DURBAN, Nov. 22 (.10 p. m.">.— Owing
to the proximity of the Boers to Pieter
aru litzburg it has been necessary tc alter
:he defense of Durban. Estcourt is still
lilent.
All accounts point conclusively t<> a de
termined rush of the Boers towards Pie
trrrnarltzburg with a very large force.
Several thousand men with guns are re
ported twenty-five miles from Howick.
They are said to be .inder the personal
coii'mand of Gen. Joubert.
Todays engagement at Mool river
found Uie British almost wholly on the
defensive. A correspondent of the Natal
Adviser says the Boer shells fell' within
a short distance of the British troops; |
that the shells did little damage; that
the shelling continued all day, at inter
vals of three to five minutes.
According to this advice the Boers are
advancing rapidly and under cover where
possible. The British artillery was in po
sition behind the hotel where Gen. Bar
ton and his staff are being accommo
dated.
Maj. Thornycroft's mounted artillery
moved along a ridge to the enemy's left
funk. The Devonshire regiment and the
Royal Welsh fusileers occupied the
trenches. There was but little firing,
the correspondent Bays, but the enemy
possessed at least one Howitzer, with a
range of five miles, and several six
pounders.
Prince Christian has been appointed to
the staff of Gen. Percy Scott, the Durban
commander.
ALARM IN NATAL.
LONDON. Nov. 23.— Although it
Is evident that the situation
In Natal is again becoming su'fi-'
ciently alarming, nothing can be officially
ascertained to allay pub.ic anxiety or the
curiosity felt regarding the disposl.ion of
reinforcements recently landed at Dur
ban. The war office dispatches are con- j
fined to a mere recital of a few casualties ]
at Mooi river, which confirm the reports |
cf skirmishes there, but give no details as
to how the engagements happened. Sps
cial correspondents are only permitted to |
describe Maj. Barton's camp at Mooi
river vaguely as "large," or "ample."
One correspondent says that 7.000 Boers
are within twenty-five miles of Uowick
Falls, near Pietermaritzburg, and that
the inhabitants are fleeing to the capital.
Evidently a considerable fores of the en
emy is now within thirty or forty mi es
of Pietermaritzburg. but it is officially
announced from there that no anxiety
prevails, the garrison numbering 1,000
men. with six guns.
Gen. Joubsn's plan, apparently, is a
daring attempt to defear the British re
lieving column from Durban in detail,
while still attempting the reduction of
Ladysmith. A serious attack on Mo >I
river camp is now hourly expected, with
the object of destroying the bridge at
Weston, Should this b? accomplished the
Boers would b.- free to turn their atten
tion again to Estcourt, while, if it failed,
the enemy would retire again on Weenen
or rejoin vh.~ investing forces around Lh
dysmith.
The Boer report that Gen. Hildyard's
messenger, asking Gen. White for as
sistance, was captured causes some un
easiness, but It Is argued that if Gen
Hlldyard had not bf>en strong enough to
hold out he would some time ago have
been obliged to retire on Pieterrharitz
bnrg. Therefore, small credence is given
the- story.
Nothing is known regarding the food
supplies of the garrisons thus isolated
It '.s believed Estcourt is well provided
but there is less confidence In the case of
Mool river.
There I? no further news from the west
ern frontier except the list of casualty.
It is announced frnm Paris that Coi de
ViHeboia Mareuil, a French officer has
accepted the post of chief of staff to
Gen. Joubert. In succession to Col
Sf-hiele, the general officer who was
v.ounded and taken prisoner at Eland*
lacgte. From the same source It is re
ported that two Russian officers Lieut
Col. Gonetski, of the guards, and Gen'
Seltse, of another crack Russian regi
ment, have resigned and are going to
join the Boers.
A dispatch tc the Daily News from Not
tingham Road, Natal, dated Tuesday.
bi ys the Boers have arrived near there.
RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY.
The Daily Mail publishes a dispatch
from Nauuwpoort. dated Wednesday
which says that a large force under Gan
Metheun has creased the Orange river
and is advancing to the relief of Kimb-r
--ley.
The- Pally Mail says this morning:
"We are able to confirm the report that
orders i hare been issued to mobilize a
fixth division at Aldershot for service in
SouOj Africa, or wherever it may be
wanted."
The Morning Post's correspondent at
Pi. terniaritzburar telegraphing Tue«dav
evening says:
"The Boers arc now all around Mooi
Ki\-cr station, where anotfier of your cor
respondents is reported tc be with the
tl'eops.
LOOTING THE FARMSTEADS.
The Daily News has the following from
Pietermaritzburs-, under Wednesdav'a
date:
"Vuur correspondent managed to escape
from the Mooi River district yesterday
before the arrival of 6,000 Boers, who ar«
looting- the farmsteads in all directions"
The native Boers, encouraged by the suc
cess <>f the Transvaai^rs, join in the loot
ing. Th-? main body of Boers made a
rapid march from Ulundi, southwest of
IJetcnurt. to a point near Fort Notting
ham, south of the railway, in a single
day. Th-3y are within forty miles of
Plctermaritsburg, at the farthest, and it
is said that they intend to attack the
town."
FUTURE OF FREE STATE.
LONDON. Nov. 22. -Sir Charles Dilke
M. P. for the Forest of Dean division of
Gloucestershire, speaking at Chelsea this
evening said:
"When the British forces enter Bloem
fcnteia some declaration regarding the
fty %l i*ml fbk
future will have to be made. If the peace
to be offered la one In which Cape Colony
can concur, the Free State government
will abandon the violent element in the
Transvaal forces.
"The settlement. In order to pacify
South Africa, as Canada has been paci
necl, must be a settlement in which the
constitutional position of Cape Colony
and Natal must play the leading part.
The big guns and forts must be got rid

