ATTACK LADYSMITH. Moat Important Knssmnt of the Bor-Britlth Bor-Britlth Forces Yet Fought. London, Nov. 1. The war office has received a dispatch which says General White has fought an engagement with General Joubert's forces, which was pushed back after several hours' fighting. fight-ing. The British lost about 100 men, and the Boer losses were much greater. The Boers were in greater number and had better artillery.

The ease with which they reorganized the German corps, which was almost annihilated at Elands-laagte, Elands-laagte, and General Lucas Walter's column, shattered at Talanahill, shows how great are their recuperative powers, pow-ers, and their fertility of resources. The perseverance the Boers have shown in transporting heavy ordnance and posting it in commanding positions has forced admiration even from their enemies.

VICE-PRfcST. HOBART DYING. Little Hope Fntertalned for His Recovery Suffered Relapse Yesterday. New York, Nov. 1. Vice-President Hobart, who has been ill for weeks at his home in Patterson, N. J., has suffered suf-fered a relapse. He had a succession of choking spelis resulting from an imperfect action of the heart, an old affliction, complicated with inflammation inflamma-tion of the stomach. Mr. Hobart has not been able to attend at-tend to his private affairs for the past two or three days, and an intimate friend has been given power of attorney attor-ney to sign checks and to attend to other matters of that character. One of the physicians in attendance at G o'clock tonight said that while the condition of Mr. Hobart was serious, he was better than at any time within the last twenty-four hours. A. A. Wilson, Mr. Hobart's lifelong friend and law partner, said that he did not think Mr. Hobart would die tonight, but that he feared the vice-president vice-president had not. long to live. He refused to enter into details relative to the malady from which the patient suffered, but his idea was that it was necessarilj- fatal, although not immediately. imme-diately. Admiral Dewey to Wed.

ROYAL CANADIAN SOLDIERS. Thoasands of People Say Oood-By to Men at Quebec. Quebec, Nov. 1. Thousands of people peo-ple from all over Canada attended the inspection of the Royal Canadian regiment regi-ment of infantry for the Transvaal or the Esplanade today. Premier Laurier and all the Dominion ministers were present, and officers from nearly all the corps in the Dominion. The Transvaal Trans-vaal troops appeared in heavy marching march-ing order and the scene was one of the wildest enthusiasm. Lynching: In Missouri. Fayette, Mo.. Nov. l. Tom Hayden, a negro, aged 24, was taken from the officers who had bina under arrest for the murder of Andrew Woods, a young white man, and hanged to a tree eight miles west of here. The killing took place just previous to the lynching and was the result of a fight over a game of craps in progress at a negro festival. Woods slapped Ben Hayden in the face. Ben did not retaliate, but his brother Tom took up the quarrel and shot Woods to death. KRUGER AT FRONT. TRANSVAAL'S PRESIDENT ENCOURAGING EN-COURAGING HIS TROOPS. Big Battle Imminent at Ladysmith, where 17,000 Boers Are Oppoilnf 1 3,000 British Soldier. London. Oct. 31. The position at Ladysmith, without being alarming, is sufficiently dangerous to excite anxiety. anxi-ety. Evidently the Boers are trying to repeat their Dundee tactics. Roughly Rough-ly estimated, they have lT.ooo men as against 12.000 British. General Sir George Stewart White has the better artillery, but his is ol lesser range. The delay in the Boei attack is reported to be due to the non-arrival non-arrival of Commandant-General Joubert's Joub-ert's column. This has given the British a much needed respite aftei their recent exertions. Everything, it is now considered, hinges on General Whites resources and judgment. Nothing is known regarding the progress of defeusive works for the protection of Ladysmith. Lady-smith. Farmers in the neighborhood of Ladysmith have left their farms and stock at the mercy of the Boers and are congregated in the town. Two guns the Boer-' have mounted are powerful pow-erful weapons. They are the ones used in shelling Dundee, and it is a matter of considerable surprise how PRESIDENT KRUGER. they managed to transport such heavy pieces. It is reported that President Kruger accompanied General Joubert