Continental Report! of a Fresh Dis aster It Is Thought Possible Relarey flay Have Attacked Urenfell's Column British Determination Strengthened London, March 11. The war secre tary, Mr. Brodrlck, when asked in the , House of Commons to-day what steps ! had been taken, in view of the success i of the Boera against General Methuen, : to send Lord Kitchener reinforcement", sfl.ld that 6,000 yeomanry would bo im mediately embarked, with large drafts of cavalry and infantry. Lord Kitch , ener would be given all the assistance he asked for. The reports from the continent that the defeat .of General Methuen was fol lowed up by another fight, also favora ble to the Boers, occasion some anxiety owing to the absence of news from Gen eral Grenfell's column of 1,300 men. which left Klerksdorp to join General Methuen. It is thought that possibly General Delarey may have attacked Grenfell. Expressions of steadfastness have to day succeeded those of humiliation which were universally heard here yes terday on t,he publication of the news of General Methuen's disaster. There is little disposition to minimize the in cident, but everywhere is heard and read the determination to maintain the tradition that blows serve to strength en and stiffen British resolution. Lord Rosebery sitruck the popular note to-day In a speech before the Glas gow students. He admitted that it was heartbreaking after all the expenditure of life, time and money, but added: "It will not dishearten us. We have got to see this thing through. We must take the blows which fortune deals us with equanimity, Fhowing our selves worthy of better fortune." Lord Rosebery expressed the hope that more prosperous times were In store, and that In the future "It would be our proud memory that when our country passed through the storm ,we did not for a moment flinch and were not for an Instant dismayed." OHITTTAKT KOTIiS. GERMAN SYMPATHY FOR ENGLAND. DELIGHTFUL EVENING. Musicale at the New Hnven Home of Georg-e Goodwin.

Mr. and Mrs. George Clark, Mr. Mallett, Mrs. Pike and Miss Bosworth, organist at Plymouth and the First church; Miss Gardner, Miss Cornwall and others. A delightful evening was spent, th; time being occupied in listening to mu sical selections from many of thp in vited guests. There jvere also a num ber of delightful recitations. Dainty refreshments were served. An Expression Remarkable for It Friendliness by Baron von Rlcbthofen in the Prussian Diet. Berlin, March 11.' In the Pruss'an Diet to-day the foreign secretary, Bar on von Rlchthofen, after reading the answer of the Bitish government per mitting the delivery of German charita ble gifts to the Boers in the South Afri can concentration camps under the sur veillance of the camp authorities, de clared that the reply guaranteed a just distribution, and added: "The English and German nations are connected by ties of blood, race and friendship. They are cousins, who may again And themselves side by side. Gen eral Methuen deserves our complete sympathy. As the military attache to the British embassy in Berlin he enjoy ed the esteem of Emperors William and Frederick." The sacrifices that Great Britain had made In blood and treasure, sild the foreign secretary, made it only human ly natural that her susceptibilities should grow more acute. Every harsh word was doubly felt by her. Ei-ery friendly address was accepted with double gratitude. If the members of the diet wished to secure the co-operation of the British In helping the Boers they must abstain from provoking Great Britain's susceptibility. There was need of a somewhat more just mode of criticism, of a somewhat more equitable adjustment of light and shade. He added: "Tf we feel ourselves more than cous ins' kin to England we shall be able 'th? more effectively to help our comirion cousins in South Africa. Let us not al ways assume that everything d"n hy the English is wrong and bad. I imy quote an example. T hive read decep tions of the prisoners' camps which made my hair stand on end. A few days ago General von Trotha. who from his own experience was in a position to report on the matter, was at my house. He said to me: 'I consider it my duty, and authorize you to use my name, to declare that I found the prisoners' camps in Ceylon to be perfect mode's. The former German officers In the camps had only a single complaint that there was not sufficient variety of food.' "In my opinion the dignity of the na tion would not have suffered derogation If It had displayed some human sympa thy as. for Instance, yesterday, when the news came of the severe wounding of General Methuen. With proper con sideration for national feeling it will be possible to make further progress in th direction desired by the Boer relief committee." The foreign secretary concluded with saying that no obsequiousness was needed on the part of Germany, whose policy was conducted with the object of pleasing the German people and no one else. But, he believed that the lines he had laid down might be fol lowed without any relinquishment of German views In regard to the war it self. "Let us do what we can in the way of services to humanity," said the sec retary, "and then, perhaps, we can go further. 1 Perhaps we shall be able, without drawing upon ourselves a sharp rebuff, to address ourselves as cousins to our cousins on the other side of the channel and speak a good word for our mutual cousins, the Boers." A TEAMSTER'S BAD FALL. NO TRACE OF BURGLARS YET.

THE LATE CAPTAIN FRFD STRIRY The sad news of the suicide of Cap tain Frederick Strlby, at the block, 8S2 State street, near Humphrey street, announced in our yesterday's Issue, was a shock to the many friends of the de ceased. The sad act was due no doubt to despondency caused by 111 health and consequent lack of employment. He had suffered much from asthma and heart trouble. His family had no pre monition that he had any intention of taking his own life, and his wife was terribly shocked over the deplorable event. Medical Examiner Bnrtlctt was notified immediately after the shooting and made no investigation, deciding that it, was a case of suicide. In his death New Hnven loses one of its most respected and esteemed German-Amer ican residents. Mr. Strlby took his usual walk Monday in the neighborhood and exchanged greetings with Ills neighbors, among whom he was well known and liked. Returning to. his home, 882 State street, he said he felt about the wme as usual and retired early. He was a veteran of the civil war, enlisting In Co. C, Sixth C. V.

On Monday the deceased received a notification from the Washington pension office that he had been granted a pension In recognition of his faithful service and he was receiving the congratulations of his many friends. Mr. Strlby was a loving father and husband, and the family had done all In their power to relieve his sufferings.

There are lots of dollar gloves in the American market. Almost every large store has one of its own. They pass under different names, but, almost without exception, they all come from Germany and are made from lambskin. The MONOGRAM, glove is one of a different sort. It is also a lambskin glove, but of a peculiar ana carefully selected grade. A lambskin of the MONOGRAM'S quality is far-ard away better than anytning except a first-class kid. It is by the quality of the skin used, and the fitting quality given by its careful cut that the MONO GRAM has earned its title of "THE BEST GLOVE SOLD FOR A DOLLAR IN AMERICA." VARIOUS 7 7 ..!.

A party of timber-land dealers just in from the mountains some twenty miles out from Gate City report that cougars are very numerous in that section. The woods are literally full of them, and they are frequently seen during the day, and also the blood-wtalned snow in many places shows where they have killed deer. But the worst feature of the brutes 1 their habit, common to the feline races, of caterwauling at night. A pair' of these animals growling and fighting in the back yard of one's camp all night is no joke. The party wae composed of eight men, all accustomed to life in the woods, but, they say, were never so badly frightened before In all their woodland experience as they were during their last trip. Their hair stood erect and the blood congealed as the murderous cougars "fit and fit and (scratched and bit and struggled in the mud, till all the ground for miles around wae covered with their blood." Deer are becoming plentiful in the mountains again, and the cougar is living high and feeling good-. Morning Oregonian.