BRITISH SORTIE CHECKED.
PRETORIA, Nov. 21.— The following
dispatch has been received from Boer
headquarters near Ladysmith:
"The field cornets of the Pretoria com.
mando reported that British gun car
riages and some horsemen had been heard
moving last night at Ladysmith. Our
outposts observed the British endeavor
ing to sortie towards Lombard's Kop and
Bulawama hill, where our Maxims opened
fire. The range was too great and, there,
fore, our artillery began shelling, which
drove the British back. About daybreak
the. British batteries fired upon our po
sitions. Two burghers were wounded. It
is supposed that the object of the sortie
was to relieve the Estcourt force, who
had sent an urgent message to Ladysmi-h
requesting aid. The burghers captured
the messenger, but finally allowed him
to proceed."
It is reported that the Natal police have
captured a number of Trarevaal dispatch
riders. In his latest report Gen. Joubert
says:
"I am cutting off the retreat of the
Estcourt troop 3to Pletermaritzburg and
driving them back on the Tugela river."
It is reported that the B^er commander
with the forces near Ladys-nith "compre
hensively surveyed the different points
from which the fall of Ladysmith can be
Insured."

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. - John Hays
Hammond, who became prominent dur
ing the Jameson raid in the Transvaal,
and is well known from the responsible
position he holds in connection with min
ing enterprises in various parts of the
f world, arrived here on the White Star
j steamship Teutonic with his wife today.
i Mr. Hammond expressed himself as very
grateful for the kind interest shown by

Mr. Hammond was in the best of health! j
He said he was very glad to get back to

AMERICAN WOMAN'S PLIGHT.
HENDERSON, Xy. Nov. 22. - Mrs. '
Nancy Huston Banks, formerly of this ■
city, the essayist and novelist, is at pres
ent the guest of Cecil Rhodes, in the be
leaguered city of Kimberley, South Af- I
rica. She is there a.* the correspondent
of a London paper, and is in company
With Miss Amalie Kussner, of New York. |
All of these persons are on starvation j
rations. Mrs. Bank? succeeded in getting ;
the only message out of Kimberley. Her I
father, Judge George Huston, of Mor-
Kanfield, is en route to Washington, D.
j <'•• lo h# y e the department tcke steps
for his daughter's safety. Mrs. Banks,

