Four Hundred British Soldiers Lay
Down Their Arms.

Down Their Arms.
London has been startled by the news,
of anot,..r British defeat at the hands of
the Beers. The Dewetsdorp 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 aud only few scattered
guerrilla bands remained 10 be subdued,
has caused great alarm in England The
story is told in the following dispatch
from Johannesburg by Lord Roberts:
"The Dewetsdorp garrison of two gunE-
Of the Sixty-eighth field battery with de-
tachments OF the Worcestershire regi-
ment, the Highland Light infantry and
Irish Rifles, 400 in all, surrendered ne

joined this force and found Dewetsdorp-
evacuated. Seventy five sick and wound

gagged Steyn and De Wet near Vaalbank

The disaster at Dewetsdorp has sent
thrill Of alarm through Great Britain.
The censorship continues so strict that
there is no hope Of arriving at clear
conception OF the actual position OF af-
fairs in South Africa.

FAILURES IN WOOL INDUSTRIES.

1hey Bring Up Total of Liabilities IN
November bankruptcies.
+. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: Commercial failures in Mo-
vember were $50 in number and S12,-
3O0,316 in amount of liabilities, against
IS2 in October for S9,072, 791, and $50
in November last year, when liabilities
were only $S,046,S4S Manufacturing de-
faults were but 1913 in number and 3d.
SS3,165 in amount, the bulk of the NOR
tally occurring in trading concerns, Of
which 617 failed for $7,506,35S. There
We're forty other commercial failures,
with Liabilities Of $910,793. Four bank
ing and financial companies defaulted for
SS23,OO0. At first glance the November
statement appears very unsatisfactory,
but 1t must be remembered that few
heavy failures in wool and other textile
industries account for large share OF
the reported liabilities. Aside from this
one branch of trade, which has naturally
OF winter, the failures show business to
be on good foundation. Holiday retail
trade starts off WELL The week has been
characterized by many advances in
prices. The dry goods trade, recovering
after recent liquidation, shows business
expanding, but irregularly and slowly.
The wool market is recovering from the
shock of heavy failures and sales at three
chief Eastern markets increased about
100000 for the week, but prices are
somewhat easier"

RETIRING SENATORS.
There are Thirteen Whose Terms Ex-
pire in March.


pire in March.
At the end of this session of Congress
considerable number of men who have
achieved more or less distinction in the
Senate will retire. Some Republicans
will be succeeded by Democrats, some
Democrats by Republicans, aud some OF
both parties by men of their own polit-
zeal faith. The Senators who will leave
Washington retiring to private life, are
Baker of Kansas, Butler of North Car
DINA, Caffery of Louisiana, Carter of
Montana, Chiffon of Texas, Kenney of
Delaware, Lindsay of Kentucky, Petit
grew of South Dakota, Shoup of Idaho,
Sullivan of Mississippi, Thurston of Ne
braska Turley of Tennessee and Wolcott
Of Colorado. There are several others
who will be opposed for reelection at
the forthcoming legislative sessions who
may also be obliged to remove their sem
atorial togas, but whose reelection IS
probable. These are Chandler of New
Hampshire, Cullom of Illinois and Nelson
of Minnesota. Bacon of Georgia, Berry
of Arkansas, Elkins of West Virginia,
Frye of Maine, Hoar of Massachusetts,
Deliver of Iowa, Mcbride of Oregon,
Mcmillan of Michigan, Martin of Vir-
ginia, Morgan of Alabama. Sewell of
New Jersey, Tillman of South Carolina,
Warren Of Wyoming and Wetmore of
Rhode Island either have been or are
sure to be reelected.
OF the retiring members Wolcott of
Colorado and Thurston of Nebraska are
easily the most distinguished. They have
been counted among the most brilliant
and eloquent members of the upper house
and their retirement is a loss to the Re
publicans. Butler of North Carolina is
the youngest member of the Senate. He
was a Populist leader and has made a
name for himself at Washington as de-
batter. Donelson Caffery, the Louisiana
sugar planter, was one of Grover Cleve-
lands most ardent supporters. Shoup of
Idaho is notable figure from the fact
that. although he has served two terms,
he has done nothing that has made his
name familiar to any except the most
critical students of congressional life.
He is a Republican. was a stock raiser
and mine owner, and helped establish
Idaho in statehood.

fathoms deep, Some officers who were
surveying for a telegraph-cable found
their wire broke at this depth without
reaching the bottom. This is said to
be the deepest sounding ever made. and
is so deep that the two highest noun

Investigation at Princeton, KY, Re-
suits in Startling Disclosures.
An investigation into the death of the
confessed forger, Frank Merrick, at
Princeton, KY. disclosed the fact that
the body of tn dead man is not in the

for divorce by Mrs. Alerrick. Acting on
this information. the arrest was made
and Merrick confessed. He became Ill

uation. She is woman of great beauty
and had been married to Merrick only
few months. Merrick's father has set
