Vw' ' JOHNNY BULLS RELIEVED. Hay? Positive Evidence Contradicting Stories ot Disaster. London, Nov. 6.?An immense weight was lilted from the public mind by a brief ollicial dispatch published this morning by which continental stories of a disaster at Ladysmith were proved to be false. Although the dispatch itself relieved anxiety is more timed in another direction as was indicated. General White, instead of sitting tight and acting wholly on the defensive, persists in inak ing sorties and risking another Nicholsons disaster. The movement of the Boers into Cape Colony is beginning to awaken the British fear that they greatly underestimated the forces. Even General Boiler's t * - k i* not so easy as it was anticipated. It is becoming apparent that British calculations, based on the loyalty of the population, i? hope lessly as at sea or there has been a serious leakage of Dutch sympathizers from Natal and Cape Colony. Otherwise there is no accounting for the large forces of burghers. Th s war office is urged to have more troops in readiness for possible demands. The evacuation of Colonso and the reported withdrawal of from Stormberg is still unexplained. Prince Christian Victor, a grandson of Queen Victoria and a captain in the King's ltoyal Rifles, and other officers have left Cape Town for Ladysmith to re place the dead aud wounded. The Boer prisoners have been taken on board the British cruis-1 er, Penelope, They number nine officers and 180 men. KKMARHADI.K RESCUE. Mrs. Michael Cur'ain, Plainfield, 111., makes On- statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs ; she was treated for a month by her family phjsi cian, nut grew worse, lie told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to herdehght found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles,found herself sound and well ; now does, her own housework, and is as well as she ever was.?Free trial bottles of this Croat Di?eoverv at!

A very pretty controversy is I going on just, now between Mr. | Henry Neill, the famous cotton ; exDert of New Orleans, and Mr I.John Hyde, the chief statistician | of the (Government Department of Agriculture. Mr. Neill in easily the best known and most imI portant private cotton expert in the country, and his views may he said to be controlling upon the | English buyers of this staple. He j has been out for Reveral months with a prediction of auother enormous cotton crop, based chielly upon the favorable weath er which, he declarsee, the grow lnir rron ban r?r?rti 'I ho iloto I ?- f ~**v of thih character and the general crop condition* reported by the Government are not nearly as favorable as that given by Mr. I Neill, although the Government I has made no definite estimate of the crop, as Mr. Neill has. A long 1 letter has been published, writ ten by .Mr. Hyde to a firm of cotton merchants here, controverting in detail Mr. Neilfs state ments, chielly those referring to the amount of rainfall in the cot ton belt. To tills .Mr. Neill has replied in a second proclamation. People in the cotton trade are naturally greatly interested in the dispute. If the crop turns out to he a short one there will lie a big rise in prices, while if there is another bumper crop prices will probably recede. Prom the fact tli >t the price of cotton lias risen decidedly already we infer that t - .1 r . I . 1 in.; ^rnii in uj >1 ii in u 111 i ji?? i r.m v leans hi Mr. Hyde's favor. Mr. Ily.In receives support also in the movement of the crop from the plantations to the coast anil interior citie*, it bein^ much below that of last year. On the other Hand. Mr. .Neill and his friends niaintain that an immense quantity of cotton has been picked and that the Southern planters ar<- holding it hack for more 'money.

When it is known that lie {is about to issue a circular, the ! trade in cotton u quieted and rumors as to the probable character I of the circular become thick as snowflakes. If ho predicts a small crop there is an excited rush of prices upwards, and if he predicts a big crop there is a slump. Millions of dollars hang upon his words, and of course something besides mortification is felt when these words prove to be mistakes. Now, while we wish to 6tate most emphatically that we have never heard a syllable spoken against Mr. Neill's integrity and that we believe him to be an ab Bolutely honest man, yet it is ob vious that any such position as he occupies must be very uncomfortable for an honest man to be in. Itcertainly imposes upon him strenuous obligation of reticence and extreme carefulness. Indeed, one would think that Mr. Neill would wish to stop issuing crop estimates or would issue them as rarely as possible and at such late dates in the season that they I would not work mischief TO CURi: A COLD IX ONK DAY Take Laxative IIkoho Quinine Taiii.rth.
