London, Nov. San air of relief was
observable among the British war Off
| eials to-day as result of reassuring
news from Ladysmith, and the tone of
comment on the war news has assumed
optimism which lately has been abb
sent, leading to the belief that, in adj
dition to the brighter prospects of the
be1eagured garrison, the war Office is
cheered by the news of the arrival at
their destination of the first transports
with Gen. Buffers army corps. Now
the officials are inclined to predict that
low water mark has been touched and
that slowly, but steadily, the rising
tide of victory may be expected.
The proposal to send out an addition
al 10000 troops is highly approved and
it is considered probable that fully
that number will be required, as all
independent reports concur in saying
the resistance of the Beers will be
stubborn to the last and not until the
resources of the two republics are ex-
hausted will they acknowledge defeat.
The news of a great victory which
was circulating here last evening is not
confirmed and the Boer losses reported
by what may be designated "Kaffir-
grams" ought to be greatly discounted,
as the Kaffirs, knowing the British
wish to hear of Boer losses, are likely
to supply them with reports to their
taste.
However, allowing for all exaggera-
ton, Gen. White appears to have given
Gen. Joubert's forces several home
thrusts, and the war Office is justified
in it's contention that the news demon
strates clearly that Gen. White is able
to more than merely hold his own, and
can strike blows of such force as not
only to insure the safety of Ladysmith,
but probably also to have a telling eff
feet on the duration and results of the
pending operations of Gen. Buffers
army corps.
One of the most important items to-
day is that Gen. French is going to
Cape Town. This is taken as a con-
frmation of the statement already
made by the Associated press that the
main advance of the British forces will
be through the open, fat country of
the Orange Free State and the south
western part of the Transvaal.
Further reports of the Groberrkloof
affair tend to confirm the statement
that the British were successful A
Kafir declares that fully 100 Beers were
killed on the hill top by the ''men-
women" which is supposed to indi-
cate that the Gordon highlanders were
there.
Sub-Inspector Pet1ey, of the Natal
police, says that his men alone, form
ing one of several burial parties, in
TERED 81 Beers who were killed at the
battle of Talana hill.
The Dublin fusiliers are being served
with new kits, as they lost everything
in the retreat from Dundee.
The colonial forces are already fight
ing in their shirt sleeves, and it is ex-
pected that this will spread to all the
forces before long.

democrats for governor by 1880 two
year ago.
Chairman Dick to-day has revised his
figures so as to claim from So. 600 to Co.,
600 plurality for Judge Nash for gov
ernor and the rest of the republican
state ticket, and an unusually large
majority in both branches of the legis-
lature. No senator is, however, to be
selected by this legislature. The total
vote was, perhaps, exceeded only at the
last presidential election. It will reach
900, 900, as compared with 794, 600 last
year and $4,000 in 1897, with which
year the vote was compared. The plu-
rality of Judge Nash exceeds that of
President Mckinley in 1896 and almost
double that of Gov. Bushnell in 1897.
The Jones vote, although the largest
ever polled for third candidate, is not
regarded as large to-day as indicated
in the earlier returns last night. 1t is
not likely to exceed 100, 600 and almost
half of this vote was cast in Cleveland,
