Especial Associated Press Cable to
The InteIllgenceF,)

LONDON, Nov. 24.-General Methu-
EMS message leaves a great deal 10 be
explained. According to all previous
facts obtainable as to the relative
strength OF the forces, the Beers must
have been In a decided minority, yet
the total British loss, 22O killed, wound
ed and missing, proves the effectiveness
of their resistance and amply Justlfies
General Methuen's tribute to the cour-
age and skill with which the burghers
fought. The fact that no guns and only
forty prisoners were captured by the
vIctors and that the Beers carried OF
their dead and wounded shows that
they retired In an orderly manner, with
opt precipitation or Confuslon,and that,
probably, the Boer casualties we're not
numerous. owing to the strength Of
their position.
The destruction of the Boer ammunl:
tion captured is taken as an indication
that Gen. Methuen occupied the cap
tured position Mt Belmont and destroyed
the Boer supplies in order not to nam
per the immediate advance OF his Tying
column, which is marching In the light
est order.
The road Is now presumably open 10
the Boer position on the Modder river,
where the guards, who apparently bore
the brunt Of yesterdays fighting, will, in
all probability, have another chance to
get at close quarters with the bayonet.
Throngs of people were waiting at
the war Office last evening until a late
hour for the lists Of those killed,
wounded or missing in the battle Of
Belmont, but nothing was published In
addition to General Methuen's first dis
patch. General Buffers destination Is
kept a strict secret at Cape Town, some
reports saying that he has gone north
and others that he has gone to Durham,

leigh. for the Republican side, brought
up the question thar the board nae
no right to go behind the returns OF
the county canvassing boards. H'
claimed that no State in the Union per.
united such action. saying that the mat
ter had been decided in all the courts
of the United States from the Supreme
Court of the Nation down. Commits
sioner Ellis asked il the decisions did
rot show that the Court of ATpeals had
decided that canvassing boards had ju-
tiicial power Mr.. Farleigh then en-
tered upon Il long argument designed
To prove that they lid not.
MIR Farleigh was followed by r. f.
Peak. for the Democrats. Mr.. Peak
claimed that the State Board had the
right TO determine whether the returns
before the board are genuine. Some OF
the returns before this board he said,
'sare not returns at ALL
He claimed that in the case OF Knox
county where the returns We're made
under the stress of a power Oh man
damus. the board had Il right to review
and throw it ont as not being the voluilr
tary act OF the officers of election.
Mr. Peak argued that a return made
under such circumstances Was clearly
within the reyisionary powers of the
board and he asked that the board go
behind the returns and declare the vote
void
After recess Mr.. Wilson. for the Re
publicans took up the election troubles
III PASSED counties. He went rapidly
over each allegation, pointing out his
objections and declaring that none OF
the grounds given would warrant the
board in refusing to count the votes.
The question of tissue ballots was
then brought up None of these bal
lots. to which objection had been made
by the Democrats as being Of tissue,
are of tissue paper as the word is gen
orally understood.
They are printed on very thin white
paper, such rs newspapers commonly
use for the taking of proofs When held
up to the light a black mark is plainly
discernible through several folds Of the
paper.
Mr.. Wilson claimed that it was thu
duty OF the election Judges to reject the
ballots. when they were presented AMI
not wait for a number of days before
sending their charges against them.
The speaker claimed that none OF
the vote should be thrown ont on ac-
count CT the paper of which they We're
printed. for they had been accepted
by the county officials and because in
none of the cases. where the election
judges had certified against the use of
tissue ballots. had they certified that
the votes had not been properly cast.
Lewis AIcQuowen. Of Bowling Green,
for the Democrats argued that the tissue
ballots were Illegal.
The board adjourned TO $50 tomor-
row.
