THE RESULT IS KENTUCKY.
London, Nov. 11—The day bronght
forth no great news and little change
has taken place either in jNatal or
en the north and northeastern
frontiers of Ctpo Colony. The chief
fact is the opening of the]boinbardment
•f Kimberley Tuesday by the Free
State artillery, which proved, accord ing
to the official statement, ntteriv|iueffeot
hre. The Boer investment of the town,
however, is said to be tightening.
• The skirmishing','between Kimberley
aaonnted troops and Boers'earlyein the
week resulted in severeiBoer losses, the
British force losing one killed and one
wounded. -Advices from the Orange
river confirm the] report that Jthe Free
State troops advanced upon
the north of Cape Colony, bnt
owing to the retirement of
the British forces from the border-
land. no serions collision has yet oc
oarred. The coming week, however, is
•ertain to see important developments
in this district
An official dispatch recorded the
skirmish near Belmont, in which Col.
Falooner was killed, three other officers
wonuded—one dangerously—and two
privates slightly wounded, is far from
elear. It is not known whether Colonel
Falooner was preparing for a British
advance, or merely endeavoring to as-
certain the number of the Boers. It is
considered somewhat remarkable that
tour ont of the six casualties should
have happened to officers, aud this is
thought to need some explanation.
EDispatohes from Mafekingjshow that
Colonel Bideu-Powel’s little force is
(till holding its own, and daily inflict-
ing more or less severe punishment on
the Boers, whose artillery apparently
proved valueless.
Nothing filtered through to day from
Ladysmith, which everybody expects to
be the theatre of thrilliug events dur-
ing the corning week.
Transports carrying 11,000 British
troops are already enronte to Durban
having passed Cape Town, and the
Boers must strike a decisive* blow at
Ladysmith now or never,
The war office received the following
dispatch from General Bulier, under
date of Cape Town, Nov.'ll, afternoon:
"With reference to my telegram of
the tenth. Colonel Gongb, with two
iquadrons of the Tenth Hussars, a bat-
tery of field artillery and one and one-
half companies of mounted infantry,
found about seven hundred of the
enemy with one gnu in position about
nine miles,west of Belmont. He en
gaged the enemy with his artillery and
sent the mounted infantry to the enemy’s
left flank to discover their laager. The
lessee reported yesterday oeenred dur-
this operation Colonel Gough engaged
the enemy for about three hours and
then returned to camp. The death of
Lieutenant Wood has just been report-
ed.”
It is officially announced that the
troop ship Hawarden Castle arrived at
Cape Town with 1.000 troops.
NAVAL BRIGADE LANDED.
Durban, Natal, Nov. 8—War ships
landed a naval brigade with twenty
guns for the defense of the town. The
brigade marched through the town
*und the gre ttest enthusiasm.
ARMOURED TRAIN RETURNED.
Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 7—An ar-
moured tram manned by an engineer
ing staff and a company of the Dublin
Fusileers, under Captain Hensley, re
turned here tonight. It reports it
found the stores at Frere looted, appar
ently by the Kaffirs, and met the oy
clist of patrols, who reported the Boers
ou the Springfield road, five miles awav
The train proceeded cautiously aud
found the Bluesprnit bridge intact.
The train frequently stopped and
Captain llensely examined the road
ahead before proceeding Neariug
Colenso, Captain Heusely inspected
Flirt Nicholseu, and proceeding, found
the line out a mi'.e south of Colenso.
Two lengths of a rail of each line had
beeu lifted and placed out of gunge
From information obtained from the
Kaffirs it pppears that the Boers left
the vicinity of Colenso early this morn
ing, proceeding in the direction of the
Buluwun mountains, and Captain
Hensley found Colenso absolutely de-
serted.
A balloon was observed saveral min-
utes hovering over the Boer positions
in the mountains. It was presumably
a British balloon from Ladysmith.
Natives here are undertaking a safe
delivery of dispatches inside of Lady-
ami th.
ATTACKED KIMBERLEY.
Cape Town, Wednesday, Nov. 8—
Night.—Dispatches from Kimberley
show the town was vigorously attacked
at two diff-rent points It is retained
one of the British force and six Boers
were killed, it is believed here the
Boers surround the town in foroe.

