Monday, saying:
Lord Wolse,ey sums up the position in
Natal, early this morning as follows:
In the battle of Elandslaagte, October
o. two guns were captured from the Beers,
who lost heavily.
"A large column of the enemy appeared
advancing from the north and west on Gen.
Yule who consequently had fallen back
from Dundee and was concentrating at
Glencoe Junction; In this operation we
gather in the wounded and medical attend
ants left at Dundee.
Gen. White was in position at Lady
smith, and is being reinforced from PETER
maritzburg.
The enemy appears TO be in large nu-
merical superiority.
Alarmed by the summary.
1t is undeniable that the summary
occasioned anxienty, which was in
creased by the fact that no news has
been received from the Glencoe campt
for more than SO hours, while the latest
dispatches from Ladysmith seem to
imply considerable uncertainty 1t is
believed here that Gen. Iule's position,
with probably no more than 5000 men,
is certainly critical, in view of the fact
that Gen. Joubert, with 5000 Beers, Is
within striking distance of him, while
there is still another Boer force at
Waschbank.
Gen. Yuie Retreats.

Manila, Oct 24.-The insurgents
around Calamba and Angeles have both
cred the Americans lately with their re-
peated attacks. like most of the Filipino
attacks, consisting of shooting a lot of
ammunition into their opponents camp
from long range. Maj. Cheatham's bat
talon of the Thirty-seventh infantry,
three companies of the Twenty-first
infantry, battery of the Fifth artil-
lery and gatling gun sailed out Mon
day morning from Calamba, drove the
Filipinos from their trenches and pur-
sued them for three miles, inflicting
heavy loss on them. One American was
killed and three were wounded, all of
the Twenty-first infantry.

FINE RATE GIVEN

FOR PATCHING ENTRYRACE
One Fare for Kansas, Indian
Terry, Oklahoma, Missouri.


Evidences and instances ore Of daily oc
curence that the Gentry-Patchen contest
in September In wichita is going TO be
one of the great events Of the season FOL
Kansas not only. but for the whole south
west. An evidence OF this came yester-
day in letter to Colonel Toler from
Chairman Macleod Of Chicago, announc-
ing the most advantageous rate ever CIV
en- for a public entertainment In Wichita
Eben E. Macleod. chairman Of the
Western Passenger department OF the
Rock Island, was solicited by Mr.. H. G.
Toler to give the Wichita Fair associa-
ton a rate for the days Of the Fair. Sep
TENDER Is TO 90. 1t was mentioned to him
that John r. Gentry and Joe Patchen.
the king of stations of the world, would
race here. Railroad men and particular
~ the passenger men know a drawing
card when they see II. And Mr.. Macleod
knows what race between Gentry and
Patchen means. It has been difficult for
Wichita to receive one and one third rates
hitherto, over restricted territory, but
Chairman Macleod at one granted this
sweeping order:
"One fare for the round trip from all
points In Oklahoma, Indian territory and
and Kansas City and St Joseph. Missouri.
Excursion tickets to be sold September
24-3O inclusive, good to return until and
including October 2 1899"
This means that immense crowds will
come to the racing events in Wichita.
not only from Oklahoma, but from Indian
territory on the south; and that northern
and eastern Kansas will also be granted
the same privileges. The lovers of fine
horse racing at Kansas City and st. Joe
did not want to be excluded from the rate
and they were included. A big delegation
will be down from both Missouri points.
Every horse-lover in Kansas will be here,
while Oklahoma and Indian territory viii
send big crowds.
1t is beginning to look as though the
great race between Joe Patchen and John
r. Gentry would break a record in the
number Of spectators It attracts.
For one admission fee and a cheap rail-
road fare the people will get to see the
two finest horses in the world and see
them matched against each other.
Colonel Toler Is receiving daily inquir-
les about other races and the event bids
fair to be one of the greatest ever given
in the nation.

TOO MANY BABIES

Cause q Case TO DO Contained In the
City Court.
The case OF the State against Mrs. A.
L. Laird for assaulting, beating and
wounding Mrs. E. s. Mackey, came up In
the city court yesterday at p. IN, but
was dismissed under very peculiar cir
cumstances, which perhaps, Judge Kirk
and Attorney John Adams would not IKE
to have mentioned. The case IS said -
have grown out of 8 neighborhood quar-
rel caused by one woman whipping the
child OF another woman. Such cases be-
Ing very common on North Moseley, 1t IS
said. Mrs. Laird is very indignant about
the arrest and declared yesterday that
she would sell everything she has. even
her horses. and carry the case to the
supreme court before she will pay fine.
Consequently, a very lively lawsuit was
promised when the factions met in court
yesterday afternoon. The whole neigh
hood is TO be summoned. Part Of them
were on hand yesterday, and there were
a superabundance of infants in the wit
ness row. Some were tiny babies with
good lungs and a disposition to argue a
few points Of the case themselves. Just
as Judge Kirk was getting ready to open
court every babe in the row began TO
yen with vehemence. Judge Kirk stop
ped and waited for a few moments and
then resumed with slow elaboration. The
smallest baby. about three weeks old.
saw his opportunity and renewed his at
tack. followed by the other babies. This
time John Adams, who was the defen-
dant's attorney. slid out of the window
and deserted the court room. Judge
Kirk. feeling that it would not be just
the proper thing TO fine the babies for
contempt OF court. adjourned and contin-
ued the case until this afternoon at $50
O'Clock. a nursery will be arranged in
the jury room for this afternoon and
Tom Voss and Harden Ebey will be put
in charge Of the babies during the trial
