I'm Mondays Engagement.
London, Oct. 31.-Yesterday's engage
ment at Ladysmith, which, despite the
rather heavy losses, must be regarded
rather as an extended reconnaissance or
skirmish than battle, seems to make
little change in the actual position.
1t is disappointing to the British public

Several dispatches describing the en-

Whites official account that the Beers

II is considered that the censorship was
very severe, the only conclusion that

can be arrived at is that the action was
lextremely inconclusive.
1t is quite certain that Gen. White
failed to accomplish the object he in

Instructive example Of the difficulty of
operations when the enemy holds an
extended position from which he is able
to make sudden and unexpected devel-
opments and changes of front.
Sir Redvers Butler cannot arrive at
the scene of fighting until the end Of
this week. In the meantime Gen. White
will need all his resources to prevent
the Beers around Ladysmith from link

An English woman who has been
travelling in Russia seems to have found
it easier to get in than to get out of
the cars country. She sent her pass
port to the authorities before starting
il order to have it vised and then
blithely made for the frontier.
Arriving there. she was Immediately
detained and taken before the powers
that not only be, but also do, at the
Russian frontier. Here she was in
formed that her passport did not per-
nit her to leave the country and that
she would be obliged to make herself
comfortable while the police found out
all she had done while in the country.
At first she was rather pleased at
the thought of how she would tell her
friends about it when she got home.
But when she found that she had TO
pay not only for her room. her meals,
service and all that sort of thing. but
also for long kilograms which the au-
thOrities were exchanging in regard to
her cese. her pleasure dwindled as rap
idly as her funds did.
She finally got off. however. but
without receiving any apology or any
reimbursement.-N York Sun.

Before battle in former times the
priests solemnly devoted to the gods
the whole of the hostile army then in
sight, and. if possible, no man of it
was left alive. A writer in The Nine
teenth Century says that when Her.
mann decoyed the great host of Varus
into the forest depths all the Romans
that escaped death in the battle were
captured and led into the dark recess
es, where every man of them was sac
rificed upon hastily erected affairs.
Latham, in his edition of Tacitus,
quotes six contemporary authorities to
show that this practice of concluding
a victory with human sacrifices was
customary among our Teutonic ances-
tors. Some crucified their prisoners,
others hung them up to trees for arch
cry practice, but in general captive
was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods.
Even when the progress of agriculture
induced them to keep a majority of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the tOrtures inflicted on
the small remainder.
