to give himself utterly away. Another, in
vested with awful. legal dignity. Was parti-
ceps crimmiS when sought, ana instead OF
defending, laid bare his arm with his
brother Blackstone. Amid the caballstlc
plotting against the lnnocents stood one
from the tripod, not armed with stick and
roller, but from the wit and wisdom Of the
road" piled on the agony too. Another,
high in municipal affairs, made onslaught
anon our peace of mind. What a beautiful
fash in tbs pan when these victims
marched serenely by, just at the grand
moment, with the expectant crowd, at the
court house, as decledly sold as ever graced
the earth.

that, in the absence OF cavalry, he would
be compelled to advance slowly, and he
has a preference for night or early dawn
attacks, which events seem to have
justified, the Beers being decidedly adj
verse to darkness for their operations.
The fact that in the Gras Pan action
one British battery fired 800 rounds
proves the desperate nature of the fight,
and there is no doubt the casualties were
great
1t is now developed no guns were cap
tured in the Belmont engagement.
Meantime the news from Natal is dis
tinctly more hopeful from the British
point of view. The details are rather
vague, but it seems certain that the Beers
are retiring, that railway communication
is being reopened and that the British
relief forces are joining hands.
This, taken with Gen. Buffers arrival
at Pietermaritzburg, Is expected to make
matters move briskly very soon.
Gen. Hildyard's reconnaissance is
praised as work of very great difficulty
admirably executed.
The troopship Medis arrived at Cape
Town yesterday with the Australian con-
tingents. The Pindari and the Daho ar
rived there Saturday, bringing three bat
teries Of artillery.
The Servia, with troops, has left Cape
Town for Durham, and the transports
Mohawk and Manchesterport have ar
rived at Durham.
The utmost activity prevails in getting
war necessaries ready for the front Five
thousand men worked all day yesterday
Sunday at Woolwich arsenal preparing
stores. The arsenal employees, now num-
bering $4,000 have been warned that they
need not expect holidays at Christmas
tide.
Among minor items of news is a ru-
NOR that President Kruger is suffering
with Bright's disease and that his con-
dition is giving rise to anxiety.
Five hundred Beers attacked Thurman
in Bechuanaland, on Nov 10. The fight
ing lasted almost continuously for six
| days and nights, but the Beers were
finally beaten off with a loss of thirty
killed and twenty-eignt wounded The
! British lost one killed and one wound
cd. The Beers suddenly disappeared for
some reason unknown to the British.
Despite the brighter outlook today the
| Times, in it's review of the situation
voices the anxiety felt and says
1.-The activity the Beers display al
points separated by hundreds of miles
their ability to invest several towns. their
| readiness to offer battle at Belmont and
again at Gras Pan, their widespread
operations south of Orange River and
their bold and offensive action in Natal
seem to indicate numbers far in excess Of
our estimates. 1t is clear that the
military requirements were at first great
ly underestimate and that a sixth d.
vision ought Immediately to be prepared
for embarkation."
This coming from the hitherto optimis-
tic Times is significant.

ADVANCE IN DIAMONDS.
Cost in the Rough Increased by the
BOer War.

New York Tribune.
That the cost of diamonds in the rough
has been affected already by the trouble
in the TransVaal seems to be an assured
fact, judging from information received
from number Of prominent importers of
the stones in this city. That the general
public will have to pay a much larger
price for the cut jewels seems, however,
TO be open to reasonable doubt The
leading retailers say that the advance,
If any, will be slight, and they cite the
fact of a good supply as the reason for
that way of thinking. Several prominent
retailers who were asked yesterday said
that there are enough diamonds in New
York and throughout the country to meet
any demand that may arise. The adj
Vances that have already been made, &C
cording to one of the most reliable deal
ers in the city, is small as compared with
the increased cost of other articles, and
is explained by the ordinary increase in
cost OF all goods at a time of general
prosperity when the demand Is increas-
ing
Among wholesalers there is an inclna-
ton to look at the far future possibilities
rather than at actual conditions suggest
ed by the present For instance. one
man went so far as to make his deduction
depend entirely upon the fall Of Kimber-
ley, and he argued entirely from the
standpoint that the mines had pass q into
foreign hands. Another man said that
diamonds would surely reach a piice that
would be prOhibitive as far as the general
public is concerned, because he believed
that the war would not be a matter Of
months, but of years.

