BRITISH FOUGHT MOLLY.

London. NOV. 1.-The gloom caused
~ The British disaster at Ladysmith
was in measure relieved by today's
story giving mn account Of the heroic
stand made by the decimated battaI-
ions until their last cartridges were
gone. The British nerve was momen-
tarily shaken by Gen. Whites use of
the word "capitulate" i'm his first tele-
gram; but now that it is known that
the Gloucestcrs and Fusiliers fought
against overwhelming odds and upheld
the best traditions Of the British army.
the tension has been relieved. There is
no longer reason to fear that the loss

The details show the catastrophe in
a brighter aspect. The full battalions

northwest of Ladysmith and Lieut.. COL.
Carlton must have expected relief to
reach him or, instead Of attempting to
occupy defensive position. he would
have retraced his steps to Ladysmith
when he suffered the fatal loss of his
ammunition.
Apart from Gen. Whites statement
that the losses are very numerous.
there is nothing to indicate the extent
of them except vague report to the
effect that the soldier who brought the
news to Ladysmith said the British
dead and wounded were lying in heaps
and that hundreds needed doctors.
This. however, is hardly borne out by
the long list Of captured officers
The concluding sentence Of Gen.
Whites dispatch. relative to the safe
ty of Ladysmith. was received here
with a certain reserve. in view of the
fact that similar official assurances
were given recently at Dundee and
Glencoe. and there is intense anxiety
for further news of the reported renew
cd attack. which is not mentioned in
the official dispatches.
The calamity has served to show the
British who are their friends. The pa
b0iH 'ol!Hleul upon the splendid re-
serve Of patriotism existing in the far
away colonies and the deep seated
feeling Of friendship and sympathy Of
the great kindred nation across the At
lantic."
The Standard sums up the feeling of
the nation, saying: From the United
States and our colonies alone We hear
the voice of friendly sorrow and en-
enlargement. But that sufficies. All
others are welcome to congratulate
themselves over the misfortunes of
Great Britain"
The war office has made a welcome
to the public desire for
news. Hereafter every post office will
be open, Sunday morning, and will post
copies Of all kilograms received by the
war office UP at l A. NJ. Sunday.

MAZET COMMITTEE

: D. Crimmins' Testimony.
Hoffman, Democrat, Makes Little
Roadway in Questioning Tracy.
Crimmins Makes Interesting Observations
About Some Big Contracts.

New York, Nov. MANY witnesses

lative investigating committee. today,

terday. when he was questioned by Mr.
Mazet, Mr.. Moss. and by the Tammany
representative, Mr.. Hoffman. Gen
Tracy was asked a great number Of
things which Mr.. Hoffman had made
note of.
Mr. Hoffman began by asking Gen.
Tracy how many canal contractors
were represented by the law firm Of
Tracy Boardman & Plat. The general
replied that so far as he knew the firm
had no canal contractors as clients.
Then Mr.. Hoffman attempted To show
that Broker Chapman. to whom Cen
Tracy sold his stock in the Ramapo
Water Coz. was the same Chapman
who refused 10 answer questions Of the
Senatorial investigating committee at
Washington and for which Chapman
was sent To Jail. Gen. Tracy reiterated
his statement that they We're not the
same Chapmans at all. Mr. Hoffman
then. keeping Chapman in mind, tried
to question Gen. Tracy about details Of
the Senatorial committees inVestiga-
ton. This seemed to nettle Gen. Tracy
and he replied with some Indignation:
Now | stop right here. l am not
going to be party to any school for
scandal about something that is rele-
want to nothing here. | am astounded
that the committee permits such a
course Of examination"
Several questions We're asked by Mr
Hoffman which Gen. Tracy thought
out Of the province Of the committee,
and when he asked MT. Mazet. Indirect
~. if it was not going too far. the
chairman agreed. Mr.. Hoffman imme-
diately brought up the point Of party
partiality and Gen. Tracy settled the
by freely answering the qucs-
tons.
As Gen. Tracy finished his testimony.
Mr.. MaZet asked him if he cared to say
Turning slowly to .hr com

brother by the Third Avenue Railroad

ing that Mr.. Croker went to the Con-
solidated Gas Co, when Amsterdam

from me that Mr.. MaZet is robber
Only a robber would introduce Il bill

Mr.. Croker was then shown a copy
of the statement made by Gen. Tracy
before the MaZet committee that if
Mr.. Croker had said. though Gen.
Tracy did not believe he had, that the
firm Of Tracy. Boardman & Plat had

Mr.. Croker with emphasis. Then he
continued II don't think Gen. Tracy

the firm put him to sleep. Gen. Tracy
is nice old man and | don't want to
say anything against him. but he does
not know everything that is going on.
He is getting old and does not know
that he is alive. He is only in the firm
