Home Journals Comment on the *“*Mishap’” and Call for a New Commander, CAMP AYATA, Ixpia (via Fankajora), Sept. 17, 8 p. M —Severe fighting has taken place between the second brigade of Gen- erat Sir Rindon Blood’s division and the Mohmonds. The British loss' was 140 killed and wounded. The brigade has moved out to attack the Mohmonds in the valley north of the camp, to punish them for the assault upon the force of General Jeffreys at the foot of PawatPass. The Bengal lancers found the enemy in- trenched on the hills about eight m.les distant. The Tnirty-fifth Sikhs was ordered to make the atiack. The regiment was sup- ported by four guns of a mountain battery and by six companies of Buffs, The Sikhs drove the enemy into the hills, but event- ually fell back upon the Buffs b-fore su- perior numbers. The enemy then ad- vanced against the l!eft flank and drove back the cavalry and sarrounded a com- pany of Sikhs. Tbe cavalry charged bril- liantly, und relieved the Sikhs and the gaides, and, coming up, swept the enemy back. The force halted for some time, destroying the enemy's towers and then retirad, A company of Sikhs on the hills to the | right was hard vressed and was running shiort of ammunition when the general of- ficer commanding moved the guides for- ward to their relief, which was gallantly accomplished. The guides carried the woanded Sikhs back and exccuted the withar.wal in good order, though the | enemy pressed them hard. Darkness came on befors the force reached the camp, and the gumides, with General Jefireys and his escort of Buffs, became separated from the column, which passed them in the gloom. General Jef- freys remained with the guns and took up a position in the village. Meanwhile the enemy occupied a part of the village and the force not being sirongenough to expel them they bad inHlicted considerable loss on the little party before Major Wortlidge, with two companies, each composed of Sikhs ana guides, came up and compeiled them to retire. A large body of cavalry and the Thirty- eighth Degras left the camp and brought in the whole detachment. Lieutenant Hughes and Lieutenant Crawford were killed, Lieutenant Watson, Leutenant and Lieutenant Winter were Li-utenant Cassells and Captain Birch slightly wounded. The Buffs lost one killed and seven | wounded, the Sikhs twenty-one kilied and forty-two wounded, the gaides two kiiled and ten wounded, the gunners seven kilied and twenty-oie wounded and the sappers three killed and sixteen wounded. Two B neal lancers were wounded. Many norses and mules were killed. LONDON, Exc., Sept. 18.— All the morning papers coriment upon the British reverse north of Camp Ayata. The Daily Telecraph cails it *‘disas- trous,” and says: “Whether it was due to rahness or to some new unexplained cause it will be a matter of unfeigned sor- row. many valuable lives we can only deplore a casualty which, though it will doabt- less sypeeailv be avenged, casts a gloom upon the happier intelligence received trom Fort Gulistan.” The Standard says: “The interruption of thie advance is in every way deplorable. it is absolutely necessary to retrieve the reverse, and, meanwhile, the enemy, who are said to be disheartened and disin- clined tofight, will be encouraged to organize a determined resistanc- Possi- bly the Third Brigade, which has reached Nawagai, will retrnce its steps in order to support General Jeffreys=. *It isimyossibie to offer an explanation of the mishap. We must remember, how- ever, that it occurred in a country never traversed by European troops and very litile was kna an of the country or of the Mabmonds. But there isreason to fear once again that a lack ot complete intelli- gence as (o the disposition of the enemy’s strength has led our commanders to 1ake an operation rthat cannot be pushed through. Further details are awaited with anxiety. 1t must be hoped thar the In- d:an Government will give Sir William Locknart a perfectly free hand to choose bis own men. He must not be bound by red-tape reculations. Much is to be done be ore peace will be restored.’’ The Daily News says: It is very seri- ous news and gives the greatest impor- tance to the appointment of Sir William Lockhart to succeed Sir George White on the latter's retirement, which has just been cfficially announced. Thnere is little doubt that his name will be heara witn dread by the insurgent trib>smen. REDUCING Railroads to I'rovide Cheap Fares to the St. Loui: Expoviiion. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 17.—The Chicago and Northwestern to-usy announced a rate of $1095 .rom Omaha, $10 85 from Council Bluffs and $7 from Des Moines, to be effective on Tuesdays and Thursdays during tne continuance of the St. Louis Exvosition. All the other roads inter- ested in the territory affected will make tne same rates. It is said by the roads making the rates that they are compelled to make them in consequence of the $7 rate made from Kan- sas City to Chicago by the Great Western. The rates made to-day are based on the rate of §7 from Des Moines, the local rates by and Council Bluifs.

