ROBERTS IS WEARY
Sick and Tired of War ard
 Would Like to Retire.
HE WANTS TO GO TO INDIA

And Pass Remainder of His Days in
 Quietness England Will Send .,,U1o
 More Mounted Men to Southl Africa
 Within the Next Few Months The
 Men Who Have Served Over Two
 Years Will Be Brought Home Soon.
 New York, Nov 4.--At the service clubs 1t is reported that Lord Roberts IS anxions to retire. says the London correspondent of the Tribune He has never intended to remain the full per- iod at the war office and he is credited with q desire to pass the winter of his days in quiet retirement in India. While the war lasts. however, it Is al- most certain the commander-in chief will not leave his post. reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Commenting upon the South African military situation, the London corre- spondent of the Tribune says:
 Tt is understood to be the intention of the war office to send 5000 more mounted men out to South Africa dur lHS lHe HeAt SIX weeks There are only about 1000 mounted men at home so that the military authorities are faced with the problem of training sOl- diers minus the necessary accompani- ment of q cavalry arm. To meet this obvious failing it is probable thar sew eral composite regiments of yeomanry will be voluntarily embodied for home service. A move will soon be made to bring home from South Africa the men who have served over, two years in the var and their place may be ta- Ken by the British cavalry division of seven regiments now in India After the conclusion of hostilities it is ex- pected that permanent garrison at the Cape will consist of fifty thousand men,

STARVED THEIR PATIENTS.
Nurses In an Insane Asylum Under
 Grave Charges.

CHICAGO, Nov 1.-Two female at Cunning, Ill. were today formally charged by Secretary Follett W. Bull of the Civil Service Reform association with having caused the death of two patients in the asylum, Kate Neddo and Kate Kurkowski.
 The charge is made that the nurses deliberately withheld food from the pa- tients, sometimes giving them nothing at ali and for weeks nothing but bread and tea, It is also charged that medi- cines provided for the patients were not administered to them. The motive as- signed in the charge is that the patients were especially obnoxious to the nurses and that their course was prompted by desire to so weaken the patients that they would become i'll and be sent to q ward for the sick, thus relieving the nurses of the care of them. It is charg- ed that this course was carried too far and that the patients death resulted from it.
 The women died early in September, and the causes of death were given in the death certificates as hamilton in one case and scurvy in the other. The case was brought to the attention of the Civil Service Reform association by Miss Jane Addams. Miss Julia c. La throp and Dr. Alice Hamilton of Hull House, who gained their first informa- ton from Dr. Clara Ferguson, for six. years woman physician at Cunning.

CRITICIZED GOVERNMENT.

Paris. Nov 4In the chamber of deputies to-day, NJ. Sembat q radical socialist interpolated the government on the F'rahco-Turkish dispute. He criticized the action taken as being for a material end and claimed that France ought to have interfered at the time of the Armenian massacres. The foreign minister, NJ. Delcasse, replied that Frances position exonerated her in the present difficulty. There was no fresh advantage pursued, but every body would agree that the effort on the part of France ought to at least serve to put an end to the unjust treatment which French works i'll the Orient. scholastic and hospitable establish ments, and commercial and industrial enterprises, had been the object.

UNCLE SAM'S MAIL
Recommendations by Assistant Post
 master General.

master General.
 WASHINGTON, Nov 4.-The annual report of Second Assistant Postmaster General William $. Shallenburger, just made public, urges regular direct fast mail service between the Pacific coast and the orient, the re-estabiish- ment of the pneumatic tube service generally and the closer separation of city mail by postal clerks on railway trains rather than by clerks of the mailing division after its arrival in the general office. Under the last named proposition the entire force engaged in distributing the mail ready for the carriers would be under one manage ment, and congestion in a postoffice could be overcome by the temporary detail of railway mail clerks off duty. The city distribution postal cars have been assumed entirely by the railway mail service, supplanting the former practice of having clerks from the city postofices go out some distance on the road to meet incoming trains.
 Constant demands are now being made for still closer separation by having the railway mail clerk or su-
 
