WAR OFFICE BULLETIN.

London, Oct. 19-The war office this
evening issued the following bulletin:
No news of importance has been re
ceived from Natal today. The cavalry
attached to our forces at Ladysnnith
and Dundee are engaged in observing
the enemys movements. Steps nave
been taken to secure Pieternaritzburg
and Durham against raids on the west
ern frontier. There is no recent reliable
intelligence from Kimberly or Mafel1-
ing. Both places are cut off from rail
way and telegraphic communication.
1t is believed, however. that a s<ir-
mish took place on Sunday six miles
south of Kimberly and that the Beers
were beaten off with some loss by an
armored train. There was some fight
ing at Mafeking on Saturday, ending
with the repulse of the attacking force.
The Beers in considerable number are
assembled at AliwaInorth and Bethalie,
on the Orange river. Railway COM
munication with the Orange Free State
and the TransvaaI has now ceased. and
remaining fugitives have been warned
to leave by way OF Delagoa bay.

BOERS SLOWLY ADVANCING
RumorS of Engagements Four Days
Ago-JoSeph Chamberlain Says
He Had Hoped Until the Last
nOmen- for Peace with The
TranSVe1l The Secretary
Scores English AlkinSonianS.

London, Oct. 19.-The floor and gal
leries were densely crowded today in
the house of commons in anticipation
of a speech by the secretary of state for
the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
on the governments policy in South
Africa. Mr.. Chamberlain, who was
loudly cheered on rising, began with a
severe criticism of the action of the
opposition at the previous meeting of
parliament Their statements, he said,
were calculated to encourage President
Kruger's resistance and to embarrass
the government lin the most difficult
and most critical functions
Passing to the general question Of
the South African government, Mr.
Chamberlain said that in the light OF
recent events and of the utterances of
President Kruger, he had come to the
conclusion that the war had always
been inevitable. although it was only
of late that he had himself most reluc-
tant1y reached this view. He had hoped
for peace and striven to maintain II,
and up to a recent date he had be
Iieved that peace was possible. He had
always been determined to secure JUS
tice for the British residents in South
Africa and to maintain the para
1nountcy of Great Britain, but with
these things assured, he desired peace
Whenever there had been a doubt as
to President Kruger's motives, the
government had always given him the
benefit of the doubt.
Turning to the principles involved in
the war, the colonial secretary went on
TO say IF we maintain our existence
as q great power in South Africa we
are bound to show that we are willing
to protect British subjects whenever
they have suffered injustice and op-
preston. Great Britain must remain
the paramount power in South Africa
I do not mean paramount in the Ger
man and Portuguese possessions, but il
the two republics and British colonies.
Every one on both sides of the house
is determined to maintain these great !
principles. The peace of South Africa !
depends upon Great Britain accepting |
the responsibility in the Transvaal. |
The Boer oligarchy has placed the Brit |
ish subjects in a position of inferiority |

position if we had submitted to that

FEAR OF RIOTS IN INDIA.

Simla, Oct 19.-Grain- riots are feared
in the central provinces of India owing
to the sudden and severe rise in prices.
Native infantry has been sent to Nag
pore to prevent Iooting.
The anger of the people is increased
by the knowledge that the usual stores
are in the great cities, and they attrib-
ute the scarcity of the provinces to the
rapacity of the grain merchants.

lakhs of rupees to the native states to

Total interest. Nov. to
July l.. 80. ...... .....S 3O,25S, df0
The interest due on November l.
amounting to $4,S65, PA, payment of
which began Monday. may be expected
to be collected promptly: and, as a
large proportion of the disbursements
will find their way to this center, an
appreciable relief to the local banks
will result. During the succeeding
eleven weeks, bondholders will have
the option of collecting interest in ad-
vance maturing up to July 1, 1900; but
it seems doubtful whether that privi-
lege will be availed of to any large ex-
tent On the interest due during tie
first half oc 1900, the treasury imposes a
rebate for advance payment of one
fifth of one per cent per month, which
on the July item would amount to 1.60
per cent of the interest. 1t is an open
question how far the etreasury's offer
may be accepted in respect to the in
terest maturing on the 1st of January
next, amounting to $5.590,520. The re-
bate upon it would be three-fifths of
one per cent, if the demand were made
before November 1; and the willingness
of bondholders to pay such a rebate
would depend principally upon the con-
dition of tn money market. 1t does not
seem likely that much of the January
interest would be collected unless the
market rate for money should continue
persistently higher for some time to
come; and that does not appear very
probable. 1t would be entirely excep-
tional to experience if a considerable
proportion of the money sent to the in
terror did not find its way back to New
York in the second half of November,
and during the interval before that the
loan market would be growing grad
ually easier from receipts of currency
It therefore seems quite possible that,
in respect to the January interest,
may prefer waiting for its
receipt in due course to paying a con-
siderable rebate for getting it earlier;
he NOR so as the Immediate disburse-
nent of the November interest can
hardly fail to afford a quite appreciable
'elief. If. however, the money market I
hould remain unexpectedly stringent.
he five and a half millions of January
interest is within reach at the pleasure
f the bondholders, and lenders may be
ound willing to Day the rebate in or
er to be able to use the money at high
ates. This is an important stay
gainst further apprehension.

