WORD VOTED FOR SAMPSON.Jill' JERSEY'H LEGISLATURE TO

HONQIt THE ADMIRAL.

UCHAHAN HADE STATE LIBRARIAN.

:e la a Ken-ujmiier Alan and One ofMany In t he ISmvloy of t b e Sta te .Mat te r s Sluvlniff Slowly—Many NewDills Have Been Introduced, andmore Activity Is Expected In An-other Week.

[Special Correspondence]Trenton, Feb. 1.—The fourth week of

legislative session closed withoutiveloplng the expected Bpurt of actlvl-on part of the lawmakers. About the

inly special Indication of energy thisveek was In the Introduction of newIlls, of which there has been quite alood. It Is now said that the leglsla-ure will strike Its working gait next

and begin In earnest the oonslder-tlon and discussion of some of thelore Important measures pending. Ben-

itor McDermott before adjournment'esterday tried to get his constitutionaliuuvtuilluu Kboiutiuii set down us upedal order for next Monday evening,iut the Republicans would not have Ito, and Senator W. M. Johnson's motion_ refer the resolution to the Judiciaryommlttee prevailed. Mr. MoDermott'sIght now doubtless will be to get thenatter out of committee, and this willireclpitate a lively discussion one ofhese fine days. The Democrats are do-ng their best to make political capitaljut of the matter, urging that onlythrough a constitutional convention of;he people's delegates can proper reme-dies be established for curbing therrowth of monopolies and preventinghe formation of trusts antagonistic tolopular interests. They hold that little

be hoped for through the legisla-.ure, owing to the dominance of cor->orate Influences at the statehouse. TheRepublicans, on the other hand, beinglow safely Intrenched in power, do not'ancy the throwing down of the bars byproviding for a constitutional conven-lon which might introduce radicalihanges In our system of governmentind serve as a stepping stone for re-:urnlng the Democratic party to power.It Is claimed that all the necessary re-lorms In relation to state control of cor-lorations can be provided by legislativelet and that such reforms shall beforthcoming in due season.

New Stnt« l ibrarian.The political headsman has got tn his

vork at the state library as anticipated,rat the Job has not resulted to the en-tire satisfaction of the executioner.Colonel Morris R. Hamilton, the statelibrarian, has been displaced, but in hisstead another newspaper man has beenlppolnted, who is In no sense a rankmrtlsan. The new appointee la Henry. Buchanan, news editor of the Tren-on State Gazette and Trenton corre-

spondent of the New York Sun. Mr.Buchanan has served a long appren-ticeship to Journalism, having begun'at the case" and through sheer meritlounted to the proofreader's desk and

then to the most responsible position Inthe office ot a leading New Jersey dally.He is a man of marked force of charac-ter, possessing fine executive qualitiesIn addition to the ability to write co-gently and Interestingly. He will bemissed, for awhile at all events, fromThe Gazette, but the transfer to themore placid duties of state librarianmust be for himself a great relief. Mr.Buchanan Is a Republican, but not ofthe aggressive sort, and his selection Isyery pleasing to those who had no sympathy with the horde of now dlsappointed office seekers who brought aboutState Librarian Hamilton's removal.Mr. Buchanan was a twelfth Dour candldate, but an easy winner. His termIs for five years.

Newspaper men, by the way, are do-Ing fairly well In public life In NewJersey. The secretary of Btate is EditorWurts of the Paterson Press, while Ed-itor Cloke of the New Brunswick Fre-donlan Is one of the riparian commis-sioners. Other berths of less promi-nence are held by newspaper men. Inthe legislative organization not a fewilums fell to the craft. The senate Islartlcularly favorable In this directionPresident Heed's private secretary IsJharles H. Bateman ot the SomervilleUnionist-Gazette, Editors Barber ofGloucester and TJndsley of Morris areBecretary and assistant secretary of thesenate respectively, while Edgar Wil-liams of the Orange Journal Is engross-ing' clerk. Then there are "Walter B.Edge of Atlantic, Journal clerk; JohnW. Cllft of Union, assistant Journaclerk; William H. Fischer of Oceancalendar clerk, and others. And it maybe said with truth that there he.s neverieen a more efficient set of legislativeifflolala.

Stoken' School Bill.Senator Stokes' bill to secure an an-

,iual allowance from the general stateCunds for the maintenance of the publicschools, which was commented on In.his correspondence last week, has been,attracting favorable mention In thrnewspapers of the state. In Its orlglnaform It did not fix the amount of th(annual appropriation, but left it to bldecided by each legislature. Yesterday,however, the senator, after thinkingthe matter over, had an amendmentInserted providing that the minimumamount to be appropriated each yeathould be $100,000. It Is hoped that therMil be an opportunity to vote a muchirger sum.In dlscussInG the bill with your corre

apondent Senator Stokes said: "Tligeneral party policy should be econom•al administration of state affairs am

He rnntinuirl tocontribute to the editorial page of the paper,sometimes with a fertility of production thatdismayed me; and, after a few weeks, avacancy having suddenly happened in myeditorial staff, I invited George to the place.He waa given a comfortable salary nnd fromthat time forth be set typo no more.

Keglmoutnl History.The late war, euphonetically styled by

Mine the " Yanko-Spanko" war, was, Imp-pily, a, fibort-livod one, and, while its sealights are absolutely without pnmllel InDaval annals, yet there is no danger that thevalorouB deeds of tho soldiers of the CivilWar will bo overshadowed by the events ofthe •• lute unpleasantness." This is aproposto a notice which has como to the EHA to theeffect that copies of a regimental history, inwhich are told tho deeds of the Eleventh N3. Vols., may bo had on application to AlonnoB. Bearing, of thla city, who is one of thesurviving members of that regiment. TlieEleventh Regiment, N. J, Vols., bo it known,Is listed on tha roll of honor compiled byColonel Pel, the war historian. Tho regi-ment was organized at Trontou in May, 18G2,and numbered, when mustered in, !)7£t oillcersand enlisted men, of which number thi-re re-turned at the close ot the wnr iu 1805 onlyabout 00 men. I t took part in 30 battles, besides numerous skirmishes, and its depletedranks were replenished at various times with801 recruits, making a total of 1,8-10 men whoserved witb this gallnut command. AtChnucellorsvlllo the regiment lost 102 men, Com-pany E, which was recruited in Dover, nlonehaving nine men killed or mortally wounded,besides twenty-seven others wounded. AtGettysburg the regiment lost 157 men out of375, and it was its proatlosa on that battle-field that gave it a place among tlie immortal300. The surviving members lust year, atconsiderable expense, caused to lie printed alimited number of copies of the before men-tioned regimental history, a ttonk of 31'4P&gos. with numerous photographs and othorlllustrations, and of this edlttuu there areBtill left over a number of copies which Mr.Searing, acting for his comrades, would liketo dispose of. Write to him aud seeuro acopy before all are taken.

The MutfuzlnoB,"America's AVorkiog People" is the attrac-

tive title of a series of articles which beginsin tho February Magazine Number of TheOutlook with a paper on "The Old FactoryTowns iu New England." Tho series will in-clude twelve articles, and among other topicsare : "'The Coal Wines," "Tho Iron Centers,1

"The Great Wheat Rauches," "Co-operativeExperiments," " Cotton and Sugar Planta-tions." The articles are written by Mr. C.B. Spahr, of tbo Outlook editorial staff, authoruf tho book "Tho Present Distribution ofWealth." Tho material was obtained by sev-eral months' travel and personal study ID theindustrial centers of America. ($3 a year.Tho Outlook Company, Now York.)

Some measure of literary distinction isawarded to the present representatives of thehouso of HoheiiKolleru, iu spite of the fantas-tic failures of Emperor William. From thisweek's literature, published by Harper &Hi-others, wo learn that Prince George ofPrussia haH just produced a one-act drama,''Prnxeilis," a t Hauover, and it is said to be ofsouud merit. He writes under tho pen nameof O. Conrad, and is the author of severalsuccessful books and plays.

The present number of Harper's Bazar isespecially valunble to women because of thetasteful gowns It discusses aud Its many inter-esting fashion notes. Four pages are devotedto this subject. "Kit Kennedy," the serialby 8. R. Crockett, has already attracted at-tention, and bids fair to be the best novel Mr.Crockett has written since tho Lilac Sunbon-net. Among tbo special articles there are twowhich deserve special mention: "The HolyIsles of Russia," by Mouteflore Brice, and"Women and Men—A Sweet Enemy," byThomas Went worth Hfgginson.

An important suggestion in regard to colon-inl government is found in F. D. Millet'sspecial correspondence in the current issue ofHarper's Wcchly. Mr. Millot's letters havebeen a proiuineut featuro of the Weekly oflate, and the subject of his present article is" How the Dutch Govern Java," and liow wemight profit by a study of their methodsOther features of this periodical are "SomeInteresting Types of Modern Drawbridges,'by F. W. Skinner, and " The IndustrialPossibilities of Porto Rico," hy WilliamDinwiddie, special correspondent of Harper'sWeekly in that island. The departments ofMusic und Drawing are very entertaining,aud in Amateur Sport Van Tassel Sutpheuauthor of tho Gblflcido, contributes his secondpaper on " Golf in tho Southland."