Secretary Sherman’s Famous Dispatch Comes in for Criticism. Salisbury Seems to Have Been All Right and Uncle Sam Al Wrong. LONDON, Exg.,, Sept.'18 —The Times this morning publishes the gist of the ccrrespondence between FSecretary Sher- man and Lord Salisbury in the Bering Sea controversy. The book covers a period beginning with 1895 and ending with July 30 of the present year. Aitogether there are twenty-<even dispatches which show that the United States has pressed for revision since January, 1895. The Times remarks: *“Though Mr. Sher- man so far forzot himself as to sign the famous dispatch, we cannot suppose that he actually wrote it.” Only tne concluding paragraph ot the dispatch is republished, all the terms deemed discourteous being omitted. The Times then adds: ‘‘Lora Salisbury wisely refrained irom answering the dls patch in detail. He confined himself to imparting a short note to Embassador Hay, dated July 28, 1897, stating that the Government was willing to agree to a meeting oi the experts in October, pre- ferably in Washington, and that other portions of Mr. Suerman’s dispatch, in so far as they required any revly from her M:jasty’s Government, had been answered by anticipation in d spatches he (Lord Salisbury) had addre-sea to Sir Julian Pauucefote on April and May 7, had been communicated to the Govern- ment of the United States on July 26."" In a 1one letter from the Colcnial Office to the Foreign Office, signed Edward Wingfield, occupying four columns o:} small print, the Times deals with Mr. Sherman’s dispatch in detail. In this document, which 18 prepared by Mr. Cbamveriain, the latter points out that Mr. Sherman’s contention that the exier- mination of fur-vearing seals had been practically accomplished cannot have come to pass, a~ in that case there would be nothing atall to form the subject mat- ter of negotiations. Tne document proceeds: *Lord Sal bury poinied out in May that the English | interests hac for some years exceeded the American in the fur-s-aling industry. It canmnot, therefore, be forthe advaniage of the British Government or-those whom it | minated.” Mr. Chamberlain contends much more complete in some directions | than those adopted by the United States— | for securing the enforcement of the Paris regulations, and says it was mever in- tended by the tribunei of arbitration that the United Statesofficers should be given the power of supervising and chntroliing the uction of British naval and customs officers with regard to the inspection of skine. The British Government, he asserts, has | performed with the utmost riger ail the reqnirements of the awards, but has had | 10 make ‘“continual unavailing protests agaivs: the attempts of the United States | to hamper and embarrass the operations of British subjects pursuing their lawiul vocation. “But the fact,”’ continues Mr. Chamber- lain, *‘that in spite of those embaarass- ments British sealers have been able t. prosecute the industry successfully has| led to continued efforts by the United States to obtain further regulations as wonld effectively prevent that result, without regard to the objects of the award.” Tae Co'onial Office concludes as follows: “Tne Government has never argued that the regulations are perfect, but it has maintained that before they can be re- vised accurate information as to the in- create or decrease of the herd must be made available. Suchinformation is only obtainable by accurate observation tend- ing over a period sufficient to enable acci- aental circumstancs to be eliminated. As soon as thatis at hand the Government is ready to enter upon a discussion of the | question in the impartial and friendly | spirit with which the Government can confidently claim it has acted throughout the entire controversy.’’ The Times, commenting editorially uvon the bering Sea correspondence, says: “The publication of the dispatches | showing how the agreement for a new | conference was arnved at will be a relief to the public mind. Nothing has been done to compromise the dignity of the nation or to give even an apparent tri- umph to the tactics of unwarrantable dic- tation, “Mr, Sherman’s extraordinary dispateh, unexampled probably in the annals of diplomacy, has been conclusively an- swered in state papers, admirable alike in reasoning power and literary form, pre- pared by the Colonial Office, dealing dully with Mr Sberman’s contentions and de- molishing them 1n the most complete and sa:isfactory way. ““The document absolves Lord Salisbury from the necessity oi entering into de- taily irrelevant to the coniroversy, and at the same time it l-aves him free to assent to an invesiigation relating to matters of fact which 1t is obviously desiratle to uave asceriained before the time arrives | to consider whetber it is necessary or de- sirable to revise the pelazic regulations,”” GEOKGE GOUULD EEIURNS, How Business FEivival Has Added Hi« Many Millioas.

