.GATACRE CHECKED.
BLAME FOR GATACRES REVERSE
PLACED ON THE
GUIDES.
Cause of British Defeat at Shormberg
a Mystery-Details Not Learned
Cronje and Methuen vii Meet at
Magerfontein - Fighting at Mod
red River Reported.

London, Dec. 12.-What little infor-
nation reached London last night from
the seat of war contained nothing per-
tanning to the advance of Gen. Butler
or Lord Methuen. Details of General
Gatacre's defeat show hat his column
was guided into a position where it
vas at the mercy of a heavy fire. Ig-
norance or treachery on the part Of
guides and neglect of proper recon-
Nuisance was responsible for this seri-
Gus setback to the British arms. 1t is
not yet known at what stage the 600
men were cut off. AS at Nicholson's
Mex, it is assumed to be certain thai
they continued to give good account Of
themselves as long as their ammuni-
ton lasted.
The result Of the reverse is that CAT
acres advance is delayed, as is also
that of Gen. French from Naauwport.
Stormberg is now known to hold a far
greater force than was supposed, and
Gen. Gatacre will require powerful re-
Inducements before he can make an
other essay. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Beers, emboldened by their
success, will venture south to try to
cut Gatacre's line of communication.
Before another 10 days have passed
transports bearing the Fifth division.
which is to be commanded by Sir Char
les Warren, will begin to arrive in
South African waters, and it almost
certain that some of the newcomers
will be hurried up to strengthen the
hands of Gatacre and French and pro-
tect Methuen's line of communication.
Experts here would not be surprised
to find that a considerable part of the
Beers who were investing Ladysmith
had been called off and hurried down to
the southern part of the Free State to
bar the approach of the British from
northern Cape Colony. The extreme
mobility of the Beers has always been
one of their chief sources of strength.
at Frere camp, probably as a prelude to
giving an order for a general advance.
Cape Town, Dec. 12.-It is reported
that heavy firing was heard all day yes
terday in the direction of Modder riv-
err.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Upon the ap-
p~lication of the South African republic
through the medium of the Netherlands
government, the British government
has consented to SUPPLY the Beers lists
of the Boer prisoners held by the Brit
ish and with other proper information
as to their condition. The British gov
eminent has intimated that it expects
the Boer government will Ieciprocate
when called upon in kind.
The Beers, it is said, have 2,1OO Eng

An Unusual Incide mt.

An unusual incident happened on
lie homeward voyage of the Castle
irer Carlsbrook Castle. from the Cape.
he English letters not having arrived
e(ore the Lismore Castle sailed from
a,e Town for home, the captain OF
he C~arisbrook Castle, which was to
iii the following day, good-naturedly
ndertook to deliver the letters to the
.isappointed passengers of the LIS
lore Castle on the high seas. On
,~vertaking the Lismore Castle, the
aptain had the letters enclosed in a
in box and soldered up. This was
jut into a barrel, with a pole at
ached flying a red flag, and having
Gassed the Lismore Castle and got we'll
head of her. the barrel vas dropped
overheard, the captain Of the Carts
brook at the same time hosting a sig
nal which had been pre-arranged. The
I.ismore Castle, coming up on her
Course in due time, picked up the bar
'el, and SO the passengers received
heir anxiously-waited news from
lome. They expressed their gratitude
N their arrival in England by sending
% the commander of the Carisbrook
Castle a beautifully illuminated ad-
dress, on which was depicted a barrel
floating on the high sels bearing a red
lag, the barrel being supported by two
pretty sea maidens.

WoMENPOLIcEMEN OF LONDON
Queer Occupation of a Crowd of With
cred Danes.

