THE WAR IN BURMAH.
Successful Fight of the British Forces
Mt Pagan

RANGooN, November 27.-An official dig
patch from Gen. Ppendergast, commander
of the British expeditionary forces, states
that the British had a successful fight with
the Burmese at Pagan on the oath instant,
and.thst he expects to reach Msndalay, the
capital of BuImah, tomorrow. Msndalay
is about three miles from the Irrawady
river, so it will be rather far away for any
thing like an effective IRE from the British
gunbosts, should they get up to it. There
is a massive brick wall, with a battlement-
ed parapet all around the four sides. Each
wall has q gate, and yer the gates are
towers with seven roofs, all of them bright
with gliding. AT regular intervals there
are smaller towers, which serve the pur-
pose of gusrd-houses. The walls are sur
rounded by a deep ditch $50 feet wide.
The British expeditionary force has capt
ured Mingyan, after a sharp fight with the
Burmese. Three Of the British were
wounded,

BosToN, Mass, November 27.-The
storm which has ragged for several days
subsidized yesterday. At Crescent Beach
the principal hotel was almost completely
demolished. The tide tore down the pi-
szzas, and as the waters rose higher the
surf broke with full force against the side
of the house. The entire front and side
were dashed TO pieces by the force of the
waves, which reached as high as the sec
ond story. lighthouses without number
were carried away. The rain changed to
snow. The fall in Vermont and New
Hampshire is very heavy, varying in
depth from one to two and a hall feet,
while in some sections there are great
drifts, which seriously impede travel,

LONDON, November 27.-The statement
that the Rulgarians captured Prot yester-
day after being twice repulsed was incor-
rect. 1t appears that the entire Bulgarian
army made an attack on Prot. A pro-
longed struggle ensued, during which the
Servian artillery rendered excellent ser
vice, and maintained such an effective
Ere that the Bulgarians were repulsed.
The losses Of the Bulgarians are reported
to have been very heavy.

Daring Escape.

JOLIET, ILL, November ga daring
escape was made from the Joliet peniten-

up from Peoria in 1876 on a life sentence
for murder. 1t is thought by the prison
officials that McAllister effected his escape
by scaling the walls in the vicinity of the
engine rooms where he had been employed
as engineer, and, being considered a trusty
convict, was not very closely watched.
McAIister is a fourth-termer, having done
one time for larceny, burglary, robbery
and lastly for murder. The entire prison
force as well as the entire police depart
ment are now securing the country in
hopes of obtaining some clew to the
escaped convict.

A Debt of Honor.

There has not been, we believe, a po-
~litical speech delivered in any campaign
IN this State since 1874, in tho course Of
which the speaker did not turn to the
ladies' stand, and in the most gallant,
gracious and grateful language that he
could command, express to "the women
of South Carolina his deep and abid-
ing sense Of the important part which
they had filled in the work Ct redeeming
the State from the slough into which it
had fallen. 1t was frequently said, in
deed, that but for the interest mani
Tested by the women, but for their zeal
in urging fathers, brothers, sons, hus-
bands and lovers to do their duty, but
for the encouragement OF their presence
ION this suspicious occasion," but for
"the sunlight of their Smiles" &c, &c,
(Sce old files of the NeUS AMI COu-
rie,') ''all would have been lost. The
facts and the phrases thus briefly re-
called are fresh in the minds Of those
who composed the audiences on such
suspicious occasions, and will probably
he remembered by some Of the speakers.
What we wish to remark, just now,
and our meaning is plain, is that the

easier for men thnn for women to find

been appointed already, we believe, and
the example thus set should be followed

do so. This done, our congressman and