Mrs. Margaret Deland'sOld Chester Taleswhich were such a delightful feature of JJarjm-'s Magazine during 1898, have gone Intotheir third edition, although it hasbeeuhardlya month sinco tlioy were issued in book form,Perhaps the chief reason for tho uuiversalfavor with which they have been received isthat they deal with a lifo which is familiarand dear to almostovery American—at leastto those of tlie older generation. It is tboquaint, old-fashioned life of a littb Pennsyl-vania town, Botuowhere near the Marylandline, which, it is said, was Mrs, Deland'achildhood hotno. Perhaps that is why thowhole book Is glowing with life; it Is strongund virile; it maltea one laugh and crj almostIn tbo snme brenth. It is art of the greatestkind, and Sin*. Deland has proved tliat as awriter of short stories she is unsurpnsped byany living American, With its beautifuland sympathetic illustrations by Mr. HowardPyle, Old Chester Talcs is a volume whichevery lover of good art will prize.

Experience is making it evident tuafc theutilization of the waste gases of blast furn-aces, now being tried in a small way, is amatter of no smnll inijioruince. Mr. H.Allen, an Eugllsb engineer, states thut thegas is never too poor to bum satisfactorily intho gas englna, t int it is vory uniform inquulity and that each cubic foot represents-2,372 foot-pounds of work. Under a fiteainhoilor, however, It yields loss than a fourth ofthe power it will develop in the gas engine.A new 180 horse-power engine for a Germancidciutn carbide plant la run on 100 cubic feetof tbe gas per hour for each indicated horse-power, which is equivalent to about 1.3pounds of coke charged into tbo furnace, andis regarded as a very remarkable result.

A ro«n wlio liae hud vide uxpurlonue intrying to wako the Indian civilized byeducation and who is not hostile entirelyto tlio iileiis inculcated at Corllelu andHampton suld to a St. Paul correapondouto( tlio New York Suu:

"Ono instance of a complete return toaboriginal manners, mode of thought anddisgrace of living which came within myknowledge may Eorvo to point a moral.When 7 years old, Nellie Mat-nopath (TwoBears), daughter of the principal and he-reditary chief of the groat Sioux tribokijjjwn as the Lower Yanktonais, waswrit, her father concurring, to a Oatholioschool In St. JoBcph, Mo, Sho was abright girl, •with other claims tbuu birthto the title of princens, and rapidly ac-quired a good knowledgo not only of Eng-lish, but of Frenuh, while la needleworkand housewifely gifts she displayed anaptitudo that cheered the hcarta of thopiintlo sisters, her teachers, and led themto hope that, arrived at woman's estate,Ncllto would well repay their caro andtoil by the Influence she would exertamong her people.

"When she reached tlie ugo of 18 andof tor more than 11 years in the conventand among tho whites (for sho was not al-lowed, for reasons that scorned good, toTlsit her people during hor education)Nellie was told that tlie timo had como forher to repay the sisters and priests sheloved for all they had done for hor behalf,and that hereafter sho must live with herown kindred and HCCU by example andprecept to wean them from their aivagsryto proper modes of living, Tho youngwoman wept hltterly, pleaded hard to boallowed to stay In tho convent as a teach-er, pointed out how distasteful tlio coarseUfo of the tepeo would bo to one who knoweo woll tho amenities of life, and urged,further, that from what she knew of hertribe she would not bo -welcome shouldshe try to induco them to adopt tho cus-toms of tho whites. But her teacliorH wereflnn, and properly BO, since it had been aoonditlon precedent with lior father—anenlightened chief, eo far as his environ-ment would permit—when ho permittedher to go to St. Joseph, that when sho hadcompleted hor course of instruction shoshould return to him ami to his life.

"Ho with many tears Bho left her schoolund after u long boat journey up tho Mis-souri, during which she was made muchof by several "Wives of oilicers who wore onthe way to Fort Yates, she arrived at thoagency, within three miles of which herfather and her tribe were eiicnmpud. Shewent at onco to tho house of ilre. Galpin,an Indian woman of much Influenceamong tho Sioux and with several welleducated half breed daughters. Tho dayafter her arrival sho wrotu tho Indianugcut u dainty note in admirable Frenchusklug permission to remain at Mrs. Gal-pln's. Tho request wna rclerrcu to BishopMarty, who would uot acquiesce, but'saidNellie must go to her father with all spued,as the old man was siok and needed herattendance.

"Tho homecomingwna a- terrible trial tothe girl, and all the whites about theagency and tho fort who knew of tho casepitied hor deeply. When eho entered herfather's topee, she fouud tho old chief mori-bund. Around him wore medlclno men,one of whom wag stuffing into tho dyingnian's month a nnuseous compound ofherbs, which tho stuffer had previouslyohowed into a ball. Tho girl was coldlywelcomed and almost Insulted when shoinsisted that tho nicdiclno men shouldleavo and the agency doctor bo summoned.Sho carried hor point after an appeal to thoagent, and tonderly nursed bur fatherthrough his few remaining hours of life.

"For a fortnight Nollic camo to theagenoy dally, riding on an Indian ponyin civilized fominlno fashion. Then horvisits became fewer, und then somo insist-ed—but were not believed—tha.t she haddoffed some of her civilized attire and rodo.astride. Then we missed hor altogether,and visitors to her tenco wore met with theIndian equivalent of' Not at homo.'

"Six weeks after Nollio's arrival atStanding Rock there was ono of tho fort-nightly boef killings in tho big corralacross the river. Tbeso killings in thoseflays were scenes of brutality aud bloodsuch as no white man would witness un -less duty called him thither. Extended doBcrlption would sorvo no eoot^ cnd- rJ-'l»imagination can picture what a corralWould bo whoreln slxscorc or lnoro bigbeasts had been shot to death aud wore be-ing dismembered by red. men nnd womenroused to a high pitch ot excitomeut.

"Those of ns who were in charge of thekilling were amazed to see Nellie TwoBears lu tho very wildest couter of sorenra-ing, blood bespattered squaws. Sho wasdressed in what the Indians doubtless re-garded as tho height of fashion—broad,nail bratuildcd belt, red leggings, porcu-pine quilled moccasins, Bhort calico sltirtjlilue issue cloth blouse. Her faco and partof her hair wore painted, and sho swung nbutcher knifo in ono hand, while lu thoother was a piece of raw liver of a recentlykilled steer, from which duinty morsol shenow and then took n liberal blto, as aschoolgirl would from u red streaked pip-pin.

"Wo could scarcely believe our eyes andcalled her by name She paid no atten-tion, but on our evidencing an iuteutiouto coino nearer to her Bho showed tho sav-ing grace of Bhame, covered her head intho blanket which hung at her hips andran out of tho corral to her horse, whichsho bestrode quickly and rodo to tho ferry.In a few weeks wo learned that tho edu-cated princess, tho girl who from tho agoof 7 to that of 18 lived amid tho most re-fined lnlluenccs, tho woman who we-ptwhen Bho had to return to tepee lifo, wasabout to bo married to a half breed namedHad Hipt a man with an unsavory reputa-tion, but noted as u hunter and with u cer-tain wild griiuo of his own nnd having agood deal of -influence among the Indians.

leave them to their own devices to cuteach uther's throats or obey tho gold whistledailvunlurur who'spells bis naino Aguinaldo.You may pronounce it if yon can You couldnot expect much else from the JForW, butwhen good old Senator Hoar, of Massa-chusetts, talks that way, too, there In a Bcrewloose somewhero. But to return to theWorld's report of Father's Cliidwick's lecture.In big typo it had this bending over the report1

"MAINE CHA1M.AI.V TALKS.Rev. Father Chidwick tells his hearers he isfippos d to imperialism. 'God forbid,1 besuld,' that imperialism should over got afoot-hold In our country,1

"All true government comes from the eon-sent of the governed. It is impossible thatwe are goiiiR to take a slup backward."

This is a fuir specimen of what the IndiaiiBcall talking with a forked tongue. Tlie re-port is true so' far as it goes, but it is not allthe truth. You suo tho World is an anti-iinperinlist and, forsooth, all our great monmust think as it dors or run tho risk of itsvituperative scurrility tind cavrieature. Thissame extract from its report of Father Chld-wick'g lecture is a good example of how aman may tell tho truth nnd Ho at the sametime. Fatber CMihvick did Bay all that theWorkVs report soys he did, and this inaddition ;

" No one can say we forced the war uponSpain. 70,000,000 of people restrained them-selves until au investigation flxod tho respon-sibility. Only after diplomacy was exhausteddid our nation ik'daro war. Tho movementin thu Philippines h not against iny princi-ples but is an absolute necessity. Wouldthere not be riot ami bloodshed there if wewithdrew our trnopsi We must hold them.It is a question of necessity. Our treaty ad-mits uf no oilier."

All of which sliows that Father Chidwickthinks there is n big difference between im-perialism and expansion,

Governor Konsevelt, of New York, presidedat tho lecture and fit its close said to that biguuilienne:

111 thank Father Cliidwick for tho wisdomanil piitieuco he has evinced to-night und Ihupu that those who have the destiuy of thunation in their Immls may bo imbued with asmall portion ol' the wisdom and love thatriHK In bis words to-night."

If that be anti Imperialism, inako the mostof it.

A one-armed trump named Jacob Wolflngerwas found near John Davfe's tool house attho I'usfc end nf tlio yard by somo parties whogot oil" S3 at Hoimtccmg.

After S3 passed be was foundl.Dtwuen tire two 11min tracks with a cut inhis head, one leg badly mushed and injuredinternally. Ho lived about two hours afterthey found him. This is a curious commen-tary on Iiisliop rotler*a assertion that " Thesaloun is tho pour man's club."

