London, November S.-The real question
now for the British public is-can General
White hold out another two weeks until
the army corps arrive? Less anxiety would
be felt on his account were 1t not that
every day seems to bring fresh list of
casualties proving that much has been con-
cealed as to the real state of affairs.

Little light is thrown on the actual sit
uation by the news at hand today. The
magnitude of Mondays fight, however, Is
more than ever evident. Virtually three
actions were raging simultaneously, but 1t
is obvious that the intention to force back
the Orange Free State troops was not
achieved.
Lord Frederick Roberts, of Candahar,
commander of the forces In Ireland, re-
viewing the troops at Kilkenny, said;
"It is useless to disguise the fact that we
are engaged in very serious War-a war

phase of the situation he hoped, was ap-

week the first instalments of Sir Redvers
Buffers force would arrive at Capetown, to
be followed at steady rate by the re-

II don't Think" continued the secretary or
state for war, "that there need be any
anxiety for the result There has been
nothing In history to compare with the
patriotism of our colonies, who will take no
denial. Their attitude will impress on the
civilized world, two great truths-frst, that
Great Britain is not an empty phrase, and
second, that such a learge measure of vol
untary support would not have been ac-
corded unless we were fighting in just
cause"

plying to the toast, 1.-THE Imperial Forces"
praiser the transport arrangements. Re-
ferring to the surrender of the Irish Fusi-
leers and other regiments he said it was
honorable surrender. He expressed the
opinion that the government was not send
ing men enough to South Africa in view
of the probability that the Cape Dutch
would join the Beers. Discussing the gen.
eral question of military armament he OBJ
served that there were only two really
patriotic nations In the world-the British
and the American, because they alone had
volunteer armies.

DEFENDS GOVERNMENT
Marquis of Lansdowne Chief Speaker
at Sheffield Feast.

London, November 2.-The Marquis Of
Lansdowne, Secretary of war, was the chief
speaker at the Cutler feast in Sheffild to-
night, the function being attended by the
usual distinguished assemblage. Replying
to the toast ITO Her Majesty's Ministers"
he went over the usual ground in explain-
ing the causes of the war and defended the
government against the charge that the
military preparations were not abreast OF
the negotiations. He said:
'"The diplomatic messages went by wire,
the reinforcements by ship. Moreover, in
order to keep abreast, the army and navy
would have had to commit most provoca-
tive and threatening acts. The Boer ulti-
natum followed British mobilization, and IL
Great Britain had mobilized earier the ul-
timatum would have been earlier.

VAULTS OF SOLID GOLD.
The New York Clearing House Filled with
the yellow Metal.
HOW THIS BUILDING IS NOW PROTECTED
Guarded More securely Than the
hank Of Ensls nd--A Gibraltar
In the Untted States.

Al enterprising, but In this case not
very reliable, newspaper correspondent
threw large number Of people into an
extraordinary state Of excitement the other
day by sending thrilling account to his
home paper OF the sad state the New York
clearing house found Itself in, in not being
able to find room In its vaults for the
tremendous amount Of gold that was pour
ing into them in the course Of business.
According TO this story, the influx Of
gold from Europe and the Increase of the
output OF our own gold mines made it be-
come serious mechanical question for
the clearing house TO care for this vast
sum of money which is doing so much to
stimulate industrial and Investment ac-
tivity.
The managers OF the clearing house
speaking OF this matter TO the correspond
ent said that they were convinced that Il
will be necessary in . little while TO en-
large the great vault in the clearing house
building.
II Is only three years since The new
clearing house building was finished The
managers OF the association gave when

the building was being planned no little
thought to the vault and the most liberal
estimate Of the greatest demand that
would be likely to be made for storage
facilities In that vault was for 100000. 600
In gold In order to make good margin
oyer that liberal estimate. however, the
decision was reached that tho vaults should
be built so as TO be able TO contain as much
as sos 900, 900.
Within little over year after that
vault was opened to receive Its precious
burden the capacity had been reached and
y became necessary to make use of the
alsles or passageways In order to store the
gold that was offered. But even this teiu-
purary means OF relief Will In little
while no longer avail the Clearing House
association.
KS soon as fifteen millions more OF gold
arc received by the managers II viii be
impossible to store any more In that vault
II viii become practically a solid parallelo-
gram OF gold There arc now one hundred
and fifty-five millions there and II seems
TO be certain that during tho spring the
amount placed there for storage, where 1t

than one hundred and seventy millions
This state Of affairshs portrayed by
