London, Nov. 11.-Today has brought
forth no great news and little change
has taken place either in Natal or on
the north and northeastern frontiers of
Cape Colony. The chief fact is the
opening of the bombardment Of Kim
berley on Tuesday by the Free State
artillery which proved, according 10
an official statement. utterly ineffec
tive. The Boer investment of the town
however, is said to be Tightening.
Skirmishing between the Kimberley
mounted troops and the Beers early in
the week resulted in severe BoeI losses
the British force losing one killed and
one wounded.
Advices from Orange river confirm
the report of the Free State troops ad-
vance upon the north of the colony,
but owing to the retirement Of the
British forces from the borderland no
serious collision has yet occurred. The
coming week, however, is certain to
see important developments i'll this
district. Dispatches from Mafelling
show that Col. Baden-Powelrs little
force is still not merely holding rs
own, but is daily infiicting more or
less severe punishment upon the Beers,
whose artillery has apparently pToveI

Nothing has filtered through today

prelude to the national convention of

Among other matters of business the

IN THE LAST DITCH
GoebeI Falls Back on Claim of
Fraud.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1.-GoebeI now
claims the state by 1900 He also
claims frauds in the mountain counties
a contest is certain.
GoebeTs action is only in line with
what has been predicted. 1t is a well
known fact that under ordinary condi-
tions the mountain couties are repubH-
can and noting his sure defeat by the
returns at hand he naturally falls back
on the claim of republican frauds. He
fails to recognize evidences in the dem
ocratic returns, but rests his waning
chances on contest of the Taylor dis
tricts where he hopes to turn the tide
by the power held through the infam-
Gus Goebel election law.

SEES RAINBOW
rir. Bryah's Interpretation of The
Late Election

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.-AIr. Bryan
said today: Taken as a whole the
election returns from ali the states
gives announcement to those who hope
for the overthrow Of the republican
party in 19C0. 1t is evident that those
who believed in the Chicago platform
in 1886, still believe in it. 1t is also
evident that hostility to the Chicago
platform among those who opposed It
is not as pronounced as it was in 1896.
1t is apparent, also. that there is
a growing hostility to monopolies
which have srown up under the re-
publican administration. 1t is safe to
say that the American people would,
by large majority, pronounce against
an attempt TO raise the standing army
to 100000, and it is equally certain that
upon a direct vote on the issue, a large
majority of the people would pro-
nOunce against an imp=rialistic policy
which would develop a colonial system
after the pattern of European govern
ments."
