NO MORE PLAGUE CASES.
Consul Boyle Assures Passengers
 They Will Not Be Quarantined.

Liverpool. November s.-No further cases of the bubonic plague in Liverpool were officially reported today. MT. Boyle United States consul here, assures in- tending passengers for the United States that they need not fear at present, that they will be ouarantined on reaching Am erican ports.
 Speaking last evening at local hospi- tai banquet MT. Boyle said:
 Realizing my responsibility for such a declaration I assert that the city of Liverpool does more business with the United States than the rest of the world together. I can say that I am not bit nervous over this outbreak of the plague in Liverpool. If thought the situation serious enough to require the quarantine of vessels from Liverpool at United States ports. I would recommend 1t; but thus far have not seen any such necessity

BOERS COULD NOT
 RETAIN THE GUNS
ATTACK ON BRITISH A DEsPER- ATE EFFORT TO ovERWHELM WHOLE FoRcE-BoERs LOST BETWEEN 300 AND 400.

Pretoria, November 3.-Further details have been received regarding the attack by the Boers under Commandant General Louis Botha last week upon Colonel Ben- sons column near Braken Laagte, East ern TransvaaI. It appears that General Botha. who had been joined by another big commando aggregating a thousand men, attacked Colonel Benson's rear guard October 30 on the march and cap tured two guns. but was unable to re- tain them. Colonel Benson fell mortaliy wounded early in the fight
 Major Wool-Sampson took command, collected the convoy and took up posi- ton for defense about 800 yards from the entrenchm ents prepared by the Boers. neither side could touch them.
 The Boers made desperate efforts to overwhelm the whole British force, charging repeatedly right up to the British lines and being driven back each time with heavy loss., The defense was stubbornly and successfully maintained through the whole of the following day and tho succeeding night until Colonel Barter, who had marched all night from Bushman's Kop. brought relief on the morning of November L The Boers then retired. Their losses are estimated as be- tween 300 and 400.
 Colonel Benson did not long survive. Not only did General Botha direct the att tack, as already cabled but he personally shared in the fighting.

of two years ago when Barnett (RepublI- can) was selected state treasurer by H. 900 majority over Greasy Democrat.
 The campaign in Philadelphia has been unusually active, the interest centering in the fight for district attorney. The regular Republicans backed by the city and state administration force and Unit ed States Senators Penrose and Quay placed in nomination John Weaver for district attorney while the union party and municipal league named the pres ent incumbent, P. F. Rothermel, a Re- publican. A faction of the Democratic party, however. refused to join the re- formers and placed in regular nomina- tion Wm. w. Carr, a Democrat and post master of the city during the Cleveland administration.
 It is generally admitted, however, that the real battle at the polls on Tuesday will be between the respective adherents of Weaver and Rothermel. Many promi- nent Democrats. among them ex-Govern- or Robt. E. Pattison, have been active participants in the campaign in the inter- est of Rothermel. The latter was elected in 1898 by a majority of 73,500. but at that time he had the support of the regular Republican forces now opposing his re- election.

IOWA IS CLAIMED
 BY REPUBLICANS
CHAIRMAN SPENCE ESTIMATES A VOTE OF 44o,ooo OF WHICH THE REPUBLICANS CLAIM 25o, o,ooo--- NO DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES.

Des Moines Iowa, November 8-There have been no new developments today in the election outlook beyond the severe change in the weather, which if contin- ued. is likely to affect the turnout at the polls.
 Chairman Spencer of the Republican state committee estimates a total vote of about 44O.0eO of which he thinks the Republican ticket will get 250.ooo. The Democratic ticket 175,ooo, the prohibition ists 14,0OO and the remainder scattering. This would give 750O0 plurality for the Republican ticket. Frank 0. Stuart. sec retary of the Democratic state commit tee, thinks the Republican estimates are too large, but refuses to give any figures of his own.
 J. H. Campbell, chairman of the pro- hibition state committee says he is sat- isfied with the prospects of the prohibi- tion ticket, the largest in fact ever cast for that ticket in this state. He esti- mates the minimum vote of his party at 25,000.

PUSIONISTS CLAIM
 PENNSYLVANIA
LEAVE NO STONE UNTuRNED TO RETAIN STATE MACHINERY WHICH THEY HAVE CONTROLLED 20 YEARS.