tlcal Return..
Louisville, Nov. 11—Reports have
been received by the Commercial (Re-
publican), up to midnight from 111 of
119 counties giving the official count.
These give Goebel pluralities of 17,109,
aud Taylor pluralities of 13,185; Goe-
bel’s net plurality 3 734.
The eight uureported counties, ac-
cording to unofficial figures, heretofore
received by the Commercial, give Tay-
lor pluralities of 0,656 and Goebel plu-
ralities of 1,082; Taylor’s net plurality is
5,624 Deducting from this Goebel’s
plurality of 3,734 in 111 counties, leaves
Taylor a plurality in the whole state of
1 890. The Demociatio unofficial re-
turns from the eight unreported coun-
ties show the Taylor pluralities at 4,952
Using these figures with the Commer-
cial'soffloial plurality of 3,734 from the
111 comities will still leave Taylor a
plurality of 1,218. Much depends how-
ever, upon the conteste being made in
the Beveral counties on the ground of
alleged irregnlarities,
The Courier Journal at midnight fig-
ures out a plurality of 155 for Goebel.
This is based on the official reports from
98 counties and unofficial from the re
maining 21.
County Commissioner Nelson, aocord
log to the Cournier Journal, has thrown
out 1,193 vot-s oast for W. P. Taylor
instead of W. S. Taylor.
CALDWELL ELECTED.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov 11—Chairman
Dick, of the Republican state commit
tee, today says Caldwell, Republican,
for lieutenant governor, about whose
election there was some question, will
have about 13.000 plurality.

lowed Admiral and Mrs. Dewey to-day
as they walked down Fifth Avenue
from the hotel aud at 15th street ga-
thered around them and kept them irn
prisoned. The crowd shouted and
hurrahed and some attempts were made
to raise the Admiral on the shoulders of
the more zealous of the enthusiasts
Admiral Dewey begged and implored
the people to alio v him to proceed but
he finally had to take refuge in a store
from which he esoaped to a side street
This afternoon Manager Bjlut of the

Admiral Dewey asked that newspapers

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Several Swift Football Game# Were Played
Throughout the Country.
Philadelphia, Nov. 11—In the
fiercest game played on the Franklin
field this year, the University of Penn-
sylvania football team this afternoon
defeated the University of Michigan
by 11 to 10.
The game was a royal battle from
start to finish, and marked by brilliant
and poor playing by both teams. Penn-
sylvania earned her victory, because
she had to p'ay harder for the two
touchdowns than did Michigan. The
Miohigan team made moat of its gains
on runs aronnd Pennsylvania’s left end,
which was lamentably weak, while
Pennsylvania had to gain her ground
by fierce plunging throngh the line.
The game was a beantifnl one for the
spectators. Both teams were about
as evenly matched as oonld be.
The Quakers excelled in the line of
bucking and kicking While Miohigan
far outplayed Pennsylvania when it
came to skirting the ends. McLean,
Michigan’s left back, almost invariably
nsed the fore end running.
AT DENyER.
Denver, Nov. 11—The football team
of the Denver Athletic clnb sustained
the reoord so far made for itself this
season by preventing a score by the
Haskell Indians in today’s game, and
putting the total at 12 points to their
own credit. The visitors were out-
classed from the start to the finish and
the Denver goal was never in danger.
Once the Indians got the ball on the
Denver fifteen yard line, bnt progress
was stopped there. Really the local
olnb was not in as good form as a week
ago, the new men not coming np to ex-
pectations. As heretofore Kirkhoff,
Cavanaugh, Rothwell and a few others
did the most work for the home team.
The soores were a touchdown and a
goal in each half game. The tonoh-
downs were made by Kirkhoff and Cav-
anaugh, and the goals were both kick-
ed by the latter-
AT MILWAUKEE.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 11.—Wis-
consin’s eleven defeated the University
of Illinois team this afternoon 23 to noth-
ing.
Wisconsin’s told in the second half
when most of the scoring was done,Cur-
tis and Blair, the Wisconsin tackle,
opening the holes through which the
backs tore throngh for gains of five and
ten yards.
Illinois showed unexpected strength
on the defense in the first half, fre-
quently securing the ball on downs, bnt
utterly unable to do anything with the
Wisconsin forwards, and only once dur-
ing the game was the ball anvanoed to
the necessary five yards.
Oae of the features of the gam9 was
O’Deas kick from Illinois 53 yard line,
which probably establishes the reoord.
AT NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 10—The Princeton
football team took the Carlisle Indians
into camp on Manhattan field this after-
noon, but had a difficult time doing it
Princeton scored two touchdowns, one
each half, and goals were successfully
kicked, making a total at the finish of
12 to 0 in favor of the Tigers. The re-
sult, while not nnlooked for, was a
ernsher just the same for the Red men.
Their victory over Pennsylvania and a
double score against Harvard warranted
a better showing for the Indians, but
although beaten, they put np snch a
formidable game that they proved
themselves worthy of the respect which
was paid them in the football world.
AT ITHACA,
Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 11—With a wet
field, with oompaot offensive play and
against a team that has not yet reoov
ered from the Columbia game, Lafa
yette this afternoou defeated Cornell,
at Percy field, 6 to 5 Both soores were
made in the first half.
AT CAMBRIDGE.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11—Har-
vard beat Dartmouth today on the sol
diers’ field, 11 to 0. A drenching raiu
fell before and daring the game, and
the field was a mass of mad. Harvard
played a wretched game after the first
two minutes. Six times did Harvard
lose the ball to Dartmouth by bad fnm
bling, without counting the many times
it was dropped and recovered by the
quickness of Harvard’s own players
