Began Firing Into Hous IS, and a
Race War May Result

MACON, Mo-, November 5.-A body
Of negoes got out Of the stockade at
Mine No. 81 this morning and started
toward town. On arriving near Mine
No. Z, they stationed themselves in a
railroad cut and began firing into
houses. David CANDLES residence was
riddled with bullets and the family
had to lie fat on the floor to escape the
fusilade o. l.. Trolard's house was
attacked in a similar manner and sew
eral others had to evacuate their homes
Sheriff Glenn left last night, and the
negroes took advantage of his absence
to resume their outrages. He to-day
went to Mine No. 81 and will endeavor
to arrest the guilty parties. This sec
ond uprising has thoroughly aroused
the people of Bevier. Several parties
came to Macon to-day in quest of rifles
and ammunition and a request was
made for the guns OF the military
academy, but there was no cartridges
for them. show of force is necessary
before the negroes will consent to be
disarmed and peace is not expe ted until
this is accomplished. There is no lack
of volunteers to assist the sheriff and
wholesale arrests are looked for to-

THURSDAYS BATTLE.

LONDON, November 5.-A special
dispatch from Ladysmith describing
Thursdays battle, says:
"The artillery duel at dawn, in which
the Beers guns were silenced, was in
tended to occupy the Beers and to en-
able Sir George Stewart White to
achieve his chief purpose-the capture
of the Boer camp behind Besters hill.
For this purpose the lancers, hussars,
Natal cairbeeners and Natal border
rifles started under Gen. French at
sunrise, and got within striking dis
lance before the enemy was aware OF
their presence. A field battery was
also sent, and it secured a good posi-
ton commanding the enemy's camp,
which was a large one, lagaared with
army wagons and other vehicles.
'Besters hill was well fortified and
provided with good guns. At nine
o'clock the British opened fire, the
Beers replying with spirit but bad aim
The British quickly sent a 42-pound
shell into the camp, infiicting terrible
loss and spreading panic among the
enemy. Our cavalry then stormed the
position, the Beers fleeing precipitate-
ly, leaving many dead and wounded,
as well as the whole camp and equip
ment in the hands OF the British. his
success will upset the plans Of the
Orange Free State commanders and
possibly will prevent them giving the
British further trouble from the west.

NEW YORK. November 5.-Richard
Croker, who is personally directing the
campaign in the boroughs of Manhat-
tan and the Bronx, says that the Tam
many district leaders are increasing
their estimates of the Democratic ma
jorities. He claims $4,000 or more
plurality in New York county. The
Republicans claim a small plurality on
the county ticket. The Democrats have
flooded the city and State with cam
paign literature bearing on the Assem-
bly, contest. The alleged purpose OF
the Republicans to amend the New
York charter so as to give Albany
moro power over affairs in this city,
has been taken up by Tammany, which
expects to win several districts in this
city with the home rule cry.
Chairman Odell, of the Republican
State Committee, estimates that the
Democrats will not gain over three
seats, but the general opinion is that
the Democrats will gain at least twice
as many as that. Except Tor the eff
forts of the independent labor men,
the fusion county campaign has lag
ged, the bad blood engendered by the
fights between Republicans and citi-
zens union in the assembly districts
having reacted on the county ticket.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 5.
Chairman Reeder, of the Republican
State Committee said tonight that he
has now received reports from every
county in the State conveying conser-
vative estimates of the vote of Tues
day next. Mr.. Reeder declined to
make public any of these county esti-
mates, but said his estimate, based on
these returns, is that the Republican
State ticket will have a plurality OF
at least $4,000 votes.
Democratic State Chairman Killing
in summing up the situation tonight
said:
I'VE frankly state that we can not
hope to win if the fraudulent condl-
lions in Philadelphia that have exist
ed in the past are to continue next
Tuesday.
Should these alleged fraudulent con-
ditions not prevail, Mr.. Killing express
ed the belief that Mr.. Greasy, the DEM
ocratic candidate for State Treasurer,
will be elected by handsome majority
To sustain this conclusion Mr.. RlllinS
saws the Democrats will benefit by the
stav-at- home vote on account OF It's
being an off year; that fifty per cent
of the 10000 votes cast for Swallow,
the independent candidate OF last year
will vote for Greasy; that $4,000 indie
pendent Republicans will vote lot
Greasy and that 'by the action taken
by different organizations we nope 10
prevent al least 25,000 illegal votes
from being counted in Philadelphia.

