WASHINGTON, Nov. lim-Tt'le mem-
bers of the Philippine co iss1on, Ad-
miral Dewey, Professors Schurman and
Worcester and Colonel Denby, will make
a preliminary report to the president be-
fore the end of this week, and it is un-
derstood the report will be immediately
given to the public. A member of the
cabinet, speaking of the report, said. “In
advance of the completion of the report
it is not deemed proper to make any
statement relative to the nature of the
commission’s disclosures to the president
this morning beyond the general one that
they tend to confirm the administration
at every point in the course of treatment
it has outlined for the islands and to re-
move the least doubt as to the attitude
that the government should assume upon
the question of the retention of the archi-
pelago.”

The Vice President’s Condition.
PATERSON, 13.1, Nov. 2.
lowing 11 as given out last night at 10
o’clock: “Vice President Hobart has tak-
en some nourishment. Mrs. Hobart says
he l'ooks better and stronger than he has
appeared in two 01' three weeks. The
prospects are that he will pass a better
night than he did last night. He had the
newspapers read to him and took quite
an interest in current affairs. He also
talked for a time about his private busi-
ness afiairs. The. doctor left the Hobart
residence at 9 o’clock. N0 hope is held
out of the ultimate recovery of the vice
president, while it is thought possible
' that he may pass away without much
warning.”

NATIONAL FINANCES.
A Net Balance For. October of, Over
$289,000,000.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.——The month
ly statement of the public debt just is-
sued shows that at the close of business
Oct. 31,1899, the debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to $1,146, 629, 581, a
decrease during the month of $2,276,199.
This decrease is accounted for by the in-
crease in the amount of cash on hand‘
and the increased redemption of national
bank notes. The debt is recapitulated
as follows:
Interest bearing debt, $1,046,049,020;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, $1,210,030; debt bearing no in-
terest, $388, 762,071; total, $1,436,021, -
121. This amount, however, does not in- ,
elude $656, 664,903 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equal amount of cash on
hand.
The comparative statement of the gov-
ernment receipts and expenditures issued
shows that during October, 1899, the to-
tal receipts were $47,533,588 against
$39,630,051 for October, 1898.
The expenditures for last month aggre-
gated $44,17,4 026 against $53, 982, 276 for'
October last year, leaving a surplus for
the month of $3, 359, 562. During the
four months of the present fiscal year the
receipts amounted to $190,900,164 and
the expenditures $183,851,152, which
leaves a surplus for the present fiscal
year of $7,049, 012. The receipts from
customs during the last month amounted
to $18, 807,809 against $15, 555, 234 for
the correspondent month last year.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-—A dispatch from
De Aar, Cape Colony, dated Nov. 1, says:
“According to Burghersdorp advices,
3,000 Boers have collected at the Bethulie
bridge. They are probably the forces
under Commandant Dutoil.”
A dispatch from Klipdam, near Kim-
be1ley dated Oct. 30, says a small Boer
1 force under Commandant Schultz de-
l manded the surrender of the town. The
magistlate, Mr. Harmswor,th complied,
' as he had only six rifles. The 150 Dutch
. residents welcomed the Boers. Mr.
Harmsworth escaped to Hopetown.
He reports that 6,000 Boers surround
Kimberley, and communication with the
place is extremely. diflicult and danger-
ous. The troops and people in the city
are hoping for relief. The discipline of
the Boers is indifferent, but they are well
mounted.
The war office 1eceived a dispatch from
General Sir George White at Ladysmith,
Natal, yesterday, timed 9:20 a. m., which
came via Cape Town. It announced that
Lieutenant Egerton of H. M. S. Power~
ful was wounded by a piece of shell
which struck him in the right foot.
This proves that the bombardment of
Ladysmith is proceeding.
A dispatch received by the Central
News from Ladysmith, dated Thursday,
11:40 p. m.,‘says: “The Boers are march-
? ing south and southeast. Their object is
to seize the railway near Colenso and cut
British communication between that
point and I’ietermaritzburg and Durban.
This movement has been foreseen and
.arrangemcnts made for the defense of
our line.”
The correspondent adds: “All honors
today were with our gunners. The artil-
lery practice of the bluejackets produced
admiration throughout the camp. The
Boers stuck doggedly to their heavy
. guns, but every gun was silenced early in
the morning. Later they reopened fire
and were again silenced. The firing was
renewed in the evening and kept up in
desultory fashion.”
The war office’s dispatch from General
\Vhite disposed of the fears that tele-
graphic communication with Ladysmith
had been already cut off.
According to another dispatch the na-
val brigade has mounted four more guns
from Durban.
Special dispatches from Ladysmith,
dated Tuesday, give further details re-
garding the renewal’of the bombardment.
The Boers, having reoccupied their old
positions, remounted big guns. Their
firing was accurate, but almost harmless.
Some of the troops were slightly injured
- by splinters.
Lieutenant F. G. Egerton and his men
from the Powerful did splendid work
and quickly silenced the Boer guns.
The Boers acknowledge having suffer-
ed heavy losses in men and horses in the
previous battle.
General Jan H. M. Kock, who was
second in command in the Transvaal
forces and who was wounded in the bat-
tle of Elandslaagte, died in the hospital
at Ladysmith on Monday night.
Little light is thrown on the actual sit-
uation by the news at hand today. The
magnitude of Monday’s fight, however,
is more than ever evident. Virtually
three actions were raging simultaneous-
ly, but it is obvious that the intention to
roll back the Orange Free State troops
was not achieved.
The correspondent of the London Star
at Ladysmith telegraphs that he has vis-
ited the scene of Monday’s disastel. He
s.1:.s the lighting lasted seven hours He
counted 20 Blitish dead on the hill, and
100 wounded were picked up. Eight hun-
dred and seventy prisoners were sent to
Pretoria.
The correspondent adds: “While the
Boers were engaging the Irish fusileers
and the Gloucestcrshire regiment from
hills facing a precipitous mountain an-
other party of Boers crept up a gentler
slope of the same eminence. Thus our
men were virtually surrounded.”
Strange News via Brussels.
PARIS, Nov. 3.—The Havas agency
last evening published the following ex-
traordinary dispatch from Cape Town,
which, the agency says, emanated from
its correspondent at Brussels:
“The news of the Boers’ two victories
around Ladysmith has created considera-
ble excitement among the Africanders.
who do not conceal their joy. Sir Alfred
Milner, the British high commissioner.
is much perturbed at their attitude. Gen-
eral \Vhite, in these two engagements,
lost about 350 men killed, wounded and
prisoners. The second victory was won
by the Free Staters, commanded by Lu-
cas Meyer, who seized Colenso, thus cut-
ting off the retreat of General White,
who is wounded. The investment of La-
dysmith is complete, and the Boers are
masters of Pietermaritzburg and the
Durban railway. News has reached Gen-
eral \Vhite that Mafeking is closely be-
sieged and that the Boers have success-
fully repulsed the sorties. The surrender
of Mafeking is expected. It is also con-
firmed that the Free Staters have seized
Colesburg.” ,

