibited the
greatest opposition 'to ' this plan so far , but
assurances have been received from Rus
sia , and its apparent willingness to enter
into an agreement with the United States , as
the leading factor , has. given rlso to tbo
belief that France is not necessarily a
stumbling block , for If Russia entered into
the agreement ; France , it Is asserted , is
almost bound to follow , or render herself
powerless , in the far east.
It Is understood that the United States ,
Great Britain and Japan have already ar
rived at a perfect understanding. Germany's
understanding was greatly influenced by tbo
emperor , who had frequent conferences on
the eastern question while In England , with
Joseph Choate , tbo United States ambas
sador. At the queen's banquet Mr. Choate
conversed at length with the emperor , and
it Is said confined himself chiefly to the
question of China. It is scarcely probable
that any official or semi-official reference
will bo made to this Important undercurrent
which progresses publicly under the guise
of merely giving assurances to the United
States , until it has assumed such shape
that no hitch Is possible , In the event of
the failure of the negotiations , through the
refusal of Russia or Germany , It Is llkoly
the world will never know how near the
great powers came to settling the greatest
problem of itho century.
KHALIFA KILLED IN BATTLE
ONIIIUII DI iin , IIlH Principal General ,

Captured.
CAIRO , Nov. 25.Lord Cromer , the
British minister here , has received the fol
lowing dispatch from General Kitchener :
"Wingate's forces caught up with the
khalifa's force seven miles southeast of
Godld and attacked It. After a sharp fight
be took bis position. The khalifa , who was
surrounded by a bodyguard of emirs , was
killed and all the principal emirs were
killed or captured , except Osraan Dlgna , who
escaped. "
The dervishes were utterly defeated , their
whole camp was ( taken and thousands sur
rendered. A largo number of women , chil
dren and cattle nleo fell Into the bands of
the Anglo-Egyptian force ,
General Kitchener also wires : "Wlngate's
Arab scouts located the khalifa's position at
Omdcbrlkas. Our force marched from Gedll
In tbo moonlight and frequently had to cut
Its way through the bush. It arrived before
dawn on rising ground overlooking the camp ,
which was hidden in tbo trees. We beard
their drums and horns before dawn and at
6:15 : the Dervishes attacked. Our guns
opened fire and soon the action became gen
eral. Half an hour later the whole line ad
vanced and swept through the dervish posi
tion for over two miles till the camp was
reached.
"Tbo mounted troops pursued and captured
most of the fugitives. The khalifa , with most
of bis men and the emlr'a bodyguard , made
a gallant eland. Among the emirs killed
wore the khalifa's two brothers and the
mahdl's ton. Osman Dlgna left immediately
after the firing began and ls probably con
cealed somewhere in the vicinity. I hope ,
eventually , to got him , Wo took the entire
Dervish camp. All the Dervishes not killed
surrendered. I cannot speak too highly of the
excellent behavior of the troops and thcl
endurance during the long , tedious marches
preceding the final action. From
o'clock In the morning of Novem
ber 21 till 5 o'clock In the morning
of November 24 they marched sixty miles
and fought two decisive actions. The Soudan
may now bo declared open. "

IXNDON , Nov. 26. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The Irish
Unity conference held yesterday In Dublin
under the presidency of Tim Healy , proved
of no account. Only nineteen members out
of a posilblo eighty attended , nil , with the
exception of three nondescripts , being Healy-
Heg. Redmond's party was absent , also
those who usually followed Dillon.
The meaning of Healy's action In now
proposing unity after obstructing all simi
lar preceding efforts Is quite patent. Out
side of Dublin and Waterford , where tbo
Parnellltes are still supreme , the only live
political organization In Ireland now Is the
William O'Brien and Davltt's United Irish
League. It Is spreading steadily and receiv
ing substantial financial support. Its policy
is to make a clean sweep ot all existing
Irish parties as such , and it Is predicted
qulto confidently that the Iloalyttcs anyway
will bo obliterated at the next general elec
tion. Hence their present anxiety for the
reunion of the present parties to check the
growth of tbo United Irish League.

LONDON , Nov. 25. ( New York 'World
Cablegram Special Telegram. The work
ing class housing difficulty Is becoming
acute In London , owing to the. extensive
street Improvements being executed by the
city council.
Working class tenants displaced by the
cutting of a now street from Holborn to
the Strand will be provided for In new flat
dwellings specially erected at a cost of
11,160,000 , , but municipal reformers recognize
the superior advantages of enabling work
men to live In tbo country close to London.
A scheme is being matured to start several
working clous village settlements con
veniently situated around the metropolis.
A great obstacle hitherto preventing work
men from living outside -was the slow , costly
and Inconvenient bus , tram and train serv
ices. The county council now controls the
tramways and Is Inviting tenders for sup
plying the whole tramway system of the
metropolis with underground electric trac
tion. The new cars will travel _ 20 per cent
faster with a 60 per cent saving In fares.

new steam turbine torpedo destroyer , the
Viper , has been having secret trials at
Tyne , At the last trial it traveled thirty-
nine knots an hour in a tea somewhat
boUteroun. The Viper burled Itself forward
In the most startling fashion , Parsons
claims to have completely solved the problem
of applying turbine engines to large steamers , -
ers , but must now Invent a boat that will
go safely through the water at forty knoU.
The Viper goes three knots faster than Its
guaranteed speed , and It Is expected Parsons
will get three or four knots more out of It.
There is the same agreeable absence ot
vibration as noticed In tbo model Turblna ,
Tbo engine space has been reduced by 30
per cent as compared with tbo ordinary
Icatroyer and the coal consumption Is less
by 10 per cent. The Viper reverses at fifteen
knots.

A HUASO1V KOH IT.
There IN Only One Pile Cure that HUH
lleuelieil u. Autlonal Popularity
mid Ileimtntioii ,
There are many popular medicines that
are known In every household In America ,
Tbero are blood purlllcrs , ncrvo tonics ,
bcadacho remedies , dyspepsia cures , and
cough cures , which are sold In every drug
store In tbo nation and beyond.
But all ot these must divide their popular
ity with many rivals , no ono remedy has
the field to Itself , with the single exception
of pile cures , for it ID a singular fact that
there Is but ono plio euro tbat can be con
sidered as having a national reputation ,
without a rival , and that referred to Jg the
Pyramid Pllo Cure , which for seven years
has steadily worked Into the public favor by
reason of Itsextraordinary , merit , until It la
known from Maine to California and from
Manitoba to the gulf.
It Is true there are many pile remedies
having a small local reputation for a year or
two , but the Pyramid Pile Cure has rapidly
supplanted them all and re-ally has the field
to Itself when anything like national popu
larity Is considered.
The explanation is simple , H Is becaueo
piles Is In no uenso on Imaginary trouble
that a bread pill or a slmplo salvo or oint T
ment will cure , but an obstinate , painful
and often dangerous trouble , and a remedy
to glvo satisfaction must possess positive
nd very apparent merit. A person suffer
ing from plica will not experiment for
months with a remedy ; It must glvo relief
and a cure In short order or It Is condemned ,
The worst cases of plica are relieved on
the first application of the Pyramid and a
euro will result In a reasonable time from
Us regular use ,
Medical men use It In preference to opera
tions because it U safer , U perfectly painless
and .tho cost to patient Is a muro trlHo , ua
all druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at
COc , and aa It la used at night , it cures
without Interfering with regular occupation.
If suffering from any form of piles , bleed
ing , Itching or protruding , a trial of the
Pyramid will cure you and add another to
Its thousands of friends.
