MORE TROOPS ARRIv
Threc TroopChips Reach Cape Town
with 3676 British Soldiers.

London, Nov. lit is officially an
nounced that the troopships Yorkshire,
Livermore Castle and Aurania have ar
rived at Cape Town with 3676 troops.
The two steamers first named immedi-
ately proceeded to Durham. 1t is sup
posed the Aurania's troops will be landed
at Cape Town.
The advance to the relief of Gen.
White can hardly start for several days,
and. in the meantime, whatever happens
at Ladysmith, little news is likely to
reach London. The lull gives the oppor-
tunity for discussion of Great Britain's
political and military position. 1t is be-
ginning to be asked whether, looking at
the present experience, the British army
is equal to the national needs. Lieut.
Col. Sir Wolfe Barry Of the engineer
and railroad volunteer staff corps says:
I'm military matters Great Britain is
trading with insufficient capital. She
ought to add 100000 men to her army

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Beers Who Fire ON a White Flag will
Receive No Quarter.

Durham, Nov. 1.-THE government has
received letters from Col. Schiel, the Ger
man officer captured at Elandslaagte, in
behalf Of the Hollander prisoners, ex-
pressing gratitude FOR their kind and hui
name treatment. The Beers and British,
he says, are treated exactly alike. The
colonel further, expresses his apprecia-
ton of the civility and humanity of the
British authorities at Ladysmith and
PietermaritZburg.
bert has received high credit for the con-
sideration ne has shown British officers
and men who have fallen into his hands
and also for his obvious desire to miti-
gate as far as possible the horrors of
war. In the present case firing on a
white flag was so absolutely without OBJ
ject that it is hoped that it may have
been due to a misconceptiOn, but it is
pointed out that similar ACTS on the part
of the Beers, is mentioned in a recent
cable, undoubtedly took place in the war
of 1SSO-'S1, when Gen. Cronje used the
white flag treacherously to seize Potchef-
stroom.
1t is supposed that Gen. White has al
ready made strong representations to
practice is stopped British troops ulti-
mately will refuse quarter to Beers really
wishing to lay down their arms.
Aliwal North Defenseless.
Maseru, Basutoland, Tuesday, Nov. Z.
The latest advices are that the Beers
had not entered Aliwal North yesterday
evening, but the Besstekral force OF
Beers was momentarily expected. 1t is
said the Beers have already captured
some police and others on the outskirts
of the place and that Aliwal North is de-
serted and defenseless.
The railroad has been cut At Vryburg,
two stations south Of Aliwal North. An
other Boer force is reported to have
marched past Burghersdorp, towards
Queenstown.
The Transvaal contingent which was
expected to join the Free Staters between
Springfontein and Bethulie is reported to
be delayed by want of horses.

TAMPERED WITH TRACKS.
English Armored Train Finds Rails
Ont of GanEe Near ColensO.

Estcourt, Natal, Tuesday, Nov. An
armored train manned by an engineer
ing staff and company of the Dublin
fusileers under Capt. Hensley returned
here tonight. 1t reports that it found
the stores at Frere looted, apparently
by Kafiirs, and met cyclist patrols who
reported that the Beers were on the
Springfield road, FIVE miles away. The
train proceeded cautiously, and found the
Bluespruit bridge intact. The train fire.
quently stopped and Capt. Hensley ex-
amined the road ahead before proceeding.
Nearing Colenso, Capt. Hensley inspect
ed Fort Nicholson, and, proceeding,
found the line cut a mile south of Colen-
so. Two lengths of the rail on each
line had been lifted and placed out of
gauge.
From information obtained from KAT
frs, it appears that the Beers left the Vi
entity of Colenso early this morning, pro-
ceeding in the direction of Buluwan
mountain, and that Capt. Hensley found
Colenso absolutely deserted.
A balloon was observed for several
minutes lowering over the Boer positions
in the mountains. 1t was, presumably, a
British balloon from Ladysmith.
The natives here are undertaking the
safe delivery Of dispatches inside Lady
smith.

yer, Leon Hornstein, will get $1,000. Ida
Sutterlin also gets the same amount.
This clause was scratched out, but Beck
er seemed to have changed his mind and
put it back again. Tothe eldest daugh-
ter of his brother-in-law, Joseph Zeidler,
he bequeathed $500. The remainder is
to go to his sisters, Mrs. Marie Zeidler
and Mrs. Anna Solick. His sister-in-
law, Augusta Schuette, is given all his
effects now in the county Jail. w. |. Da-
Wis and James Smith, clerks in the coun-
ty Jail, are made witnesses to the will.
which he signed with firm hand. John
Patzer OF Ravenswood is made executor.
The $1,000 insurance from the lodge
Becker belonged to goes to his lawyer,
while the money he claims to have in
Germany is what the legatees will get.

