ALARM IN LONDON.
Gen. Joubert's movement to cut off
Gen. White at Ladysmith from Colenso
Is being carried out, and 1t Is probable
that Pietermaritzburg, the capital of
Natal, Will fall into Gen. Joubert's hands
before Gen. Butler and achievements
can arrive.
The South African situation is again
causing the deepest alarm. The silence
of the war office, which received today
several dispatches from Cape Town and
Durham, the holding back of the list of
the casualties at Ladysmith, and, finally
the announcement of the mobilization of
the second army corps on the 10th of
this month, all combine 20 show that the
position of British power In South At
RIGA is one of gravest peril.

AT THE THEATERs.
METROPOLITAN.


The NELL company pleased good-sized
audience at the Metropolitan last night
with a splendid performance of the four
act comedy Captain Lettarblair." The
play Is one of the best examples of mod
ern comedy, and tells a story of suffi-
GENTLY strong dramatic interest to war
rant the appellation of comedy drama.
The action OF the piece is brisk and lively,
the dialogue exceptionally bright and
witty and the entire performance full of
interest and enjoyment from start to
finish
The prize of $40 for the best verse sub
mitted for the kissing Song in 1.-The
Jolly Musketeer," the comic opera In
which the Jefferson de Angels Opera
company appears at the METROPOLITAN
tomorrow night, has been awarded to
William F. Kirk, 1889 University avenue
east. as follows:
Then at the shrine of Hobson
Well worship day and night;
Well not forsake a pleasure
That affords so much delight.
When Mr. Kruger. years ago,
Kissed Gretchen in the hall,
She did not fly into rage
She simply said: "O-o-m Paul"
The contest aroused an extraordinary
amount of interest and called forth 639
replies
About half of them had to be thrown
out at first glance, because they We're
not in the right metre. Then those re-
naming were assorted in their order as
to ingenuity of idea and style. There
were many clever verses at the home
stretch but the awarded one contained
the freshest topic and was told with
especial cleverness. There were at least
half a dozen on current topics, all ex-
cellently told and perhaps they will be
sung in the opera tomorrow night.

Two weeks agpsor- so the contest between

the result OF the contest between Downey

he. and Williams met. however, the
stranger was no match for the local col

punches in the first round and almost
lost the fight. But a good long rest gave
him another chance. In the second

ended the contest in a way that was
most unsatisfactory to the large audience
present. They. however. got some salts

CONCESSION TO BRITISH.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-Permission
has been given to representatives of the
British government to compress in New
York and Boston a large shipment Of
Canadian hay, destined for the use Of the
British army in South Africa. 1t was
represented to the United States govern
ment that at present there are no suita-
bic presses in the Dominion that are
available, and, as 1t was important that
these shipments should leave these ports
not later than the 18th of the present
month, this government was appealed to
to make the concession. This was done
as an act of courtesy to Great Britain
and Is not to be regarded as preferment.
The British agents say they expect to
have modern compressoTs ready for use

Senator SDOOneF Defines His Posi-
ton on Philippine Question.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 3-United
States Senator Spooner said tonight:
There has been talk of my opposition
to the administration, and principally. as
regards the Philippine question. It is all
bosh. l shall stand by Mckinley and the
national administration through thick and
thin. l shall consent to nothing other
than the vigorous prosecution of the war
against the insurgents until order Is re-
stored, the instruction quelled and the
flag honored and respected as 1t is at
home. We must keep the Philippines.
Then, too. congress must decide what
must eventually be done with the islands.
That is an after consideration. Put down
the rebellion and establish the authority
of the United States supreme. That
is the first consideration. There has been
too much talk about what we are to do
with the Philippines. First, crush the
last spark of rebellion. That is where l
stand on the colonial policy"

only so that we ascertain by word Of
mouth upon what basis they will accept
peace. This would be no more than fair
and just. 1t could have been done
months ago. 1t should now be brought
about as speedily as possible. The Philip
pine commissioners should have recon-
mended such a course.

BY WRIT OF MANDAMUS.

That Seems to BE the Method of
Bringing Things ia aa Issue.
There have been two or three ways sug-
gested In which the fight between the city
council or comptroller and the school
board could be. brought into the courts.
One would be~the seeking of writ Of
mand&mus by the city attorney to COM
pei the school board to submit pay roll
In accordance with the provisions of the
charter, as interpreted by the comptroller,
or to seek a writ OF mandamus to compel
the city comptroller to sign the roll as
submitted by the board of school in
speCtors.
City Comptroller McCardy has suggest
ed the possibiityof this.as we'll as the pos
sibility of seeking sthe arrest of some or
