Knox caught DeWet in the Rensburg
drift. The Beers lost considerably and.
left two guns and three wagons in
Knox's hands. The British casualties
are none"
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair,
General Roberts says it was due to the
treachery OF the Inhabitants, who adj
mitted the Beers to their houses at
night. They opened fire at daybreak.
Fourteen men were Killed and thir-
teen wounded. mostly Cape Highland!
ers. Troops dispatched from Modder
river drove off the Beers. The houses
of the treacherous Inhabitants were
destroyed. Commandant Bosnian was
killed.
Roberts calls attention to the .in-
~creasing inclination of the better class
of Beers to cooperate with the British
to secure peace" since they find that
guerrilla warfare is visited with heavy
punishment"

Manila, Oct. 24: via Hong Kong, Oct.
s0.-The rebel captain, Noyicio. has
been tried by military commission at
Balar, charged with burying alive a
seaman named Mcdonald OF Lieuten-
ant Gilnnore'as party. Novicio was found
guilty and sentenced to death. The
commissions sentence Is now in the
hands Of General Macarthur for APP
proval. Testimony was produced at
the trial showing Noyicio also caused
the death of Beuville, another member
of Lieutenant Gilmore's party, by de-
.livering him into the hands Of the
Igorrottes, who, under the pretext of
going fishing, lured the man into the
woods and murdered him, with two
Spanish friends, who were Beuville's
fellow captives. The tribesmen bound
Beuville, opened his. veins and sucked
his blood. The evidence showed that
Novicio killed a man named Rodriguez,
who was suspected OF being friendly to
the Americans. General Wheaton has
approved the commissions sentence.

London. Oct. 31.--The City Imperial
volunteers who arrived at Southamp-
ton from South Africa on Saturday
evening reached here by train this
morning. marched through London,
along streets packed by thousands. and
received a tumultuous greeting. Such
a demonstration was probably never
before evoked for such a small body of
volunteers. The postponement of Lon
don's welcome until today diminished
the number of spectators. but the en-
thusiasm could scarcely have been
more general or genuine. Early in the
day Queen Victoria sent d message to
the returning troops, welcoming them
and inquiring as to their health. The
prince of Wales came. to town and
viewed the procession from Marlbor-
ough house. Other royal personages
who watched the little band of men in
khaki uniforms were Princess Louise,
duchess of Argyle, and Prince Edward
of Saxe-Weimar, who. with many 9TH
er distinguished people, mac taken up
positions of vantage early in the morn
ing. The clubs in the parade presented
an unusual spectacle. Hundreds of
women were at the windows. these
sacred precincts having thrown open
their doors in honor Of the great c-
casion. All along the line of march

In addition to the City Imperial vol

procession the bands OF twelve volun-

Among the most interesting features
of the display was the presence in the

\ following statement, made In Chi
cage, by Hon. John w. Springer, Ere
sident of the National Live Stock Elk
position:
There is no reas0l to doubt that
4 exposition to be held at the Stock
yards in Chicago on December ! to 8.
VIII be the largest breeding and fat
stock show ever held in the world. In
point of entries there has nothing gone
before that will compare with 1t, and
II only half OF he people come who
nave stgnifed their intention Of doing
so, In point of attendance 1t will be
the largest crowd that ever visited q
fat stock Show
The pivot aroand which hinges the
matter of most interest to the SOUTH
ern and northern range men. is the fact
that range cattle exhibited In car
loads Will be one of the most attrac-
tive features of the exposition. Moth
Ing in the line OF districting live stock
by sections has eve been attempted,
ana the action of the management Is
highly appreciated by tine range peo-
pie generally. each section Will be
represented by some of the best heards
In the United States. and will vie with
one another in presenting the claims OF
their section to the feeders Of this
country"
The northern buyer of southern cat
tie Is coming to this exposition in the
capacity of juror in his own Interest.
The grower from the south will be here
in a similar capacity for his interest,
and when he judgment is rendered
these people will have a great time
comparing their own Judgment on
stock, and so many Of them being
brought together, undoubtedly larger
trades will be consummated at this ex-
position than any live stock meeting of
the year. In fact. no such opportunity
has even been afforded northern and
southern men to buy and sell by sam
pie as this will give them. and they
are all going to be here and see the
Show"
The Southern Passenger bureau has
granted a rate of one-fare plus 50 for
the exposition and it Is likely that
other associations will take like ac-
ion.

Internal improvements.

Washington. Oct. 30.-The important
subject of coast defense is n con-
sidered in the annual report OF. Chief
Of Engineers Wilson. Generally speak
Ing, he reports most gratifying prog
ress in the execution of various pro
jects during the fiscal year. The tor
pedo system has been under careful
study by expert officers In the light OF
the experience gained during the Span
ish war, but so for only minorschanges
have been proposed. Up to the present
thirty localities have been selected fol
defense on the coast. No formal pro
jects have been added to the list dur
Ing h past year, but preliminary pro
jects have been framed for the defense
of several localities. The general says
active measures for the defense of our
new island possessions should be de
ferred no longer, In view of their i'm
portance. The total estimates sub
mitted on account of Notifications for
next year amount to IS, 7l5. 1000. of which
mount $4,710,G00 Is OF account of the
construction of gun and mortar bat
teries and position finders. Attention
is invited to Ii urgent need for an In
crease In the artillery arm of the serv-
ice, which is now too small to take
care Of costly and. complex defense
works.
General Wilson makes an earnest
plea for the reinforcement of the engt-
reer corps, which is now overtaxed by
tie additional work required on ac-
count of the new territory.
Estimates for river and harbor i'm
~proNements for the year ending 1909
a~ggregating $50 600, 600, are submitted,
to which is added 100000 for surveys
and contingencies, sS,S9O.0oo for the
Mississippi river commission, and
s1.o40,000 for the Missouri river com
mission. The report reviews all the
work done during the fiscal year and
refers especially to a number of i'm
portant subjects. including the Ghica-
go drainage canal. If the latter pro-
ject the report says all the interests
affected cannot be satisfied and the
subject must be referred to congress
for ultimate settlement.
River and Harbor Work..
Among the estimates for river and
harbor work next year are these:
Mississippi river between the Ohio
and Missouri rivers. S750,GO0: between
the Missouri river n st. Paul, $780,

err, Il 5000; Calumet farbor and river

Pierre. s.. d. Oct. 31.-At the time of
organization of new counties bordering
on the reservations in this state, they
desired to attach as much of the reser-
walton country as possible for judicial
purposes, and by a little effort secured
such action on the part of the Ieglsla-
ture as to give them their desire. Since

affected are tired of the attachment
business. Stanley county has been
compelled to try several murder suits
growing out of this construction Of the
powers of the United States courts,
and has been to a heavy expense on
that account. As a result the residents
of that county will come before the
next legislature with q bill for an APP
preparation to reimburse them for this
expense. II they secure what they are
after. no doubt other counties will
come in asking for similar assistance.