WRECKED INHURRICANE
Captain and Ten of the Crew Of
the Schooner Bird Perish
Two Survive.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 11.-News has
been received here that the Philadelphia
schooner William NJ Bird, from Charles
ton, S. c., to New London, Conn, was
wrecked in the hurricane off the Frying
Pan shoals, North Carolina, and ten Of
the crew, including Capt. Barrett, per-
ished.
Two survivors, George w. Loud, the
mate, and George Robinson, seaman,
have been landed at Salisbury, Nd. by
the schooner Samuel t. Beachem, from
Jacksonville, Fla. which vessel rescued
them on the afternoon Of November 3,
twenty-nine miles southwest Of the Fry
ing Pan lightship.
The survivors had been without food or
water for ninety hours and suffered great
hardships. having chewed the leather of
their shoes to keep from starving. They
have not recovered sufficiently to tell just
how their comrades persisted, but they
state in an incoherent manner that the
lost men were swept off one by one from
the wreck as their strength grew weaker
and drowned.
The William M. Bird, as Capt. John
Steelman, master of the Beacham, states,
became waterlogged at IL p. II. on Octo-
Der 80 and was complete wreck five
minutes afterward.

The British loss was slight. Thursday
Smelling by heavy gun was renewed
and the Beers massed with the intention
of making an attack, but this was pre-
vented by thunderstorm. Friday there
was desultory rife fire and an occasional
shell, but there was little loss OF life,
due to the excellence of the shelter in
the trenches. The health and spirits Of
the troops are good.

Why American Brewers will Not Ex

New York. Nov. 11.--Senator w. e.
Mason OF Illinois of the United States
Senate committee Oh manufactures be-
gan the session of the committee here to-
day. The subject of today's examina-
ton was the adulteration of beer, ale
and porter.
Only two witnesses were called They
were Gallus Thomann of the local beer
brewers association and Prof Herbert
W. Hart. Mr.. Thomann said that the
brewers Of the United States are much
opposed to any adulteration of beer. and
spoke of the dissemination of the brew
crs te send exhibits to the Forthcoming
Paris exposition. They argued, he said,
that without using preservatives it would
be impossible for them to send beer that
would compete with the product of local
brewers.
Questioned by Senator Mason, Mr..
Thomann said he believed that the for
eign beers imported here in bottles was
preserved by antiseptic, probably salicy-
lie acid: Referring to Bavarian beers.
Mr. Themann said the sale Of beer so
preserved is forbidden in Bavaria, but
there was no law preventing the preser-

CUTS INTO PROFITS.
Recent Drop In the Se11iaE Price of
Lake Copper.

Heughton, Mich. Nov. 1.-THE recent
drop of ~ cents pound in the selling
price of lake copper means lessening Of
the annual profits Of the Calumet and
Hecla mine to the amount OF about ST.
$4,000. The loss is not a serious one.
however, for the Calumet and Hecla,
even with it's profits thus grievously cur
tailed, will remain the most profitable
mine ia the world, earning profits each
year seven times as great as the total
amount Of money required in developing
the mine.
The best mines Of the lake district are
making copper around Z to 8 cents a
pound, which, with copper selling at II
cents pound, means a profit of to 10
cents pound, or more than 100 per cent.
Copper at Is cents or better is high, and
there seems every reason to believe that
Is cents or more will be obtained for sew
eral years to come.

Water that Does Not Rust

A curious phenomenon is that metal
never rusts in the waters Of Lake Tit
caca, in South America. You can throw
in a chain or an anchor or any article of
ordinary iron and let it lie for weeks,
and when you haul it up it will be as
clean and bright as when it came from
the foundry. And, what is stranger still,
rust that has been formed upon metallic
rseS in ts mi Tb on wnen I'M
noticed by railway and steamship men.
Rusty car wheels and rails, and even
machinery, can be frightened by soaking
them in the waters of Lake Titicaca.

SALISBURY'S SPEECH.
How it is Received and How it 10 In
terpreted.

terpreted.
Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE newspapers print
Lord Salisbury's speech in full, and most
ly without special comment. The fact
is pointed to that the United States
heads the list of foreign countries with
which good relations exist.
The reference to Germany gives salts
faction, and especially the admission that
she had greater interests in Samoa than
England.
The omission of any special reference
to France and Russia in speaking Of the
relations of foreign countries eXcites re-
mark, and the announcement that inter-
ference would not be tolerated is regard
ed as shaking his fist at them.
Viewed i'm London.
London, Nov. 1.-THE utterances of
the Chronicle and other proBoer papers
here, which translate Lord Salisbury S
declaration last night that England does
not seek the gold fields territory as
meaning that England will not annex the
Transvaal at the conclusion of the war,
are warmly criticised. The Tory evening
papers already violently deny the COR
rectness of this view and argue that
Lord Salisbury merely meant that Great
Britain had not entered on the conflict
for the sake of territorial advancement,
but that he did not mean that territorial
changes would not result. The general
opinion here undoubtedly favors some
form of annexation that shall imply
Boer disarmament and an effective estab-
lishment of British ascendancy.
