Spokane, Nov. 6.--Amid the shrieking
of whistles, the ringing of bells and cheers
from thousands of human Threats, the
train bringing home the returning Spo-
kane heroes rolled into the Northern Pa
cifc depot at 9:05 this morning.
From every car window the boys were
hanging out their heads, eager to catch
first glimpse of the loved relatives and
friends who were lined up along the plat
form to receive them.
Many was the hearty handshake and
loving kiss that was exchanged before the
train finally came to a full stop and the
boys began to climb off to be embraced
by the mothers, sisters and sweethearts
who were there to greet them.
AS the train pulled into the depot the
first thing to be seen by the expectant
crowd which had assembled to meet it was
"Old Glory" waving at the head. Armed
with the colors, Corporal Milton Rhoads
and Private Walter Haskins had taken
their place on the cowcatcher at Mar
shall and rode it into the city.
At the depot to welcome the boys was
one of the largest crowds that has ever as
sembled in this city. The depot platform
was crowded to its full capacity, the wait
ing room was full of people, and the
crowd extended all the way down Bernard
street to Riverside avenue.

Closing In on Kimberly.

Cape Town, Cape Colony, Nov. S.-A
dispatch which has been received here
from Kimberly says:
Apparently the Boer achievements
from Mafeking have arrived, as the burgh-
ers are more numerous and closer around
Kimberly. About 1900 of them made a
demonstration three miles eastward at
the Premier mine today and opened fire
on Debeers carts, but no damage was
done.
The explosion of the dynamite maya
zine, caused by the Beers firing at the
place, was terrific. The huts contained
80 tons of dynamite.
All the wounded are progressing salts
factorily.
A committee to regulate the supply and
price of food is being formed.
Mr.. Rhodes is making an avenue a
mile long at Kenilworth to be called Siege
avenue. A double row of orange trees
and vines will be planted on either side
with pepper trees forming the back
ground.

Deficit In the Reserve.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Financier says:
For the first time since the panic OF 1898
the clearing house banks OF New YORK
CITY report a deficit in reserves, the cash
on hand falling below the required limit
by $338,35O. The deficit is due to the
heavy Withdrawals ip cash, contractlons
in loans and deposits having been insufic
lent to lower requirements to the proper
figures. The statement is further compll'
Gated by the addition of a new bank, the
Hide and Leather National to the clearing
house In order to get at the real eX'
changes for a proper comparison 1t is nee
essary to offset totals of this institution
This done, it appears that the losses OF
the regular members have been $2,6l9, lOC
in loans, 81, 320,9O in deposits and $3.50,
200 in cash, which puts new meaning
on the exhibit as a whole. A great deal
of surprise was expressed when the state
ment appeared that loans had fallen oil
less than a quarter of million, as pup
.ished in the totals, and in explanation
the expanding business on the stock eX'
change was cited. Speculation has been
much more active of late, and little II any
contraction in loans was looked for. Ii
seems. however, that loans really have
been reduced over two and one-half mill

emit Catch AguinnIdO.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch from
Washington says: Considerable disap-
pointment is expressed by officials of the
war department at General Otis report
that General Wheaton's expedition will
not reach the Gulf of Lingayen until to-
morrow. Without waiting for General
Wheaton to reach his destination, General
Macarthur has commenced his advance,
while General Lawton has been compelled
to remain inactive because of the fact
that heavy rains have submerged the
country.
The effect of the delay of General
Wheatons movement, and the advance
begun by General Macarthur will be, the
officials believe, to permit Aguinaldo to
escape from the cul de sac in which it
was hoped to corner him.

