formerly commanded by Gen. Symons,
and, since his wound, commanded by
Gen. Yule, was falling back on Lady
smita by way of the Helpmar road,
Beth and the valleys of the Wash
bank and Sunday rivers, and was ex-
pected to reach Sunday river valley to-
day
"The enemy was discovered about
seven miles out of Ladysmith in po
sition OF exceptional natural strength,
west of the road When he saw that
preparations were being made against
him, he opened fire with one gun. with
great accuracy.
Our artillery soon got into stro0y
position. Our troops were ordered to
occupy a strong ridge, parallel to the
enemy's position, but nearer the road.
Il confined my efforts to occupying
him and hitting him hard enough to
prevent his taking action against
YuleS column. Numbers of the enemy
fed to the west, and the firing had
practically ceased at two o'clock"

C. w. CHAPMAN DEAD.
We'll Known Bostonian Dies Suddenly
of Heart Failure.

Boston, Oct 24-George w. Chapman,
senior deacon of fremont Temple Bap-
fist church, dropped dead in front of
the Granary burying ground on Ire
mont street, at 1885, today His death
was due to heart failure.
The deacon was not feeling well last
night, being afflicted with choking
sensation. This morning he felt better
and went to Boston as usual, although
his family tried hard to persuade him
to remain at home.
About 1910 Deacon Chapman left his
office and rode down in the elevator to
the street floor.
He called upon the assistant super
intendent of the Temple, Charles Sta
cey, and chatted pleasantly a few mo-
ments. He said as he left Superintend-
ent Stacey, Il am going to the Sub
way to take a car, and 1 will be back
later"
He then went out on to the sidewalk
in front of the Temple, stood a mo-
ment, and then crossed the street in
front of the fremont building. He
passed a pleasant good morning with
several acquaintance as he walked
along. When near the gate of the
Granary burying ground, the old gen.
tleman was seen to stagger. throw up
both hands, and with a violent clutch
at his left side fall to the sidewalk.
A crowd quickly gathered. Patrol
men Barry Eustis and Ready of Sta
tion were soon at hand. A messen-
ger was sent to the Temple and a tele-
phone message was given to the Emer-
gency hospital When the physician
arrived, he said Deacon Chapman was

CLOSER COOPERATION.
Universalists VIII Hence
forth Strive to Work With
Unitarians.

Boston, Oct. 24.-The biennial session
made notable today by the adoption of
the report of the committee recon-
mendlng a conference with the Ameri-
can Unitarian association to consider
plans for closer cooperation of the two
bodies. The proposition came from the
Unitarians in the form of resolutions,
and these resolutions We're freely dis
cussed at the morning session and sub
sequently adopted.
The election of officers followed and
Buffalo was selected for the next meet
ing of the convention. The practice OF
loaning money to students, which has
resulted in a large deficit was dis
cussed at the afternoon session, and
the gift system revoked. In the eve
ming a handsome sum was raised for
Japan missions.
There was a free discussion at the
afternoon session on the report of the
committee on supplies on the out
standing indebtedness of $1,000. The
committee showed that the amount was
due, almost entirely from students, the
money having been advanced in part
payment OF tuition. Most of those who
took part III the discussion condemned
the practice of the committee i'll al
vancing funds, and it was claimed that
tho loan system had failed. One of the
members OF the committee, however,
stated that recently the money ad-
vanced 20 students had been made in
the form of gifts instead of loans. It
was also claimed that number Of min
listers, after being ordained, had ne
elected to pay the money back to the
conference.
Some business of minor Importance
was Their completed, after which the
convention then adjourned until eve
ming There was a good attendance at
the evening meeting with the incentive
of a number of earnest speeches several
thousand dollars were raised for the
benefit of the Japan mission. Rev. Geo.
l.. Perrin presided, DIR. Chas. P. Fluh-
rer of Albion, N. Y, conducting the de-
votional exercises. The subject Of the
evening was "Our forward movement"

different parts of the world spoke OF
their individual work. The principal ad-
dresses were by Rev. Chas. E. Nash,

RUSSIA WILL ARsITRATE.
Charlemagne Tower Wins Diplomatic
Victory Relative to Boring SeaIers.