This particular poor man was somebody'sson, und if bis mother bo alive she will fee]his diatliiis keenly an if he had been a million-aire. In his ciis-e tho Baloou was a club tobeat his brains out and "send him to thojudgement suit <if t»od withal! his Imperfec-tions on his head."

it is proposed to codify tbe laws governing

might be as well to await KUL'II cortiilcatiou

before deciding upon a chan^o. It is true

that under tho charter of I8tK» not more than

Might You Aro.The Newark Sttmlay Call Bays of the Jer-

sey City water contract: " The Jersey Citywater contract has not been signed by theMayor yet, but as the ineu who (ire responsi-ble for him, in politics, are all In favor of thescheme, it is probable that the'delay Is forpublic entertainment only. The price is be-tween two and three millions too high, andnobody knows exactly who gets the benefit,but the needs of tho city are so great and it isso easy to borrow money by issuing bondsjust now, that the price will not bo considered.But It is a pity tho city does not at leastiiiBiat upon going further up stream for itswater.

An En te rp r i s ing Morchnut.That Henry E. Greengrass not only has

confidence In the future of Dover, but in will-ing to back his opinions, was shown when onSaturday of last week hu udded to his alreadycommodious Btore the store next door, havingbought out the dry goods business nf hisneighbor, James H. Simpson. By this ven-ture Mr. Greengrass becomes the owner ofthe largest dry t;oods store, in this city, his„acreage" being 00x50 feet, an archedpassage-way leading from one store to theother. By the purchase of Sir. Simpson'sstock Mr. Greeiigraes is enahJed to offermany very profitable bargains (to the pur-chaser) in fine dress goods, which linn was al-ways a notable feature of Air.

Runaway Aooldeut.A runaway accident caused considerable

hubbub on Dickerson street, lathe vicinity ofthe D-, L. & W. Railroad Btation, shortly be-fore 11 o'clock on Monday morning. Theprimary cause of It all was a train, the noiseof which frightened 5'horse, which was at-tached to & surrey, in which was seated G. S.Davis, driver for John Crabtree, of Mt,Arlington. The frightened animal dashed upthe street, but left the Burrey behind when heran pellmell into George Gardner's eoacb,which was standing near the curb oppositethe station.

A Shooting Match.A shooting match was held on Friday last

at Frank Class's Lake Denmark hotel betweenWatson Little, formerly of Kockaway, andFrank Cor, of Dover. - The conditions of thematch were twenty-five live birds per manfor twenty-five dollars a side, from five trapsat twenty-eight; yardn rise and fifty yardsboundary. The day was intensely cold andthe wind blew a gale, making it extremelyuncomfortable for both shooters and spec-tators. The birds were a fast lot and withthe aid of tbe strong wind that was blowingthey went like bullets and it required very 'fast and accurate shooting to stop themwithin, bounds. Little won tho match by a'score of fifteen to eleven. He made somelightning kills of fast birds and his score up Ito tbe nineteenth round was a very creditableone. Coz was outclassed from the start, hisstyle of shooting being entirely too Blow anddeliberate for the fast birds he drew. GeorgeShaw acted OH referee and Albert Richardspulled tbe traps.

Tho adjutant general of ouo of thodivisions, who was in a position to knowthe inside of things, ioJil mo at CampWikoff that the affair at Las Gnariiuasforced the rapid movements of the armyforward upon El Cauey and Sun Jnuuhill. The capture of that position drewthe army westward to Snvilla, where-there were excellent camping promuls,good water, room todeploy the divisionsand to receive the Spaniards iu case ofattack. It ivas snppoted by tunny of thogeneral officers that the army wnuldhalt in that camp for some timo in orderto yet up artillery and put tho wholeoutfit in fibuno for uu attack in tho di-reotion of Santiago.

In epite of the efforts of tho staff de-partments it wns impossible to land andtransport snppliea faster than tho menand animals nt tho front consumedthem. There was a lack of steamlaunches, lighters, scows aud wharfs.Tho army never had a threodaya' supplyof rations ahead.

There had been much marching andcountermarching to got the troops intoposition, and it waB very hot. Soldiershad no changes of clothing. All theybad with them was a rol) containing ablanket, in some cases a shelter tent,their arma and haversacks. Perspirationb'onked their underclothing as thoughthey had been in a bath, and tho fre-quent rains drenched them on tho ont-side. The soldiers say that while theywould not have minded this state ofthings ordinarily, yet, following thoirlong voyage, it left no time for recupera-tion. Tbe extreme heat and the peculiarodor rising from the soil affected theirappetites, and they could not relish theooarse army rations, nor procure any-thing whatsoever for variety. Thosewho had recourse to the native fruits,especially tho mango, paid dearly for it.Tbe mango is a little larger than a peach,shaped like a pear. Its meat is coarse,like that of the pumpkin; its rind likean apple, thick and tongh. The experi-enced Cubans warned Americans againBteating mangoes, as they Eaid they con-talued the germB of fever, but as theywere very cooling to tbo throat somemen, especially the volunteers, couldnot resist the temptation.

While tbo army was strong along tbeSantiago road between Daiqniri nndSavi))a, the regiun westward towardSantiago was reconnoitered. Just howcomplete these reoonnoieancca were ia amystery. I asked the etaff officers anddivision generals whether it was knownbeforehand that the approaches to SanJoan heights were exposed to Spanishview and fire from their works on thecrest, particularly tbe road and trail at

• the crossing of the San Juan river andits tributaries. I could learn nothing.The answerfl "were, *'I Eupposa that thiswas known at army headquarters.The fact remains that on July 1 beforothe battle opened tho troops found them-selves blocked in tbe road aud in thebeds of the streams after daylight with-in view of the Spaniards nnd withinrange of their small nrins.

It was Etated thnt a certain general,TPho refused to commit himself on anypoints likely to lead to controversy, ex-amined tho region thoroughly nnd reocinmended that trails bo cut parallel tothe main road and on both Bides of it.General Ohaffce said that the regionfar south of tbe road to Santiago wasexamined with u view to making an at-taok upon tho Fonta Gorda battery.The Puuta Gordn battery wns tbo firstobjective thought of after tho army eetIts face toward Santiago from the cast.This was tho strongest battery on tbo

' bay and by taking it Sbafter's armywould havo turned Morro, and, in fact,captured the key to tho land defensesof the harbor. But tbo ground in rearwan Impossible for an attack.

El Cauey had been thoroughly reoon*noitered as enrly ng Juno 27 three daysafter Las Guneimap, and three days be*fore the attack upon it. All tbo pnrtia-ulaxs as to approaches and defenseswere known at bead quart era.

Tbero was a difference of opinion

General Shatter eaysfrankly that thu preparations were notwhat ho detired them to bo, but thearmy, composed wholly of northernmen, was iu a hot and sickly climate,tbo rainy season wan corning on, whentho already bad roads would ba madeworse, a tropical storm duo at that timemight drive the navy as well as tho sup-ply ships fur out to tsea, and it -was ex-pected tbut General Paudo, with 8,000Spanish troons, would join the garrisonin tho ci;y. Under these conditionsShuf ter decided to force the battle atonco.

From that time ou until the begin-ning of tho parley over surrender, theelements active or threatening, the im-petuosity of the troops, cspucinlly whenthey camo within sight or range of thec-pauiartts, us well us the rest Jess andunsparing energy of "PCCOB Bill" Shnf-ter, combined to ruBh the army forwurdat a pace only compared to that of ahurricane.* All this time and afterwnrduntil theAmerican flag floated over Santiago thespirit of the soldiers wns: "Let UB go atthem! Lot us go at them!" This is notto fiay that tbero was indecent haste,that tbe men were ready to rush head-long into disaster. Tho result showsthat men of all ranks .wera prepared togo at tho task in tho deliberate, mannerset down for thorn in their instructions.They uovor for a moment forgot theseinstructions, line upon lino and preceptupon precept, aud it -was their coolnessand self control which saved tha armyfrom horrible disaster and gave it a vic-tory when the turn of a hand mighthavo precipitated dofent.

Tho Spaniards Enid that tho Ameri-cana violated tho rales of warfare bynot retrcatiug after receiving a volleyfrom the euemy. Thie method of fighting is not get down in the AmericantucticB. By going ahead in spite- of andin face of repeated volleys tho welltrained regulars took tbe Spnuinrda bysurprise, quite as much aS tbo smoke-less powder and deadly accuracy of theMauser amazed tho Americans.

Law ton bad about 5,000 men for theattack on El Cauey and tbu 151 Caneyheights before Santiago. The infantrydivision of Keut numbered about 4,500men and "Wheeler's dismounted cavalryabout 2,500, making 7,000 for tbe at-tack on San Junn heights.

tt'iidinK to maina Btubhoro fi^ht, in the viudiciit-inn otheir honor, fit tho gates of tlie cityThe troops generally shared thin view.

It hud been intended tip to June 34tbnt Lawton'n division tako a Klrong dofeneive position uorth of fcjjlinnuy laudIng, on the road to Santiago, that Kent'sdivision encamp west of Lawiou, ivhiJuWheeler's division •would hold tho roadfrom fiiboney back to Duiquori, thuskeeping tip land comiuunicution betweenthese two landings. TIIOKO iiositkWitliiu easy raugo of tho navy gum,wero to havo lie en niuintiu'ncd until althe troops, urtillery, trimsnortntioiwagons aud animals, mtiuus and am-munition wero eafeJy lamina mid dis-tributed.

