A LONG DAY
OF HARD BATTLE
British and Beers Strive Furi-
ousIy for Position.
BATTLE WAS NOT DECISIVE.

London, Nov %. A supreme
trial of strength between the Brit
ish and the Beers occurred yester-
day in battle which continued
throughout the day. General
Mathuen's column was marching
to the relief of Kimberley, when
he suddenly came upon 5000
Beers strongly entrenched at the
Modder river,
A dispatch received at the war
office this morning dated Durham,
Nov. Is, says: General Matbuen
reports that he reconnoitered about
five O'Clock yesterday morning and
found the enemy strongly entrench.
ed and concealed across the Mod
der river. Mathuen had no means
of outflanking the enemy's posi-
ton, as the river was full.
The action COM menced with the
artillery and mounted infantry,
with the Guards on the right and
the Ninth brigade on the left,
Mathuen said: II attacked the
enemy supported by the artillery,
when | found myself facing entire
Boer force comprising 5000 men
The naval brigade rendered great
assistance from the railway. They
disappeared after hard fight last
ing ten hours, though we were un-
able to take their position Gen
eral Pole-Carew, however, was sue
cessful in getting small party
across the river, gallantly assisted
by 300 sappers. All behaved
splendidly. 1t was one of the
hardest battles in recent history
of British arms"
From the fact that with the ex-
ception of the small body which
crossed the river, the British ar
my's advance was stopped, the bat
tie seems to have been indecisive.

Three Immense Buildings Sue
cumb 10 rhe Flames.
THE LOSS is SIX MILLIONS

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-One of
the most disastrous fires in the his

this morning in the large depart
mnnt store of Partridge d Richard.
son. This establishment occupied
from number 10 to 30 on East
Eighth street, and at ten O'Clock
the loss to this store alone was es-
timated at 100000.
When the fire broke out FIVE
alarms were Immediately turned in.
The water poured onto the flames
had little effect, and the firemen
turned their attention to surround
ing property.
A slight breeze added fury to
the flames, carrying them to the
big store of Strawbridge q Cloth
ier, on the opposite corner. In a
short time this house was mass
of ruins. On the other corner was
the large building of the Lippin-
colt Publishing company, which
also succumbed to the flames.
The blaze then reached the
three-story building adjoining
Lippincott's. Three fremen were
standing high up on the fire es
ca pc, when the flames burst out of
a window directly beneath them.
They were overcome and fell to
the pavement below, all fatally
hurt
About 2500 employees of the
burned stores are thrown out of
employment.
Lippincotts suffered the loss of
an edition of the American Ency-
clopedia which they were prepar-
ing to publish.
The total loss of the burned dis
trict is estimated at S6,OOO,0OO.

world, which We have assumed by ex-
pelling the Spaniards from the. Philip
pines should get just Us much prontt
and more praise ourselves; and should
implant in the breasts of the natives
gratitude and hope whore now we are
rousing hatred and revenge. Il We
could only realize that ii is possible 10
benefit lower races without first crush
ing them under the heel of o conqueror,.
If we could only understand, with Prof.
Wallace, that even the most benevolent
conauests SOW seeds of misery among
the conquered and terribly retard thor
natural development. Our mistakes
in the Philippines have, SO far, been
ecregious. Even Jingoes privately
admit it: history will write it inexor-
ably. But we may still do much to
redeem the situation il we will now
frankly face it, choose the words and
the acts which best suit the wishes oil
the natives, instead Of our vulgar pride,
and by wise Cancellation, l,y patience,
by experiment after experiment, prove
to the Filipinos that liberty does moi
mean repression and death, but the
opening Of the prison door and oppor'
| tunity fer manhood.
