London. October e.--The complete

Is poorly compensated for by the mass

length and character of the debates when

Lord Salisbury's whip to the Lords is
sued tonight. says parliament will deal
with matters Of gravtss moment. The late
despatch from Lourenzo Marques relat
Ing to the chasing of the steamer Guelph
by the cruiser Philomel, caused some stir,
especially as it was announced that the
Guelph had landed at Durham a cases of
ammunition for the Beers. There Is q
pretty general feeling that ammuniti on
ought not to be allowed TO be forwarded.
The Pail Mall Gazette referring to the
matter, says:
"Ihere is some hope that the ammuni-
ton would be seized at Durham as Natal
possesses a ministry whose loyalty is un-
questioned. Had not the Filipinos been
given arms by Americans with which to
fight Spain, Gen. Otis would long ago
have been enjoying bis ease at home
Similarly with the Beers, we may have
to pay heavily in blood for the apathy the
Cape government has exhibited In this
matter
Lord Vantage, president of the British
Red Cross society, win shortly issue an
appeal for contributions to aid in the
work of the society, which, he says, will
provide two hospital railway trains and
a hospital ship. The Duke of Westminster
and Lord Vantage have given 100
pounds each and baron Rothschild has
raised ], 100 pounds among his friends.
Some indication of the war office esti-
mate of the duration of the campaign is
given by the fact that the authorize
have contracted for eight months supply
of bread and other military requisites
rendered necessary by tine absence of the
bulk of the army service corps. whom the
war office thus evidently calculates will
be at home again by the lightning of
May.
1t appears that although the war
office called upon 25, orc reserves, only the
pick of them-some GOODWILL be retained
with the oolors. The authorities are
pleased at the application of number of
reseryists belonging to the unmobilized
classes, who are volunteering for foreign
service. -.,..-.
The war Office announces that wives OF
reservists will get six pence and each
child two pence daily, while the husbands
and fathers remain with the colors.
Baron Tweedmouth presided at meeting
of the council Of London radicals tonight,
which, after a speech by Lord Tweed
mouth deploring the unwise policy of the
government whose dispatches he declared
were not couched In conciliatory terms,
adopted a resolution in favor of arbitra-
tion and calling upon the government
to take steps tending to settlement of
the difficulty with the Transvaal by nego-
tiations for arbitration.