woman, and is the author of a number
of books.
MR. MACRUM AND THE BOERS.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.— United States
Consul Mac-rum, at Pretoria, has asked
j the state department for leave of ab
sence with permission to take advantage
of It at once. He pleads domestic rea- I
sons for leaving his post. «nd offers to I
place in the consulate as the representa-
I tlve of the United State Vice Consul
Attelbury, who is on the ground. The
department, however, refused to accede
to the request, and Mr. Macrum wilf
stay where he Is unless he sees fit to
quit his post without permission. It is
learned that so far Mr. Macrum has not
j been prohibited by the Boer government
; from caring for the welfare of the- Brit
ish subjects now in the Transvaal and
I the Free State, or, at least he has not I
!so notified the state department. There
; has been some friction encountered in
! the efforts of the Britlsh>governrnent to
secure permission fur the United States
consul to disburse funds for the benefit
of the Fritish soldiers held as prisoners
of war.
FOR RELIEF OF BOERS.
NEW YORK. Nov. 22.— A company, with
John V. Pruyn, of Albany, as chairman,
was originated in this cliy today to as
sist Red Cross work in the South African
republics, especially within the Boer lin P s.
The committee is in no way allied with
the American Red Cross society. The or
ganization was brought about on the sug
gestion of an Englishman who made
j known the poor facilities of the Boers
for caring for their sick, wounded and
! dead. If sufficient funds are sent to the
committee, the families of the Boer dead
I and wounded will be assisted. It is the
intention of the committee to send all
the money to the Netherlands Red
Cross, which is in the field and needs all
the assistance It can get.

QUIET RESTORED.
Xo Fear of Further Trouble at Rio
Grande City.
AUSTIN. Tex., Nov. 22.-Ther c are no
new developments anent the race trouble
at Rio Grande City between the federal
negro soldiers and the population of 'hat
town. Early this morning Gov. Sayers
received a telegram from the sheriff at
Rio Grande City stating that everything
was quiet there.
Secretary of War Root telegraphed that
he had sent eVperienoed officers to the
scene of the trouble to make a thorough
and proper ifvesTigatlon, and pending
their report he trusted the people would
remain quiet.
The population of Rio Grande City is
rargely Mexican, and it is believed that
bad blood has existed betwepn them and
the negro soldiers for some time.
Pending a fujl and complete report
from the state adjutant general- and war
officers nothing further will be done In
the matter by Gov. Sayers. He expects
the report from the adjutant general

We "are met to rejoice over the unexpact

tinguished citizens, where he was an
honored representative at that convention
that is the first step in bringing about an
era when there will be njth.ng but 'Peaca
on earth and good will to man.' We wel
come him not only because he Is a great
i dignitary of a church which has had a
'■ powerful influence in the civilization of
i the world, but because he is a citizen of
! St. Paul and our friend and our neigh
j bor."
Mayor Kiefer extended a welcome on
i behalf of the city government ar.d was

