clients would abide by their decision,
and would maintain a free ferry.
Supervisor Jenkins said he thought
the evidence Of the people interested
should have been heard first, but the
attorneys had consumed all the time,
and although it was time for adjourn,
ment no witnesses had been heard on
either side.
F. ]. Dwyer testified that the place
where it was proposed to run the ferry
is just at the.town, and with thef ferries
so close together if one ferry boat is
on one side of the river and the other
on the other side there would be great
danger at low water of accidents to
steamers and barges.
Captain J. H. Roberts Of the Sacra-
mento Transportation Company also
testified that it would be bad for the
boats, as they could not be straighten-
ed out with their lows in time. The
turn would be a bad place for the
ferry
P. J. Ruhl also gave testimony as to
the inexpediency of granting the petit
ton.
Charles Hack testified that he did not
use the ferry much, but that it would
be a great convenience and saving to
the people on the Yolo side. He had
talked with a number of them.
Manuel Contente said he was a land
owner on the other side and used the
ferry daily The cost of ferriage to him
was from $3.50 to $50 a year. He
brought his produce to Sacramento and
bought his supplies here.
Charles Schreiner favored a free ferry
as being a good thing for the poor Yolo
farmers, on whom the present one is
a heavy tax. 1t would be a boon to
the horses also, as they put on four
horse loads for two horses in order to
save paying so much ferriage.
Frank Brown lived on the Yolo side
and was opposed to the free ferry, the
present one being good enough for him.
as he got his ferriage free.
After hearing as much testimony as
they cared to the Supervisors took the
matter under advisement until later in
the week.

BoMBARDMENT OF MAFEKING.

LONDON, Nov. A special corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail at Mafeking,
under date of October %, says:
General Cronje's bombardment of
Mafeking was monotonous. The Beers
fired sixty-two shells, but did no harm,
the whole town-even the ladies-laughing
at the affair. He threatens to bring a
forty-pounder from Pretoria. Cronje says
he is sorry for the women's sake that he
shelled the town. but it was not playing
the game to send dynamite trucks among
his men. Fifteen hundred of his COM
mand have since departed to the south
ward. Small parties of our garrison is
sued forth nightly and harassed the out
post. 1 hear that the Daily Mails CORE
spondent at Lohatsi is a prisoner in the
hands of the Boers.'
CAPE TOWN. Nov. / delayed in trans
mission). 1.-The Cape Times says it has
reliable information that there have been
no casualties among the British at Ma
feking since October 49, After the heavy
bombardment General Cronje asked the
town to surrender. Colonel Baden-Powel
was asleep when the messenger arrived
but on being awakened received him hos
pitably and politely replied: II will lei

the artillery shells, which have wrought

the British commander, protesting against
the use Of lyddite. According to all ac-
counts the presence at Ladysmith of the
long-range naval guns and the splendid
shooting Of the bluejackets have materi-
ally improved the position of the British.
temporary armistice was declared Mon
day evening to allow of the collection of
the dead and wounded.
A dispatch from Kimberley dated Octo-
Der 29 said all the wounded were doing
well. Small bodies Of Beers about 400
strong were then frequently seen. They
apparently came from Mafeking for the
purpose either of assisting in the attack
on Kimberley or to resist the advance OF
reinforcements. The absence of water
outside the place causes the Beers to con-
ttnually move their camps.

ENGLAND CONFIDENT OF
UNCLE SANS FRIENDSHIP

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The rumors of the
Continental anti-British coalition continue
to occupy the French papers. Referring
to the alleged Anglo-American under
standing, said to be the outcome of the
Spanish-American war, the Figaro says:
The Washington Cabinet is convince
that had 1t not been 70 the resolute atti-
tude of Great Britain the Mckinley ad-
ministration would have had to face a
european coalition in Spains behalf to
deprive the United States of the fruits of
victory. The English played so we'll on
thls string that at the present moment if
Europe did not remain in a position of
strict neutrality it would not be long be-
Iore United States fleet showed its flag
ON the eastern and southern coasts of
Africa. That is the Emperor's nightmare
and 1t will be used as an argument In
favor OF an Increase of the German navy.

AN ACT OF COURTESY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Permission has
been given to agents of the British Gov
ernment to compress in New York and
Boston large shipment of Canadian hay
destined for the use of the British army
in South Africa. 1t was represented to
the Treasury Department that at present
there are no suitable presses in the Do
minion which are available. and as it is
important that the shipment should leave
these ports not later than the 18th of the
present month the Government was ap-
pealed to to make the concession This
was done as an act of courtesy to he
British Government and is not regarded
as a precedent. The British agents rep
resented that's while the hay shipments
from Canada probably would be very
large they expected to have modern com
presses ready for use within a short timt
In the sections where the hay is raised.

Sheffield yesterday. that the military pre-
parations in the difficulty with the Trans
vaal could not be Kept abreast of the dip
lomatic negotiations has evoked severe
comment on the part of the German press.
The Neuste Nachrichten says: This as
sertion will amaze the world, and espe-
cially Germany. for it implies either that
the army and diplomacy of Great Britain
are unequally balanced or that both are
inefficient. For the purpose of compari-
son We need but recall Germany's pre-
paredness in 1870 and the fact that Count
Won Moltke on the first day of tie mobili-
zation was found reading a novel. Lord
