oners. 1t is supposed the stampeding
mules carried away the reserves of am
munition and that the troops capitu-
lated after firing the rounds each man
carried. In the absence Of news, the
morning papers are reduced to specula-
ton as to how the disaster occurred.
The general opinion is that a misuse of
the cavalry was the real reason Of the fall
into the trap. Apparently there was no
cavalry to watch over the safety of the
missing column.
The Morning Post pointing out how
near the British were to s'still greater
disaster" says: "In capturing the COL
umn the Beers also had the Devonshire
regiment practically at their mercy and
a little more daring would have made a
bad business much worse, and seeing
that force strong enough to scoop up
couple of infantry battalions could
have put itself practically between Gen
eral White and his camp we may be
very thankful that things today are
not more serious than they are. The
lesson has been severe. 1t is humiliat-
ing to find a nation of farmers beating
soldiers at their own game, but the
sooner a proper respect is had for Boer
strategy and tactics the better for our
fortunes in Natal.'
This SOLDERING note is struck by all the
morning papers today, together with
expressions of determination to carry
the matter through at whatever cost.
The Daily Chronicle, referring editor
tally to the situation, says:
GIN view of the patent failure of the
campaign and the terrible humiliation
of the British army we can only vaguely
hope that Sir George White in the hard
days that lay before him may be able to
hold Ladysnith. Retreat would be an
undertaking which the Imagination
fails to grasp. If this war is to be a
war of vengeance we shall have to wipe
out disaster before which the memory
of Majuba fades away. The empire is
face to face with a repulse comparable
only to the surrender of Burgoyne to
the embattled farmers of our American
colonies.'

Roanoke Returns to Seattle With Four
Hundred Passengers.
SEATTLE. Nov. 2.-The steamer Roa-
noke arrived here yesterday from St.
Michael and Cape Nome. The Roanoke
brought 81, 100000 worth of gold and
400 passengers.
The Roanoke brings the first story of
the death of several New Workers, mem
bers of the Alaska Prospecting com.
pany. The dead are: Mr.. and Mrs.
Emil Kuhner, Oscar Becker and I'M
known man.
Becker's body was washed ashore on
the beach at St. Michael island and later
was found an overturned steamer and a
scow loaded with machinery, which
represented the assets of the company.
Two survivors are John Becker and
Theodore Diedrick.
The news was brought to St. Michael
by natives who claim to have seen the
steamer overturning during a severe
wind storm which prevailed about Sept.
10. The government launch Nordica
was detailed to the scene of the acct
dent. She returned two days later with
the scow and Oscar Becker's body.
Owing to the high surf the crew Of the
Nordica could not make an examination
of the overturned steamer. which no
doubt contained the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs. Knhner and the unknown man.

Fear Closes Accusing Lips.


LONDON, KY, Nov. 2.-The feudists
charged with murder at Manchester,
Clay county, have comparatively easy
sailing, as witnesses summoned to APP
pear. will not testify against the war
ring factions. Mrs. Sarah Collins, chief
witness against James and Willard Phil
pot and Alex Fischer, charged with the
murder Of her husband, committed sui
eide by taking poison, fearing to testify
against them. Other feud cases have
been postponed from day to day on ac-
count of the absence of witnesses who
refuse to attend court and testify against
the feudists, believing that their evil
dence against the warning factions
would imperil their own lives.

Worst Defeat for a Hundred Years.

LONDON, Nov. An ominous cur
tain has again descended on affairs in
Natal. No dispatch except the official
kilograms of Sir George Stewart White
has thus far been permitted to mention
the disaster and no telegram from Lady
smith has peen received in London since
the advices of the British commander.
This gives rise to the belief that COM
munication has been cut in which event
some time must elapse before details re-
garding British losses are received.
If the war Office officials have received
information on this point they have re-
Trained from publishing it. General
Whites estimate that the British losses
were about 80 is evidently quite separate
from the probable losses in killed and
wounded among the captured battalions.

Worst Defeat for Hundred Years.

Paris an ImpregnabIe City.