to the front in a splendidly fitted traveling wagon. The Standard's correspondent at Ladysmith sends a statement that the Boers have captured 1,500 mules, a loss that must seriously cripple British transportation. The attempt of the Boers to cut the railroad at Pieters was frustrated by British cavalry. The wife of General Jan Kock has arrived at Ladysmith under a flag of truce to nurse her wounded husband. All the unwounded Boer prisoners have been sent to Durban to prevent any attempt at rescue. The explanation of the alleged Boer massacre at Dundee appears to be that a portion of the town guard, although al-though fairly warned by General Yule before his retirement, continued to carry arms, and thirty of them were shot before the Boers discovered who they were. BRITISH USE A BALLOON. By This Means Locate the Koer Guns at Ladysmith. London, Oct. 31. Patrols from Ladysmith Lady-smith report that there are four large Boer camps within a radius of ten miles, extending in a semi-circle north east of the town. Evidently the enemy is concentrating all his forces. Commandant Com-mandant General Joubert is in supreme cammand. One Boer laager has a Red Cross tent carefully posted in a con spicuous place. A war balloon, very small and so light that two men can hold and haul it down with a wire strand and which can ascend 3.000 feet, is now in use. and the full position of the Boer guns lias been ascertained. The heavy and incessant rains have flooded Tugela river, which will prove an effectual barrier to any Boers pro- l"u,u ouuLiiwaru. me remaining oridges are strongly guarded. Boers Shooting liritlxh Otttcers. London, Oct. 31. The large num ber of British officers killed in the bat ties wnicn have alri .ly taken Dlaew in Natal has brought out strenuous protests from many quarters against the ancient custom of British officers in refusing to take cover when under fire. From figures at Glencoe it is apparent that one out of every four men killed was an officer, whereas, the organization exists upon the principle that to every twenty-five men there is one officer. TH REE WERE KILLED. Hand Car Containing Four Men Run Down by Passenger Train. Carlinville. Hi., Oct. 31. James Bryant, Bry-ant, foreman, and John Norvelle, George Cramer and Samuel Allen, members of a Quincy, Carrolltou and St Louis section crew undertook to run in a hand car from Barrett to At-water At-water from the Jacksonville and St. Louis to secure a physician for a sick friend.

While a wedding party accompanying August Papernfus and Mary Hansen, who were married at La Crescent, were returning in a "bus to their -home, they drove through a marsh and evidently disturbed dis-turbed a hunter, who, in his anger, fired his shotgun into the party. The driver was badly perforated, but not seriously hurt, Mrs. Milke received five shots in the forehead. Other members mem-bers received slight flesh wounds. The hunter has not been apprehended. Pleads For Statehood. Washington, Oct. 31. Governor Murphy Mur-phy of Arizona, in his annual report to the secretary of the interior, renews his plea for statehood, s tying it ha? been denied to Arizona because of sectional sec-tional prejudice, ignoraocv, imaginary partisan policy and selfishness. Other recommendations are for the cession of all th public lands within Arizona to the territory or state, pointing out that the territory should be authorized au-thorized to lease them as grazing lands. '"A PRESIDENT'S POLICY. Will Recommend an Emphatic Declaration In Favor of Retention of Philippine. Washington, Oct. 28. It is authori tatively stated that there will be no half-way measures suggested for the purpose of side-tracking the Philippine Philip-pine question until after the next cam paign. The president will face tne issue squarely and give congress the best information possible from his commissioners and other sources to support the position he has assumed. Although members of the Philip- . ,1 M pine commission are not taiuing iur publication there is no doubt they will lay stress in their report upon the desirability of prominent and emphat ic declaration, on the part of congress, which will conyince those now in rebellion that all branches of the gov ernment are united on the question of permanent American control of the Philippines. Such action, in the opinion of Admiral Dearey, and