BRITISH REINFoRcEMENTs.

CAPE TOWN, November 2.-Delay-
ed in transmission)-Th British trans
port Ninevah arrived to-day from Eng
land, bringing the New South Wales
Lancers from Aldershot. The Lancers
on landing were enthusiastically well
coined by the municipal authorities and
the populace.
The presence Of the Lancers was
eagerly seized upon at once as afford
ing the people Of Cape Colony an OPP
portunity Of showing their gratitude
for the help rendered by a sister colony.
The news of the losses at Ladysmith
caused an unmistakable depression, es-
pecially when coupled with the fact
that the Beers invaded the colony al
most simultaneously.
The Dutch of the colony are showing
themselves loyal to the British govern
ment, and so far as has been ascer-
tanned few of them have joined the
Beers.
The Boer prisoners have arrived at
Simonstown, near Cape Town, where
the ywere well treated.

AN EXPEDITION
Left Manila. Last Evening, for Some
Northern Point.

Northern Point.
MANILA, November G. . y. m.-Thls
evening a fleet of transports and gunboa,s
left Manila for the most important expedi-
ton Of the autumn campaign. It's desu-
nation is supposed to be Bagupan or some
other northern point
Gen. Wheaton commands, with a brigade
consisting Of the Thirteenth infantry. the
Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the
Sixth artillery and two gatlings
The transports Sheridan, Francisco do
Reyes and Aztec carry the troops. with tho
gunboat Helena as escort
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to
arrange a rendezvous with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the other
warships that are patroling the north
coast Of Luzon.
The landing will be made under cover
OF the guns Of the feet II Is assumed
here that the purpose of the expedition
is to move down the Dagupan-Manila
railroad toward Tarlae. or to prevent
Aguinaldos forces making another bass
farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong
holds of the insurgents in the north,
and It is supposed the points where
most of the filibustering parties land.
Since the beginning OF the HOSTILE
ties it has been the unanimous opinion
of military experts there that Dagupan
should be made a base OF operations,
but sufficient troops have heretofore
been lacking. With Generals Wheaton,
Macarthur and Lawton moving upon
Tarlac from three directions, and the
mountains hemming IN the other side,
the insurgent capital will soon become
untenable
Aguinaldo may attempt % shift his
headquarters to the rich tobacco coun-
try at the northern end OF the island.
Possibly he may slide around Gen. Law
tens front to the southern provinces:
but, as MacArihur's and LAwton's
troops are spread across the country
from Angeles TO Cabanataun. II will be-
difficult for the insurgents 10 escape.
Should the concerted operations sue
coed. organized insurrectiOn On large
scale should be at an end early next
spring. although guerilla warfare Ia
likely to continue for long time.
No one anticipates that the ingur-
gents will make many hard battles
The problem is to move the troops
about the country, 20 maintain trans
portation and 70 hold the territory
gained.
The moral effect OF the arrival OF
large American army IL calculated upon
to sap Aguinaldo's strength by deser-
tons and through the loss Of hope
among the supporters CT the reYoluts on

Since Wheeling Ice and Storage
Company have decided to conduct an
ice palace this winter an ice polo
league is very much talked of in sport
ing circles in the city. The intention
is to have at least eight clubs in the
league AS a starter two clubs have
already been made up. OneJis COM
posed of members of the Rough Rid
ers'' cycle club and will be known as
the Rough Riders" The other will
be composed of members of the Car
roll club The Linsley Institute, Ca
thedral High and City High schools
will be invited to furnish teams for
tae league, the remaining three to be
secured from the various athletic clubs.
The game is popular wherever facil-
tiles are furnished for playing it.
Among the schools in and about New
York City every winter the race for the
interschoolastic championship is watch
ed with as much interest as the result
of the football season. All the larger
colleges in the East are represented
each winter by either an ice polo or
hocky team, but the interest shown is
not as great as among the prep schools.
Judging from the present outlook
the league is assured. 1t is a certainty
that the league will not go begging LOT
a sufficient number of clubs as ice
skating is very popular in town.

The campaign in Ohio has reached
the bet-y'-hat stage. The brass
band and the campaign orator have
filled their mission and in their wake
has followed that industrious process
sion euphoniously dubbed the hust-
lers and healers. While there is great
activity in both parties in the district
across the river it must be confessed
the class of men who depend upon the
liberal distribution of swag to electrify
them for the combat are more in evil
denee in the Republican ranks than in
the camp of the Democracy. A well
informed party said yesterday in
speaking to the Register that the Re
publican executive committee of Bel
mont county has had at its disposal
more than double the funds of any
previous campaign for twenty years.
While a portion of this has been in
vested in stump speakers and brass
bands the major part will go to get
electors on Tuesday. 1t is estimated
by those in position to know some
thing of the inside workings of the
State committee that at least $4,000
has been apportioned to Belmont
from the Hanna corruption fund. Add
to this the $1,000 coming from the
county officials and federal Office hold
ers and some idea of the stupendous
effort being made to hold the county
for the dominant party cam be OBJ
tanned. But as is usually the case
when the salacious scent of the seduc-
tive pelf is whitfield by the party pa
triots, the money is causing no little
dissatisfaction in its distribution. Fa-
voritism of the narrowest and most
fragrant character is said to be ramp
ant and recrimination of the most BIT
ter kind is heard upon every hand.
The Republican executive committee is
charged with playing hand in hand
with certain factions in the river front
towns while others are left to hold
the bag. One man went SO far yester-
day as to say that State funds are be-
ing diverted from their intended use
to boost the chances Of j. ]. Gill, Re-
publican candidate for Congress. The
friendship Of certain members Of the
county, committee for the Steubenyille
man and some suspicious movements
of the past few days are alleged causes
for the uneasiness upon tie part OF
certain Republican candidates who
would necessarily suffer by such NAL
administration of party trust and con-
fidence.

There is being made an hereuiean
effort to patch UP the labor record OF
J. J. Gill. The glassworkers who were

alleged loyalty to union principles have
had their first impressions completely
reversed. There are men who walk the
streets of Martins Ferry daily VINO
were victims of the strike at the Acme
glass works, owned by Gill, and their
story has been told to the younger set
of glassworkers with amazing effect.
They recollect how unyielding Mr.. Gill
was then and they can't be made to be-
lieve now that If sent to Congress he
would sit up nights planning salutary
laws for the workingmen. They also
know he has threatened to displace mis-
employees with machinery, and letters
written by Gill himself are held as the
proof of the assertion.

ion was based upon the part Mr.. Bur-

certainly remarkable for candidate
and the voters have not forgotten. It.
While 81 delegates representing the

cry effort to secure the nomination OF

position at st. Clairsville in which his

rarely witnessed even in community
much more one sided in its, political
tenets than Belmont county, and there
are hundreds Of Republicans awaiting
until election day to repay Mr.. Bur
genital for his folly.
