BASUTOS ARE RISING.
England Will Be Obliged to Raise
Second Army Corps Immediately.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. A dispatch to
Ihe Tribune from London says:
The danger of a Basuto uprising is'
now admitted to be Imminent, and this1
will affect General Buller's plan of j
campaign and may render necessary j
the mobilization of a
second army
corps,
i The Basutos have a large force of
iliotinted warriors armwi with rifles
and highly skilled mounted Infantry,
and they have an Innate passion for
fighting and strong animosity towards
the Dutch.
Certainly, with the Fr-s State at
war with Kngland, it Ik impossible for
the British trixp to police the Basil -
t'.-laml border or take any effective pre
cautionary measures for averting a
dir? catastrophe. The black menace i
is the darkest cloud now settling over
South Africa.

The reason for the hurried strength

BRYAN PLEASED
WITH NEBRASKA
WAS INTERESTED IN GOEBEL
He Receives the Congratulations of
His Pricnis in His Assured Re
3ominatioi Xeit Tear.
CHICAGO, Nor. t A special to the
Times-Herald from Lincoln, Nebraska
say:
At the Bryan house last night the
telephone kept up a constant clamor
with reports from the populist head
quarters down town. The first bulle
tin from the tetegiupb company de
livered while the .family were still at
dinner came from the town of Crete,
normally republican by lot, but which
this year given fusion 78 majority.
"A good omen," said Bryan.
"Don't forget that I spoke In Crete,"
said Chairman Charie A. Tcmme of
the sliver repubitcitn party. After re
turning from Omaha at noon, Bryan
gave up the day to driving, walking
about his farm and chatting mow on
political prospects In other states than
upon the outlook in Nebraska.
The first bulletin which se-med to
arouse Colonel Bryan's enthusiasm
was one from Louisville declaring that
Goebel had carried the city by 2,000.
It was quickly contradicted by later
returns, but the pleasure with which
Bryan hailed the erroneous report
showed how sincere was his Interest
In the regular nominee.
The disappointment caused by the
later unfavorable news from Ken
tucky was to a grat degree offset by
bulletins which reporW ipvat dem
ocratic gains In Ohio and in Massa
chusetts. Chairman McNary of the
state committee In the latter state
wired Colonel Bryan that Paine, dem
ocrat, had carried Boston by 7,500,
while McKinley carried It by 18,000.
That shows where the gold demo
crats have been," said Towne. By 9:30
Colonel Bryan was sufficiently assured
of success In his state to send out
an answer to Innumerable lnqulrl.-s
from papers and politician friends.
By 10:30 o'clock It became apparent
that the funkmluts had carried Ne
braska. Even Llnoln, which time and
again has dealt Bryan the severest
blows, elected three nominees on the
ccunty ticket, and Douglas county, In
cluding Omaha, deserted the repub
licans for the first time In Its history.
Colonel Bryan made no "attempt to
conceal his pleasure.
"It was an election fought on na
tional Issues and the result Is an en
dorsement of our principles," he said to
Senator Blackburn, and to James K,
Jones he wired the news, putting the
Indicated fusion majority at 15,000. The
dispatches were hardly off before later
bulletins led him to raise his estimate
to 20,000.
Governor Poynter, In the executive
mansion, kept the telephone wire hot
with exultant messages, and as the
night wore on, the member of the
state committee flocked to the Bryan
home with congratulations. It was as

TO KEEP RAT9 AWAT.
Device Used on Ship In the Plague
Port.
Russian authorities, alive to the ne
cessity of keeping out the. ptagu;, have
resorted to this way of preventing rats
from boarding ships, which la describ
ed by Consul IWnan of Odesra:
"I saw the other day a rurious device
attached to the mooring rope or cuble
of a steamer which was loading at this
port. The cable was run through a
piece of iron pipe ibut a foot long, and
Welded on the end of the pipe was a
large Hang? or funnel which looked
like the end of a trumpt, with the
wide end facing the ship. The Iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum, to pre
vent it from slipping, and also to pre
vent rats from passing through It.
This novel construction was close to
the ship.
"On Inquiring what purpose this de
vice served, I was Informed that the
Russian authiriiis furnished these ap
pliance, and obliged all ships to use
them whenever they came from a port
Infected with the plague, to prevent
the rats on the ship rom coming on
shore. It Is conceded gfnerully that
the plague has be-n carried and spread
by rats which have left the ships corn
ing from lnf?;?j?d ports, ft is known
that rats make us of the cable to
come ahor, and this Iron pipe with
Its funnel shupil arrangement was
employed to prevent such visits, if p'
slble. Thes devices are attached to
each cable to which the ship Is moored.
In addition to this precaution the mas
ter of the ship Is obliged to take down
his loading stages every night and
erect, them the following morning, to
prevent the rats from coming on shore
In the night."
