TIE COON DANCE.
A Great Social and Artistic Success.

The Coon party made a hit and mig
gers have captured the town. The
! fun commenced in the afternoon when
the Nevada State Band appeared on
the street made up as wenches. There
were all sorts of costumes, rich, poor
handsome and homely, but there was d
great display of colcrs. The band
played coon marches and gave a
coon" concert in the Capitol grounds.
The first lumber on the program was
The Troubles of a Coon Band"
which was arranged by A. l.. Smith,
leader Of the band. 1t started with no
one in the stand but himself, but fl
nally a cOrnet appears and takes up
the air of Down on the Swanee
River" and the leader joins in while
they make a very pretty duet. BY the
lime the refrain is reached a third
member of the band has arrived and
the trio continue. The basses arrive
just in time to play a bass solo and the
echo to ''Old Black joe came from
Musser street. A fine quartette of al
tOs and s~aXaphone was heard from
around behind the Capitol and down
King street came marching a pretty
good sized reed band with drums play
ing a cake walk which was led hv Mig
gers Cowing and Morante. BY this
time all the various sections had been
brought together and the whole band
wound up on ''Theren be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight" And there
was.
The Coon dance at the Opera House
IN the evening was about the liveliest
dancing event ever pulled off in Carson
BY nine O'Clock the place was packed
and when the grand march struck up
the gaily dressed dancers took possess
sion of the floor. They were dressed
in all y~arities from the plainly dressed
and ragged plantation niger to the
loudly attired bellies Haunting the red
and greens and yellow, and the swell
coons in plug hats and massive jewelry,
some wearing diamonds as big as hens
eggs.
Geo. Tyrrell. Arthur Raycraft and
ChaS. Billings were the leading swell
mokes and they had razors in their
boot legs a foot long.
There were also some very odd char
acters. ''Pansy" Clifford attracted d
good deal of atten ion in his picnic cos
tune and there were 'OId Black Joes"
and TopSeys in proportion.
The dancers were free, easy and
jolly and the lack of stiffness and for
mality mixed with ringing laughter
and ripping fun, made the white trash
a. want to get on the floor and join in.
but they were not allowed t. 10 so.
Then came the cakewalk. 1t was
something simply exc~ruciatine.
There were all kinds of dancing dis
played and some of the real poetry of
motion was thrown in also.

ter Morante. simgly Glanced to beat
the band when they appeared and the
building fairly shook with applause
when they wound up their turn.
The cake went to Miss Lilly Wright
and Chas. Billings for they had more
genuine cake walk steps than anybody.
1t is said hat Billings also had along
with him the genuine "coon' odor and

Al Important EyPEl!TIw
Fell Campaign Under Way
in the Islands.
HOT CHASE AFTER AouINAIDo
Sail to Co-Operate with Land Forces
End Next Spring.

Manila, Nov. This evening feet
of transports and gunboats left Manila
for the most important expedition of
the autumn campaign. Its destina-
ton is supposed to be Dagupan, or
some other northern port. General
Weaton commands, with a brigade con-
sisting OF the Thirteenth infantry, the
Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the
Sixth artillery and two gatlings. The
transports Sheridan, Francisco de Reys
and Aztec carry the troops, with the
gunboat Helena as escort. A dis
patch boat was sent ahead to arrange
a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the warships
that are patrolling the northern coast
of Luzon.
1t is assumed here that the purpose
of the expedition is to move down the
Dagupan- Manila railroad towards
Tarlac, in order to prevent Aguinaldo's
forces making another base farther
south. Dagupan and Apparri are the
strongholds of the insurgents in the
north.
1t has been the unanimous opinion of
military experts that Dagupan should
be made a base of operations, but suffi-
cient troops have heretofore been lack
ing. With Generals Wheaton, Mac
Arthur and Lawton moving upon Tarlac
from three directions, and the noun
tains hemming in the other side, the
insurgents capital will soon become

shift his headquarters to the rich tobac-
co country at the northern end of the
island. 1t will be difficult for the
insurgents to escape. Should the
scheduled operations succeed, organ
lied instruction on large scale should
be, at an end early next spring, although
guerrilla warfare is likely to continue
for long time. No one anticipates
that the insurgents will make many
hard battles.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Moran Broth
ers, of Seattle, shipbuilders, have SUBJ
mitted to the navy department another
bid to take the place of that submitted
last Wednesday for the construction of
3,500-ton cruiser. The firm does
this on the theory that congress in
tended at least two OF six vessels should
be constructed on the Pacific coast,
and as the Union iron works at San
Francisco, the only other bidder ON the
slope, bid for only one of the ships, the
Seattle firm feels that if it reduces its
original bid to the same figures as that
of the San Francisco corporation, it
should have it considered on even
terms.
The proposition being irregular, it
has been referred to the board of con-
struction and the general opinion is
that it cannot be entertained.

