NEW YORK. Nov. r7.-Russell Sage
Is quoted today as saying 70 a news-

he thought of the United States treas

II believe Secretary Cages actioa has
saved the financial world from disas7

touch with business enterprises during
the past few months can fail to have
realized the stringency Of the money
market Ready money appeared to be
extraordinarily scarce and those who
had it held it or demanded the highest
class securities before they let 60.
II know OF banks In different parts
OF the country which had the hardest
kind OF a time in realizing money. And
yet they held securities that ordinarily
would have been negotiable anywhere.

ation. They were making rich har-
vest of it but the government has stop

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Major Wolf
Murray has returned TO PietermarItz-
burr to take command of the line of
communications, and Colonel Long. Of
the Royal artillery, has taken command
nj Estcourt. The forces now at Pleter-
maritzburg are too weak to attempt to
re.open communications Artillery
and cavalry especially are badly need
ed and it necessarily will take avery
long time to obtain either. owing TO the
difficulty OF entralnlng and the necessi-
ty Of allowing the horses to rest after
the long sea voyage.
From the indIscrlmlnate distribution
NJ the various divisions at unexpected
poIuts 1t seems clear that the original
plang of General Butler have been
wholly changed. Not the slightest
word regarding the new plans has been
allowed to escape. 1t has been report
ed that the Belmont fight arose owing
10 the advance Of a British column to
relieve Kimberley, but this seems In
correct, all Of the most reliable ac-
counts reporting the engagement as
growing out OF reconnaissance. The
announcement OF the arrival of General
MethuIn at Orange river, however,
doubtless means that arrangements are
IN a forward state for an advance from
hat point, II the advance has not al
ready begun.
Activity Of the Beers.
Kimberley was safe on Friday, Now
ember 10. Last Tuesday n Boer force
OF GOO entered Allwal North. Cape Colo
ny. holsted the flag Of the Free State
aud declared the town and district to
be part OF the republic. The activity OF
the Beers in this locality would almost
point to the necessity OF insuring the
safety of the column marching to the
relief OF Kimberley from attack from
this direction or from Bloemfontein.
In view OF the retlcence Of General
Suller II Is almost useless to speculate
regarding the report OF a movement to
relieve Kimberley. 1t can only be In
tended to withdraw the Beers, II possi-
Bile, from Natal. The object of the oc-
cupatlon of Allwal North is understood
to be to prevent the large quantity Of
ammunition at Herschel being forwarded
10 Jamestown and thence to the Queens
own. The Beers have notified the in
habItants that no looting Will be allow
ed. There are reliable reports OF mys-
terlous movements of Free State COM
mandoes along the Orange river, and
important developments are expected.
Everything tends to show that the re-
lief OF Kimberley could only be scfely
undertaken by a strong column.
Lourenzo Marques continues to send
Joubert stories. the latest being that no
news has been received from him at
Pretoria for three days and that 1t is
sumored he was taken prisoner.
It's announced that the Duke Of Con-
naught was among the first to seek em-
ployment in the war and even offered to
waive his seniority for this purpose,
but 1t was not deemed expedlent that
an officer SO senior to Sir Redvers Bull
Ter should serve under him. The duke
was greatly disappointed.

FRANKFORT. KY, Nov. 1.-THE
proposition to-day from Goebers law.
yers 10 throw out the entire vote OF
Jefferson county, which includes
Louisville, was not wholly unlocked for
by the Republican leaders here. It Is
now said Senator Deboes visit here last

Ing definitely to what extent Governor
Bradley will support Taylor In the
event that Goehe Is given the certih-
cate Of election, based on this proceed
ing. Senator Deboa and Governor

a third party acted as "go-between.'
Deboe says he Is satisfied Bradley
will stand by Taylor and will vigor-
ously resist Goebel Senator Lindsay

torneys for the anti-Goebel side, before
the state election commission.
The Republicans have found prece-
