Oct. 25. In tbe House of Cmnons today, on motion to proceed v i the second reading of the con ?,;,an'd bill, .Mr. Dalziel "(Liberal) I Secretary Chamberlain was, re ti :i-,;:le for the war. Rightly or v.:,a'ly, Kruger believed that Cecil !;.., u-s and Chamberlain were praoti i.ii'.y uiie and the same. He regretted the government had not aecept proposition for a joint coiuinls v and that the good offices of Jh-r'aieyer (the Afrikander leader) had bct-u called in. Finally he refer i I u Chamberlain's refusal to re live Montagu White as the accred ;u i representative of the Transvaal c .vcinment. Mr. Chamberlain said there was not t! aJow or shade of truth in this la; imputation. If White had asked a a interview -he (Chamberlain -v.unld have seen him, but he had not .ai- any request for an interview.

MONEY IN THE MAILS. Postofflce Business Coming to the Point Where It Will Pay. "Washington. Oct. 25. The 'Postoffice Department is always run at a loss, but the people of this country have never complained of the annual de ficit in the postoffice budget so long as the mails are frequent and sure. This year, however. Postmaster Gen eral Smith .hopes to Im? able to an nounce in his annual report that the business of 'his department has in creased so tremendously during the present year that the receipts about equal the expenditures, and that for the first 'time in the history of this country the great Postoffice Depart ment will 1h on a self-sustaining basis. The appropriation for the pos tal service this year amounted to about $103,000,000 in round numbers. It was expected at the beginning of .the fiscal year that the deficit this year would be very small the small est on record, in fact ami the amount was placed at about four millions. Itut the receipts from the postoffiees have been gaining so steadily all year, and such excellent business methods have been shown in con ducting the affairs of the office, that the outlook is at present that there will be no deficit at all. . In 1897 the deficit of the service ranged be ween twelve and thirteen millons. Both Postmasters General Gary and Smith have turned over the business man agement of the department to First Assistant Postmaster General Hath. He conducted the service as he would a great business . enterprise. Postal facilities were increased wherever there was a demand, and expenditures were lopped off wherever lie saw the people were not getting an adequate return for the money invested. Post offices and star .routes that benefited only one or two persons were discon tinued, but everywhere rural free de livery was esablished where the needs of the people justified it. By a rigid business system, Mr. Heath has in creased the receipts and reduced need less exienditures. until. last year the deficit was only about seven millions. He figured that if business kept up to the volume of that time his deficit would be about only four millions. But the business of this country has received such an unprecedented im petus that the postal receipts have swelled beyond all expectations, and, accordingly. It is the expectation of the department that for 'the lirst time in the coutnry's history the depart ment is on a self-sustaining basirf.

True bills of indictment charging Solomon and Jimtom Griffin with the murder of Deputy Sheriff Thacker in Clav coun ty, and against Eddy and Floyd Chad well for complicity in the crime, were returned by the grand jury here (to day. Judge Eversole has not yet ar rived, and it is not believed he will come until the governor promises mil itary protection. The grand jury has ten killings and assassinations to in vestigate, besides the killing of Tom Baker, the murderer of whom is not likely to be found. The Griffins and Philpots are on hand in full force, all heavily armed. So far the factions have been friend ly with each other, .but the least thing is likely to start a bloody row. KURTZ AGAINST . FORAKER. Sensation in Ohio Politics on Account of an Announcement. Columbus, O., Oct. 25. The declared aker have matle common cause in politics against Hanna, Kurtz's pres ent war on Foraker has reduced his power to help McLean. The secret of Kurtz's opposition to Forager is the fact' that he did not assist in ef forts , to defeat 'Hanna's , election to the 'Senate and his refusal now to take up the personal grievances of Governor Bushnell.