Wv" oAAS
London has many queer things in
the huge extent Of its area, but none
queerer than its ONE guardians OF
the streets, for London, unknown to
most of its inhabitants. has a police
force the like of which does not exist
in any other city on earth. In order
to see it work you must get up very
early on Friday morning and visit Co.
vent Garden market. There you will
see such a block of traffic and such a
crowd of angry and unreasonable driv-
ers that you will not be surprised at
the Metropolitan police giving up the
duty of keeping order as an impossi-
BILE Job. But still you will find that
things come right in the end, and on
looking to find how this is brought
about you will probably be shocked to
discover that Covent Garden has a po-
lice force all to itself in the shape OF
| some hundred or so of old women.
| They dart in and out among the cars,
order the drivers to stop, or back their
horses, or move on. They shout and
swear and shake their fists and catch
| the horses heads and, II necessary, shy
turnips or potatoes at the drivers. But
they always succeed in having their
own way. But for these women 1t Is
believed that it would be necessary to
cad the riot act every Saturday morn
ing in Covent Garden. AS 1t is, the
Women police make a comfortable liv-
| Ing out of their profession, the drivers
| giving them daily tips, while the pro-
rriefors pay them a fair salary.

RAILROAD SPIKE AND ITS LUCK
Fortunes Opportunity Develops Out of
Mans Craze for whiting.

Mans Craze for whiting.
Opportunity frequently develops
from the most trivial of circumstances.
A striking instance of this truism is
manifested in the case of a man for
merly bereft of the good things of life
and now riding the crest of financial
prosperity. 1t all arose from his craze
for whiting. Sitting one day in the
smoker of a Pullman attached to a
western train, he picked up a piece of
wood and began idly ~fashioning it into
shape. Perhaps because of the jour
ney, aRd perhaps, too, from the shape
of the wood, it began to assume the
form of a railroad spike, the kind used
in fastening the iron rails to the wood
en- ties. When the spike was complet-
ed the car was still travelling On its for
ward way, so to add to his occupation
and make it pass the time away the
owner of the inventive penknife be-
gan to tunnel the wooden spike on
each of its four sides until finished it
looked like a symmetrical implement
with edges resembling the petals OF a
flower. why don't you patent that
spike?" quietly asked a prominent rail-
road official of the party as he watched
the development of the stick of wood.
Don't know, I'm sure. Never thought
Of it. Guess it isn't worth much my
way" replied the whittier ~laughingly.
But the idea chung to his memory
even If at the time he had smiled it
away as incredible. A year later a
friend met him in New York bearing
On his person unmistakable signs OF
the dawn of good fortune. Yes" he
answered, agreeingly, 81 owe it all to
that wooden spike. l took that mans
advice when l reached New York, had
the thing patented and a few weeks
later a railroad company paid me
$1,000 0 for the patent. Queer luck
wasn't it,"

PLAGUE IN RUSSIA
Gives Rise to Some Curious Preparations
Against Its Spread.

Gives Rise to Some Curious Preparations
Against Its Spread.
saw the other day a curious device
attached to the mooring rope or cable
of a steamer which was loading at this
port, writes Consul Heenan from
Odessa, Russia. The cable was run
through a piece of iron pipe about a
foot in length, and welded on the end
was a iange or funnel. which looked
like the end OF a trumpet, with the
wide end facing the vessel. The iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-
tent it from slipping, and also to pre-
ZEN rats from passing through it.
This novel construction vas quite
close to the ship. On inquiring what
purpose this device served, | was in
formed that the Russian authorities
furnished these appliances and obliged
all ships to use them whenever they
came from a port infected with the
plague, in order to prevent the rats
on the ship from coming ashore. 1t
is generally conceded that the plague
has been carried and spread by rats
Wnlch nave le1t SHIPS coming ITonn III
fected ports. 1t is known that rats
make use of the cable to come on shore,
and this iron pipe. with its funnel
shaped arrangement, was employed to
prevent such visits, If possible. These
devices are attached to each cable by
which the ship is moored. In addition
to this %precaution, the master of the
ship is obliged to take down his load
ing stages every night and erect them
again the following morning, in order
to prevent the rats from coming or
shore during the night. | do not know
whether this device is known to our
sanitary authorities, and | send this
description of it in the hope that II

SHIPPING CATTLE
CATTLEMEN OBJECT TO THE
PLAN OF PAYING BY
WEIGHT.
Railroads Claim That Profits in Trans
p~ortation of Live Stock are Small
Change May Result in an Increase
in Rates-Charging by Weight
Claimed to be the Only Way.

