IN THE EARLY DAYS
In the early days OF New-York business the
wholesale concerns had their own wagons with
which their goods were brought TO them and de-
livered TO The fOrWarder or TO the purchaser
But even then there was always room for extra
carts. and men from Westminster County and
Staten Island brought queer-looking carts to
the business district for the purpose OF catch.
ing an occasional job These early carts had
two wheels, were drawn by one horse. and
would hold about five or six cases or barrels.
For keeping the sidewalks clean or for some
similar service the cartman usually had the
privilege Of allowing his one-horse cart to stand
In front Of the store Of his best patron. and
there the cart would stand every night except
election night and the night Of the Fourth
Of July when the owner would take II away,
lest il be converted into bonfire material by the
patriotic juvenile population. The horse was
usually housed in a stable near by

By this time the truck business had become
well established. Every large concern had its

had four or five concerns FOR which they did

NEW JERSEY TRUSTS"
Investigation by Industrial Commission
Large Corporations May ReincorHorate 1

Investigation by Industrial Commission
Large Corporations May Reincornorate in
delaware.
The Industrial Commission which
has during the last few months, been
inquiring into the methods of the large
so-called trusts, and is at present hold
ing daily sessions in Washington,
turned its attention on Wednesday last
to New Jersey corporations. 1t is a
we'll known fact that New Jersey is the
home of o majority of the large in
dustrial combines. The investigation
of the laws of that State, with the
extent to which these combines obey
the statutory requirements, has brought
out some interesting information.
One provision of the laws of New
Jersey requires all companies chartered
in that State. to keep in the principal
office in the State, their original stock
and transfer books.
The Industrial Commission has lately
employed Secret Service men to visit
the principal offices of these col pora-
tions and find out to what extent this
provision of the statute is complied
with. 1t was discovered that in a very
large number OF cases the law had been
entirely disregarded. The delinquent
companies have been making great
efforts during the last week to comply
with the statute by rushing their stock
books into the State.
Delaware will probably be the gainer
from this investigation, as there is a
marked tendency en- the part of some
of these New Jersey corporations to
surrender their charters and re-
incorporate in Delaware, the law here
requiring only the duplicate stock and
transfer books to be kept in the prin-
cipal Office in this State.
We're some of these large combines to
take out Delaware charters, they would
prove greaU source of revenue to the
commonwealth. The annual franchise
tax in this State is very low, but from
such an aggregation Of capital as these
combines represent, the taxation would
net Delaware several thousand dollars
annually.

ploros the loss of SO many valuable


lives. -
A special dispatch from Cape Town,
dated yesterday, says that advices re-
ceived there from Pretoria report Presi-
dent Kruger as now being in favor CT
an unconditional surrender. 1t is added
that it is expected,the Executive Coun-
Gil will meet today or tomorrow to dis
cuss the advisability of such step.
The report, it is stated here, must be
accepted with reserve.
The best opinions do not credit the
reports that the Boers are suing for
peace, or that they are liekly to yield
at present, Though it is thought the
Beers will probably retreat to their
line of defence, in the mountain passes
at Laing's Mex and Drakenburg, where
they have blocked the passes with
great boulders, and masses cf rock
blown up on either side.
DESIGNS OF FOREIGN POWERS.
The sensational rumors of the de-
signs of foreign Powers inimical to
British interests meet with scant cre-
denoe, though it is admitted it is diff
cult to explain the immense forces on
land and sea which Great Britain is
now mobilizing.
Lady Randolph Churchill and Mrs.
Arthur Paget are organizing a fund
among American ladies in England,
with the intention to completely equip
a hospitalshir, for service on the South
African coast, at cost of Ii, 900.
Lady Curzon and Mrs. Bradley Martin
have been invited to join the com
mittee.
The authorities in Australia al Q much
exercised at the reports that the i'm
porial government has ordered canned
meat in America, although the War
Office had promised to conserve Aus
tralanian interests. Those in the best
position to know predict that the
packers of the United States will secure
large orders, as the British colonies
are unable to supply a tithe OF tho
quantity required, if the campaign con-
tinues long.
What is believed to have been an at
tempt to wreck military trains bound
from Pembroke dock to Southampton
was discovered last evening. Five
chains were placed on the tracks at
points near Swansea Two trains laden
with South African troops passed soon
after their discovery.
THE SITUATION in NATAL TODAY.
The Parliamentary Secreatry of tho
War Office, George Wyndham,. made a
statement in the House of Commons
today, saying: Lord Wolseley summed
up the situation in Natal, early this
morning, as follows: In the battle of
Elandslaagte, October 2lst, two guns
were captured from the Beers, who
lost heavily. A large column of the
enemy, this morning, appeared ad-
yancing from the north and west on
Gen. Yule, who, consequently, fell back
from Dundee, and concentrated at
Glencoe junction. In the operation,
he gathered in the wounded and medi-
cal attendants left at Dundee. Gen.
White is in position at I.adysmith, and
is being reinforced iiom Pietermaritz-
burg. The enemy appears to be in
large numerical super iciity. !"

WHAT THE DISPATCHES TELL.
The reported Boer attack on the
British position at Glencoe was con-
firmed carry today, and thanks to the
promptitudc of the War Office (whose
messages naturally take precedencel in
publishing the official dispatches from
Sir George Stewart White, the public
has been enabled to follow the contest
and to discriminate between the
actualities and the unreliable rumors
that have flooded the papers.
Ii appears that during the night the
Boer artillery occupieda u hill command
ing the British oampaign and began
dropping shells at daybreak in the
direction of the British forces.
The latter, under Gen. Sir William
Penn Symons, promptly accepted the
challenge and moved to meet the in
vaders, under cover of the British artil-
lery which appears to have worked
with such advantage as to quickly
silence the enemy's batteries, enabling
the infantry to carry the Boer position
with a rush, in which the Dublin
Fusiliers and the Kings Royal Rifles

Glencoe, Natal, Oct. IS, night-tDe-
layed in transmission A report
reached the camp today that the Beers
had been sighted seven miles out. A
squadron of the Eighteenth Hussars,
under command of Major Laming,
rode out, and the advanced officers
patro., under Lieut.. Cupc, TN reaching
the brow { I hill beyond HattingSIruit
station, discovered strong advance
party of the Beers. Tho Hussars ra-
tired on the main Lody, which, in the
meantime, had been well handled by
going under cover and made ready to
open fire had the Beers continued their
advance.
The willy enemy were not TO be drawn
on. In fact, having met men who
we're their equals, if not their superiors,
in swift, tactical, movements, after
delivering their fire they hesitated,
apparently staggered at their poor sue
cess with the rife, and perceiyiEg that
the hussars had mannurred out of
range, turned quickly and retired.
Tho failing light alone prevented tho
hussars from following up their ad-
vantage; and the enemy failing to
make a further advance, the hussars
returned to camp.

first guns of the enemy taken in the
present campaign. Fortunately for the
British, they are apparently strong
enough to. Withstand Boer force
nearly double their own, as in view of
the fact that the railway was cut yes
terday at Elandslaagt, evidently in
anticipation Of today's attack, it
would have been impossible to send re-
inforcement quickly from Ladysmith.
Gen. Symons seemed to have been in
the thick of the fight, as might have
been expected. Confirmation of the
report that he was wounded has been
received, but just how seriously is not
