dealings quicklyfollowed the closing,
in which the South Africans slumped
heavily.
The news caused excitement in the
mine market. Throgmorten street
was thronged with South African op-
orators eagerly inquiring for details
of the British defeat and watching the
effect of the announcement. Shares
were offered freely at first, but by six
o'clock the excitement had abated and
the curb tone hardened.
Excitement in the Commons.
The news was received in the house
of commons amid great excitement.
The reading of Lord Kitchener's tele-
gram by the war secretary, Mr.. Brod-
rick, was listened to in deep silence,
which was broken by loud Irish cheers.
Instantly there We're cries of SHANE"
''Shame!" from the government
benches. Then the, Irish members
seemed to think better of their out
break and suddenly subsidized. The sub
sequent eulogistic references to Gen.
Methuen were received with cheers.
In brief, Lord Kitchener announced

FIRM IN HOUR OF DEFEAT.
Britain Humiliated by the Terrible
Disaster to Methnen But
Not Discouraged.

London, March 12.-Expressions of
steadfastness have succeeded those
of humiliation which were universal
ly heard here Monday, on the publ
cation of the news of Gen. Methuen's
disaster. There is little disposition
to minimize the incident, but every
where is heard the determination to
maintain the tradition that blows
serve to strengthen and stiffen Brit
ish resolution. Lord Rosebery struck
the popular note Tuesday, in a
speech before the Glasgow students.
He admitted that it was heart-break-
ing after all the expenditures of life,
time and money, but, he added:
ut will not dishearten us. We have
got to see this thing through. We
must take the blows which fortune
deals us with equanimity, showing
ourselves worthy of better fortunes"
Reports from the continent that
the defeat of Gen. Methuen was fol-
lowed up by another fight, also
favorable to the Beers, occasion
some anxiety, owing to the absence
of news from Gen. Grenfell's column
of 1900 men, which left Klerksdorp
to join Gen. Methuen. 1t is thought
that, possibly, Gen. Delarey may have
attacked Grenfell.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick,
when asked, in the house of commons
Tuesday what steps had been taken,
in view of the success of the Beers
against Gen. Methuen, to send Lord
Kitchener requirements, said 5000
yeomanry would be Immediately en-
parked with large drafts of cavalry
and infantry. Lord Kitchener
would be given all the assistance he
asked for.

meeting. They called to pay their
respects and to say good-by, as they
will leave for Europe about the Goth
instant after visiting Chicago and a
number of other places.
In the course of their intervie "
they stated that they desired to par-
ticularly make known to the presi.

sired, nor expected Intervention on

SWELLING THE RANKS.
Additions to the Force of Strikers at
Boston Brings Total Up
to 10000

Boston, March 12.-The second day
of the great strike of organized labor
against the demands of the railroad
and steamship companies that mer-
chandise delivered at freight depots by
the r. S. Brine Transportation COM
pany be not Disseminated against,
found large additions to the ranks of
the strikers. Nearly 5000 union men
were ordered out Tuesday, bringing
the grand total of idle men up to about
10000, with the prospect of still great
er increase to-day.
A strong effort has been made to in
duce the Boston central labor union,
which is composed of 90 affiliated
trades of all descriptions, to officially
indorse the strike by ordering out all
it's members, and that body has the
matter under consideration. The eff
feet of such action would be to para
lyze business of all kinds. The central
labor union has thus far taken no part
in the fight.
The state board of arbitration had
before it President Cox and the strike
committee of the allied freight trans
portation council, but no way of set
Element could be agreed upon. This
committee also waited upon Mayor Col.
Inns, where the serious condition of af-
fairs were discussed and he promised
his best efforts to effect an under
standing between the parties at issue
Deeming the situation sufficiently
grave to warrant his taking such ac-
ton, Mr.. Collins sent telegram to
Hon. M. A. Hanna, at Washington,
asking that the national civic fedora
ton, of whose executive committee
Mr.. Hanna is chairman, should interest
itself in the matter and endeavor to
effect settlement by arbitration.

May Send More Troops.
The feeling of depression in the lob
bies of the house of commons over the
news of the disaster in South Africa
was very marked. The service mem
bers of the house expressed the opin-
ion that it will necessitate sending
fresh troops to the front, while the be-
lief was widely expressed that the
Beers will not fail to take advantage of
Gen. Methuen's prominence to hold
him as a hostage for the safety of Com

A GREAT STRIKE.
aTeamsters and Freight Handlers
Stop Work in Boston-Eight
Thousand Men Involved.

Boston, March 11.-After nearly six
weeks of skirmishing the dreaded la
Dor war between the organized team
:sters, freight and express handlers of
Boston, and the two great railroad
corporations, the New York, New
Haven & Hartford and the New York
Central & Hudson River, the latter To-
-cally known as the Boston & Albany,
broke out Monday. The outlook is that
unless powerful agencies are speed
lily invoked to compel peace, the strug-
gle will have.a far-reaching effect.
The strike, which is sympathetic one,
already involves 5000 men in and
about Boston. Stopping work be-
cause of the discharge of union men
who refused to handle nonunion
moved freight, the various organiza-
lions now on strike made every effort
Monday to extend their sphere of in
fuence of affiliated bodies, while the
corporations theoretically tried to fill
the strikers places and to receive and
dispatch goods offered them. Both
met with some measure of success.