Sensational Contest for a Maid-of- Honor for the Mountain and Flain Festival. ASPEN, Coro., Sept. 17.—Vastly hotter than a Presidential election was the con- test closed to-day in the election of a maid-cf-honor from Pitkin County for the Mountain and Piain Festival at Denver next month. The contest started in & spirit of good-natured rivalry, but the in- terest increased till toward the last there were not a dozen people in the city who were not excited over the result. A most sensational feature was the filing of a libel suit. Miss Thira Bow, one of the contestants, sued Mrs. ¥lizabeth Brown for $50.000 for defamation of char- Mrs. Brown was opposed to Miss Bow’s candidacy. Finally the contest simmered down Lo three candidates. One morning it was reported that a prominent newspaper man haa made tha boest that his favorite would win with flving colors, and it was noticed that his press was run- ning extra time, Friends of another can- diaa e soon raised. a purse and large | orders were placed for papers at the other newspaper offices, which newspapers were also publishing ooupons, The last few days the race was hot. It practically became a question of capacity of presses. The closing hours witnessed men, women and children flocking to the baltot-boxes carrving with them rom 5 to 5000 ballots. A conservative estimate piaces the number of ballots cast at 200,- €00. They completely swamped the County Commissioners and the successful candidate will not be known for several days.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., Sept. 17.— Five men were instantly killed and three | were badly injared in & head-end collision of freight trains on the Wisconsin Central Railroad near Howard, Wis., to-day.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 17.—The sec- ond day of the trial of Hunter et al. was characterized by charges of perjury. Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter, ex-Congressman J. H. Wiison and Deputy Coliector E. T. Franks on oue side and Captain Noel Gaines and Thomas F. Tanner on the other side swore to contradictory state- Hunter swore that he was never e, and did not know where es looked at Dr. Hunter and said he knew he was at his house on the night of Aoril 1, and asked him 1f he could buy the votes of Repre:entatives Go-samerk and Johus. Hunter was corroborated by legislators and friends, who said he could not have been away from the hotel on that night long enough to have gone where Gaines swears he wus. Gaines is corroborated by witnesses, who testify to having seen him on the road, and by Tanner, who says he piloted him there. Constant lear of a collision between the warring defendants and their friends exists. There are several more witnesses for both detendants, and the trial can hardly be concluded to-morrow. Every one on the scene predicts a ““hung” jury. Tnhe Hunter defendants nhave so iar failed to prove tbat Governor Bradley was in the conspiracy to indict Dr. Hunter. GoiaE g ROBBERS RalD A POSTOFFICE. Escaping One Is Wounded by aw Ufficer. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 17.—A special to the News from Chadron, Nebr., says: Three masked highwaymen entered the postoffice at Belmont, this county, yes- terday, and by the liberal display of six- shooters compelled the postmaster to de- liver up some $400 of postoffice funds. They made their escape, but two were ap- preliended in Crawford after lively fight- ing, in which one of the robbers was mor- tally wounded by Marshal Spearman of Crawford. The robber drew a gun when Bat in Mortally accosted by the officer, but was shotin the | arm pefore he could raise the weapon. | Though severely wounded he emptied the coatents of his six-shooter, but without effect, and was finally brought down with a putlet in his neck.

Stormy Scens Among the Rivals at the GiIrl’s Home—Paterfamllas as Arbitrator. NEW HAVEN, Coxy., BSept. 17.— WMatthew Sterling Borden, son of a Fall River millionaire, whose home is in New York, who says he was married Monday to Miss Mildred Negbauer, daughter of a tailor of this city, is not the only rich Yaule man who was engaged to the pretty Jewess. Assoon as the news of Borden's wedding to the girl appeared in to-day’s papers two other aspirants for her hand appeared. They were Frederick Everett Grant. Yale 92, and John Knox Blake, Yale Law Schooi '97. Grant was known as “'‘General’’ Grant, and the other lover, Blake, lived in the Negbauer house all of last year. His attentions to “Millie” | were so unremittent that he failed 10 graduate. Borden, Blake and “General’’ Grant all met this afternoon at the Negbauer house and there was a hot scene. The | girl was distracted and calied on her father, who admitted that Borden must | be left alone with tne girl for the pres- | ent. The others then took their leave. To a reporter Blake exclaimed: “Welil, I'm her real lover, anyhow. She does not love those fellows, and she will come back to me.” “General’’ Grant says he also holds the girl’s promise of marriage, and he statos that she even to-day encouraged him. Biake states that the girl whispered to him that no ceremony was periormed be- tween the girl and voung Borden. and that her love bubbles up tor him alone. Borden says he will stick by the girl, and that she will stand by him, even if iis father disinherits him. This afternoon Grant and Blake are | wandering around the streets of New | Haven disconsolate. Several friends nave | urged both to briug breach of promise ~uits and attach the mouney that Father | Borden gave the girl to go to South Da- kota with when she got her divorce from young Borden after marrying him the first time. RESEEVES OF SILVER, Continentat Journals Jiidicule the Bank of England’s Proposal. BERLIN. GERMA Sept. 17. — The Vossische Zeitung, in an article on the discussion of the proposal that the Bank of England should admit silver into its reserves, recalls Prince Bismarck’s saying, | ““Acceptance in principle 13 s polite form of rejection.” The paper adds: ‘‘The idea that France will reopen her mints while silver is at its present price is preposterous. It the silverites consider this a victory, we neither grudze nor envy them their suc- cess:” PARIS, Fraxce, Sept. 17.—The Journal des Debats, in an article on the discussion over the silver letter of the governor of | the Bank of England, calls it a ‘“chef | d’cenvre of humor,” and commiserates the silverites upon their discovery that their cry of victory is premature.
