A HOT TIME IN PARLIAMENT
Chamberlain fGets After the
Boer Sympathlzers In the
House of Commons.

London, Oct. 19.-Natal again claims
a share of attention which during the
last few days has been focused up
on the beleaguered garrison at Mare
hing The combine. advance of Boer
forces on the positions held by the
British general commanding in Natal,
Sir George Stewart White, has already
occasioned a sharp AFFAIR with the out
posts which has possibly since deyel-
oped into a pitched battle
TIE Beers according to the latest
information do not appear to nave
been driven back Perhaps, however,
their movements are only a part of
the general plan to isolate both Lady
smith and Glencoe from the south.
The simultaneous Boer movements
from Acton Homes on the west and
Rorkes Drift on Helpmakaar to the
east may indicate a. projected attack
upon the railway below Colenso. Inc
movement from the east also suggests
an attack on the railway at Wasch-
bank between Ladysmith and Glencoe.
Military experts are inclined to the
opinion that the troops at Glencoe are
only to form a rear guard left to at
tract the force under Commandant
General Joubert while General
Whites full strength is concentrat-
ed at Ladysmith with view of at
tacking the Orange Free State force
while General Joubert is still forty
mics away.
Stories of British successes in the
Mafeking district are SO persistent
that in the absence of contradiction
from Boer sources they may be ac-
cepted as true in the main, although
the alleged killing of 300 Beers is
0iscredited General Cronje's troops
are regarded as the flower of the
Transvaal forces and decisive fighting
must occur on the western border.
A dispatch from Pretoria asserts
that the Transvaal government has
cabled Joseph B. Robinson, the mil
1ionaire gold mine owner and chair
man of the Robinson South African
banking company who is now in Lon
don, to return to johannesburg onlthe
pain of confiscation of his property,
Robinson characterizes the alleged
threat as ridiculous.

New York, December 2.--The World

terview with Senator NJ A. Hanna:
IF anybody thinks l am out of active
politics let him wait until fight starts
up and see where will be. have never
yet shirked a duty of this kind. Do you
think man like me, who has gone so
far In this thing called politics. and who
has worked so faithfully for his party,
would crawl out just before another Ma
tional campaign, when responsibilities
have grown heaviest and every party
leader is in honor bound to do all he can
for the cause? Does anybody suppose
would put myself before the country On
such propositions"
Mr.. Hanna said his term as chairman
of the National committee will expire
when he calls together the National re-
publican convention In 1900.
He continued: 1T would be an I'M
graceful thing for me to discuss whether
or not l will accept another term as
chairman OF the National committee. 1t
would be audacious to discuss an offer
that has not been made"
