Not Popular in Germany.

Berlin, Nov. 20-The reassemblipg Of
the reichstag Tuesday caused hardly a
ripple on the surface of political life. 1t
seems that neither the reichstag nor the
government is anxious for conflict over the
pending measures concerning which there
is much heated difference of opinion. 1t
was different with the emperor's depart
ure for England, which probably nine
tenths of the nation condemns Since it
has been generally known that the visit
would take place, the press of every shade
of opinion, which has been unrestrained-
ly abusing Great Britain and pooh-pooh'
ing the notion of his majesty going there
has become somewhat quiet.

FIERCE BATTLEATL ADySMHH
THE BRITISH LOSS WAS SMALL
Battle Heaviest Yet FOught-Many
BOers Killed, More Taken Prison
ers-The Present Week VIII See

London, Nov. 2l.-A special dispatch
from Estcourt says that report has reach
ed there of a battle at Ladysmith, last
ing from daybreak uptil o'clock in the
afternoon. Many Beers are said to have
been killed and many more are reported
taken prisoners. British losses are report
ed to be much less
Another battle is said to have occurred
later. 1t is described as the heaviest YET
fought. The Boer dead, it is added, mum
Der hundreds, while the British 10 ses were
comparatively few.
The present week. according to the dis
patches from the front, ought to see a
change in the defensive tactics that have
hitherto been maintained by the British
in South Africa. 1t is said that the task
allotted to Gen. Cleary, that of relieving
Ladysmith, will task his -generalship to
the utmost. The Beers are developing a
great deal of strength in the neighbor-
hood of Estcourt, and Gen. Joubert is Ie
ported to be moving southwark himself in
order to direct the movement to repel the
British advance after, it would seem, at
tempting to Isolate Estcourt. This latter
movement is already in progress.
The Beers practically surround the
town. Another small force was dis overed
at Willow Grange, south of Estcourt, yes
terday Sunday evening.
Major Thorneycroft, with a detachment
of infantry, made sortie and engaged
the Beers, but with no material result
The so-called Boer attempts to rush Est
court on Saturday were apparently mel, ly
reconnaissance, resulting in the Boer:
obtaining information which they desired
namely, that Estcourt is fairly strongly
held and has naval guns in position.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The foleign COM
merce of the United States seems likely
to make its highest record of the centu, y
in the closing year of that period. The
October exports are larger than those of
any preceding October, the total for the
10 months ending with October is greater
than the total for the corresponding per-
iod in any preceding year, and it is ap-
parent that for the first time in our his
tory the foreign commerce of the year
will exceed two billion dollars. For the
10 months ending with October, 1899, the
figures of the treasury bureau Of statistics
show the total exports to be $l,O29, 242,.

last they were 1897 ,s79, 1000.

CARRIED BUB0N|C PLAGUE.
SHIP ARRIVED IN NEW YORK
She Was an English Boat From
Brazil-One Man Died at Sea--Sev-
eral Are Sick-BOat Will Not BE
Allowed to Enter Port.

New York, Nov. 20.-The British steam.
er j. w. Taylor, from Santos, is detained
at quarantine under suspicion of having
bubonic plague among the crew. One
man died at sea with very suspicious
symptoms, and Captain Waters and the
ships cook are both sick. The Taylor
left Santos, Brazil, October "a, with full
cargo of coffee and sailed direct for this
port. On November Robert Hope, aged
% years, the steward, was taken sick and
died on the 18th. He was a native of Eng
land. Hope was in the hospital at San
tos for about two weeks suffering from
eruption, thought to be eczema. He sail
ed with the steamer, and after several
days at sea complained Of pains in his
head, legs and back. He was put to bed
in an exhausted condition, and on the
second day developed fever. The cap
tain treated him with such remedies as
the ships medical chest afforded and
nursed him with care until he died. On
arriving at quarantine the case was re-
ported to the health officers, and in view
of the fact that the captain and cook, who
were in constant contact with the sick
man, were both ailing the steamer is de-
tanned at quarantine for disinfection.
The disinfection steamer James w.
Wadsworth has been alongside the Taylor
since her arrival, disinfecting the officers
and crews and quarters and the clothing
and effects OF the crew.
Dr. John B. Crosby, commissioner Of
the city board of health, said:
"Under no circumstances will the ship
be allowed to enter port even after it has
been disinfected. The coffee will be al
lowed to be landed if the bags it is now
in will be burned and the coffee loaded in
bulk and then placed in new bags. I
believe that the roasting through which
the coffee must pass before it is used will
kill the germs. 1t is almost impossible
to disinfect ship, and should there be
any danger of the spreading of the disease
! would suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of burn
ing the vessel, no matter what the cost
might be-"
