A Message Received- From the Town by Pigeon Post Bombardment at Long Eange Continues Daily. v. British Eeinforcements Moving To- wardtJea. White's Position. THE QUEEN EXPRESSES CONFI DENCE IN WHITE TROOPSHIPS OVERDUE AT CAPETOWN BO ERS MADE NO HEADWAY AT MAFEKING. London, Saturday, Nov. 11. Beyond ara (official despatch from General) Bul ler to Secretary of War Lansdow.ne from Capetown, dated yesterdtay, in which Buller states he received by pigeon poelt a mesteage from Lady Smith starting that bombardment of that place at long range continues dai'ly, and that : " ""7."" iCVY uc is uii taiiiure aosence or news ircm any center of operations in Scoith Africa. The pigeon despatch bore no date, and it Was equally unknown where It was received. It is presumed the despatch was sent on November 7. As one pa per bamiterimgly says: "The pigeon ar rived somewhere, possibly bearing news, pkjssibly only carrying a mes sage, which hiais been communicaed to the world."' It is obvious that the pigeon lief t Lady Smith November 7, and there is no mystification in the mat ter that Itlhe Boers' chances of strik ing an effective blow are rapidly de creasing1, whlLle General Whateis dai ay slbrenghening his position with the prospect of speedy reinforcements from incoming transports. London, Nov. 10. The British war office received from General BuIHer th following: "Capetown, Thursday Evening, Nov. 9. Have received by pigeon post from White today itlhe foDo-wing: "Bombard ment at lcng rang-e by heavy guns con tinues daily. A few casualties 'are oc curring, but no serious .harm is being done. ' The Boens sent in today a num ber of refugees from the Transvaal un der a flag of truce. A flag of truce from Lady Smith meV them ou'tside the pick ets. When he party separated tho Boer guns fired before 'it reached our , pickets Major Gale, of the royal en- gineers, was woundedtoday while send ing1 a message. The entrenchments are daily growing Stronger and the sup ply of provisions is ample." " QUEEN'S CONFIDENCE. The feeling of. relief inspired by re cent good tiidings is nevertheless tinged by a certain anxiety lest General White should agiain make some fatal miscalcu lation involving1 a. repetition of the Nicholson Nek disaster.. Her majesty does not share 'this anxiety, and appar-i. enly is sanguine of Ms ability to pull througih! successfully. It lis asserted that she has written to Lady White ex pressing a sympathy with her husband in the trials and. difficulties he is now experiencing1 and assuring Lady White pf her own undiminished confidence in his generalship. The purport of this leUter has been Cabled to General Whlite by the Marquis of Landsdowne REINFORCEMENTS .

Another message announces the ar rival at Estcourt and!

Wlith the anrival alt Capetown of the British transports Roslyn, Castle and Moor, to be foljlowed by a continuous succession of troopladen ships, the real campaign in South Africa may be sfid to commence and the fact that the first named sMp is oTdered to proceed' to Durban, Natal forthwith is said to In dicate tihe leas modification in the plan of advance.

