Natal, the British possession, extends to the very border of the Transvaal and is threatened on the west by the Orange Free State. When hostilities wer first looked for, the armies of the Transvaal and Orange Free State were concentrated on the borders near Natal. JCharlestown is the most northerly British town in Natal. Between CJharlestown and Laingsnek is a railroad tunnel 2,213 feet long. Charlestown was formerly the terminus of the -ailway, which now extends to Johannesburg. Near Charlestown are Laingsnek and Majuba HilL scenes of former British reverses. Natal was settled by BoeiBiu 1835, and in 1843 It became a British colony. The train from Charlestown into the Transvaal pases-ear; the graves of General Sir Gktorge OoJley and Colonel Deane, who fell during the British rout on Majuba Hill & 1881 ' London, Oct. 25. So far as the Tid censorship allows it to be known, the situation in South Africa is progressing, though ndt in a manner satisfactory to the British public- In addition to the loss by death, wounds- and capture of nearly 700 men an two battles and skir mishes, there is an uneasy feeling tha't everything' is not as well as the victo ries 6eemed to imply. Keen anxiety as to what has happened ot is happening at Dundee is not allayed, while the cir cumstances of General Yule's retreat nro nnkniown. Moreover, though five days have. paseed since the en gagernenta Dundee rtofega known lof the operations immediately following v ciAnv,in.c j-vf ti'e iRihr . oosition on I.11C j?LVlnw"0 J th hill two. except the reported cop tuirc of a squadron of the Eighteenth Hussars. Military circles here profess to be- ieve that ithere is not the least cause for anxiety regarding1 the satety ' or White's little force. On the other hand the cbarater of the fighting hitherto cbnvinces 1- that the war office did. not overestimate the needs of the oc casion when it decided to send a tun army corps t)o South Africa. Mean while, nothing reaches London from the B'oer eide. REPORTED CAPTURE. Tendon. Oct. 25. Notice posted at the war office says it is presumed that a squadron 'of the Eighteenth Hussars has been taken prisoners oy me ruei. The Central News publishes , a report that these hussiars were captured after the battle of Glenctoe on October They were pursuing tne reaxreaim Boers, and were prooaMy capiurea uy a command 'neiu m imvc. - oners include Lieutenant Colonel mai ler, two captains and five lieutenants. London, Odt. 25. Officials at the war office, when questioned concerning the report that the missing troop of the Eighteenth hussars had returned to .La dy Smith, said that though the ad ,rfo TPTwvrinr the capture of the squadron were unofficial there was no Mayo, announced in the house of 'com mons today that he would resign to morrow as a protest against the war on the Boers. Commander in Chief Wolseley has apparently been convicted of "doctor ing'" official reporlts from the front, and there is strenuous demand for a rever sion to the earlier practice when the reports of General Sir Stewart White British! cornaniander in Natal, were given out textually a stoon as received. The commander-in-chief's summary read in the house of commons yester day spoke of General White having fought a successful action, whereas White's own account puts an entirely different comiviex'on on the situation, an'd reduces the movement to prO:S proportions and shows that 'urtier --, citing intelligence may be oxpecf-a: from 'the same quarter any moment.

Main Street, Asheville North Carolina ooco a o-atipv few Wood's Seeds Ai&Vyvj e 4 -S It is quite evident war in the Natal has only commenced, and the Boers arej bv no means discouraged at the losing of the first two battles, . and many ex , terts are satisfied that General Jou bert la even now dlose to the heels of-' the British and that a decisive action miay be Impending. The main fact is that the British were forced to evacuate the Natal tri angle which the Boers naturally right ly claim as a conspicuous success and wr'hir.Vi tfhev rmav even emohasize by a proclamation annexing northern Natal, is proving an unpalatable pill to the public, whose appetite has been whet ted up by previous successes assumed to be greater than they reaHy were. THREE HUNDRED KILLED. The Boer losses at Elandslaagte give three hundred killed. Their coolness, bravery and good aim can be judged from the fact that out of 17 or 18 offi ith half a battalion' of the Gor- ! don Highlanders four were killed and 13 wounded, wnue luc uan-o among the rank and file was 27 per the less than three hours' fighting.

Atlanta, Oct. 25. The convention of commissioners of agriculture of the southern states today formed an or gj.nizaltion tto be known as "The Cotton States Association of Commissioners of Agriculture." Its object will be to im prove and promote the agricultural in terests in the cotton states. The mem bership will consist of commissioners of "agriculture and assistant commis sioners in their respective states. Com missioner' Stevens, of Georgia, was elected president of the association, Commissioner Hill, of Arkansas, and Commissioner Patterson, of North Car- ,o lina, vice-presidents, Royal Daniel, of Georgia, secretary and R. W. Wright, of 'Georgia, as treasurer.' LjA paper was read by S. L. Patter son, cornimlssioner or JNortn uaronna, on the subject, "Cotton factories an aid to the cotton fields." He showed that in North Carolina there are more facto ries tlmn cotton. ff all the southern states were to emulate the example of the Tar Heel state, the cotton mills of the east would be compelled to close down or pay a higher market price for the cotton, for there would be a de mnnrl greater in the south than the siiTTOlv.

The declared in tention of Charles L. Kurtz, of Ohio, member of the republican national committee, to oppose the re-election of Foraker to the senate, has created a sensation in oolitical circles. It has been supposed all along that Kurtz was helping McLean in the fight for the governorship, but as Kurtz and For aker have made common cause in poli tics against Hanna, Kurtz's present war on FVraker has reduced his power to help McLean. The secret of Kurtz's opposition to Foraker is the fact that he did not assist in the efforts to defeat Harma's election to the senate, and his refusal now to take up the personal grievances of Governor Bushnell.