LINCOLN, Neb., November 5.-Ex-
tremists on each side claim fifteen
thousand for their candidate. The
State Democrats estimate gives Hol-
comb, fusion, for Supreme Judge, five
thousand, possibly less. The pass
question is responsible His record
for economy and his splendid fight
for the peoples interest while Cover
nor may outweigh this, in which case
he may get ten thousand.
Republicans have engaged in the
most slanderous campaign ever known
to defeat Holcomb, as they hope to
make it tell in the campaign next
year against Bryan. The 5tay-at-home
farmer vote may have some effect.
This is not looked for this year, how
ever, as the farmer seems to realize
that the price of what he has to sell
doesn't correspond with what he pays
when he buys his goods. This may
cause him to desert his cornfield for
one day. The German vote is factor
in the Democracy's favor, as they
know what militarism means.
Bryan's great tour through the
State was wonderful in results, crowds
greeting him every where. In the past
ten days the tide has increased in favor
of Holcomb and may make his vote
heavier than conservative estimate can
now weigh it.
To sum it up it is our belief fusion
will win in Nebraska by big major
ity, but Holcomb may be scratched
and his vote less than for the fusion
Regents.
Nebraska will assuredly stay by
Bryan, the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution.

Review of the Conditions from Republic
eau Standpoints.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 5.-The
most significant development in the Ohio
campaign since yesterday is the prediction
made by Ex-Governor Charles Foster. VINO
has been speaking throughout the State
for the Republican ticket. He estimates
the total vote of the State at 975, COO of
which Nash Republican, will get not less
than 400 900; Mclean, Democrat, not more
than 10000, and Jones, Non-Partisan, and
all others will divide the remainder. But
after giving these figures on Nash and
Mclean, Mr.. Foster said there was a
strong probability that Jones would cut
down this estimate on the leading candi-
dates, but if he did, three-fourths of the
cutting would be on the Mclean vote. Mr..
Foster predicts that outside of Cuyahoga
and Hamilton counties, which include the
cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati, the Re
pubncans will elect not less than eighteen
Senators and sixty Representatives. which
would give both houses to the Republicans.
as the Democratic ticket in Hamilton coun-
ty has Republicans on it.
A peculiar feature of the campaign has
been the use by the parties of the utter
ances of ex-senator John Sherman. 1t is
well known among public men in Ohio that
Senator Sherman has warm feeling for
Judge Nash and therefore it is not strange
that Republican papers to-day and hereto
fore have published kilograms from Mr.
Sherman showing that feeling. One print
ed to-day, addressed to Chairman Dick
of the Republican State committee, says:

Entire confidence is still reposed

FINE BoER STRATEGY.

LONDON, November 6.-The Daily
Mail publishes the following dispatch
from Burghersdorp dated November q:
The large British camp at Storm
borg Junction has been broken I'D to-
day by the order of Sir Redvers Butler.
Everything, including guns. stores.
tents and the usual paraphernalia of a
camp, is being removed to Queenstown,
about fifty miles southeast CT Storm
borg.
IAN Orange Free State force. about
$500 strong, with several guns, which,
for some time. was concentrated Just
across the Orange river, has crossed
the bridge at Bethulie, destroying por-
tons Of the railway on its march. This
is obviously with the intention Of chez <
ing the coming advance of our army
corps.
The enemy now appear to be await
ing information before making a fur
Their move TO the South. The impress
sion here is that the removal of the
Stormborg company may result in a
large number Of the colonial Beers
joining the enemy. The English ser
ton is utterly upset at the withdrawal
OF the British troops and the serious
news from Natal"
The Cape Town correspondent of the

addition to Stormburg. Rosmead juno
ton and Naauwpoort are to be evacu-
ated.

for sound money and prosperity
1t is also well known that Mr. Sherman
has not cordial feeling for President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna. and that he
openly antagonizes the Presidents Phil
ippine policy. Hence the Democratic pa
pers have been publishing interviews and
dispatches from ex-senator Sherman, in
dicating his position in that regard.
One of the latter addressed to the editor
of an Ohio Democratic paper, contains the
following:
Il am strongly opposed to the enforced
annexation of the Philippine islands The
seizure of any part of the Philippines
against their will is a gross violation of
the laws of nations
II is claimed by Republicans that the
alienation of Republicans who disagree
with the administration on the Philippine
question will be more than offset by Demo-
Gratis who believe in upho.ding the govern
ment and who oppose the silver policy to
which the Democrats are pledged.