London, November 10. Ambassador Choalte, in a speech at the Sir Walter Scott club, Edinburg, tonight declared that Salisbury's generous reference -.o the United States ins bis speech last night met with a grealt and hearty re sponse in America. He added: "The ironclad friendship that now prevails between the ftwto nationls means oeace. not merely between your counftry and mine, but aimong all nations on earth." HOME RULE IMPRACTICABLE. London, Nov. 11. Secretary of State for Indd'a Hamilton, in a speech at Ac ton last night, said 'that although so far as the bulk of the opposition wtas con cerned, 'the voice of factions hadbeen hushed. The squeak of treason had been heard in the house Of commons, but he was glad to have heard it be cause it brouglht home to all reason able radlicals what was the true mean ing of home rule with an irreconcila ble rebel like Davitt. Home rule, he said, Wad disappeared from the program of any reasonable and practical political party. He de clared that wihen the war was over the government would see that there was no possibility of a repetition of the presenlt condition of things. CABINET DISCUSSES MONEY STRINGENCY. Banks Will b) Able to Take Care of Themselves. Washington, Nov. 10. The awoney stringency in New York was discussed in the cabinet today. There was a gen eral agreement that the present state of the money market does melt justify any further special measures on thti part of the government. The 'impres sion is strong in official circles that the bainiks aire at present able to take care of themselves, and the crop movement season will be tided over without more serious embarrassment than has already been experteiiced . The cabinet, contrary to the under standing that existed yesterday, did not take up the civil government of Cuba at the meeting 'today. General Ludlow, the military governor of Ha vana, is ntow at his country residence on Long Island. The Laffan correspondent has asur ances that the civil governor f the is land wiill be installed probably as ear ly as December first. General Wood appears to staJntd the best chances of selection. MILITARY CONTROL MUST BE MAINTAINED. Secretary Root's Report on Our Hew Possessions. Washtogfton, Nov. 10. 'Root's ainnnu a,l report, now preparing, will point out the necessity of maiifntaining military control of the Philippines and Porto Rico until civil governments have been firmly established and will explain thr: work to. be done by the military in establishing civil officers and maintain ing order during the elections to b? (held! in miumicsipal cities. Attention is called to the establish ment of 'a civil government and the election of mayors in. different parts of the Philippines. Whether Secretairy Root will' make any recommendations for the increase of the airany has not been determined ,and fit. is likely he will riot discuss this matter at all Tut refrain from any re commendations until! congress meets amd then present his views 'to toe mil it&iry committees of congress. MililCary control of Cuba will be fullv discussed with particuillair reference to the proposed! eblishmea of civil government. He will endorse he re- ootrnmend'-Jtlons of the differtn chiefs r.f bureaus for the improvement of their branches1 of service, but the military needs of the Phtlippines h-as intot been determined upon, because of the ab sence of ' General Otis' report,, upon which Secretary Root is depending or aniormaxioa w ymxvxvs reywri. ft BIG RALLY AT THE jjRT HOUSE REPUBLICANS CELEBRATE THE VICTORIES OF LAST TUESDAY. Goebelism in Kentucky and the Sim mons' Law- Mr. Pearson TeMi How Zebulon B. Vance Tent Teaa-a Ago Saved the State From Such a Law The Amend ment Scored. The tepublicaris celebrated the re sult, of the recent elections last night with a big" gathering at the court tiouse, Many? democrats were also presents Owing; doubtless to the inter est in the expected discussions of state ssues in the coming campaign:. The meeting may to fact perhaps be consid ered as the opening one of the local campaign against the disfranchising amendment amid Simmons election law. While many able speakers were pres ent and the interest in the meeting ex treme, there was1 disappointment be- cause of the absence of Senator Pritch ard and Colonel Lusk. It is presumed that the senator was called back to Washington from Richmiond, as he did not arrive in. the city yesterday. Co lonel Lusk was too unwell to attend the meeting. Throughout the evening the court room was crowded and a spirit of (lively enhusiasm ruled the big assemblage. Senator J. A. Franks acted as chair man of tfhe meeting and stated its ob ject. "I am' glad," he said, "to know that the people of North Ca.ro- ina have waked up as the peoplle ot Kentucky did." Hon;. Richmond Pearson was intro duced. -He was wildly cheered as he took the ptratforrA. "I think every American citizen," he said, "has reas on to be pitted that the mist htas lifted, so that we can see cleiarly the limes on wiiich. the two great parties will confront each other next year. We have rea-sn ft rejoice in the results of the past- few days." Mr. Pearson enumerated the majorities of the dif ferent states in, which the republicans had won and called attention to the gains of the party as an, evidence of popular endorsement of republican pol icies . Mr. Pearson referred to the Ken tucky ejection law and eiaid that both it and its author had been defeated by the demiocrats, republicans and pop ulists who are lovers of good govern ment. He declared his belief that a majority of the democratic party in this state are opposed to the Simmons election law. which, he said, is more infamious than the Goebel law. '"When the commonest man in this county thinks a wrong has been perpe traed on him, he is just as quick io rise aigiainst the wronier as is the ablest constitutional lawyer. "Zebulon B. Vance saved your rights ten yeans ago fromthe same destruc tion as you are threatened wlith now. In the legislature of 1889, the democrat ic oartv. which had already been in power fifteen or twenty years, at tempted to pass the identical suffrage legislation that was introduced in the last legislature. Cb".onel Lusk moved ti add this amendment to this election bill before that legislature: "Provided, that upon the voter dis claiming his inability to read the label on the box, or the name on the ballot, aind that he desires to vote for a person named on the baKlot, it shall, be the du ty of the judges of election, upon, the voter offering his ballot, to receive the same fend deposit it tin the proper box, according to the wish of the voter. The democrats voted this K down The democratic party in the s nite voted unanimously to fasten the ident ical clause that is now in the ejection law and the house yoted by a ''major - Sty of two to one to adopt it, providing that a vote is lost if it is not put in (ConlMnueJ on Fourth Page.)
