LONDON, Oct. 25.-Russia, it has been
learned, has at last agreed to arbitrate
with the United States the claim result
ing from the seizure of sealers in the
Bering sea, which has been pending for
about eight years. A protocol between
the two governments has been drawn
up, the final formalities are expected TO
be concluded next month and the arbi
tration will probably take the form of
\ the Venezuelan court.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Russian
Claims mentioned in the London dis
patch originated in the seizure by the
Russian authorities off the coast of ST.
IBERIA, of three American sealing vessels,
and the damages claimed aggregated
about $3.50, 900. The vessels were the
James Hamilton Lewis. the Cape Horn
Pigeon and the G. III. White. In each
case the largest item Of the claim is on
account of the sufferings of the Ameri-

LONDON, Oct. 25.-A dispatch from
Lad yEsmith, Natal. has Just, been, re-
ceived. 1t is literal repetition of
Cape Towns Glencoe advices and it is
regarded as somewhat ominous that
something has not been received re-
garding the result, especially when
viewed in the light of Lord Wolseley's 8
statement that General Yule's force
felt it necessary to retire from Dundee
to Glencoe Junction. General Yule
evidently is in a tight corner, as he now
has or had to face the main Boer army
under General Joubert. General Sir
George Stewart White, the British
commander-in-chief in Natal, will un-
doubtedly detach part of the force,
which was victorious at Elandslaagte,
to his assistance. Such a detachment,
however, will leave Ladysmith poorly
protected against the threatened attack
from the west. Further news, there
fore, is anxiously awaited.

from the Senator later in the day and

were cheered all along the line. Each
man was decorated with flowers and

occupied by the Montana regiment will
serve to shelter the Iowans until they

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.--It is learned
that owing to the temporary character
of the settlement of the Alaska bound
ary question, there will be no meeting
of the Canadian joint high commission
in the immediate future. The COM
mission adjourned last spring, because
of the statement by the Canadian con-
tingent that they could not undertake
to adjust any of the other important
questions before the commission until
the Alaskan boundary issue was salts
factorily settled. With the boundary
issue still open, it is regarded as useless
to attempt further meetings.

NEW YORK. Oct. :5.-A dispatch
from London to The World says: The
ministers and their supporters are now
realizing that they plunged into the war
with reckless haste, and the queens
messages-in which she speaks Of
dearly bought victories" and "dread-
full loss of life," indicate with plain
ness which she has never before per-
mitted herself to indulge in under like
circumstances, her disapproval Of the
war. The British forces in Natal have
already lost in killed or wounded nearly
500 men in three days fighting.
The squadron of Hussars and the Sec
tion of mounted infantry which pur-
sued the Beers after the first fight at
Glencoe CAST Friday are still missing.
Prolongation Of the war beyond their
expectation is now regarded as certain.

i vague and varied estimates of
the Ger loss and the absence of any,
thin fficial on the subject are also
arous ny misgivings as to whether the
beaten enemy suffered proportionately
to the disastrous losses Of the victors.
One OF thu most disquieting stories
comes from Ladysmith. It is to the
effect that an Englishman who arrived
there from Dundee On Sunday evening.
after escaping through the Boer lines
Oh the previous night, said that the
enemy was then shelling the camp and
town with heavy guns, while the shells
OF the British were unable to reach the
enemys batteries. Consequently, the
man is said to have added, the camp
was shifted mile or so, in order to be
out of reach of the Beers, who were
hr.,. on the magazine in the town.

firm the Associated Press accounts and
show that Colonel Fitzclarence's squad
ron was nearly outflanked by the Beers.
The armored train was unable to assist
the squadron for fear of hitting the
British soldiers. Colonel Baden Powell
signalled to Fitzclarance to retire, but
the latter replied that he was hampered
by his wounded, could not desert them
and could not return without reinforce
ments. Lieutenant Lord Charles Ben
tinck Of the Ninth Lancers, was then
ordered with squadron to disengage

fected in good order
