Saturday, a recovery at Liverpool after

from Liverpool reflected renewed easier

MANY BRITISH WOUNDED.
Buffers Forces. Suffer Severely in Sat-
urday's Engagement.


urday's Engagement.
Special cable dispatches from South
Africa say that, in the vicinity of Spear
mans Camp, heavy fighting was in prog
ress all day Saturday and Sunday. In
Saturdays fight total of 3O2 we've
wounded, two were killed, and two are
reported missing. The casualties of Sun
DAYS fighting are not known. One OF
those killed was Capt. Hensley, OF the
Dublin regiment, who was shot in the
forehead. The correspondent visited the
field hospital on the battlefield on Cow
entry's farm. The buildings were full
of wounded, about 200 men. Gen. Butler
wires London that eleven officers, lnclud-
ing two staff officers, and 219 men were
wounded in an action near Venter S
Spruit Saturday.
The operations Saturday commenced at
dawn. Gen. Warren attacked the Beers
who occupied a strong position ON his
right. The British artillery delivered
heavy shell fire, but the Beers did not re-
DIV until 2 o'clock Then the British
concentrated the fire of their big guns
on the enemy's artillery, while the lnfan-
try advanced under cover Of it and dellv-
ering a heavy rifle fire.
The Beers courageously and tenaciously
held their position, 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 bonn
bardment with lyddite shells. This forced
a second retreat, the enemy being closely
pressed by Gen. Warren's men. Gen.
Clery's and Gen. Warren's commands
then bivouacked on the ground gained, af
ter heavily bombarding, for some time,
the enemy's main position.
simultaneously Gen. Lyttelton, with
the view to relieving the pressure on Gen.
Warren, attacked the enemys front west
of Potgieter's 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 in
fantry's further advance forced the Beers
to open fire with their Nordenfeldt seven
FOUNDER, which was silenced by lyddite
shells in a quarter of an hour.
The British carefully worked along the
hills until within 1000 yards of COM
handing kopje on which the Beers were
concentrated, concealed behind immense
powders, strewn thickly- over the HILL
The artillery opened the attack and the
batteries worked continuously, pouring
tons of shrapnel among the Beers, who
devoted their attention to musketry mr.
ing on the British infantry. The Beers
stuck to their rocky Businesses with the
greatest tenacity and at the conclusion of
the day the British had only advanced
across a few ridges. The Beers appar-
emily have few guns and they did little
damage.
On Modder River the British success
fully blew up and RACED two buildings,
including the house formerly occupied by
Commandment Muller, outside their lines.
Boer snipers had used these houses at
night, firing from them at the most dis
tant British pickets up the river.

RUSKlN AND BLACkMORE.
Two Famous Men Whose Deaths Oc-
Cured Recently.

Cured Recently.
Two famous men of English letters
John Ruskin and Richard D. Blackmore
have passed away. Both died in the
fullness of time and with their work ac-
complished, but their departure, never
heless, has saddened thousands of hearts
wherever the best in English literature is
knoAvn and appreciated. The death OF
Ruskin is no surprise to artistic and lit
erary London 1t has been known for
the last two or three years that his mind
and body were gradually weakening. 1t
is long since he ceased to be living
force in English art, but it is impossible
to overestimate the influence he has
welded in the past.
There have been few as striking figures
in the literature of the Victorian era as
that of John Ruskin. With Carlyle, Ten
nyson and Browning, he stood in the first
rank Of the creative and inspiring forces
of letters. In q certain sense these four
great writer's supplemented one another's
genius. In the realm of art criticism
Ruskin was the most brilliant writer of
the century, carrying over into moral
earnestness and purity that once more
TRANSPORTED art and made it ministrant
to the highest in man. Ruskin's moral
earnestness and Sincerity and his dissat-
isfaction with modern society found full
est expression in his famous ''Fors CLAW
igera" papers.
AS to Blackmore, his story of Lorna
Doone'' has been called by some good
critics the greatest novel of the century.
That is too high praise. It certainly is,
however, one of the greatest in its vivid
descriptions of part of English life
and scenery which no one knew better
than he 1t remains the high-water mark
of his genius and is sufficient to maintain
his fame.

Wooden, Goods - Sharp Advance in
Wheat-Failures of the Week-Admir-
atty Island Canniba1s Eat Ships Crew.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade SAYS: New business for manufac-
turers this year has been light in some
branches and much below the production
last month 1t is perhaps too often for
gotten that industries start this year WIN
larger contracts ahead than ever before,
and when half the work of the Whole
year has been ordered in advance there
cannot continue quite the same activity
in new buying. The wooden manufacture
err has just opened new season with
the largest transactions ever known IN
a single week, it is said, but in most 9th.
er lines contracts previously booked
would make similar activity impossible.
Yet there is seen enough of hesitation
caused by advanced prices to make mac
tivity trying. Iron and steel prices have
been yielding for several weeks, and are
a shade lower for products than at any
other time since the middle of September.
Wheat has advanced to 1878 cents, with
no clear reason for such sharp advance.
Western receipts are small, in four weeks
only 1O,9S4,92S bushels, against 1920
297 last year, but the Atlantic exports
have been only 7,737, 474 bushels, flour in
Guided, against 1909, 1888 last year. Pa
cific exports amount to 3,311 ,236 bushels

BULLETS LAY ROBBERS LOW.
Two Men Killed and One Wounded by
Quincy, ILL.,, Police.

Quincy, ILL.,, Police.
Two men dead and one seriously
wounded are the results of an attempt
by the Quincy, ILL.,, police to capture the
members of a gang of suspected safe
blowers and burglars. Although many
shots were fired the officers escaped I'M
injured, the three alleged crooks being the
only victims of the bullets. The leader
of the gang was Charles Prince, alias
''Chuck" Price, alias G. E. Lummis, alias
G. Rogers. The other two went by the
names of II. j. Crowley and Joseph
West. They had rooms at the Moecker
Hotel. Aid. Moecker, who runs the ho-
tel, recognized the trio as the same who
were registered at his place jan. Z, the
day that Judge Henckenkamp safe was
blown open and robbed of $4,000 in
money and notes. He suspected them
of being crooks and notified the police.
West showed fight when an officer at
tempted to arrest him and was shot dead.
The other two returned after their tools
in the night, and while also resisting ar
rest, Prince was killed and Crowley
wounded and captured The coroner's
jury exonerated the officers and compli-
mented them on their nerve.

Horrible Fate of Trading Schooner's
Crew in Admiralty Island.
Details have been received of the kill
ing of the captain and crew of the schoon-
err Nikamarra on one of the islands of
the Admiralty group by the natives, who
are cannibals. It is said that all of the
victims were eaten. The Nikamarra left
New Britain early in October on her trad
ing cruise to the Admiraltys. On arrival
there she was boarded by a number of
the natives, with whom Capt. Dalthe
was unsuspectingly doing business when
he was set upon by his treacherous Gus
toners and killed, his fate being shared
by the mate and six New Ireland natives,
all of whom were cut and hacked with
knives and tomahawks. The natives then
plundered the vessel.