Moderation Best For Germany.
BERLIN, Nov. 3,—The Vossische Zei-
tung publishes an appeal, signed by the
committee of the German corps in the.
Transvaal, calling upon Germans to con-
tribute to the support of the families of
“those German volunteers who have tak-
en up arms in a just cause.” The Ham-
burgische Correspondenz, in the course of
a selnioflicial article which cautions those
who desire to embroil Germany in a con-
flict with Great Britain, says: “Germany
is not going to pluck chestnuts for other
people out of Great Britain’s fire. Such
a policy would drive Germany so closely
Into the arms of Russia that she Would
hardly be able to breathe.”

That In One Year’s Time. Lu-

as Massachusetts.
TOPEKA, Nov. 3.—Returning war-
riors never received a more royal we]-
come home than that accorded yesterday
to the soldiers of Kansas’ famous fight-
ing Twentieth on its arrival from San
Francisco. ,General Frederick Funston
came in for the lion’s share of attention
shown to the oflicers, and the “little hero
of Manila” was literally taken off his
feet by his admirers in their eagerness to
display their regard for him. At every
station cheering crowds met the soldiers
and greeted them 'in unstinted fashion.
The schools and" the colleges along the
line wéire closed, business was practically
suspended, and the people flocked to the
trains by thousands.
Snow in the mountains had delayed the
trains, and it. was after noon before the
GENERAL FUNSTON.
first reached Topeka. The three other
sections followed closely, the last squad
of soldiers being landed shortly before
4 o’clock. '
So many thousand people were on the
platform and the railroad tracks that the
train had to fairly crawl into the depot.
\Vhistles screeched, cannon boomed, doz-
ens of bands played, and the cheers were
almost deafening. From every car win-
dow leaned soldiers waving hats and yell-
ing. They leaped from the car steps be-
foxc the train stopped and fell into the
arms of friends, who grasped and hugged
them and passed them on to eage1 rela-
tives and sweethearts. AFathers and
mothers pushed through the crowd in a
frantic endeavor to find “their boy. ”
Many affecting scenes were enacted.
Solid blocks of people filled every street
leading to the depot, and the city was
taxed to its utmost to care for its guests.
It seemed as if the whole state of Kansas
had come to town. Tons of bunting had
been used in decorating the buildings,
and electrical and other decorations were
used with a lavish hand. The weather
was glorious.
It was after 4 o’clock when the parade
to the city began.
A gua1d of honor for the boys of the
Twentieth was the civil war veterans,
members of the national guard and many
civic Olganizations. There were 32 bands
in the parade, the performers numbering
nearly 1, 000 musicians. The entire pa-
rade line of over two miles was a mass
of cheering humanity.
General Funston, with his wife, rode in
the carriage of honor, while Colonel Met-
calf, on a white charger, and Lieutenant
Colonel Little, on a prancing black, took
their appointed stations at the head of
the regiment. All received ovations at
every point along the line. At the state
house Chief Justice Doster, in a brief
speech, introduced General J. K. Hud-
son, who, on behalf of the people of Kan-
sas, presented the beautiful $1,000 sword
to General Funston.
In a short speech of acceptance Gen-
eral Funston said he predicted that in
one year’s time the island of Luzon will
be :11: ouiet as Massachusetts. “I return
to ‘51.: 1.1,” said he, “and unless I get
sick 01' disabled I will not return until the
War is over.”
Colonel Metcalf followed General Fun-
ston in a brief speech.
In the evening an elaborate banquet
was served in the new state library
rooms to the oflicers and privates of the
Twentieth.
The day closed with the most magnifi-
cent display of fireworks ever given in
the state’s history.
A Forty-second Private Shot.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Nov. 3.—
Private Simon Downer of the Forty-sec-
ond infantry, United States volunteers,
was fatally shot at Fort Niagara while
attempting to escape from the guard.
Downer was under arrest for assaulting
five of his comrades with a knife. In the
struggle it was thought that he had been
injured, and while taking him to the
post surgeon he made an attempt to es-
cape. He was shot through the right
shoulder, the ball from a Krag-Jorgensen
penetrating his lungs and coming out of
his breast. The dying man’s home is at
Wales Center, Mich. He enlisted in
Cleveland.
