British Take Boer Position.
Following Up the Victory at Glencoe They Carry
Elandslaagte—Squadron of Hussars Missing. Boers
Lost Heavily. Nine Hundred Killed at Battle of
Glencoe.
The battle of Smith Hill and the fierce pur-
suit and slaughter of the routed and fleeing
Boers ended late Friday night. The Hussars
and the light artillery followed the defeated
Burghers in their retreat toward the north-
east, in the direction of Newcastle, until
dark, and the route was marked by the
bodies of dead and wounded Boers and by
arms and equipments strewn everywhere.
Rarely has a fiercer battle been fought
than that for the possession of Smith Hill,
and considering the comparatively small
number of troops engaged—4000 British
and 9000 Boers—the casualties were unusu-
ally heavy. No accurate estimates can be
made of the Boer losses, but they are plac-
ed at 900 men, and this is considered a con-
servative estimate by British officers in the
camp here.
The English loss were thirty-one officers
and men killed and 151 wounded. One
general, two colonels, three captains and 5
lieutenants were killed, and a colonel three
majors, six captains, and ten lieutenants
were wounded.
This heavy loss among the officers was
due to their daring in exposing themselves
to the fire of the Boer sharpshooters.
Among the rank and file the Hussars had
seven wounded, the artillery, one killed
and three wounded ; the Leicester Regiment
one wounded; the King’s Rifles, eleven
killed and sixty-eight wounded; the Irish
Fusileers, fourteen killed and thirty wound-
ed; the Dublin Fusileers, four killed and
forty-one wounded, and the Natal police, 2
wounded.
It must be understood that they did not
suffer all this loss in one or two hours of
fighting. The opening shots of the battle
were fired at daybreak, shortly after five
o’clock and it was the fiercest kind of fight-
ing until 1:30 o'clock in the atternoon—
over eight hours. Even then the pursuit
of the fleeing Boers until nightfall was a
running fight, for the Boers made frequent
but ineffectual attempts to rally and beat
off the Hussars.
When the battle began yesterday the Eng-
lish were prepared to meet the Boers. It was
no surprise. They knew the Boars’ every
movement. After a week of slow crawl-
ing through Laing’s Neck the enemy, after
capturing Charlestown, Newcastle and oth-
er abandoned towns on the way, massed
at Dannhauser and prepared to attack the
troops.
General Sir William Penn Symons, in
command of the British at Glencoe and Dun-
dee, got ready for them. He moved his
camp to a point midway between the two
towns, so as to he ina position to profecs
both.
The Boers moved down Thursday to Hat-
tingspruit, on the railway, seven miles
north of Glencoe, cautiously feeling their
way along. They were more than double
the Englishbut not a man in the camp
felt the least fear of the result of the forth-
coming fight. Thursday night was a busy
one. An attack was certain at daylight.
Scouts informing that the Boers were in
great force with a dozen cannon. General
Symons made a thorough inspection of the
troops, ammunition and intrenchments,
ready for any kind of an attack. The men
were enthusiastic and eager for battle.
All during Thursday there had been lit-
tle skirmishes and feints along the outposts
which ceased at nightfall. The men were
given a good supper and ordered to sleep
on their arms. The pickets were doubled
and every precaution was taken against a
surprise auring the night.
The night offered the Boers the needed
opportunity of getting in to what they con-
sidered an almost impossible position. They
chose the Smith Hill, which is a steep rise
about 5400 yards from the British camp.
The ground along the hill is an open roll-
ing stretch on which there is no cover for
troops advancing to attack. Up this hill
General Joubert’s forces dragged their can-
non and placed them so as to command our
camp.
At daybrake the expectant troops saw a
puff of smoke in the hill top, and a few
seconds latter heard the boom of a gun.
The Boers bad begun the battle.
The shot fell short. They had not got
the range. They tried it again, but their
shots failed to reach. The shells were ex-
ploding some distance away.
Then the English began to return the
fire. They soon found the range and did
more effective work than the light field
pieces of the Boers. This artillery duel be-
came hotter and hotter, as the minutes
sped and lasted for an hour.
The batteries did splendid work. In tke
last half hour of the firing they succeeded
in silencing several of the cnemy’s guns.
The Boer practice soon becoming better,
led General Symons to determine to sally
out and eet them on their cwn ground.
