FOR A THIRD PARTY.
Eastern Men of Varied Political Be-
Iiefs Take Steps LoOleing.tO An
other National Ticket.

New York, July 16.-A third ticket,
to be selected by men who are op-
posed to the free silver plank of the
democratic platform and to the al
legged imperialistic schemes of the re-
publican party, may be placed in the
field. A call was issued Sunday for
a meeting to be held in this city this
week, at which plans will be laid, for
attracting to the movement the men
who fought Bryan four years ago, and
who are dissatisfied with the admins
tration of President Mckinley. In
prefacing the call for a meeting the
promoters of the movement say:
1.-THE alternative of voting for McKin-
ley or Bryan cOnfronts many thousands
of thoughtful citizens who are opposed to
both candidates. The voter who cannot
bring himself to indorse either the i'm
perialistic policy of the Mckinley ad-
ministration or the financial illusions of
the Kansas City candidate will find him
self practically forced from the polls on
election day, unless some organized eff
fort is made to enable him to express
his political convictions"
The meeting will be held at the
Plaza hotel on Wednesday at eight
p. m. Thomas NJ. Osborne, of Au-
burn, N. Y, heads the list of signers of
the call. Among the others are Hem
ry Hentz, John Jay Chapman, Jacob
F. Miller, Alfred L. Robinson, Everett
V. Abbot, DR.. r. G. Freeman, Joseph
NJ. Price, Meyer D. Rothschild, Boudi-
not Keith and Paul Fuller, of this city.
and Freeman are republicans, while
the remainder are either gold demo-
Gratis or independents. Mr.. Fuller has
been identified with the Citizens union
movement, while Mr.. Chapman is
prominent in the Social Reform club.
One of the signers of the call said
ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed would
have a chance to decline the nomina-
ton for president.

were trifling.
Details are now at hand regarding
the disaster to the Lincolnshire regi.

five companies were ordered Tuesday
to proceed and hold the pass through
Magalesburg in the neighborhood OF
Daspoortfort. They arrived at the
pass in the afternoon where three com.
panies with two guns took up a posi-.
ton and camped for the night, leaving
two companies on plain south of the
pass.
The eastern hill was rugged, rocky
and inaccessible, but further east ap.
parently approachable from the main
ridge. At daybreak Wednesday the
Beers appeared on the eastern kopje
and opened heavy fire. Confusion en-.
sued. The colonel ordered the men
to take up position on a kopje west
of the gap. From this point hot fire
ensued during the entire day. Two
guns under the escort of the Scots
Greys placed in advance of the main
body were captured after stout re-
sistance. Nearly every man was killed
or wounded.

scene said at the moment of his escape
the men were taking a good posi-.
ton under cover and with fixed bayo-
nets were awaiting the approach of the
Beers.
Losses of British Numerous.
1t is feared that the losses of the
British were numerous. About 80 of
the British soldiers struggled back to
camp. According to all accounts a
great force is being assembled to pre-
vent further progress of the Beers.