The ndjntaut gonoral of ono of thodivisions, who was in ii notation to knowthe inside of things, told mo at CampWikoff that tlio ulTair nt Las Onafiinmsforced the rapid, movouiuutsof theurforward upon Kl Oauey and Sun Jauubill. Tlie oaptaro of that position drowthe army wostwnrd to SitviUn, wherethere woro oKcellout camping groin id a,good water, room to deploy tho divisionsand to rocoivo tho Spaniards in CUSG ofattack. I t wan euppoeed by ninny of tbogeneral officers that tlio army wouldbait in that cmnp for some tinioin orderto get up artillery and put tbo wholeontlit iu sbapu for an attack in tbo tlireotion of Suutiuyo.

In epito of the offorts of thu Btaff do-paitmente it wna impossible to land andtransport supplies faster than tbe inonand animalB at tho front consumedthem. Tliero was a lack of steamlaunches, lighter.", scows imd wharfs,Tbo army nevur bud a tbree days* supplyof rations abend,

There had been much inarching andcountermarching to tfot the troops intoposition, nnd it was very hot. Soldiersbad no changes of clothing. All theyhad with them was n roll containing nblanket, in Borne cases a sholter tent,their arms and haversacks. Perspirationeonked their utiderclothiiiR as thoughthoy hud been in a hath, und tho fre-quent rains drenched them ou tbo out-side. The Boldiora say that -while thoywould not have minded this state ofthiuga ordinarily, yet, following theirlong voyage, it left no thnoforrecupera*tion. Tbe extreme heat and tbo peculiarodor rising from tho soil affected thoirappetites, and they eould not reliGb thecoarse army rations, nor procure any-thing whatsoever for variety. Thosewho had recourse to tho native fruits,especially tbo mango, paid dearly for it.Tbe mango is a little larger than a peach,shaped like a pear. Its moat ie coatlike that of the pumpkin; itariud likoan applo, thick nnd tough. Tbo experi-enced Cubans warned Americans again Bteating mangoes, as thoy said they con-tained tbo gorms of fever, bnt aa tboywere very cooling to tho throat Bonnmen, especially tbo volunteers, couldnot resist tbo tomptatiou.

While tbo army was strung along theSantiago road between Daiquiri nndSavilla, tbe rogion westward towardSantiago was reconnoitered. Jnst bowcomplete these reoonnoisanooa were is amystery. I asked tbe ttuff officers anddivision generals whether it was knownbeforehand that the approaches to SunJuan heights wero exposed to Spanishview and fire from thoir works on thecrest, particularly tho road and tmil at

. tho oroesing of tbe Sau Junu river imdita tributaries. I could learn nothing.The answers were, " I suppose that thiswas known at army headquarters."The faot remains that on .Inly 1 beforetbe battle opened tbo troops found thorn-aelvea blocked in tho road and iu thebeds of tho etreoms after daylight with-in view of the Spaniards and withinrange of their small arms.

It was Etated that a certain goneial,who tof need to commit himself on nnypoints likely to lead to controversy, ex-amined tbe region thoroughly and roo-onuaeoded that trails bo cut parallel tothe main road and on both sides of it.General Gbuffoo said that the regionfar south of tho road to Santiago wasexamined with u view to making an at-taok upon the Punta Gorda battery.Tbe Punta Gorda battery was tho firstobjective) thought of after the army setits face toward Santiago from tbo cast.This was tho strongest battery on tbo

* bay and by taking it SUnftor's armywould have turned Morro, mid, in fact,captured tbe key to the land defensesof tbo harbor. But tho ground in rearwas impossible for an nttaok.

El Coney hart been thoroughly reoon-noiterod as onrly as June 27 threo daysafter LOB Guusiinne, and three days be-fore tbo nttaok upon it. All tho partic-ulars as to approaches und defenseswere known at headquarters.

On tho aoth Uouural Shuftorgave outhis orilor of dattlo, wiiicb was to currytho San J nan and El Oanuy roadhuightei, in order to bring Santiago cityunder hiH gunH.

General Shaftur saysfrankly that thu preparations wero notwbut hu dotirod them to be, but theurniy, compoKod wholly of northurumen, WHS in a hot and sickly cliuiato,tho rainy Koaenn was coming on, whentho already bad roads would be madeworse, a tropical storm duo at that timemight drive tbe navy as wull as the Bup-ply ships far out to sea, and it was ex-pected that Gonoral Pando, with 8,000Sp/inish troopn, would join the garrisonin tho city. Under tliero conditionsShufter decided to force tbo battle uton cu.

This is notto Bay that there was indeoonfc basto,that tho men were ready to rush bend-long into disaster. Tho rosult sbowethat men of all ranks wore propnred togo at the task in the deliberate mannersot down for them in their instructions.They never for a moment forgot thoseinstructions, lino upon lino and preceptupon precept, and it was their coolnosannd self control which saved tho arrayfrom burriblu disaster and gave i ta vic-tory when the turn of a baud mighthavo precipitated defeat.

The Spaniards Enid that the Ameri-cans violated tbe rules of warfare bynot rotrcatiug after receiving a volloyfrom the enemy. This method of fight-ing is not f-ct down in the Americantactics.

There Is a ri.Tuyim.n in th i s r i tywl iofcne cuino tn ln'lirvi> firmly i ln*t in: knownliltiuof thonttyKof 11)0 world, mid uspL*-cliilly of thut part piTluIniuf? to the nmn-ntfrnnent of a railrn:id. This clergy mini ifwell known nil over tliu euiiinrv. mid hobaB frequent culls from w<Mrni ci ins forhis sorviceG. UP con .ien lull to viMt a snmllcity iu tbo west, nfw < •olumhus O.,and dedicate n new church ilia hml JUJ-Vbeen built. Accordingly, li» took u ni^httrain, and about 21 huurs J;.ti>r lm iv.vlirdthe city. Ho wns im-t l>y u ileli^fitiunfrom the church nnd WHS tJiken ut once tutbo best hotel in tho llrtln pliwe and muilua* comfortublo nd poPKilitii.

Tho duty tlmt ho canio to tho town toperform was properly curried uut, and hubegun tospfcultitu upon tin; hent way toget homo, He fuuml tti.-i by cutnhinj* atrain thut went throujili thu tuwn ut 5o'clock in tho morning hu could yot JiumoIn tlrno to fulfill an rnfja^uuuiiL of im-portance BO hu clodded lo tako that triiln.He relumed tlio kiuil offers uf Kuv^ral pi*r-eona to como around mid tako him tu thostation, Ho fluid ho would nwiikun iilni-eolf and that ho would not IHIUUT any ono,but would Blip out quietly early In thomorning, Tlio train hu WIIB in tu to didnot Ktnp nt tho town unions fhifXKcil. Ho•vlalted tho fitation a ^ n t and aski'd him ifbo would ling tho train. Tho uj:t'iit snldregretfully thnt. ho went ho me at \> o'clockat night nnd did not eumu bunk imttt 8o'clock the next morning, hut hu wouldcome down to oliligo iho IDIIIIHIUI1, Thoclergyman declined thlti kind olTur, andBald time if tho agent would li'HVoa lan-tern out whoro hn v.m\\A liml it ho wouldlight it und flag tliu truln liltiifivlf.

Tbifl ugruuiiiunt was Hindu and thu olor-gymnn went homo and rntii-eil early.About 4 o'eloL-1; IIH was ustir, nnd afterpacking M\) hu wnllu'il iluvfli to thu sti.-tlon, a short dtKtiinco nwuy. Ho reachudthereabout 4:55 o'clock by MB watch. Hofound tho lantern and lighted It nml eatdown to wait for tho train.

Now everything was all right excjptthat this minister wns an iih.suntinlndi'dono nnd had never runlizud that thorn wasan hour's diffcrenco In time hutwucn NowYork nnd tho Ohio town. It was G o'clockbyhlawatoh, New York time, but only io'clock western thno, and so ho was anhour ah end ot tliuo. It waa 0 o'clock hyhlatinio whoii tho train whs duo. Hu hudWflltod only a fow nioniontH whon t\ bigtrain caniD rattling along, ilo FHW thoheadlight flaro up through tho clorknusBund ho stopped out nnd swung his Ian-torn. Tho train drow nearer and nenrorand slowed up and finally canio to a lullstop.

Then tho clergyman discovered that hobod pulled down a lony fruight. Hu WHSspoochleas with surprise, but tho engineerwasn't. When ho learned tho conditionof nifatrB, ho broko looso with a tovront ofabuse, to which tho minister inado no ro-ply. Thoongineor fluully ultmbcd baokon his engine nnd oponcd tho throttle. Itwaa ncold winter morning and the enginecreaked, puffml, enoitotl, whoezed and thowheels spun fnuiticnlly In yetting tho bigtrain started. Finally ho pot under wayand lofb tho clergyman behind, but stillIgnorant of his time Bchwlulo being awry.