Prof. Schurman, will be almost as effective .... . , , as guns in ending the war in tne Philippines. It is now only a question of the specific kind of government the president presi-dent will recommend. He will be governed gov-erned in his decision by the views of the Philippine commissioners, whose final decision will be the result of the deliberations they are here for now. The president is in favor of asserting and maintaining complete sovereignty over the Philippines at whatever cost, and in favor of the most liberal kind of self-government when the insurrec tion ends, and in this he is sustained by the commission. The president is now working on the part of his message regarding the Philippines, assisted by the commis- BRITISH RETREAT. Insufficiency of Boer Communications Siive British Crushing Defeat. London, Oct. -'S. The official announcement an-nouncement of the joining of Gen. While and lien. Yule has come as a great relief, and all the more so 'in view of the fact that later dispatchea have shown that only the incapacity of the intelligence department of the Boers saved Gen. Yule's column from a great disaster. It appears that the British evacuated Dundee during a thunder storm lasting two days, which stoped the Boer cannonading, can-nonading, taking all they could, but leaving plenty behind for the Boers to loot. The appointments of the Boers hospital at Dundee are described as very inadequate nd primitive The Boers themselves, in the absence of a nursing staff, get only scant attention. lieu. Yule's column had a very exhausting ex-hausting march, chiefly, it is believedi by night. The reason of a night march is not given, but it was probably a fear of Boer surprises. The heavy rains and mist hampered the march, but were perhaps the means of saving Gen. Yule from molestation. It took the column twenty-four hours tq cover the last sixteen miles. The official announcement ismadeof the death of General .Symons, who was yesterday reported improving. He was wounded at Elaudsiaugte. u.Url,ilts Will. New -York. Oct. 28. The provisions of the will of the late Cornelius Van-derbilt Van-derbilt have been made public in a statement by Chauncey M. 'Depew. Alfred Gwynnc Vanderbilt inherits the larger portion of his father's fortune, and becomes practically the head of the Vanderbilt family. The will makes no mention of the marriage of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel between the father and son because of the union, but apparently the father's displeasure was visited upon his eldest son, he receiving, all told, under the terms of the will, but 81,500,000, and 81,000,000 of this to be held in trust by the executors. Alfred Gwioue Vanderbilt is, of course, the residuary legatee, and will possess a fortune of probably $40,000,000 to 850.000,000. Gladys, Reginald and Gertrude (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney) will receive about 87,500,000 each. But Mr. Depew states that Alfred will give from his share enough to Cornelius to make the latter as rich as his brother and sisters. Alfred will, therefore, turn over to Cornelius about $6,000,000. GENERAL HENRY DEAD. Late Military (iovernor of Porto Rico, Sao cumbs to Pneumonia. New York, Oct. 28. Brigadier General Gen-eral Guy V. Henry, U. S.

The contest has begun which will be waged in the United States court for several weeks, of the government against thirteen Coeur d'AIene miners on the charge of delaying the United States mails and for conspiracy. Yesterday the prisoners prison-ers were brought into court and all pleaded not guilty. A jury is now be-in;j be-in;j selected to try the case. The grand jury has indicted W. W. Berg, a prominent promi-nent saloon man, for attempting to intimidate in-timidate one of the state's witnesses. Senator Mason May Resign. Chicago. Oct. 28. William E. Mason, junior senator from Illinois, has declared de-clared that he would resign if the Re. publican national convention in 1900 did not declare against "criminal aggression"' ag-gression"' in the Philippines. Mr. Mason even went so far as to say he would resign if the convention favored offering the , Filipinos '"canned freedom," free-dom," as he thought it might do. There must be no evasion on the vital issue of pure and unadulterated freedom or the senator will step down and out. Reported Captore of Boers. London, Oct. 27.

