IN HONOR OF Upton.
An Informal Luncheon Given by the
Transportation Club.

Transportation Club.
New York. Oct. 24.-An informal
luncheon in honor of Sir Thomas Lip
ton. owner of the Shamrock, was given
to-day in the rooms of the Transporter
ton club in the Manhattan hotel. A
transportation officers were present.
Senator Depew. president Of the club,
received the guest. The senator in an
address. said:
mo man has contributed SO much to
the speed Of England and so much to
exhilarate this country as Sir Thomas.
He wanted that cup. We stopped twist
ing the lions tail a year ago and this
year we had to stick pins in the eagle.
The result has been satisfactory to the
eagle.
TT is the sporting spirit in it's best
sense that carried England's flag and
the spirit of England over the world,
and it is the sporting spirit in it's best
sense that carries our flag to the other
side of the world. The same feeling
that stirred US when we received the
news of the battle of San Juan stirred
us three or four days ago when we re-
ceived news of the fighting in the
Transvaal."
In reply, Sir Thomas said he was
deeply moved by the sincere greeting
extended him.
nave Dseil asked, SAID Sir InOmaS,
'if I would challenge again. Unfor-
tunately Mr.. Fife, the designer of the
Shamrock. has been sick and we have
not had the benefit of his advice
through the whole series of races. After
the last race he was too i'll to be told
although 1 suppose he knows now.
NOW, gentlemen, l am prepared to
make another challenge when Mr.. Fife
regains his health and l can discuss the
matter with him."

every day demeanor and literally took
them in their arms and hugged them.
Seldom IL ever, has SO large or en-
thusiastic a crowd been seen in Boze-

and the greater part of the valley had
turned out to greet the heroes of the
Philippines.
AS soon as any degree of order could
be obtained the veterans We're march,
ed up town, headed by Colonel Van
Tassell, the members of the G. A. r.

could not be kept out. On arriving at
the armory hall the returned volunteers
and their relatives and friends, veter-
ans of the civil war and others to the
number of about $50, sat down to a
repast such as only the ladies of the
w. c. T. U. and Gallatn ladies can
prepare.

crowded to the doors. The programme
consisted Of instrumental and vocal
music prayers Of thanksgiving, short
but appropriate addresses of welcome
by Mayor Award and President Reid.

from Kuruman, British Bechuanaland,
the resident magistrate there has re-
Gently presided at a council of the ma
tive chiefs. He advises them not to
participate in the war. The natives

A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Octo-
ber 20. indicates that the Rhodesians
under Colonel Plumer at Fort Tuli, on
the Transvaal border are taking the
offensive They have attacked train
on Rhodesia, but apparently not much
damage was done on either side. The
Beers say they lost three horses.
Lieutenant Barnes, who was wound
ed at the battle of Elandslaagte, is a
brother of Violet Van Brugs, the we'll
known actress.
Germany has sent to follow the Brit
ish forces in South Africa her military
attache in London, Captain Baron Won
Luttwitz, who married Miss Mamie
Cary of Cleveland, Ohio.
The British military authorities hope
to have the wireless telegraphy operat-
ing in South Africa within six weeks,
when it is hoped the difficulties ex-
pefienced from the cutting of wires
will be obviated, as it will only be
necessary to establish communication
with a point where the ordinary wires
are intact