The force consisted of the Thirteenth, Six-
ty-seventh and Sixty-ninth Field Batteries
and Eighteen Hussars, the Natal mounted
volunteers, the first battalion of the Leices-
tershire Regiment, the First (King’s Own)
Rifles, the Second DublinFusileers and sev-
eral companies of irregular mounted infan-
try and the field hospital corps.
The troops began to make ready for the
attack. The weather was fine and clear
sun was shining brightiy,and it was warm.
The men cast aside their heavy clothing,
for they had hot work ahead.
The Boer army, massed on the hill, was
sheltered behind a slope from our artillery
fire, but as soon as they saw the prepara-
tions to advance they formed in extended
line of battle.
Under the cover of a heavy artillery fire
our troops marched out of the camp. The
King’s Rifles and the Dublin Fusiliers led
the way in extended order. The dash
across the plains was deadly. The Boer
volleys of musketry swept through the
ranks, but the men kept on without flinch-
ing. The enemy’s musketry fire raked the
lines; great gaps were made in the ranks of
the fusiliers and the riflers, but they did not
waver. Step by step they advanced to-
ward the base of the hill.
Our cavalry swept around the flanks and
the infantry made dashes, dropping to the
ground to avoid the volleys from the Boers.
Gradually the foot of the hill was gained.
As our men reached the hill the artillery
ceased firing for fear of hitting the British,
«nd hastened forward to secure a better po-
sition. General Symons was close behind
his men, inspiring them with courage.
Then began the brilliant charge up the
hill. It was tremendously hot work.
The roar of the musketry and artillery was
incessant. Up the steep slope went our
men, the wild Irish Fusiliers leading.
Nothing could stop them. The charge was
magnificent. The men swarmed over the
summit and fell upon the Boers.
In the face of a murderous fire the troops
' for superior court judge came to me, as
were on them with a yell and a hurrah.
The fusiliers were the first to break through
the enemy’s lines on the crest of the hill
and the first to capture a gun from the
Boers since the war began.
Then began a fierce hand to hand strug-
gle on the summit of the hill. The enemy |.
fought valiantly and desperately, but they
were no match for our trained and harden-
ed fighters. The Boers gradually gave
way. Their lines began to waver and they
broke and fled, leaving the strong battery
of artillery which they had mounted on
the crest of the hill behind them.
The battleseemed won. The Boers were
routed ; they were fleeing down the hill in
disorder. Their officers tried to rally
them. Finally they succeeded, and the
line was again formed and turned to face
our men.
Here General Symons fell, shot in the
stomach, and was carried off the field fatal-
ly wounded. Yule assumed command.
The Hussars galloped around the sides
of the hill and attempted to outflank the
enemy. Finally one battery of artillery,
the Eighteenth Hussars, and the mounted
infantry with a part of the Leicester Regi-
ment, got on the enemy’s flank, and the
Boers found their retreat had been cut off,
but they still were fighting desperately.
The final rush was made with a trium-
phant yell and asthe British troops charged
the Boers turned and fled, leaving all their
equipments and guns hehind them, and
the fighting went on briskly for two hours.
At last, at 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon,
the Boers gave way at all points and fled, a
disorganized, terror-stricken rabble, in the
direction of Newcastle. The rout was as
complete as possible. As the Boers fled
northeast to get across the Buffalo River
they were hotly pursued by our light
artillery and the Hussars. The slaughter
was fearful, and prisoners were taken at
every step. The enemy even then made
several attempts to stand, but our artillery
poured in a hot fire, and the Hussars
charged them repeatedly and drove them
on with ever increasing carnage.
Night set in and with it came a drench-
ing rain, adding to the horrors of the re-
treat. It was a frightful sight for the
wounded, who were lying all along the
route from the hilltop.
Our hospital corps did valiant service,
and all cur wounded were brought into
camp and were being cared for hefore the
rain set in. The Boers have abaudoned
Hatting’s Pruitt, and there was not a sign
of the enemy all day. Our wounded are
doing well.
Josep 8. DUNN.
Josiah R. Adams has Withdrawn.
From the Republican State Ticket—He Sent a Letter
to Chairman Frank Reeder. The Sequel of an At-
tack fade Upon Adams by the North American is
His Withdrawal from the Republican State Ticket.
His Resignation was Decided Upon at a Conference
Held Thursday Afternoon.
