THE SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA. Chief Interest Centered on Arrival in Africa of Rein? forcements. London, Nov. 14, 4.50 a. m -The paucity of news from the front still leaves the chief interest centered in the arrival of the reinforcements. Estcourt dispatches ssy that helio graph communication has been estab? lished with Ladysmith, but so far no Bews has been received, the laiest date being Nov 6, which shows that the occupants of Ladysmith had no news of tbe out outside world since Gen Freuch reached Pietermaritz burg, and that they were puzz;ed at the inactivity of the Boers Every one was confident and cheerful, but were suffering inconveniences of the siege, bread selling at three shillings per loaf Col. Baden-Poweii'8 dashing sor? ties at Mafeking encouraged the hope that the British garrisons aiong the western border are ali able to hold out Cecil Rhodes is employing 8,000 men, white and black, at Kim berley in road making as a remedy for destitution According to a dispatch from De Aar, the Boets at Kimberley have got the exact range of the mines and he is constantly throwing shells at the dynamite huts. Several of the latter have been blown up and tbe damage done to the mines already amounts to many thousands of pounds. Among the stories from Brussels is one tbat Gen. Joubert and Sir George White have been endeavor? ing to negotiate for the capitulation of Ladysmith, but have failed to come to terms. The report that the British cruiser Magicienne had fired on the French steamer Cordoba raises the doubtful print whether Great Britain has yet actually declared war. It is believed, however, that Europen nations have been made acquainted with the severance of relations between Great Britain and the two republics. TROOPS POURING IN. London, Nov. 13.-A dispatch from Cape Town to the war office announces the arrival there today of the troopship Armenia with three batteries of artillery and an ammuni? tion column, and the troopship Nubia, with the Scots Guards and half a battalion of the Northampton shire regiment. This brings the total number of reinforcements to 12,802, of which about 6.000 are already on the way to Durban The Armenia and Nubia, whose troops belong to the first division, will prob ably also be ordered to proceed Nine troopships, carrying 11,000 men, are due at Cape Town tomorrow (Tuesday). FUTURE OF TRANSVAAL. London, Nov. 13 -Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the ex? chequer, speaking this evening at Bristol, said : "The war iu South . Africa has destroyed both conven tions with the Transyaal. We must establish there a pure and honest government, on the basis of equal rights and on something more endur ing than paper safeguards. Subject to this, we should give whatever self-government may be possible in Sooth Africa No one desires that ?reat country to be governed perma penilj from 'Downing street/ " Subordinate Officer?

Practical Alliance Of Japan And China. London, Nov. 13 -The Daily Mail's Shanghai dispatches report that an uneasy feeling regarding the relations of Russia and Japan is spreading there. Its Shanghi corres? pondent cables : "There is no doubt that Japan is practically allied with China, despite the degradation which the empress dowager inflicted upon the Chinese envoys to Japan on their recent return. This was merely a tactical move, with a view of appeas? ing Russia. "A large Russian fleet intends win? tering in Nagaskai harbor and some remoo8tance by Japan in probable Prince Henry of Prussia, the com* mander of the German squadron in the North Pacific, is watching the pro? gress of events. The recently declar? ed in the course of the conversation that the Japanese army was in splen? did condition from the European point of view." JAPAN AND RUSSIA ARE UN FRIENDLY. Victoria, B. C , Nov 12 -That the rumors of the strained relations between Russia and Japan are not exaggerated seems certain from news received here by steamer. The North China Daily News says: "So greatly excited are the Chinese of the north boroughs of impending war between .Russia and Japan that manv merchants, both Chinese and Japanese, who are doing business io New Chwang, Port Arthur and Cbefoo have 6ent their families to Shanghai and elsewhere in the south for safety." It is believed Japan rather courts the struggle, as she is now second only to England in naval strength in the far east and for years bas viewed the encroachments of Russia with resentment and alarm. Li Hung Chang, in an interview given to an American correspondent at Peking, on the Philippine ques? tions, blames the United States for departing from its traditional policy, saying that bad Gen. Grant lived the country would never have entered upon a policy that he (Li) prophesied would be disastrous to the United States. He said that China would not object to America enlisting several regiments of Chinese to fight Filipinos if they were enlisted in the Philippines and with the knowledge and consent of the Chinese consul there. BURRY ORDERS ON JAPANESE BATTLESHIP. London, Nov. 12 -Hurry orders have been received by the builders of the Japanese battleship now in process of construction at Clyde Bank to complete the vessel as speedily a9 possible. The new ship, which will be one of the largest afloat, is to be finished by Jan 1, 1900. It is believed that these instructions are the result of the increasing tension between Japan and Russia. SHE MAY NEED BRITISH AID. Port Townsend, Wu , Nov. 12 - Advices received by the Orientai steamship St. Irene, indicate that the Japanese goverom"ot is taking a great j interest thc South Atric*;n war. j Up;?u the recommendation of the gee- j erat staff of the Jananrsc army, ar? ; ?ic?r will be t-ci:". to the scene of hostilities fer the purpose of gaining a practical knowledge of thc strength and i he 'aeries of thc Beer army. This move on the part, of thc J?p?inc?e, according to the Kobe Ohrccicic, is iodrfpenst-b.e for th;i reason that Japan may bs forced to roly upon the assist ance cf thu Briton army at rj > digram date.