SALTWATER.
New Warden of the Prison Intro
duced to His Wards.

Gen. c. Nee. Reeve, the new warden of
the state prison, was yesterday intro
duced to the inmates of the prison, the
rather impressive event occurring imme
diately after service in the chapel. War
den Wolfer was present at the service, as
was also Gen. Reeve, and as soon as
Chaplain Kennedy had concluded his
sermon Warden Wolfer stepped up and
introduced Gen. Reeve as follows:
Il have but a few words to say to you
at this time inasmuch as l have not yet
reached the enc of my term. We have
with us today, however, my successor,
who will be warden Of this prison after
the first of next month, and having
known him for more than five years as
man and public officer, I can say that I
have much faith in his ability. 1 am
glad to say that he possesses the char
acteristics of man that will enable him
to reach the level of justice. There is
no such thing as human justice, it is
divine and, if any of US have come near
to it, we can truthfully say that we have
done we'll. ] regret very much that the
time is approaching when 1 will have 70
leave this institution, irasmuch as there
are many confined behind these walls in
whom [ have great interest, and althOCah
my work will carry me elsewhere l desire
to say that ] am not going to forget
them. I bespeak for my successor the
same cheerful! obedience you have ac-
corded me and if you DC I know that my
successor will treat you we'll"
Mr. Wofer then introduced Gen. Reeve,
who spoke in part as follows:
ITO follow a successful man, while 1t
is an occasion that requires the best that
IS IN mans nature, is difficult. and to fol-
low good man is dOubly difficult, and
to follow a man possessed of both of
these qualities is exceptionally difficult.
The man whom l am to follow as warden
of this institution is known throughout
the length and breadth of the land as
one who has devoted the best part of
his life to 4 study that is receiving great
deal of attention from the best men in
this and other countries and who has
made a success of the task he has under
taken To follow him is indeed e. difficult
task, but I think I may say In justice
to myself that in studying his career 1
have learned some things which will be
of great benefit to me as warden of this
prison. You are living here under a set
of rules, the product not only of your
own warden, but others who have made
prison work study. These rules are just
and farreaching and they apply to you
and to me. The only thing l can do is
to observe these rules as I would have
you do. This is recognized throughout
the country rs a II odel penal institution
Tie work Mr.. Wolfer has done has re-
ceived much commentator and # I sue
coed as we'll there can be no ground for
complaint. I promise you even-handcd
justice to all I am here under no obllga-
tons to any man. I did not seek this po-
sition and I promise you that if you will
treat me fairly I will treat you fairly
The remarks of Gen. Reeve We're re-
ceiVed by the inmates with applause.

advanced pickets of the Beers were reach
ed in the small hours of the morning.
The West Yorkshires were moving
stealthily along and were within bayonet
strike when a nervous private fired his
rifle This warned the Beers and they
fled. The Yorkshires charged as best
they could, clearing the Beers from the
final position just at daybreak, with
three ringing cheers. The Beers rallied
and attempted to ride the British down
but when the bugle sounded the charge
and the British responded with cheers the
enemy fled, and the position was won
The Beers left heaps of guns, ammuni-
ton, rifles and blankets, as well as thir-
ty horses. The British took several pris-
oners.
The object of the reconnaissance, which
was to prevent the enemy taking up GER
tain positions which overlooked Estcourt,
having been attained, the column grad
ually retired to camp, while the artillery
and some infantry held Beacon hill. The
British losses are estimated at eight kill
ed and forty-two wounded"
