RUSSIA AGGRESSIVE.
Rumor of Move Made Upon the
Frontier by the Gear.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7.-Rumors
have been going for the last tweny-four
hours to the effect that the Russians had
taken Herat. The report has become
modified, so as to fit with the belief that
Russia has more or less immediate de-
signs upon Kashgar. while any action
against Herat Is declared quite out of the
question.
As the latter correction seems to have
originated on the bourse it naturally sug-
gests the probability OF a two-fold at
tempt to meet the wishes of the Anglo
phobes and the Russian press. and at the
same time perhaps counterfeit the good
impression of M. Whites favorable ex-
PLANTATION of the financial situation. It
may be that the scene will be shifted still
further down the frontier and eastward
and we will be told that Tibet, for in
stance, Is the object of further Russian
expansion, for the purpose presumably,
of annoying England, especially as there
Is already a strong Russian exploring
party with a detachment of Cossacks in
that country.
It is impossible to imagine a more i'm
probable violation Of a fixed frontier
which Russia herself helped to lay down,

court are abroad and the minister of war

Says One Thousand Were Killed.
LONDON, Nov. s.-Detailed reports of
Gen. Whites movements at Ladysmith
must be spread before the public before
they can form a clear idea of what hap
pened Various dispatches indicate that
a battle occurred on Saturday. The con-
lecture stated in Gen. Buffers
dispatch on Sunday that Gen.
French's name had been given by
mistake for that of Col Brocklehurst
in the dispatch received from Ladysmith
by pigeon post at Durham, is now explain
ed by a dispatch from Pietermaritzburg,
which says that Gen. French left there
for Ladysmith on Thursday. The Daily
Telegraph publishes the following dis
patch from Pietermaritzburg, dated Sat
urday evening:
Since their occupation Of CoIenso the
Beers have attempted no advance further
south Estcourt is now becoming a
strong and growing camp. Maj. Wolfe
Murray is in temporary command. the
enemy bombarded Colenso on Thurs
day until sunset, at the extreme range
of his nine-centimeter Krupp guns.
Confirmation has been obtained Of the
report that Gen. Schalkerberger, is the
Boer commander at Vryburg. A general
Boer advance is not Thought probable.
Means have been taken to defend PETER
maritzburg against a possible attack, and
also to relieve Ladysmith before the
enemy can come further. Widespread ru-
mors of Dutch and native origin have
been current yesterday that during a re
reconnaissance from Ladysmith north
ward toward Latham's Hook and NichoI-
son Mex, the British troops engaged the
Beers 1t is reported the British drove
the Beers into a valley, where the British
cavalry charged through them. The Boer
loss in the engagement is said to have
reached 1000, the British loss, 100 1t is
known that Gen. White drew in his out
posts today and the Boer outposts are at
Colenso. The news of the Boer loss has
caused much mourning among their rela-
tfveS."

REFUSED AT MAFEKING.
Another Defeat of the Beers Is Re-
ported.

LONDON, Nov. S.-News has just ar
rived from MafeBing showing that I'D to
Oct 81 the Beers continued the lombard
ment, firing as many as 300 shots in
thirty-six hours, though causing but lit
tie damage and wounding but four men.
That day they closed in all around the
town, and made determined attempt to
rush it. The garrison stood out to a
man, and delivered a terrific rifle and
Maxim fire, which speedily disconnected
the Beers, who were driven over mines
which exploded, and scattered them with
great loss. It Is believed at Mafeking
that the enemy suffered heavily, and are
not likely to make another attempt to
storm the town.

The Beers, having accepted British
suzerainty in 1881, are held to be bound by
the declaration Of Paris of 1885 against
prtvateering, to which England was a
party. This recognition of suzerainty in
1881, whatever was the effect of the con-
vention of 1884, makes the international
status of the Boer flag very doubtful.