 going mail from the public and see that it is expeditiously dispatched and also deliver the incoming mail, properly made up for the carriers. Mir. Shallen- burger suggests for the present test Of the practical operation of this prop osition at postofices whose gross re- ceipts are S500,000 or more year.
 The Dostoff1ce department has no contract for direct mail service be- tween the Pacific coast and the Philip pines, mails being carried by govern E1ent transports or by steamers to Hongkong and thence by steamers of other countries to Manila
 ''The mail service and commercial interests says the report, would be greatly advanced by fast mail steam CTS adhering strictly to schedule time between the Pacific coast and Manila and calling at other ports at regular intervals under contract with this gov ernment."
 The. request for an appropriation of S500,000 for pneumatic service is re- newed as a basis for beginning the service, which, when fully established, it is stated, will involve an annual ex- penditure approximately $S00,000. The department expresses its opinion and that of the commission of experts that investigated the subject that the out right purchase of the system should not be considered by congress pending a more complete test.
 The report shows that on June 30 last there were 267, ,357 miles of star route service. 1S3. .358 of railroad routes, 5,779 of railway postoffice car routes and almost 5000 miles of electric and cable. car routes. The annual rate of expenditure for all classes of domestic mail transportation mail service has in creased S6, $40, ,2S5 since last year.

NEW JERSEY POLITICS.
Both Parties CIsim Victory on Eve
 of Rattle.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The guberna- torial campaign i'll New Jersey was brought to close with the leaders of both parties claiming a victory for their respective candidates 1t has been one of the most stubborn battles ever fought in the state, the Republic ans leaving no stone unturned to hold the state machinery which they have controlled for nearly q decade, while the Democrats struggled to take it from them.
 The Republicans base their hopes on two things-first, the large majority which must be wiped out by the oppo- sition and. second, on the fact that they think the voters of the state, pleased . at the prosperous condition of affairs in the nation, will return Republican governor as an evidence of their in- dorsement of the national administra- tion and as an assurance to the present. head of the administration that they have confidence in him. It was prin- cipally on the latter issue that the par ty made it's fight
 The Democrats claim victory chiefly on the personal popularity of their can- didate for governor, James M., Sey- mour. He is very popular with the working classes. and his strength is ac knowledged by his opponents. He has thrice been elected mayor of Newark by large majorities.
 Both state committees have compiled tables made up from reports from va rious counties of the state. The Re publicans by their figures show that Franklin Murphy, their candidate for governor, who is also chairman of the committee, will be elected by about 10000 majority
 The table compiled by William B. Gourley, chairman of the Democratic state committee, shows that Mayor Seymour will have about 5000 major it7.

The Outlook In Pennsylvanfa.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4 The campaign just closed i'll Pennsylvania has attracted more than the ordinary off year interest i'll consequence of the fusion of the Democrats and independ- ent Republicans on candidates for tha only two state offices to be filled, state treasurer and justice of the supreme court. The Republicans, organized un. der the name of the Union party, join. ed with the Democrats in the nomina- ton of B. A. Coray, Jr., Republican, for state treasurer and Herman Yerkes, a Democrat for supreme court justice against the regular Republican noni- nees, Frank G. Harris, for state treas urer, and William F. Potter, for SUI. preme judge. The fusion leaders are making strong predictions that their candidates will carry the state, while on the other hand the regular Repub- lican leaders express confidence in bringing their candidates safely through, though passively conceding that the majority may be lowered from that of two years ago. when Bar nett, Republican, was elected state treasurer by 10000 majority over Greasy Democrat,

