s LONDON. Nov. 1.-The Daily Chron-
lcle. referring edltorially to the situation
says: 'In view of the patent failure of
the campaign, and the terrible humili-
alton of the British army. we can only
vaguely hope that Sir George White in
the hard days that lie before him may
be able to hold Ladysm!th. II this war
is to be war OF vengeance, we shall
have to wipe out disaster before which
the memory af Majuba fades away. The
empire is face to face with a repulse
comparable only to the surrender of
BurSoync to the cmbattlcd farmers of
our American colonies. II the catastro-
phe calls forth something better than
music hall patriotism, We may come to
reckon 1t as timely lesson well earned
for the good OF our souls"
The Daily News says: III II 10 found
possible to move the stores, Sir George
White will probably be ordered to with
draw from Colensc If the order Is not
given. It will be because n removal OF
the stores would be too risky"
The Morning Post calls attention to
Sir George Whites use OF the word
''capitulntion." remarking that IL sus-
poets the word was used carelessly. 1t
says: I'VE prefer to assume that the
column fought until 1t was cut to pieces
and all the ammunition gone. Capitula-
lion IL a. word OF shame. Troops In the
field cannot capltulatc without disgrace,
and disaster Is not necessarily dis
honor"
The Times says: "Wc have met with
q considerable reverse. II Is for tho
nation to show that It can bear ill-for-
tune with courage and dignity.

Issuance OF glowing reports OF victories
without equal frankness and prompt
ness In disclosing the circumstances
discountlns these reports.
Sir George Whites honest admission
OF full responsibility and the terms OF
his dispatch are regarded in some cir
cles as virtually placing his case In the
hands OF the home authorities, and 1t Is
even rumored late this evening that the
war office has already decided to super
sede him. The report, however, Is dis
credited in well informed quartera.
About 5000 fresh troops Will arrive at
Cape Town on Sunday next from Eng
land and will be available to reinforce
Sir George White. Transports Will ar
rive there daily after Sunday until by
the end Of next week 2S,O00 troops will
have been landed In South Africa.
These men are Intended for General Sir
Redever Buffers army. but they Will
undoubtedly be detached at Natal IL the
situation there should become perllous.
The British army will eventually reach
the huge total Of 1854. OF which 1854
will be regulars and the other 10000
miscellaneous, but excellent colonial
troops.

THE COLOR LINE IN HAWAII.

Wherever they have sufficient num-
bers it is the colored races that raise
the color line. After the war, in the
Black district of North Carolina
a white Republican was sent to Con-
gress, but almost always 1T
was white Republican who could
buy up or manipulate" the negro
delegates. Only four delegates were
chosen from big negro county like
Halifax and in those days a negro
delegate could often buy farm after
the Congressional convention. After
awhile the negroes made a compact
to send nobody but a negro to Con-
gress. A white Republican had no
chance whatever of securing nomi-
nation. The motto was 'sThis is ne
gro district and a negro must go to
Congress-" If Abraham Lincoln had
been a citizen of that district, he
couldn't have carried his own county
for the Congressional nomination.
In Hawaii the same situation seems
to prevail. I'm the recent election a
native Hawaiian was elected over the
carpet Dagger" and ''prince" candi-
date. He is a negro ''royalist," and
was elected as ''native" over both the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates. Only about 5000 votes were
cast out of a large population. From
an account of the election we quote:
Ellis campaign was an Anti-white
1 canvass, with promises on the part of
some of his campaign workers that II
he were elected Queen Liliuokalani
should be restored to the throne. The
result of the vote shows the native
bitterness over annexation to be still
alive.
''The independents native party car
ried the house of representatives by
n large majority. In the senate there
will be seven Republicans, eight indie
Dendents and one Democrat. With the
independents in control, lively ses-
sion is expected, as they are against
the ruling regime. 1t is likely as a
result. of the election that Congress
will be aked to establish some limita-
tions upon the voting privilege. Many
of the whites want a property quail
fication for voters. 1T is argued that
in voting upon simple COLOR line
MANY of the natives have shown them
selves unfit for universal suffrage.

Ottisman dropped the handles Of the
plow as it was pulled into the hole after
the horses and throwing himself face down
on the ground rolled over and over until
he was some distance away. Then he ran
and halted. looking back. Nothing was 10
bs seen except a depression in the ground
where the horses had gone down.
The young mans father and several
others went to the spot and saw a depres-

the earth tossed and furrowed as II by
great spade and in the middle OF 1t
portion of the piOw sticking up OF
the horses nothing was to be seen. They
had met death and burial at the same time