Typhoons and Floods Impede the March of his Troops. Wasb?Dgtc-D, Nov. ll -Three im? portant dispatches from Gen Otis were received at the war department today, showing the hardships and difficulties encountered by our troops in their advance, and giving a captur? ed insurgents dispatch showing the line of argument put iorward to sustain the insurrection. The dis? patches are as follows : "Manila, Nov ll.-Severe ty? phoons over Paoay last two days im? peded march of Gen Hughes' troops; his column several miles north and west of Iloilo. Insurgents have abandoned strong defences in that section. "Manila Nov. ll.-Lawton push? ing troops through on Lupadimgan and San Buentin roads ; but country submerged ; bridges and recently constructed rafts washed out, and wheel transportation cannot move His reliance on cavalry, few infantry and native scouts, living mostly on country.

They indicate directed abandonment by enemy of country in vicinity of Cabanatuan and San Jose, and hur? ried movements by way of Taying over mountains to Bayonbonay, thence to Apirra Among the dis? patches the following appears : "Tarlac, Nov. 5, 1899 -Otis did not accept proposition today ; enemy attacked our outposts because Otis promised McKinley tr ske Tarlac today ; think they caonot break through ; take care of prisoners, as therein lies our great hopes, especial ly (fer ?) wives.

Manila, Nov 13.-10 a m.-When Col. Beil lefe Capas, 10 miles from Tarlao, at 1 o?clock yesterday he io lDteoded merely to reconnoitre.

The rebel ordnance is reported to have bren shipped to the towo of Doo neil. The Americans are continuing their advance so rapidly that toe insurgents have not time enough to destroy the railroad.

He Shows That the Result is a Rebuke to McKinley. Lincoln, Neb, Nov ll - W. J. BryaD this afternoon gave to the press an extended statement sumrniog up the results of the eiectioos in different States. In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, where the Democrats reaffirmed the Chicago platform, be find-? that they have made gains, while in New York and New Jersey (bo republican vote j ?bows a failing off. Maryland, he declares, is row safely Democratic On tbe Kentucky election be says : The result in Kent ocky does not give any encouragement to the republicans. Thc latest returns show tbat the corj test between Mr. Goebel sod Mr Taylor is very close. The democrats claim the election of Goebel aod the entire State ticket by small pluralitiea The legislature is safely democratic io both branches and tbe election of Black? burn to succeed Lindsay is assured, i No one who bas watched the contest : will do ibt that with tbe Democrats united on national issues, Kentucky can be relied upon for a majority of 20,000 or 30,000." Ohio is summed up as follows : "What consolation can republicans j draw from thc Ohio election ? Mr Hanna secured tbe nomination of bis candidate for Governor upon a platform endorsing the Republican Administra? tion, and wbile tbe returns indicate that Nash bas a plurality of about ? 50,000 over McLean, McLean and Jones together bave a majority of something like 50,000 over tbe repub iican candidate. "MeLean ran upon a platform em? phatically endorsing the Chicago plat? form and condemmog the trusts, mili? tarism aod imperialism, and he made a gallant fight against great odds. Ohio j is the borne of Mr. Hanna, Cbairmao of the Republican national committee. Postmasters all over the Union were urged to contribute money to save Ohio. Mr Hanna took the stump himself and called upon republicans to support the tioket and endorse the poli? cies of tbe Administration. And yet, in spite of all that could be done, Mr. Hanna's own county was carried by Mr. Jones and the republican party, wbicb bsd a majority of nearly 50,000 in 1896, is now overwhelmed by a majority approximating 50,000. The Jones vote is anti-republican. Mr Jones himself bas made an open fight against Mr. Hanna and bis methods ; aod the republican party bas turned its batteries against Mr. Jones and his followers." Iowa, South Dakota and Kansas resuks are passed over with brief para grapes as not of leading importance. On Nebraska be says : "Tbe Nebras ka campaign was fought on national issues and tbe Fusion candidate for judge received about 14.000 this year as againt 3,000 for the Fusion candidate for judge io 1897. Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn came from Wash iogtoo to plead with the voters to uphold the president's policies Sena? tors Thurston and Hayward were on the stump warning tbe people not to repudiate the president. Senator Fairbanks and other prominent republi? cans from outside tbe State lent their influence, but notwithstanding the efforts brought forth by the republicans the Fusion forces gained a signal victory. Their oaodidate, Judge Holcomb, carried five of the congres? sional districts cut of the six and lost the remaioiog district (the 1st) by only a thousand. The Fusionisrs made a net gain of three district judges a and large gain in county officers." Mr Bryan continues : "Taken as a whole the elecci?n returns from ali the States give encouiagemeot to tho^e who hope for the overthrow of the republi can party in 1900. It is evident that those who believed in the Chicago platform in 1S96 still believe io it. it is also evident that the hostility to the Chicago platform among those who op posed it is not as pronounced as it was ia 1896. It is appareot also that there is growing hostility to the monopolies which have grown up under a republican administration, il is safe to say that the American people would by a large majority pronounce against the attempt to raise the standing army to 100.000 and it. is equally certain tba: upon a distinct vote upcu the issue a large majority of the people would pronounce against an imperialistic policy which would develop herc a oo!o j nial system after the pattern of ; European governments j "It the renuke administered to the j renuOiicans at the polis had bneo more ( severe the prospects of remedial legis : lation ar. tho hanrits of the republish s i w ?uld be brighter Whiio ic WES j suf?i?iei:? to indicare f!-a: the people a?e ! not satir-??d with the republican poli? cies it may not have been sufiisieot to ! s;ay the course of the republican party ; toward plutocracy arid toward the : European ideas ot government bu:lt on force rather than upon the consent of thc governed - n government relying \ivo~i a large standing army rather than uno;: a citizen soldiery "W.

