WILMINQTON. N. C. Wednesday MomrofQ, Nov. 8. COLOSSAL IGNORANCE OF THE BOERS' STRENGTH. Geaeral Wolieley's Blr Blssder A Com plete Surprise to the British Mili tary Authorities. By Cable to tbe MomlSK Star. Lojtoon, Norember 7. The con fession lasteveniDf of General Wolse ley, the commander-in-chief, that the Boers were more powerful and more numerous than had been anticipated sufficiently explains the present hap pening. and the War Office will hereafter have awkward questions to answer in regard to the apparent co lossal ignorance of the Boer strength which, both in numbers of men and excellence of artillery, is apparently a complete surprise to the British mill tary authorities Mail news from South. Africa shows how inaccurate have been the estimates of the intelligence depart ment and the governmental experts. It is gleaned therefrom that a fair esti mate of tbe Boer forces is as follows: Around Ladysmith, 25.Q00; Iravers m2 Zjlulaad, 4.000: advancing on Burgherdrop, 4.000; Colesburg, 3 000; Kimberley, 7.000; Mafeking, 4.500, and on the northern Transvaal border. 2,000. Exact information about the B.er artillery is lacking, but it is known that General Joubert's detach ment, before it was reinforced, con sisted of sixteen Krupp field pieces of latest patern, and two heavy Creuxot seie guns, which, bat for the oppor tune arrival of the British naval bri gade, would have rendered Ladysmith untenable. Terrible's Cans. In connection with the naval guns, the most interesting and important experiment has been successfully car ried out at Cape Town with a 4 7-inch gun, so ssrviceable at Ladysmith One of the British cruiser Terrible's guns, mounted on a Scott travelling carriage, was fired in the same way as a field sun, with entire success. The Terrible with a number of guns thus mounted, is on her way to Dur ban, and though the guns cannot now reach Ladysmith, they may be of the greatest value in the defence of Pietermaritzburg, which, it seems, will probably have to stand a siege. The arrival of the Terrible with the relief crews for China, and other avail able men, must have placed in the neighborhood of 8,000 more men at the service of the military authorities. The Channel Squadron. Interesting news oomes from the channel squadron at Gibraltar, ahow ine precautions against all eventuali ties almost unknown in European waters in peace time. Oq the way to Gibraltar the fleet spread out four miles apart and a sharp outlook was kept for suspicious crafts. At Gibraltar extra sentries are post ed at night at different parts of the ships, with ten rounds of ball cartrid ges each. The small guns on the upper deck and the fighting tops are kept ready for imcneaiate use, the am munition being on deck; a few men sleep at the euos. the search lights are kept workirtg. all boats are hailed and not allowed to approach without the permission of the officer of the watch. GENERAL MACARTHUR'S ADVANCE ON TARLAC. Wbeatoo's Column Movlor to Effect a Jnactlon With Macrthnr Gen. Lnwtoa's Command. By Cable to the Morning 8tar. Maxila Nov. 7. General Whea ton's orders were to land at or near Sn Fabian, a fUbing village twenty miles north of Dagnpan. The insur gents' forces thereon numbered abmit 300 men, entrenched, whereas, at Da gupan, there are some thousands of in surgents and five miles of strong trenches. The Mounts river has been blocked. General Whea ton is supposed to have landed to day, though communi cation with him is not expected until to-morrow. The weather has been good since he started and he should have been able to take the trenches without great loss of life. From San Fabian General Whea to a can control the roads of escape from Tarlac to the northeast, making a junction with General Lawton. General MacArthur will begin his advance towards Tarlac to-night. General Lawton will resume his ad vance to morrow, though in the face of great difficulties, rains in that dis trict having destroyed all the bridges in the vicinity, including several that the engineers built for the movement General Lawton has been working hard for several days to get rations forward. The Thirty-fifth regiment reinforces him to morrow. A foree of 300 insurgents attacked the Fourth cavalry last night, making three futile charges and losing three men. Tbe Americans lost none. The first raft across the ferry at Cabanatuan was carried away by the swift current. It had sixteen men of the Third cavalry on board with their hones, but only one of them was drowned. THE OPEN DOOR QUESTION. Russian Ambassador Surprised at the Re sewed Arltation in This Country. Br Tetegrapft to toe Moraine 8(r. Washington, November 7. Count Cssini, the Russian ambassador, who is just back from a visit to St. Peters burg and other European capitals, autnonz-d the statement to-night that he had been returned without any special instructions relating to Caiaa, and without any mission to perform in that connection . This statement was due to recent reports that he in tended to make known to the Presi dent and Secretary Hay the desire of the contiental powers of Europe that the United States should indicate what port or sphere of iufluence in China this government desires to occupy. Tbe ambassador also stated that Russia a commercial . port in China, Talien Wan. waa now-open to all na tiona alike, and he expressed surprise at tne renewed: agitation or tne open door question. He bats Russian and American interests in China are the same. Count Casaini says there is no move in Europe toward intervening in tbe South African conflict. During bis audience with the Emperor at Saint Petersburg, Count Casaini assured the Emperor of the continued friendly re latioos between thin country and Rus sia, which be says were never more sat isfactory than they axe to day. t j A Frightful Blaavaer Will often csdm a horrible Burn.

