Steps to Be Taken to Keep Railway

CHICAGO, Nov. R.-The Chronicle to-
morrow will say: John w. Gates, Will
lam EdenbOrn, Isaac L. Erwood and
John Lambert, the heaviest stockholders
in the American steel and wire inter-
ests, have Joined hands with E. H Iar-
rimann and the other members of the
Harrimann-Gould syndicate in a compre-
hensive plan of campaign which has
for its object the consolidation of the
leading trunk railways in the United
States.
The scope of the plan is said to be not
merely one of traffic alliance, but the
welding together of actual ownership in
q determined effort to uphold traffic
rates, independent of the interstate COM
merce commission, or other government
aid.

they did no damage. 1t is believed that
six Beers were killed in the first fight.
THE Beers now surround Kimberley in
great numbers and are bent on lifting
cattle and harassing the British. New
alarm signals were sounded at 10 O'clock
this morning, the enemy having been
sighted in greater numbers and close to
our outposts. They fired on patrol un-
der Maj. Peakman, which engaged them,
but the firing was at long range. The
only casualty was the wounding of Maj.
Ayleff, of the Cape police.
The enemy lifted forty cattle north
east of the sanitarium, by firing eight
shells in the neighborhood of Felsmead's
farm at Kenilworth. They did NO dam
age and retired. Later they fired on a
number Of convicts who were working
near the sanitarium, and eventually went
off with a large number of cattle and
donkeys
The Beers are well mounted, and from
the dips IN the veldt they appear and dis
appear with marvellous rapidity. The
demonstration made to the southwest to-
day was only feint to cover the unsuc-
cessful movement at Kenilworth after
cattle. Their field-gun shooting was poor,
all the shells ia ling short -
