Yukon Frozen Over.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 3. The steamer
Aberdeen arrived from Lynn canal last
night with seventy passengers. Her
Klondike passengers came up the river
on the Ora. She left Dawson October
13, and the Ora. the last boat of the
season, a. day later. She had a large
crowd of passengers aboard. L. Wil
liams, an Ora passenger, says the Yukon
is doubtless now frozen over in many
places. Coming across Queen Charlotte
sound the Aberdeen got afoul of a
sunken log and broke one of hei pro
peller blades. The mishap lessened her
speed a little, but caused no other in
convenience. Police Are Baffled.
Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 3. The 'Au
stralian police have been baffled by the
Bee Long murderers. Seven months
ago the entire colony was startled by
a series of murders which took place
within one hundred miles of Sydney.
Two well known desperadoes, Jimmy
and Joe Governor, half-breeds, were the
only ones of the murderers who escaped.
Since then they have killed two officers
and a woman. A proclamation, has been
issued by the chief justice of New South
Wales declaring the men to be outlaws,
so that they may legally be shot down
if it is found impossible to capture them
alive.
Jones is Not Crazy.
New York, Nov. 3. Charles F. Jones,

Rice, and who was arrested on a charge
of forgery and attempted to commit
suicide in the Tombs by cutting his
throat, passed a very comfortable night.
The report -that Jones is mentally un
balanced i3 denied at the hospital, and
it is declared his mind Is as clear as
ever.

100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK,
BRITISH LOSSES.
October Average With Other Honths
of the War.
London, Nov. 3. The South African
situation is improving and Lord Roberts
will shortly return to England with a
majority of his staff. Arrangements are
being made in Cape Town to send the
first batch of refugees back to Johannes
burg, and accommodation is being pro
vided at Bloemfontein for a. garrison of
seven thousand.
Nevertheless the activity of the Boers
continues. On October 26, a commando
of 300 captured a garrison of 30 men at
Reddersburg, but afterward released
them. Trains from the south to Pretoria
are attacked by the Boers almost daily.
On October 24 the burghers occupied
Koffyfontein.
On the other hand General Knox has
inflicted a reverse on General Dewet's
forces near Parys, capturing two guns,
one of them a weapon lost by the Brit
ish in the Sannas post affair.
The daily tale of British casualties Is
heavy. During the month of October the
British lost 167 killed in action, includ
ing 15 officers, 71 who died of wounds.
367 who died of disease, 22 who died of
accidents and 97 captured or missing, a
total almost equal to the monthly aver
age for the duration of the war.
The Daily Express publishes sensa
tional statements tnat the Boer resist
ance is more serious than has hitherto
been believed, and that in consequence
Lord Roberts' return is likely to be still
further postponed. It says also that no
considerable party of troops will return
before January or February, while the
regimental drafts from England will
continue and 5,000 horses will be sent
out. The paper definitely declares that
the Boers are well armed and abundant
ly supplied with ammunition, and that
the campaign is likely to last another
six months.
In the best informed quarters, how
ever, it is asserted that there Is no
ground for the pessimism of the Daily
Express.
CAR LEAVES TRACK.
Lowman Bill Passengers Given

One of the new cars brought from St.
Louis by the Street Railway company,
jumped the track last night at one of
the defective joints, near Morris ave

AN IRISH CAKE WALK.
It Shared Honors With the Eagle in
The Ivy Leaf."
It was odd enough to have a Cakewalk
In the Ameer's palace in Afghanistan,
but to have the shifty coon step invade
the Irish melodrama is positively sad.
The burnt cork minstrel has tried to
push the jolly Hibernian, with his fiery
red Galway fringe, from the center of
the stage for a long time, thus rar tney
have not gone beyond the legitimate ap
peal to public favor, each taking their
turn one alter the other, like vaudeville.
Now ti seems that the Irish melodram
atists have had to incorporate the cake
walk into their fetes along with the
Kerry dance and the himble clog. Little
Norine did it with Murty Kerrigan in
"The Ivy Leaf," at the Crawford last
night, at any rate. The question that
now arises is how long will it be before
Shakespeare succumbs to the ecstatic
rag time? Perhaps Topeka will see Bot
tom or Puck lead one of Titania's fairies
through the pas-ma-la when the James
Kidder combination arrives here next
month. Who knows?
"The Ivy Leaf" east was not strong
enough to do justice to the pretty Irish
melodrama of many years' popularity.
They declaimed their lines in resem
blance to a class in elocution, Neil
O'Callaghan as Darby Flynn, the old
fisherman, came nearer to escaping
dullness than Edwin Hanford'9 "Murty
Kerrigan" and Virginia Clay's "Collice
O'Brien." The spectacular features
the eagle s flight across the stage carry
ing Little Norine to his crag, her rescue,
the ivy tower scene with Murty's dar
ing leap from it had special scenery
and interest centered in their apt work
ings. In the way of specialties John W.
Hogan, the Irish piper, was much ap
preciated. Miss Hart, Mr. Hanford and
Mr. O'Callaghan clung to the good old
Irish jigs and were generously applaud
ed for their work In this line.
FIGHTING IN CHINA.
Anglo -German Force Success
fully Storm Tzching Pass.
London, Nov. 3. The Pall Mall Ga
zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch
from Ichow, dated October 28,' which
says heavy fighting has occurred in the
mountains on the Shan Si frontier. An
Anglo-German force of 1,500 men, com
manded by Col. Von Norman, stormed
Tzching Kung pass.
The Chinese occupied a strong posi
tion on , the crest and stubbornly re
sisted. They poured a hot enfilading
fire oil the advance party of 80 Ger
mans, under Major Von Forresteer, but
the British Bengal cavalry and mounted
sappers, dismounted, scaled the heights,
turned the enemy's flank and relieved
the Germans. ,