COLUMBUS, o., November 5, 1899.
ITO the Voters of Ohio:
But two days remain before the
people of Ohio, by their ballots, give
expression to their opinions on the is
sues before the public. After most
careful canvass, after a thorough look
into the situation, hearing from every
county, from nearly every township OF
the State, believe that the Democrat
ic will receive many thousand more
votes than the Republican ticket.
after a careful look through the
elect lion system of Ohio, after going over
the organization of our party and look
ing fairly into the organization OF the
opposition party, do not believe that
any wrong can be successfully brought
about. All the Democrats have to do
is to be careful; watch the votes cast;
see them counted after they are cast;
see the returns properly made and
sealed, shutting out all opportunities
to substitute Hanna ballot for DEM
ocratic one, and victory is completely
ours. l say this without qualification,
without reserve. Hanna is beaten.

BRITISH ANXIETY.

LONDON, November 6.-The Cape
Town correspondent of the Standard,
telegraphing Wednesday, says:
1.-The British first class protected
cruiser Terrible is steaming at full
speed from Simonstown, Cape Colony,
for Durham, Natal
There is some disQuietude here in
consequence of a message from Pre-
toria giving Commandant Kronje's re-
port of his operations against Mafeking.
The grand stand is only about a mile
from Mafeking; and if kronjes ac-
count is to be believed, the Beers must
be very close"
THE LATEST IDEAS IN LONDON.
LONDON, November 6.-The genera
belief in London is that the Beers are
now waiting for more guns from Pre-
toria before attacking Ladysmilh. The
fact that Sir Redvers Butler appears to
have ordered a retirement from Storm
borg and perhaps from ether places, re-
lieves TO some extent the pubic mind,
which otherwise would have been fur
Their alarmed Confidence is felt in any
measures that Gen. Butler may deem
desirable. The knowledge that the
pigeon-post is working has also cone
as a relief to the great anxiety previ-
ously felt.
The third-class cruiser Petorus has
been ordered from Gibraltar to Durham
and the aSid-class cruiser Fearless from
Port Said 10 the same point.
Dispatches from Cape Town and 9TH
er centers in Cape Colony indicate that
the Cape Dutch are becoming very rest
less in consequence of the continued
Boer successes.
The Morning Posts Ladysmith COR
respondent, telegraphing November /,
says:
I'VE cannot understand the Boer tao
ties. 1t is incomprehensibl that they
should have refrained from using their
big guns this morning"
Commenting upon this dispatch, the
Morning Post observes:
st is easy to guess the reason. I'm
doubtedly the Beers have been nom
plussed by the arrival of the naval
guns at Ladysmith. They are now re-
GREETING a lost opportunity, as they
might have cut the railway and thus
prevented the appearance of these guns
N the scene"
The Times, in a careful editorial to-
day on the relations of the United
States to the war in South Africa, says:
When the continent rings with denun-
Citations of Eng and it is very cheering and
refreshing for the English people to note
the sympathy and intelligent comprehen-
sion manifested in the United States. We
should prize American sympathy In any
case, but it becomes doubly grateful when
manfestiy based upon a deliberate ana
wel-informed judgment Of the essential
merits Of the quarrel. as well as upon a
reciprocation of kindly feelings with which
Englishmen regard American aims and en-
terprises.
The American people are not blinded by
the accident that the Transvaal calls it.

sential attribute of republic is wanting;
and they know also that England stands
for equal laws, individual freedom and the
energetic progress which together make up
the republican ideal of the Americans. AS
England pumped for the United States,
so the United States now pumps for Eng

nicalities of the attorney"
