week ending Sept. 30, excluding superin-

of the employees, large and small, to be
s15.5I per week. This was not an cx.
traordinary week. 1t was the customary

The Douglas factory has been closed
but one week this year. and that for the

be closed but three days the latter part
of December. This Wsilld make but nine

.ragic Tidings OF Whites Defenl
Stuns the English.

SIuuS tI1S 4
London, Nov. 1.-While minor re-
verses in South Africa were not wholly
unexpected, nothing like the stagger-
ing blow Joubert delivered to Whites
forces yesterday was anticipated. The
full extent of the disaster is not yet
acknowledged, if it is known at the
war Office The loss in effect must
be appalling to general who is prac-
tically surrounded. Two of the finest
British regiments and a mule battery
deducted from the Ladysmith garrison
weakens it about one-ffth of it's total
strength and alters the whole situa-
tion very materially in favor of the
Beers, who have again shown them-
selves. stern fighters and military
strategists of no mean order. The dis
aster has cost the British 1900 to 1000
men and six seven-pound screw guns,
and as the Boer artillery is already
stronger than imagined, the capture
of these guns will be great help to
the Beers.
Further news must be awaited be-
fore it is attempted to fix the blame
where it belongs. General White man
fully accepts all responsibility for the
disaster, which, apparently, at least,
was partially due to the stampeding
of the mules with the guns.
From the list it will be seen that