New York, Oct. 19-(Specia1 )-waI
street has suffered another weeks en-
barrassment from the effects of money
pressure. Not that the stringency has
increased in severity, but that there is
as yet no material alienation, nor any
sign of immediate effective relief 1t is
true that about s2,75O,OOO of gold has
came to the banks from abroad and the
Pacific coast and that the settlements
OF the sub-treasury at the clearing
house have been more than usually
favorable to the banks; but the ship
ments of currency to the interior have
been disappointingly large and the
foreign exchanges suggest no hope of
early importations of specie. The bal
ance of the money movements of the
week cannot be closely estimated at the
hour of writing; but it does not seem
improbable that next week may open
with a somewhat improved condition of
the banking reserves. Still, the situa-
tion of the money market is less favor
able than it has been hoped to be at
the middle of October.
The offer of the treasury to pay out
the whole interest on the public debt
up to the 1st of July next places an
important resource of gold within
reach. The amounts of interest pay

SAVEDTHESHAMROCK
The Columbia Held Back Be-
YOnd the Time Limit.
The Challenger Was Three Niles
Benind-The Last Race of the
Series TO Be Sailed TOdsY-Lip-
tons Crew Give Up The Fight.

/ New York. Oct 19.-Had the wind
held today the Columbia-Sh Shamrock
series for the Americas s cup would have
ended in three straight wins for the
defender, and the Irish cup hunter
would have sailed home without the
trophy, beaten as decisively as any
former candidate. Only the failure of
the wind saved the Shamrock from
defeat more stinging than on Monday.
Today she was beaten on the run to the
outer mark five minutes and ffty-One
seconds elapsed time. and on the leg
home the Columbia sailed away from
her like a witch.
When the race was declared off
about ten minutes before the expira-
ton of the time limit, the Columbia
was leading by about three miles. She
was then four miles from the finish.
Had the race ended. the Shamrock
would have been beaten by at least
twenty minutes The two English
captains and the captain of Emperor
Williams yacht, the Meteor, failed to
get the Shamrock over the line before
the gun was fired and she went into
the race penalized by two seconds on
that account. The additional ballast
which was put into her also seems to
have been a. blunder on the part of her
managers. as it increased the size of
the body to be forced through the water
and in the light air that prevailed to-
day retarded, instead of increased her
speed.
What the Shamrock may he able to
do in rough weather is still problemat-
ical, but after the drubbing she has
received, experts are as a lot unani-
NOUS in the belief that the Columbia
can take her measure in light airs or
gale of wind
The crew OF the Shamrock have given
it up. They are convinced that We
have the better boat. Before the race
on Monday they had the most supreme
in their ability TO win with
the Shamrock There was no living
with them" said one of the Yankee
tars on the Shapracll,s- -telldeas-Law-
renee. They would not even hear ar
gument. After they returned from the
race on Monday they were so sore that
they would not speak to each other
Now they are frank enough to admit |
that the Columbia is Il better boat by |
ten minutes over a thirty-mile course"
The boats will race again tomorrow. |
and even if the Columbia wins it is
possible two more races will be sailed. /
A 1,,.or1oeitiOn to This effect has been
made, and Sir Thomas seems anxious
hat it be carried out. He has been
greatly disappointed in the showing
lis boat has made, but believes she
night do better over d triangular
curse and in a heavier wind, and has
aids he would be pleased to sail two
more races.
