Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the
chains of disease is the worst form of slavery.

could not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters. she is wonder

R. G. Dun s. Co.'s weekly review

British disasters in South Africa
have brought to view something be.
sides the steady self.reliance of the

many American securities to be dis.

uninclined to take more stocks, and
money looks for safe investment. A
little decline of "a in wheat and 11ao
in corn does not hinder exports, though
it is some evidence that growers think
they have ample supplies.
Atlantic exports of wheat for five
weeks have been, flour included, 49,.

average scarcely below that of May,

at London prompts much speculative
buying, but the demand for wooden
goods is also undeniably encouraging.
Cotton manufacturers have also been

TRANs.PAClFlC CABLE.


IGN MOuutN1nss
New York, Nov. ia special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has com.
pleted the official naval project for a
trans.Pacifc submarine cable between
San Francisco and Manila in time to
supply congress with all the essential
information at the opening OF the next
session that will permit intelligent con-
sideration of the subject and prompt &C.
ton for the inauguration of the great
work.
All doubt has been removed regard
ing the practicability OF the enterprise
by the adoption OF Honolulu, Midway
and Guam as relay stations on the long
line, and by the discoveries made from
the naval.survey ship Nero as to the
character of the ocean bed between
those points. The sounding instru-
ments of this ship disclosed an abyss
in the Western Pacific over five miles
deep, but slight divergence from Il
straight line fortunately developed Il
route avoiding this insuperable obstacle
to laying working cable. At another
point, on the same stretch between
Midway and Guam, submerged noun
tain over l2, 900 feet in height was dis
covered, and a reasonably level road
around this was found.
The physical practicability of the
line now having been assured beyond
doubt, it only remains for congress to
weigh the military necessities and COM
mercial advantages to accrue from the
construction and operation of the sys-
tenn. 1t was represented to congress
at its last session that the revenue to be
expected from the Pacific cable would
not attract private capital unless it
had connection with Australia, Japan
and China, as we'll as with San Fran
cisco, Honolulu and Manila.
For that reason it was deemed indis.
pensable that the United States should
own Stronge island, in the Caroline
group, or cable landing there to in
sure the working OF loopto Australia.
The absence of this may deter any
corporation from undertaking the oper-
alton OF cable across the Pacific with
out heavy subsidy.

Trustworthy information concern.

smith comes from two civilians who ar.
rived today, having escaped from the
besieged town by evading the British
patrols and stealing through the Boe1
lines. They say that both the town

invested, and that artillery firing back
and forth is continuous. The lombard
ment is heavy but its effect is reported
to be petty. The Beers are slightly
superior in strength, but the British
forces maintain vigorous defense,
fighting daily. There were three at
tacks on the side of Ladysmith last
Friday. The accounts previously re.
ceived through native runners were
greatly exaggerated.
"The main British attack was on

was about $50 killed or wounded. II

London, Nov. 13.-The British war

the following dispatch:
"Cape Town, Thursday evening
Have received by pigeon post from Gen.
eral White today the following: "The
bombariment at long range by heavy
guns continues daily. A few CASUAL
ties are occurring, but no serious harm
is being done. The Beers sent in today
number OF refugees from the Trans
vaal under flag OF truce. A party
from Ladysmith met them outside the
pickets. When the party separated,
the Beers fired ON it before it reached
our pickets. Major Gate, of the Royal
engineers, was wounded today while
sending message. The entertainments
are growing stronger daily and the sup
ply of provisions is ample"

the following:

November 3: A small convoy and es.
cort under Speckley, OF Plumer's force,

The war office also issued the follow.
ing:
IA report having appeared in the
South African papers that our artillery
fired on the Geneva flag. General Bul.
Ter telegraphs the following account OF
the incident given to the Standard and
Diggers' News by a Dutch clergyman
with the Beers: Directly after the first
cannon shot, the English thought our
men were at the railway station, and
fired there. They were not hut one OF
the shots went through an ambulance.
As soon as they found out their mis-
take they ceased firing. The ambu.
lance was thought to have been three
miles from the scene of action, SO II
cannot be claimed the Beers broke the
rules OF civilized warfare, and l do not
think the English would have fired on
them Intentionally.
With the arrival ut Cape Town OF
the British transports Roslyn Castle
and Moor, to he followed by u contin.
nous succession of troop-laden ships,
the real campaign in South Africa may
be said to have begun, and the fact that
the first ship named was expected tc
arrive at Durham forthwith indicates
at least modification OF the plan Of