VOLUNTEERS AT HOME.
Seattle Honors the Returning Washing
ton Soldiers,

Seattle, Wash, Nov. s. The First
Washington volunteers, who made
brilliant record in the Philippine war,
arrived here this morning ON the steam
ship Queen, and were given a recep-
ton never to be forgotten by those who
witnessed it.
Thirty thousand people poured into
the city from all parts of the state to
honor the returning heroes, British Co.
lumbia and Oregon also sending their
quota. The principal streets We're
deliberately decorated with banners,
steamers, flags and emblems. Public
buildings and store windows presented
many unique and handsome designs.
Along the streets were strings of cleo
trio lights.
The celebration commenced with a
naval parade, which, well.informed
men sail, was one OF the best ever seen
on the coast. 1t included so vessels,
which left Seattle early in the morn
ing, and in platoon formation met the
stea mship Queen five miles down the
Sound.
Cam MS doomed from the govern
ment vessels in the harbor and the land
batteries as the fleet neared the city.
The sick were brought up on the
Queens deck and propped up and wit
messed the landing. 1t was wonder
full sight. There was cheering of the
widest kind, waving of flags, firing of
crackers and over all the booming of
heavy guns.
The land parade was between walls
OF humanity, packed into the streets.
General Nelson A. Miles and Governor
Rogers were the distinguished guests.

Beers in ColensO,

Estcourt, Natal, Nov. S.-Colenso is
now in the hands OF the Beers. Before
the evacuation was decided upon, the
enemy tried to cut off our outposts.
The Durham light infantry. under Lieu
tenant Molineux, and force of Dublin
fusiiers were sent to the relief of the
outposts. and brisk fight ensued.
The Beers we're repulsed, leaving II
dead. Twenty Boer horses were killed
and others stampeded. The chief mo-
tive for the withdrawal, however, was
that the long range of the Boer guns
had made the position untenable. No
orders were received for retirement.
The Beers shelled Colenso camp at
dawn today, being apparently unaware
of the evacuation. They looted the
stores, but did not harm the bridges,
saying they would want the railway
themselves. The women and children
here are crowding the trains bound iol
Pietermaritzburg and Durham.

Retreat Cut or.

London, Nov. 1.-THE war Office has
issued the following announcement:
1.-THE colonial office has received in.
formation to the effect that the British
troops have withdrawn from Colenso
and have concentrated further south,
but we have no news of any engage
ment in that neighborhood.
The evacuation of Colenso is I'M.
doubtedly most serious matter for the
British in Natal. as it not only testifies
to the complete investment of Lady
smith by the Beers, but makes the
relief of General Sir George Stewart
White an extremely difficult operation.

and 80 mounted Beers were captured.
The fighting was resumed yesterday,
the Beers firing from Nodswathshana
hill, near Hepworth's farm. Again
they were driven back with loss on
their camp. A large Boer force, with
artillery, under John Wessetts, has
taken up position on the left of Bea-
con, locating on the Woodhouse, Pic
clones and Langvaracht farms, facing
Besters. and small commando is
now encamped on the south side of
Peters station commanding the rail-
way. The Beers lave torn up the cul-
verts of the railway near Pieters sta
ton, and have burned the wooden por-
tions.
No damage had yet been done at
Colenso The houses, stores, railway
and iron bridges remain intact. The
messenger says that he heard the Beers
would be in Colenso today, and that
the volunteers were leaving.
1t is reported that the Beers lost 500
in killed, wounded and captured in
Thursdays battle on Tatham's farm,
near Ladysmith.
Pietermaritzburg, Natal, Nov. S.

egraphic communication north of Est

ceived a crushing blow at Ladysmith
Thursday.
Evening-The British forces at Lady

execution with bayonets, the Gordon
Highlanders carrying the principal
Boer position at the point of the bay
onet. The Beers lost heavily in killed

And the Bystanders Laughed.

Upper Sandusky Union: This is a
story we heard Monday and it is too
good to keep. "One of our commission
ers," so says the relator was recently
sitting in front of the hotel Gottfried.
In the bosom of his shirt sparkled a
large diamond, at least large enough to
attract attention and throw forth the
inference there was little possibility of
accusing it Of being manufactured at
Findlay.
"A citizen approaching and being at
tracted by the sinner, gazed at it mo-
ment with mingled awe and admiration.
Finally he inquired:
Say, what's that you got on your
shirt front
En- replied the county commission
er. This? Why, can't you see-that's
a burr off Of Canton bridge"
And the bystanders laughed.