saiU:
A PLEASANT DUTY.
My Dear Archbishop Ireland Tour fel
i low townsmen have chosen me on ihis
pleasing occasion to tell you w T hat they
think of you. and 1 assure you they
could not have imposed a more agre —
■ able duty upon me. Many of us nay«
known you since you were a boy fre?h.
from Burnchurch. in the famous Irish
county of Kilkenny, and we well knew
your good father before you. We have
watched your career from 'youth to early
manhood, through all the phases of
I student life, priest, soldier, citizen and
| bishop, until you have readied almost the
< highest pinnacle of your profession. We
i have been deeply interested in your early
i struggle with the cure in intemperance,
j and shared with you your triumph over
that evil. We have sympathized with
| you In your efforts to aid the poor set
i tiers on the frontier to find homes. We
I witnessed with pride your departure for
! the front as the spiritual adviser of one
; of our gallant regiments in the Civil war,
i and felt assured that had it been in
, harmony with your priestly uniform,
you would have had a musket on your
1 shoulder, or a sword by your side. We
have been captivated by your eloquence,
and have profited by your wisdom on
, countless occasions. We saw with pride
j your opposition to the introduction of
Cahensleyism into this country, because
it conflicted with our ideas of the best
citizenship, and the highest progress of
our country. We have followed you in
your advocacy of "Americanism" in your
church and have rejoiced in the success
ful outcome of your endeavors in that
line, against the opposition of nearly all
Europe, the result of which has been to
convince the pope in Rome, the Catholics
of France, and the Protestants in Ameri
ca that the Catholic church can exict In
perfect harmony and unity in the most
liberal republic in the world.
Our domestic relations with you as a
fellow cieizen of the state and town
have always been of the most cordial
nature, as we have ever found you on
the side of right, toleration and exalted
patriotism.
The fame of states and cities does not
wholly depend upon bricks and mortar
wealth and culture. These elements form
their corporal bodies. but- citizens of
character, worth and patriotism, with
broad and world embracing ideas, whose
lives are devoted to the well being of
their fellowmen. constitute their souls,
which live forever. I am proud to say
my dear bishop, that it is the general
sentiment of your fellow citizens that the
world-wide fame which Minnesota and
St. Paul enjoy is largely the result of the
possession by you of so great a share ef
these enviable attributes, and your *ren
eroug exertion of them in the cause of
liberty, toleration and righteousness.
At the conclusion of Judge Flandrau's
address Bishop •M. N. GllUert was in
troduced. He Bald In part:
BISHOP GILBERTS TRIBUTE.
"This Is an event motaentouß and sig
nificant in the experience of the city of
St. Paul. As a cltl«en who ha a livea here
for nearly twenty ye;ars I know that
Archbishop Ireland is fully in sympathy
with everything that enter? into tha wel
fare of the city and of the state. We
are brothers, working hand in hand for
the uplifting of this city in the way of
righteousness and morality. Archbishe»p
Ireland would be a leader for righteous
ness in any city on the face of the earth.
We honor him because he is known to
us and because we respect him and his
motives. He is not only a prominent cit
izen of St. Paul, but a prominent citizen of
the nineteenth century."
M. D. Munn extended a welcome on
behalf of the Commercial club and was
followed by Archbishop Ireland, who was
greeted with applause. He said:
THE ARCHBISHOPS REPLY.
Friends and Fellow Citizens:" As my
friends and fellow ciiisens, you greet me
as your friend and fellow citizen I thank
you. I am deeply moved by the words
addressed to me in the name of so many
of the citizens of St. Paul, and of other
towns of the state of Minnesota Not to
appreciate the value of this evening's
manifestation, not to experience by it the
tnrill of joyous gratitude, would argue
1 tM. m , me is not a mind t0 apprehend
nobaity and generoatty of thought and
action in fellow man; that mine is not a
heart to soften beneath the warmth of
kindness, to vibrate In response to the
touch of disinterested friendship
While I journeyed through foreign lands
it was my fortune to receive not infre
quently from distinguished assemblages
tokens of favor and of good will, of
which the sweet memory will never de
part from me. But nowhere was the as
semblage so dear to me, as the present
one, nowhere so full of significance and
of promise.
This evening's gathering speaks for my
home— for St. Paul and Minnesota The
voice of home has for the soul a charm
which that of no other land can possess;
for there, as nowhere else, are the
treasured results of our life work and
the endearments of our heart. And if
there Is in words of commendation a
substance that we may priz?, whether as
a comforting- sign that past years have
not been spent altogether in vain, or as
an inspiration of encouragement to do
well in the future, the commendation
given In our home has more value than
that g'ven in other lands, inasmuch as it
comes from those who are In a better
position to speak with due regard for the
facts. And where, ts in our own home,
can tokens and promises of friendship
be so precious? For it is in our home
where our years are to be spent and the
ills and pains of life are to be met, that
friendship's cheer bears sweetest fruit.
One is fortunate to live in a communi
ty where the citizens are generous
enough to speak to a fellow citizen words
of friendly approval. It is a proverb
no man is a prophet In his own country.
Near neighbors know our shortcomings,
no tess than our good qualities. It Is al
most inherent in human nature to give
so much attention to the shortcomings
that no time is left to see the good
Qualities. Such evidently. Is not the cas«
in St. Paul or Minnesota; here men are
large-minded and
LARGE-HEARTED.
They see others at their best; they p^ss
lightly over defects ff th*y at all notice
them, and give praise wherever there ap
pears to be room for praise. If a man
is not a prophet in St. $ Paul the fault
is his own, not that of 'his fellow citi
zens.
I cannot but wish for my own «ake
and for that of those whom it is my
privilege to serve _that a4l thar has been
said of me this evening' were as true
as friendly hearts have persuaded friend
ly tongues to declare. How-ever much a
man is known by his fellow citizens, he
is known best of. all by. himself. While
listening- to your affectionate word.- I
must in truth see in them rather what
I have Btriven to be than>«what I actually
have been. They are, however, spoken
to a purpose, for they trill spur me to
renewed efforts bo that in the future I
may be in Bpeoeh and *ct less distant
from the standard set before^ me than
may have been the case in the past.
So much is certainly true: I have ar
dently loved my city, my- state, my coun
try; I have always deemed it my urgent
duty to do whatever was possible for the
benefit of my fellow citizens, without
distinction of creed or race. The min
ister of a church whose principles and
laws are for me inviolable, to the spiritual
welfare of whose children I am pledged
by my ordination vov;s, I have never
believed that I must not see in men out
side the ranks of that church, my fellow
men and my brothers. I have never be
lieved that it is not my solemn duty to
spend myself and be spent for men in
the fullest outpour of ray soul's energies.
For me humanity is the mark of man's
brotherhood, and to its Remotest frontier
humanity receives my ltove. Nor have I
held the doctrine that a minister of re
ligion is I'mlted in his work for men to
strictly spiritual affairs' To me religion
embraces the whole roan, and the whole
world— it is as Catholic as the divine love
which it aims to apply to the world.
While, if you wish, nry primary field is
the strictly spiritual. I hold that, ft in
a lesser, siill In ■as true a sense, my
rightful lield la th^ whole range of hu
man interests— morn!, intellectual, so
cial and oven material. Being a Catholic
and a bishop, I do not cease to be a man
and a citizen; aye, as such I should be
the more thoroughly the man and the
<itizen.
PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN CHARITY.
It is a notable feature of this atisem
blaye, that while I am'- .a bishop of the
Catholic church, and profess myself the
sternest upholder of its teachings. I am
greeted by fellow citbtena and friends
the greater part, of whom are non-Catho
lics, and that ©4?e of the distinguished
gentlemen who has. just addressed me
is a high-stationed prelate of a Protes
tant church. We have learned the great
lessons of practical Christian charity
?^ f L. of Practical Am^Hcan citizenship.

