A TERRIFIC BATTLE.
British Troops Defeat the Docr
Forces In Ten Hours Fight
at M0dler River.

London, Nov. 3O.-Gen. Methuen
has defeated the whole Boer force at
Modder river. In his dispatch to the
queen after the battle Gen. Methuen
says:
"The battle was the bloodiest Of the
! century. The British shelled the enemy
| out of the trenches and then charged. The
| result was terrible"
patch from Gen. Butler saying that
the battle lasted ten hours and was
desperate all the time. The success
clears another stage of the road to
Kimberley, the siege of which Gen.
Cronje must have partially raised in
order to give battle to Gen. Methuen.
There is little reason to doubt, how
ever, that the Beers will again rally,
as heretofore.
New York, Dec. IA dispatch to the
World from London says: The casualty
list of the Modder river fight is awaited
with the keenest anxiety. A rumor is
current that the English losses, includ-
ing both the killed and wounded, prob
| ably were 500.
London, Dec. lit is officially an
nounced that Gen. Methuen was among
those wounded at the battle of Modder
| river.
London, Dec. 2-Absence of war
news causes uneasiness here. A Bcr-
lin dispatch says that Lord: Methuen
is unable to cross the Modder river and
that his retreat is cut off by Command
ant Delarraye, who is operating near
Kaffirs' Kop.

MAKES HIS REPORT.
Comptroller Dawes Tells of Banks,
Banking Laws and De.
pOsits.

Washington. Nov. %. - Comptroller
Dawes annual report for the year ended
October 81, 1899, has been prepared for
transmission to congress. With respect to
the condition Of national banks during
the year. as shown by the five reports re-
quired from the banks, the comptroller
says:
THE number Of banks in operation on
September z, 1899, was 1886, with paid-in
capital Of sG05,77 $40. The individual de-
posits on that date amounted to $780,
725. 595.31, and the aggregate resources to
$4,65O, 1855. 1894. A comparison Of the Sep
TENDER returns with those made on Sep
TENDER 20, 1898, indicates an increase dur
ing the year in individual deposits of $419.-
N1O55.02; in loans and discounts of $780,
7S9, 62320; In amounts due from other banks
and bankers. $16o. 1881. S96.6S; in specie. 49,
6S7,225.44, and in aggregate resources, $646,
S44, 0SS57. On September the net deposit
liabilities Of the national banks Of the
country aggregated 5000, 463, DISCS, on
which reserve of $3.50, 56S, $3.50, or %. 3S per
cent. was held. The composition Of this
reserve was as follows: Specie, s33S. 571,-
sSs. 30: legal tenders and United States Ger ea
tihcates of deposit for legal tenders, $127,-
74.651; due from reserve agents, $414.126,-
660.44; redemption fund with the treasurer
Of the United States. s1O.116. 1868"
Among other recommendations, the comp
troller strongly urges laws authorizing the
incorporation or banks Tor the purpose OF
carrying on international and intercolonial
banking as distinguished from domestic
banking. He. also recommends laws au-
thorizing the establishment in small COM
munities of national banks with capital
Of $4,000. He repeats his recommendation
of one year ago relative to a modification
OF the law restricting loans to any one
individual to ten per cent. Of the capital
of national bank, and advises the at
taching of a penalty for making excessive
loans after the present section is modi-
fed.

THE PENSION LAWS.
Secretary Hitehesck Makes some
Observation-Disclosures Ex.
tracts from His Report.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE annual report
OF Secretary OF the Interior Hitchcock.
while summing up the work In all the bu-
reaus. Is Of special interest by reason OF
ITS statements regarding pension policies.
AZ the close Of the fiscal year there were
SSl.5l9 pensioners. a decrease Of 2.1S5 dur
ing the year. The average annual value
or all pensions was $l32N. The Spanish
war probably will increase the pension roll
during the current fiscal year.
Secretary Hitchcock urges legislation to
oennitely construe the act OF June q. 1880
relating to widows pensions. Regarding
this he says: I'm order to more exactly de-
nne the words means Of support approve
the recommendation Of the commissioners
OF pensions that the act Of June q, 1880, be
80 amended that a pensionable status be
granted to widows whose income. inde-
pendent Of the proceeds OF their daily labor.
Is not in excess Of $3.50 per annum." The
report also recommends legislative author
lily Tor biennial examinations Of pension
ers; legislation prohibiting the payment Of
any compensation whatever to pension at
torneys and agents for any service in con-
nection with any claim or proceeding un-
DER the pension laws, except such as may
within certain limits fixed by congress be
allowed by the commissioner of pensions
and paid from the pension money as now
provided with respect to claims for pen
sion." and for the delivery free Of any
part paid letter or packet addressed to pen
sion agencies.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899,
the public lands disposed Of aggregated
9.182,n3.16 acres
The total cash receipts during the year
amounted to 5000, 1874, an increase of
$792, 142.16.
The total area Of public lands is approx
mately fixed at 1852, ,221 acres, of which
929 .3OS,068 acres are undisposed Of and 1852,
3S0.153 acres have been reserved for va
rious purposes.
Excluding $3.50 Indians in New York and
$3.50 embraced in the five civilized tribes.
the Indians number approximately 181,5S6.
as against 180. 1872 reported last year.
That railroad traffic has increased won
derfully in the last two years is shown by
the report. The increase in the net earn
ings for 1898 over 1887 was $23, 600 900 and in
1899 the increase was s., 0O0,O 900, being limited
only by the Lack Of cars to carry products.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, has an electric
tramway, the power for which is de.
rived from a hydraulic plant operated
by two horizontal turbines, directly
connected to two three-phase alterna-
tors OF $50 horsepower each, general.
ing current at $50 volts. This pres.
sure, by means of transformers, il
stepped up to $4,000 volts and the cur
rent thus transmitted to substation
81 miles distant. Here it is transform.
ed down to $50 volts and converted in.
to continuous current by two syn.
erroneous converters.

ERNEST BAUER, an extensive poultry
raiser of Cofeyville, Kan, having read
in an agricultural journal that boracic
acid would preserve chicken meat al.
most indefinitely, assumed that the
chemical should be mixed with the
feed of the fowls and given to them to
eat He tried the experiment, with
the result that 76s of his 800 chickens
died within "a hours. He sued the ed.
ator OF the paper, but the court held
that any man of ordinary intelligence
should have known better than to try
to preserve the flesh of living fowls by
means Of chemicals.

THERE is at present under construc-
ton an electric machine which will be
used on the elevated stations for SELL
ing tickets. The machine referred to
is to be constructed in such way that
when you drop your nickel in the slot
you will receive ticket in exchange.
There will be four of these on each of
the larger stations. The reason why
this system has been adopted by the
railroad trustees is to do away with
the expense of having an agent on
each station.
