Will Hold His Scat.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. IA precedent
having been established in the case of
Governor Hill, who for a short time held
a seat in the United States senate, and
the goyernorship, John Walter Smith,
the newly elected Democratic governor
of Maryland, will, it is said, keep his seat
in congress until his Inauguration as
governor, the second Monday in Janu-
airy next. He was elected to congress
from the first district last November.
Mr.. Smith, as a representative OF the
tidewater section of Maryland. is deeply
interested in the river and harbor bill
and he also wants his opinion on the
democratic presidential nomination to
become known. He is a sound money
democrat. The governor must decide
when a special election for congressman
shall be held in the district. The prob
able democratic candidates for the nomi-
nation are Ex-Governor Elihu Jackson,
ex-Congressman Joshua w. Miles, State
Senator VIM. F. Applegarth and ex-State
Senato Thomas A. Smith.

Last Weeks Fighting.

New York, Nov. 10.-A dispatch to the
World from Estcourt says: Trustworthy
Information concerning the actual state
of affairs at I.adysmith comes from two
civilians who arrived today, having es-
capped from the besieged town by evad-
ing the British patrols and stealing
through the Boer lines. They say tina
both town and camp are invested. The
bombardment lis heavy, but it's effect
is reported to be petty. The Beers are
slightly superior in strength, but the
British forces maintain a vigorous de-
Tense, fighting daily. There We're three
attacks IN this side of Ladysmith last
Friday, out the accounts previously re-
ceived through native runners were
greatly exaggerated.
The main British attack was on the
Boer batteries, stationed to the eastward.
The British loss in that section was about
$50 killed or wounded. 1t is supposed that
the Beers suffered far more. There was
fighting also in the direction of Colenso
on Friday. The fight was a smart at
| tack made by Colonel Brocklehurst on the
Free State Beers posted near Dewdrop
on the southwest. The British drove the
Beers back there and disabled one of the
guns which had been Smelling the British
camp. The British lost in that fight two
officers and eight soldiers killed and 20
officers and men wounded.
Active operations continued Saturday.
General White requested General Joubert
to permit the women children and non
combatant males to withdraw from
Iadysmith in order to escape from the
bombardment. General Joubert replied
by inviting them all to come under the
protection of his guns on l~sumbulwana
hill, but he said hat he SHOULD consider
the men who accepted this offer of secur-
ity. having borne arms, as prisoners of
war.
The mayor OF Ladysmith called a mass
| meeting of all the inhabitants on Satur-
day to consider the proposition. The
townsfolls resolved to accept no terms
from the enemy emphasizing that deci-
sion by singing tire national anthem with
the shirt characteristic of the colony.

Week in the Market.

New York, Nov. 11.-Disappointment
over the failure of the outside public to
come into the stock market after the
elections, the renewed ~stringency in the
money market with the calling of loans
by the banks and the sympathetic effect
of Generalization in one or two specu-
lative footballs of the stock market have
undermined prices. After a period of
resistance to the reaction on Monday
and early on Wednesday,, there ollowed
a general liquidation movement of spec
ulative holdings and a sharp break in
prices throughout the list. The average
level of prices for the week is materi-
ally lower and the Wall street mood is
pessinnistic in view of the absence of any
prospect for the local money market.

with the possibility of exercising thei,
privileges under the tutelage of one of
the great powers, though in such an ar
rangement the United States, by virtue
of the original settlement, would doubt
less have some share.
The intense interest in the war has not
abated and the enormous amount of the
Mansion house funds is but one instance
OF the practical form such feeling as
sumes throughout Great Britain. Hun
dreds Of all classes are spending their
time and money to provide comforts for
those fighting in South Africa. It is
announced that the queen will offer
Lady Symons, widow of Genera Symons,
the first vacant suite of rooms in Hamp-
ton court, where, under similar circum-
stances now live Lady Napier and other
widows of British heroes. The losses
suffered by General Whites forces have
only helped to swell the continuous pro-
cession Of regular, volunteer and ex-
army officers who have importuned the
wal office to send them out. Such en-
thuslasm, however, does not seem to
have spread to Ireland, for it is said that
the families of some of the soldiers Of
the irish regiments recently engaged
have refused them permission to return
to their homes. Such bitterness seems
almost incredible, but it is vouched or
by an Irish high. sheriff.
Although the general feeling of SYM
pathy is u~ndoubted, it o not prevent

The country around Ladysnith is emil
nerltly suited for cavalry, yet. with one
brilliant exception, that of General
Brocklehurst's %sortie, this arm has been
apparently of little service in either at
lacking or in PRESERVING the lines of
communication, while the capture of the
Eighteenth husesars must have had a
most serious moral effect. The intelli-
gence department of the war office comes
in for tart comment. 1t is said that Lord
Wolseley himself is unable to under
stand the ignorance of this department
regarding many essentials of the Beers
strength, especially their artillery.
Lord Aberdeen, speaking at Scarbor-
ough, referred to anada as the bright

COL. ROGERS DEAD WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN PINE
 BLUFF.
GRAND OLD MAN.
Once in Congress, Served as Post- master-Trusteo ofFirst Meth.
 Odist Church Erected Here

The sad intelligence of the death of Col. A. A. c. Rogers, which oc- cured at Los Angeles, Cal, on the evering O. July 27th, reached Pine Bluff Monday night, and cast deep gloom of sorrow over the entire community.
 Col. Rogers was about 80 years of age. He came to, and settled in, Pine Bluff, from Tennessee, his na- tive State, in 1853. and took an ae- tive interest in the early progress and history of Pine Bluff. He con- ducted a successful mercantile busi- ness in this city before the war and enjoyed the distinction of being trustee of the first Methodist church erected in Pine Bluff.
 He was a man who was universal ly esteemed, owing to bis strong convictions, and although a Union man during the days of secession, be main tained the friendship and confidence of those who opposed his views. Soon after the war he was sent to Congress from this (the Sec ond) district and proved valuable man in that position. After the ex- piration of his term in that body, he was appointed postmaster of the Pine Bluff postoffice.
 Twelve years ago he moved to Los Angeles, Cal, where he spent the remaining days of his useful life with his daughters, Mrs. E. T. Hag- gin and Mrs. John H. PirtIe, his faithful wife having died ten years ago.
 h Col. Rogers Pine Bluff had a true and devoted friend. Although many miles away, he took an inter- est in her welfare and was eyer ready to assist her if be knew his assistance might be beneficial. He was devoted hustaId and father. To the bereaved relatives we ex- tend our heartfelt sympathy and condolence h the hour of sorrow and affi;ction.

When the person to whom the voucher is made out, cannot write, he shall sign by mark, with witness signature as proof.
 The case was continued until Fri day August l1th.

FRANCHISE HAS EXPIRED.
The Papers Upon Which MT. Wood
 Was Operating Arc Useless Now

The renewed franchise, which was granted MT Henry c. Wood, the electric car line promoter, expired last night, August z, and now Pine Bluff will have to sit and wait until some other capitalists take up the matter and attempt to secure the much needed enterprise for our city.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the Aldermen and the citizens in general of this city, but that MT. Wood was working in good faith. He was at his own expense during the entire time he worked to land fhe electric line and light plant for this city, and the blame for his fail ure to do so, should not fall wholly upon his shoulders.
 The petition presented the City Council last night by citizens of this city for the formation of public improvement district, means a step in the direction of the municipal ownership of public utilities.
