HEAVIEST FOG IN YEARS.

Tolira r I.n,t.
I.OM)., Nov. 5. A fog such as
tlrcnt lliitain had not experienced for
years enveloped Loiiih n and half of the
United Kingdom yesterday, bhskailiug
shipping, deranging railways ami throw
ing liusiiiess in liOiiiloii. ltirniiiigiiaui ami
ether provincial cities into confusion.
So dense was it that a walk into the
streets was an adventure. The fog de
scended upon the streets of the metropo
lis nnd the suburbs so thickly that be
tween 4 anil ." o'clock in the afternoon
the princ ipal avenue of trnlllc resitniblcd
the steainriaiui of a Turkish bath.
Hundreds vt thousands of London's
suburban population vainly endeavored
to grope their way to the railway sta
tions. The few who succeeded found the
trains all stalled. Anion. 1 Trafalgar
square anil the houses of parliament
scenes nnparnllch d for years were wit
nessed. Hundreds of omnilnisses, cabs,
caits and wagons formed un inextricable
nnd ininiovnhlf mass. The mounted po
lice, lu trying to char uwav the jam, got
lost themselves. Many vehicles were in
collision. The drivers, not knowing where
they were, stood at the hendu of their
hotscs, p.iticntly awaiting the lifting of
the premature darkness.
Lanterns were at a premium. News
boys trim-formed their papers into tem
porary torches. Highwaymen pursued
their vocation. Casualties were frequent
and even hardened Londoners freely ex
pressed a iln nd of the continuation of
such fogs, which yesterday reached a
climax.
If the fog had not lifted somewhat to
ward night, London would have been
so congested that the housing resources,
commodious as they are, w ould have been
taxed beyond their limits by the forced
accommodation of the fogdiound stibur
hauiti s.
Aiiioiii; chilih'cti ami old people the
deleterious effects nf such n continuous
and exceptional fog can scarcely bo es
timated. DUM0NT GETS THE PRIZE

LOXHON. Nov. 5 What is regarded
ns an important announcement preparing
the people of (irent Uritain for new
taxes and fresh loans was made last
night by the chancellor of the exchequer
Sir .Michael Ilicks-Rcnch, in a speech nt
111 is-lol. After alluding to the "enor
mous increase in the ordinary expendi
tures" of the government, he reviewed
the war taxes and said that the ever
increasing demand of the national ex
chequer gave reasons for careful
thought and even anxiety for the future.
"The cost of the war in South Africa
Is enormous," said Sir Michael. "It still
drags on. It may be, when aj"'xt yenr
comes, that I may have to ask the people
of this country to ls-nr even greater bur
h us nnd to make even greater sacri
fices." TORTURED BY BURGLARS

USE1ESS TO FIGHT NATURE"
Willi. U Moor On Ilia Matter of Prevent
Htnnus by l .a or tipl oalve.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Professor
Willis L. .Moore, acting secretary of ag
riculture, has issued an oiliciul state
ment concerning the mutter of the at
tempted prevention of hailstorms by the
use of explosives from specially designed
cannon. Itrief refererce is made to the
renewed Interest in the subject lately in
France and Italy and to the Apparatus
now lu use iu conducting the experi
ments. The professor says In purt:
"After examining all that baa been
published during the past two yours on
the subject of hail prevention 1 have to
repeat the opinion heretofore expressed
that we have here to do with a popular
Ji-lusion and that efforts should be made
to prevent its spread ill this country.
The great processes going on ill the at
mosphere are conducted on too large a
scnle for any man or any nation to at
tempt to control them. The energy ex
pended by nature in the production of a
hailstorm, a tornado or a rainstorm prob
ably exceeds the combined energy of nil
the stcuin engines and explosives in the
world. It is useless for man to attempt
to combat nature on this scale."

LONDON. Nov. 2.-Lord Kitchener
hus reported to the war ullice a disaster
lo the Ilritish near Kcthel, Eastern
Transvaal, iu which two guns were lost,
several olliccts killed or wounded and
M men killed and 1I!0 wounded. The
following Is the text of Lord Kitchener's
dispatch, dated Pretoria, Nov. 3:
"Colonel ltarter. who marched from
(he constiibulnrly line yesterday reached
Benson's column early this morning (Fri
day) unopposed. He reports that Colonel
Reason died of his wounds.
"The other casualties are the follow
ing: Killed Colonel Guinness, Major F.
1). Murray, Captains M. W. Linsuy and
V. II. Thorohl, Lieutenants E. V. I.
Rrooke and R. E. Shepard and Second
I.ieuetuant A. J. Coilctt. Died of his
wounds. Captain Eyre Lloyd."
Lord Kitchener then gives the mimes
of 13 other olllcers who were wounded,
most of them severely, and announces
that o4 non-commissioned olllcers and
men were killed und IHO wounded, adding
that four of the later have since died of
their wounds.
The dispatch then says:
"I assume that the two guns have been
recorded and the enemy has withdrawn
but 1 have no further details.
"I deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Reason and the "Mirers ami men who
fell with him. Iu Benson the service
loses a most gallant and capable otllcer,
who invariably led his column with
marked success and judgment.
"The fighting was at very close quar
ters ami maintained with great d( termin
ation by both sides. The enemy suffered
heavily but I have not yet received a
relnble estimate.
"The liners retired east."
Colonel Retison had been for some
time operating in the vicinity of Bethel,
which is northeast of Stundcrton. He
surprised a Boer laager Oct. 22, near
Trirhaidsfontein, taking o7 prisoners.
Three days later, according to Lord
Kitchener's report nt the time, after a
long nis'ht march, the commandoes under
Grolielar and Erasmus "honvily at
tacked Benson's rear guard and flunks
at YziiMiikfontein, but were easily
driven away."
Whether this was the attack which re
sulted so disastrously or whether the
Boers, who had been repulsed, took ad
vantage of the mist to renew the attack
is still U"explained. Lord Kitchener
does not give the date of the Itethel en
gagement. WE'VE G0TT00MUCH MONEY

Waul, to lluy Hack lloml..
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Reserving
the rii;'nt to discontinue without previous
notice, the treasury department yester
day announced that for the present it
will accept offerings of I'nited States
homls if tendered at the treasury depart
ment in Washington or ut the sub-treasury,
New York, at prices to yield the
government interest as follows on the 3
per cent bonds, loan of 1!K2-1!)1S, 5 per
sent bonds, loan of Idol, anil 4 per cent
bonds funded, loan of 111(1", to yield
1.720, nnd on the 1 per cent bonds, loan
3f I !."., to yield l.fHK!.
In spouking of this action iu resuming
the purchase of the bonds Secretary
Gage said: "The terms 1 offer are practi
cally the same ns those tinder which the
purchases were made under the last call,
I took the market quotations and nimlH
;he price about the mean between the
iffi rs and bids, which, of course. Is a
ha :e above the prices at w hich the ac
tual transactions were made. This I
believe to be entirely fair to both the
irovcriiinont and to the bnndowiiers. My
reason for making the offer at this time
Is that I ti ml from (mlay's treasury
stnteii t I hat we took in in cash this
month S!i..lnl.!l."2 more than we paid out.
and for this single day the excess of re
ceipts over expenditure)! was .1,(IM1,-1 1 1.
The circulation of the country could not
stand this drain .very long without being
affected seriously, nud as I do not wish
to lncreuse the deposits iu the national
bank depositaries, there was only one
thing left to do, itml that was to buy
bonds. I can give no approximate idea
of how long this offer will remain open
or how many bonds I shall purchase.
Bondhclders who wish to sell would do
well not to count on any grent length of
time."