Ho pondered over tho situation andfinally caiuo to tho cnnolusiou thut thopaBsongor train was luto and thutj tillstrolght was put in ahortd on a Bpeclalsabodulo. About ten minutes later hosaw another he»OUghb blnzo up in tho dlB-tanco and felt confldont thnt tbis was thepassenger. So ho stepped out and swunghis lantern. Tho result was that tho trnln•lowed up and stopped, nnd whon hs dis-cerned its outline through tho datknessbe woa almost stunned to eno that ho hadpullod down another big freight—as hosoon learned, the second Ecotlon of tho onethat ho had flrsl fatoppod. Thoru waa noth-ing to do but apologize uud utand theabuse. This engineer also got his trainunderway with difficulty and. failed tooomiuent on tho tlmu dltTcronco.

After this tho minister eald grimly thathe would stop everything that wontthrough tbero until he got bis train, anda fow momenta later whoa ho saw anotherfaeadllRbt careening along toward tho sta-tion ho manfully, although with a sinkingsensation at his henrt, stepped, out andflagged It, This time-ho pullod down aheavy construction train, and whon hesaw tho result; be threw up his hands Indespair. Tho conductor of this trainproved to bo a carditvl sort of citizen, whowasn't greatly put out. Ho explainedwhoroatl tho troubio wan, after hearingthe clergyman's story, and then eald:

"Hero 1 You h«d bottnr got on this trainwith, mo and I will t&ko you up to Coluui-bUB. That will put a stop to your flag-ging everything that comes nlong."

Tbla suggestion wasnecoptud, nnd whonthe passenger train rolled into tlto stationat Columbus the minister climbed onboard. When the conductor camo throughfor bis ticket tho minister fin id genially:

"I snved you a lot of trou bio thlB morn-inst."

"How waathatP" etvld tho conductor."I was going to got on down nt C—,'

•alii tho minister, "and I wits to flng you,but instond I happened to flng a construo-fcion train, and tho conductor brought meUp hero to eavo tho trouble at etopplugyou."

An ominous look came into tho con-dnotor's oye as ho eaid in a forbiddingway;

"What did you nag him with?""Why, a lantern, of courso," eald tho

clergyman."What did you do with It afterward?"

•aid tho conductor, and tho Hues aroundblB mouth hardened.

"Why," said tho minister, instinotlvelyfeeling that thero was Bowiothlng wrong," I pat it down on tho platform, where- tboagent could got it whon ho oamo along."

"Yea," eald tho conductor wearily,"just wboro it would flng nnything thatoamo along. Next time you want to flaga train, parron, you got an ugont to do itfor you. You stopped me all right downthero, and if I hadn't put tho light outand put tho lantern nwny you would haveatoppod everything that cawo along therountil the agent got down."—"Now YorkTrlbans.

'It must bu a singularly useless artialethut oan't bo gold In this city for BOIDBpurpueo to boiuobody," roiimrkod thocasual obsurver to a friend.

lie I* a rc*"HMimi»er Alan and One ofMuny In the Employ of the State.Matter* Moving Slowly—Many NewIUlU UaTe Been Introduced, andMore Activity I* Expected In An-other Week.

[Special Correspondence.]Trenton, Feb. 1.—The fourth week of

he legislative session closed withoutleveloping the expected spurt of actlvl-y on part of the lawmakers. About the>nly special indication of energy thiseek was In the Introduction of new

iltlB, of which there has been quite alood. It Is now said that the legiala-ure will strike its working gait nextveek and begin In earnest the conslder-tlon and discussion of some of theuore Important measures pending. Sen-tor McDermott before adjournmentyesterday tried to get his constitutionallonvention resolution set down as aipecial order for next Monday evening,jut the Republicans would not have ito, and Senutor W. M. Johnson's motiono refer the resolution to the judiciarylonimlttee prevailed. Mr. McDermott'slght now doubtless will be to get thenatter out of committee, and this willreclpitate a lively discussion one of

;hese fine days. The Democrats are do-ng their best to make political capitalut ot the matter, urging that only

:hrough a constitutional convention of;he people's delegates can proper reme-ies be established for curbing the

growth of monopolies and preventinghe formation of trusts antagonistic topopular Interests. They hold that little;an be hoped for through the legisla-ture, owing to the dominance of cor-porate Influences at the statehouse. TheRepublicans, on the other hand, beingIOW safely Intrenched in power, do not'ancy the throwing down of the bars byproviding for a constitutional conven-tion which might introduce radicalchanges in our system of governmentand serve as a stepping stone for re-urning the Democratic party to power.ft Is claimed that all the necessary re-lorms In relation to state control of cor-porations can be provided by legislative!ict and that such reforms shall beforthcoming In due season.

JVew Stnte Librarian.The political headsman has got In his

.ork at the state library as anticipated,aut the Job has not resulted to the en-tire satisfaction of the executioner.Colonel Morris R. Hamilton, the statelibrarian, has been displaced, but In hisstead another newspaper man has beenappointed, who Is in no sense a rankjartlsan. The new appointee is HenryC. Buchanan, news editor of the Tren-ton State Gazette and Trenton corre-spondent of the New York Sun. Mr.Buchanan has served a long appren-iceship to Journalism, having begunat the case" and through sheer merit

mounted to the proofreader's desk andthen to the most responsible position Inthe office of a leading New Jersey dally.He Is a man of marked force of charac-ter, possessing fine executive qualitiesIn addition to the ability to write co-gently and interestingly. He will bemissed, for awhile at all events, fromThe Gazette, but the transfer to themore placid duties of state librarianmust be for himself a great relief. Mr.Buchanan Is a Republican, but not ofthe aggressive sort, and his selection Is'ery pleasing to those who had no sym-lathy with the horde of now disap-

pointed office seekers who brought aboutState Librarian Hamilton's removal.Mr. Buchanan was a twelfth hour can-didate, but an easy winner. His termIs for five years.

Newspaper men, by the way, are do-ing fairly well In public life In NewJersey. The secretary of state is EditorWurts of the Paterson Press, while Ed-itor Cloke of the New Brunswick Fre-,donlan is one of the riparian commis-sioners. Other berths of less promi-nence are held by newspaper men. Inthe legislative organization not a fewplums fell to the craft. The senate Isparticularly favorable In this direction.President Reed's private secretary IsCharles H. Bateman of the SomervllleUnionist-Gazette, Editors Barber ofGloucester and Lindsley of Morris aresecretary and assistant'secretary of thesenate respectively, while Edgar "Wil-liams ot the Orange Journal Is engross-ing clerk. Then there are Walter E.Edge of Atlantic, Journal clerk; JohnW. Clirt of Union, assistant Journalclerk; William H. Fischer of Ocean,calendar clerk, and others. And It maybe said with truth that there has neverbeen a more efficient set of legislativeofficials.

Stokea' School Bill.Senator Stokes' bill to secure an an-

nual allowance from the general statefunds for the maintenance oC the publicschools, which was commented on inthla correspondence last week, has beenattracting favorable mention in thenewspaperfl of the state. In its originalCorm It did not fix the amount of theannual appropriation, but left It to bedecided by each legislature. Yesterday,however, the senator, after thinkingthe matter over, had an amendmentInserted providing that the minimumamount to be appropriated each year-ihould be $100,000. It Is hoped that there

l be an opportunity to vote a muchlurger sum.

In discussing the bill with your corre-spondent Senator Stokes said: "Thegeneral party.policy should be econom-ical administration of nUite affairs ant'the distribution of the available fundsover and above the expenditure re-quired to the taxing districts to rellovothe burdens of local taxation, Nowhow can this best bo accomplished?Among the plans heretofore adopted, Inaddition to the state's expenditure forthe care of the Insane, the blind and th>feeble minded and the defectlve.claEsesgenerally, which to this extent relievesthe taxpayer of the burden of theirmaintenance, $100,000 has been added tothe state school appropriation, andabout $200,000 of the revenue from th>railroad tax has been remanded to thseveral taking districts through whichaa|d railroads pass.

concerning «somewhat hei>itutiin;ly t'.ild mi) tlmthe compositors in his (If-purlmint 1ten eevcral editorial urtiflcfi, by way of ex-periment, and that tliuy were Kor>d, bo tin-foreman thought. Butthe yuungprinter hu.ldestroyed Lid productions, uft«r (Mining tl»*ruaround nniong his mtinmtes in Uio olhce.Would the editor-iii-ciiii'f like m h>-k at oneof the young man'B writings f I Biiid Ibe glad to ktm one, and if lit' sent nthing worth printing it should be used, amithe writer should bo paid for it.

A few hours later, it bundle <>r sheets ofManila paper was hurt on my desk by Mr.Turrell, the forenmn, who, with a smile, midthat tho young printer had h»]»i>t>n<Ml l'» haveready an article which he WUH willing to H\I\Ymit to my judgment. I rend the |IH|HT atfirst with a pnwcupifd mind and iu haste,and then with attentivem.-KS and wonderConsidering the source from whidi it auue,the article WUH to me reniarkuble. I ret-ol-lect that it was written in a delicate, almostfeminine hand, in lines very far apart, andmating altogether a hulk which hud at first,misled mo us to the iiL'tual length of tho dis-quiBltiou. The urtk-la was not long, and wasentitled " Tha Strides of » Giant "; it WHS de-scriptive of( tho gradual rxtetiRinri of theAsiatic frontier*. «f Itussid, tho chniiKPt; thathad taken place in tbe relations <if the Euro-pean powers, and the npparimt sympatheticapproach of the United States andtoward each other.

