only to Indian guides, and its devious

Washington, Nov. 1S-Commissioner

in fighting the habeas corpus proceed
ings Instituted by the Indians to pre-
vent the compulsory attendance of In
dian children at the agency school For
eight months only three children were
in attendance at the school last year,
and now that the agent is enforcing
compulsory education, as directed by
the authorities here, writs OF habeas
corpus have been sworn out to restrain
the government from carrying out its
policy. The Sac and Fox tribe in Iowa
numbers about 1888 souls; they occupy
1865 acres, surrounded on all sides by
civilized white communities. The In
dams are represented as blanket In
dians and wholly unprogressive. They
own their reservation. however, and
and set up the plea that they are
American citizens. They also argue that
the school is not on the reservation,
which is true, but this fact is modified
by the circumstances that the author

agency school, and it was built as such,

They are approaching Estcourt and
II they can possibly do so they will
carry out their strategy of isolating it
by cutting the communication between
1t and the Mooi river, about thirty
miles to the south, where the railway
bridge crosses the river
Boer patrols have already been sight
ed in that direction. They are south Of
Colenso in great numbers.
The plan Of campaign on the western
side is believed to be for one British
column to advance along the railroad
upon Kimberley, driving back the Beers
and effecting the relief of the town
while a second column covers it's flank
by operating in the direction of Blom-
fontein. The first column has been re-
ported to be within fifty miles Of KIM
berley.
During the last week at least $4,000
men have arrived in South Africa.
Some 5000 have gone on to Durham. The
Manila is the last of the transports to
be sent eastward.
Sir G. F. Cleery and Gen. Hildyard
will soon have ample troops with artil-
lery for the forward movement of re-
lief.

bridge over the Tugela river is intact,

The Tugela itself is said to be fordable
here and there.
Some of the Beers. according to re-
ports. are returning home. having had
enough of the fighting. Especially is
this said to be the case with the Free

tackled.
London, Nov 1S.-The close Of the
week finds the situation in South Africa
assuming more rosy hue from the
British point of view than was the case
several days back. Then the newspa-
pers. reviewing the war situation, found
it impossible, despite their belief in
British tenacity, to avoid certain tone
of anxiety. The early stage of hostili-
ties in Natal was over. Ladysmth was
besieSed, but they We're still looking for
the arrival of transports, which We're to
| transform the character of the cam
paign.
This morning a tone of far greater
cheerfulness and confidence prevails.
Ladysmith is invested by the enemy
more closely than it was seven days
ago, but confidence is felt in Gen.
Whites ability to hold his own and in
| flict severe blows upon the enemy.
From various reports it seems GER
tain that there has been heavy fighting
at Ladysmith. Boer kilograms state
that on the 7th the town was severely
bombarded. Several more guns appear
to have been brought up from the Jo-
hannesburg and Pretoria forts.
On the 9th something resembling an
| assault seems to have been delivered,
and on the 10th was reported an action
in which the Beers We're said to have
| been badly cut up.
Still the situation at Ladysmith is not
so favorable as that at Mafeking, for
| the reason that Gen. Whites positions
are dominated by the Boer batteries.
| According to Boer dispatches the en-
emy's force in front of Estcourt num-
bers 5000. The attack on the armored
| train indicates that they have artillery.
| Against a relief column of 10000 or
| 1900 men, with eighteen field guns,
such force as this could do but little.
1t may damage the railroad and destroy
some of the numerous bridges, thus
considerably retarding the British ad-
vance.
There may be fighting at any minute
near Estcourt between the advancing
Boer commando and the British forces
1t is now considered certain that the
Beers will make strenuous efforts to
hurl back the British reinforcements
before they can join the troops now at
Estcourt.
| The Beers are also straining every
NERVE in bringing up every available
man to reduce Ladysmith before the
relief force is ready. Their operations
to the sUAth to retard that relief are
also being boldly conducted.

BRYAN,s NEW AMBITION.
Failing to Break into the White
House He WILL Try for Scnafe

Failing to Break into the White
House He Will Try for senate.
Chicago, Nov. 1s.-William j. Bryan
will have two strings to his bow next
year. If he is not elected president a
fusion legislature will make him United
States senator to succeed Senator
Thurston. and as the contingency is ad-
mitted to be highly probable Mr..
Bryan is said to dream oftener of the
senate chamber than of the white
house. His succession to the senator
ship of course depends on the fusionists
carrying Nebraska next year, but that
seems SO much easier than winning the
presidential election that the Bryanites
are sanguine of getting the minor place.
Edward Rosewater editor of the
Omaha Bee, was in Chicago yesterday
and in discussing the recent election in
Nebraska said that the "popocrats'' OF
his state are prepared to fight hard for
the presidency and two senatorships in
1900. Senator Hayward is at the point
| of death and it is understood Governor
Poynter will appoint as his successor
ex-senator Allen, one of the populists
OF the state. Senator Thurston's s
term expires in 1901. The legis-
| lAluie which MEETS lflaC year, II con-
troiled by the fusionists, Is expected to
elect Bryan in Thurston's place and
name Allen to succeed himself. We're ii
not for the fact that Bryan expects tc
be the nominee for president he would
likely be appointed by the governor in
the event of Senator Hayward's death
AS it is. Bryan intends to run for pres
ident with the view of going to the sem
ate in 1901.
The fusionists of Nebraska elected
their ticket by 1900 or 1900 majority"
| said Editor Rosewater. when asked for
his views on the election. Last year
| they elected their governor by 5000.
/ That is interpreted as a decisive in
| dorsement of Bryan and remon-
STRANGE against the policy of the ma
tional administration by the popocrats.
| These figures, however. are deceptive
| The total vote of Nebraska this year
was $1,000 larger than the vote of 1898
| There is no doubt the stay-at-home
vote last year was for the most part
4 popocratic. Bryan considered the carry
ing of Nebraska his paramount need
he must have his own state behind him
to back up his claim to the presidential
nomination, and with that view he bent
all his energies to carrying the state by
an increased majority.
