Cairo, Nov. 20 Lord Cromer, the
British minister here, has received the
following dispatch from General Kitch-
ener:
eWingate's forces caught up with
the khalifa's force " miles southeast

sharp fight he took the position. The
khalifa, who was surrounded by a
body-guard of emirs, was killed, and
all the principal emirs were killed OF
captured except Osman Digna, who es-
capped. The dervishes were utterly de-
feated, their whole camp was taken

"We took the entire dervish camp.
All the dervishes not killed surren-
dered. / cannot speak too highly OF
the excellent behavior of the troops,

Present-Remains Placed in Vaui
at Cedar Lawn Cemetery.

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 28.-With the
Impressive religious ceremonies of the
Presbyterian church, and with the dig
nifty due to his high office, all that was
mortal of tie vice-president, Garrett
A. Hobart, was committed to the
earth. The president, Secretary OF
State John Hay, Chief Justice Fuller,
ex2V ice President Levi P Morton, ex-
Secretary of War Alger, Secretary OF
the Interior Hitchcock, the supreme
court judges, m embers of the senate,
members of congress and the vice-pres-
idents' personal friends filled the beau
tiful Church of the Redeemer, and
with moistened eye and bowed head
testified silently and eloquently to his
worth as a statesman. friend and
neighbor.
Through the west window from the
center of the stained glass Maltese
cross pierced a shaft of crimson light
that shed its light around the cata-
falque and bathed the orchids, mar.
cissus blossoms and white roses in
bright tints. The eye of the clergy
man, DR.. David Magic, travelled along
the shaft OF light to the cross as ne re-
peated the words: ''The Lord gave and
the Lord hath taken away; blessed be
the name of the Lord"
The chief magistrate of the country
bowed his head in his hands. He was
visibly agitated. There was scarcely
dry cheek in the crowded edifce,
and the widow was comparatively the
most composed. All the pomp of an
official pageant, which was omitted in
Difference to the wishes of the deceased,

CENSUS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Requirements of the Law in Regard to
Statistics.

0tA1AsbACSs
The law requires the statistics for the
18th census of dairy products (farm
and factory to be taken on separate
schedules.
The division of agriculture will take
the amounts of milk and cream pro-
duced and sold, and the amount of
money received from their sales; also
the quantity and value of all the but
ter and cheese made on the farm.
On the manufacturers schdule will be
taken the quantity of butter and cheese
made in factories, cooperative and 9TH
erwise, together with the quantity and
cost of raw materials (milk and creamy J,
cost of labor, capital invested, charac-
ter and value of plant and machinery,
etc.
After the two forms of schedules
shall have been returned to the census
office in Washington, the like statistics
of, dairy products on each will be con-
solidated, and thus show, what never
heretofore has been shown, the total
yield of milk in the United States and
the amounts and values of it's several
porducts.
This assertion is based on the as
sumption that the farmers shall fur
nish to the enumerators, fully and ac-
curately, the information which the
schedules may call for.
In some sections the records of
cheese factory ard creamery operations
for the current year are destroyed,
agreeably to previous vote of directors
or patrons. For 1899 they should vote,
instead, to have prepared and preserved
for the use of the census enumerators,
who will appear on June l, 1900 the
statistics which the law says shall be
gathered.
In many cases q failure to do this
will prevent the enumerators from Sc
curing any returns, because new man.
ayers, or new secretaries, or new boards
OF control may be in charge on June l.,
factory statistics of 1899-and the fig
ures for 1899 are the ones which the
law says shall be taken.
Farmers who keep no records of their
transactions will find themselves in the
same dilemma, on the arrival of the
census enumerator, as a factory which
destroys it's records. Therefore, Chief
Statistician Powers is appealing to all
of them to prepare in writing,
while the necessary facts are fresh
in mind, such statement of milk,
cream, butter and cheese products as
will enable them to reply promptly and
accurately to the inquiries which the
law says the enumerators must make.
If they shall fail to do this, the sta.
tistics of dairy products in their coun.
ty will be incomplete, and will com.
pare unfavorably with those of counties
wherein the returns are more accurate

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Professor W. s..

kee, today made successful test in this
city of wireless telegraphy. They suc-
ceeded in telegraphing without wires
through suite of seven rooms, with
all doors closed, and through seven

the signals were conveyed through
three freproof vaults and an ordinary
telegraph switchboard, in which third
wires were connected up, and about 40
dead wires were located. This is con-
sidered to be the severest test to which

