HIS LONG LIST or CASC-
ALTIE.S SURPRISES
LONDON.
RUMORS OF \ BOER VICTORY STILL IN
EXPLAINED LIEUTENANT EGER-
TONS MISFORTUNE
fBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

London. Nov T. 6 a m-Owing to the con-
tinued interruption Of telegraphic communica-
ton with Ladysmith no further news has been
received from General White. The deploraoy
long list Of casualties published to-day provokes
the painful reflection that General White has
on two occasions in his early dispatches given
an altogether erroneous impression Of the losses
incurred.
II is extremely sad to learn that the dangerous
wounds received by Egerton, the gunnery leu
tenant Of the Powerful during the artillery duel
Of Thursday morning have made necessary the
amputation Of both legs.
There is still no explanation OF the mystery
attaching to the strange rumors from the Con-
tinent Of Boer victory, and no confirmation
forthcoming Of a Boer defeat reported from the
Cape. The war correspondent Of THE Tele-
graph" mentions that Ladysmith is provisioned
for two months.
The Cape Town correspondent Of the same
paper telegraphlng on Tuesday evening says
that General Butler is unlikely to leave that
town for a few days.
THE Standard is informed from Luxembourg
that DR. L-eyds has been in communication with
Pretoria through an indirect diplomatic channel
The Boer plan Of campaign is to crush Cen
eral White and leave a small force at Durham
to prevent the landing Of British troops and
withdraw the main body for the defence line OF
the Orange River against the army corps under
General Butler. THE Man' reports that six Of
the police stationed at Coesberg Bridge near
the Cape Colony border. have been captured by
the Beers.
statement IS published by news agency
that special service squadron IS being or
ganized to sail to South Africa for the purpose
OF establishing a protective squadron from the
Cape TO Delagoa Bay. /. y. f.

A Lnwyer,s somersault.

Speaking of somersaults, tho anecdote
which Lord Eldon relates Of the emf
nent English lawyer, John Dunning,
afterward Lord Ashburton, will bear
repeating. II hail." says Lord Eldon,
every early after ] was called to the
bar, a brief as Junior to Mr. Dunning.
He began the argument and appeared
to me to be reasoning very powerfully
against our client. Waiting till / was
quite convinced that he had mistaken
for what party he was retained, l then
touched his arm, and, upon his turning
his head toward me, I whispered to
him that he must have misunderstood
by whom he was employed, az he was
reasoning against our client.
HE gave me q very rough and rude
reprimand for not having sooner set
him right and then proceeded to state
that what he had addressed to the court
was all that could be stated against his
client and that be had put the al as
unfavorably as it were possible in order
that the court might see how very salts
factorily the case against him could be
answered, and, accordingly, very pow
erfully answered what hs had before

and fanciful, and the entire apron is utter
fragile character. A few examples may be
cited-namely, one of ivory crepe de chine,
with a pointed belt of nile green satin, and
alternate bands of green satin ribbon and
white mousseline de sole ruches across the
bottom, the V shaped bib being trimmed
to match, and green bretelles crossing at
the back; another of pink and white
changeable t~affeta, trimmed with rutf1es
and ruches of pink mousseline de sole
and bands of lace insertion, the heart
shaped bib being fastened at each side
by a pink rose with foliage; "a third of
pale blue satin with guipure incrus-
t%ations, a pale blue satin collar be-
ing also worn, and choux of mandarin vel
vet appearing on the bib and at the waist.
Aprons Of this sort may easily be made at
home at much less expense than they are
to be bought ready made, and the home
made ones are quite as satisfactory, as
there is no question of fitting the figure.
The cut illustrates a neat hat of new de-
sign. The shape, Of medium size, is
smoothly covered with golden brown vel
vet, and has a turban drapery of cham
payne colored shirred satin, mingled with
narrow bands of mink fur. At the side is
an enormous chou of the satin, pierced by
two ornamental pins, and from the bow
rises a full artificial plume of golden
brown feathers. Choux of chrysanthemums
in champagne shades are placed under the
brim next to the hair.

running crosswise or %lengthwise; also
printed bias plaids and woven straight
ones. The newest shirt waists are made
like a mans shirt, not plated in at the
waist, and there are, in the more expen-
sive qualities, lengthwise bands of lace
and embroidered insertions. The sleeves
are small and scant, finishing with q
rounded shirt cuff, to be fastened with
links.
Shirt waists of plain, plaid or dotted
flannel are immensely worn and are a
more seasonable subject than are those
made of thin fabrics. French flannel is
used in the majority of cases because it is
thicker than wash flannel, but it is apt to
shrink in laundering and become stiff and
hard. Among plain colors red, hazel
brown, medium green and dull blue are
the prettiest. There are also colored
grounds with printed dots or lines of black
or white or embroidered spots of black or
white silk. These waists need not be lined,
but may be made in every respect like an
ordinary shirt waist.
A picture is given Of q princess gown of
sodium green satin cloth. 1t is quite plain
except for d slight drapery across the
bosom. An embroidered design of black
velvet and silk passes down n side of the
skirt and crosses the base of the front, and
similar embroidery adorns the side of the
bodice and the top Of the sleeves; also the
wrists. A black velvet bow is placed ut the
throat. With this gown is worn II felt hat
to match, trimmed with green velvet and
fancy feathers. JUDO CHOLLET.
