Of course the first dispatches in re- gard to the battle of Gras Pan claimed . great victory for the British, but a dispatch dated London Nov. 28 says: "The losses of the naval brigade in the battle of Gras Pan were enormous. Out of 500 seamen and marines l05 fell, be- ing moro than 20 per cent" These British victories remind us of Artemus Wards description of his fight with a man when in the show business.

Editor Rodemeyer's testing remarks about the danger from deer in Litch. field county reminds one of the NEWS staff that he is acquainted with Geor gia newspaper man who criticised Mrs Stowe's "Uncle Toms Cabin" and said that it was not true picture of the South ''befo de wah" in that it men, tions the incarceration of a slave in a cellar at New Orleans, when at that time there were no cellars at all in New Orleans. And the same Georgia news paper man got to talking to our repre- sentative about deer and in all serious ness said: i've heard that the law re- stricting the killing of deer in Litch- field county. your state, to only Tues days and Fridays has caused them to become 90 numerous in the foreste along the Housatonic river that they forage out among the crops and have become 8 nuisance to the fsrmers." Our repre-. sentative strengthened out this tsngle of fish laws, woodchuck depredations and Adirondack wildwood, and oul Georgia acquaintance would now enjoy Rodemeyer's stories of the railway train which passed deer without being at. tackled.

NORFOLK STIRRED.
Waking Up to the Fact That She Is
Not the Only PCDble.

NORFOLK, VA, Nov. H.-Special.-
There is much talk in Norfolk about the
strides Richmond has made Of late and
some here are disturbed over the progress
made by the capital I'm certain directions.
II IL pointed out that in the ship building
field in which Norfolk by reason Of its
location might naturally be expected 10
attain and hold supremacy, Richmond has
OF late made a distinct advance, while
Norfolk has done nothing material. The
report that two Of the new batch Of
cruisers may be built at Richmond by
the Trgg Company while only repair
work of small moment is going on at the
Norfolk Navy Yard has stirred Norfolk
up a trihe and some Jealousy has been
aroused The local papers reflect this i'm
editorials commencing the Young Mems
Business Association OF Richmond for
the effective work they have done. and
evidently trying TO stir up Norfolk 10 the
point OF emulatng them.
The fact becoming apparent that Rich
mond is grown 10 be the centre OF large
railroad enterprise and that several Of the
great systems are entrenching themselves
there in a manner which appears to in
dictate their purpose Of remaining there
permanently. while at Norfolk not so
much as a substantial depot building has
yet been erected by any OF the roauS en-
tering here. has also aroused some con-
Germ.
Uneasiness. too, IS felt at Portsmouth,
since the VILLAINS syndicate acquired
control Of the S.eaboard Air Line. and the
Portsmouth people fear that the general
offices and shops Of the system. 50 long
located there, are likely TO be at any mo-
ment removed 20 Richmond. The con-
viction appears to be slowly dawning on
some here that Richmond and Newport
News are up and doing, while Norfolk is
sitting down and being done in the two
especial lines in which 1t was believed
TO be without a competitor. and in a posi-
ton where 10 competitor could reason
ably hope to become formidable.
The shaking up now going on will per-
haps stir Norfolk UP TO do something.
1t bids fair TO- at all events, create
rivalry between Norfolk and Richmond
which has heretofore been dormant II ex-