The French have been taught wis
dom by past experience. and as re-
suit have planned. and few years
ago finished. a system of fortificatiOn
around Paris which are probably un-
equalled for the purposes for which
they are intended by any similar forti-
tications in the world. 4 well-in-
formed military writer. a member of
the general staff of the German army,
has given it as his opinion that a sue
present conditions. an impossible un-
dertaking.
The new Notifications that surround
the French capital. says Pearsons,
are some fifteen or twenty miles from
the city. and are connected with Paris
and with each other by a railway sys-
tenn which would enable the French
commander to quickly mass at one
point very large body of MEN, while
the general of the beSiegiIg army. if
he wished to prevent the city from OBJ
tanning supplies and thus shut in the
people and the army that was defend
ing it. would have to occupy a line ex-
tending more than one hundred miles.
and hence could not by any posSfbil-
ity collect a large number of his force
at any one point to resist with even a
shadow of hope an attack of the en-
envy.
1t required German army of ap-
proximately 100000 men 20 lay siege
TO Paris from September 10. 1870, to
January 80, 1871: but the authority we
refer to is of the opinion that to re-
peat the same operation Il German be-
sieging army would have 20 number
more than 2.000.000 men. and the
work of maintaining such force and
properly handling its parts would be
somthing which few Governments
would care to undertake and few mill
tary commanders would be able to
efficiently perform.
The French have spent upon these
new Notifications an amount various
ly estimated at from $50. 90G00O to
S5000O,0O0, and hence can well afford
to sell the land occupied by some of
the now obsolete Notifications of
generation ago.

Railroad Mans Mistake In Handling Car
Of Crushed Gold Ore.

of Crushed Gold Ore.
The average railroad official. from
the President down to the section boss.
Is thoroughly conversant with the
work that comes in his department.
but the following incident shows that
! even the higher officials can make mis-.
takes.
Several months ago a Kansas City,
Mo-, company bought carload of
crushed ore in Mexico. Adylces were
duly received that the ore had been
shipped-twenty tons Of it. Weeks
passed and the ore did not come. The
smelling company politely asked the
local agent of the railroad when the
ore would arrive. The local agent said
that he had never heard Of it. The
smelling company then appealed to the
general agent of the road. The gen.
eral agent gave it up. Along the line
the question was passed until it
reached an official who started out
tracer for the carload of ore. A tracer
is a document on which every agent,
train conductor and every other per-
son who has had anything to do with
the shipment must say whence he took
it and where he laid it down From
the mine in Mexico the car Of ore was
traced from junction point to junction
point until it was well with the rail-
road company's local yards at Kansas
City. and thence to side tack by the
roundhouse and into the possession of
the master mechanic.
A carload of crushed gold ore looks
like lot of yellow sand ani this par
ticular carload had been knocked
about and disrespected as car of
common sand should be. When the
officials were notified that the tracer
had chased the car into the master me-
chanic'S track they sent HIN note
asking him about the disposition of
the car, giving its number. The mas
ter mechanic turned the note over and
endorsed it on the back: 1.-The car con-
tanned bad quality of sand. Some of
it | used in the sand boxes Of the en-
gineS. but it was not servicable. so l
had it scattered along the right Of
way" The railroad paid the smelter
company $50 a ton 70: tie bad
sand"

Engine Driven Ry Bacteria.

y. p. Melnikoff. the editor of the
Russian journal Technologne. has
made little model of an engine which
depends for its motive power upon the
fermentation of bacteria. Although
the engine of itself has no practical
value il nevertheless furnishes an in
tereSting example Of the power which
can be derived from fermenting bod
les. Mr. Melnikoff decompoS.,s glucose
into its constituents One hundred and
eighty parts glucose will give ninety
two part Sof alcohol and etghty-eight
parts of carbon dioXid gas In cop
per vessel, glucose, an acid phosphate
acetic acid. geletin, wate- G5 per
cent?. and yeast are mixed together.
After twenty-f0ur hours the gas with
in the vessel. at tempera ture of %
degreeSC. as degrees F.. will have
attained a pressure Of four and one
half atmoSphereS. The investor states
that if the vessel containing the Yeast
bacteria be large. and the engine cylin.
der be correspondingly prnportioned,
enough power can be optaine,i 10 oper-
ate an engine uninterruptedly for
twenty or thirty hours Tie fermen-
tation of different bacteria will give
different results, the power produced
depending upon the quantity of carbon
dioXid or other gases generated by
each species of bacteria.

Selecting Timber.

A German paper devoted to wood
working interests states that in select
ing timber it is of the greatest import
ance to ascertain whether the tree
from which it is taken was cut i'm the
winter or in the summer: that which
is cut in the winter being superior
and having higher value. The rea.
son for this is that trees have a resting
period between October and Nav.
during which time the cells contain
starch that is not found in the sum-
mer. The starch serves to close the
pores, making the wood close and i'm
penetrable. so that winter-hewn tim
ber is used exclusively in making bar
rel slaves. To test the timber if is
covered with an idoide solution. which
from the well-known fact that starch
coming into contact with iodide pro-
duces violet color, will give the tim
ber yellow color. if it were cut in
the summer. On the other hand a
tree bewn in winter will have series
of dark ink-colored stripes on a yellow
ground.