Small Companies.
Manila, Nov. 28.-The last Filipino
council of war was held by the retreat
ing leaders at Bayambang November
13, in the house now occupied by Gen.
eral Macarthur. 1t was attended by
Aguinaldo, Pho del Pillar, Garcia, Ale
jandrino and some members of the So
called cabinet. Information has
reached General Macarthur from sew
eral sources to the effect that the coun-
Gil recognized the futility of attempt
ing further resistance to the Americans
with united forces, and agreed that the
Filipino troops should scatter and
should hereafter follow guerrilla meth
DDS. The disposition of the generals,
with their approximate forces, is as
follows:
General Conception, with $40 men,
in New Egija province; General Maca-
bolos, with 325 men, at the town OF
Binaca, province of Tarlac; General
Pho del Pillar, with 800 men, northeast
of Malolos; General Aquino, with 500
men, at Arayat; General San Miguel,
with $50 men, in Zambolos province;
General Mascardo, with 1, 100 men, in
the mountains west of Angeles, and
the largest force, probably under Cen
eral Trias, in Cavite province.

Communication With Estcourt.

London. Nov. 29.-The colonial Office
has received the following dispatch
from the governor of Natal, dated
Pietermaritzburg, Sunday, November
90:
1.-THE Beers are retiring on Weenan.
Our troops are occupying a ridge three
miles northward of the Mooi river. 1t
appears that the Beers have found our
position too strong, and are retiring
toward Ladysmith with the loot they
have collected. The river is in flood.
Butler has arrived. Telegraphic COM

Boers DrIven Back.

London, Nov. 29.-The war depart.
ment has received the following dis
patch from General Butler, dated
Pietermaritzburg:
.Hildyard, going from Estcourt,
made successful attack November %
with three battalions, one field battery,
naval gun and 70 mounted troops on
the enemy, occupying Beacon hill,
which dominated Willow Grange, and
had interrupted his communication.
As result of operations the enemy is
retiring, and the railway and telegraph
lines have been restored between Est
court and Weston. Our loss was about
IA killed and 80 wounded. Hildyard
has advanced to a position near Frere.
as he hopes to cut off the enemy, who
is believed to be retiring on Colenso,
via Weenan.
Barton, from Weston, has advanced
to Estcourt. AS soon as communica-
ton is restored, will telegraph par
ticulars. So far as can make out the
operation is one for which Hildyard
and the troops deserve much credit.
The railway is now open to Frere."
For the moment the Boer invasion
southwark in Natal seems not only to
have spent it's force, but to have devel-
oped into retrograde movement.
Though with forces SO mobile as those
of the Beers, it is difficult to surmise
where they will appear next. Appar-
emily General Clery's advance to the
relief of Ladysmith has really COM
menced.
So far as ascertainable Hildyard g
force, which is already at Frere, must
number 200 men, and should be able
to reoccupy Colenso, where 1t may
have to await reinforcements of artil-
lery and cavalry before joining hands
with General White. General Barton
now occupies Estcourt, and the Mooi
river will be occupied by reinforce
ments from Petermaritzburg. The
whole situation has been distinctly
cleared since the arrival of Butler i'll
Natal, though doubtless the British
will have many difficulties to overcome
before White is relieved.
The big battle is likely to occur at
the passage of the Tugela river, and
it may be expected that the Beers will
make a stand there. In any case,
wherever they elect to try to stem the
British advance, there will be desper-
ate fighting and of a sanguinary char
acter.
TIL outlook in Cape Colony is dark
for the British. That General Gatacre
has no easy task is proved by the latest
dispatches from Queenstown and else
where, showing that the majority of
the population on the frontier have
openly declared themselves on the side
of the Beers. Bands of Beers are do
ing immense damage over wide area
and they have now appeared south of
Stormberg. Gatacre, however, moves
to the front today, SO it is hoped by
the British that the invasion will soon
be stemmed.
Dr. Jameson, leader of the famous
raid, has arrived in London from South
Africa.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The navy de-
partment received the following cable
gram from Captain Leutze, commando
ing the naval station at Cavite, dated
Manila, today:
'sThe Culgoa reports that the
Charleston has disappeared.
The Culgoa was the relief-ship sent
out from Hong Kong. 1t is believed
at the navy department. that the
Charleston has slipped down into deep
water from the steep bank on which she
was resting at the bow. The report
has dissipated the last hope of saving
the ship.

A house to house secretary is the lat
est employment which an enterprising
woman has devised for her sex. She
declares she has found scores of women
unable to write their social notes and
letters creditably, while others are SIM
ilarly unable to attend properly to their
business letters, and by employing a
secretary for these purposes they not
only escape blunders, but add some-
thing to their prestige by the fact that
they only sign their letters, and are,
therefore, known to have secretary.