Republican Leaders Tell Mc? Kinley Tbat Hanna is Too Heavy a Load to Carry. Washington, Nov 13 -Boes Han? na wiil have a fight on his hands when he returns to Washington, just as hard as the one he had in Ohio, and one in which he cannot buy victory with cash Notice has been served on Mr McKinley by leading men in his party that Hanna will be too heavy a load to carry through j another national campaign : that hie? record was bad enough before he made those speeches in the Ohio campaign io defence of trusts, and that it has since then become an imperative necessity that he should retire from the head of the republi? can national committee Mr. McKin ley, who in addition to considering himself under many obligations, financial and otherwise, to Hanna, is believed to be a little afraid of him, attempted to argue with those who demanded Hanna's scalp, but he was at once told that it was not a case for argument ; that be could if so disposed, {rive Hanna a tip that would result in his voluntary retire? ment, on account of "his health" or any other old th?Dg, but that if he declined to do so, an open fight against Hanna would be started by some of the most prominent republi? cans in Cougress, as soon as the ses? sion opened. Mr McKinley did not say what he would do, but there is every reason to believe that be will stand by Hanna, at least until con? vinced that bis opponents are strong enough to down him Consequently a red hot fight, in which democrats will be interested spectators, ie ex? pected during the coming session of Congress. Whether it wili result in a defeat for Hanna will depend large? ly upoo circumstances, but it may play an important part in the legisla? tion of the session, as Mr. McKinley will ask much of Congress, and the republican majority in both House and Senate is entirely too slim to ieave room for any considerable kick? ing out of the administration traces According to an official report of the U S. Consul General at Stock? holm, the Government of Sweden owns and operates 2,284 miles o railway, the rolling stock of which consists of 502 locomotive, 428 bag gage cars, 892 passenger coaches, 3 dining cars, 45 postal wagons, t? com? bined coaches and baggage. 21 prison vans, 216 flat cars, and 12,161 freight cars The annual profits during the forty three yeare of gov? ernment ownership of the railways have averaged more than one and one-third million dollars in American money, besides the accumulation of a fund of $2,292,164 for pensioning employes retired on account of age or injury, and a fond of $2,079 219 for the relief of widows and children of deceased employes Copies of the following petition, to Congress, understood to have been prepared by Ex Senator Edmunds, who is honorary President of Phila? delphia branch of the anti imperialist league are receiving the signatures of those who are opposed to the ad? ministration's Philippine policy : "We, the under sigDed, citizens, of the U S of America, especially petition your honorable body to briog about an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Philippioe islauds, and to announce to the people there? of, with promptitude, that it is the purpose of the U S , not to interfere with their aspirations for indepen dence, or to subject them to our authority, but ouly to aid them in setting up an independent govern? ment of their own choice and to pro peet them against hostile foreign in? terference, and to assist them with thc military and naval forces of the ?.

A Shipbuilding Combine. San Francisco, Nov. ll.-The Call, referring today to tbe statement tele? graphed from the East that a syndicate, said to be headed by tbe Seiigmans, proposes to obtain control of the lead? ing shipbuilding concerns of the United States, says that the combioe contemplates the absorption of the Union Iron Works, of this city. The paper says that icquiries addressed to responsible parties in the East brough? the reply that the syndicate bad prac? tically succeeded in combining the ship yards of Cramp & Sons, ac Philadel? phia; C P Huntington, at Newport News, Va ; che Columbia Iron Works, Baltimore; the Bath, Maine, Iron Works, and the Union Iron Works, San Francisco. Tbe managers of the Union Works neither affirm nor deny the report. It is estimated the consol? idated value of the concerns admitted to the combine exceeds 8*20,000,000. It is said that ali members of the Dewey family related to Admiral Dewey would hold a reunion in the Waldorf Astoria hotel, New York, in January or February. Acceptances have been received from all parts of the country, indicating that 1,500 Deweys will gather in New York to meet the admiral and hie bride.