SIZE OF THE BOER ARMY The Claim Is Made That 100,000 Men Are Under Arms English Estimates Cut These Figures In Two Cronje Adrancing on Kimberley Attack Soon to Be MadeSquadron of Hus sars Supposed to Re Prisoners. London, Oct. 25. A dispatch to the Telegram, dated JJeAar, October 23d, says the Transvaal is issuing a proc lamation declaring the district north ward of Vaal River, including Bech uanaland, to be 'Boer territory. The Orange Free State is taking similar action regarding Griqualand and the area between Vaal River and the Orange River. General Conje, who has been twice repulsed at Mafeking, is said to be advancing on Kimberley, commanding men and stores and munitions. He has left a small command investing Ma feking. Free State Boers are mov ing westward for the purpose of joining Oronje in his attack on Kim berley. A dispatch rider who reached Orange River Monday from Kimberley, said the Boers were .three" miles from Kimberley, but were afraid to attack the itown. They were awaiting Cronje. There are no 'Boers south of Belmont, which' is twenty miles north of Orange River. Defeats in Natal, are taking all the fight from the Boers. They will not attack .the British, though they niay defend a few .positions. It is believ ed here that -the heaviest fighting is over, except for a battle near Pre toria. From the foregoing dispatch it is apparent that the district of the Free State lays claim to is the diamond district, including Kimberley. The correspond enit of the Times, re f erring to the slaughter at Elands- laagte last Saturday, -says: "Gleneoe was as sanguinary an en gagenient as this in every respect, but 'though the" price was 'high the defeat was absolutely crushing. CAUSE FOR ANXIETY. English Public Has Fears That All Is Not Well at the Front. London, Oct. 25. So far as the ricrid censorship allows it to be known, the situation in South Africa is progress ing, though not in a manner satisfac tory to the British public. In addi tion to the loss by death, wounds and capture, of nearly 700 men in two battles and a skirmish, there is an un easy feeling that everything is not as wen as tne victorres seemed to imply. Keen anxiety as to what happened or is happening at Dundee is not allayed, while the circumstances of Yule's re treat are also unknown. Moreover, though five days have passed since the engagement at Dundee, nothing is known of the operations immediately following the storming of .the Boer position on the hilltop eMceot the ire- ported capture of a squadron of the uignteentn Hussars. Military circles here nrofess tn he- lieve that there is not the least cause for anxiety regarding, the safety of White's little force, On the other hand, the character' of the ficrhtin"- hitherto convinces them that the war office did not overestimate the needs of the oceasion when it decided to send a full army corps to South Af rica. Meanwhile nothing reaches London from the Boer side. A Walk-over Not Expected. London, Oct. 25. William C Mac Artney, secretary to the admiralty, in a speech at Stockton today, warn ed the public to prepare 'to see a se vere struggle in South Africa within the next few weeks. They must not be induced by reports of successful fights to believe that the British forces at -present in South Africa are able to overcome the combined hostile forces before the arrival of an army corps. On the other hand, the public should: not be depressed on learning that the British generals were on the defensive. The highest military authorities at home strongly approved of General's White's and Yule's move ments. Still Hoping for a Settlement. London, Oct. 25. A dispatch to Dal ziel's News Agency from Pretoria says that, in an interview with a high Transtaal administrative official who is a most progressive Liberal, he declared that he believed the possibil ity of amicable settlement was still not hopeless. He said: "Boer successes in preliminary en gagements have been unimportant, and the people of South Africa should not let the renin ining last chance go." He said in conclusion that he be lieved that the Boers had been misled as to the real issue. Boers Under Arms. - Brussels, Oct.. 25. The agency of the Transvaal government has issued a statement regarding the. number of Boers. in the. field. It says there are now 100,000 men un'der arms. This force is made up of 35,000 regulars, 35,000 Orange iFree State -troops, 3,000 Xatial Boers, 8,000 Bechuanland Boers, 4,000 Germans, 0,000, Dutch and Bel gians, 2,000 Irish, GOO Americans and about 0,000 miscellaneous troops. An English Estimate. Washington, Oct. 25. The Secretary of War has received from General Summer military attache at London, complete report, showing strength of British and 'Boer forces now in South Africa and .to be sent there. Brit ish have in South Africa 12,000 reg ulars and 14,000 volunteers and 10, 000 re-enforcements, already ordered, to go. This total -will be swelled, according to present expectations, to 88,288. Boers' entire strength, accord ing to General Joubenfs estimate is 50,8G4, chiefly volunteers. Squadron of Hussars Captured. London, Oct. 25. A notice posted at the war office says it is presumed that a squadron of the Eighteenith Hussars have been taken prisoners by the Boers. The 'Central News publishes a re port that these Hussars were cap tured after 'the 'battle of Glencoe, October 20th. They were pursuing retreating 'Boers and were probably captured by a command held in re serve. The prisoners include Lieutenant-Colonel Mailer, two captains and five lieutenants. London. Oct. 25. The Telegraph's Ladysmith correspondent -says the missing troop of the Eighteenth Hus sars have arrived there. He says that General Yule, when at Glencoe, sent them to intercept the Boers who were retreating from Elandslaate. They -fought .their way acros-s the Biggarsberg, the Boers pursuing them. London, Oct. 25. Officials at the war office, when questioned concern ing the report that the missing troop of Eighteenth Hussars had returned to Ladysmith, said that ithough their advices reporting the capture of the squadron were unofficial, there is no reason to doubt their 'antheaiticLty. The squadron probably numbered eighty. General Symons Doing Well. Cape Town, Oct. 25. The bullet has been extracted from General Symons br.-.iy and he is doing well. No Interference Expected. Washingon, Oct. 25. Government " officials put little credence in reports that European powers are arranging for a joint offer, of mediation between Great Britain and , the Transvaal. There is no probability that the' Unit ed States will be drawn , into any movement of . this character. The policy of the government is to keep hands off, and there is no reason -to believe that heavy pressure from abroad will change that policy. STUDENTS STILL, ARRIVING. Societies Organized at tbe Baptist Fe male University. President Blasingame, of the Baptist Female University, writes the Biblical Recorder: "Since the opening several new stu dents have entered, and letters brins us tidings of others to enter this week.

"In spite of the confusion necessary to the beginning of a large institution. the college work has been thoroughly organized and is going on as smoothly as if there were years of experience behind us. "Two literary clubs have been organ ized, under the guidance of Mrs. II. E. Stone, the gifted and versatile teacher of English.
