RELIEF OF KIMBERLY
It Is Believed General Methuen May
Have Saved the Beleaguered
Town.
BUNCH OF BOERS KILLED
Probable That the Transvaal Troops May
Be Planning to Attack Methuen from
the Rear-The Fate Of Lady
smith Unknown.

London, December 1.-While rumol's
of the relief of Kimberly are current on
the stock exchange to- day. they may be
premature. There seems no doubt the
pressure on the garrison has been much
hghterfed by General Methuens sue
cesses, and actual relief Of the place is
likely to be fact very soon. The clew
to the urgent reasons which dictated
Methuen's hurried march may be found
in Governor Miners hint to the relief
committee at Cape Town to be prepared
for the reception of 10000 refugees, indi-
eating the garrison must have had rea-
SON to fear the reduction of Kimberly
by starvation and disease. The most
recent news from Kimberly comes by
way of Pretoria, and almost seems to
show that Kimberly and Marketing are
acting in concert with Gen. Methuen,
for at the time the battle was raging at
Gras Pan both Colonel Kekewich and
Colonel Baden Powell made sorties and
assailed the beleaguers. Colonel Keke
wich inflicted considerable loss on the
Beers, two shells killing nine and
wounding seventeen in a group. 1t is re-
ported that Methuen resumed his north
west course Wednesday in order to form
junction. with the Kimberly forces
Saturday or Sunday. 1t is suggested
that the Beers may be hurrying to at
tack General Methuen's rear, but as re
endorsements have been pushed rapidly
forward from the Orange river and
Deaar, they ought to circumvent such
designs. So far as known, the Lady
smith relief force is still at Frere,
though the bridge was perhaps suffi-
ciently stable to permit it's passage No
vember 80, in which case the opposing
forces may already have come in con-
tact near Colenso, where apparently the
Beers are strongly int1enched on the
north side of the river.
London, December IA special re-
ceived to- day from Frere, dated No
vember 2S, says that while attempting
to blow up a 500-foot bridge over the
river at Colenso, the Beers We're driven
back by the British artillery and
mounted infantry.

SENATOR HANNA Is URGED.
Many Republicans Ask Him to Manage the
Next Campaign.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 1.-Concerning
reports that Senator Hanna would not
succeed himself as chairman of the
national Republican committee. it can
be stated on authority OF Hanna's most
intimate friends, he has no desire to
manage another campaign and unless
very strong pressure is brought to bear
upon him, he will probably decline to do
so. He is almost daily receiving from
influential party leaders. representing
practically all sections of the country,
letters to the effect that he has their
fullest confidence and support, urging
that he is the strongest man available for
the place. Members of his family, be-
lieve however, the condition Of his health
is such that he should not under any
circumstances assume the responsibility
of managing another presidential cam
paign. 1t has been suggested that
Hanna be made member of the executive
committee having personal charge of the
campaign finances.

BREVITlkA

Gen. Butler has kicked clean over.
He protests against Bryan and the
Chicago platform. He has been a long
time learning his mind.
There are 1000 Oregon volunteers who
have just returned from the slaugh-
tering Of the ~innocents in the Philip
pines. They are reported as saying
that all that our troops had done did
not seem to make a lasting impress
ion;' that the natives are intensely
hostile to Americans that 100, 900 men
are necessary to subdue Luzon alone.'''
We give Senator Morgan the benefit
of the following as given in an inter-
view by the New York Tribune:
senator Morgan does not say that
Bryan is not a fit man to nominate, but
he intimates a n holding the views
Mr.. Bryan does on expansion is hardly
the mar to e in the fight; but he is
willing to leave the nomination to the
convention"
So it is anti-expansion that pinches
and renders unfit for a democratic NOM
ination in the mind of the Alabama
senator.

EIGHTY RIVERS AND WATER
POWERS

The water-powers of North Carolina
are known to be great. There are quite
eighty rivers in this state. In the west
where probably o than half of these
arctic be found the power must be in
creased by eason of the mountains
and the hills. Prof. J. A. Holmes, who
is now visiting Wilmington. has done
a great deal in giving practical infor-
nation as to the various rivers and re-
sources. He is at the head of the geo.
logical survey and has been assisted by

States Weather Bureau, Prof. George
F. Swain Of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, E. W. Myers, J. B.
Lewis and j. w. Gore, professor of
physics in the University of North
Carolina. The bulletin issued by the
N c. Survey is worthy of attention
and gives a view OF what has been so
we'll accomplished. A great deal of
work has been done within a few years.
