THE Beers STII L FIGHTING
DeWet'S Forces Repulsed Houses of
Boer SympathiZers Destroyed y

London, October 29.-The war office
has received the following from Lord
Roberts, dated Pretoria. October 2Sth:
Knox successfully engaged deWet
in the Rensburg drift. The Beers lost
considerably and left two guns and
three wagons in KnoX's hands. An
other ammunition wagon was blown
up by a shell. The British casualties
were nil"
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair,
Lord Roberts says it was due to the
treachery of the inhabitants, who ad-
mitted the Beers to their houses at
night. They opened fire at daybreak.
Fourteen men were killed and thirteen
were wounded, mostly Cape Highland
ers. Troops dispatched from the Mod
der river drove off the Beers. The
houses of the treacherous inhabitants
were destroyed. Commandment Bosnian
was killed.
Lord Roberts calls attention to the
increasing inclination of the better
class of Beers to cooperate with the
British to secure peace" since they find
that guerrilla warfare is visited with
heavy punishment"

BRYAN's BIGGEST DAYS WORK
He Makes Thirty Speeches In and
Around New York City-One Meeting
for Hebrews.

He Makes Thirty Speeches In and
round New York City-One Meeting
for Hebrews.
New York. October z9.-"And I am
feeling tolerably well. I thank you"
This was Colonel Bryan's reply when
told tonight that he had made thirty
speeches during the day, and thus
broken his own record for speech-mak-
ing. As a rule the speeches were not
so long as ON most occasions, but they
exceeded in number by nine or ten
those of n previous day during b
present campaign and by the highest
number made in the campaign In any
day in 1896.
In New FORK city he made one
speech. at Hamilton Fish park, on the
East Side. and in Brooklyn during the
night he made eight speeches.
The days our was first along the
head waters of the Susquehanna river,
and then back through the Catskills
and down the Hudson on h opposite
side OF the river to Weehawken, thence
across the river and across Manhattan
island into Brooklyn. All the speeches.
except n Were made in the state OF
New York, h exception being of Lit
tie Ferry, which is in the state Of New
Jersey.
Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband
during the day and she received almost
as much applause as he did when she
appeared before the crowds assembled
to hear him. She was also presented
during the day with many handsome
bouquets of roses and ~chrysanthe-

the day.
As a rule greater enthusiasm was
manifested than at smaller places on
Mr.. Bryan's first tour of the state and
the crowds were generally large in
proportion to the population OF the
day meetings Kingston was the longest
as it was one Of the most enthusiastic.
Haverstraw and West Nyack also re-
ceived Mr.. Bryan most cordially.
New York, October .29.-Mr. Bryan's
meeting in Hamilton Fish park, under
the auspices of the Hebrews of the
East Side, was a great success. The
attendance was enormous, and the
people so enthusiastic in their recep-
ton that it was difficult to secure
quiet sufficient to allow Mr.. Bryan to
proceed.
Mr.. Bryan addressed himself espe-
cially to the Hebrews, saying he was
glad to address a race hat had pro-
duced Solomon THE wiseSt man n
Moses the greatest law giver. He dis
cussed briefly the issues of the cam
paign, saying the republicans were
amending all of the Ten Command
ments. AS for himself he wanted to
see the land filled with happy homes
and not with RachelS weeping for
their children. He a he said, glad
to see so many loyal to democratic
principles, for, he said, democracy
teaches us the equality of all men and
in~culcates civil and religious liberty.
This country a drawn to itself the
best blood of the old world and Mr..
Bryan said he did not want those who
had come to feel that they had made
a mistake.