FnsloaUt Maintain- Their Hold la Ne braska Virginia nnd Mississippi Solid for Democracy The Sitn ation la New York. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. NEW TORE. New York; Not. 7 The election in the four counties that make up the city of New York resulted in the elec tion of every Democratic candidate on every county ticket, except Gray, Democratic candidate for register, in Kings, who was beaten because, of bis refusal to put in. an appearance before the Maze, in vestigation committee and answer charges against him. Democratic ma jorities were about normal. Senator Piatt intimated late to-night that Uazet might be seated in the next As sembly, in which the Republicans have 32 majority. The Tammany Democrats openly denounce ex Sena tor Hill, whom they blame for the reverses up the State. The Republi cans in New York county elected only four assemblymen, one of them a member of the Citizens' Union. Toe New York Assembly will stand : Republicans. 91; Democrats, 59; Re publican plurality 31; Republican gain. 14. , Taking all the Assembly districts in tbe State the Republican plurality is 35,800, according to the Tribune's re turns, as compared with Roosevelt s plurality of 17,786 last year. Returns received up to 3 A. M. show the election of ninety Republican as semb'jmen and sixty Democrats. Ithaca, November 7. The city of Ithaca elves the Democratic candidate for county treasurer a pluralitv of 157 and tbe Republican candidate for sheriff. 190. . The standard voting machine was used in tLis city and the result was known seventeen minutes after the polls closed. Rochester, complete, gives Carno han. Republican, 2,353 plurality for mayor. Utioa, November 7. R. W. Sher man, Democrat, is elected mayor of Utica by 87. The balance of the city ticket is Democratic by majorities ranging from 200 to 300.

The boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx, for sheriff, give O'Brien, Re publican. 89,539; Grell. Democrat, 139 129. In Kings county, Brooklyn, Howe. Republican, is elected register over Gray. Democrat, who figured unfavor ably before the Maze, committee. The Republicans concede the rest of the county ticket to the Democrats. TCt.tJtra, Nov. 7.

Twenty-one precincts outside of Omaha ahow a net Fusion' gain of 34. Comparisons are made with a year ago when the Fusion majority was 2,700. There is a very slight falling off in the Tote, of both parties, but the per cent, of Republican loss is the greatest. Lincoln. November 7, 10:45 P. M. It is evident to both parties in to day's fight that Nebraska has repledg ed her allegiance to the Fusion stand ard. While Republicans are not yet willing to admit defeat, early figures noint that way. There has been a steady falling off in the vote of both parties, but while the Fusionists have suffered but little, the Republican loss has been not less than three to a pre cinct If the present ratio is main tained, ex Governor Holcomb and the Fusion 8ate ticket will be elected by not less than 10,000. Fusionists claim much more. OHIO. COLXJXBtrs. November 7. The bul- etins eivine 706 net Republican rain in sixty precincts outside of Cincin nati, Cleveland and Toledo, include the heavy Republican gains at Nash's home in Franalin county, where the Republican gam is over 3,000. This county gave 1 300 Republican plur ality two years ago and up to 9 :30 to- niebt was tbe banner HepuDlican county of the State. McLean likewise reversed a Repub lican majority in Hamilton county where bis plurality waa aurpnung. Tolxdo. November 7. Mayor J ones. at 9 o'clock, concedes bis own defeat. 'If my race has contributed in any way," he said, "to the success of John R. McLean, and a rebake to the in famous Philippine policy of the ad ministration, 1 I eel tnat it nas not been in vain." Coltjkbus, November 7. At 10 P. M. the chairmen of both the Repab lican and Democratic 8tate commit tees were claiming the election of their res pec tire State tickets, and also a majority of the Legislature. There are no Jones legislative candidates. but Samuel AL Jones, mavor of Tole do, is certainly, the closest third that ever entered the Ohio gubernatorial race. The indications are that he has drawn more heavily from the Repub licans in tne cities than from tbe Democrats, with the exception of Co lumbus and some smaller cities, and that the Jones vote will nnt ha an large in the rural districts? There is not the usual percentage of either Re publican and Democratic gains or oeses. as the gains run for the Re publicans in some places and for the Democrats in other sections. Even after the returns are complete from Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo, it may oe aim cult to reach tne result positively to night, owing to the tide in the Jones vote, which runs in streaks and. causes Republican losses in some places and Democratic losses in omer places. At 10 p. M. Judge Nash claimed his election as Governor and Chairman Dick said he was assured the Republi cans bad carried everything; but he umu uu azures ye. to announce. The Associated Press sent to Mr. McLean, at his residence, asking if he claim h his election, and received th . ply that he had no answer yet to make. Chairman Seward, of th Democratic committee, said he waa not prepared to answer the question vet. At 11 o'clock to nifht the StaU Journal claims the election of Judge Nash, Republican, for Governor, by AAA over ov,wu. KENTUCKY. Louis vrmc, November 7.

