CAUSES ANXIETY.
Situation at Ladysmith Considered DAN
gerous.

Sit uat1on at Ladysm1tn COnsloereu Ian
gerous.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-The position at
Ladysmith, although not alarming, is
sufficiently dangerous to excite anxiety.
Evidently the Beers are trying to re-
peat their Dundee tactics. Roughly
estimated they have $1,000 men as
against $4,000 British. General Sir
Stewart White has the better artillery,
but his is of lesser range. The delay
in the Boer attack is reported to be
due to the non-arrival of Commandant
General Joubert's column. This has
given the British a much needed respite
after their recent exertions. Every
thing, it is now considered, hinges
upon General Whites resource and
Judgment. Nothing is known regard
ing the progress of defensive work for
the protection of Ladysmith.
The censorship is more active than
ever. According to The Daily Chronl-
Cle's correspondent +ttho new regula-
lions limit the number of words al
lowed for press dispatch to one-fourth
the number allowable before"
Beers Capture British Mules.
The Standards correspondent at
Ladysmith, telegraphing Saturday,
sends statement that the Beers have
captured 1900 mules, loss that must
seriously inconvenience British trans
port service.
The attempt of the Beers to cut the
railroad at Pieters was frustrated by
the British cavalry.
The wife of General Kock has arrived
at Ladysmith under flag of truce to
nurse her wounded husband. All the
unwounded Boer prisoners have been
sent to Durham to prevent any attempt
at rescue,
The explanation of the alleged Boer
massacre at Dundee appears to be that
a portion of the town guard, although
fairly warned by General Yule before
his retirement, continued to carry.arms
and 80 of them were shot before the
Beers discovered who they were.
The body of Sir William Symons was
buried without coffin, shrouded in the
Union Jack.

COAL FAMINE FEARED.

Shortage of Black Diamonds in a Por-
tion of South Dakota
HURON, S. D., Oct. ga coal famine
is threatened in the state. There is al
ready a shortage of 100000 tons, and
wholesale dealers find it next to i'm
possible to get their orders filled. There
is clamor in every direction for black
diamonds, and the situation is rapidly
growing serious.
The railroads have been using their
supply very carefully for several weeks,
and are fearful lest they be left short.
One reason for the shortage lies in the
fact that is we'll nigh impossible to get
cars, owing TO the heavy business trans
acted by the roads.

North Dako ta Supreme Court Hands
Down an Important Decision.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Oct. 30.-The su-
preme court has handed down a deci-
sion in the Dickey county tax certificate
case, which was sent up from here for
trial, number of constitutional points
being involved. The case is entitled
Paine VS.. Dickey county, a suit torecover
$40, 900 from the county under section
"a, chapter 182, laws of 1890. The
court holds with the plaintiff, Paine,
and decides that the provisions of the
law giving holders of tax certificates
the right to recover from the county
where taxes fail because illegally lev
led, is constitutional. The case is an
important one, as many counties and
Eastern men of capital are interested in
tax certificates.

Advice of a Minister Speaking on Prison
Reform.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 30-Rev. j.
A. Milburn, in his sermon upon prison
reform, took the position that the first
offenders should go free, except in cases
of murder, and should not be taken in
the patrol wagon. Justice courts, he
holds, should be open night and day for
immediate hearing, crime being a dis
ease. For second offenses sentence
should be imposed under the indeter-
inmate law, and prisons should be
graded, in the line Of reform rather
than of punishment.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The Echo de Paris
publishes an interview with DIR. Leyds,
special representative of the South
African Republic in Europe, who ex-

not intervene if they were then de-

There was no question, he asserted, of
