Washington, Nov. 2l.-The foreign COM
amerce of the United States seems likely
to make its highest record of the century
in the closing year of that period. The
October exports are larger than those of
any preceding October, the total for the
10 months ending with October is greater
than the total for the corresponding per-
iod in any preceding year. and it is APP
parent that for the first time in our his
tory the foreign commerce of the year
will exceed two billion dollars. For the
10 months ending with October, 1899, the
figures of the treasury bureau of statistics
show the total exports to be $l,029 242,-
OOO,while in the corresponding months Of
last they were 1887 ,879, 900.

FIERCE BATTLEAT LADYSM|TH
THE BRITISH LOSS WAS SMALL.
hattie Heaviest Yet Fought-Many
Beers Killed, More Taken Prison
ers-The Present Week viii See

London, Nov. 2l.--A special dispatch
from Estcourt says that report has reach
ed there of a battle at Ladysmith, last
ing from daybreak uptil o'clock in the
afternoon. Many Beers are said to have
been killed and many more are reported
| taken prisoners. British losses are report
ed to be much less.
Another battle is said to have occurred
later. 1t is described as the heaviest vet
fought. The Boer dead, it is added, num-
Der hundreds, while the British Ia. ses were
comparatively few.
The present week, according to the dis
patches from the front, ought to see a
change in the defensive tactics that have
hitherto been maintained by the British
In South Africa. 1t is said that the task
allotted to Gen. Cleary, that of relieving
l1adysmlth, will task his generalship 10
the utmost. The Beers are developing a
great deal of strength in the neighbor-
hood of Estcourt, and Gen Joubert is re-
ported to be moving southwark himself in
order to direct the movement to repel the
British advance after, it would seem, at
tempting to isolate Estcourt. This latter
movement is already in progress.
The Beers practically surround the
town. Another small force was discovered
at Willow Grange, south of Estcourt, yes
terday Sunday evening.
Major Thorneycroft, with a detachment
of infantry, made sortie and engaged
the Beers, but with no material result
The so-called Boer attempts to rush Est
court on Saturday were apparently merely
reconnaissance, resulting in the Boers
obtaining information which they desired,
namely, that Estcourt is fairly strongly
held and has naval guns in position.

SINCE WILLIE GOES TO SCHOOL.

Since Willie goes to school the days
Are always full of peace,
And in hundred little ways
The cares of life decrease;
The halls are Uttered up no more
With blocks and tops and traps;
No marbles lie upon the floor.
But are we happier than before?-
All, well, perhaps-perhaps!
Since Willie goes to school the cat
Lies doing in her nook
There are no startling screeches that
Make all the neighbOrs look.
His playthings are all piled away,
No books bestrew the floor,
But have found hair to-day,
Deep-rooted, ghstening and gray,
That hid itself before.
Since Willie goes to school hear
No pounding on the stairs,
Nor am | called to help my dear
Make horses of the chairs;
A sense of peace pervades the place,
And | may be a fool
To shed the tears that streak my face,
But boy is in my baby's place,
Since Willie goes to school.

matronS In the society world. Mrs.
keppel comes from one of the old ars-
tocratic families of England, being a
daughter Of Sir George Edmonstone,
who died n few years ago. The Cos
sips Of society say that the long suffer
Ing Princess of Wales has been driven
to desperation by the conduct of her
husband with Mrs. Keppel. Naturally,
society divides itself into two camps,
one for the prince and the other for
the princess. The first SAYS that the
prince is a much-abused man, declares
that his wife Is unreasonable, and
hints that she is eccentric" If not In
sane. The friends of the princess re-
tort that whatever might have been
the excuses for the conduct of the
prince in former years, they should not
apply now. In his young days dispo-
sition to SOW wild oats was perfectly
comprehensive, but those days are
long since passed, and the follies Of
youth cannot be cOndoned In the man
Of IS and the grandfather.
The situation Is delicate and a
mOmentous one. The great mass of
the British people sympathize deeply
with the princess, whose amiable ma
ture and upright and Christian charac-
ter has made her beloved of all classes
The Queen is deeply exercised over
the matter, and it is said she severely
censured her son for his conduct, with
out, however, producing any change in
his habits. Before the Princess of
Wales left England for Copenhagen
she spent three hours with the Queen
at Osborne, and there detailed her
grievances and the motives that i'm
PEELED her to the course she had decid-
ed upon. The prince naturally desired
to avoid formal separation knowing
well the storm of denunciation that
would shower upon him from every
quarter-a storm that might actually
prevent his ever ascending the throne
Hence every effort is being made to
prevent this, but it is undeniable that
the deepest uneasiness is felt in OFF,
cial circles over the outcome.