In some doubt an to the originality of thispaper, sent to me by a young and unknownprinter, I first looked through tho Americanand foreign reviews on my table, then, satis-fying myself that the article had not betn" cribbed " from any of these publications, Ichanged the title to "The Two Giant*," uwlprinted it an the ''lender" lu the Tim™ ofNovember 30, 1800. Let me Hay that wh<told my foreman that, surprised by- the ex-cellence of the Kuglish, and the eruditionexhibited iu tho article, I had some doubtsconcerning the orginuHty of tlie youngprinter's work, he warmly replied that theyoung fellow was a thoroughly honest manand would no more borrow ideas than liewould Bteal. Oh, no; my good friend Turrelwould riak his reputation on tiio young com-positor's honesty. * * •

The foreman said tbat if I were curious toBee the young man, I would find him utcertain caee, so many cases from the entranceto the eompaslug room. I looked with someinterest, and was disappointed to ilud thatmy vigorous and well-informed contributorwas a little man, so short that he had prvided himself with a bit of plank o whichhe stood at a case too tall for him. lie waiapparently then about twenty-five yeanold, but in fact was ten years older, as hewas born in 1831. His auburn hair wos thinand the youthfulness of his face was disputedby the partial baldness of his head; bis blmeyes were lambent with animation and acertain look of mirth fulness.

Near acquaintance with Henry George con-firmed me iu my strong prepossession In hifavor. He WBB bright, alert, good-humoredand full of fun; yet his talk showed thatiiwas a thinker, tbat he thought independentlyof all writers, and that be had wide, seriousand original views of life. The man's manner,his simplicity, his diffidence aud absolutesincerity, captivated me, and I liked himthoroughly and at onco. He continued tocontribute to the editorial page of the paper,uometitneB with a fertility of production tbatdismayed mo; and, after a few weeks,vacancy having suddenly happened in myeditorial staff, I invited George to the place.Be was given a comfortable salary and fronthat time forth ho Bet type no more.

tHB RELAPSE OFAN INDIAN PRINCESS

INTO BARBARITY.

fche Didn't lVunt *« Ileturn to tlioTribe, but She "Went — Inatend ofWeani 11 K the Indian* From SUT-Bicerr Slie llcvnme wut They Were.

A man who has had wide experience Intrying to mako tlio Indian civilized byeducation and who 1B not hostile entirelyto the Ideas iuoulcaUd at Carlisle andHampton said to a St. Paul correspondentof tho New York Sun:

"One instance of a complete return toaboriginal manners, mode of thought anddiflgraco of lining which camo within myknowledge may (serve to points a moral.When 7 years old, Nellie Mat-nopath. (TwoBears), daughter of tho principal und h«-rocUtary chief of the great Sioux trihokn°,wn aa the Lower Yunktonals, wnaBont, her father concurring, to a Cutholloschool in St. Joseph, Mo. .Sho was abright girl, with other claims than birthto the title of princess, and rapidly ac-quired a good knowledge not only of Eng-llah, but of French, while In needleworkand housewifely gifts sho displayed anaptitude that chcorcd tho hearts of thogentle Bisters, her teachers, and led themto hope thut, arrired at woman's estate,Nellie would well repay their caro andtoil by the influence sho would exertamong her people.

"When Bho reached tho age of 18 andafter more than 11 yeura iu the conventand among tho whites (for she wns not al-lowed, for reasons tlint Boomed good, tovisit her people during her educatingNelliowaa told that tho time had como fopher to repay tho sisters und prlostB olioloved for all they hud ilono for her behalf,and that hereafter Bho must llvo with herown kindred and seek by example undprecept to wean them from their wivageryto propor modes of living. Tho youngwoman wept bitterly, pleudcd hard to hoallowed to stay in the convent as a teach-er, pointed out how distasteful the coarselife of the tepee would be to one who kneweo well tho amenities of life, and urged,further, thet from what she know of hertribe Bho would not be welcome shouldehe try to induce them to adopt tho cus-tomB of the whites. But her teachers werefirm, and properly so, £inco it had been acondition precedent with her father—anenlightened chief, BO fax as his environ-ment would penult—whon ho permittedher to go to St. Joseph, that when she hadcompleted her course of instruction sheshould return to him and to his life.

"So with many tears sho loft her schooland uf ter a long boat journey up the MIB-eouri, during which fiho \vns made muchof by eovoral wives of oflteers who wore onthe way to Fort Yatos, sho arrived at thoagency, within three miles of which hopfather and her tribe wcro encamped. Shewent at once to the house of Mrs, Galpln,an Indian woman of much influenceamong the Sioui and with several welleducated half breed daughters. rriio duyafter her arrival sho wrote tho Indlnnagent a dainty note in admirable Frenchasking permission to remain at Mrs, 'Gal-pin'a. Tho request was referred to IJishopMarty, who would iiofc acquiesco, bub saidNellie must go to her father with all speed,as the old man was sick and needed hotattendance,

"Tho homecoming.waa a terrible trial totho girl, and all the whites about thoagency and tho fort who know of tho casepitied her deeply. When sho entered herfather's topee, she found tlio old chief mori-bund. Around him were medicine men,ono of whom, was stuffing into tho dyingman'B mouth a nauseous compound ofherbs, which the stuffer had previouslyohewed into a ball. Tho girl waa coldlywelcomed and almost insulted when sheinsisted that the medlclno men should,leave And tho agenoy doctor bo summoned.She carried her point after, on appeal to thoagent, and tenderly nursed her fatherthrough his few remaining hours of lifo,

"For a fortnight Nollie came to thoagency daily, riding on an Indian pony-in civilized feminine fashion. Thou hervisits became fewor, nnd then some insist-ed—but were not believed—that eho haddoffed Bomo of her civilized attire and rodoastride. Then we missed her altogether,nnd visitors to her topeowero met with theIndian equivalent of 'Not at homo. •

"Six weeks after Nellio's arrival atStanding Bock thoro was ono of tho fort-nightly beef killings In tlio big corralacross the river. These killings in thosedays were scenes of brutality and bloodsuch oa EO white man would witness unless duty called him thither. Extended de-scription would serve no good end. Theimagination can picture what a corralwould bo whoroin sixaeorG or more bigbeaata had boon shot to death and wero bo-ing dismembered by red men and womenroused to.a high pitch of excitement.

"Those of us who wore in chargo of thekilling were amazed to BCO Nollio TwoBears in the very wildest center of aorenm-ing, blood bespattered, squaws. Sho wasdressed in what tho 'Indians doubtless re-garded us tho height of fashion—broad,nail bestudded bolt, red leggings, porcu-pine quilled moccasins, short calico skirt,blue Issue cloth blouse. &er fnco and partof her hair wero painted, and she swung abutcher knife in ono hand, while in theother was a piece of raw liver of a recentlykilled steer, from which dainty morsel shenow and then took a liberal bito, as aschoolgirl would from a red streaked pip-pin.

""Wo could scarcely believe our eyes andcalled her by name. Sho paid no atten-tion, but on our ovidenolng an intontionto come nearer to her sho showed the sav-ing grace of shame, covered her head intho blanket which hung at her hips andrau out of the corral to her horso, whichBho bestrode quickly nnd rode to the ferry.I*1 a fow weeks wo learned that tho eilu-

. catud prlncesa, tho girl who frpm tho ago° r 1 to that of 18 lived amid tho most rd-flnod influences, tho •woman who weptw'ion Bho had to return to tcpeo lifo, wasabout to bo married to a half breed namedBod Hip, a man with an unsavory ropnfci-tion, but noted as a hunter and with u cer-tain wild graco of his own and having agood deal of iullueuco among tho Indians,''

L,a me, how.Boine of these newspapers dis->rt things i Father Chidwick delivered a

lecture in Carnegie Hall tbo otber night andif a fellow only read the Evening iVorld'a•eport of it hu would be apt to gut it twisted.iTou know the World is ono of those antiexpansion chaps who think Dewey ought to[boulder his licet and run away from thei'hiUppiims or swim away, if you'd ratherhave it that way, and leave the inhabitantstf .the Wands to the tender mercies of Spain

or leave tucin to their own devices to cuteach other's throats or obey the gold whistledadventurer who spplls hla namo Aguinnldo.You may pronouuce'lt if you can You couldnot expect much elso from the World, butwhen good old Senator Hoar, of Massacuusetts, talks that way, too, there is a screwDOSQ somewhere. But to return to theWorld'a report pi Father's LJIiidwick'a lecture,In big type it had this heading over the report1

"MAINE CHAPLAIN TALKS.Rev. Father Cbldwick tells his hearers he isDppos d to imperialism. ' God forbid,' hemi&,' that imperialism should ever get a foot-hold in our country.1

"All true government comes from the con-sent of the governed. It is impossible thatwe are going to take a step backward."

This is a fair specimen of what the Indians:-all talking with a forked tongue. The re.port ia true so far as ib goes, but it is not allthe. truth. You see the World la an anti-imperialist and, forsooth, all our great menmust think as i t does or run the risk of itsvituperative scurrility and carrlcature. Thissnmo extract from its report of Fattier Chid-ivlck's lecture Is a good example of bow aman may tell tlio truth and lie a t the sametime, Father Chidwiok did Bay all that tbBWorlrVs report soya he did, and this inaddition:

No ono ctin saj» we forced the war uponSpain. 70,000,000 of people restrained them-selves uutil an fnvestigatlon fixed the respon^f-ibllity. Only after dlplouiuey was exhausteddid our nation declare war. The movementin tlio Philippines ia not against my princi-ples but is an absolute necessity. Wouldihoro not bo riot and bloodshed there if wewithdrew our troops? We must hold them.It inn-question of necessity.* Our treaty ad>initsof no otber."

