BRITISH EVACUATE-
COLENSO
Joubcrt's Force Opens Fire on General
White's Camp, and a Terrible,
Artillery Duel Is in Progress.
Lo.vijok, Nov. 4. The, war office bos
iomied the following announcement:
"The coloiiiul of lice line received in
formatinn to tlio I'lFect thut the lirUish
truops have withdrawn from Colenso and
iiuvu concentrated further south, but we
have no news of any engagement in
that neighborhood."
Tiio evncuiition of Colensa ie un
doubtedly a most serious matter for the
British in Natal, an it not only testifies
to tho complete investment of Lndyemith
by tho Itoers, hut makes the relief of
General Sir George Stewart White an
extremely diilicult ope-ntioti. Colenso
is tlio poiut whero the railway from
l.adymnith croeses the Tugela river,
which is now in flood.
Tho seriousness of tlio evacuation,
however, Pee in the fact that Command.
ant-Gencal .Toubert, while completely
in vostiug Sir George White at Ladysniith
can seise this Tugela bridge, and, if he
lias suQicient troops, can delncb a force
and send it southward on rietertnaritz
burg, and, in any cbbo, by destioying
the bridge and railway, can prevent any
relief expedition reaching Sir Georce
Wbite for some time.
Military men optimistically predict
that General Joubert will withdraw from
Natal immediately Sir ItedverB Buller's
force enters the Orange Free State, but
tho later cannot be far ou his way, for
at least three or four weeks, and even
thon General Joubert may not decide to
iutorceptt!ie British on the Free State's
ojK!n veldt, whlcji would Bint the
itritisb admirably, but ho may wait
nutil tho last moment, and then proceed
by train back to Pretoria and take up
atrou defensive positions ou the range
of bills lying in front of Johannesburg
and Pretoria. Thus General Joubert
might remain in Natal several weeks
longer 'endeavoring to force Sir George
White into capitulation, the destruction
of the Tugela river bridge helping him
in cutting oil' British relief.
Moreover, another Boer force is re
ported to have marched through Zulu
land in tho d'recliou of Durban and al
ready to have reached tho Natal frontier.
Thus, it will be seen tho position in
Natal, taking into consideration a
posuibleupi'iBingof the disaffected Dutch,
is much disquieting, and, in fact, may
ba described as critical. British rein
forcements in any event cannot reach
Durban before tlio end of next week.
MINIS GETS
FIVE YEARS
Also Required to Pay a Fioe of One
Thousand Dollars.
PtiNULKTON, Or., Nov. 4. Judge Low
ell this morning passed sentenco upon

alaugbter iu the killing of J. Henry
Miller on the night of August 23, 1899,
in Millers's saloon. The defense hud
woved.tlie court for a new trial, and for
a uetling aside of the verdict, setting up
the finding of new evidence, iind the
fact that the jury had merely com
promised in reaching a verdict and in
timating that the jury, histuud of con
sidering the rlgliU of tliedefendenf, had
been actuated by. motives of economy in
saving the couqty further expo-ise,
which would be incurred In caeo of a
disagreement. This motion, Judco
Lowell denied.
Tune for passing sr-ntence having been
woived by the defendant, Judge Lowell
pronounced the judgment of the court,

Freight Cars Arc Too Few.
Pi:xdletov, Nov. 4. Shippers are con
stantly calling lor cars, rind they are
nowadays being denied them, as much
to the regret of the railroad olb'oii'la ae
to the inconvenience of the shippers.
Wool industries, lumber mil's, livestock
interests and all classes of activities in
this Inland Euipiio are calling for cars,
and the demand appears .to be far in ex

DICK'S STATEMENT
Predicts a Plurality of Xot Less Than
Fifty Thousand for Judge Xash.
Co', mines, O., Nov. 4. Chairman
Dick, of thiKepoblican state committee,
tonight pave outthe following statement,
forecasting the result of the election in
Ohio:
" The situation is entirely satisfactory
from a Republican standpoint. The larg
est vote ever polled in a state campaign
will be cast, approximating 950,000. Con
ceding Mr. Jones from 75,000 to 100.000
votes, Judge Nash's purality will not be
less than 50,000 in the stale. The legisla
ture will be Republican in both
branches."
Chairman Seward, of ihe Democratic
committee, lius so far deemed to make
aiiv statement.
Democrats Ignore Silver.
Chicago, Nov. 4. Tne Chronicle, will
say :
"The first number of tho Democratic
National Bulletin, the weekly publica
tion of the Democratic national com
mittee, will appear today, under the
auspices of its new editor, Sam B. Cook.
It will be chiefly remarkable for its
failure to discuss the silver question,
except in one or two unimportant para
graphs, which were inserted to justify
columns.
"Theurticles which it will contain will
deal altogether with trusts and imperial
iBai,aud it IB understood to be Mr. Cook's
policy to limit the discussion of public
questions in the Bulletin to these two
ieeues uud matter affecting the national
administration, so long as he peifonus
the duties of editor.
"The significant thing about the omis
sion of silver articles from the Bulletin
is that Mr. Cook is supposed to be acting
under orders from the chiefs of the na
tional committee. He said yesterday,
in speaking of his work as editor: 'I
will endeavor, in preparing mutter for
publication iu the Bulletin, to represent
faithfully the ideas of a majority of the
members of the national committee. The
object of the Bulletin will be to dissemin
ate ideas on current questions that are
likely to be features of the next national
campaign.' "
