London, Nov. 4-The South African
situation is improving and Lord Rob-
| ertS Will shortly return to England
with majority of his staff Arrange
ments are being made in Cape Town
| to send the first batch of refugees back
| to Johannesburg and accommodation
| is being provided at Bloemfontein for
a garrison of 1000. Nevertheless the
activity of the Beers continues. On
Oct. 20 a commando of 300 captured a
garrison. of 80 men at Reddersburg,
| but afterward released them. Trains
from the south to Pretoria are at
tackled by the Beers almost daily. On
| Oct. "a the burghers occupied Koffy-
| fontein.
On the other hand Gen. Knox has in
| ficted reverse on Gen. Dewets forces
near Paris, capturing two guns, one
| Of them a weapon lost by the British
in the Sannas Post affair.
The daily list of casualties is heavy.
During the month of October the
British lost 1865 killed, including Is
officers and II who died of wounds, S67
who died of disease, % who died OF
accidents and 81 captured or missing,
a total almost equal to the mortality
average during the war.
The Daily Express publishes sensa-.
tional statements that the Boer re-
vival is more serious than has hither-
to been believed, and that in conse-
quence Lord Roberts return is likely
to be still further postponed. 1t says
also that no considerable party OF
troops will return before January or
February, while the regimental
drafts from England will continue and
5000 horses will be sent out. The
paper definitely declares that the
Beers are well armed and abundantly
supplied with ammunition and that
the campaign is likely to last another
six months. In the best informed
quarters, however it is said there is
no ground for the pessinism of the

Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To-

since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth of commerce of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in

pacity of vessels passing through the

as large again as that of all the YES
