DEPUTIES CONTINUE DISCUSSION,
Question of a Loan of 265, ,ooo, ,ooo
 Francs Is Debated.

Paris November 1s.-The Chamber of Deputies today continued the discussion of the bill authorizing loan of 265, 0O00OO francs in per cent perpetual rents to reimburse the treasury for its outlay in connection with the Chinese expedition and the indem nification of French suffer CTS in China.
 M. Sembat asked that the report of General Voyron regarding the. military operations in China be submitted to the budget committee in order that the com mittee might know the facts of the case with reference to the disorders and pillage attributed to the French troops.
 M. Waldeck-Rousseau. the premier, made a forcible reply, defending the policy of France in protecting French missionaries in China With reference to General Voyron's report he said that as France was not alone in China portions of the report had been marked conh- dential and would never be published.
 The premier's speech produced a great effect in the chamber and will probably result in carrying the governments scheme practically unchanged. The de- bate was adjourned to Thursday.

ADVISES THAT THE
 BOERS BE SMASHED
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THIS IS ONLY WAY TO ENSURE PEACE IN SOUTH AFRlcA-BoERs' PIE. cULlAR BELIEF.

New York, November 19-Mail adyices rom Natal to the jLondon Times and New York Tims. says the problem in South Africa is a complicated one and cannot be grasped by reading the news papers.
 The correspondent says the British must be made to understand that they have 10 deal with a peculiar people, whose very elementary education has been di- rected by their interruptions and am- bilious leaders to imbuing them with the belief that, as the chosen of God, they are called to the domination of South Africa. They are taught that the Ame- lakite Britisher is to be driven into the sea, leaving them the blacks as their hewers of wood and drawers of water, as In the days of the great trek.
 In Natal, the correspondent says, the people are either thoroughly loyal or thorough rebels, but in Cape Colony thou sands of Afrikanders are on the fence.
 There has been too much sentimental humbug, declares the correspondent. He Insists that the inhabitants must be thoroughly smashed and made to feel that they are smashed" for the sake of the future quiet of South Africa. Then will be the time for the British to be gen. erous. After peace comes the burghers can bc handled easily, if the scales of Justice are evenly held.

FEEL NO APPREHENSION.
Export of Gold Causes No Alarm In
 Washington.

Washington, November 19.-Treasury of- ficials feel no apprehension what ever on account of the exportation of gold Secretary Gage regards the shipments as a very natural movement in view of the general demand for money in Europe and he believes there is nothing in the sitJQtion to cause the least uneasiness On the contrary, treasury officials say that the business affairs of Europe with in the last few years have become so intimately connected with our own that a monstary stringency or disturbance of any character there should be dzplored, and if possible relieved for the common good.
 At this time there is an unusual de- mand for money in several European financial centers, and it Is to be expected that United States investors would take advantage of the increased interest rates and ship their funds to the best market. The officials do not believe, however that the shipments will assume very large proportions, especially as any consider able amount would so increase interest at home as to make foreign shipments un- profitable.

 Twenty classes were on the days pro- gramme, with hackneys and trotters as the special feature of the morning. The blue ribbon for Shetland brood mares went to T. L. Watts, Sr. .'s Gladys.

DENSE FOG COVERS
 ALL BIRMINGHAM
AN UNWELcoME VISITOR AR. RIVED FROM LONDON LAST NIoHT-oTHER SOUTHERN GIT. IFS HAVE FIRST SNOW.

A Heavy Fog, London. Eng, registered in Birmingham last night. The visit was most unwelcome, though the guest was from dear old Lunnon town, from where few visitors to the Magic City are able to enter their names.
 Last nights visitor is unlike any of the lords, or tailors, who have hitherto come across the water In that respect 1t may be an impostor. But from the entire manner in which the city was covered it was near relative to London if not the original, hailing from the town on the Isle.
 The presence of Fog was first felt at about Il o'clock, at which time lights were visible for only two blocks dis tant. Later everything was so covered up that light could be seen only for a half block. In some cases men asserted they could not see the lighted end of their cigars, so thick was the misty smokiness.
 1 While Birmingham was enjoying or suf- fering from the presence of the London visitor, Atlanta and North Georgia towns were laid under snow Throughout the entire South the weather man Is making himself prominent in disagreeable ways.
