General White Relates the Incidents OF
Mondays Battle.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The war off ,e to-
day made public dispatch from Gem
eral White, describing the operations
OF Monday. 1t is as follows:
We took out from Ladysmith brig
ade of mounted troops, two brigade
divisions of the royal artillery, the
Natal field battery, and a brigade Of
infantry to reconnoiter and force the
enemy's main position. In connection
with this an advance column consist
ing of the Teath mountain artillery,
four half companies of the Gloucesters
and six companies of the Royal Irish
fusileer, under Lieutenant Colonel
Carlton and Major Ayde. was dispatch
ed to march by night up the Bell
spruit, thus turning the enemy's right
flank.
Circumstances which attended the
movement Of Cartoons column are not
yet fully known. But from reports
received the column appears to have
carried out the night march unmolest-
ed. until within two miles of Nlchol-
sons Mex. At this point two boulders
rolled from the hill and few rifle shots
stampeded the infantry ammunition
mules. The stampede spread to the
battery mules, which ran away with
practically the whole of the gun equip
ment and the greater portion OF the
small arm ammunition. The reserve
was similarly lost. The infantry bat
TALON fixed bayonets, and accompanied
by the personnel of the artillery, seized
hill two miles from the Mex, with put
little opposition.
At dawn the skirmish attack on our
position was commenced by the enemy
Their fire became very searching and
two companies of Gloucesters were
ordered to fall back. The enemy then
pressed to short range, the losses on
our side became very numerous. At 3
p. m. our ammunition was practically
exhausted. The position was captured
and the survivors of the column fell
into the enemy's hands. The want of
success was due to the stampede Of the
mules, and the consequence loss Of guns
aud the small arm ammunition reserve.
The security of Ladysmith is in no way
affected.

A TRUST on TALK.

An Attempt to Combine all the Inde-
pendent Telephone Lines.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-The North
American says: One of the greatest
financial combinations of the century
is in process of formation. The organ
izers of the Continental Telegraph,
Telephone & Cable Company, recently
organized in New Jersey, have OBJ
tanned control of all the independent
telephone companies In the United
States and aim to combine these with
the great telegraph companies and the
five Atlantic cable companies. The
office of the new concern is in the
American Surety Compsny's building,
New York city.
From various sources information
reached the North American that the
capitalists interested in the venture
include J. P. Morgan, George ].
Gould, John Jacob Astor, William G.
Whitney, P. A. 8. Widener and Will
liam L. Elkins. VeriHcation of the
story was obtained tonight from Mr..
Widener at his home IL Ogontz. he
talked freely of the colossal scheme,
which, he says, will bring about
sweeping reduction in the cost of the
transmission of electrical messages all
over the country. Among other things
he said:
"The plan has been under consider
alton for some time. Mr.. Martin Ma
10y, who was the active agent in the
enterprise, and may be said to have
engineered it, has been in New York
for about year. His efforts culmin-
ated when he succeeded in interesting
several big financiers in New York.
Among the number was John Jacob
Astor. He is now one of the promi-
nent movers in the concern. J. Pier
pont Morgan, whose name has been
in connection with the con-
is not connected in any
way with it."

New Soldiers Organization.

The organization OF the soldiers of

ural and proper result OF tendency of
the times. We are people Of '.jiners,"
and there is quite sufficient grounds
for the new organization and i5 de-
serves to succeed, provided always, that
it sedulously refrains from going into
politics. The proposition to coalesce
with the G. A. r. was wisely rejected
by that organization of veterans. Each
organization can be of benefit to its
members in les own way. and while
working on similar lines and in SYM
pathy with each other, a combination
would be such a mixture of age and
youth as to lead to friction if not
rupture.
