London, Oct. 19. a. m.-The long ex-

earnest. The Orange Free State burg

movement in the direction of Acton
Homes. southwest of Ladysmith, and
who retreated when discovered by Gen.
Whites force on a reconnaissance, adj
vanced through Tintwa Pass Tuesday
night and began hostilities by opening
their artillery on small squads of caval-
ry on the British outposts. The range
was considerable and the shooting OF
the Boer artillery wild. The outposts
We're bivouacked at the time some ten
miles west and eighteen east of camp
The evident object of the Beers was to
attack either. and by the feint to draw
the main body of troops from Lady
smith, or prelude their concentration
against the town. At any rate the firing
lasted a short time, after which the
Beers ceased. No casualties We're re-
ported.
Later the Beers made another sortie,
this time collidins with the cavalry
patrols at Acton Homes and Testers
Station, southwest of Ladysmith.
The firing continued the greater part
of the day. and there We're several Brit
ish casualties, the exact number as yet
being unknown.
Sir George White is pushing up his
supports rapidly, and it is generally be-
lieved that a big engagement is com
ing.
According to the latest and best in
formation, the Boer army in this VII
cinity numbers about $1,000 men, of
which 1000 are Orange Free Staters.
Sir George f. Whites Immediately
available force in the field is about 12.
goo. Both the Beers and the Free
Staters are supplied with artillery, and
probably have a total of thirty guns,
against which White has forty-six.
A good force of volunteers has been
left to hold Ladysmith. The plan of
the Beers is believed to be to advance
on Ladysmith and Glencoe simultane-
ously the former from Tintwa Pass
and the latter from Dannhauser. Gen.
Joubert arrived at Newcastle last night
preparatory to leading his troops in the
contemplated attack on Glencoe. Boer
scouts have already been seen at Hat
tingspruit seven miles from Glencoe.

Kruger WIN Be Able to paw.

Washington, Oct. 19-Gen. j. r.
IO'Berne, accredited by President kru-
ger as high commissioner to the United
States, has received a cahlegram from
MIR. Leyds, the Boer diplomatic repre-
sentative in Europe, announcing that
the rumor that his government could
mot meet its obligations on contracts
are pure inventions.
This message was in response to a
dispatch sent by Gen. O'Beirne calling
attention to the reports and informing
him that If any financial assistance
We're desired it Will be Immediately fur
Hnished by friends Of the South African
republic in the United States. Gen.
O'Beirne has been a close student of
the sentiment in this country with re-
spect to the South African war, and
those who are close to him say he
would not be surprised if the matter
should become a political issue. In any
event, representatives of the Boer gov
ernment here are confident that if any
money is needed by President Kruger
no difficulty will be experienced in rails
ing it in the United States.
The report that telegraphic commune
cations with Pretoria is Interrupted is
mot credited here in view of the instruc-
tions given Gen. O'Reirne by Mr. Leyds
TO send all cable communications to
President Kruger via Lorenzo Marques.

lately of what they deemed a want of
attention on the part of the authorities.
The strength OF the militia is about
105,000, and that of the reserve about
10000. The governments purpose is to
provide a body of trained men which
shall be available, In case of need, to
supplement, support and relieve the
regular army in the home and Mediter-
ranean garrisons. There is no idea of
sending the men to South Africa. They
are called out simply to replenish
British garrisons denuded Of the line
battalions now on active service.
Vhe other proceedings of the house of
commons were of no practical import
ance. Sir William Vernon Harcourt's
speech criticising Mr. Chamberlain's
negotiations of Transvaal affairs is
generally thought disappointing for
want of force.
1t is thought that the house will
stand adjourned within fortnight,
with the government war policy prac-
tically unanimously supported and
about 910,000,000 voted for the army
supplementary estimate.
French comment on the war contin-
ues to be bitter, but attracts no atten-
|tion here. Figaro, however, seems more
moderate in it's criticisms of Lord Sails
bury's speech last night. On this point
I had an interesting talk with the well
known French writer Gabriel Mouret.
who arrived in London yesterday.
THE majority of the French people,
he said, take nosreal interest in the
Transvaal question per Sc. The oppo-
sition to England is chiefly confined TO
the Journalists, but as recent events
have shown, the newspapers do not
represent the real France.
You must remember that large
quantities of Transvaal mining stock
are held in France, so that our people
have a lively interest in the speedy set
tlement of the affair.
A we'll known member of parliament
said to me in the lobby of the house
this afternoon: IF Kruger had been
able to prevent matters reaching head
until after the Paris exposition he
could probably have counted on mate

PARENTS owe it to their child

regardless of the law, which re-
quires that all school children
shall show a certificate of vaccina-
ton before being allowed to enter

the law as are all of the larger

the physicians have made a uni

Saturday, Sept. 9, 1899.
the COUNTRY FOR EXPANSION.

III there cVcf was d lllllC III lllC
history of the United States,"
says the democratic Nashville
American, when the true blue
American citizen should show his
love of country it is at this juno
ture On the blood stained fields
of Luzon thousands of our coun-
try men are heroically battling
under the stars and stripes"
Many other southern democratic
papers are taking an equally pat
riotic position. The Louisville
Courior-Journal, the New Orleans
Picayune, the Chattanooga Times
and other prominent papers in
their section are demanding a Wig
orous prosecution of the war un-
til American sovereignty is recog-
nized in all parts Of the domain
which Spain coded to the United
States in the treaty of peace.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
who returned to Washington the
other day from a trip to the Pa
cihc coast, reported that the n
tire west was solid for expansion.
Expansion sentiment is evidently
almost as widely diffused through
the south. AS has been shown,
the leading newspapers of that re-
gion are for a vigorous assertion
of the national authority in the
Philippines, and in all the rest of
our domain in which it may be re-
sisted. Those papers must repre-
sent the sentiment of their com
munity on this issue. There is
good rcason for believing that the
east is almost as earnest for OK
pansion as the west or the south.
The home OF the anti-imperialist
league is Massachusetts,. That
state is the home, also, of Edward
Atkinson and William Lloyd Gar
rison. Yet Boston has furnished
more soldiers, in proportion to its
population, to the new regiments
for the Philippines than any other
town in the United States.
There can be no reasonable
doubt that national expansion
will be the winning issue for the
Republican party in 1900. Shrewd
democrats see this, and will fight
the insertion of an anti-expansion
plank into their platform next
year. They will be overruled by
the Bourbonsa and the reactionaries
of their party, however. The
organs and the Stones will put a
contraction declaration into their
platform next year, despite all
the warnings which the policy OF
their party in it's great days and
the lessons of the present teach,
An anti-expansion plank will hit
the democracy harder in 1900 than
did its soc dollar declaration ir
1896. The whole country is fol
the assertion of the national au'
thority which we gained in the
war of 1898. The policy of the
administration in pressing the wa
to an early and glorious conclusion
will be Endorsed by an overwhelm
ing number of the American PEG
pie. The Republican party stand
an excellent chance of getting il
1900 a larger majority than ha
been rolled up at any previou
time since 1872.-Grand Fork