Josiah R. Adams, of Philadelphia, who
was nominated by the Republican state
convention last August as a candidate for
judge of the superior court, Thursday
night sent a letter to General Frank
Reeder, chairman of the Republican
state committee, withdrawing frem the
ticket. The following is a copy of the
letter :
LETTER TO REEDER.
“General Frank Reeler, Chairman Republican Siate
Committee :
“My Dear Siz—7The honor of the nomination
vou
know, unsought and unexpected.
“I accepted that nomination with the greatest
pride. The emoluments of the office were no in-
ducement to me, but the opportunity of single
devotion to a beloved profession and the honer of
high oflice were extremely alluring. I have been
attacked by political opponents and have answer-
ed the attack in the only way that the best friend-
ly, professional and political advisers deemed
adequate. I can, before election day, in no furth-
er way diminish the effect of that attack, which
must, therefore, influence voters adversely to the
ticket if T remain thereon.
“I have no right to let my own ambition impede
my party's success, and, while I have no doubt of
election if I stand, I should not enjoy victory hy
a lessened party vote, nor would I endure a
judicial seat in any court where the hunblest suitor
at the bar doubts my integrity.
“I, therefore, decline the nomination for judge
of the superior court. Very respectfally.
Josian R. Apams.”
SEQUEL OF ATTACK.
Mr. Adams’ withdrawal is the sequel of
an attack made upon him by a Philadel-
phia morning newspaper. Mr. Adams was
charged by the paper with being the presi-
dent of corporations which are alleged to
have swindled many persons in Pennsyl-
vania and other states. The newspaper
continued the attacks and Mr. Adams was
urged by newspapers of both of the big
parties and his friends to answer the
charges. Yesterday he issued a long state-
ment in answer to the accusation, which
he branded as being ‘‘absolutely false.”
He did not deny his connection with the
alleged swindling concerns, but positively
asserted that he had no knowledge that
they were other than legitimate enter-
prises and that when complaints reached
him of questionable transaction from agents
of the company, he immediately withdrew
from all connection with the concerns.
Mr. Adams’ withdrawal was decided up-
on at a conference held late Thursday
in the office of Director of Public Safety
English, in the city hall.
SECRET CONFERENCE HELD.
The conference was a secret one and what
actually took place at the meeting waa not
made public. Those who are said to have
attended it, are General Reeder, Israel
Durham, Mayor Ashbridge, Director Eng-
lish and Mr. Adams. Several other po-
litical leaders whose names could not he
learned were also present. After the con-
ference had been concluded, Mr. Adams’
letter was given out. Whether he volun-
tarily withdrew from the ticket, or wheth-
er he was asked todo so, could not he
learned, as those who attended the meet-
ing would not discuss the subject.
Under therules of the party, the vacancy
on the ticket will have to be filled by the
state committee.
General Reeder, when seen said that
he did not know when the committee
will be called together, but he thought
that a meeting would be held immediatle-
ly. When asked whom he thought
would be probably named to fill the va-
cancy, he positively declined to talk any
further. A number of names have been
mentioned, but, as many of the party lead-
ers are on the stump throughout the state,
no one name had any considerable follow-
ing.

A WORNOUT ARGUMENT.
The following excerpt is from an ar-
ticle by General John Beatty of Ohio,
and it appeared in the Columbus Dis
patch:
Sir—Is it the dollar or the dollar’s worth for
which men labor? If it is the dollar's worth of
the conveniences and necessities of life, then the
United States silver dollar is worth 48 cents
more than the Mexican silver dollar of heavier
weight and greater intrinsic value. Why is the
United States silver dollar worth more to the
farmer, merchant, mechanic, wage earner and
all others than the Mexican silver dollar? Be-
cause the government of the United States has
promised to keep it equal to the gold dollar in
value and by limiting the coinage of the silver
dollar is able to fulfill this promise. Why does
not Mexico make such a promise and so make
her dollars as good us those of other countries?
Mexico did, to all intents and purposes, make
such a promise, but under free and unlimited
coinage she was unable to keep her promise good,
and hence gold disappeared from her circulation,
and her silver dollar dropped to its bullion value.
If it is bulk, not value, or value coupled witk
bulk, which the farmer desires for his product,
he can get it now. There is not a grain dealer
in tke country who would not gladly give him
$1.25 in Mexican money for his bushel of wheat.