Charlemagne Tower Wins Diplomatic
Victory Relative to Berins SeaIers.
London, Oct 24-Russia has at last
agreed to arbtrate with the United
States claims resulting in the seizure
of sealers in Bering sea, which have
been pending for about eight years. A
protocol between the two governments
has beep drawn up, the final formalities
are expected to be concluded next
month, and the arbitration will prob
ably take a form similar to that of
the Venezuelan court.
Russia's agreement to arbitrate the
Boring sea claims is a source of great
satisfaction to the United States am
bassador to Russia, Charlemagne Tow
er, who is stopping in London on his
way to st. Petersburg. He said to
representative of the Associated Press:
'rhe relations between Russia and the
United States were never more close or
friendly than today The only differ
ence existing between the two nations
is now sure of settlement on lines SINH
lar to the Venezuela arbitration. I re-
turn to st. Petersburg on Saturday and
the finishing touches will then be put
upon the agreement"
Mr.. Tower was questioned regarding
the frequent publication in British
newspapers of the rumor that Russia
intends to take advantage of the
Transvaal war by aggression upon |
British territory. He said: Natural |
ly, it is impossible for me to speak of |
Russias policy toward Great Britain, |
even if I knew anything. But l can |
say most emphatically that Russias |
attitude toward the United States is not |
prejudiced by our friendship for Great |
Britain" 1t was inferred that Mr. |
Tower did not put much faith in the
reports of a Franco Rus
sian active alliance against Great
Britain.

mission. All her relations are to be
jealousy watched. No pastor can afford
to neglect, under any pretence what
ever, this precious charge. All must be
fed and made to grow. The ministers
were then expected to nourish the
church and promote its growth and in
fluence. 1t is gravely doubted if it is
wise or just to hide a minister's slovenly
style of pulpit work a work disgrace
fully void of accuracy in statement and
lacking a conscientious preparation.
1T seems incomprehensible that
man in love with his work, in league
with Christ, and sensible to the awful
demand for a conspicuous exalting of
Christ can be poor preacher. He may
lack rhetorical finish, logical incisive-
ness, strong sermonic constructiveness
elegance of diction, but with his heart
full of love and in command of the re-
spect of the church he must be a good
preacher and useful man.
Such a man the churchs health re-
quires. He must be every inch a man,
an out and out true man. If the spirit
of God places such man over a church
his judgment can be relied on as to the
instrumental ability of that pastor to
do his work we'll The people want food
good sweet food on the Lords day.
TO FEED THE CHURCH.
What is it to feed the church? II is
to spread an ample supply of the right
kind and quality Of soul food, to thor
oughly nourish all the members By pru-
dent service of what God wants served.
1--WE cannot graduate from depend
ence on God. 1t is his flock we mast
feed 1t is his food we must furnish.
It is his plan that we shall confine our
selves to feeding the flock. A minister
is therefore responsible for the p9rtic-
ular work and all il involves, for which
God gave him the church as trust
The pastor cannot break seasoned,
nutritious food by a mere Intellectual

BATTLE IMMINENT.
Beers Outnumbsr British BY Ratio
of Three to One.

London, Oct. 25.-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail ;ele-
graphing yesterday at 9.45 p. nj. says
by a swift march to the south leav-
ing Glencoe empty, a union was ef-
fected with the forces of Sir George
Stewart north of Ladysmith
THE two are now in a position to
offer battle. I believe the first ATTACK
will be made on the Orange Free Stale
force which entered Natal by way of
Tintwa Pass, and which has since been
harrassng Ladysmith. The military
authorities decided that, by joining
their forces, the two generals would be
better able to cope with one large force
at time than by having two small
detachments to oppose simultaneously
two big Boer forces.
Accordingly. after the defeating of
the Free State troops they win offer
battle TO Commandant Gen. Joubert.
Only forty miles now separate the two
Boer forces. The two sections Of the
Boer army, together outnumber the en-
tire British force by three to one Hard
fighting is certain at a very early date
Our men are confident and there IS
much enthusiasm.
The lighting today outside Lady
smith was mere brush. The losses
on neither side was significant. It was
merely an artillery duel, in which the
Beers came off decidedly the worse"

Ladysmith Saturday morning and cap

toward Waschbank. He expected to
unite with Gen. Yule in the neighbour
hood Of Waschbank tonight, so his
fight with the Orange Free State troops
today must have occurred nearly %
miles out from Ladysmith, and as it
took place on the Ladysmith-New
Castle road, which runssso two miles
west and almost parallel with the rail-
road, he evidently encountered the
Free State force which had taken up
a position in the Biggarsberg hills and
blocked the road between Ladysmith
and Glencoe, also threatening Gen.
Yule's flank. The disposal Of the

where churches were most needed, just
where they would stand in boldest con-

TT seems to me, with the bishops of
the Ephesian church before him, and
his possible personal persecution to CON
front, Paul thought more keenly than
ever about the result of all his self
sacrificing work. To get the best posi-
bic results from the men in whose care

them three things. 1.-The fidelity of
