ton two weeks ago. when riot and ILL
smelling chemicals were the order. the tor
mentors of the man Of alleged divine heal
ing propensities were medical students to
the number of more than a thousand. There
were also many football 'rooters' and their
actions were intensified by the regulation
football enthusiasm, tin horns megaphones
and ribbon-bedecked canes. The incipient
riot lasted about ten minutes, previous ac-
quaintance with the police having served as
a damper upon the demonstratiye inclina-
tions of the young "medics.''
The situation appeared to be Of such
menacing probabilities, however, that three
patrol wagons were sent post haste to the
scene. Upon the appearance Of blue wagons
the students ANONYMOUSLY fed through
convenient alleys and passageways.

British Army and Beers Almost With
I'm Striking Distance.


LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The lull in the news
from Ladysmith. Natal. which was begin
ming to be regarded as ominous, has at
length been broken by Cape Town dis
patch under this mornings date, saying:
Scouts from Modderspruit having re-
ported the Beers In force on the Help
makaar road, Gel eral White ordered out
. strong force OF artillery. mounted in
fantry and cavalry. A small patrol of
mounted infantry was shelled by the Beers
nine miles from Ladysmith and the Boer
position was finally located three miles
beyond Moddersprrtt. The British force Is
now four miles from the Boers.'
The dispatch does not give the date of
the above occurrence, but 1t must have been
since Thursday, when the last news ar
rived from Ladysmith, so the Boer advance
from Dundee southwark and from Bester's
Station eastward evidently proceeded stead

shsdowed by the above dispatch may al

The other news from the front does not
eniighten the situation in Natal. Frag-
mentary details are arriving of the occupa-
tion OF Dundee by the Beers. Ii Is alleged
that twenty men OF the town guard occu-
pied an outpost near the town. when they

Dundee. dragged several civilians out of
their houses and pistoled them In the
styeets.
In additisn 20 the above comes a story
from Cape Town to the effect that several
cases Of dum-dum bullets were found by
the Beers at Dundee which the British
abandoned In their fight. Some of the
Beers wanted to use the dum-dums in the
next battle. but President Kruger vetoed
this. saying: mo. IL must not be so.
Whatever the British are. we Beers are al
leest humane" The bullets were then de-
stroyed

pending.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-The State De-
partment has been notified from Berlin of a
favorable settlement of the insurance ques-
tion which has been pending between the
insurance companies and the Prussian gov
ernment. The application of New York
company for readmission to business in
Germany was followed by thorough in
vestigation of its affairs, extending over
several months, by a royal commission,
which visited the United States In the
early part of this year. The statement of
the company was referred by the minister
of the interior of Prussia to the actuaries
os the government and the reports of both
the commission and the actuaries to the
government were favorable. The Prussian
Cabinet unanimously ratified the reports
and voted for the company's readmisson.
The company has, among other things,
agreed that 1t will dispose of it's stocks,
amounting to $5,O0oOO0, and restrict its in
vestments hereafter to government, state,
municipal and other bonds, and bonds and
mortgages on improved real estate. Prus-
sian companies are not permitted to hold
stocks as trust fund investments. Great
credit Is given for the settlement of this
question to Count Won Buelow, imperial
secretary for foreign affairs, whose keen
interest in this international insurance
question induced him to take an active and
influential part in the negotiations between
the imperial government and our embassy.
