So dense was it that a walk Into the

tween 4 and ." o'clock iu the afternoon
the principal avenues of tralllc resuinbled
the stenmroom of a Turkish hath.
Hundreds of thousands of London's
suburban population vainly endeavored
to grope their way to the railway sta

trains nil stalled. Around Trafalgar
siptare mid the houses of parliament
scenes uniiiirnllcled for years were wit
nessed. Hundreds of oninihusscs, calis,
caits ami wagons formed an inextricable
and immovable mass. The mounted po

lost themselves. Many vehicles were in
collision. The drivers, not knowing w here
they were, stood at the heads of their
hoiscs, patiently awaiting the lifting of
the premature dnrknos.
Lanterns were at n premium. News

If the fog had nut lifted somewhat to

so congested that the housing resources,
roimuodious as they lire, would have been
taxed beyond their limits by the forced

Willi. U Moors On tlis Matter or Prevent
ing floruit tiy I'sa of Expl oslves.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-rrofessor
Willis L. Moore, acting secretary of ag
riculture, has issued an otliciul state
ment concerning the mutter of the at
tempted prevention of hailstorms by the
use of explosives from specially designed
cannon. Brief refcrer.ee is made to tho
renewed Interest in the subject lately in
FraiiC' and Italy and to the apparatus
now In use In conducting tho experi
ments. The professor says in purt:
"After examining all that has been
published during the past two years on
the subject of hail prevention I have to
repeat tho opinion heretofore expressed
that we have here to do with a popular
illusion and that efforts should be made
to prevent its sprcud ill this country.
The great processes going on iu the at
mosphere are conducted on too large a
scale for any man or any nation to at
tempt to control them. The energy ex
pended by nature in the production of a
hailstorm, n tornado or a rainstorm prob
ably exceeds the combined energy of all
he stcum engines and explosives in Uk
world. It is useless for man to attempt
to combat nature on this scale."

OT l)rd aud 100 Wounded Hisnra
Made Hear Attack Fighting Was at
Close Quarter and Very Urtarinluad.
Colonrl llen.ou Among the Killed.
LONDON, Nov. 2. Lord Kitchener
has reported to the xvar ollice a disaster
to the British near Hclhcl, Eastern
Transvaal, iu which two guns were lost,
several ollicers killed or wounded nnd
lit men killed nud 100 wounded. The
following Is the text of Lord Kitchener's
dispatch, dated Pretorin, Nov. 1:
"Colonel Barter, xvlio marched from
the constabuhirly Hue yesterday reached
Benson's column early this morning (Fri
Jay) unopposed. He reports thut Colonel
Benson died of his xvottuds.
"Tile other casualties are the follow
ing: Killed Colonel Guinness, Major F.
1). Murray, Captains M. W. Unsay and
F. II. Thorold, Lieutenants E. V. I.
Brooke and It. E. Shepurd and Second
I.ieuetnant A. J. Corlctt. Died of his
wounds, Cuptuin Eyre Lloyd."
Lord Kitchener then gives the mimes
of 13 other otllcers who were wounded,
most of them severely, and antiounces
that 54 non-commissioned ollicers and
men were killed and 100 wounded, adding
that four of the later have since died of
their wounds.
The dispute then says:
"I assume that the two guns hnvc been
recovered and the enemy has withdrawn
but I have no further details,
"I deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Ilensou ami the otllcers and men who
fell with htm. Iu Benson the service
loses a most gallant and capable officer,
who invariably led his column with
n in i ked success nnd judgment.
"The lighting xvas at very close quar
ters and maintained with great determin
ation hy hoth sides. The enemy suffered
heavily but I have not yet received a
relnble estimate.
"The Boers retired cast."
Colonel Benson had been for some
time operating in the vicinity of Bethel,
which is northeast of Stnudcrton. He
surprised n Boer lunger Oct. 22, near
Trielianlsfontiin, taking yi prisoners.
Three days later, according to Lord
Kitchener's report at the time, after a
long night mn i ch, I he commandoes under
Grobelar and Erasmus "heavily at
tacked Benson's rear guard aud flanks
at Yzirviiikfontein, but were easily
dr'ven awuy."
Whether this xvas the attack which re
sulted so disastrously or xvhether the
I'.uers, who had been repulsed, took nil
vantage of the mist to renew the attack
is still unexplained. Lord Kitchener
docs not give the date of the Bethel en
gagement. WE'VE GOT TOO MUCH MONEY
Coin I, I'lllng t'p In Treasury and Gaga
Wauls to Uuy Hack lliinri..
WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Reserving
the right to discontinue without previous
notice, the treasury department yester
day announced that for the present it
xvill accept offerings of I'nitcd States
bonds If tendered at the treasury depart
ment in Washington or at the sub-treasury,
New York, at prices to yield the
government interest as follows on the 3
per cent bonds, loan of l!HrJ-101,S, 5 per
rent bonds, loan of l!4, anil I per cent
bonds funded, loan of 11KI", to yield
1.720, and on the 4 per cent hoods, loan
3f 1D25, to yield 1.000.
In speaking of this action In resuming
the purchase of the bonds Secretary
Gage said: "The terms I offer are practi
cally the same as those under which the
purchases xvere made under the lust call.
I took the market quotations and made
lie price about the mean between the
Dffcrs and bids, which, of course, is a
hade above the prices at which the ac
tual transactions xvere made. This I
believe to be entirely fair to both the
government and to the bonilowncrs. My
reason for making the offer at this time
is that I find from today's treasury
statement Hint xx'e took in in cash this
mouth !!'.:tol,!!."2 more than we paid out.
and for this single day the excess of re
ceipts over expenditures xvas .l,0Sl.Hi.
The circulation of the country could not
Wind tliis-draiu very long without being
affected seriously, nud as I do not wish
to Increase the deposits iu the nntioual
bank depositaries, there was only one
thing left to do, ami that was to liny
bonds. I can give no approximate idea
of how long this offer xvill remain open
or how many bonds I shall purchase.
Uondhelders xvlio xvish to sell would do
xvell not to count on any great length of
time."
