AUBtRI LINERS PROTEST
Beer Commander Opposes the Use of
Lyddite Shells, Which Have
Wrought Great Havoc
A TEMPORARY ARMISTICE DECLARED.
No HoatiIities of Any Consequence since
That Time, When Each side Attended
the Dead and Wouuded Position of
the British at LadYsmith Reported I'm
proyed-Late News from Kimberley.

London. Nov. 3.-Belated dispatches
from the British camp at Ladysmith
Natal, add little information regarding
| Mondays fight, except the estimates ot
| the Boer losses, which are now said tC
| be 95 killed and 200 wounded. mostly
victims of the artillery shells, which
| have wrought such great havoc that it
| is said that Gen. Joubert, the Boer
| commander-in-chief, has written a let
ter TO Gen. White, the British COM
mander, protesting against the use of
| lyddite. According to all accounts the
| presence at Ladysmith of the long
range naval guns and splendid shoot
! ing of the blue jackrts have materially
| improved the position of the British.
| temporary armistice was declared
| Monday evening to allow of the col
| lection of the dead and wounded.
A dispatch from Kimberley, dated
October 30, said all the wounded were
doing well. Small bodies of Beers,
| about 400 strong, were then frequently
seen. They apparently came from Mafe-
king for the purpose either of assisting
in the attack on Kim berley or to resist
the advance of reinforcements. The
absence of water outside the place
causes the Beers to continually move
their camps.
While the wires to Ladysmith are
cut, the optimism of the war officials
yesterday evening in refusing to be-
lieve that Ladysmith was completely
invested or Colenso captured. appears
to be justified. as this morning it was
asserted that the railroad is still open
and through traffic has been conducted
with the greatest caution. What, how
ever, was only a rumor yesterday even
ing may, it is claimed, be a reality at
any moment, as Gen. Joubert, with a
large and wonderfully noble force, is
expected to detach force of several
thousand men and make dash at the
railroad.
Rumors of all kinds are springing up
here. 1t is even asserted that Gen.
White has been compelled to fall back
on Pietermaritzburg, leaving his
wounded behind. Probably such ru-
mors have their origin in the recollec-
tion of the ominous silence which pre-
coded the evacuation of Dundee. But
on the other hand it is asserted that
the conditions are altered and the
British guns now seem more than
edudA W Iic dlClIIcfy VI Ihe Doors,
thus enhancing the difficulty of any as
sault on the British lines.
VIII Mobilize $4,000 More Troops. |
London, Nov. 3.-An army order is |
sued this afternoon instructs the proper |
to mobilize 35 battalions of |
militia at their respective headquar- |
ters on various dates after November |
90. British battalion contains nearly |
!, 900 men, and is the unit of the army. |
Accordingly the order of to-day means |
the mobilization of nearly 35, 900 sol |
diers. |

upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation OF a good,
sound democratic newspaper The

Mysterious Crime at Jefferson c,,x

JeHerson City, Mo-, Nov. S.-An un-
known man about so years of age was

der. A letter on the body indicates
that the man may be Edward F. Gil
bert, of Colum bia, Mo. The occupants
OF the house say he was not admitted

OPP Ireland appeared somewhat sur
prised this evening when he heard
that Gen. Funston of Kansas was re-
ported as about to sue him for libel
on account of statements attributed
to him in a Chicago interview He
said he had made no charges against
Gen. Funston, but had in conversa-
tion expressed the opinion that the
statements of the San Francisco pa
per charging the General with hav-
ing taken a priests robe from a Phil
ippine church should be denied by
Gen. Funston at once lest a failure to
deny lead to a wrong impression.
The archbishop admitted the sub
stantial accuracy of the Chicago in
terview but was not willing to admit
that he made any libelous state
ments.

increased from 10000 to 10000. As
the shares are 500 each, this means a

A NEW TRUST
To Embrace a Lot of Zig Steel Mills. Is
Now In Process OF Formation.

-
Chicago, January 20.-The rev
trust" involving the consolidation of
important Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana plants manufacturing exclusive
ly billet" steel and tin plate billets,
is said to have been planned at a
meeting of the representative mill
owners which was held here to-day.
William H. Moore, OF Chicago, who
was the maving spirit in the recent
American tin plate deal, is credited
with the promotion of the steel
negotiations, though tin plate inter
ests are said in no way to dominate
the new combination.
The consolidated companies, it is
said, are not to be regarded, from the
exclusive nature of their product, as
direct competitors of either the Federal
or Carnegie steel companies, though
in some quarters the opinion is cur
rent that, once the combination of the
billet" mills is effected, its absorption
by the Federal company will be a nat
ural and not improbable step. The
proposed consolidation includes plants
that furnish a very extensive percent
age of the raw material consumed by
merchant mills" Myron c. Wick,
