ly and tenaciously held their posi-
ton. but they were finally forced back
and the British swarmed over the
ridge. The Beers retired in good order
and took up a second position, which
was subjected to a heavy bombardment
with lyddite shells. This forced a Sec
ond retreat, the enemy being closely
pressed by Gen. Warren's men.

some time the enemy's position. The
foregoing was Gems. Warrens and
Clery's work toward the northwest.
simultaneously Gen. Lyttleton, with a
view to relieving the pressure on Gen.
Warren, attacked the enemy's front
west of Potgieters drift. He pushed
forward his infantry, covered by the
howitzers and naval guns, both on the
north bank of the river and Mount
Alice. The infantrys further advance
forced the Beers to open fire with their
Nordenfeldt FOUNDER, which was
sllenced by lyddite shells in a quarter

Gen. Kitchener Issues orders.

Kitchener has issued q general order
tmpressing on officers and men the i'm
portance of securing the cooperation
of the people of the country by good
and co-ciliatory treatment He says
that when supplies are required they
must be paid for and receipt taken.
Officers will be held responsible for
seeing that their soldiers do not enter
private houses or modest the inhabi-
tants. They are also ordered to sup
press footing. If supplies are absolute
ly necessary for the subsistence of the
army and the Inhabitants are unwill-
ing to supply them, commanding Off
GERS, after careful investigation, may
take them forcibly, but in all cases
full receipt must be given therefor.

Krugers Birthday.
Today is the sixty-eighth anniversary
of the birth of President Kruger Of the
Transvaal. The Afrikander bond press
deplores the governments intention to
remove the Boer prisoners to Cape
Point. The reason Of that cry can only
be the inaccessibility Of that place for
friendly sympathizers. Cape Point,
which is seventeen miles from Simons
Town, is very healthy place. The
town is open to the cool southern
breezes, and water is plentiful. 1t Is
favorite resort for excursionists. The
war news appearing in the Onsland, a
bond paper, furnishes fine example
Of the manner in which the Dutch
papers distort facts. Discussing Gen.
Buffers movements in Natal, that
paper asserts that he has only crossed
the Little Tugela river, whereas Skson

THEY LOSE ANOTHER STATE.
Democrats Give Up All Hope of Carrying &
Washington.

|
Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE demo-
Gratis have given up all hope Of carrying
the state Of Washington for Bryan. At
the state headquarters the claim is still
made that they will carry the state. but
it grows less confident in tone daily.
The national committee simultaneously y
discontinued Its efforts for the success of
the Bryan electors and have concen-
trated all of their energies upon the
state ticket.
The paramount issue of expansion
which has all a 'ong been made so much
of by the party in the east has not been
put forward in this state as reason why
voters should support Bryan.
Hon, Charles S. Voorhees, is the only
speaker of note who makes any impcr-
tance of the ''imperialism" issue ana
the committee has discovered that his
campaign is doing the party more harm
than good. and he has been called off the
stump in this state on pretense of his be-
ing greatly needed in Montana.
Another evidence that the state has
been abandoned by the national COM
mittee is the fact that James Hamilton
Lewis is not to be allowed to return to
this state again before the close of the
campaign, but is to be kept in the east
where there is possibility he may aid
IN Influencing voters in some doubtful
state. So far as can be learned the
national committee will not send sin
gle speaker TO this state between now
and the day of election.

LONDON, Oct. l7.-The Durham CORE
spondent OF The Standard says:
"Railway communication north of
Standerton has been suspended since
Thursday. There are persistent rumors
OF Boer attacks on the railway. Con
siderable uneasiness is caused by the
postponement of Lord Roberts de-
parture.''
The mayor Of Liverpool has received
dispatch from Lord Roberts stating
that he will be unable to attend to re-
ceive the freedom the city before next
January.
Commenting upon the activity of the
Boers and the statement from Cape
Town that Lord Roberts has postponed
his homecoming, The Standard says:
"Ihere are certain indications point
ing to the conclusion that unexpected
conditions have arisen which Lord
Roberts deems grave enough to de-
mand his presence for. some time to
come. Ali the facts show that it is i'm
possible yet to denude :outh Africa of
any substantial portion of the large
army now engaged in dominating a
sullen and recalcltrant population "
The editorial tiually calls for the Sc.
verest measures against irreconcilable
Beers, prompt and ruthless punish
ment for every insurgent burgher
caught il delicto."
The editorial concludes with the
statement that "the imperial govern
ment has the country's mandate and
need not be afraid to act vigorously"

patch from Lord Roberts explaining
that only one train was captured on
the night of July 21 between Kroon-
stadt and the Vasl, and that it con-
tanned supplies and two officers and
100 men of the Welsh Fusiliers.
A dispatch from Fouriesburg, dat
ed July 81, shows that the capture Of
Fouriesburg was preceded by heavy
fighting to force passage Of the
passes which we're stubbornly con-
tested for two days. General Hunt
ers' forces had the hardest work in
forcing Relief Mex, his casualties
amounting to about 100.
Upwards of 5000 Beers, with a
very large number of wagons, a large
quantity of stories and many cattle
have been driven into the mountain
passes where they are watched by
British troops. Their escape from
that point will be very difficult.