All of which shows that Father Chidwicktbiuks there is a big difference between im-perinlism and expansion.

Governor ItoosDvelt, of New York, presidedat the lecture nnd a t its close said to that bigaudience:

I thank Father Cbidwick'for the wluloniand patience he bus evinced to-night and Ihupti thuL those who have thu destiny of tho

ation in their bunds may bo iiubuea with asmall portion of tho wisdom and love thatring In his words to-night."

If that be untl iaipuriuHsm, make the moalof it,

A one-armed tramp named Jacob Wolflngorwus found near John Pavls's tool house althe east oud of tho yard by some parties wliogot off 65 a t Honn tcong. He and two others

After 85 passed he was foundbetween tho two main tracks with a cut inhis bead, one leg badly mashed and injurecinternally. Lie lived about two hours afteithey found him. This Is a. curious commenfcury on Bishop Potter's assertion that " ThisaJoon Is tho poor man's club."

Tbis particular poor man was somebody1!son, and if his mother he. alive aha will feolhis death as keenly act if ho bad been a million-aire, • In his cate the saloon was'a club tobeat his brains out and "send him to thijudgement scat of Goi with all his Imperfectinns nil his liend."

fur u public meeting, to bu held next Wednes-day evening iu the Baker Opera House, forth© purpose of canvassing tho municipal situ-ation with a view to devising remedial legiilation. By tho decision of the Court ofErrors and Appeals in the quo wax runto case,which in all likelihood will be bunded downthis mouth, Dover will be rtilogntwd to thestatus of a town, tho charter of lWi'J takingthe place of thy act of 1S95. Whether to COILtinue as a town under that (.'barter is a ques-tion for the citizens to decide. Inasmuch asit in proposed to codify tho laws governingcities, lwrougbs, towns and U»vu.tuip.st itmight be as well to await such codillcatioibefore deciding upon u clan^o. It is trueChat under the charter of 18t>'.» not more th$5,000 can be raised for town purposes, but alittle enforced economy may not come amiss,Besides, if it be thought absolutely necessarytu raise more, an amendment to that affeelcould easily lie pasned. However, this if noa matter over which the people of Dover needbreak their iiecks. Thoro's luck in lemurt

MA YOU Hoos, of Jersey City, on Wi'dday signed the resolution awarding the contract to supply Jersey City with water foithe Bum of $7,r.(J5,000. The contract will indoubt be certiorarled.

IN THEIR desperation Democrats of prom-inence are seriously thinking of kidnappingRepublican to put at the head of the Demo-cratic ticket when it comes time to elect Esuccessor to President McKiuley. And tothink 1 I t is Dewey whom they propone tokidnap. It is to laugh,

YESTERDAY was Candlemas Day, and as itwas a bright, EUnshiny day winter may liexpected to linger long in the lap of spring,If there be any truth in the couplet whichhas It that

"If Candlemas Day be fair and clear,Three winters then you'll have that year.'

Ittielit You Are.The Newark Sunday Call says of the Jer-

sey City water contract: " The Jersey Citywater contract has not been signed by theMayor yet, but as the men who are responsi-ble for him, in politics, are all in favor of thescheme, it is probable that the delay is forpublic entertainment only. The price ta be-tween two and three millions too high, andnobody knows exactly who gets the benefit,but the needs of the city are so great and it Isso easy to borrow money by issuing bondsjust now, that the price will not be considered.But it Is a pity the city does not at leastInsist upon going further up stream for iUwater. The proposed intake is in a placewhere contamination seems almost inevit-able."

iolllded with and overturned a carriage in'hich Mrs. Richard Bassett and her sonfliomas were driving toward Dover. Both

Mrs. BasBett and her son were thrown out,;he latter striking on his head. They were10th bruised and badly shaken up, but wereiot Beriously injured. To tell how it hap-pened that a horse, without a driver was on.be road juBt then is to relate another accl-ient. John Peters, who IB employed by JohnForce, was returning from Kenvil and whenthis Bide of Kenvil, at the foot of the westerndope of Mine Hill, the horse shied and Peterswas thrown out. The horse continued on itsway homa and was coming down the hillabove the Baker tract at a pretty lively gait,and at the bottom of the hill collided withmd upset the Bassett conveyance. Force'slorse broke loose from the carriage to whichit was attached and continued on until itarrived at the Btable. Mr. Force, when hesaw the horse come in without driver or car-*iage, Btarted out and found his carriage atthe foot of the hill. Here he learned of theiccldent which happened to the Bassetts, but

was informed that they were not seriouslyiurt. Peters was bruised badly but was notitherwise injured.

Runaway Accident,A runaway accident caused considerable

lubbub on Dickeraon Btreet, in the vicinity ofthe D., L. & W. Railroad station, shortly be-Fore 11 o'clock on Monday morning. Theirimary cause of it all was a train, the noiseif which frightened a horse, which waa at-

tached to a surrey, in which was seated 6 . S.Davis, driver for John Crabtree, of Mt.Arlington. The frightened animal dashed upthe Btreet, but left the surrey behind when he*an pellmBll into George Gardner's coach,which was Btandlng near the curb oppositethe station. Davla was left behind too, helaving tumbled head foremost from themrrey as a result of the sudden Btop. Whenpicked up it was found that he had sustaineda painful laceration overthe right eye. John

\ Force took the injured man to KJlIgore'spharmacy, where Sr. R. L. Cook attendediim, The runaway horse was stopped on

Warren Btreet by J. C. Rinehart, who hap-pened opportunely along, Thewhiruetrees ofthe surrey were broken and the shafts anddashboard of Gardner's ^carriage weredamaged as a result of the collision. Gard-ner's damage was made good by Mr. Crab-Tee. *

A Shootlnar Match.A shooting match was held on Friday last

at Frank Class's Lake Denmark hotel betweenWatson Little, formerly of Rockaway, andFrank Cox, of Dover. The conditions of thematch were twenty-five live birds per mantar twenty-five dollars a side, from five trapBat twenty-eight yards rise and fifty yardsboundary. The day was intensely cold and;he wind blew a gale, making it extremelyuncomfortable for both shooters and spec-tators. The blrdH were a fast lot aud with1)0 aid of the strong wind that was blowing,hey went like bullets and it required veryfast and accurate Bhooting to stop themwithin bounds. Little won the match by ascore of fifteen to eleven. He made somelightning kills of fast birds and hia score upto tbe nineteenth round was a very creditableone. Cox was outclassed from the start, hisstyle of Bhooting being entirely too slow anddeliberate for the fast blrdB he drew. GeorgeShaw acted aa refereB and Albert Richardspulled the traps. The score follows:

J wero iinti to muko

a Btubborn fight, in tlio viwiicution oftheir honor, at tbo ^iitea of tlio city.The troops generally Huured this view.

It Imd boon intended up to Juue 24that Lawton'R division taku attronp dnfeueive position north of Sibonuy laud-ing, on tho road toSautiagn, tlmt Kent'sdivialon encamp west of jLmviou, whiluWheeler's division would hold tho roadfioni Siboiicy back to Daiquori, thuBkeeping up Iniiduoiutniiniciitimi betwooutheso two landings. These positions,within easy range of tho navy RniiB,were to havo been imiiuttijuuri until allthe troops, artillery, transportationwagons and animals, rations and um-mnnitinn were safely laudod and die-tri bated.

The adjutant gcnornl of ono of thodivisions, who was iu a position to knowthe inside of things, told mo at CampWikotX that tho nffivir at Las GmuuninBforced the rapid movements of the armyforward upon El Oauoy mirj San Jnanhill. TUG capture of that position drewthe army westward to Havilla, wherethero wore excellent (jumping grounds,good water, room to deploy thodivinionsand to recoivo the Spaniards in caso ofattack. It was enpposod by many of tbogeneral officers that the nrmy wouldbait iu that camp for some timo in orderto get up artillery ftiul put; tho wholeontflt in suupu for an attnok iu tho di-rection of Santiago.

In Epito of the efforts of tbo stuff de-partments it was impossible to land andtransport supplies faster than tho menand animals nfc thu front consumedthem. Thore was a luck of steamlaunches,' lighters, BOOWB and wharfs.The army novor had a threo days' supplyof rations abend.

Thero had been mtich marching nndconntermarching to got tbo troops intoposition, nnd it "was very hot. Soldiershad no changes of clothing. All theyhad with them WOB a roll containing ablanket, in some cases a shelter tent,their arms nnd havorsackB. Perspirationsoaked thoir underclothing as thoughthey had been in a bath, nnd tho fre-quent rains drenched thorn on tho out-Bide. The soldiers HOT tlmt while theywonld not have minded this state ofthings ordinarily, yet, following theirlougvoyago, it left no timo for reenpera-tion. The extromo heat aud tbo peculiarodor rising from tbe soil affected theirflppotitoa, and they could not relish tbocoarse nrmy rations, cor procure any'thing whatsoever for variety. Thosewho had recourse to the native fruits,especially tbe mango, paid dourly for it.Them mi go is a little largor than a peach,shaped llko a pear. Ita meat is coarse,like that of the pumpkin; its rind likefin apple, thick and tough. Tbo experi-enced Onbana warned Americana againsteating mangoes, as they Baid they con-tained tho germs of fever, but as theyweze very cooling to tho throat somemen, especially tho volunteer^ couldnot resist tbe temptation.

