reverses in the battle Monday in
South Africa, losing two regiments,
which surrendered after their
ranks were decimated. The Beers
simply drew them into a trap and
shut the door. 1t would not be
surprising if Ladysmith, the gar
risoned town before which the bat
tie was fought, is forced to cap

Make each snow-capped peak resound.

Mid the triumph and wild delight.

Have at long last hove In sight
VIII all our boys come back again?
WIN they? All. no. no; not all.
There will be faces that missing.
Manly voices that are siiiled-
Ears that cannot hear the welcome
rendered TO their comrades dear.
AS they sleep in far Manila.
Many thousand miles from here.
Do they know they're not forgotten,
Our brave heroes, though they're gone
In our memory they shall linger
Bright and fair as time rolls on.
Oh, welcome welcome soldiers,
A thousand welcomes home;
For ;ruer hearts than youra ne'er beat
Beneath heavens cloudless dome.
D God in heaven, protect them.
Our dear Washington volunteers,
And shower down choicest blessing
Upon their future years.

A WELCOME HOME.

:I'HEY come. our galiant heroes,
From Manila's sropic cline:
From the din and roar Of battle
Ger the oceans foamy brine.
They have left the scenes OF warfare
Many thousand miles away,
And are coming back in triumph
To their Western homes, to stay
TIL again their country calls them
From the peaceful walks Of nfe
To protect our starry banner
Then they'll fight with ali their might.
For cur boys are ever ready
And are loyal to the call.
To gather round our standard
Though they know that some must fall.
Speed on majestic vessels
For Seattle restless waits,
To tender to the volunteers
A welcome from our state.
A royal welcome waits our boys,
From each and every one,
For all have learned 10 love them
In the time that they've been gone.
Be STILL dear hearts. have patience.

England's Great Fight.

"The Empire is in peril :" That
is the meaning of the announcements
made yesterday by the British war
office England at last realizes that
she has the hardest struggle of the
century before her that her domin-
ion, her world prestige, her future as
a great power are at stake, and that
the occasion calls for the supremest
effort, the most unmeasured expendi-
ture of men and money.
So her greatest soldier Gen Lord
Roberts, the victor of Kandabar, is
given supreme command in South
Africa, and her abest fighter of more
recent years, Gen Lord Kitchener,
the victor of Khartoum, is made the
chief of staff /; all the remainder of
the reserve is called out and ordered
to Africa (; eleven battalious of mill
tia are virtually asked to volunteer
a ''strong force Of volunteers to be
selected from the yeomanry regi-
mente'' will be formed for South
African service aud notice is given
that the aid of the colonial forces
will be appreciated and accepted
The forces already in South Africa
pumber about 100, 600; the reserves
recently and now ordered over will
aggregate probably $4,000 more
and the volunteers and colonial con;
tiugen.s may augment the grand
total to 100000 men All these are
none TOO many for the task in hand
The Empire is in peril :" Its fate
will be decided ia South Africa, and
in the next few months.
1t will take over month to place
in South Africa Gen Lord Roberts
and his reinforcing army. All this
time the revolt in Cape Colony will
be spreading and Strengthening un.
less the advances on Kimberley and
Ladysmith shall be abandoned and
the British forces reconcentrated in
the colony. Gen Gatacre may be
attacked at any time and Gen Methu
en's rear assailed and his communi
cations broken British victories on
the Modder and TugeIa rivers aud
the relief of the beleaguered cities
would have some moral effect in
neutralizipg Cape Colony, go the
aggressive will probably be resumed
on both lines as soon as possible and
the chances taken as to the colonial
revolt. But delay favors the Beers
They can accomplish great deal

Money Panic in New York.
ALL CLASSES OF STOCK
SLAUGHTERED BY DE-
MENTED HOLDERS.

New York, Dec 18-Panic condi-
tioos developed 90 the stock exchange
this afternoon With the imperative Deed
of money developed by the violent
contraction in values. Stocks were
being thrown over without the slightest
regard to the price they would bring
and at distressing sacrifice of values.
No end to the helpiesspess Of the situa-
ton seemed in sight, wheo, 10 the last
bali hour OF the market some Sl0,-
100000 was offered on the stock
exchange by the concerted action Of
the clearing house banks to force the
rate arbitrarily down to per cent
without regard to the distracted bid
ding at higher rates which was beng
done by other brokers for distressed
operators. The collapse in the money
rate checked the decline and drove the
bears to cover The recoveries pro.
duced by their urgent bidding were
almost as violent as the decline had
been. but tae losses we're BY 90 means
entirely retrieved. Large offerings Of
stocks continued at the rally and at
some points of the l;ss prices broke
anew before the close. making the
closing exceeding irregular and unset
tied. The excitement continued to the
eud. with sentiment looking forward
auzioasly for the developments OF
another day.
