British Have Made Up Their Minds
That the Task to Be ACCOMPLISHED

London, Dec. 1. 4:3C a. m.-Beyond the
report form Estcourt that firing was
heard in the direction of L%adysmith on
Monday there is not a shred of news of
any kind from the seat of war. A semi
official statement has been issued that
Lord Methuen's wound is not serious and
that he is expected to be all right in the
course Of a few days. 1t is certain.
however, that the wound will prevent
his being in the saddle and there is great
anxiety to know whether he will be
compelled temporarily to abandon the
personal direction of affairs. His next
in command is Colonel rolville. COM
handing the guards brigade. He has a
reputation as an excellent officer.
AS men are needed in all directions
LORD Wo!seiey's announcement that q
new division will be embarked without
delay has been received with the great
est satisfaction. The transports will soon
be returning from the Cape and it is
hoped that the men will be dispatched
speedily. On this point the Morning
Post says: THE sooner we can make up
our minds as to the magnitude of the

Kimberley, Nov. "a, BY way Of Klok-
%fontein, Nov. 27.-There were a few rifle
shots early to-day, from the direction Of
Wrights' farm, but this was regarded as
merely one of the numerous Boer tricks
to draw our men out by inducing us to
believe that the relieving forces are
drawing near. This afternoon the Beers
blew UP two large culverts. near the rifle
butts, On the railway line toward Spyt-
fOntein.
The news Of the proximity Of the re-
lieving forces greatly cheered the garri-
son and the inhabitants. A few Beers

part having gone to %Dytfontein, where
around noon.
From KafIir sources comes a report
that there are two large Boer laagers at
Olifant's dam, with $50 wagons for water
supply. The Beers have cut the exist
ing dam three miles distant, allowing the

is believed to be the Free state base of
operations on the western border.
The official estimate places the number
of Boer shells fired during the lombard,
ment of Kimberley at about LOCO, and
ours at no fewer than 600. AS the enc
ny's shells so frequently hit soft, sandy
ground, the explosive effect is greatly
neutralized.

tory condition.

The soldiery broke into cheers. Merry songs rang through the camp, and there was rejoicing over the easy victory. Ma tuba Hill had been taken without the loss of man.
 But just at noon the last of the Boer wagons disappeared from the camp, and then a singular change came over the Boer officers and men, Who were in plain siSht of the English. They suddenly caught up their swords and guns and started on the stiff climb up the frlghtful west front of Majuba Hill, right into the camp of the enemy They came up like mountain goats pursued by the hunter. Lesping from rock to rock they managed always to keep their bodies in shelter. Little target did they offer for those above. On theN own part, whenever they saw an English head they fired and they hit. It was noted after the battle, and when the dead were examined, that they had been shot through the head, the best evidence in the world of fine craftsmanship.
 Much has been written of that wonder full charge of the Army of the Tennessee up the face of Lookout mountain. That was a sheltered front. Majuba Hill Is bald headed and bald-faced. It is a rearing, for bidding, menacing rock This noon In Feb ruary long ago fire ran along the lips of it's summit fire from English guns passing harmlessly over the assailants. Fire ran up it's sides from the guns of the Boers, and death met the blaze at the hill crest. In less than an hour twenty officers and ?5C privates of the English forces were dead. Those that were not killed surren- dered or ran away The white flag replaced the English colors, while the Boer, stand ing on the uppenmost point of Majuba, tri- umphantly said:
 This is my land"
 Just an hour and this was done--a charge up a mountain front 1000 feet in height, q slaughter of men entrenched back of na- tural walls, mad fight, d Dutch victory, of which any army of the world might have been proud. Swiney of the Ninety fourth, was dead, and Harrison, Elliott. Anstruther. Millet, Deane, Poole R. A. Hingeston, Cornwallis, Maude.

 The old Corcoran house, formerly oeeu- pied by the Brices, is being remodelled and rehtted for Senator Depew. Senator Platt will leave to Senator Depew the role of so- clal leader. The former will continue to live ats hotel and be willing to follow his junior in all social matters, while he will continue Ito be the leader in matters Of politics. Senator Clark. the richest man in congress, has bought the Stewart castle, but he will not occupy it this winter, hay ing taken a house furnished. He has not decided what to do with the Stewart prop erty and may end by tearing it down and building an apartment house on the site. It is one of the most valuable pieces or property in the city, located on Dupont Circle, and lying between the homes of the Letters and Mrs Westinghouse. The street cars pass his doors, which he says he forgot when he bought the property, and does mot care to live where he can hear the noise attendant upon this neees- sary nuisance in city life But as he gets something like $10,000 a day from his cop per and gold mines, the paltry sum of $780, o0O which he paid Senator Stewart for his rickety old home is a mere bagatelle.
 Congress May Re Called
 There Is some talk of calling congress in session before December. The president
 
 a number of his senatorial and congress- ional callers recently His idea seems to be that 1t would be well to get the house organized month sooner so that the legis- latiNe bills and the measures for the gov ernment of the colonies might be framed and got under way before the holidays. He has decided nothing however. and may conclude to wait until the regular session. The secret aries are well advanced in their annual reports and should the president decide to call congress in session earlier than usual he will only have to write his own message in more of a hurry than he would do otherwise
 The president writes very easily. how eyer, and seldom takes more than week ar two to nrer1re his annual messages. He is ready of speech, and as a rule does not write his speeches out but only prepares notes. Everything he says is carefully taken down and placed in scrap books, which are kept at the white house.
 I had occasion recently to refer to one of his dispatches sent during the war. The secretaries could not find what was want "7 so l was permitted to go over the pres ident's scrap books and finally found what was desired. There are several big scrap books, The speeches which he has written or dictated are kept as prepared, while the eXtemporary ones are ether taken from the daily press of the city where they were made out or else conied by the official stenographer. It is the presidents inten- ton to have all his speeches and messa- "9s NNund i"to volume just as President Harrison had done when he retired to private life. President Mckinley has not sent one third as many messages to con gress as Grover Cleveland did. but he has been unusually prolific in speech making.