While tbo army was strung along thoSantiago road between Daiquiri andSavilla, the region westward towardSantiago was reconnoitered. Just howcomplete these recounoiaaucos wero is amystery. I asked tbo etaff ofllcers anddivision generals whether it was knownbeforehand that tbe approaches to SanJnan heights wero exposed to Spanishview and fire from their works on thecrest, particularly tbo road and trail atthe orosaing of tbo Sau Juan river andita tributaries. I could learn nothing.The answers were, " I suppose that thiswas known at army headquarters,M

The faot remains that on July 1 beforethe battlo opened the troops found thotu-eelvoa blocked in tbo road and in tbobeds of the streams after daylight with-in view of the Spaniards and withinrange of their small arms.

It was etated that a cortain general,Who refused to commit himeolf on anypoints likely to lead to controversy, ex-amined the region thoroughly and rec-ommended that trails bo cut parallel tothe main load and on both sides of it.General Ghnffee Baid that the regionfar south of tbe road to Santiago wasexamined with u view to making an nt-taok upon tbo Pnnta Gorda battory.The Pnnta Gorda battery was tbo firstObjective thought of after the army setHa face toward Santiago from tho oast.This was the strongest bnttery on tbobay and by taking it Shatter's armywonld havo turned Morro, aud, in fact,captured the key to tho Innd defensesof the barboi. But the ground in rearwas impossible for un attack.

El Caney had been thotouchly recon*noitered as early as Juno 2? threo daysafter Los Gnueiiuae, nnd throe days bo-fore tho attaok upon it. All tho partic-ulars as to approaches and defenseswere known at headquarters.

On tbo astli and 29th of June tbowhnlo corps moved forward from tboSavilla camp toward Santiago, bringingup between Lu Rcdondu und El Poso.Kl Poso is a narrow defile betweenmountains. Before descending into tliodefile, the troops ubtuiuod from tho topHof tho inouiitaiiiB on either aide of thoroad gliiupmjH of Santiago aud El Cimuywith tboir ckfcuifiQH and of tbo niouu-tains and vnlleya intervening.

On tho 30th Ueueral Shuf ter gave outhis order of battlo, which was to carrytho Sun Juan nud El Cauey roadhoightK, in order to bring Santiago cityunder bis £>UUH. From tho highest tothe lowest tbe Boldiore Baid that thopreparations for thin attack wero furfrom what tboy had expected, frumwhat they should have boen, in order toiimiro Biiccena und what tboy mighthave been after n few days' delay Imild-iug wharfs and roads and putting onwagon tru ins. Ueueral Shaf tor Baysfrankly tlmt tbo preparations wero notwhat ho desired them to bo, but tliearmy, composed wholly of northernmon, WIIH in a hot and sickly climate,tho rainy season was coming on, whentho already had roads would be madeworse, a tropical storm duo at that timemight drive tbe navy as well us tbo Bup-ply sliipii far out to sea, and it was ex-pert ed that General Pando, with 8,000Spanish troops, would join tho garrisonin tbo city. Under these conditionsShaf tor decided to force the battle atoncu.

From tlmt time on until tbe begin-ning of thu parley ovor mirrondor, theoh'tnentH native or threatening, tbo ira-potunsity of tho troops, OKpocinlly whenthey camo within sight or range of theSpaniards, m woll as thu restleas andunsparing energy of "Pocos Bill" Shaf-ter, combined to rush tbe nrmy forwardat a pricn only compared to that of ahurricane

All this timo and uf tor ward until thaAiDuricuti fhig floated over Santiago tbespirit of tho soldiers was: "Let us go atthem! Lot us go at them 1" This is notto sny that there was indecent haBto,that tho men wore ready to rush head-long into disaster. The result showethat men of all rimks were prepared togo at tha tank in tho deliberate mannersot down for thorn in thoir instructions.They never for a moment forgot thoseinstructions, lino upon lino and precoptupon precept, and it was their coolnosaand self control which saved tho armyfrom horrible disaster and gave ita vic-tory when the turn of a haud mighthave precipitated defeat.

Tbo Spaniards said thot the Ameri-cans violatod tbe rules of warfare bynot retreating after receiving a volleyfrom tho euemy. Thie method of fight-ing ]s not Eet down in the Americantaotics. By going ahead in spite of andiu face of repeated volloys tho welltrained regulars took the Spaniards bysurprise, quite aa much ns tho smoke-less powder and deadly aooarooy of theMauser amazed the Americana.

Lawton hud about 5,000 men for theattaok on El Caney and tho £1 Oaneyheights before Santiago.

Tho duty tlmt ho cimie to tho town toperform was proiu'rly curried nut, and hobegan to Biiwiiiliitu upnn tint lu-«t wiiy tocut homo.

Ho fluid ho wmild iiwnkiMi him-self and tlmt ho would iiotliother any ono,but would slip out uiili'ily eurly In thomorning. Tho train ho WHS to tnko «lanotntupat tlm town unless Iluf&uil. HovlBlted tho station a^i-nt und uskud him ifho would 11»K thu train. Thu Mfictit si.tdrtgrotfully Hint lm went homu at t» o cluoUat night und illil not coino buck until 8o'clock tho next mnrning, hut ho wouldcome down to ohlipu tlio minister. Timclergyman declined this kind ott'ur, muleaid that if tho iigont would leave I. lim-tcrn out whore ho could find it ho wouldlight it and flng tlio train lilnmulf.

This agreemunt was nmtlo nnd tlio cler-gyman went homo nnd retired early.About 4 o'clock ho was astir, mul aftorpneklDK up ho walkiid down to this (sta-tion, n short distiiiici) awny. IJo ruauliodthere uhout 4 :-r>5 o'clock hy his watoh. Hofound tho limtern and Hghtm:l It and eatdown to wait for tho train.

Now everything WHS all rlfjlit exceptthat thiB inlnifctur was an abseutinlndedone nnd had novor rualizod that there wasnn hour's difference in thno between NmvYorknnd tho Ohio town. I t was 6 o'ulnckby his watch, Now York tlnio, tint only 4o'clock western tlnio, and BO ho WHS nnhouruheud of thno. It wiis 0 o'olook byhis time whon tho train was duo, Ho hadwaited only a few mmiiunts wlinn a hi«troln caino rattling along. Ho HHW thoheadlight flure up through tho (Inrknosa

» and ho stopped out and Kwung tils Inn-torn. Tho train drew nearer anil nenrorand slowed up »nd finally came to u fulletop.

Then thnclurgymnn dlfitrovcred that hohad pulled down i\ long fruight. HotpeoohleBB with Biirprise, but tlio onginoorwasn't. Wbon ho learned tlio conditionof affairs, ho broke looso with a torront ofabuso, to whloh tho mlnlstnr nmilo no re-ply. Tho engineer finally elinilnul huokon his engine nnd opened tho throttle. Itwas ncold winter morning nnd tho onglnooreuked. puffed, snorted, whoozed and thewheels spun frantically In gottliiK tho Dip;train Btartod. Finally ho got under wayand loft tbo clergyman behind, bub stilIgnorant of hla tlmo schedule being awry.

Ho ponderod ovor tho situation andfinally oamo to tho conclusion that thopassenger train wns late and tlmt thisfreight was put in nhond on a epcoiaaohedulo. About ten nil mi tea later hisaw another headlight blnzo up in tho dis-tanooand felt confident tlmt this was thopassenger. Bo ho stopped out nnd swungbis lantern. Tho result was that tho train•lowed up and Btoppud, and whon he disoernod its outline through tho darknessbe was almost etunncd to BOG that ho hadpullod down another big frolght—oa hooon learned, tlio Bocond soation of tlio onthat ho had first stopped. There was noth-ing to do but apologize bud stand thnbuBO. This enginoor also got his trainundor wny with difficulty and failed tooomment on tho time dlfforonco.

After this tho minister said grimly thulho would stop everything that wontthrough there- until ho got his train, anda few momenta later whon ho flaw anotherheadlight careoning along toward the stivtlon ho manfully, although with u EinklnBen Bat.on at his heart, stepped out anflagged it. This tlmo ho pullod downheavy construction train, and when hoBaw tho result ho throw up his hands indespair. Tbo conductor of this traiproved to bo a cordial sort of citizen, whtwnso't greatly put out. Ho explainedwhoro all tho troublo was, uftor hcurinthe (ilorgyman'a story, and thon snld:

"Horol You had better got on this traiwith moond I will takoyou up to Colum-bia. That will put n Btop to your flag-glng everything that OOIUOB along."

Thia suggestion was accoptcd, and whoithe paesongor train rolled into tho stntioiat GolutnbUB tho minister climbed oibonrd. When tho conductor cmue throug!for hlB ticket tho minister said genially:

"I saved you a lot of troublo this mornIns;."

"How was that?" said the conductor." I waa going to got on down at C—,

•aid tho minister, "and I was to flag you,but instead I happened to flivg » oaustruitlon train, and tho conductor brought miDp hero to envo tho trouble of stopplnfyou."

An ominous look onnio intoduotor's uye UB ho eald ID a forbldillnjway:

"What did you flag him with?""Why, a lantern, of course," said tho

clergyman."What did you do with it afterward?1

"Why," said tho minister, Instlnotlveljfeeling that thuro wna something wrong," I put It downon tho platform, whoro thiagent could got It whon ho camo along, "