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Herald to- day prints sensational article from it's correspondent at Honda, which says: .'Dr. Manuel Antonio Sanclemente, the venerable president of the Republic of Colombia, has been kidnapped by the or ders of the political leaders who had already stripped him of power. Locked in a guardo, a miserable parody on the sedan chair in which courtiers once took their ease, he is being hurried over rough mountain roads from his home in Villeta, department of Cundinana- raca, to Pichihi, in the department of Cauca. The greatest secrecy has been observed, and every effort has been made to prevent the facts from becom ing public for fear that the friends and allies of the deposed president might attempt to rescue him. No paper in the republic today would dare to print the bare fact that Sanclemente had left Villeta., much less that he was pris. oner"

A FERROUS AIR TRIP.
Occupants of Escaped Captive BaI-
 loon Land Safely


 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The nine occupants of the captive balloon which escaped from this city Saturday after noon have returned safely. The balloon was landed near Pescadero, fifty miles from this city and but short distance from the ocean. The balloon was al one time setting out to sea, but was blown back to land. Those who made the involuntary trip were Ed P. Dud ley, aeronaut; A. L. Dodge, Ed Foster Jr; Walter Leon, c. P. Vildecoq, J. F Leonard. NJ. L. Howar.h, John A. NJ Swift and Mrs. J. P. Gunsaulus.
 A. L. Dodge, one of the passengers describing the trip, said the balloon first started toward Oakland and after circling about for a time drifted south ward and became stationary for a short period. Then, catching breeze from the eastward, it sailed over the San Aateo hills and stood far out over the ocean, and the occupants of the wicker cage faced the prospect of q plu sge into the sea. Twice, according 10 Dodge's story, the balloon dipped close to the surface of the water, but rose again each time to q considerable altitude Finally breeze from the sea caught the balloon and carried it back over the land and after dragging the cage through the tops of q grove of trees landed it on a hillside six miles from Pescadero.
 Ut was terrible experience" said Dodge, .'and I would not undergo the same adventure again for any consid- eration. Everybody was more or less shaky, while the woman passenger and two or three men were so sick that they sat in the bottom of the basket throughout the trip"

KENNEDYsS SPEECH.
He Handled Republican Partisans
 Without Gloves Saturday night.


 It is amusing to hear people talk about General Kellogg's trained judg ment and broad Knowledge, when ey- erybody who knows him is well aware that he has always been out il favor of corporations as against the people. One of the speakers Saturday night had this to say regarding the two can- didates. F. r. GuilfOile and Stephen W. Kellogg: If Mir Guilfoile is 100 young to represent us in the reform convention. then General Kellogg s too old. Where was General Kellogg nonl- inated2 In the office Of his son, .Ionn, who has succeeded in gerrymandering the wards of this town so that ever 1000 democrats can elect but six al- dermen, while 3,6e0 republicans elect nine aldermen. Did General Kellogg appear against this measure when is was before the committee in Hart ford? Did he do anything 70 prevent his son from getting such an act passed? Did he do anything towards calling off his son, Charles F. Kellogg, from lobbying against the orphan asylum bill passed by the last legisla- ture, which opens the doors of the or phan asylums of the state to the clergy of all denominations? Hasn't le been active in opposition to the free texr book system in our public schools which is designed to wipe out class distinctions i'll our educational institu. tions? I challenge anyone to point oat an act that General Kellogg or lis fa,n- fly ever had anything to do with that was not unfair towards q majority cf the people Of this town and the whole state. They tell Us there are no poiI- tics in this, convention and that they want Waterbury to be represented there by . on-partisan and In supDort of their claim they ask Us to vote for one Of the rankeSt partisans in the city. General Kellogg is one of our reyercd citizens. but he is,also one of the most persistent advocates of the centraliZa ton Of power in either party and has borne that reputation all his life. Who nominated General Kellogg? Warren Hall, God bless the markr'

SCRANTON, Nov. Alt is quite pos sible that the threatened strike of the 4,0OO men employed in the eight col lieries of the Temple Coal company may be averted. Superintendent Thorne told the mems committee that if it can be shown that the fifty dismissed men were known by the foreman to be Maltby strikers when they were hired the company would probably recall the dismissals The men say there is no question but that the Temple compa- ny's foreman Enaw these men were grom among the Maltby strikers.
