ENGLISH LOSSES iEAvlY.

s vfotory II Glencoe On Friday sVas =.
Costly Ons.
LONDON, Oct. "a The war Office an
nominees IN the fighting Friday between
Glencoe and Dundee, in Natal, 81 nom
commissioned. officers and men were
killed and Isl wounded.
a later dispatch from Sir George
Stewart White says that Sir illiam
Penn Symons is brighter, but that the
doctor can give no further opinion.
The list of officers killed and wound
ed strikingly shows that. although the
British victory was complete, it was
bought at a heavy price. In addition
to Sir William Penn Symons, who is
MORALLY wounded, two colonies, three
captains and five ieutenants were
killed, and colonel, three majors, six
captains and ten lieutenants were
wounded
This heavy loss among the officers
was due, as the latest dispatches from
the front show, to their valiant but in
sensate conduct in sticking to the tra-
ditions of the British army and refus-
ing to use the cover of which the men
ayailed themselves in the storming Of
the Boer position on the summit of the
Kopje.
Among the rank and file the Hussars
had wounded; the artillery killed
and wounded; the Leicestershire regi-.
ment ] wounded; the Kings Rifles II
killed and 68 wounded; the Irish Fusi-
leers IA killed and 80 wounded; the
Dublin Fusileers killed and Al
wounded, and the Natal police 2
wounded.

RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION.

That Said to Be the Next Move on the
Board of Finance.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-As a Corollary of
the Pullm Wagner consolidation
deal, the readjustment of railroad stock
holdings on an enormous scale is said,
on high authority, to be the next move
on the boards. A fnancier with very
close relations to the Morgan financial
syndicate in New York, now in Chicago,
is authority for the statement that the
next few months will witness a sweep
ing consolidation of railroad interests.
The plans of Morgan and his allies, &C.
cording to the authority quoted, are no
less than the welding together of the
railroad interests controlled by the
Harriman-Gould and Vanderbilt in
terests.

bering 764 men and 46 officers under

only incident of the voyage was an ac-
cident that happened to Edwin Statler,
Company NJ, and Homer A. Reed, Com
pany A, three days out from Nagasaki.
They were injured by the breaking Of
the after sail, which fell on them. Stat
ler's leg was broken and Read sus-
tanned fracture of the skull Both
men are doing we'll. The Senator was
caughtsin the tail of the typhoon en-
countered by the steamer Empress of
Japan. She was tossed lively for sew
eral hours but suffered no severe dam
age. So serious did the situation seem
to the officers of the steamer at one
time that all the passengers were or
dered below and the matches were bat
tened down. +. .~
Adjutant General Byers of Iowa, rep
resenting Governor Shaw, and 800 citi-
zens of Iowa met the Senator at the
Golden Gate in a number of tugs They
received a royal reception from the
volunteers. -- ~
Privates Russell and Morgan of Com
pany D were left at Manila on account
of illness. They are expected to follow
on the next transport.
When the transport came to her an
Choir in the upper harbor the Iowa regi-
ment was greeted by the men of the
battleship Iowa with three rousing
cheers, which were as heartily re-
turned. -..>.
The tug Governor Irwin lay alongside
the transport when off Meiggs wharf
and escorted her up the bay, the band
playing national and popular airs. The
Iowa band came out on deck and re-
sponded to the serenade.

4 WASHINGTON, Oct. Alt is learned
that owing to the temporary character
of the settlement Of the Alaska bound
airy question, there will be no meeting
of the Canadian joint high commission
in the immediate future. The COM

of the statement by the Canadian con-
tingent that they could not undertake
to adjust any Of the other important
questions before the commission until
the Alaskan boundary issue was salts
factorily settled. With the boundary
Issue still open, it is regarded as useless
to attempt further meetings.
