General Sir George Meivart W bite sent a strong foiee of cavalry and infantry to attack the Boers at Tatham's farm, about ten miles to the northwest, near Besters, and apparently achieved a surprise; the Boers being caught on the open veldt and out to pieces and their camp captured. Encouraged by this success General White decided to risk an even more important engagement, which was again justified by success. Ladysmith has been isolated and a Boer force has intercepted the railway between Ladysmith and Colenso. This force on Friday r.n.l descended upon Colenso, and, as shown by the dispatches from Esleourt, lrwl compelled a hurried abandonment of Colenso and a retirement of the British to Hstcourt. GeneraMYhite had ascertained that the Ifoers were attacking Colenso, but he was not aware of the British retirement. lie had determined, therefore, to attack the Ifoers in the rear.T'fius hoping to achieve the double objeefr of drawing off an attack upon the wealy garrison of Colenso and possibly Wry opening communication southward. The Boers had advanced southward until they had occupied the hills north of Tugelu river and dominating Colenso on the other side of the stream. The hills slope to a plain that reaches to the banks of the Tugela. General White's division caught the Boers in the rear, and after the hills had been shelled the British infantry stormed the position. Meanwhile the British cavalry swept round the hills and as the retreating enemy descended into the plains, with British bayonets behind and tlie river in front of them, they were charged by the cavalry and seem to have perished almost to a man. The British then returned to Lady-- ! smith without coming into touch with the Colenso garrison, which had re-- I tired to Estcourl. In a short time reinforcements will be arriving, when it ss expected the tide will be altogether in favor of the British. GEN. WHEELER ON THE WAR. HI being destined for various parts of tht state.

In Kentucky Goebel's defeat can not be taken as a Republican gain, because the election turned on local issues and the unpopularity of the Democratic shook hands with John P. Holland, the inventor, and congratulated him on his success. He had waited twenty-fivyears for victory, aud tears streamed down his cheeks when the naval officers greeted him. The Holland ran out to tlie course and Captain Lowe and Commander Emery descended into the light round turret on the top of the boat. The cap was closed and the Holland prepared to make its first trip along the measured mile. The beginning of the course was marked by two red and white poles set 300 feet apart. The termination of the mile was marked in the same manner. Beyond the termination pole was set a pole to be used as a target. Between the two ends of the mile were poles so that the board could note the adherence to the course or any deviation from it. The course was by compass due north and south, the starting point being the south end. When all was ready the Holland sank to a depth of ten feet while going at full speed, which was attained almost immediately. This left the tips of the flag poles on her deck exposed. But for these it would have been impossible to have traced the boat, as while submerged she made no disturbance upon the surface. She traveled at the rate of eight knots an hour, making the distance from start to turnminutes. ing point in nine and Arriving at tlie end of the mile, she bhot to the surface, her turret coming into view. Ten seconds later she had again disappeared. Within the tel seconds she corrected her course, having deviated only seventy feet from the true course, and fired a regulation Whitehead torpedo. weighing 840 pounds, which went spinning off toward the target, 800 yarclsawav. Meanwhile, as the deadly missile whirled through on its course, the Holland swung about and started back. She turned in a radius of seventy-fivtimes feet, or about one and her own length. She was flying back to the starting point before the missile had run its course. The return trip was made in about tlie same time as the outward run, and was equally successful. e erndidate.

Iowa gave the Republican ticket a plurality of from 50,000 to 60,000. Kansas gave a Republican majority, electing a majority of the county officers. There was no state ticket. Kentucky went Republican, electing Taylor over Goebel by about 10,000 majority. Massachusetts gave a Republican majority. The question of expansion was an issue in one district, the Republicans winning on it. In New York the Republicans will have a majority in the assembly of 32, a gain of 14 seats.

Regarding tlie result, he said: "The result of the election is extremely gratifying to me, asitnnistbe to every lover of liberty. The vote for idea is large enough the to justify the claim that the cause has won the greatest victory ever recorded in the political history of the state. "I believe that the moral force will cause the legislature to pass the municipal code commission bill, which provides that every municipal office!" in Ohio shall be elected by the plan, doing waj entirely with political parties in all our cities. Furthermore, the vote of the idea will have its influence in shaping issues next year. There will be more of morals in the national platforms by the reason of it.

The fight on tioebel was a bitter personal one, which began in the state convention and has reigned ever since.

It is assumed here that the purpose of the expedition is to move down the railroad toward TarDagupan-Manil- a lac, in order to prevent Aguinaldo's forces from making another base farther north. Dagupan and Apparri are the strongholds of the insurgents in the north. It has been the unanimous opinion of military experts that Dagupan should be made a base of operations, but sufficient troops have heretofore been lacking. With Generals Wheaton, MacArthur and Lawton moving on Tarlac from three directions, and the mountains hemming in the other side, the insurgents capital will soon become infantry, theThirty-thir- d untenable. Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his headquarters to the rich tobacco country at the northern end of the island. It will he difficult for the insurgents to escape. Should the scheduled operations succeed, organized insurrection on a large scale should be at an end early next spring, although guerrilla warfare is likely to continue for a long time. No one anticipates that the insurgents will make mauy hard battles. TREASURY STATEMENT. a ml Disbursements For the Year. Washington, Nov. 7. Hon. Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, in his annual report to secretary Gage, Statements of Eleven ues sums up the operations of the fiscal year by saying that "a notable activity was exhibited in all kinds of currency, with a marked increase in the use of gold coin and in a less degree of silver coin, while the prosperity of the country has at no time left any part of the government notes in the treasury above the demands of daily business in its several offices. He says: "The effect of the new revenue law is shown in the receipts of the year, in which there was an increase in 1898 of 56,553,199 from customs and 102,530,-52- 0 from international revenue. The collections of international revenue were larger than those for any previous year, with the exception only of 1800, and the total ordinary receipts, which amounted to 515,860,020, were also the largest on record, with the same exception. The net ordinary expenses were a little over 605,000,000, an amount exceeded only twice in 1863 and in 1804. There was a deficiency of 89,111,559 in ordinary revenues. Inclusive of loans and the issue of notes and certificates, the total receipts on all accounts by warrants were and the total disbursements, 940,222,148. With the addition of the proceedings of the new 3 per cent to the ordiuarv revenues, there was a fiscal surplus of 100,791,521 for the year. The receipts from the loan represented every part of the country. Of the total of nearly 200,000,000, upwards of 125,000,000 came to the office in W ashingtou in the form of checks on banks in every part of the country. Nearly 29.000,000 was paid in gold, upwards of 25,000,000 in United States notes and the rest in other kinds of money. IDAHO RIOTERS CONVICTED.
