GOVERNOR rYLER's MESSAGE.
Topics for Discussion by the yir
ginia Legislature.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. Ex-Governor
Tyler has about finished hls message to
the legislature. This paper is expected TO
be quite a lengthy one and will deal with
some of the most important subjects con-
sidered in the State for some time.
Among the governors recommendation
will, it is understood. be a law providing
for Senatorial primaries. The lines that
Governor Tyler will suggest will probably
be those of the Reddy bill. which, W.
A. Jones has declared on the stump, was
defeated largely through the instrument
tality Of Senator Martin and his friends.
1t is probable that such a measure will
pass this year. Mr.. Martin and those who
have expressed themselves favorable to
a Senatorial primary. The objection they
urged to it during the last campaign was
that it was evidently aimed at the junior
Senator. and for that reason the issue was
manifestly unfair to that gentleman.
Among the governors other recon-
mendatons will be a tax of 10 cents on all
fertilizers sold in this State, which is to
go to the department of agriculture. 1t
is estimated that this tax will raise about
$50 900 year. The sentiment of many of
the members of the legislature is favora-
BILE to this recommendation. The message
will also recommend increasing the cell
room at the State penitentiary, so as TO
comfortably accommodate all of the in
mates of that institution, and also a law
requiring candidates for office to make an
oath 10 the expenses incurred in their
camDaigu.

Beers being drawn from Whites position
to resist the British at Estcourt, he might
deliver an attack in rear while Clery was
fighting in front, and SO infiict decisive
defeat. But we are inclined to think that
the general commanding the relief column
will hardly place dependence upon such q
combination 1t would seem more natural
for him to attempt a fanking movement
toward Weenens, northeast of Estcourt,
with the double object of striking Schalk
Burger, and of turning Jouberts left.
This might necessitate a further detail OF
Beers from Ladysmith and strengthen
Whites chances to take the offensive and
fall on the former at some exposed point.
Viewing Schalk Burgers as column mo-
bile, which must be considered with re-
gard 10 the possibility of its attempting a
diversion in the direction Of Pietermaritz-
burg, it would seem rational to preclude
such a movement, by getting between MIN
and the lower country. Notwithstanding
Jouberts superiority in numbers, we are
impressed with the idea that he will be in
precarious situation before many days,
in case Clery has half the strategical
ability we shouI. assume from his rank
and experience.
The world is not wagging altogether well

The situation mt Es,cour,

Unless the news from Natal is unusually
misleading the prospects Of Sir George
White at Ladysmith would seem 10 be con-
sidorably improved. In order to meet the
advance of Sir Charles Francis Clery's re
lieving column, General Joubert as report
I'd. has found it necessary to detlch a force
of ten thousand men from the army be-
fore Ladysmith, and has concentrated them
cn Estcourt. In order that this movement
should be successful. it ought to have been
effected before. That it was not. jus;ifies
the theory that Joubert was much more
confident of his ability to reduce the gar
risen under White before re-enforcements
could come up frcm Durham than he should
have been. Now that he nas been conipell-
ed to greatly weaken the active besieging
force in order to mest attack from the
south it should only be q question of am
munition and provisions with the defend
ers of Ladysmith how long they can hold
out
There is satisfactory evidence that Ma
ior General Hildyard who commands at
-fsstcourt, superseding Colonel Long has
been sufficiently REINFORCED with men and
long range guns to make his position ex-
tremely tenable, if not impregnable to at
tack from the front. And it is to be ex-
pected that Sir C. +. Clery within very
few days will be able to move against Jou-
bert with the remainder of the First Divis-

his pastorate of the Congregational Church

of the Rev. DR.. Richard Salter Storrs was
offered in a letter to the church and con-
gregation, which was read from the pull
pit. Owing to failing health he has been
unable to preach since early in October.
While the deacons and some of the trus-
tees had been informed privately by DR..
Storrs of his intended action the letter came
as a surprise to the majority of the con-
gregation and caused considerable emo
tion among the older members of the
church. who have known DIR. Storrs for
lifetime. The general feeling. however.
was that if DIR. Storrs felt the duties of
pastor too ardous for his advancing Sears
he would be relieved. There is complete
harmony in the church. it is said. and
any wish that DIR. Storrs may have will

boxes are getting on. They are to be fitted
in five of the ninety new locomotives about
to be added to the New York Central Rail-
roads equipment.
Railroad men who have passed their ex-
pert judgment on Cornelius Vanderbilt's s
invention declare that it will bring a snug
fortune. or what to struggling inventor
would seem to be great wealth. There is
only one condition to prevent the immedi-
ate adoption of the Vanderbilt locomotive
firebox, and that is its efficiency after

question. That is why eIghty-fiye Of the
new engines will be equipped with the old
pattern Of furnace.
Mr.. Vanderbiit's device is the applica-
tion of corrugated surface to the firebox.
1t presents greater surface of water to
the fire and makes more steam with less
coal. 1t had been tried and proved in
marine boilers before MI Vanderbilt ap-
piled it to railway locomotive construc-
ton.