TALAGO CHIEFS FOR PEACE.
THEY ASK BUT ONE CONDITION
want Protection III They Raise the
United States FIag-Their Ammu-
milton Is ShOrt-CIaim to Have
Many Prisoners.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Alail advices tc
,the war department indicate important ne
gotiations in the Mohammedan section OF
the archipelago outside of the much dis
cussed territory of Sulu. Through the eff
forts Of Mr.. X. Engelskjohn, a gentleman
of Norwegian birth who enjoys the conf.
dence of the Filipino chiefs in Mindanao
Otis at Manila.
Mindanao is almost equal in area to Lu.
.Zon, being one of the two great islands OF
the Philippines, The Mohammedans there
number 10000, and Spain has maintained
little more than nominal sovereignty.
Thirty of the Filipino chiefs held a con-
ference with Mr.. Engelskjohn and drew up
a form of treaty proposing terms of peace.
They suffer greatly from the inroads of the
Moros, and offer to submit to the author
atty of the United States ON the sole condl.
ton that sufficient American garrisons be
established in the island to protect them.
These proposals were submitted to Gen.
Otis on the arrival of Mr.. Engelskjohn,
but what action has been taken is not yet
known.
An escaped Spanish prisoner from the
tinsurgent lines north of Manila has arriv-
ed at Angeles. He confirms the reports
that the insurgents are running short Of
Mauser ammunition and are unable to re-
fill cartridges of this class. He says, how
ever, that they are well supplied with
Remington ammunition, which they man
ufacture themselves. They also manufac-
ture dynamite and powder from petroleum
and ut, which is shipped from Manila and
taken into their lines at night.
OF the IA American prisoners held by
the insurgents at Tarlac the rebels claim
that four have accepted commissions in
she insurgent army.
Two Scotchmen named Mckinley and
Mcintosh have escaped from the rebels.
They say the insurgents claim to have 25O
American prisoners scattered through va
,rious towns, but they know of none per-
,sonally excepting Lieut.. Gilmore and his
IA sailors. The insurgents say, however,
that they have two American officers in
confinement besides Lieut.. Gilmore.
Col Smith at Angeles has sent to Gen.
Macarthur a placard IN Spanish which was
found nailed to tree outside the lines.
1t was an appeal to the colored troops to
join the insurgents in the fight for free
dom, and referred to your brothers, Sam
Hoe and Gray, whose blood cries aloud

Beers ARE STILL AGGRESSIVE
LADYSMITH HAS SURRENDERED
DR.. Leyds Receives Private Advice
Ii Says That whites Army Has
Capitulated--NavaI Guns in Action
-COlenso Has been Evacuated.

New York, Nov. 5.-A cable from Brus-
sells says it is stated that DIR. Leyds has
private advices to the effect that Lady.
smith has fallen before the Boer attack
and that the remnants of Whites army
are prisoners of war. The report can not
be confirmed. 1t is known that Leyds
has constantly kept in communication
with Pretoria and Transvaal, despite the
fact that the British hold the wires and it
is believed that British reverses will first
be known on the continent.
Fearful Artillery Duel.
London, Nov. ga dispatch from Lady.
smith, dated November 2, morning, says:
During the night the Beers moved near
the British position and mounted guns in
fresh places. Meanwhile the naval guns
have been moved TO more favorable posi-
TONS nearer the town and commanding
some of the Boer batteries. At 6 o'clock
this morning General White ordered the
bombardment of the enemy and the blue
jackets opened the ball. The Beers re-
piled vigorously. They fired straight and
some of the British were hit. A terrible
artillery duel has been proceeding for over
three hours. So far the naval guns are
the only ones that have engaged the enc
N.Y."
Another special dispatch from Lady
smith, bearing date of November 2, says:
"The artillery duel is proceeding splendid
ly. The British guns are firing three shots
to the Beers one"
London, Nov. 5.-Colenso has been evac-
uated today.
This is undoubtedly most serious mat
ter for the British in Natal, as it not only
testifies to the complete investment of
Ladysmith by the Beers, but makes the
relief of General Sir George Stewart
White an extremely difficult operation.
The railway from Ladysmith crosses Tu-
gela at Colenso, which is now in flood.
! The town itself is of small importance 1t
is dominated by the hills on the north
side of the river and so was untenable if
the Beers have advanced, as they seem to
have done. Moreover, only a small naval
and colonial force was stationed at Co
lenso.
The seriousness of the evacuation, how
ever, lies in the fact that Commandant
Joubert, while completely investing Sir
George White at Ladysmith, can seize this
Tugela bridge, and if he has sufficient
troops can detach force and send it
southwark on Pietermaritzburg, and in
any case by destroying the bridge and rail-
way can prevent any relief expedition
reaching Sir George White for some time.

were received from the hatchery at
Bozeman, Mont, and will be take' nut

trout are the famous speckled brook
trout from New England streams, and
wherever they have been put in west
elm streams have done well, but espec-
tally in the streams that have their
source in the mountains and are cool.
In five years these trout will average
five and one-half pounds each.
