THE WAR IN AFRICA.

At last accounts the Beers were seek.
ing to move their cannon nearer to
General Whites army, SO as to bonn
bard at close range, but Whites bat
tories were able to keep them at dis
lance. The Beers now occupy num-
Der of prominent hills around the Brit
ish position.
The first report has been received OF
the British loss in the fight with the
Beers near Ladysmith on Friday of last
week. The loss amounted to 100 men
killed and wounded.
A reason for the heavy loss among
the Gordon Highlanders fighting in
Natal is that they Insist on wearing
their tartans, declining to give up their
Scotch costume.
Kimberley and MafekiDg we're still
holding out at last accounts.
Lack of ammunition is another Sc
rous trouble now confronting General
White and the British forces al Lady
smith. 1t is reported that they are
running short of ammunition for the
naval guns, which have proved 80 nee
essary in replying to the fire OF the
Beers heavy artillery.
Owing to the unsatety of the town Of
Ladysmith, General White has effected
an arrangement with the Boer general
for the shelter of the wounded and also
refugees from Lsdysmitb, at q neutral
place four miles down the railroad from
Ladysmitb.
The Beers investing Kimberley have
been reinforced by two thousand men
and have corralled valuable stores Of
food intended for the sustenance of the
besieged people
The 6rst battalion of the Gordon
Highlanders, Dlrgal heroes, in which q
son of Gen White is lieutenant, has
sailed from Liverpool for South Africa
Emperor William has issued an order
that no Prussian officers be granted
leave to 60 to South Africa.
Gen. Hildyard and the staff of the
Yorkshire regiment have arrived al
Capetown.
Lord Salisbury, the British Premier
made an important speech dealing with
the Sou. African war and other topic:
at the annual Lord Mayors banquet in
London last night. He declared thai
Great Britain would not accept and die
not expect interference with che war
which she would finish in her own way
What his country desired, he said, was
equal rights for all men of all races
and security for our fellow-subjecis anc
our empire" Lord Salisbury spoke o
the friendly relations of the govern
ments of Great Britain and the United
States. As to nations of Coutinenta
Europe, be said Britsiu desired espec
ally the friendship of Germany.
AT the same banquet Lord Wolseley
announced that orders had been givel
to mobilize another army division TO-
South Africa and that the government
was also prepared to mobilize SECOND
army corps.
The first ship of the British transpor
feet. the Roslin Castle, has arrived a
Capetown and been ordered to Durham
| Natal. Other ships will follow. In {
short time an army will be at Durham
ready to go to Gen. Whites relief a

ALL THE real democrats in the coun.
try. no matter from what State they
hail, are highly gratified at the election
of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky.
The republicans OF his own State made
a furious assault upon him, and were
assisted to the full extent of it's power
by the whole national republican ad-
ministration, and, worse than all. By
deserters from, and traitors to the party
to which they profess allegiance. But,
with the bravery, skill and self-conf-
dence of the most consummste com.
mander he led the intrepid phalap1 OF
his party's true men straight on to VIC
tory, over his malignant and with
ing but PROSTATE foes. With him
as Governor, and Blackburn back
in the Senate, Kentucky will once
more hold up her head among her SIS
hood.

Now that the democrats of Mary.

should do something by which to i'm

State, which are sorely afflicted by the
predominance of negro voters. Self

live in communities subject to negro

A Boy Drowned.

Near Detroit, Socorro county, while
e~ndeavoring to water his horse at a pool
Eddie Yoast, the S-year-old son of
John Yoast, a stockman Of Detroit, was
drowned. The lad struck a hole, sub
merging himself and animal. While try
ing to extricate himself the horse hurled
him headlong into the river. The boy
made a desperate effort to reach the
river bank, but the suction held him
fast. John Stewart, a pumper for the
Baldwin Cattle Company, rushed to the
rescue, but when he reached the lad
life was extinct.
The boys father was on a cattle train
coming from Ell Paso, and the young
man was awaiting the arrival of the
train when he went to his death. AS the
stock train came in sight the pump mar
was issuing from the water with the
dead boy in his arms. He tagged the
train, brought it to a full stop and then
impaired the sad intelligence to the
heart-broken man.
