MAD MULIAH ATTACKS A BRIT.
lSH FORCE IN THICK BUSH
OF SOMALILf.ND.

British Column Is Composed Entirely
of Natives Under White Officers and
the Attacking Forces Are Three
Times Compelled to Retire-Former
Loses TWO Officers and Fifty Men
Killed and Many Wounded.
London, Oct 2O.-The foreign Office
has issued an undated dispatch from
Colonel Cobbs, commanding one OF the
columns of British forces operating
against the Mad Mullah in Somaliland.
The dispatch was forwarded through
the British vice consul at Berbera,
Somaliland. The British forces en-
gagged were composed entirely of ma
tive troops and levies. Colonel Cobbs
says:
my force reached Erego this morn
ing. When about one days march
north of Mudug it was attacked in the
thick bush. Two advances were made,
and the enemy was beaten back IN
the morning. Their losses were
heavy and we captured 100 rifles. Our
force then proceeded to collect an
imals for transportation purposes and
to join the detachment at the stockade
camp. In the afternoon reconnais-
sance was made and, after sharp
fighting, the enemy were again driven
off.
II deeply regret to report the follow
ing casualties:
Colonel Phillips and Captain An
gus and fifty men killed and about one
hundred men wounded. The latter in.
clude Captain Howard and Lieutenant
Everett, but both are doing we'll. There
were severe losses among the trans
| port and riding camels. The force will
reach the stockade camp tomorrow and
will advance to attack the enemy
The vice consul also telegraphs the
substance of a later dispatch from
Colonel Swayne, who says that as a
result of the fighting at Erego Oct. 6.
which was very severe, the Somali
levies are considerably shaken. The
Mullah who is said to be in communi-
cation with Kali and Inger, in the
direction of the Webbe river, is bring
ing up reinforcements from all sides.
Colonel Swayne is much hampered
owing to the necessity of transporting
the wounded and water. He is retiring
on. Bohotle. He asks that 900 further
reliable troops be despatched from
Berbera forthwith.

St. Paul, Oct. 22.-The cross exam
ination of James J. Hill by the govern
ment's attorneys in the action of the
United States against the Northern
Securities company and others con-
cluded during the day.
Mr.. Hill repeated and substantiated
with many figures his assertion that
the acquisition of the Burlington road
was a necessity, not only to the Great
Northern system, but to the develop
ment of the Northwest. He reiterated
and strengthened his declaration that
this step meant lower rates over the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
and showed that these rates were al
ready lower than on any of the richest
railways serving thickly populated re-
gions in the East. More than once he
turned the questions of counsel into
questions to counsel, and retorted
upon them with the neglect of the gov
ernment properly to enforce the stat
utes for the regulation of interstate
traffic

Peculiar Political Condition.

In the supreme court another cleo
tion case has been argued and SUBJ
mitted. The case involves the right
of the commissioners of Burlcigh coun-
ty to redistrict the city Of Bismarck
for election precincts. The law pro-
vides that election precincts in cities
shall conform to the wards and that
the senior aldermen act as inspectors.
In the city of Bismarck there is an I'M
usual condition, in that the city lies
In two county commissioner districts,
and three of the wards are in two
commissioner districts. Under these
circumstances the county com eission-
ers redistricted the city along lines
not conforming to the city wards, but
conforming to the Commissioner dis
tricts, thus permitting vote to be cast
for commissioner. where otherwise
some confusion would result. In the
redistricting the famous Fourth ward
was cut into three parts and attached
to other wards for voting purposes.

a terrible spectacle as was presented
