DURBAN. Natal. Nov. s.-A large force

front
The government has received letters from
Colonel SchieI the German officer captured
at Elandsgaate, in behalf of the Hollander
prisoners, expressing gratitude for their
kind and humane treatment. The Beers

alike. The colonel further expresses his ap-

ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. IAN armored
train, manned by an engineer staff and a
company of the Dublin Fusiliers. under
Captain Hensley, returned here tonight. 1t
reported that it found the stores of the
Frere looted, apparently by Kaffirs, and
met cyclist patrols who reported that the
Beers were on the Springfield road, five
miles away. The train proceeded cautiously
and found the Bluespruit road intact. The
train frequently stopped and Captain Hens
ley examined the road ahead before proceed
ing. Nearing Colenso Captain Hensley in
spected Fort Nicholson, and. proceeding,
found the line cut mile south of Colenso.
Two lengths of the rail on each line had
been lifted and placed out of gauge.
From information obtained from Kaffirs
it appears that the Beers left the vicinity
of Colenso early this morning, proceeding
in the direction of Buluwayan mountain,
and that Captain Hensley found Colenso
deserted. a balloon was observed for sew
eral minutes lowering over the Boer posi-
tions in the mountains. Ii was. presumably,
a British balloon from Ladysmith. The ma
tives here are undertaking the safe delivery
OF dispatches inside Ladysmith.
ESTCOURT, Nov. 8 (Morning 1.-The town
is quiet, but the camp is being kept the
alert and active up to o'clock every morn
ing in readiness for any emergency, with
kits laid out for inspection or for removal
at moments notice. 1t is evident that
General Murray does not intend to be sur
prised. The border regiment, the Dublin
Fusiliers. the Natal Royal Rifles, the Dur
ban Light Infantry and the artillery and the
lancers are all engaged in field exercises.
Owing to negligence of some one or to a
blunder two cases of dynamite coil fuse
were left in the precinct Of the railway ho-
tel. where General Murray and his staff
and the newspaper correspondents are stay
ing. The marks on the cases show that
they belong to the public-works depart
ment. No evil intention is imputed to any
one. The civilians are organizing a volun-
teer ambulance corps.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-Sunshine so brilliant

Maiesty's return to Windsor this morning
when she inspected three detachments of
the Household Cavalry bound for South
Africa. The Royal Horse Guards and the

scenes of great enthusiasm the troops
formed in two lines, unmounted, in khaki

VIII Endeavor to Open COmmunica-
tion with observation-disclosures Says
Farewell to Her Cavalry.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE day has brought
forth no great news, and little change has
taken place either in Natal or on the north
and northwestern frontiers of Cape Colony.
The chief fact is the opening of the bonn
bardment OF Kimberley on Tuesday by Free
State artillery, which proved. according TO
an official statement, utterly ineffective.
The Boer investment of the town, however,
Is said to be tightening. Skirmishing be-
tween the Kimberley mounted troops and
the Beers early in the week resulted in Sc
we're Boer losses the British force losing
one killed and one wounded.
Advices from Orange river confirm the re-
port OF the Free State troops advance upon
the north of Cape Colony, but owing to the
retirement OF the British forces from the
borderland, no serious collision has yet oc-
Cured. The coming week, however, Is GER
tain to see important developments in this
district.
An official dispatch recording skirmish
near Belmont, in which Colonel Falconer
was killed, three other officers were wound
ed - one dangerously = and two privates
slightly wounded is far from clear. 1t is
considered remarkable that four out of the
six casualties should have happened to off,
GERS The British lost a good man in Col.
Falconer, who was a cousin of the Earl Of
Kintore. He did good service in the Sudan
under General Kitchener, from the Dongola
expedition to the capture of Berber.
Dispatches from Mafeking show that Col.
Baden-PoweIl's little force is still not mere
~ holding its own, but is daily inficting
more or less severe punishment upon the
Beers. whose artillery has apparently
proved valueless.
Nothing has filtered through to-day from
Ladysmith. which everybody expects to be
the theater of thrilling events during the
coming week. Transports carrying three
thousand British troops are already en-
route to Durham. having passed Cape Town,
and the Beers must strike decisive blow
at Ladysmith now or never.
A cablegram from Cape Town dated Nov.
says: Dispatches from Kimberley show
that the town vigorously attacked at
two different points. 1t is reported that
one of the British force and six Beers were
killed 1t is believed here that the Beers
surround the town in force

WAR AUTHORITIES CRITICISED.
Britons Wondering What Would Hap
nen IL a PoxYer Attacked Them.

pen If Power Attacked Them.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE advance to the
relief of General White can hardly start
for fortnight, and in the meantime, what
ever happens with Ladysmith, little news is
likely to reach London. The lull gives the
opportunity for discussion Of Great
Britain's political and military position. 1t
is beginning to be asked whether, looking
at the present experience. the British army
is equal to the national needs.
Lieut.. Col Sir Wolfe Barry. of the engi-
neer and railroad volunteer staff corps,
says: In military matters Great Britain is
trading with insufficient capital. She ought
TO add 10000 men to her army"
George Bernard Shaw the author, in an
ironic mood, asks how Tommy Atkins
can be expected to shoot as we'll as the
Beers, when the nation begrudges the
money to enable him to practice"
The public Is beginning with some anxiety
to wonder what should happen should any
great power take the opportunity to attack
Great Britain. The franknesS of the Duke
of Cambridge, Lord Salisbury and General
Wolseley regarding the unprepardeness to
meet the Beers promises some lively times
for the government when Parliament reas-
sembles. Altogether nothing could be more
welcome under the present circumstances to
the British public than the evidences that
the United States and Great Britain and
Germany are working amicably together in
the interests of peace.
The losses suffered by General Whites
force have only helped 10 swell the con-
tinuous procession of regular. volunteer and
ex-army officers who have importuned the

