BETTER ABLE TO RESIST,
Joining of British Forces Considered
Sound Judgment.

Joining of British Forces Considered
Sound judgment.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Although there is
no reason to doubt the accuracy of the
dispatch from Cape Town to The Daily
Mail regarding General Yule's move
ments, it is curious that General
Whites telegram to the war Office is
also dated at p. M, but makes no
mention of a joining Of forces.
General Yule's withdrawal was actu-
ated by sound judgment as he would
soon have been surrounded and in a
desperate position. The combined
forces at Ladysmith, now amounting to
some $4,000 men, will be amply suff-
cient to act on the defensive. A few
more victories like Glencoe and Eland-
slaagte, however, would leave the Brit
ish troops without officers.
Victories Count for Little.
While the Beers have failed to take
advantage Of their strategic position,
owing to the incompetence or haste Of
their leaders, the British have no cause
for congratulations over the result of
the Natal operations They have suf-
fered heavy losses and their efforts
have practically gone for naught, they
being practically surrounded by Beers.
1t might have been better to concen-
trate on Ladysmith in the first in
stance, but General White and General
Symons had to yield to political exigen.
cies and had instructions not to aban-
don an inch of territory more than was
necessary. he news of The retirement
from Dundee is received with anxiety.

Joint High COmmissIon VIII Postpone
Action on Questions at Issue.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-It is learned
that owing to the temporary character
of the settlement of the Alaska bound
airy question, there will be no meeting
of the Canadian joint high commission
in the immediate future. The com.
mission adjourned last spring, because
of the statement by the Canadian con-
tingent that they could not undertake
to adjust any of the other important
questions before the commission until
the Alaskan boundary issue was satis-
factorily settled With the boundary
issue still open, it is regarded as useless
to attempt further meetings.

ENGLISH LOSSES HEAVY.


Victory at Glencoe ON Friday Was a
Costly One.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The war Office an.
nounces in the fighting Friday between
Glencoe and Dundee, in Natal, 81 non.
commissioned officers and men were
killed and 151 wounded.
A later dispatch from Sir George
Stewart-White says that Sir William
Penn Symons is brighter, but that the
da"tor can give no further opinion.
The list of officers killed and wound
ed strikingly shows that. although the
British victory was complete, it was
bought at a heavy price. In addition
to Sir William Penn Symons, who is
mortally wounded, two colonels, three
captains and five lieutenants were
killed, and a colonel, three majors, six
captains and ten lieutenants were
wounded.
This heavy loss among the officers
was due, as the latest dispatches from
the front show. to their valiant but in
sensate conduct in sticking to the ira
ditions of the British army and refus.
ing to use the cover of which the men
availed themselves in the storming of
the Boer position on the summit of the
kopje.
Among the rank and file the Hussars
had wounded; the artillery killed