That proposition is ingeniously put,
but it presents nothing new. It is, in
fact, an acute piece of pettifogging un-
worthy of the discussion of a great
economic question. It is merely a veil
ed and misleading statement of the
wornout argument that falling prices
injure no one, because if people have
to sell for less they can also buy for
less and thus keep even. If everything
measured or expressed in terms of
money fell in the same ratio, that
would be true, rithough even then the
arbitrary forcing down of prices, or
what is the same thing, the foreing up
of money, would not be justifiable or
defensible. Under such a condition tiie
producer and debtor would ‘‘keep
even,” but the man with a large stock
of ready money would be given a great
advantage. He could command morc
of the products of other men’s labor.
His stock of money being a fixed sui,
a certain number of ‘‘dollars,” it would
take fewer of those “dollars” to pro-
duce for him the necessities and iux-
uries of life.
The man with $100,000 in money do-
ing nothing but just living upon it
would be made richer, because he
could buy more, while the man who
toils and sweats and produces those
things which are absolutely essential
for the support of humanity would
merely “keep even.” But when money
rises in value so that the “dell
worth” becomes more the rise is
uniform. Under changing monetary
conditions different things are affected
differently. Some things fall more thax:
‘others, causing great inequality and iu:
justice. I'or example, the demonetiza-
tion of silver led to a general fall cf
prices through the appreciation of
gold. But at the same time, by break-
ing the international par of exchange
between gold and silver, it gave silver
using nations an advantage in the mar
tots of Europe over those on a gold
basis. As a result, our great export
staples have fallen considerably mocre
than the gereral average, greatly to
the injury more especially of the agri-
cultural classes.
Prices of manufactured goods have
been better sustained during the last
two or three years, but it has becn
largely by means of combines, and
prices have been held up, so far as
they have been at all, by limiting pro
duction, which is itself an evil of uo
small magnitude. Besides the keeping
up cof manufacturers’ prices a little
above the silver level it is operating
to the disadvantage of that class by
stimulating the manufactures of sil
ver standard countries, so that in the
end the American manufacturer may
be injured even worse than the agri-
culturist.
But over and beyond all this lies
the great question of money liabili-
ties. Debts, taxes, fixed charges of all
kinds, are paid in “dollars,” not in
“dollars* worth,” as General Beatty
so cunningly puts it. A man buying ¢
piece of property wholly or partly on
credit agrees to pay a certain number
of dollars, and this number is pro-
portioned to the prices which he can
obtain for the products out of which
he expects to make payment or the in-
come measured in “dollars” that the
property will yield. If the prices of
the products fall or the money income
be diminished, so far as that debt is
concerned he finds no equivalent in
the lower prices of what he has to
buy. The cold, unyielding fact con-
fronting him is that he has the same
number of dollars to pay and fewer
dollars to pay with. ;
The same is true of taxes and all
fixed charges, with the exception that,
in the face of steadily falling prices,
taxes have increased rather than di-
minished. No matter how little the
farmer gets for his crops or the manu-
facturer for his fabric, McKinley's sal-
ary of $30,000 a year goes right on. If
the workingman used all of his pay to
meet his daily expenses, it would make
no difference to him whether his wages
were high or low, measured in dollars,
or whether prices were high or low,
measured in dollars, so long as the
number of dollars which he received
preserved the same proportion to the
prices which he had to pay. But these
conditions do not exist, and therefore
General Beatty's proposition fails.
Now, glance for a moment at the
Mexican dollar. General Beatty as
well as every other gold advocate who
refers to the difference between the
Mexican dollar and the American
overlooks the obvious fact that the
difference, in the main, represents an
appreciation of the American dollar.
The Mexican dollar has shot upward
almost 100 per cent. The former will
exchange for about the same quantity
of other things as it would have done
20 years ago. The latter will ex-
change for almost twice as much. This
is all very well for the men whose ja-
terests in “money” exceed all of their
other interests, These, however, are
very few. The great mass of men
have interests many times greater than
the money which they own or con-
trol. These are injured by the shrink-
nian 200
age of values, diminished vnrofits, stayg-
\
nant business and increased burden of
debt which always come from falling
prices.