Chamberlain Denies That He Has Sup pressed Telegrams Davltt Resigns. London, Oct. 27. During the debate on the second reading of the appropriation appropri-ation bill in the house of commons, which passed the second reading by a vote of 24 to 28, James H. Dalziel, liberal member for Kirkcaldy, expressed express-ed the opinion that one of the greatest difficulties in arriving at a settlement with President Kruger had been that rightly or wrongly, the president had believed Mr. Chamberlain, the British secretary of state for the colonies, and Cecil Rhodes were identical. He added add-ed that Mr. Chamberlain had given grounds for this belief by suppressing telegrams. The colonial secretary tartly intervened, inter-vened, saying: "I have never suppressed sup-pressed telegrams. I have not got 'hem." Mr. Chamberlain also denied that he had refused to see Dr. Monta-gue Monta-gue White, the agent of the Transvaal, Trans-vaal, who, the colonial secretary added, add-ed, had never applied for an audience. The speaker, William Court Cully, ntervened at this juncture, and declared de-clared all references to such matters were out of order. Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist member for South Mayo, announced to the house of commons that he would resign tomorrow as a protest against the Boer war. Mr. Davitt denounced the jingo press, and said the war for the meanest and most mercenary aims would be known as the greatest crime of the century. He declared that if he had been offered home rule and an Irish republic he would not have accepted ac-cepted them accompanied by the condition con-dition that he vote for the war bill. As a protest he would ask to be relieved re-lieved from attendance in the house. He had been in the house for five years trying to obtain justice for Ireland, and he left it convinced that No-cause No-cause of justice and right would have the support of the house unless backed by force." AGUINALDO'S LIEUTENANTS. Murderers, Horset hi-vs and Outcasts Says 1 Father MrKinnun. Washington, Oct. 27. One of the : president's callers recently was the j Rev. Robert McKinnon, known as '"the soldier priest.'' the chaplain of the First , California. He hud a long interview , with Mr. McKinley, to whom he gave his views of the situation. Father McKinnon said of General Luna, who was killed by Aguinaldo's orderly while tiding to break into the insurgent leader's quarters: "He was the most brilliant man in the insurgent army, and he was a murderer. He murdered his wife aud mother-in-law in Paris and fled to the Philippines. '"General Pio del Pilar."' continued Father McKinnon, "who is said to have applied for a bribe, is a horsethief and convict and an all-around outcast. "The only really honest man who aided in the starting of the rebellion was Paterno, who was then a newspaper news-paper editor in Manila. lie has repented re-pented and is probably back in Manila, lie sent his family there before I left, and was expected to co'ne himself as soon as he could get away from the insurgents. "One by one the insurgents" leaders are dropping away, and all their strength is concentrated in one man, Aguinaldo. Of the original number of leaders, but one of importance remains Mabino, the hunchback lawyer. Ma-bino Ma-bino is not much over four feet in height. He has an unenviable record and is as great a villian as the others." DEWEY HOME! URNED OVER. Honse Purchased for the Admiral is Formally For-mally Delivered. Washington, Oct. 27.

WAIT AWHILE RAYMONB. He Obligingly Explains How He Came by His Rather Peculiar Name. Wayte A. Raymond Is a name wfilch one sees occasionally inscribed upc the register at the Butterfield. There j It nothing peculiar about the name nor about Its possessor, but there is an interesting in-teresting story about the way in which the name was conferred. Mr. Raymond is a commercial traveler who has been coming to Utlca for twenty-five years, and is one of the best-known salesmen in. the druggists' supply trade. The other afternoon while in a reminiscent mood he related how it came about that he was named in the way that h was. "I was born in the west forty-seven forty-seven years ago," began Mr. Raymond, "and I was the youngest of a family of twelve children. My parents are both still alive, and, in fact, there has been but one death in our family for the past fifty years, as is iue cuowm parents, I was no sooner born than my parents began casting about for a suitable name to bestow upon me. They did not find the task an easy one. However, iui imj uaiuou eleven others and had about exhausted the caterory. Not being able to agree uDon a name for their last born, it ii , said that they tnvitea tne neignoors to make suggestions, but, it seems, with no better results. I was, therefore, there-fore, allowed to live along a nameless sort of creature until one day my mother became impatient and said to my father: 'Now, it is shameful not to name this child. Let us agree upon something at -once. rumei, uicu j rehearsing the list, replied as he had I . I 1.11.. nttvn done before: 'Oh. mother, don t let's hurry. Wait awhile and we will find something that will suit us both.' 'Wait awhile,' exclaimed mother, an idea striking her. 