REPORT FROM ROBERTS
Daily Skirmishes With the Boers-Suc-
 cessful Expeditions

London, October 4-Lord Roberts has wired as follows to the War Office:
 Hart returned to Krugersdorp October l. He has been thirty-three days from his base, marched BIO miles, was in contact with the enemy twenty mine days killed an unknown number and captured ninety-six The British lost three killed, three prison CTS and twenty-four wounded. Hart brought back 2720 head of cattle and 32s1 shetp.
 Butler has returned to Lydenburg from Spitskop with thousand sheep.
 There are skirmishes with the Boers daily, but they are small affairs.
 '"The Dublin Fusileers made night as- sault with the bayonet on a Boer laager between Pretoria and Johannesburg and captured nine men, mostly important Boers who have troubled the district.
 "A party of Boers have penetrated the southern part of Orange River Colony, and entered Dewetsdorp and Wepener. Detach- ments are after them.'

Harrison Willspeak

Indianapolis, October IA special from New York today to the News says that former President Benjamin Harrison today consented to make speech in behalf of the Republicans during the present campaign. He will speak in Indiana probably the last week in October, the date and place not yet having been decided on For several weeks the Republican leaders have been urging General Harrison either to write a letter or make speech. It is not probable, says the New York special, that General Harri- son will give out a statement as to his plans while in that city. It is thought probable that the speech will be the occasion for great rally at the old battle-ground near Lafayette,

In Diplomatic Circles
 Al tie National apf al

The economical turn of mind of Italy's new King, which Is so well known in Flu rope will indirectly make itself felt in Washington, where his diplomatic repre- sentatives will Joe greatly reduced in num- bers and importance, states the Washing ton Post. Although the Ambassador and Baroness Fava take no part in the social life of the American capital and prefer, even when in this country, to make their home in New York, the younger members of the embassy have always been most popular and added greatly to the success of the gay season.
 The news that Count Vinci, the much sought-after first secretary, has retired to his estate at Milan, awaiting new post, and that the equally attractive Marquis Romano, who went home on leave In June, Is in Rome on waiting orders, will be un- welcome in American drawing rooms, and cause a vacancy at many dinner tables in the coming season. The posts of military and naval attache have also been discon- tinued here as well as at several European capitals leaving Baron Fava but one secre- tary. in the person of M. Navoria, now with the ambassador at Lenox.

Millions for a Newport Baby.

While Birmingham mothers may esti- mate the fortunes of their children at var ious millions or billions, as the case may be, here is a Newport baby who actually possesses ten millions.
 The richest baby in Newport, K. l.' or perhaps anywhere else for that matter IS preparing for the ordeal of being christen- ed. Only the members of the exclusive baby's family have been invited to the church
 John Nicholas Brown, aged nearly four months, worth $1o OOO,0OO now and sched- uled to have $3O, ,000, 900 when he reaches his majority Is the baby to be named with so much ceremony. The christening service will be read by Rev. W. N. McVicker, bishop coadjutor of the Protestant Episco- pal diocese of Rhode Island Rev. Emory H. Porter rector of the church, will as- sist.
 This church received $45,000 from the father and uncle of the baby. The child. through the death of its father, John Nicholas Brown, on May 1 became heir to $6, 900. The child's uncle, Harold Brown, died a few weeks later from the shock of hearing of his brothers death. He left large part of his estate to the little pink and white bundle of humanity.

Run ored Postponement of
 The U. D. C, Convention

The Montgomery Advertiser of yesterday says:
 There is probability that the conven- tion of the United Daughters of the Con- federacy, which is now set to take place in Montgomery on the 18th of November, will be postponed until sometime in De- cember, on account of a request from the Texas State Division, which request is made because of the fact that the storm on the Texas coast played havoc in the ranks of the Daughters in Galveston. Some were lost and many are in grief on account Of losses of those near and dear to them.
 Georgia, through Mrs. Helen Plane, makes the request for Texas It takes three states to present request for post ponement when legitimate reasons are held. Of course, Ala bama being the hostess, takes no part in the action for postponcment, and will await the decision of the other State Divisions"
