Ben- son, has met with a serious reverse in the southeastern part of the Trane- vaal,in the area of Commandant General Botha’s operation. Col. Ben- son and eight other officers were killed and thirteen officers were wounded, besides fifty-eight noncom- missioned ofticers and men killed and 156 wounded. At an early hour this morning the war office issued twodispatches from Gen. Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Nov, 1, the first of which states that: “A severe attack madeon therearguard of Benson's column about twenty miles northeast of Bethel, near Bra- kenlaagte, during a thick mist. The strength of the enemy is said to have been 1,000. They rushed two guns with the rear guard, but it is uncer- tain whether they were able toremove them. | fear our casualties were heavy. Benson was wounded,” The second dispatch contains a re- port made by Bol, Barter, who was sent from the constabulary line on Thursday to relieve Col Benson, when the disaster was first reported. He reached the column early this (Fri- day) morning without meeting with opposition. He found Col. Benson had died of bis wounds, and that Lieut. Col. Guieness, one major, three captains and three lieutenants had been killed and three captains and ten lieutenants’wounded, The other Wastialties were as stated above. Col. Baxter says that the fighting with the rearguard was at very close quarters, and was maintained with great determination by both sides, The Boers suffered severely, but no reliable. estimate of their losses has yet been received, The Boers retired to the east, Gen. Kitchener adds; “I assume that the two guns were recovered and that the enemy has withdrawn, but that there are no further details I deeply regret the loss of Col, Benson and the officers and men. In Col. Benson the service loses a most gal lant and capable commander, who invariably led his column with mark- ed success and judgment.” Brigands Insists on Last Farthing. Constantinople, Nov, 1.—Euarly to- day the negotiations with the cap- tors of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, were said to be going on so successfully that her re- lease seemed to be only a matter ofa few days. So far as there being any confirmation of the rumors of her death, circulating in the Bulgarian border districts, it is said here that another letter, written two daysago, ved from her. Later in the day, however, the case of Miss Stone again became more se- rious. The brigands, it appears, are still holding out for the £25,000 ransom, and it is ieared that should they persist in their demand Miss Stone will have to be sacrificed. Nevertheless, 4till proceeding. Anxiety prevails this evening at the United States Legation, where there has been an active exchange of telegrams between Secretary Spencer Eddy and various points. Mr. Eddy. to-day had a long conference with Sir Nicholas R. O’Conor, the British Ambassador here, who is actively as- sisting in the efforts to bring about Miss Stone’s release.

This time it is Count Stanislaus, the brother of Count: Boni, who thirsts for gore and vengeance. An article ridiculing the Castellane family entitled “Barnum Castellane & Co.,” recently published in the newspaper, the Nouvelliste, at Murat, excited the wrath of Count Stanislaus Sastellane, who recently married Mlle.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION President Roosevelt Names Tharsday, No- vember 28, as a Day of Prayer for Bless ings Material and Spiritual Washington, Nov. 2.—President oosevelt Saturday issued his proc- }lamation fixing Thursday, November |28, as a day of national thanksgiving. It follows: The season ‘is nigh when, according to the time-hallowed custom of our peo- ple, the president appoints a day as the especial occasion for praise and thanks- giving to God. This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good president. We mourn President McKinley because we so loved and honored him; and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people a keen anxiety for the coun- try, and at the same time a resolute pur- pose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, orderly, pop- ular liberty which as a nation we have thus far safely trod. Yet In spite of this great disaster, it is nevertheless true that no people on earth have such abundant cause for thanks- giving as we have. The past year in particular has been one of peace and plenty, We have prospered in things material and have been able to work for ourn own uplifting in things intel- lectual and spiritual, Let us remember that, as much as has been given us, much will be expected from us; and, that true homage comes from the hear, as well as from the lips and shows self in deeds. We can best prove o' thankfulness to the Almighty by the way in which on this earth and at this h of us does his duty to his n. . therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, do here- by designate as a day of general than giving, Thursday, the %8th day of this present November, and do recom- mend that throughout the land people cease from their wonted occupations and at their several homes and places of worship reverently thank the Giver of all good for the countless blessings of our national life. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed, Done at the city of Washington this Lord 191 and of the independence of the United States the 126th.

He did not know that this would be done as he had not discussed the ease with his associates, but it had occurred to him that this would be a good plan, He felt, he said, that the American people would want the court's reasons in detail and were en- titled to know them. THOUGHT OF SOUTH ArRICA During London's Greeting te the Vorks There Was an Undercurrent of Grief London, Nov. 2.—-The cheers that greeted the duke and duchess of Corn. wall and York Saturday they passed on their return from their world tour through the crowded streets of London, were intermingled with the shrill cries of the newsboys shouting: “Terrible disaster in Seuth Africa Beneath the jubilation on the safe arrival of the heir apparent there existed a keen undereffrrent of grief and anger over the defeat of Col, Benson’s column, Of the thou- sands who lined the route from V'cto- r ationto Marlborough house many were personally concerned in the 236 British casualties incurred in this jatest reversal and while the duke and duchess were welcomed back with great heartiness, the crowds could not shut their eyes to the mocking con- trast between the pageant and the se- rious news of the morning.

A MODERN MONTE CHRISTO “Prince Hanjit of Balochistan” Has Suc- ceeded in Exciting and Cumpletely Baffling London's Curiosity. London, Oct. 26.—“Prince Hanjit of Baluchistan,” who to an unusual ex- tent has succeeded in exciting and baffling London's curiosity, and who is variously described as an Indian potenfate and a prince of Siam, sailed October 24 from Liverpoo] for Mon- treal, whence he is going to New York accompanied by a dusky suite num- bering 28 persons. He lived a fort- night in all the splendor of oriental opulence, at a fashionable London ho- tel, where he had dropped in, unan- nounced and concernedly and engaged ;23 rooms. In spite af the publicity | which such an arrival was bound to jcreate, he has left England as much jim the dark as to his identity as when jhe arrived, The India office has is- sued an official announcement that there is no such India chief as “Prince Hanjit of Baluchistan,” but that neither copdemns the mysterious stranger nor clears up his identity, as anjit is palpably an assumed name, | eeeeniihinaeenemmammael (CASTORIAS =The Kind You He Always Bought we | Promotes Digestion Cheerfu!- i] ness and Rest.Contains neither Morphine nor Mineral.
