London, Oct 25.—A special .dispatch
from Cape Town, dated 9:10 this mom
ing, says there has been a battle at La
dysmith and that the Boera were re
pnlaed. The British casualties were
placed nt four killed and seven wounded,
all rank and file.
General White has telegraphed to the
wav office from Reitfontien, nnder date
of Oct. 24, saying that in the fighting
near Ladysmith 13 of the British force
were killed and (.9 wounded and that
five are missing, the casualties being
mostly among the Gloucester regiment
A special from Ladysmith, dated Oct
23, says the troop of the Eighteenth
hussars, which got astray in pnrsning
the Boers after the battle of Glencoe,
has arrived at Ladysmith, the troopers
having fought their way through with
the loss of three horses.
Bad Por Lord Wolselry,
The commander in-chief,- Field Mar
that Lord Wolseley. has apparently been
now convicted of "doctoring” official
reports from the front, and there is a
strenuous demand on all sides for a re
version to the earlier practice, when the
reporti of General Sir Stewart White,
tho British oommander in Natal, were
given ont textnally as soon as received.
The commander-in.chief’s summary
read in the honse of commons yesterday
spoke of General White having fought
a successful aotion, whereas General
White’s own acconnt puts an entirely
different complexion on the situation
and reduces the movement to its proper
proportions, and shows that further ex
citing intelligence may be expeoted
from the same quarter at any moment.
It is quite evident that the war in
Natai has only commenced and that the
Boera are by no means discouraged at
losing the first two battles, and many
experts are satisfied that General Jon-
bert is even now close to the heels of
the British, and that' a decisive action
may be fonght today or tomorrow.
Natal May U. Annexed.
The main fact that the British were
forced to evacuate the Natal triangle,
which the Boers naturally rightly claim
ns a conspicuous success and which they
may even emphasize by a proclamation
annexing northern Natal, is proving
an unpalatable pill to the pnblio, whose
appetite has been whetted by the previ
ous snccesaes, which had been assumed
to be greater than they really were, as
the determination and gallantry of the
Boers enabled them to qulCkly reorgan
ize and achieve desired objects by other
method.
Later estimates of the Boer losses at
Elaudslaagte give 300 killed. Their
coolness, bravery and good aim can be
judged from the fact that ont of 17 or
18 officers with the half battalion of
Gordnu highlanders four were killed
and 13 were wounded, while the casual-
ties among the 'rank and file were 37
per cent, during leas than three hours’
fighting. Lieutenant Campbell of the
Gordon highlanders has since died from
his w.ounde.

Atlanta, Oct. 26.—The general as
sembly met at 10 o’clock this morning,

tions ore the present session will be an

In both homes the first honr was
spent in reading the special report of
the tax commission and the committee
appointed at the last session to investi
gate the geological department.
When the roll wav called for new
bills ths visitors were sorprised to find
that many of the members came with
their bills already prepared, and a per
feet flood of bills were sent to the clerks'
desks in both houses. ’
Session Every Two Years.
In the senate the most Important bill
introduced today was by Senator Gross
of ths Twenty-ninth district to provide
biennial sessions of the Georgia legisla
ture, instead of annnal, as at present.
This comet at a proposed amendment
to the constitution.
A pare food bill was introduced by
Senator Steed of the Twenty-third dis
trict This rnaktt it a misdemeanor to

aration of food.

ries of textbooks.
Several local bills were introduced.
The governor's message was read in
both homes.
Message of the Governor.
Governor Candler devotee several par
agraphs of his message to the twin snb-
jects of orime and mob violence. He
refers in general terms to the crimes in
diffsrent sections of the state, taking
the position that the nnusnal amount of
crime by lawless negroes and the conse
quent unprecedented amount of mob
violence can be laid at the door of “in
termeddling and irreeponeible fanatics
and fools, who do not know anything of
the situation in the sonth, nor the real
relations of t he people of the two races. ”
The important part played by the mi
litia in the preservation of law and or
der ii dwelt upon at some length. He
makes several suggestion* of amend
ments in the military laws. A highly
important recommendation is for th*
retirement of Adjntant General Kell,
whose increaeing infirmities have ren
dered him unlit for duty.
The governor takes the position that
then should be the strictest economy in
the administration of the school fund of
the state,- as in everything else, and he
points ont the importance of restricting
the work of the pnblio schools to the
elementary branches.
In reviewing reports of state officers,
Governor Candler dwells at some length
npon the report of the commissioner of
pensions; praises the work of the prison
commission; advises that everything
possible be done toward getting at
property which escapes taxation; pays
nigh tribute to the geological survey;
suggests that there be a bureau of sta
tistics added to the agricultural depart
ment; recites the history of the North
eastern ratlrosd and the effort* to sell
it, and teila nt the extraordinary, draft
made npon the contingent fond for the
purpose of stamping ont smallpox in
different counties.