'Walt awhile? Well, we have got to call the poor child something else except baby, and for convenience's con-venience's sake we will call him Wait Awhile until we can think of some thing better.' But father anl mother i never thought of anything better or ; even different, and the result as that I was never christened. From that j time out I was called Wait Awhile by i everybody in the neighborhood, and i when I grew old enough to know my ' parents related the circumstances j which led to its bestowal. When I I moved away from the state and came j east the name followed me and I have never tried to change it save that I write the Wait with a 'y' and never sign the 'Awhile.' " Utica Observer. SEASICK ON SEA LEGS. Officers and Sailors of the Navy Fro qnently Distressed. "The officers and sailors of the navy are frequent sufferers from seasickness, seasick-ness, even after they have got their sea legs on," observed a naval surgeon to a Washington Star reporter. "Indeed, "In-deed, I think I can safely say that, young and old, one-third of the entire navy officers as well as men are seasick during storms as well as at other times. In theory naval officers and sailors are entirely free from such so-called so-called weakness, but, in fact, they have stomachs and are sufferers at times the same as the rest of humanity. The sailor, in this respect, has many advantages ad-vantages over the naval officers, and is less sensitive to seasickness, for the reason that he seldom has what is called shore duty to perform, and he is on the ship all of the time, barring the days off now and then of liberty. When an officer it is entirely different, for he seldom has to spend as much time on the ship as he does on shore. The three years' sea duty is generally followed fol-lowed by three years' shore duty, during which time his sea legs and stomach entirely disappear, and have to be built up again. It is rare that an officer on return to sea duty does not have to go through all the painful and dis tressing experiences of his first sea sickness, and I am not sure but eacli recurrence of this experience is worse than the original. I know a dozen officers of from fifteen to twenty-five years' experience in the navy, and I know of at least fifty others who admit that they are as liable to seasickness now as they were when they were middies fresh from the Naval academy. Why, even Admiral Dewey, with his twenty-two and a half years experience expe-rience at sea he completed his forty-fifth forty-fifth year of service in the navy Saturday, Satur-day, Sept. 23 is still subject to attacks of seasickness, and he makes no effort to conceal it, and could not conceal it if he desired, for when he is sick. he is sick all over." Descendants of a Chronic Dronkard. Prof. Pellman, of the University of Bonn, has discovered and identified 709 descendants of a woman named Rola i Jourke, a chronic drunkard, who was born in 1740 and died in 1800. Seven of her descendants have been convict- ; ed of assassination, and seventy-six others for chronic criminality; 144 were beggars by profession; sixty-one lived on public charity alone and 181 were women of the town. In police charges, and in court, asylum and prison pris-on expenses this family alone has cost the German government a sum of 300,000. w OMEN do suffer! Even so-called healthy women suffer!

ARE WOMEN TO WEAR WIGS? Fashion's Latest i'-r-e from l'a-rls Causett t.v Hat.i.ic N. From the Pittsburg Dispatch: It is with pain and dismay that we learn from an alleged scientific comment on the course of the fashions that we are approaching an era of feminine wigs. The assertion is backed by a report of wigs worn by the smart women of Paris, hut she explanation of the coming misfortune in the line of coiffures credits it to a more obvious relation of cause and effect than can be generally discovered in feminine fashions. The explanation is briefly that in the past fas'ninns erimping-irons erimping-irons and curling-tongs to produce wavy and romantic locks damaged the vitality of the hair. Then the pompadour pompa-dour roll strained it back until nature proceeded to revenge herself by producing pro-ducing nice little bare spots on the heads of fashionable women. After which, when the coming fashionable effect requires more hair than the fem.nine head is able to furnish, recourse re-course must be had to the hair of commerce. com-merce. If fashion calls for wis;s, wigs will be worn. We can set that down as settled by the testimony of the centuries cen-turies as to feminine fidelity to the fashions. Nevertheless, we would urge upon the better haf of society to take this scientific fashionable prediction in the ligV- of a warning rather than a chart. Dear ladies, preserve your hair. If you must wear wigs you will still be the mistresses of masculine affections. Whistling Trees in Africa. Schweinfurth, the African traveler, describes an insect organ builder. In the country of the Shiilooks, he says, acacia groves extend over an area of a hundred square miles. From the attacks at-tacks of insects which have worked to the inside their ivory white shoots are often swollen at their base with globular bladders measuring about an inch in diameter. After the insect has managed to glide out of its circular hole this shoot becomes a sort or musical instrument upon which the wind produces flute-like sounds.