Philadelphia, November 3.-The cam paign just closed in Philadelphia has att tracted more than the ordinary "off year" interest in consequence of the fu- sion of Democrats and Independent Re- publicans on candidates for the only two state offices to be hlIed-state treasurer and justice of the Supreme Court.
 The Independent Republicans, organized under the name of the union party, joined with the Democrats in the nomination of F. A. Coray. Jr.. Ca Republican, for state treasurer and Herman Yerkes Ca Dem ocrat) for supreme court justice against the regular Republican nominees, Frank G. Harris for state treasurer and wm. F. Potter for supreme judge
 The fusion leaders are making strong predictions that their candidates will car ry the state. while on the other hand the regular Republican leaders express confi- dence in bringing their candidates safely through. though passively conceding that the majority may be lowered from that

FIGHTING HARD TO
 KEEP NEW JERSEY
REPUBLICAN, LEADERS, HoW- EVER, EXPRESS CONFIDENCE IN BRINGING THEIR cANDl- DATES THROUGH.

New York, November 3.-The guberna- torial campaign in New Jersey was brought to a close, last night with the leaders of both parties claiming victory for their respective candidates. It was one of the most stubborn ever fought in the state, the Republicans leaving no stone unturned to hold the state ma chinery, which they have controlled for nearly a decade, while the Democrats struggled to take 1t from them.
 The Republicans base their hopes on two things-frst, the large majority which must be wiped out by the opposi- tion, and second. on the fact that they think the voters of the state, pleased with the prosperous condition of affairs In the nation, will return Republican Governor as an evidence of their endorse ment of the national administration and as an assurance to the present head of the administration that they have con- fidence in him. It was principally on the latter issue that the party made its fight.
 The Democrats claim victory chiefly on the personal popularity of their can- didate for Governor. James M. Seymour. He Is very popular with the working classes and his strength is acknowledged by his opponents. He has thrice been elected Mayor of Newark by large ma jorities.
 Both state committees have compiled tables made up from reports from var ious counties of the state. The Republi- cans, by their figures, show that Frank lin Murphy, their candidate for Govern or, who Is also chairman of the commit tee. will be elected by about 10000 ma jority.
 The table compiled by William Gour- ley. chairman of the Democratic state committee. shows that Mayor Seymour will have about 5000 majority.

NO NO TTCE OF HECNEEs Minister Wu Has Not Received of- ficiaI Word From Hls Governmenr

Washington. November 3-Mr. Wu. the Chinese minister, who returned tonight from Ann Arbor, Mich.. said he had not received any notice of his recall to China, a step which Pekin dispatch of yes terday's date. said had been determined upon. nor had he received any intimation that he would be asked to return.
 As he has heretofore expressed himself the minister would not be surprised in the least if such action were contempla- ted by his government. He now has served on the mission here for more than a year longer than the customary time allowed by the foreign office at any one place viz: three years. MT. Wu's tenure has been very satisfactory to the ad- ministration and 1t is understood that it was through representation of the of- ficials here conveyed to the Chinese gov ernment' that it was continued. When asked whether he would return to China if he were recalled Mir. wu replied with feeling:
 why should not I? All my interests are there"

London. November 3.-The special dis patches from South Africa reveal prac- tically nothing further about the disaster to Colonel Benson's column. It appears that the first attack was made in blind ing rainstorm.
 Edgar Wallace, correspondent of the Daily Mail. writing from Pretoria under date of October 12. again protests against official optimism and declares that the war will not be ended for another year. He urges the immediate dispatch of large endorsements of both men and horses.
 .Even when all that is possible has been done in this direction" he says. 1t will be necessary to wait grimly and not to expect any quick result"

SUPPLIES REACH INSURGENTS.
Work Done During Dark Nights By
 Boats From Leyte.

Manila, November S-Advices from Catbalogan. Samar. says it is well known that in spite of the fact that all ports of samar are closed, supplies still reach the insurgents. Most of this work is done during dark nights by small boats from the Island of Leyte. Every available gunboat is now endeavoring to prevent this.
 The capture of Lukban's commissary has proved a. great blow to the insurrec- ton, as 1t renders future supplies very precarious.
 Conditions in the Island of Leyte are very annoying to General Smith. large number of junks are used with the ex- press object of aiding the insurgents in Samar, covering the movements of fugi- tives and landing provisions and cloth ing

There were many ugly rushes and the police were barely able to protect the struggling pro-Boers from the fury of the populace After considerable fighting, during which a man was stab- bed. the pro-Boers were removed under police protection.

Louisville, November 3.-As the four Democratic candidates for United States Senator in Kentucky. ex-Governor Me- Creary, congressmen Wheeler and Smith and Judge Cantrill, decided not to make a canvass for the stump, and as Senator Deboe was the only announced Repub- lican candidate. the campaign in this state preliminary to the election of Tues day, when half of a state Senate and new lower house will be chosen has been without special feature.
