thority to make such contracts as he sees
fit for the electrical equipment of the road.
Both Manhattan and Metropolitan were
strong, apparently Oh the revival of this
talk General Electric also continues

The only information received this

FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATION.

Art and Music Hold Full Sway at

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 2.-The
fourth annual celebration of Founders
Day of Carnegie Institute was held in

the exercises were thought by many to
be more interesting than on any pre-

The principal speaker of the day waA

on the subject of Modern Changes In

enjoyed. The feature of the exercises
having the most interest was the an

report from Rome that. Portugal Will

with the view, strongly prevalent in
some quarters here. that the British In
yaslon OF the TrnnSvaal will be made
from that point.
Divided In Opinion.
The morning papers are divided in
opinion as to whether Sir George Stew
art Whites latest list OF casualties In
cludes the losses Of Lieutenant carle-
toms column before 1t surrendered. The
preponderance Of opinion incllnes that
these are not Included. Since, II they
were, General White would probbaly
have mentioned the fact
A report that Boer force with guns
from KoOmatipoort is making its way
through zululand is held to indicate an
intention to seize the railway between
Colenso and Pletermaritzburg. II It has
not already been seized. This. how
ever will soon be known, as armored
trains are patrolljns the line.
The real question now for the British
public is, can General White hold out
another ten days or two weeks until
the army corps arrives? Less anxiety
would be felt on his account were 1t not
that every day seems to bring a fresh
list Of casualties, proving that much
has been concealed as to the real state
of AFFAIRS. At the best the coming
week must prove critical and anxious
time.
The Times commenting edltorlally
upon the fact that news appears to arr
rive in Belgium from South Africa
through some channel uncontrolled by
British censorship, reminds the govern
ment that information valuable to the
enemy can similarly leak from Europe
to the Transyaal. It suggests that the
government should fully exercise their
right under existing conventions. It any
such channel has been for special req
sons left open. and 1t appears to think
there may be some truth In yesterdays
Berlin and Paris stories.
The Daily News suggests that those
rumors ara more likely intended for
propagation at the Cape and to inau-
ence the Afrikanders.

follows:
Replying to your question as to the

matters little who tills the state Offices

OF the prosperity which has attended
the Republican national administration
1t means much to the people to have
Republican success in Pennsylvania
this year. with the new issues OF anti
trust, anti-expansIon, antI-imperlnllsm
raised by the Democracy, Il would be
hard to convince the voters outside of
Pennsylvania that Republican defeat
in this state was wholly caused by local
dIssenslons In the party, In addition.
the Republican candidates are certainly
the equals of their opponents In Integ-
rity and ability to MI the positions for
which they have been nominated,
