Nkw Yoiuc, Oct. 24. A dispatch to
tlio WorliT from London Hays: The
ministers mid their supporters are now
realizing that they plunged into the war
with reckless liaste, nnd the queen's
message, in which she speaks of "dearly
bought victories" anil "dreadful loss of
life" indicate with a plainness which Bhe
has novur hoforo permitted herself to in-
dulge in, under like circumstances, her
disapproval of the war.
The British forces in Natal have al
ready lost in killed or wounded nearly
1)00 men in threo days' flehtitiir. The
Gordon Highlanders lost only one ofllcer
and live men killed in their famous at.
tuck on Dargai Heights in the Afrldi
campaign, while at Eland's Laagto they
had four ollicurs killed and nine wound
od, twenty men killed and thirty-three
wounded.
Prolongation of the warbpyond British
1'xpictation is now regarded as certain.
Lunuok, Oct. 24. Tho war office here
has this morning been attempting to
explain the summary of the situation in
Nutul, furnished by Field Marshal Lord
Wolsoloy to the house of commons yes
terday. His statement is now said to
have created unnecessary alarm, and it
ia assorted that what the official note
called General Yule's retirement would
be- more accurately described as "a
change of position for tactical reasons,"
and that tho alarm for the safety of the
wounded is not justified.
In the absence of authentic news, there
are a number of contradictory rumors
ufloat, but tho most reasonable interpre
tation of tho various reports seems to in
dicato that there was some artillery
practice at Glencoe Saturday and
Sunday, but no fighting at close quarters.
There is no denying, however, that great
mispense and anxiety exists, which has
been increased by the report in circula
tion purporting to emanate from official
quarters to tho effect that the Boers have
wcured tho services of 13,000 natives.
News baa at length been received direct
from Colonel Baden-Powell, dated
Mafeking, October 15. It confirms the
utatement that in tho armoied train
fight the British had two men killed and
fifteen wounded, including Lieutenant
Lord Charles Bentinck, iu tho Ninth
lancers, slightly wounded.
Tho latest advices from Kimborley
under date of Octobor 21 , euld tho Boers'
attack was still pending, and that large
Boer forces iu tho . neighborhood had
destroyed big sections of the railroad line
uortU aud south of the town.

ceased, and it is doubtful if a gillnetler,
trapman, seiner, cold-storage man or
canneryraan has paid expenses during
the fall season. The recent storms have
injured nearly all the traps iu Baker's
bay, and they are being taken up for the
Reason. Gillnetters are catching only
dogfish, but they find a ready Bale at
five cents each. It was but a few dayB
ago tiiat the most unpleasant thing
which could be said of a cannen man
was that he packed dogfish, but now
they are put up in quantities for Bale in
the South. The up-river seines are
reported to be doing nothing, and one
haul at Miller's Bands Saturday netted
only three fish. The fall season is now
practically at an end, and was a dismal
failure.
OUR DUTY TO
HELP ENGLAND
Ex-Minister to Russia Breckinridge
Opines That It Is in Event Rus
sia or France Interferes in the
Matter.
Nkw Youk, Oct. 24 A special to the
Herald from Washington says : Clifton
R. Breckiuridge, United States minister
to Russia during the second Cleveland
administration, in an interview states
that in case any nation or combination
of natious should attempt to embarrass
England in the present war in South
Africa, it would be the imperative duty
of tho United States to take the part of
Great Britain and sustain her with our
whole moral and material strength. He
said :
"Great Britain's action in South Africa
is in lino with the duty and development
of the Anglo-Saxon race. In her present
struggle, she deserves the unanimous
support of tho American people. In case
other European nations should, through
international jealousies, attempt to
rotard her in tho clear and simple duty
she iB performing at this time, tho con
duct of the United States should be
determined by considerations mightier
than mero political expediency or
political precedence.
"Wo should bo enjoined by every
sentiment of patriotism and every lie of
racial kinship to stand shoulder to
shoulder with our brethern across the
sea."
Appointment of Kx-Governor Lord.
Washington, Oct. 23, The appoint
ment of ex-Governor Lord, as minister
to tho Argentine Republic, is looked
upon with general favor In Washington,
and much gratification has been ex
pressed by those who are acquainted
with tho new mlnistor. Ho will take
his new office in about two weeks, as
tho resignation of Mr. Buchanan expires
in about that time. Tho appointment
would hove been made at an earlier date,
but the retiring minister hesitated iu
order to make sure of his new position
before surrendering his office in Argen
tina. , Governor Lord's new poeition
will pay him $7500 a year, whereas had
he been appointed to Persia last winter
he would have received but 45000.

J. Bryan arrived iu Lincoln early this
evening, went to his homo for a three
hours' rest, aud started tonight for Polk
county, where he begins tivo weeks'
speech-making in Nebraska tomorrow,
at Stromburg. He said his health is
excellent, and he a confident of being
able to conclude hie campaign as
scheduled. Mr. Bryan said his long
tour in Nebraska lias no special signifi
cance. He had, in years past, neglected
his home state, and he is simply redeem
ing promises of speeches made long ago.
He said he is gratified at the receptions
he received aud the sentiment of the
people in the states recently visited.
There is more Catarrh in tins section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few. years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science lias proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

MAY SAVE THE
TRANSVAAL
France and Russia Will Not Permit
its Annexation to England.
New York, Oct. 4. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Berlin says: TelegramB
from Brussels announce that in the
Transvaal legation circles it is stated
that France and Russia will not permit
the annexation of the Transvaal and
Orange Free Slate to England.
New York, Oct. 24. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London save: The
sailing of the channel squadron today
for Gibraltar is now regarded by the
keenest observers as an indication that
some unexpected attack upon British
interests is possible. The magnitude of
the preparations for war, which are out
of all proportion to the requirements of
the military situation, can only be ade
quately explained on the theory that the
government suspected that soine great
power would be tempted to seizo the
opportunity for striking a sudden blow
or carrying out a deeply cherished
policy.
