at the evening session Our Sunday Schoo'-

Rev. Dr. Charles E. Jefferson Of the Br adway

He spoke in sort OF Sociaistic vein, and SAID
among other things. that in future years there
might arise a sanguinary conflict between the poor
and the rich uness the conditions changed for the
better He advised the wives OF millionares 10 visit
the slurns and TO teach the Bible the children Of
the poor Those children who had been taught the
Bible would be found defending the richer classes
In the days Of strife between the rch ana the
poor.
He said that the Bible was not taught in the
dren how to write and at the same time let their
religious education be neglected. The haro that
knew how 10 write and was not directed by
mind that had received the benefits or religious
training, he said, could easily forge check II
the present conditions Of education were not
changed he continued. there would surely be
warfare between the rich and poor In the future.
The Roman Catholic Church in its parochiaI
schools had already solved the question OF the
training of young children and he thought every
other church should have its own parochial scnoois
where the children would be taught not only inc
arts and sciences. but the Bible.

EXAsPERATION IN ENGLAND.
SURPRISED AND INUNDATED AT TIL
SITUATION IN NATAL.

SITUATION IN NATAL.
London, Nov 23.-The fact that fresh portions
Of Natal are being overrun daily by the Beers is
producing evaporation IN that colony and In
tense humiliation In Great Britain where the
lea of a possible extensive violation OF British
soil was so contenptuously dismissed in the
early stages Of the war.
Operators on the Stock Exchange here are be-
coming nervous. and the continued fall in con-
soils exemplifies the restlessness Of the market.
The rumors that peace deputation from Presi-
dent Kruger is or its way to Cape Town for the
purpose OF ascertaining the terms upon which
an Immediate cessation Of hostilities could be
secured are discredited here. and 1t is said that
~ such a deputation has been sent 1t will meet
with scant courtesy, those who are conduct
ing the war; Il is added. will be satisfied with
nothing less than debating terms Of peace at
Pretoria. after a parade of British strength
throughout the Transvaal
In the meanwhile from the scanty and enas-
oulated dispatches which are dribbling in from
the front it is difficult TO form opinion Of the
true situation. The Boer invaders are occasion
ing constant surprises. They have already cut
off two portions Of the Ladysrnith relieving force
from their base ~ supplies. and with great ra-
pidity are advancing Pietermaritzburg with
I.C"4t4e.s ahC O,ner artillery. General Clery's

According to the latest reports from Natal. the
artillery duel was begun again this morning at

appears 70 be an admission OF weakness and il
Is thought the troops may be al the mercy Of the
strong Boer forces reported in that neighbor-
hood.

Beers FAIL TO INCITE BAsUTos

London Nov GAN official dispatch from
Sir Alfred Miner to Mr.. Chamberlain reports
that thus far the efforts Of the Beers to provoke
an uprising among the Basutos or to start a
civil war; have been unsuccessful. The Gov
ernor Of Cape Colony says:
The Beers informed Chief Jonathan that II he
would join them he would be defended. II he
remained neutral, they told him he would not
be molested, but thew declared that he must
expel the British magistrate and allow his
Fellow trlbesmen 10 pass freely into the Orange
Free State. whose Government in return. would
guarantee Basutoland to the Basutos in per-
petuity. The great concern of the Beers is the
crops, which will rot unless Basuto labor can
be obtained. Evidently the natives have been
affected by the reports Of repeated Boer sue
cesses, but their general attitude is satisfac-
tory.
