Washington, Dec. 5.--The caucus of

PAYING DEARLY FOR WAR
Sentiment Along This Line is
Growing in London.
WOMEN LOSING HEART:
Each Day Brings Fresh Mourning In
to British Homes-Effects of the
TransvaaI War Being Felt Seriously
BY the Poor--Last Battle Not so Fa.
tai as First Reported.

London, Dec. 0.-The prevailing senti-
ment daily growing stronger here is
that we are paying very dearly for the
war.
A letter written by a member of the
royal family to lady whose son is
in the Coldstreams with the Orange
River column, and is thus in the thick
of the fight, has just been made public
In 1T His Elighness says: "All these
Victories sound very grand as heoric
encounters and proofs of British pluck,
but they are small from the practical
military point of view. No victories
are great where guns have not been
captured. We have taken no cannon
from the enemy.
More guards have started. which will
further empty London of desirable men
in the society point Of view.
Ladies are beginning to lose heart rs
they see each Iay bringing fresh
mourning into new families. Hunt balls
and country house parties are being
put off in numbers. which points to the
coming winter as one OF unrecorded
dulness. The hunting fields are shorn os
their most brilliant riders. In these
and thousand o,her ways the pinch
of war has been felt more keenly eacn
day.
SO much for the rich. The poor ais"
feel the war very seriously, for it is al
most impossible this winter to get or
dinary subscriptions to the usual relief
funds. People just say. I'VE can't give
this year, for we have to subscribe all
we can afford to tie war funds" This
can easily be ina gined by looking at
the enormous sums raised throughout
the country.

List of British Losses.

London, Dec. 5.--The War once has
given out the official list of the British
killed and wounded at the battle OF

This comparatively small number
created wide astonishment. There were
at least 5000 English engaged. NJ tie

killed and wounded and POS missing. III
All. At ElandslaagIe fight about 800
English were enga ged and the losses
were 26i killed and wounded. At Lady

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 5.--With
flags floating in the breeze above the
National Capitol, the White House and
other public buildings. the city filled
with lawmakers from every state In
the Union, and the galleries crowded
with spectators, Congress opened Tor
the session of '99-19O0. The throng OF
spectators, as usual was at the capltoi
early and the scramble for the pest
seats from which to watch the open
ing proceedings, was fierce from the
time the doors opened until the gai-
lerics were completely filled. There was
nowhere near sufficient seating. capac-
ity or standing room to accommodate
those who wished to grace the occasion
with their presence, and in consequence
of this there were many who had TO
content themselves with waiting until
the newspapers could tell them what
had happened within the halls or con-
gress on the opening day.
Out of respect to the memory OF the
late Vice President Hobart the pro-
ceedings in both the House and Senate
were made as brief as possible and
after the swearing in of members ana
the allotment OF seats an adjournment
was taken until Tuesday. The drawing
for seats in the House was ATTENDED
with all it's usual amusing features.
The elite OF the city and the nation
