BRITISH DEFEATTHE Beers

Halt Transvnal Forces Mt Tnlana Hill
Losses Very Heavy.
A dispatch from Glencoe Camp dated
October 20, at $50 p. m, says: After
eight hours of continuous heavy fight
ing Talana hill was carried by the
Dublin fusilecrs and the kings rifles
under cover of a well-scrved artillery
fire by the Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth
batteries. The Beers who have threat.
ened the British rear have retired.
The fight vas almost an exact coun-
tcrpart of that of Majuba Hill, except
that the positions of the Bocr and Brit.
ish forces were reversed.
General Summons was severely, but
not dangerously wounded.
The battle was Il brilliant success
The Beers got a reverse which may
possibly. fora time, at any rate, check
all aggressive action.
The British artillery practice in the
early part of the day decided the bat
tie. The seizure of Dundee hill by the
Beers was a surprise. for although the
pickcts had been exchanging shots all
night. it was not until Il shell doomed
over the town into the camp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fast. The hill was posi-
lively alive with the swarming Beers,
still the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy and precision.
The batteries from the camp took up
positions to the south of the town. and
after a quarter hours magnificent firing
silcnccd the guns on the hills.

Amicable Adjustment of Alaskan Bound-
ary DiSnute.

airy Dispute.
Mr.. Tower, the British charge at
Washington, called ut the state de-
partment and handed to Secretary Hay
a note formally accepting for his gov.
eminent the proposition for the tenn
porary adjustment of the Alaskan
boundary line proposed by Secretary
Hay. The division line on the west
pass, by which the Dalton trail is
reached, is placed twenty-five and one
quarter miles above Pyramid harbor,
which is regarded under the treaty as
tidewatcr mark. SO the Canadians are
not allowed to reach any point on the
Lynn canal. Moreover, there is no
permission for Il free port or even for
the free transfer across American ter
ritory of Canadian goods except of
miners belongings. The modus vivcn-
di follows the precedent established by
Secretary Evartsi in 1878 in agreeing on
a temporary boundary on the Stikeen
river in Alaska by an exchange OF
notes.

Ono of tho Important Functions Of
High-Class Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases OF
scientific and economic problems,
high-class newspapers frequently give
information Of as great value in their
advertising columns as in those de-
voted to the publication OF the prin-
cipal events Of the day; and when
the fame Of a product is extended be-
yond its natural limits into foreign
lands, n a largo demand created
throughout Great Britain and her col
onies and the principal seaports and
cities Of Europe, Asia II Africa, it
becomes a pleasant duty to note the
fact n to tell Of the points OF ex-
cellence on which so great a success Is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup Of Figs,
the product of the California Fig
Syrup Company. The merits Of this
~well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through
the medical journals and newspapers
OF the United States; and is one of the
distinct achievements of the press. 1t
is now we'll known that Syrup Of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and
effective, yet pleasant to tho taste Il
acceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but
also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t is frequently referred
to as the remedy of the healthy. be-
cause it is used by people who enjoy
good health and who 1.-Two we'll and feel
we'll and are we'll informed on all sub
jects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it
is necessary to get the genuine Syrup
of Figs, which is manufactured by the
California Fig syrup Co. only.
