SURRENDER TO eoERs.

Four Hundred British Soldiers Lay
Down Their Arms.
London has been startled by the news
of another British defeat at the hands of
the Beers. The Dewctsdorp garrison
has surrendered. and Gen. Dewet has
captured 400 British prisoners. This
news, coming after repeated dispatches
from the front saying the war was prac-
tically over and only a few scattered
guerrilla bands remained to be subdued.
has caused great alarm in England. The
story is told i'll the following dispatch
from Johannesburg by Lord Roberts:
''The Dewetsdorp garrison of two guns
Of the Sixty-eighth field battery, with de-
tachments of the Gloucestershire rcgi-
ment, the Highland Light infantry and
Irish Rifles, 400 in all. surrendered at
$50 p. M, Nov. 23. Our losses were
fifteen men killed and forty-two wound-
ed, including Maj. II. j. Anson and Cap
tain Digby. The enemy is said to be
$500 strong. Fourteen hundred men
were dispatched from Edcnburg to re-
lieve Dewetsdorp, but they did not sue
coed in reaching there in time. Knox
joined this force and found Dcwetsdorp
evacuated. Scventy-fivc sick and wound
ed had been left there. Knox pursued
and is reported to have successfully en-
gagged Steyn and Dc Wet near Vaalbank
Nov. q. They retired west and south

ASKS FOR NEW SHIPS.
Secretary Longs Annual Report On
Naval Affairs.

Naval Affairs.
Two new battlcships, two armored
cruisers, six gunboats and half dozen
smaller vessels are asked of Congress by
Secretary of the Navy Long in his annual
report to the President. The request is
more moderate than those of the general
board Of the navy, of which Admiral
Dewey is head, and of the board of con-
struction, made to the Secretary, but the
appropriations necessary for the construc
tion Of the vessels would be at least $1O,-
100000 as it is.
Secretary Long makes his recommends
tions briefly and without urging them, but
he puts them forward as desirable in the
prospective development of the naval
force.
There are now under way in the shin
yards eight battlcships and forty-fvc 9TH
er vessels of all classes. During the past
year three battlcships, the Alabama,
kearsarge and Kentucky, one protected
cruiser, the Albany, and two torpedo
boats, have been finally conditionally ac-
cepted by the government.
Among other recommendations made is
one that the grade OF vice admiral be re-
vived by Congress, that means be found
for establishing national reserve in ad-
dition to the naval militia of the various
States. and that n hall of public records
be built for the preservation not only of
the accumulated records of the Navy De-
partmcnt, but also of all other executive
departments. The building of a large
dry dock in the Philippines and the erec-
tion of statue to Admiral Porter are
also recommended.

Another snarl or two was put in the
Western football tangle on Thanksgiv-
ing day when Chicago beat Michigan and
Northwestern tied with Iowa. AS the
situation is now there are no Western
football champions. Iowa will claim the
honor, but Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Northwestern will say the Hawkeyes did
not prove their superiority. They did
not beat Chicago as badly as Wisconsin.
yet Illinois and Northwestern tied and
Northwestern beat Chicago and tied
Iowa. Chicago tied Minnesota and Wis
the situation as mixed up as Chinese
puzzle.
On the face of it Minnesota appears to
have the best of it, but the Millers have
played few games with the big teams,
and Wisconsin and Chicago claim they
are not so good as Iowa. Stagg insists
Wisconsin is the best team in the West,
while Michigan men say that at this time
Chicago is the strongest. The Maroons
admit they have no claim ON the cham
pionship. but declare they can beat Min
nesota. Northwestern is silent, but seems
to be thinking hard.
That Minnesota was by no means in
vincible was proven by the scores of the
Chicago and Wisconsin game, but Ne
braska emphasized this by making two
touchdowns. Nobody will say Nebraska
is as good as Chicago or Wisconsin, and
the Iowa State eleven, which was badly
beaten by Iowa University, beat Nebras-
ka. Accordingly, everybody can pick his
own favoritc and argue that it is best.

RIVERS IN a FLOOD.
DlIaster Along the Monoueahela, the
Allegheny and the Ohio.

The damage done by the storm which
swept the Atlantic seaboard, the eastern
lake region and the Ohio valley Sunday
and Monday can scarcely be estimated
because reports have not been received
from numerous localities where the loss
was greatest. In Pennsylvania and West
Virginia the damage by flood will reach
into the hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars. As far west as the State Of Ohio
the wind and rain wrought great destruc-
tion Of property.
In their mad rush the waters ruined

ment thousands of workmen by the fore
ed suspension of the many industrial es-
tablishmcnts lining the banks of both
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers,
and rendered hundreds of families home
less.
From Ohio points come stories of des-
olation and destruction of property. In

directions are badly delayed. At Cha

stroyed. The Ohio river and all streams
in the southern portion of the State are
rising rapidly. A reservoir, located a
mile above Chauncey, burst and. flooded
the town. Nearly every residence in the
place was damaged. A hundred yards of
railroad track was washed out. One hun
dred men working in the Chauncey mine
narrowly escaped drowning.
Trains all through Tennessee were bad
ly delayed. No trains reached Paducah,
Ky, over the Nashville and Chattanooga
line for three days. Rain fell necessarily
for more than fifty hours throughout
West Virginia, and all the streams are
ovcrflowing. The Kanawha at Charles
ton reached the danger point, and people
in the lowlands hastily moved out. In
the Guyandotte valley the river and it's
tributaries are overhowing their banks
and are bearing away quantities of prop
erty. Nine thousand logs have gone out,
taking with them the false work of the
two new Guyandotte Valley Railroad
bridges south of Barboursvillc. Loss es-
timatcd at $4,000 to $4,000 The track
of the new Guyandotte Valley Railroad,
just completed to Salt Rock, distance OF
eighteen miles, has been almost ruined.

The one central figure in European pol
itics last week is Paul Kruger, president
Of the Transvaal republic. He is IN un-
couth, almost unlettered, Boer, bent with
age. He is the president of republic
that has been beaten into the earth by
the iron heel Of British army 100000
strong and commanded by the greatest
military leader of the old world. The
Boer army is scattered. Sixteen thou
sand Boer soldiers are prisoners at st.
Helena, in Ceylon, or in Cape Town. The
rest, broken up into guerrilla bands, are
being driven from shelter to shelter in
the Transvaal or the Orange Free State.
The Boer women and children have been
driven from their farms to the smaller
towns and from the smaller towns to the
larger cities. There is nothing left Of
the Boer republic but the name and Pres
ident Kruger. What will Europe do with
Kruger! Is he an element of danger to
England! These are questions being ask
ed by thinking meh in England us well
as on the continent. Apparently Kruger's
only hope for assistance lies in the
French people, and President Loubet and
his premier, Waldeck- Rousseau, are eyi.
dently determined that even the volatile
ism of the French people shall not sway
the government hairs breadth from nm
attitude absolutely correct toward Great
Britain. But if the French excess of en-
thusiasm for Kruger can be turned into
political channel and the Waldeck-
Rousseau ministry be overturned, the sit
uation might take on an altogether DIFF
ferent aspect. 1t is fairer to assume that
Kruger is making final effort to secure,
through diplomacy, that pressure on Eng
land that may compel the British gov
ernment, from motives of self-interest
alone, to grant at least autonomy to the
Boer races.