GOVERNOR FELL
INTO THE TRAP
Steunenberg's Letter Is Used as Cam
paign Material by the Repub-
licans of Ohio.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Washington. Oct. 24-The republican
national committee is using Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho, who is now here,
as a campaign card in Ohio The state
is being circulariZed with copies of let
ters written by the governor to Sec
retary Root in which the former prac-
tically relieves the federal authorities
of all responsibility for the conduct of
General Merriam and the troops I'M
the Coeur d'Alene district. A very
large republican vote in the mining re-
gions of Ohio was reported as much
disaffeeted against the republican tick
ct by reason of sympathy with the
Northern Idaho miners. The Steunen-
berg letter came in very opportunely
for the republicans. and is being used
extensively. The letter appears in full
in Eastern papers to-day and has at
tracted much attention from public
men.
Some politicians say that Governor
Steunenberg's letter was drawn up by
w. Z. Borah, a former silver republic
can of Idaho, and that the governor
has been led into a serious political
mistake.
Men prominent in labor circles are
particularly indignant at the charges
made by Steunenberg against ]. r..
Sovereign On behalf of Governor
Steunenberg it is stated that his only
desire was to give the federal authori-
ties assurances such as would secure
the retention of the troops and that he
was. of course, innocent that there
would be any political use made of his,
letter.
Senator Heitfeld of Idaho said to-
night:
Il fail to see how the governor can
assume the responsibility of relieving
General Merriam of the charges against
him by leading representatives Of the
miners union such as the Endorsement
of the proclamation issued by Acting
Governor Sinclair denying to union
men the right of securing work in the
district unless they repudiated all al.
legiance TO the miners union and obi
gated themselves never to join such
unions in the future. Does he mean
also to stand responsible for the invol-
untary 6ervitude imposed without war
rant of law upon Thomas Heeney and
others by Captain Edwards? The fed
eral authorities must be responsible
for this outrage, and cannot be re-
lieved of it even if Idaho's governor
is willing to saddle it."

Americas DUTY.

New York, Oct. PA special to the

r. Breckinridge. United States minister
to Russia during the second Cleveland
administration, in an interview, states
that in case any nation or combination
of nations should attempt to embarrass
England in the present war in South

our whole moral and material strength
He said:
Great Britain's action in South Af-

that France and Russia will not permit
the annexation of the Transvaal and

1T is FEARED
That Generals White and Yule Are in n
Tight Place,


London, Oct. 25.-The war office dis
patch seems to realize the worst fears
General Yule has abandoned not only
Dundee, but Glencoe also, and so far
as present news would indicate. he has
neither Joined General White nor reach
ed Ladysmth. General Whites suc-
cessful action announced in parliament
by Mr.. Wyndham seems to resolve IL
self into mere engaging of the Free
State troops, while General YuIe is slim
ping southwark.
1t is evident from the official disratch
that both Commandant General Jou-
bert's column on the north and the Or
ange Free State troops on the west now
occupy strong positions and that moth
ing hinders the Beers from following
up General Yule's retirement and get
ting around Ladysmith from the south
west. Until reinforcements arrive it
seems that General White is obliged
to concentrate on Ladysmith.
1t is believed that the government
has other dispatches that have not yet
been published. The secretary Of war
left Mr.. Choate's residence immedia tely
after the banquet to General Harrison
and proceeded to the war office where,
even after midnight, there was consld-
cradle activity

toned him regarding the feeling of the
different Basuro chiefs, principally the
paramount chief. Lorothodi, and in or
der to draw out the commandant, the
native replied that the natives sided
with the Beers.
"Thereupon the commandant said
that the two republics wished to kill
the Britishers and make over and gov
ern the Basutos, restoring to the latter
that part of the country which the
Free State formerly took from them.
AS to the Britishers, those whom they
failed to kill they would drive into the
sea.
THE Beers on the Basutoland from
tier, according to the best information
obtanable, number about 2,50o."

Rome, Oct. 24.--The following is the full
text of the official instructions from Car
dinal Ledochowski to the bishop of Belle
VILE Ill.,, bearing on the recent contro-

deserve it, Get Father Cruze to resign
and appoint pastor of their own nation,

United States will be that bishops must
appoint pastors according to the national
ity of congregations.

In Basutoland.
London. Oct. 24.--The colonial office
this evening published a dispatch re-
ceived from the British high commits
sioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Mil
ner, communicating a significant dis
patch from Sir Godfrey Laigden, the
British resident commissioner in Ba-
sutoland, calling attention to the reck-
lessness of the Basutos, whom he says
he has been trying to calm. The resi-
dent commissioner adds:
Our policy, however, has been made
difficult by the clustering of the Beers,
who have freely threatened to attack
Masuru and other stations These
threats, combined with Intriguing, have
contributed to arouse excitement
among the natives. I wish to place
IL on record that the Beers have un-
wisely attempted to shake the alleg-
lance OF the Basutos and Illustrate our
eHorts to ward tranquility. The Beers
there are responsible for any commo-
ton and for the alarm regarding ma
i've lnVaslons which now prevails"