Lexington, Ky., NoTember7 m one precinct in this city to-night, while the count was in progress, a body of armed men, said to haver come from Republican headquarters, attempted to enforce a fair count, as they claimed. Reaching the precinct, they were met by a number of police and citizens. Firearms were brought into -use and about a hundred shots were-fired. One negro was wounded, not seriously. The attacking party fled, and no ar rests have been made. Lotisvillk, Ky., November 7. At midnight Chairman Long, of the Republican Campaign Committee, claimed that Taylor has carried the State by from 10,000 to 15.000 majority. He said that Taylor has carried the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Eleventh Congressional .: districts, while the Eighth and Tenth are close. The Republicans have made heavy gains in most all of the Democratic strongholds which were expected to give Goebel large majorities. Chair man Long claims tbe Republicans have carried tbe city of Louisville by from 8,000 to 5,000 majority . Louisville. November 7, 10 P. M. Returns from the State are coming in slowly, but each county shows Re publican gains, and to such an extent that Taylor's election by a majority of over 3,000 is indicated. Secretary Hampton, of the Repub lican committee, is claiming Taylor's election by 10,000. Chairman Long and Governor Bradley are confident of Taylor's election and say he has carried the State by a safe plurality, but they decline to give figures. Tne Courier Journal, from its fig ures, savs tbe result is in doubt. Louisville. Ky., NoTember 7. By the combined efforts of the Republi cans and anti Goebelites, Attorney General W. S- Taylor,-Republican, has been elected Governor of Ken lucky bra maj irity variously esti mated from seven to fifteen thousand over Goebel, Democrat. Returns re ceived up to midnight also indicate the ela tion of the entire Republican ticket, while the complexion of the Legislature is in doubt Frankfort, Ky., November 8 A bulletin issued at 1 A.

New York, Not. 7. At the close of the polls in New Jersey at 7 o'clock it was ascertained that the Republicans had carried the State and retained con trol of the Senate and House of As sembly. VIRGINIA. Richmond, November 7. As to the Virginia election, there is nothing to discredit the forecast sent out last night. Returns that have come in so far indicate a small vote, and but little interest, with assured Democratic con trol of the General Assembly by a large msj rity. Richmond, November 7 The indi cations so far, as to Virginia, are that the result is overwhelmingly Democratic. In the most hotly con tested Senatorial district, however, that made up of Isle Wight. South ampton and Nansemond the inde pendent candidate is elected. Tbe vote was generally light. MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, November 7. The elec tion passedyoff very quietly through out the State.

ThA amrrastion of Sir Redvers Bul- a in him HianutAh to the War Office on Sunday, that the name of General French had been given by mistake for that of Colonel Brocklehurst in ad vices to him by pieoa post from Lar ban, is now explained by a dispatch fmm Pit .rmaritihiirc which savs tbat General French has left Durban f..r Cape Colony. Evidently General Buller was aware of this. TWa Thrill Telttaranh nublishes the following dispatch from Pietermaritz burg, dated Saturday evening: "Since their occupation of Colenso, the Boers have attempted no further advance south.

The ideal car, from the railway stand point, is one of the convertible type, which can be used at all seasons of the year and for every service.. It must be arranged in such a manner as to be agreeable alike to women and to men who smoke. For long distance runs transverse seats are desirable, bnt these are nt the expense of standing room. For short runs, longitudinal seats are best, in which case the standing room is at the maximum. As it is the "standing load" that pays, this is a most desirable feature. The problem is still further complicat ed by other demands or needs of the pub lic, which, in addition to the points not ed, wants a car suited to the weather. In winter it must be closed and warm and in summer entirely open. But. when open, it must admit of being easily and quickly closed, and when closed, as quick-' ly and easily opened. The car will ' not be satisfactory unless it can readily con form to the requirements, of a climate fickle at all seasons of the year. An incredible number of convertible cars have been built in the effort to ob tain a design which will combine all these features. They are to be found tn the car barns of nearly every large rail way company. Until recently none had reached, or even approached, the ideal.
