day. It is said that by the deal Philadel-

Regarding the proposition made by
Washington to the Philadelphia club to
bunch the fifty or more players under con-
tract to the two clubs, the Philadelphia
club then to have it's pick of twenty and
the Washington club to have the remainder,
and then receive 10000 from the Phiadel-
phias, the owners of the latter club en-
been seriously considered by them. They
say that by this scheme they would prac-
tically be paying 1000 for four or five of
the Washington players, and at the same
time give to Washington several star play
ers of their own whom they do not want to
retain next season, but who can be used in
advantageous trades with other clubs The
deal, they say, will receive no further con-
SideratiOn from them.

BRITISH DEFEATED.
Attacked by Indian Rebels and Forced
to Retreat,


SINIA, Nov 1O-Oficial dispatches re-
ceived here to-day from the British camp
in the Madam valley tell of a "reconnois-
ance' in force by the British which result
ed quite seriously to the government troops.
The movement was commanded by Briga-
der General Westmacott, and the British
force engaged consisted of the Dorsetshire
Regiment, the Northamptonshire Regiment,
a regiment of Sikhs and two batteries of
artillery. This column moved yesterday to
Saran-Sar and reached the summit of the
mountain with little resistance, where it
went into camp but soon after retired
the main body. This latter movement was
attended by serious losses. The insurgent
tribesmen followed after the column in
strong forces, swarming from behind the
rocks, showing wonderful audacity and
keeping up a heavy fire at short range on
the British troops. Only the admirable dis
position made by General Westmacott of
his troops saved the rear guard. The gen.
eral personally held the men together and
saw all the wounded taken away before he
retired himself. on the way back to camp
the transport of the wounded was greatly
hampered by the fact that the troops had
to retire over fearfully broken country,
surrounded on all sides by swarms of the
enemyS skirmishers. The route was inter-
sected every hundred yards or so by deep
ravines, and it was while the troops were
engaged in passing through this ground
that the tribesmen rushed on the troops
fearlessly making their way up the ravines
to close quarters. The Northamptonshire
Regiment suffered the most, many casual
ties being incurred while saving their
wounded. All the wounded reached camp
at about dark, and it is still hoped that
missing officer and twelve men will reach
camp safely. The loss of the British will
be about fifty men killed and wounded. OF
this number the Northamptonshire Regi-
ment lost Lieutenant Waddell and four
men killed, and Lieutenant Mcintyre, of
this regiment, and twelve men are missing.
The Northamptonshire also had Lieut..
Trent and thirty men wounded. The Dor
setshire Regiment had Lieutenant Ingram,
Lieutenant Mercer and six men wounded.
The Sikhs lost two men killed and had six
wounded.
