BOSTON WOOI. MARKET-Boston,
July a.-Some Improvement is noted in
ihe wool market here. Manufacturers
they are bidding on many lines of wool,
and in some instances fair purchases are
made. The mills, some Of which are
closed have allowed their stocks of wool
to be breatly reduced in order to buy
more adVantageOusly, and if they secure
much new business it is predicted they
will be forced to buy freely. Arrivals Of
wool from the West. which have been
light for some time are now more fire.

South African and
other sieges
compared.
Neither Paris nor Plevua
compare with Mafeking.

The relief of COl. Baden-PoWell'S
plucky band terminates the last Of
the three sieges which have marked
the war in South Africa. The stub
born defense of Ladysmith, Kimber'
ley and Mafeking recalls in point Of
length and gallantry some OF the
most noted sieges OF modern times,
In the Indian mutiny of 1857,
Caicnpore resisted Mana Sahib but
| three weeks. Lucknow, however,
held out eighty six days, and was
relieved by General HavelOck. Khar-
tum withstood the Mahdi's hosts for
eleven mesths, from Feb. Is, 1884,
to Jan. 25, 1885. Save for a few
Greek merchants General Gordon
was the only white nan in the town.
The defense of Gibraltar was the
longest siege in modern warfare.
The British garrison, under General
Elliot, held the rock against the
combined armies of France and
Spain from July 5, 1879, to Nov.
26, 1871. Every day for weeks g.
900 shell were thro,0n into the town
The governor issued a proclamation
asking the garrison to suggest plans
lor strengthening the notifications.
Frequent sortieS kept the beleagured
troops from starving, but scurvy
claimed almost 1000 men. ~ ~, !. q.
The siege of Paris in the Franco
Prussian war lasted less than six
months, but 10000 persons perished
from disease and hanger.
Osman Pasha and his Turkish
troops held the fortress of Plevna
from Sept. Z to Dec 10, 1877, aga
inst the flower of the Russian army.
The odds were 80 to l against the
beleaguered garrison, but it ,esolu,
tely defied the investing enemy. Fol
twelve weeks the Turkish soldiers
practically lived without food, and
when the last mouthful of rye was
eaten they sailed forth and pluckily
tried to cut their way through the
Russian lines
Sebastopol was besieged by the
French and English armies for ele
ven months, from Oct. II, 1854, to
Sept. 9, 1866. In that investment,
however, it was the besiegers who
suffered. Within the city there vas
plenty Of foo1.
In 1909 Napoleon left Joseph Bo-
naparte in possession oe Madrid.
Saragossa still defed the French,
and the city was invested. Not,
hopever, until the French had sue
cessfully stormed the walls did the
hardest fighting begin. for every
street was barricaded, every house
was fortress, and The Spanish pea
SAINTS contested every inch Of the
French advance through the city for
twenty days. Not until 10000 Of
the inhabitants hiia fialllIees iallIeess did did the
garrison surrender.

ance. Gen. Young's command was

ions of the Third and Fourth CaVal-
ry, the Macabebe battalion of native
scouts under Major Batson, the
Fourth Cavalry, and the Twenty-se-
cond, Twenty fourth, Thirty. third,
Thirty fourth, and Thitty-seventh
Infantry.
According to the report, Gen.
Young started from San Fernando

ga River, passed around the TANKS