-Cattlemen throughout the west are
aroused to a considerable extent in OPP
position to the recent change inaugur-
ated by the railroads west of the Mis-
souri, river, whereby the transportation
Of cattle is charged for by weight in
stead of by the car, as heretofore.
They assert that this change will re-
suit in an increase of the charges of the
railroad companies. Especial opposi-
ton to the new method of computing
freight tariffs on the movement of live
stock is manifested in Kansas and it is
asserted that suits will be instituted
in the courts of that state to determine
whether or not the railroads have the
right to make such a change in their
tariffs.
Regarding this matter, n of the
leading railroad managers of the west
says: "The reason for changing the
ceive greater compensation for the SER
vice performed, although there is no
other business that is west of the Mis-
souri, river that yields as little profit to
the carrier as the transportation of live
stock; while, on the other hand, there
is no other pursuit that the farmer can
follow that will yield him the same
profits. The railroads give the live
stock business an accelerated speed,
use cars Of special design, and are
obliged in most cases to run the cars
west-bound empty.
THE chief reason for our wish to
make the change in the method of
charging for transportation of live
stock is that it is the only way in which
to assess the charges. If n shipper,
with less humanity than another, in
sists OF crowoing more cattle in a car
than his neighbor does, ought he not
be made to pay for it, and is not the
carrier entitled to receive more COM
pensation for hauling 5000 pounds Of
stock than it receives for transporting
20, 1000 %pounds?"
This official asserts that the plan of
charge by by weight has been in gen.
eral operation in all sections of the
country to a large extent. He says that
all cattle arriving in Chicago is charg-
ed, and has been charged for in ac-
cordance with its weight for the last
ten years. Cattle consigned to the st.
Paul stock yards are paid for in this
manner. and all cattle shipped from
Mississippi river points and east there
of to New York and other eastern
markets pays tribute to carrier by
weight.
Charging by weight" he continues,
takes away the premium hat has al
ways existed on overlooking cattle and
is a proper measure to adopt as a pre-
%vention Of cruelty to animals. So far
as it possible the new rates will be so
arranged that there will be no change
in the charges fer an average carload.
but necessarily in the re-adjustment OF
these rates there will be some instances
where there are reductions. while in
other cases there will be an increase,
although as a general proposition the
change is not made for the purpose of
increasing out earnings but because of
a business proposition it is a proper
change to make. Omaha Bee.

PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT TO SAVE.
Remarkable Growth of Great Britain's
TO tofhce Savings Bank.

''hhs' ShNihSs bhnh.
The history of the postofice savings
ban of Great Britain is specially re-
markablS. There is nothing compare
Bile with it in the world as. a savings
institution. 1t was founded only thir-
ty-eight years ago. and it now has
1000, 600 depositors and holds in trust
over 5000, 600. coo. The business of the
central administrative department in
London has grown to such enormous
proportions that an area of five acres
has recently been purchased at West
Kensington, in the outskirts of Lon
don, whereon new buildings will be
erected for its accommodation. The
cornerstone Of the main structure was
laid in June by the prince of Wales.
Every postoffice in the United King
dom is a branch of this bank, and
there are 1900 branches. The institu-
ton has been popular with the masses
from the beginning, and its benefits in
the encouragement of thrift and provi-
dence have been beyond estimation.
One in every five persons in England
and Wales is said to have an recount
In these banks. and one in every four
teen in Scotland and Ireland. The in
stitution catches the small savings,
the average sum on deposit by the TO-
OO0, 900 depositors being only about $50.
Every device is employed to encour-
age making of deposits and to render
the banking process simple and con-
venient. The elementary schools of
the country cooperate with the banks
and the children form a large percent
age Of the depositors. Penny-stamp
slips are provided whereby children
are enabled to begin an account with a
minimum deposit of l shilling. An in
terest rate of 21a per cent is paid.

1t on the neck with his rifle. 1t flew
to the top Of a tree near by. He then
raised his rifle to shoot, when the eagle
attacked him again, sinking his talons
into the flesh of his body, but the lit

It off, and raising his rifle drought
down the bird, sending a bullet through
It's head. The eagle measured forty
