President McKinley's visit to Rich

ing Of the Shubric, the frst Govern
ment vessel ever built in that city, will
show that he has No political object in

nothing political to gain by visiting

THE KENT TROLLEY WAR

The trolley war goes merrily on; this
week o battle is being waged in the
Kent county court, the question being
whether the Hawkins charter shall
be annulled. The new company has
surveyed tina route and secured the
right Of way for most Of the distance,
bat no actual building has been done.
From present indications the incolp por-
ators are depending upon securing their
capital by stock subscriptions outsid.
of the State. The circulars distributed
In Philadelphia seem to indicate that
they are resorting to certain amount
OF misstatement and exaggerstion in
order to secure the coveted subscrip-
tions. A stranger In reading this cir
cular would get the idea that there was
an enormous amount Of freight aud
passenger traffic to be provided for,
and that there is little or no competion
to be expected. This Is misleading,
for the reason that everything has been
exaggerated-ths population, imports
and exports; and. besides, there are at
present several avenues for travel and
shipmeat Of freight. The railroad car
ries the, ,gr, III bulk Of freight aud pass
sengers; this is supplemented by the
numerous steamboats, touching almost
every town along the trolley line. A
trolley road built to carry the freights
from these points to the city markets
will not meet the expectations OF in'
vestoEs, for the reason that it cannot
compete with our sailing vessels and
steamboats In carrying the more inn-
portant articles, such as grain, fertili-
zers, canned goods and many other
articles where time is not an important
element. AS for fruits and trucks they
will still go by railroad, as by this they
can be sent directly through to the
cities, without charge or delay. Still
there is class Of logical freights which
the trolley might carry, and undoubted-
ly the business would grow. In this
prospectus, too, the populations Of the
various towns have besn almost dou,
bled; Milford AID Dover each being
set down at 5000. The next census
win not reveal many more than half
the number, and there should be no
need OF this deception.
Our citizens trust the road will be
built and win offer all the encourage
ment and assistance in their power.
but they believe that 10 inducing CAPT,
tai to take hold of the enterprise, the
honest way and the hest way would be
to present the facts as they are, and
not 10 indulge In misstatements and
rosy dreams, that cannot be realized. -

IN TIE BOtR'S COUNTRY
KIMBERLEY AND RHODES ARE
STILL SAFE.
About 1000 British Troops With
Eighteen Guns Now Near Estcourt
Gen. Sir Redvers Buffers Plans.

NEW YORK, November ia Tri-
bune cable from London, dated NoVem-
Der 10th, a. m, says: From Ladys-
smith there is again no news this
morning, and apparently events are
COnspring to await the arrival of the
British troops. The British strength
near Estcourt must by this time be fully
II 600 men, with at least eighteen guns,
and a few hours may see the beginning
of an advance to relieve Ladysmith.
His distribution of forces serves to
indicate that the situation at Lady
smith cannot be regarded by General
Butler as critical for otherwise he
would not have detained so large a
force at Cape Town. The deduction
which the most thoughtful military eX
perts make from details of the dis
embarkation of army corps is that Gen
eral Butler is recasting the original
scheme of organization for the sake of
securing an efficient column for the re-
| lief of Ladysmith without disarranging
| completely the general plan of cam
| paign, and that by the end of the week
the column in lower Natal will be de-
| fcient in cavalry alone.
! LONDON, November ia dispatch
! to the Daily Mail, dated at Kimberley,
! Friday November 10th, by way of Cape
! Town, reports an exchange of artillery
| with the Beers that morning, no dam
| age being done to the town. Subse-
| gently an armored train went toward

| the Beers, after which it returned to
! Kimberly in safety
ESTCOURT, November 16.--10 A. NJ.
A missionary, a native but a reliable
man, who arrived here yesterday from
Ladysmith reports that a big fight took
place there on Friday, November 10th.
| He says that volunteers went out in
the early morning and drew the enemy
from their position into a fiat, where
the regular troops, under Sir George
White, outmaneuvered them by out
thanking the Beers, administering a
crushing defeat and inhicting great
loss. More than 200 Kaffirs, the mis-
sionary says, We're employed by the
Beers to bury their dead, and two
trains each drawn by two engines, car
ried away the wounded.
