Situation at Ladys,nith Considered Dan-
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 1900 men as
against $4,000 British. General Sir
Stewart White has the better artillery,
but his ia 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 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. Il
The censorship is more active than
ever. According to The Daily Chronl.
cles correspondent 1.-the new regula-
tions 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 Ladysmiel under flag of truce tc
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 Boe1
massacre at Dundee appears to be that
q portion of the town guard. although
fairly warned by General Yule before
his retirement, continued to carry,armt
and 80 of them were shot before the
Beers discovered who they were.

buried without coffin, shrouded in the

bright yellow on the neck; back feathers,
cinnamon edged with green; under parts,
scarlet, with 4 dash Of orange on the
throat; secondary feathers, bright blue on
the upper surface. pale brown under

In the dusk resting on the lily pads Of a

Et8SS to British.
{ LONDON, Oct. 30.-The large number
af British officers killed in the battles
which have already taken place in Ma
sA} has brought out strenuous protests
from many quarters against the ancient
custom of British officers in refusing to
take cover when under fire. From fig
urss at Glencoe. it is apparent that one
out of every four men killed was an Of
6cer, whereas, the organization exists
npon the principle that to every IS men
there is one officer. 1t is evident that
IL the same ratio of mortality is kept
up, the British forces will become se.
rtonsly under-of6cered. Among the en-.
listed men at Glencoe, the proportion
of killed to wounded was 80 to 1853.
while 10 officers were killed to 22 off,
Gers wounded. The difference in the
percentage leads to the conclusion that
many of the officers were hit more than

tquently quoted. The feelingin the army
itseltis that though the regulations do
not say the officers must not lie down,
it is such an old established principle
that it would take 8 brave man to in
angurate a change, and the adage of
the British soldier .'foliow wherever an
officer leads" is held TO % still intensely
true, for although the officers believe
the personnel of the army is as good as
ever, it has been tho history Of Great
Britain that they at the same time
maintain that Tommy Atkins" needs
more leading than any man in the
world; so the spilling of Great Britain's
best blood is likely to continue for the
4pTeseut.

The evening times., 1899-08-26

New York, Aug. 26.--The stock market
opened quiet and generally lower. The
selling OF stocks at the opening seemed to
be altogether by the bearish room traders
who based their ventures upon expectations
that large decrease would appear in the
surplus reserves in the banks weekly state
msnt Apart from their selling, however.
there did not appear to be any pressure
upon the general market and subsequently
much firmer tone developed throughout
the list. The weakest feature of the market
in the early dealings was Sugar Refining,
which declined sharply both on reports of
further reductions in the price of refined
article and also in expressed misgivings in
regard to the dividend to be declared early
next month. The industrial quarter, out
side of Sugar Refining, was extremely dull
and showed only small price changes. Com
paratiyely firm features of the railway list
were Union Pacific, Northern Pacific Mis-
souri, Pacific, Atchison, and Southern Rail-
way preferred. A sharp rise in Mobile and
Ohio was feature OF the dealings and
was based upon assertions in regard TO the
current earnings OF the company.
The Granger stocks were very dull but
after opening lower they all developed
steadiness. Among the specialties Ten
nessee Coal and Iron was notably strong
on buying for both accounts. The London
market was closed over one of the usual
summer holidays at that point so there
was no influence exerted from that quar-
ter in the local dealings There was prac-
tically no news of any financial import
ance over night, but sentiment was
strengthened by the extremely favorable
reports of the commercial agencies and
by number of handsome returns OF rail-
way traffic, among which the Hooking
Valley made the most notable showing.
For the month of July the company's net
earnings increased over $50 per cent and
the gross returns of the line since the 1st
of July showed a gain of fully 80 per cent.
| Other satisfactory statements were made
by the Denver and Rio Grande Company,
| the Colorado Midland and Chicago and
/ Eastern Illinois and Atchison.
There was extremely wide fluctuations
/ in Consolidated Gas, the stock advancing
rapidly. The bettering prospects for the
settlement of the rate war was account
able for the advance in the stock.
