that the effect Of this blunder was
coun;eiacted by the naval u Founders
sent from the ships IN the nick Of time.
This cannot be denied nor can It be
questioned that the naval guns on i'm
provised carriages have transformed
the situation at Estcourt and on
Orange river.
A point which EnglIshmen not con-
nected with the rival services perceive
is that the resources Of the British gov
ernment for carrying on war at long
distance inland are enormously in
creased by the active cooperation OF
the army and navy as in the present
campaign. The bluejackets now on
exhibition at Ladysmith, Estcourt and
the Orange river are like the sepoys
displayed at Malta by Lord Beacons-
field as practical reminder to Russia
that there was more than one way OF
fighting a big campaign.

that any retirement was about due

NEW YORK. Nov. "A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The war for which Lord Salisbury

by a secret understanding with the
German emperor, has reached the
transition stage between Dutch at

OF I.adysmith. Mafeklng and Kimber-
ley and British offensive operations,
now opening ON 8 large scale.
There was a renewal yesterday Of
elastic rumors Of disastrous repulse
Of the Beers at Ladysmith on We'd
nesday but these have been depreciat-
ed in advance by definite news that
General Whites army remained mac
tive so late as Friday night. There
were vague reporta that Jouberts
force had raised the siege. gone south
and cut OF Estcourt from the sea but
these lacked confirmation.
The siege Of Ladysmith had evident
ly failed but the resources Of Boer craft
had not been exhausted and both
White and Clery needed to be on their
guard against being entrapped at the
last moment, when the union OF their
forces only required caution and pa
thence.
This was the undertone Of talk at
the war office and among the military
staff and hope was expressed that
White would remain quiet and Clery
would not allow himself TO be hurried.
While the fact OF the military situation
in lower Natal Is carefully concealed.
It is plain hat Clery will have in the
course Of a few days a force Of 1900
or 1900 troops, including the naval bri-
gade and the battalions which were
ON the ground before reinforcements
began to arrive at Durham.
These include three brigades Of the
First. Second and Third divisions and
the Second Somerset 'ignt infantry,
which left Cape Town yesterday.
Both Cl.ry and Hildyard have been
connected with the stan college and
are considered among the best tact-
clans Of the British army. They have
been great favorites with Lord Wolse-
ley and understand the minutest de-
tails of the military tactics and STRAIT

AMERICAN TRADE
RIGHTS In CHINA
AGREEMENT WITH ENGLAND
Written Assurances Kill Be Forwarded
to Secretary Hay on Conclusion
Of Period of Mourning for
Lady Salisbury.

NEW YORK. Nov. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says
In consequence OF the bereavement
suffered by Lord Salisbury the settle
ment Of several diplomatic matters
pending between ;he United States and
Great Britain is expected TO be de-
layed.
Among these are the Chinese and Sa-
moan questions. Great Brtain's attl-
tude with respect to the request Of
Secretary Hay for a written assurance
looking to the preservation OF Amer-
can commercial rights In her spheres
OF influence in China seems to have
been finally settled to the satisfaction
of the officials who have received oral
assurances Of the intentions Of the
LONDON government to reply favorably
to Ambassador Choate's note, but it
is not believed that the answer will b.
submitted until three weeks.
The several powers approached have
undoubtedly been exchanging notes
respecting the character OF the replies
and II Is stated by diplomatists here
that If one would take the lead the
others would quickly follow. For this
reason Great Britain's apparent hesita-
ton has caused considerable talk In
diplomatic circles.
It was reported this morning hat
China had conceded the claim II
France to the possession Of two islands
which command the entrance n
Kw1ng Chao Wan pay. Nc inforna-
ton to confirm this report has yet been
received at the state department but
officials say that II this report be true
/ it ls another indication Of the gradual
enccoachment Of the powers upon Chi
nesc territory.
In order that it may defend its com
nereial rights in China they say that
this government should have written
assurance from the powers occupying
territory that they will be respected.
Secretary Hay has made It plain TO
the powers that the United states las
no intention Of salzing Chinese terri
tory but he proposes to to insist that
American trade rights shall not be dis
tprF ed by the acquisition or extension

Saved by a Cool Head.

Sir Andrew Clarke. while travelling
in Italy, assembled u high tower one
evening and found at the top another
tourist, an Englishman. They chatted
pleasantly for few minutes, when sud-
denly the stranger seized Sir Andrew
by the shoulders and said quietly, II
am going to throw you over" The man
was a maniac. The physician had only
a moment in which to gather his
thoughts, but that moment saved him.
"Pooh," he replied unconcernedly,
"anybody can throw a man off the
towerl If we were on the ground, you
could not throw mo up. That would be
too difficult. - "Yes, could" retorted
the maniac. 1T could easily throw you
up here from the ground. Let us 60
down, and will do it," The descent
was accordingly made, during which

Power of Modern Guns.

A calculation of tho power of mod.
ern gun brings out the singular fact
that the active life of 100 ton gun is
Just one second. An Italian cannon of
this caliber, with charge of $50 pounds
Of powder and shot weighing about
2, 900 pounds, will give All initial veloc-
ity of 523 meters per second. The length
Of tho time during which the powder
acts is less than one hundredth Of sec.
ond, and after 100 shots tho cannon ia
put out Of service.
1t is estimated that during the active
period Of the work Of the powder in the
gun tho mean power is greater than
1000. 900 foot pound per hundredth
Of second-say s, 100000 foot
pounds per second. This represents a
power of $4,000, 900 kilowatts, or H.