FRANKFORT, KY. Nov. lit is ru-
mored that Congressman David Smith, Of
the campaign committee, has given up the
claim that Goebel has been elected, but
this cannot be verified, as he has gone
home. besides it is pronounced false by
Goebei leaders here. Goebers election is
strongly claimed, but no figures are given.
Republican leaders figure Taylor's elec-
ton by 5000 or more tonight, basing their
estimates on unexpected gains shown by
returns coming in late to-day. Contests
are inevitable, and they will be ably ar
gued before the State Election Board by
legal counsel on both sides as to the law
bearing on each particular case.

OUTCOME OF THE ELECTIONS.
Tries to EeIittle Republican Victories
and Find Comfort for Himself
and Democracy.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. n-Reports
have been received by the Commercial
Rep) up to midnight from Ill Of the ll9
counties giving the official count. These
gave Goebel pluralities Of 1859 and Taylor
pluralties of 13 435; Goebels net plurality
1874. The eight unreported counties are
Rowan, Jefferson, Knox and Harrison. in
which the canvasSing boards have ad-
journed until Monday; and Johnson. Meme
fee, Cumberland and Letcher, which have
not yet sent in their official count. These
eight counties, according to the unofficial
figures heretofore received by the CONNER
cial, give Taylor pluralities of 6,656 and Goe-
bel pluralities of 1882; Taylor's net plurality
5,624. Deducting from this Goebels plural
ity Of 1874 in Ill counties, leaves Taylor a
plurality in the whole State of 1850. The
Democratic unofficial returns from the eight
unreported counties shows a net Taylor plu-
rality of 1852. Using these figures with
the Commercials official plurality of 1874
from Ill counties, still leaves Taylor a plu-
rality of 1.21s
The Courier-Journal at midnight figures
out a plurality of 155 for Goebel. This is
based on official reports from ninety-eight
counties and unofficial from the remaining
twenty-one. The County Commissioners of
Nelson, according to the Courier-Journal,
have thrown out 1,19s votes cast for w. p.
Taylor, instead of w. S. Taylor.
The Associated Press agent says: 'The
second day Of the official count has dis
closed no startling changes from the unoffi-
cial figures Both sides still claim the State,
though the Democratic estimate was some
what reduced to-day. Reports from over
80 of the 1l9 counties give Goebel a plurality
of little over 1000 votes on the official
count. The Democratic unofficial reports
from the remaining counties show enough
Taylor pluralities to wipe this out and
leave a margin for the Republican candi-
date. Much depends, however, on contests
being made in several counties on the
ground of alleged irregularities. The deter
mination of these points may cause a
change from present estimates Of the re-
suit. The official count has shown that
the two candidates for Governor ran far
ahead of their ticket all over the State.
Goebel is leading by an average Of over
twenty-five votes to the county. In Gray
son county, where the Democratic bolt was
strong, he leads the ticket by fifty votes.
Taylor appears to be leading his ticket by
an even greater average than Goebel. In
Grayson county Taylor leads over Marshall,
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, by
134 votes. In Taylor county Goebel leads
his ticket by fifty-five and Taylor by thirty
five. In this city good progress was made
with the count to-day with very slight
changes. 1t will require several days to
finish it, however, as bitter disputes have
arisen in several wards"

Force OF 1000 Reported to Have
Crossed the ErOntier Mt Rethulie.

Crossed the Frontier at Bethulie.
CAPE TOWN, Nov. Tt is reported that
a Boer force from Smithfield has crossed
the frontier at Bethulie. 1t Is estimated to
be 1900 strong, with field guns. The latest
advices are that the Beers had not entered
Aliwan North yesterday evening, but the
Besstekral force Of Beers was momentarily
expected. 1t is said the Beers have already
captured some police and others on the out
skirts of the place and that Aliwan North is
deserted and defenseless.
Another Boer force is reported to have
marched past Burghersdorp toward Queens
town. The Transvaal contingent, which
was expected to join the Free Staters be-
tween Springfontein and Bethulie, is re-
ported to be delayed by want of horses.
The Basutos continue faithful to the Brit
ish and have refused to reap the Free State
crops, which are rotting.
CAPE TOWN, Nov. S.-The movements
Of the Beers north of Cape Colony appear
to be half-hearted. Aliwal North is entirely
at their mercy. 1t is probable that they will
shortly occupy Bethulie, one of the points
Of railway entrance into the Free State.
They have occupied Burghersdorp, where
the lines diverge, but Bethulie and Aliwal
North are still unoccupied. Most Of the
refugees from Aliwal North have gone to
jamestown, east Of the railway, near the
mountains. There are indications that the
Beers are making determined bid for the
active support Of the colonial Dutch, but
they are not likely TO succeed in obtaining