the late vice president will be held at
the Church of the Redeemer, Paterson,

the church is entirely inadequate, it will
be necessary that seats be reserved for
the various national, state and local offi

the fanniy. It is, therefore, impossible
to provide for the general public until
various officials, representatives and

DEB MOIKEB, Nov. 22,-Four hundred
and fifty redskins at the Sac and Fox
Indian reservation, i n Tama county are
ready to .tart on the warpath with' rlfl,
and tomahawk.
I. E. Wllcox, of Montour, wag in con
sultation with Judge Oliver P. Shiras
of the federal court here, today, end said
that It waa only because of his personal
lnterces S1O n that the Indians had been
prevented from making an assault on the
people of Tama City and Toledo to
aveng© themselves for alleged wrongs in
flicted by the Indian agent.
Mr. Wilcox finally arranged with Judge
Bhiras to go to Cedar Rapids and there
We a petition for habeas corpus for the
release of an Indian girl, aged eighteen,
confined in the government Indian train
ing school, at Toledo, for a month. Mr
W llcox returned to his home tonight as
suring the officials that he will be 'able
to control' the Indians as long as the
courts have the controversy in hand
The woman In the caae is Lelah-Puch-
Ka-che and B h e is married. Her hua
band is Ta-Ta-Pi-Ch*. They w fc re mar.
ried when she was seventeen, according
to Indian dates, the Sac and Fox Indians
being permitted to marry on reserva
tions according to tribal custom*. When
the training school was established by
the government at Toledo, Indian Agent
W. Q. Malm sent out an order for all
Indian children under eighteen to enroll
In the school. The Indians refused and
hid their- children. The girl in question
was taken into another county and en
rolled in a school near Belle Pi-ains.
INDIAN GIRL ABDUCTED.
An Indian interpreter was charged with
helping children to escape from the res
ervation, and on the trial the state sum
moned the woman in thi.s case as a wit
ness. Mr. Wilcox Induced her parents
and husband to accompany her lntc court
at Tama City. The Interpreter was dis
charged, but the Indian agent and Supt.
G. N. Xellis, of the school, seized the
girl, took her away from her husband
by force, and, conveying her to the In
dian school building, confined her there.
She had been detained in a ror.m there
since the Ist of the month. It Is for her
release that Mr. Wilcox now seeks a
writ of habeas corpus. The husband is
nominally the plaintiff, find the claim is
made that the government has nu right
to force Indians to go *o school, and in
this cast? may have no right to detain a
married woman.
More than 360 of the Indiana have re
fused to accept their government pay for
more than a year on account of this con
troversy with- the government, and on
account of other complaints, one of which
relate? to the opening of rods through
the reservation, it being claimed by them
that the roads have been cut diagonally
across the land, without compensation,
and not following section lines.