Robbers Wreck an Ohio Bank
With. Dynamite and Escape.
Bellefontalne, O., Nov. 3. The Farm
ers' and Merchants bank at Jackson
Center was blown open at 2 o'clock this
morning, and it is stated $5,600 was se
cured. Citizens aroused by the explo
sion poured into the streets only to be
driven in by heavily armed and masked
men, who escaped on a handcar over the
Ohio Southern railway.
River Steamer Sunk.
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 3. The steamer
Hill City, belonging to the Hill City
Steamboat company of St. Louis, and
plying between St. Louis and New Or
leans, struck a hidden obstruction in
Tennessee Chute just below the city at
1:30 o'clock this morning and sank.
The water covers the lower deck, but the
boat lies in a good position and can
easily be raised. The Hill City was en
route to New Orleans and had a full
cargo, 30 passengers and a crew of 40.
All got safely ashore in yawls.

DANGERS TAL
Young People Enthusiastic Oyer
Twentieth Century Ball.
Ladies Meet With Other Mem
bers of Committee.
OLD FATHER TIME.
He Will Ring Out the Century
and Ring in New.
Costume Question is Already
Causing Worry.
The Twentieth Century Inaugural
Fete will be a great success if the zeal
and enthusiasm aa displayed by the
members of the advisory board at their
meeting in the Commercial club rooms
ia a criterion.
One thing which stood out prtwnl
nently at the meeting was the fact that
a large perectnage of those present were
ladies. And when the ladies take hold
of an enterprise it may be set down as
a foregone conclusion that the affair
will be carried through to a successful
end.
Chairman George W. Crane opened the
meeting by explaining what had al
ready been accomplished by the ex
ecutive committee and outlined the work
for the future in a general way. He
said:
"Of course ifc should be understood
from the beginning that it will not be a
mask affair. On the contrary we want
to make this a costume ball, leaving oft
the objectionable features. Of course
this will not exclude the wearing of any
kind of headdress necessary to carry
out the idea of the dress of a certain
epoch. ,
"The scale of prices will probably be
from $2 to $3 for the privileges of the
first floor. Those who occupy seats in
the balcony to view the pretty spectacle
will probably pay 50 cents for the priv
ilege of sitting in either of the first three
rows and 25 cents for seats back of the
third row."
A suggestion which meets with favor
is the plan to use the old fire bell which
has fallen into disuse, when the new
year and the new century begin.
The bell may be painted in imitation
of the old Liberty bell, and placed on
the stage of the Auditorium.
Promptly at 12 o'clock, Major Tom
Anderson, typically attired as Father
Time, carrying his scythe and hour
glass, will come hobbling across the
stage and beat out the old year and ring
in the new century by striking the Dell
a dozen times, the hour, midnight.
This plan will be adopted and elabo
rated. Every one to whom it is told
eoes into ecstacies over it. The arrange
ment for the details of this plan will
come under the direction of the pro
gramme committee.
Dr. Henry Koby suggested giving a
pantomime of some of the situations in
Lonsrfellow's "Courtship of Miles Stand-
ish." The characters will be on the floor
in costume and could be drilled to go
through with the pantomime while some
one read passages from the poem.
Colonel Hughes suggested having the
minuet danced by from twelve to twenty
oounles.
The Virginia reel was suggested a3 a
wind-up to the ball by Miss iiiuen. i-aris-hurst.
The subject of costumes was discussed
at length. It was the opinion of some
that owing to the fact that other cities
were to have the century ball that it
would be difficult to secure costumes.
Another suggestion was to appoint a
committee of ladies who would make all
the costumes needed for pay.
However, these questions will come up
for final settlement at the meeting at
the Commercial club rooms next Wed
nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
"There is some doubt in the minds cf
the people," said Miss Edna Crane, "as
to the meaning of the statement of the
executive committee when they an
nounced that only costumes worn in
America since its discovery would be in
order.
"Some," she said, "have the Idea that
only the characters that are wholly
American are meant by the announce
ment. The Idea of the committee as I
understand it is to allow the fancy court
dress and the dress of those lower in
rank of those who came over to this
country from the time of its discovery In
1492 down until the present."
Chairman Crane asked of those pres
ent: "Who is there here who will not
serve on a committee when appointed?"
Not a. voice was heard and with a smil
ing face Mr. Crane said: "I am glad to
see that you all mean to do your best jn
helping make the Twentieth Century In
augural Fete a function which will be
the swellest ever given in Topeka."
John C. Waters suggested a refresh
ment committee. "It should be the most
important committee among the bunch,"
said he.
The committee adjourned to meet
Wednesday afternoon. In the meantime
following out. a suggestion made by A.
B. Quinton, all the members of the ad
visory board who know of others who
will help in the work will send the
names to either Major Anderson at the
Commercial club or to the chairman of
the executive committee, George W.
Crane.
The committee received a note from
Edward Wilder declining because of ab
sence from the city to serve on com
mittee. ACHENBACH DENIES.
Clay Center Postmaster Resents
Charge That He Favors Free Silver.
Clay Center iias more political trou
bles than any town of Its size in Kan
sas. The latest controversy has been
caused by the Populist charge that H. C.
Achenbach, postmaster, is for free silver
at 16 to 1, therefore, at heart, a Bryan
man holding office under McKinley. The
publication of this charge has aroused
the postmaster and his friends, who have
united in the following protest:
"This charge is utterly without foun
dation. There is no truth whatever in
it ,and it does Mr.Achenbach a great in
justice. He is in full accord with his
party on all questions."
