UNREST In ENGLAND
SILENCE AS TO RESULTS OF RE-

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW

Families of Soldiers Are AnxiOusIy
Awaiting Good or Bad Reports
From the FrOnt-RumOred Relief
of Kimberley Not Credited in Lon
dOn-Gen. Methuen Thought to
Have Been Reinforced.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-Absolute silence has
fallen over affairs in South Africa. The
war office has not yet received Lord Me
thuen's casualty list. The public and
press, hitherto patient, are beginning to
murmur at the apparently needless delay
which keeps many families in a state Of
painful suspense.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Lord Methuen has been reinforced
by half "a battalion of the Gordon High
l&nders, a regiment of cavalry and
battery of artillery, and that De Aar is
being daily reinforced by troops to hold
the lines of communication. It is sup
posed that the Natal advance has been
Delayed by the necessity Of getting sup
plies to Pietermaritzburg; but not word
emanates frora any of the various COM
mands.
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Charles Mansfield
Clarke, who, as already announced, will
command the Sixth division, has seen
much service in South Africa, particu-
larry in the Zulu and subsequent wars
He has also held number of high staff
appointments at home, and is reputed to
be very capable officer.
While the rulnors of the relief of Kim
berley, current on the stock exchange to-
day, may be premature in their literal
sense, there seems no doubt that the pres
sure on the garrison has been much light
ened by Gen. Methuen's successes, and
the actual relief of the place is likely to
be fact very soon.
A clue to the urgent reasons which die
tated Gen. Methuen's hurried march may
be found in Gov. Miners hint to the re-
lief committee ct Cape Town to prepare
for the reception of 10000 refugees, indi-
eating that the garrison must have had
reason to fear for the reduction of KIM
berley by starvation and disease.

SUNSTROKE TO BLAME.
Novel Plea for Mercy to Croker
jim" Brady.

Zebulon S. Skinner, who pleaded gull
ty to having robbed the jewelry store OF
Eustis Bros, was sentenced to five
months confinement in the county jail
The case of James Brady, alias Broker
Jim" who acted as the pal and go-be-
tween for the sale of the jewelry stolen
by Skinner, and who was convicted last
week, came up on d motion for sentence
and he was remanded pending the argu-
ments on the motion for new trial.
A number of affidavits were submitted
in the Brady case, going to show that
since early boyhood he has been per
son of feeble intellect and possessing ut
tie or no mental discernment. One of
the depositions by his brother, sets forth
that in early manhood he suffered from
sunstroke. which so affected his brain
as to make him incapable of determining
the quality or character OF his actions.
Michael Sullivan, who was convicted of
holding up Larry Bennett and robblng
him of $40 was sentenced to six years
in the penitentiary, and Francis j. Ri
ley. his partner in crime, was given hVe

the voyage of the transport between this
port and Honolulu. He says that ten
men deserted the vessel at Honolulu, and
but two of the vacancies could be filled
before the departure Of the vessel from
Honolulu. According to Burns the trans
port leaked three days after leaving port
and the condenses broke down. The re-
frigerating plant collapsed before the YES

the ships carpenter, who was called into
consultation regarding the condition OF
the vessel, was one Of those who desert

lower staterooms was awash, and that
he was compelled to seek berth in the

BELITTLED IN BERLIN
MIR. CIIAMBERLAIN's ASSERTION
THAT A TRIPLE ALLIANCE ~
EXISTS
GOOD FEELING IS DESIRED

Beyond That Germany Has No De-
sire for an Alliance With Great
6ritain-Does Not Wish to Fight
Other Peoples BattIes-France
Takes the Threats of Mr.. Cham
berIain Seriously.
BERLIN, Dec 1.-The use of +be word
alliance" in Mr.. Chamberlain's sneecb
at Leicester has caused a general A11t-
! ter in the German press. The chauviniet
organs protest vigorously The Kreuz
Zeitung, the organ of the military party
comments with scorn and INDIGNATION.
other journals, including the Lokal An
| zegler, assert that the meeting of Count
Won Buelow and Mr. Chamberlain. in
London, was productive of results cal
culated to smooth away some difficulties
which had arisen in colonial questions.
but that no alliance exists although the
conference between the German and Brit
ish statesmen at Windsor castle left an
equally good impression upon all. AS
bearing upon this the Lokal Anzegier
adds:
Germany and Great Britain are
guided by the same sincere wish 10 re-
move, in a friendly manner, occasional
subordinate differences. AT the same time
Germany does not intend to fight other
peoples battles"
The Vossische Zeitung says:
I'VE also wish to see Germany. Great
Britain and the United States cooper
ating in all essential questions Of world
policy"
Lord Rosebery, speaking at Edinburgh,
this evening, deprecated Mr. Chamber
lain's reference to France in his speech
at Leicester, and said
we have no right TO go into the gut
tiers and fish up the derelict press Of
any country and hold it up to scorn
as motive of our policy. 1t Is impos-
sible that the queen could be besrnirched
by such attacks, which only recoiI on
the attackers and whatever the degraded
OutGurst may mean, it does not represent
the best of highest opinion of France.
We have ever been ready TO fout
other nations and it is no wonder Great
Britain is unpopular abroad. We trust
that this undiplomauc frankness will
cease, for these singing words rankle
long afterward, and 1t is not for states
men to speak under the passing irritation
of the moment"
FRAME TALKS BACK. ......
PARIS, Dec. L-Some OF the news
papers attach considerable Importance to
the utterances of Joseph Chamberlain at
Leicester yesterday. and consider that
they show that Emperor Williams visit
to England was partially political. The
majority, however characterize certain Of
Mr.. Chamberiains declarations as e1upty
threats. and regard the suggestion Of an
alliance between Great Britain the
United States and Germany as simply
eccentric The Matin observes that Mr..
Chamberlain alludes to the alliance as
an accomplished fact and as being his
work, and "seizes on the opportunity to
address threats to France. which leave us
as unmoved as does the famous prospect
of q new triple alliance"
The Journal urges the recall of Admiral
Fourniers squadron from the Levart, in
view Of eventUalities which may arise
from the present anti British campaign
in France"

NOVEMBER WEATHER.
Government Report Shows 1t Was
Mild Throughout the Country.

Mild Throughout the Country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The weather
bureau today issued the following:
The month of November was excep-
tionally mild throughout the country,
with precipitation decidedly below the
average over much the greater part The
rainfall exceeded the average, however,
from central and Northern Texas, north
ward over Oklahoma and Kansas, includ-
ing portions of Nebraska and Western
Iowa, and on the North Pacific slope, be-
ing unusually heavy along the coast of
Washington, Oregon and Northern Cali
fOrnia.
Under the very mild temperature
conditions which prevailed throughout
the month, winter wheat has rooted well,
and at the close of the month was in
excellent condition to withstand the win
ter. There are, however, considerable
complaints of damage by Hessian fly,
while in portions of Ohio and Michigan
the crop has suffered from lack Of mois
ture. Rank growth is quite generally
reported and IN Illinois and Kansas and
Oklahoma is being pastured to a consid-
cradle extent. The reports generally In
dictate increased acreage"