Upon what authority the statement
is based that Meaico ever promised to
keep her dollar equal to the gold dol-
lar and failed we do not know. Even
if it were true it would prove nothing,
for the United States is vastly greater
and richer than Mexico and can do
many things that Mexico cannot. Be-
sides, if we remonetize silver the metal
would then be sustained and upheld by
the whole power of both countries, and
surely it wiil not be denied that Mexi-
co and the United States together can
give more value to silver than Mexi-
co alone can. General Beatty seecius
desirous of conveying the impression
that Mexico established bimetallism,
with free coinage of both metals, as
silver men advocate it here, and, as a
result, was forced to a silver basis.
The Chicago Tribune has boldly stat-
ed the same thing—namely, that “Mex-
ico slid to the silver standard.” If
these eminent authorities would ox-
plain how and when Mexico went in-
voluntarily from bimetallism — gold
and silver together—to silver alone, it
would be far more satisfactory than a
mere suggestion or innuendo.
Prior to 1873 the Mexican dollar was
worth 5 cents more than the American
gold dollar and about 1 cent more than
our silver dollar. Now, it is well
known that our silver mostly went
abroad, where it was worth 3 or 4
per cent more for coinage, and whut
metallic money we had was mostly
gold. Why was that not equally true
of Mexico? How was it that she
coined large amounts of silver right
along and used it in her currency? It
was simply because gold was not legal
tender. Mexico was on a silver basis,
and all of her business transacticus
were in silver, and she is right thuere
yet, prospering as she never did bLe-
fore. Of all the senseless points (7)
made by the gold men the reference
to Mexico and her dollar is the wo
Not only is it grossly illogical, but it is
absolutely false to history. It is il

demonetization gold has been ferced
up to almost double value, oppres
and in many cases ruining the del
and producer and filling gold stand
countries with distress. The gol
attempts to meet this objection biy
waxing eloquent over the fact that the
American gold doliar or any other
dollar on a gold base is worth n:
two Mexican dollars, the very evil t
the silver men deplore. Speaking
torically, it is well known that from
1860 to 1870 Alexico was even further
behind the United States than she is
now. At that time the Mexican do}-
lar was worth 105 cents in gold. Our
money was cheap, depreciated, debas-
ed paper, worth on an average about
60 cents in gold. Still in every ele-
ment of industrial progress we sur-
passed Mexico more than we do now,
for of late years she has gained upcn
us with giant strides. It is only in
this sense than any comparison be-
tween the United States and Mexico
can be made. To simply point to the
fact that Mexico is a silver country
and is less advanced than the United
States proves nothing. Uruguay is a
gold standard country and is far be-
hind Mexico in almost every respect.
The differences between the United
States and Mexico, so far as they are
in our favor, are owing to causes al-
together separate and apart from any
question of the monetary standard,
and any person of just average intelli-
gence ought to know it.

Always for Monopoly.
When the express compaiiieés io..
their customers pay for the war tux
stamps affixed to receipts, the cour
decided that the government did nu
care who put the stamp on, and t
shippers and express companies m
fight it out between themselves.
the express companies have a monop-
oly, this meant that the shippers migiit
take their choice between paying the
tax or not sending their goods. But,
some of the smaller banks having af-
fixed stamps to checks as an induce-
ment to customers, the administration
became highly indignant and issued an
order that the practice must be discon- |
tinued and the drawers of checks
should affix their own stamps, under
heavy penalty. This was done at the
request of the larger banks, who fear-
ed the pressure of competition would
force them to affix stamps to checks
also or lose customers.
See how nicely the government con-
tradicts itself in order that monopoly
and wealth may escape and industry
pay the tax. It did not care who paid
the tax when that opinion meant that
the monopoly upon which the tax was
levied would shift it, but it was ex-
tremely anxious that the national
banks should be prevented from pay-
ing the tax on checks, because the
smaller merchant might in that case
escape a little of the burden.—Wil-
mington Justice.
——A boy in one of the country schools
was asked to write an essay. For his sub-
ject he took ‘‘the Newspaper,” and here is
what he wrote: Idon’t know how the
newspaper came into the world. I don’t
think Ged does, for he hasn’t got nothing
to say about them, and ‘editor, is not in
the Bible. I think the editor is one of the
missing links you hear about, and stayed
in the brush until after the flood and then
came out and wrote the thing up and has
been ever since. I don’t think he ever
dies. I never saw a dead ’'un and never
heard of one getting licked. Our paper is
a mighty poor 'un; the editor goes around
without underclothes all winter, don’t wear
no socks, and pa hasn’t paid his subsecrip-
tion in five years.”
