BURGHERS THRASH BENSON’S FORCES Fierce and Bloody Conflict at Close Quarters. SCORES OF RED COATS SLAIN Boers to the Number of Several Hundred Swoop Down Upon A British Rear Guard. Lord Kitchener has reported to the London war office a disaster to the British near Bethel, eastern Transvaal, in which two guns were lost, several officers killed or wounded and fifty four men killed and ICO wounded. The following is the text of l»r<l Kitchener’s dispatch, dated Pretoria, November 1: “I have just heard of a severe at tack made on the rear guard of Colonel Benson’s column when about 20 miles northwest of Bethel, near Broken laagte, during a thick mist. “The strength of the enemy is re ported to have been a thousand. They rushed two guns with the rear guard, but it is uncertain whether they were able to remove them. “I fear our casualties were heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded, but not severely, A relieving column will reach him this morning.” Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as follows: “Colonel Barter, who marched from the constabulary line yesterday, reach c id Benson’s column early this (Fri day) morning unopposed. He reports that Colonel Benson died of his wounds. “The other casualties are as follows: “Killed—Colonel S. Guinness, Major F. 1). Murray, Captains M. W. Lindsay and F. T. Thorould, Lieutenants E. V. I Brooks and It. E. Shepherd and Second Lieutenant A. J. Corlett. "Died of wounds, Captain Eyre Lloud.” Lord Kitchener then gives the names of thirteen other officers who were wounded, most of them severely, and announces that fifty-four non-commis sioned officers and men were killed and 160 wounded, adding that four of the latter have since died of their wounds. The dispatch then says: “I assume that the two guns have been recovered and the enemy has withdrawn, but I have no further de tails. “1 deeply regret the loss of Colonel Benson and the other officers and men who fell with him. In Benson the ser vice loses a most gallant and capable officer, who invariably led Ills column with marked success and judgment. “The fighting was at very close quar ters and maintained with determina tion on both sides The enemy suffered heavily, InK i have not yet received a reliable estimate. “The Boers retired east.” FOR INTERIOR DEPARTMENT Many Millions are Needed Pensions Call For $142,161,200.

Use of Anti-Toxine for Diptheria Caues Death of Innocents in City of St. Lcuis. A St. Louis, Mo., special says: The list of deaths attributed to lockjaw as a result of the administration of dlph thoria antl-toxine manufactured by the elty chemists number eleven, two now deaths being reported Friday. Eleven other children are reported to health department as suffering from lockjaw, with slight chances for recovery. The • cause of lockjaw in each case Is said to be poisoning from the city’s diph theria auti-toxine. As a result of the charges, the health department has begun the free distrl- j bution of tetanus anti-toxine. It Is de signed to inject the serum into the ( blood of the diphtheria patients who j hare boon Inoculated with the tetanus Infected serum and this exposed to lockjaw. The health department has announc ed that no more diphtheria anti-toxine will be manufactured by the city of St. Louis. The investigation ordered by the city coroner to determine positively tho cause of the deaths of the eight children who are alleged to have died of lockjaw following the adminlstra tionof the city’s anti-toxine is being pushed, and it is expected that Us object will be accomplished in a few days. Doctors Bolton, Fish and Wal dron, three of the most experienced bacteriologists in St. Louis, are mak ing tests with the anti-toxine and the serum taken from the spinal columns of tho dead children. Dr. Ravohl, city bacteriologist, who made tho anti-toxine complained of from serum taken from a horse which developed tetanus on October 1, and was shot, declares that if the animal’s system contained tetanus bacilli on August 24, when the last serum was taken from him, it was impossible to detect It by aii Inspection of the horse. At the Baptist hospital an independ ent investigation has convinced Drs. A. B. Nichols, P. C. Harris and C. C. Morris that the presence of tetanus germs in the city anti-toxine is in disputable. A guinea pig was inocula ted with the anti-toxine Wednesday night, developed symptoms of lock jay Thursday morning and died Fri day. Agnes Keenan, the 7-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. William Keenan, died Friday from tetanus. Ches ter and Mamie Keenan are also suffer ing with lockjaw and their physician does not hold out any hope for their re covery. Two of the Keenan children who have died were inoculated merely for the sake of precaution, neither of them being sick, though both had been exposed to diphtheria.

The sweet .influences of the heavenly world, which many wise men the thought for a long while was Alcyone, centre of the constellation of the Pleiades— world of our future residence, as we hope; world world of chorus and illumination: shall of reunion; world where we be everlastingly complete; world where our old faculties will be itensified and quick ened and new faculties implanted; Christ, through world of high association with whose grace we got there at all, and apostles and poets, Habakkuk, and his St. John of Patmos, and Edward Young, “Night Thoughts” turned into eternal day; and Horatius Bonar of modern hymnology, and Hannah More, and Mrs. Hemans, and Mrs. Sigourney, who struck their harps till nations listened; and David, the victor over Goliath with what seemed insufficient weapons; and Joshua of the prolonged day in Gibeon, those and Havelock, the evangelist hero, and thousands of men of the sword who fought on the right side. What company to move in! What guests to entertain! What personages to visit! What choirs to chant! What banquets with lifted chalice filled with “the new wiue of the kingdom!” What victories to celebrate! The stories of that world and its holy hilarities come in upon our souls some times in song, sometimes in sermon, sometimes in hours of solitary reflection, and they are, to use the words of my text, sweet influences. But there is one star that affects us more with its sweet influences than the centre star, the Alcyone of the Pleiades, and that is what one Bible author calls the Star of Jacob and another Bible author calls the Morn ing Star. Of all the sweet influences that have ever touched our earth those that radiate from Christ are the sweetest. Born an Asiatic villager, in a mechanic’s home, living more among hammers and saws and planes than confounding among books, robed yet at twelve years of age ecclesiastics and starting out a mission under which those born without optic fcerve took in the unresponsive clear daylight and those afflicted with tympa num were made to hear and those almost doubled up with deformities were straightened into graceful poise the and widow’s the leprous became rubicund and only son exchanged the bier on which he lay lifeless for the arms of his over joyed” mother the and Mount pronouncing of Beatitudes nine bene- and dictions on words which doing deeds and speaking with in are filling the centuries sweet Christ started every spread ambulance, kindled every electric ray, every soft hospital pillow and introduced all the alleviations and pacifications and rescues and mercies of all time. He was the loveliest; being that His ever trod our earth—more beauty in eyes, more tenderness in His manner, more gentleness in His footsteps, more music in His voice, more dignity in His brow, more gracefulness in the locks that rolled upon His shoulders, more compassion in His soul. Sweet influences of the Holy Ghost, with all His transforming and comforting and emancipating power. When that power is fully felt there will be no more sins to pardon, and no more errors to correct, and no more sorrows to com fort, and no more bondage to break. But as the old-time ship captains watched the rising of the Pleiades for safe navi gation and set sail in Mediterranean waters, but were sure to get back into port before the constellation Orion came into sight—the season of cyclone and hurricane—so there is a time to sail for heaven, and that is while the sweet in fluences are upon us and before the storms overtake and delay. Open all your soul to the light and warmth and com fort and inspiration of that gospel which ha? already ransomed peopled heaven with millions of the and is helping other millions to that the glorious things destina tion. Do not postpone of God and eternity until the storms of life swoop and the agitations of a great futurv are upon us. Do not dare wait until Orion takes the place of the Pleiades.
