ROBERTS REPORTS
 ACTIVE FIGHTING Boers Do Battle With the British
 at Several Points
THE BURGHERS TREK NORTH
Commander-in-Chie Appeals to His Countrymen to Refrain from Ex- cesses in Welcoming Troops.
 Tribute to His Men

London, November 3.-Lord Roberts, in a dispatch from Johannesburg, dated Mo- vember g. reports no less than eight fights at different points, all unimportant, but significant of the activity of the Boers.
 General Kitchener, after nights march, surprised Schoeman's laager at Steen- kempsberg and then pushed on to Schalk burghers laager at Rookiranz, but the British were prevented from following up the Boers, who trekked north.
 Prisoners in the hands Of the British say the Boer losses in the fight with General Barton, October 25, were 14O killed. wound- ed or missing.
 Lord Roberts sends from Pretoria a strik- ing appeal to his countrymen to refrain Afrom turning. the welcome of the home gcoming troops into a drunken orgy.
 He expresses the sincere hope that the welcome will not take the form of treat ing to stimulants and thus lead to ex- cesses that will tend to degrade those whom the nation delights to honor and lower the soldiers of the Queen in the eyes of the world, which has watched with un- disguised admiration the grand work they have performed for their sovereign and country"
 Il tnere1Ore peg earnestly, says Lord Roberts, that the public will refrain from tempting my gallant comrades, but will rather aid to uphold the splendid reputa- tion they have won for the imperial army"
 ''I am very proud to be able to record with the most absolute truth that the con- duct of this army from first to last has been exemplary. Not a single case of seri- ous crime has been brought to my notice; indeed nothing deserving the name of crime. I have trusted to the mems own sol- dierly feeling and good sense and they have born themselves like heroes on the battlefield and like gentlemen on all other occasions.
 The most malicious falsehoods were spread by the authorities of the Transvaal of the brutality of Great Britain's soldiers, but the people were soon reassured that they had nothing to fear from the man in khaki, no matter how battered and war stained his appearance.
 This testimony" concludes Roberts, "I feel sure will be very gratifying to the people of Great Britain and of that greater Britain whose sons shared to the fullest extent the suffering, as well as the glory, of the war, and who helped so materially to bring it to a successful close"
 Lord Roberts explains that he thus ap- peals because of distressing and diseredit- able scenes resulting from injudicious friends speeding the parting soldiers by showing bottles of spirits into their hands and pockets.

A DEFICIT OF $4,094,71S

Washington, November 3-The report of the auditor of the Postoffice Department, covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, shows that the total revenues for the de- partment for that period were $1O2, ,S54,579 and the expenditures $1O7, 9,29S leaving a deficit of $4,S94, 71S.

Not withstanding this favorable showing, the auditor says that if charged its proper share of the expenses of the service, there would be shown a net loss of al least $100,- 900 annually.

DRINKS BARRED
 BY THE CITY BARS Drink, Drink, Drink Everywhere, and Not aDrop to Drink.
 Saloons Closed

All saloons in Birmingham were closed at 12 o'clock last night, and the three days will be dry, the weather man to the con- trary notwithstanding. The bartender's smiling face will not be seen again until Wednesday morning at o'clock when those who have oft repeated Its long time between drinks" will gladly greet him. Before another man takes drink at Birmingham bar the world will know whether Bryan or Mckinley is to be the next President of the United States Dur ing the next two days many man who hasn't a cent will ask his friend to drink with him, when to his outward sorrow and inward delight he will find himself barred from the bar. The tippler's only consola- tion is that he will have just enough news from the election by o'clock "Wednesday morning to drown his sorrow or delight, as the case may be, in long delayed drinks If his candidate wins he can drink to re- joice. If his candidate loses he can drink to hide his sorrow.
 The saloon keepers express great regret that they are forced to close their doors for three days, but they say it's law, and a cheerful compliance is the best they can do. The whiskey dealers say they would do a lage business just at this time on account of the fair, but what can't be cured will have to be endured, and the bar tenders will enjoy the rest.
 During the fair, with the exception of Monday and Tuesday next all saloons in Birmingham will be allowed to remain open after 12 o'clock at night. The whiskey men say this will in measure make up for the loss of the two days on account of the election.

IN THE SEVENTH
Prospects Bright for Burnett's Election
 Closing Rally

Gadsden, November 3.-(Special.) )-There was a big Burnett rally here today closing the campaign. There were fully 2000 peo- pie present, and they were enthusiastic for Burnett. A. s. Stockdale made the opening speech, followed by Col. Sam Will John of Birmingham. Congressman Burnett then made talk of an hour, and he was frequently interrupted by deafen- ing applause. Etowah will give Burnett at least 1900 majority. There are only two counties that Spears will likely carry: St. Clair and Franklin, and both by small ma- jorities.
 Burnett rallies were held in Alabama City and Attalla tonight, and large crowds were out. The Mckinley and Spears rally Friday night in Gadsden and Attalla today were farces only a few peo- pie being out. Burnett's election is assur- ed. All that Is asked Is for all Democrats to go out Tuesday and vote and swell the majority.
 Spears and his crowd are sick and no bets are being made by them, although Burnett's friends offer 5 to 1.

ARE VERY FEW
The Cases That Pyramid Pile Cure Will
 Not Reach

The cases that Pyramid Pile cure do not reach are so few that physicians are dSiaC away with operations for piles and depeh1 more and more upon this simple but safe and effective remedy to accomplish a com plete cure and it never disappoints in any form of piles, whether protrudng, itching or bleeding.
 MT Thomas E. Wood of SIS Seventeenth street, Sacramento, Cal, writes: Tt af- lords me much pleasure to state that after using only one 50-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure, l was cured of the painful and an- moving disease, after having suffered from piles for thirty years and tried every thing and could only get temporary relief. I was advised by two of the best physicians in California to have an operation, and I did and suffered almost death, but the piles returned and my suffering at times was so great I was not able to walk until saw an advertisement of the Pyramid Pile Cure. I got 1t at once and was relieved from the first application I am so grate- ful that I feel like recommending 1t to any and everyone afflicted with piles"
 The prompt relief and rapid cure which follow the use of this remedy gave the im- pression that possibly it might contain opium cocaine or some similar drug, but careful and frequent analysis of the remedy has proven it to contain no injurious drugs whatever, but it cures by astringent pro- perties and healing oils.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug gists everywhere at 50 cents for full sized package.
 Each package contains a little book on cause and cure of piles, together with tes- timonials from thousands of cured patients from every part of the United States and Canada.

ELECTION WEATHER
Chief Moore Takes a Long Shot
 At It

Washington, November 3.-Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, makes the following statement to the As soiated Press regarding the weather on election day:
 'The fall rains have now set in, and therefore it is reasonable to expect con- siderable area on election day will have foul weather. Exactly which states will be affected, however, we will not be able to determine before Sunday night But we do expect that both the New York and Ohio valleys will get fair weather at the same time''
